HOMER J. NORTHCUTT is a son of B. J. and Roxy (Callahan) Northcutt, and is one 

of a family of eight children, four boys and four girls, all of whom are living 

but one boy, who died when an infant. He was born near Dry Ridge, Ky., November 

16, 1872, and reared on a farm until the age of sixteen, when he began to work 

at the carpenter's trade. Two years later, when he had thoroughly learned the 

trade, he began as a contractor, and now, at the age of 28, is one of the largest 

contractors in the northern part of the state. He is also an architect, and 

furnishes plans to his customers on application. Many of the handsome buildings 

with which this issue of the Courier is illustrated are modeled and built by him. 

Among them being the Baptist Church at Dry Ridge and the Methodist and Christian 

Churches in the same town. He also built the fine residence of A. C. Franks. He was 

educated in the common schools. He was married May 7, 1896, to Miss Della Hendrix, 

of Gallatin county. In politics he is a Democrat. He is a member of the Improved 

Order of Red Men, Oswego Tribe, No. 37, Dry Ridge, Ky., and served six months as 

Sachem, the highest office in the lodge, his term ending March 1, 1901. His father 

is still living, at the ripe of age of 83.
