ROBERT H. CHILDERS was born in Grant County, Ky., December 23, 1843, and
is a son of the late Judge Henry Childers.  He is the second child in a
family of thirteen children.  Their names now are Mary Dunlap, R. H.
Childers, Newt. Childers, Lizzie Beard, Jennie Brewer, Alice Dunlap,
Marion Childers, Emma Markham, W. C. Childers, Sidney J. Childers and
Nannie Childers, all living.  The subject of this sketch was reared a
farmer, and has followed that vocation all his life.  He now owns three
hundred acres of fine land in the neighborhood of Delia, well stocked and
well watered.  He is a director in the Dry Ridge Deposit Bank and a large
stockholder.  In politics he is a Democrat of the Downingsville type, and
has been an ardent party worker for many years.  He has never been a
candidate for any office and never expects to be.  He was married to Miss
Sarah E. Conrad, a sister of Hon. J. C. B. Conrad, in November, 1868.
Eleven children have been born to this union, eight girls and three boys,
all of whom are living, and eight of them whom are living at home with
the father, the other three being married, except young Robert, who is
Deputy Sheriff of Grant County under Sheriff G. S. Webb, and lives at
Williamstown.  They are all intelligent and industrious, and altogether
go to make up a very interesting family.
