W. W. RAPER is a native of this county, was born August 28, 1861, and is the
second of the family of nine children bestowed on Andrew J. and Julia A.
(Helton) Raper, the former a native of Monroe County, Ind., the latter of
this county, and both of English extraction.  The subject of this sketch was
reared to the ancient business of husbandry, and acquired some education
from the common schools.  He is now acting as overseer of the farm of his
grandfather.  Mr. Helton is an energetic, industrious and promising young
man, a practical farmer and an esteemed gentleman. In political preference,
he is a member of the Democratic party.

NOTE:  It probably should read "Mr. Raper is an energetic.....", instead of
"Mr. Helton".
