PULLIAM, liveryman and county jailer, is a native of Shelby County, Ky., and the second of a family of nine children born to Archibald and Rosamond (Reddish) Pulliam. Mr. Pulliams paternal grandfather was William Pulliam, a native of Virginia. He came to Kentucky many years ago and settled in Shelby County, where he engaged in farming, and where he died in 1851. Archibald Pulliam was born in Shelby County, Ky., in 1816. He was a farmer by occupation, resided in the greater part of his life in Shelby, and died in Nelson County, April 9, 1883. John Reddish, the maternal grandfather of John W. Pulliam, was a native of Virginia and an early comer to Shelby County. He was a teacher by profession and died in the State of his adoption when subject was a small boy. Rosamond (Reddish) Pulliam was born either in Shelby or Spencer County, and is still living at Chaplin, Nelson County. John W. Pulliam was born December 5, 1842, and spent the first twenty years of his life upon the paternal homestead. He received a good English education in the country schools of his county, which he attended until sixteen years of age, and later pursued his studies at the Mt. Eden school, Mt. Eden Village, for two years, obtaining a fair knowledge of the higher branches of learning in the meantime. He commenced life for himself in the mercantile business, at the town of Harrisonville, Shelby County, where he sold goods for two and a half years, at the end of which time he discontinued the business and engaged in the agricultural pursuits in Nelson County, whither he had removed in 1866. In 1872 he again engaged in the goods business, opening near the Russell schoolhouse a general store, which he operated until 1874. From 1874 until 1878 he followed farming, but in the latter year he was elected jailer of Nelson County, a position he has held by successive elections ever since. In November, 1885, he engaged in the livery business with Mr. Muir, under the firm name of Pulliam & Muir, a partnership which still continues. Mr. Pulliam married, April 17, 1872, in Anderson County, Ky., Miss Lydia Glass, daughter of Wakefield and Rebecca Glass, of the same county and State. Five children were born to their union, only two of whom are living, namely: Lizzie and Archie Pulliam. Mr. Pulliam takes a lively interest in political affairs and votes the Democratic ticket. He has been a member of the Baptist Church since 1859, and with his wife belongs to the Bardstown congregation.
