HISTORY


OF


CASS COUNTY


MISSOURI


BY ALLEN GLENN


ILLUSTRATED


HISTORICAL PUBLISHING COMPANY, TOPEKA CLEVELAND 1917.


THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED TO THE UNKNOWN WHITE SETTLERS WITHIN THE PRESENT BOUNDARIES OF CASS COUNTY, MISSOURI.


THE AUTHOR.


1142772 PREFACE.


The writer undertook this work with many misgivings. He expected to find opposition in trying to ferret out information. He has met with more than anticipated. Some have said, "One with more experience should have had the job." Some have said, "What care we for past happenings." Others have said, "What does the future occupant care from whence we came, when we were born and died, and what we did when residing in the county." The greater number have, from pure timidity and desire to shrink from publicity, refrained from telling what they know, from giving their own life's experience, or from ransacking old papers for valuable information, descending from their ancestors. The first may be well founded; to follow the next two to their extremity, we would know no more of our past than the beast of the field. Modesty excuses the last criticism. However, if such will reflect, what a source of com- fort it would be to them, could they turn to some book, poorly written though it be, and see some humble act of a progenitor, which, taken with humble obscure acts of a thousand others, have caused a desert to bloom as a rose! These acts were but a generation or two before you. Two generations from you, and your deeds, though humble and insignificant to you, will be of far more importance to them. The writer suggests when in the future some person undertakes such a work, lend yourself freely and cheerfully, leaving to coming generations to determine the degree of appreciation.


I have endeavored to preserve the names and record the deeds of the early settlers, the pioneers of Cass County. In these hundred years chronicled, people of many states, countries, and nationalities have set- tled our lovely prairies and woodlands. Upon this fertile soil, thanks be to Him, my home was made, without my consent; the early settlers be- came the companions and friends of myself and my ancestors. Their hands broke the prairies and subdued wild nature. A tribute is due to them for the pleasant homes and mansions which we now enjoy. It is to be hoped that this will not be the last monument erected to the memory of the sturdy stock who endured the hardships of other days. The aspi- rations of my life are filled. With age the names of early companions are fading into forgetfulness. March 30th, sixty-five years ago, I first


tender 30.00


saw the light of day, within two miles of this town, in Cass County, Mis- souri. I know of no person now in the county whose residence ante- dates the date of my birth. I have, during all this time, retained my residence here. Many have been the changes, both in persons and ma- terial developments, during this time.


This volume and others preceding it have laid the warp; intermar- riages will supply the woof, as precious stones in the rising temple of our people. We are becoming one family, all of kin. The branches of the various families will become so interwoven as to make one family. Our family trees are continuously crossing ; our kinsmen are multiplying, and we are becoming a greater and more cosmopolitan people. As a great river commingles the waters of a thousand brooks and rivulets, so each youth will be able to see his blood descend from a thousand sources. Pride of ancestry is a virtue, and the person without it is little but a brute. It is the associate of honor and the companion of truth. It in- spires emulation, encourages enterprise, and insures success. When our children's children read the records of their ancestors, it is hoped they will be proud of their names. Each should be anxious to add a sprig of laurel to the garland already upon his family tree.


The errors of this volume are doubtless many; these I hope will be pardoned. Criticism, and even censure, is expected. The author has done the best he could, faulty as it is, and cheerfully leaves the future inhab- itant of the county to judge of the success, if any, achieved. These pages it is hoped will enable the future historian of the county to avoid the mistakes here made, and encourage those who have grudgingly given information, to open their minds and hearts and give such to any future writer.


Now, may the blessing of Him who does all things well, abide with all people of Cass County, now and forevermore.
