**********************************************************************

Lytle Bledsaw Higginbotham, the present efficient and popular sheriff
of Washington County, is a native of the same county, and was born on
April 4, 1845.  Like his brothers, he has followed farming and stock
trading.  He has been twice married, first to Miss Josephine Highley,
a native of Washington County, who died August 19, 1877, leaving five
children: Fannie May, Thomas F., Musa Percy, Robert H. and George H.
(twins).  Mr. Higginbotham's second marriage occurred March 5, 1879,
to Nancy S. Nicholson, also of this county.  The latter union has been
blessed with three children, Lytle N., Walter H. and Lattie J. In 1880
Mr. Higginbotham was elected by the Independent party as sheriff of
Washington County by a handsome majority, and served four years, being
elected to the same office in 1886 for the following two years.  The
peculiar adaptability which he seems to have for the office, and his
successful experience in the past has clearly proven that he is the 
right man in the right place.  That he is popular with the people,
irrespective of party, is shown by the highly complimentary vote 
accorded him at the polls.
