PRESLEY G. WHITAKER, grocery and hardware merchant, Morgantown, was born in Butler County, Ky., March 22, 1854, and received his education in the common schools and Butler County Seminary, Morgantown. His parents were Presley and Talitha A. (Russ) Whitaker, the former a native of Butler County, born in 1825, and the latter of Ohio County, born in 1829, and died in 1869. Presley G. is the eldest of eight children, of whom six are living. Grandfather Johnston Whitaker was the son of Thomas Whitaker, a Scotchman, who immigrated to Maryland in the latter part of the last century, and subsequently became one of the earliest settlers of Butler County, on Mud Creek, and lived to the advanced age of one hundred and four years. P. G. Whitaker was married February 8, 1883, to Miss Frankie E. Kimbley, of South Carrollton, Muhlenburgh [sic] County. They have one child, Maud.

His business is conducted on a cash basis, and his stock of goods
constantly on hand amounts to nearly $4,000. His success in business has been exceptional. He is a member of the Baptist Church, and of the Masonic Woodbury Lodge, No. 280.
