The subject of the review, John R. Terry, is a native of the South, his brith having occurred in the State of Mississippi on the 27th day of Nov. 1875. He is the son of George W. and Clara (Leech) Terry, and both were natives of the Empire State, of whom more extensive mention is made in the sketch of Geo. W. Terry.

The early education of John R. Terry was acquired in the common schools of Winfield, Onondaga township, and he was married May 18, 1900, to Jessie F. Harwood, daughter of John and Emeline (Walworth) Harwood, whose sketches appear elsewhere in the work.

Our subject has followed farming continuously throughout his active business career, having resided one year in Jackson county upon the Tompkins farm and for the last two years upon the Harwood place. Mr. Terry is progressive and industrious and although a young man, has shown remarkable adaptability towards the completion of his chosen profession.

Unto our subject and wife have been born one child, named Harwood. Mr. Terry affiliates with the Republican party, believing that its men and measures are best adapted for the government of the people, and though representing a younger generation of agriculturists, he maintains the high regard of all who know him.
