Thetus W. Sims is a Wayne County Tennessean, born in 1852, one of six surviving members of a family of eight children born to George W. and Jennie (Whitson) Sims, natives of Giles and Hickman Counties, Tenn., respectively. The father's life has been spent on a farm. He removed to Wayne County at an early day and was there married, and resided in that and Hardin Counties until 1877, at which time he moved to the Lone Star State, where he still resides. The mother's death occurred in 1879. Our subject resided with his parents on the farm until twenty-two years of age, when he entered the law department of the Cumberland University, from which institution he graduated in 1876. He then located in Linden, his native town, where he has since made his home. December 26, 1877, he led to the hymeneal altar Nannie H. Kittrell, a native of Maury County, and their union has been blessed in the birth of four children: Edna E., Erskine Kent, Tommie and Bessie.
