SUGG, WOOD, BINGSLEY, WHITAKER	



W. C. SUGG is one of seven children born to the marriage of Cullen E. and

Sidney SUGG, and was reared at home, receiving his education in the schools

near his home and Viney Grove Academy.  In 1858 he married Mary S.,

daughter of Dr. John and Josephine WOOD.  She was born in Lincoln County in

September, 1841, and bore her husband eight children:  J. D. (merchant),

Jennie (wife of S. A. BINGSLEY), Mary A. (Mrs. J. C. WHITAKER), W. C. Jr.,

Vic, Ida W., Lemuel H. and Thomas F.  Our subject and his brother, L. D.,

farmed together about ten years when he purchased 500 acres of land, on

which he located and which he has increased to 820 acres.  His farm is well

improved with good barns and fine orchards.  Mr. SUGG has trafficked a

great deal in both land and stock, and is a shrewd financier.  Besides his

home farm he owns 400 acres elsewhere.  Most of his children have had the

advantage of a collegiate education and he is a man of broad views and keen

intellect.  He is a bitter antagonist to all monopolies and everything that

tends to oppress the laboring man.  He is conservative, voting always as

his conscience dictates.
