  JOHN RICHEY, farmer, P. O. Palestine, was born in County Derry, Ireland. He is
a son of Andrew Richey, who was born and died in the same country. There were
eight children in the family. Mr. J. Richey was educated mostly in Ireland. He
has been a farmer all his life. He came to the United States in the fall of
1858, settling in Greene County, Ohio. He came to this county in 1868, where he
was joined in matrimony the following year to Miss Sarah A. Fox, born January
26, 1840, in this county. She is a daughter of John and Emeline (McGahey) Fox,
and is the mother of the following children; Abbie J., born July 13, 1871;
William O., born October 10, 1873; James C., born April 11, 1876; Freddie F.,
born September 24, 1878; and David A., born October 12, 1881. Mr. Richey,
through his honesty, frugality and industry, has become the possessor of a nice
farm of 227 acres of land, on which he has good buildings. He has been
identified with the Republican party, is an honored citizen of the community in
which he resides, and, with his wife, is a member of the United Presbyterian Church.
