ZACHARY TAYLOR CORUM, Butler County, is a native of Warren County, Ky.,
born April 8, 1849.  He remained with his parents until the age of
eighteen, working on the farm.  Previous to his eighteenth year he
attended school for a few short terms, and had laid the foundation of
the education which he has since acquired by close reading and
self-culture.  In 1867 he set out to make his own way in life, worked
on a farm one year, then superintended farming for other parties for
four years; went to Tennessee in 1872, and drove team on road two years;
then traveled through Louisiana and Florida for awhile; returned and
farmed in Ohio and Muhlenburgh [sic] Counties; afterward engaged in the
lumber and stave business six years, in which he was successful and
acquired an independence.  He started in life with no capital except
his own energy and business tact, and attributes much of his success
to the help and encouragement of his wife, Elizabeth Turner, whom he
married December 24, 1878; she is a daughter of William Turner, of
Muhlenburgh County.  Their union is blessed with one daughter and one
son - Ethel and Elieo.  Mr. Corum is a Democrat.  He and Mrs. Corum are
members of the Protestant Methodist Church, in which Mr. Corum is a
steward.  His father, Champion Corum, was born in Barren County, August
13, 1826, and on March 20, 1845, married Mary J. McKy, a daughter of
John McKy, of Barren County; she survives, aged seventy-one years.  He
was a farmer, and died in 1882, leaving one son - Zachary T.  Champion
Corum, Sr., the grandfather of our subject, was a native of Virginia.
He came to Kentucky in the latter part of the eighteenth century, and
located in Barren County, where he resided until his death.  John McKy
was also a Virginian, and of Irish descent; came to Kentucky when a
boy, but died in Coles County, Mo., aged seventy years.
