D'Armond for five years. Then after a year as clerk for Childers & martin he began merchandising at Pickle's Landing, in the firm Pickle & Cormany, afterward succeeded by D'Armond & Company, our subject being a member of the company. In May, 1882, our subject entered the race for the office he now fills, being re-elected in August, 1886, without opposition.

In 1879 he married Huldah E. Harmon, a native of this county. She died in August, 1883, leaving one daughter, Oma. He then married Alice Cox, of Lenoir's Station. Their only child is Maud. Both are church members, and he is a member of the F. & A.M. fraternity. His parents, Aaron and Eliza (Blausett) are engaged in farming, and also custom milling in this county. They lived in Virginia, their native State, before coming here in 1858. Our subject is the eldest of eight surviving children, four others being deceased.
