RICHARD J. WHITEKER<\/strong>, farmer and trader, P. O. Oddville, was born July 14, 1832, son of Peter and Ann (Dunn) Whiteker, he, born in Maryland, in 1793, died in Kentucky in 1856; she, born in Harrison County in 1798, and died in 1862, having been the second wife of Peter; they had seven children. Our subject was reared to the life of a farmer, and has followed that principally throughout life, although he was engaged in the mercantile business six or eight years. He served as Constable five years and as Magistrate six years, which position he has filled ably and acceptably. Mr. Whiteker began life without a dollar to his name, but by persistent economy and well-applied industry has acquired a competency for approaching old age, he owning a fine farm of 150 acres of land, comfortably improved and two valuable houses in Cynthiana. Feb. 10, 1851, he married Ruth E. Beckett, born Nov. 21, 1833, daughter of John and Alice (Hickman) Beckett of Harrison County. Mr. Whiteker and wife are members of the Methodist Church South and he is a Mason, an Odd Fellow, a Good Templar and a Democrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
