W. and Emily (Jackson) Featherson. The father was born in Virginia in 1821, and came to Tennessee about 1830, where he farmed and taught school. Our subject remained at home until twenty-two years of age. He graduated from the Cedar Hill Academy in 1865. He then farmed two years and clerked for G. W. Davis eight mouths. He then became a partner of S. J. Alley in the merchandise business. Soon after Mr. Alley retired and W. Dardon became his partner. A year later Mr. Featherston became sole proprietor, and January 2, 1878, was married to Miss M. E. Long. They have one child, Bertha F., now about four years of age. Our subject is one of Cedar Hill's leading business men and is honest and upright in all his dealings.
