  JAMES RICHEY, farmer, P. O. Palestine, was born in County Derry, Ireland. His
father, Andrew Richey, was born and died in County Derry, Ireland. Our subject
went to school mainly in Ireland. His occupation is that of a farmer. He came to
the United States in 1861, settling in Cedarville, Ohio. He finally came to
Illinois, where he was joined in matrimony, November 26, 1874, to Miss Emma L.
Miller, born December 29, 1854, in this county. She is the daughter of Henry H
and Luna (Wheeler) Miller, and the mother of three children-Flora J., born
September 28, 1875, Luna B., born August 2, 1877, and Harry, born September 28,
1880. Mr. Richey is a quiet, unassuming gentleman; the owner of a nice farm,
with good buildings, and also the architect of his own fortune. He is a
Republican. Mrs. Richey is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church; her
uncle, J. E. Miller, was a First Lieutenant in the army.
