GEORGE B. PARRETT.
Ninety years ago there was born in this county a lad who was destined to become one of the most prominent citizens of Fayette county. Although he has now passed to his reward, yet the sincere and fruitful life he led was such that his influence is still felt in the community where he spent so many years of his active life. He was a man of great force of character and always stood on the right side of all moral questions. He was an ardent Prohibitionist and was a strong foe of the liquor traffic all his life. Successful in business, he never lost sight of his obligations to those around him and was in the forefront of every movement which was launched for the betterment of his community. Such men give character to a locality and of such strength was Mr. Parrett that he was a leader in all uplifting movements. He will always be remembered as a man who stood for better and higher things and therefore left a name which will always be cherished by his children and honored by those who were so fortunate as to know him.
The late George B. Parrett was born January 19, 1834, in Fayette county and died in Madison township, July 4, 1913. He was the son of Joseph J. and Rebecca (Fansher) Parrett, both of whom were natives of Coke county, Tennessee, and the youngest of a family of eight sons and one daughter. Joseph J. Parrett served in the War of 1812 and, among other privations.
