A. P. Craig, merchant and farmer of Perry County, Tenn., was born on the 2d of March, 1851. His father, G. B. Craig, was born in 1821, and moved to Hickman County, Tenn., when young, and then to Perry County. He has made farming his chief business through life, and is still living. The mother, formerly Miss Julia Caruthers, died in October, 1878. In 1874 our subject began merchandising at Cedar Creek Landing, and has continued the business at that place ever since. January 1, 1879, he married Molly C. McDonald, who was a native of Perry County, and their marriage has been blessed in the birth of three daughters: Julia V., Ruby M. and Bessie. In 1882 Mr. Craig came into possession of the farm where he now lives, consisting of over 700 acres, on the left bank of 'Buffalo River. Mr. Craig is a member of the F. & A.
