GEORGE W. NALL was born December 12, 1834 in Hopkins County, Ky., and is a son of George W. and Margaret (Holeman) Nall. The father was born in Hopkins County, and died October 31, 1882, aged eighty-three; the mother was born in Caldwell County, February 27, 1804, and died in 1854. Our subject in youth received a liberal education; at the age of twenty he settled on a tract of 100 acres of land given him by his father, and has since increased this land from time to time, to about 400 acres, and it is one of the best improved farms in his locality. In 1882 he built a barn 60x80 feet, at a cost of about $2,000; this barn is said to be the best arranged of any in this part of the State. Mr. Nall was married, in March, 1856, to Martha Banks, of Union County; she died in January, 1867, leaving three sons and three daughters. October 30, 1867, Mr. Nall married Sarah E. McClellan, of Webster County. Two sons and four daughters have blessed this union.
