their home for six years, when they removed to Gallatin, this county. At an early age in life his father studied
medicine but never practiced till he located in Livingston county; prior to that time he labored as a minister
in the Methodist Episcopal Church. The father died in Callaway county, May 11, 1857, and the mother died in Daviess
county, May 1, 1870. On September 2d, 1851, Dr. Venable married Miss Elizabeth J. Willson, of Ray county, born
September 27, 1829. She was a daughter of Hon. James H. Willson, of Louisiana; her mother's ancestors were from
Kentucky. Eight children were the fruits of this union; namely, Henry, born August 7, 1852; Horace, born March
5, 1854; Nancy Helen, born February 5, 1856; Sallie May, born July 29, 1857; Sophronia Amy, born July 18, 1860;

has been a successful practitioner for many years. He at one time was in business in Iowa, and there accumulated
a vast amount of property but adverse circumstances in the milling business caused him to lose heavily, but now
he is again on solid footing.
