Robert Wade Oglesby Henry Elisha Oglesby was his father, was born and reared in Tennessee and is of Scotch-Irish decent. Tennessee Flemming was born in Texas but reared in Tennessee. She and Mr. Oglesby were married in Tennessee in 1866. They reared a large family. He was a farmer. He died in 1879 and his wife one year later. Robert Wade was born in Obion County, Tenn., September 4, 1871. He was educated in the Glass High School and Peabody Normal College where he graduated. In 1891 he began the practice of law and has steadily practiced that profession since. He is quite suave and amiable in his bearing. He represented his county in Tennessee in the State Legislature, and now aspires, as we learn, to go to the State Senate from this district. August 28, 1902, he led Miss Carrie E. Emerson to Hymen's altar, and he has never accomplished a better success. They have two boys, Jack and Stennis. He belongs to the M. E. Church South, Knights of Pythias, is a Mason, and a Woodman. Mr. Oglesby says there is certainly great development for this section and that our schools and churches are growing rapidly into great usefulness and efficiency. Good roads and intensive farming must come as a legitimate consequence of our present forces and aspirations. Motto: "To do all the good I can and as little harm."
