T. B. Remy, farmer and stock raiser, is one of the prominent residents
of Maxey Township, where he has 160 acres of land, with about eighty
acres under cultivation. He was born in Washington County, Ark., and
came with his parents to this county when about six years of age. They
remained in this county until 1884, and here the father died. The
parents were both natives of Kentucky, and in their family were ten
children, seven now living. The mother is still living, and is a
resident of California. Their son, T. B. Remy, is the third child in
order of birth, and like his father is a tiller of the soil. About the
time he was ready for school his father was crippled, and he was
obliged to assist in making a living, consequently his educational
advantages were limited. He was married in Franklin County, in 1869,
to Miss Betsey A. Wagner, daughter of Mark H. and Mary A. Wagner, and
a native of Crawford County, Tenn., born in 1843. This union resulted
in the birth of four children: Jesse, Cyrus, Thomas and Richard. Mr.
Remy commenced life a poor man, but by industry, and with the
assistance of his admirable wife, has overcome all difficulties, and
is now one of the prosperous farmers of the county. He is a Democrat
in his political opinions, and an excellent citizen.
