O. H. P. Read was born in Grainger County, Tennessee, in 1816, and died in Paradise, Texas, March 3, 1897. He came to mature years in his native state and married Jane Bull and then settled in Taney county, Missouri, where, in Forsyth, he plied the gunsmith's trade. He came to Texas, as before added, to build him a rural home and here he was known only as a farmer. He made a success of his venture and was enabled to provide moderately for his children when they should be ready to begin life. He married a lady of German birth, who preceded him to the grave, dying in 1878 at seventy-three years of age. Their children were: William, who is the oldest, and is still living; Eliza, who married Francis Fore and died some time during the war; Sarah, who married Newton Youngblood and is deceased; Caroline, who married Harvey Youngblood and she and her husband died in March, 1880; Gideon died in 1865, aged twenty; John, died in 1882; James K., of this review; Mary, who married Mecajah Britt and died some time during the war.
