Robert A. Haggard, attorney at law of Waynesboro, Tenn., is a native of Wayne County and son of James Haggard, Esq., whose sketch appears in this work. Robert A. was educated in the common schools and was reared on a farm. At the age of twenty-one he became a disciple of Blackstone, with the view of making law a profession, and entered the law department of the State University of Iowa in 1880, and graduated in June, 1881, with the degree of LL.B. He returned home and began practicing in October, 1881, and has continued to the present time, with good success. November 29, 1883, he married Annie C. Norman, a native of Lawrence County.. They have one child named Nona. Mr. Haggard is a Republican in political views, and is a candidate on that ticket for county clerk, subject to the August (1886) election. He is among the successful and enterprising young lawyers of the county, and bids fair to rank among the first in his profession in the State.
