JUDGE CHRISLER CELEBRATES
Judge W. B. CHRISLER is celebrated his 75th birthday anniversary Tuesday. He was born in Elbert county, Georgia, but moved with his parents to Mississippi when he was only four years old. His father was a neighbor of the last President Jefferson Davis, of the Southern Confederacy, and the Judge heard him make a speech just before the Civil war. After the breaking out of the war he came north, as his sympathy was with the Union, and joined the 5th Kentucky Cavalry, as chaplain. While with the Army he participated in the capture of Atlanta and was one of Sherman's escort when General Johnson surrendered to the Union forces. He came to Bedford in 1868, and being a man of good education, he took the lead in educational affairs and was elected County Superintendent of Schools of Lawrence county. He has been a Justice of the Peace for many years, and is prominent in church circles. He lives on H street, in the old CARR homestead, and has good health and bids fair to live many more years of usefulness.
