rard, was born in Kentucky December 28, 1827; married Novem- ber 2, 1847, William Chesnut. Her father, Daniel Garrard, was a colonel in the War of 1812, and her grandfather, Harry Tolman, was secretary of state during Gov. Garrard's administration. She was a large and handsome woman, and possessed of amiabil- ity of disposition and Christian piety.
Judge William Chesnut was born June 5, 1826, in Laurel County, Ky .; died in Platte City March 7, 1895. His parents were Abraham Chesnut and Elizabeth Blakley. He received a good education and became a successful merchant. His latter years were spent, in part, on his farm, and subsequently in Platte City, as a dealer in horses, mules, and cattle. His sound judgment, quiet demeanor, and independence of thought made him a suc- cessful dealer. He accumulated money, and invested in choice lands, which he deeded to his children. He raised a part of a company for Winston's Confederate regiment, but soon tired out, and returned home at the end of a short enlistment. In Novem- ber, 1878, Mr. Chesnut was elected a county court justice, and reelected in 1880 and 1882. He resigned March 1, 1884, and R. L. Waller (i) was appointed to the vacancy. In 1880, and again in 1881, he was president of the County Agricultural Association. For several terms he was an alderman of Platte City, and did more, without compensation, for the town than any other officer we have ever had. He expended much labor and his own money for the improvement of the streets. He lived on his farm, five miles east of Platte City, until June S, 1884, when he moved into town. He survived his wife but a short time, and died March 7, 1895. His estate, including advancements, amounted to $150,000. Ch:

FREDERICK KRAUSE
Died at Platte City. He was a son of Gottlieb Krause and Augus- ta Hesse, and was born in Prussia March 27, 1837. He came to America in 1852; was at St. Louis in 1855, at Memphis in 1857. and finally settled at Platte City March 26, 1859. Here he en- gaged in the business of a butcher. He prospered, and married Elizabeth Christy, who died childless. He then married Septem- ber 26, 1866, Nannie Duncan, daughter of the venerable Geo. P. Duncan, of Clinton County, and sister of the sainted elder. John II. Duncan. (See.) She was born April 18, 1847.
No other man did so much for the improvement of Platte City. It is studded with substantial buildings erected by his enterprise. The finest and costliest business houses on Main Street were built by him, and his rent accounts are now the chief support of his family. His public spirit was continually planning new improve- ments. A few miles east of Platte City he had a large farm. which occupied his attention during his latter years.
Mr. Krause was a zealous member of the Christian Church. His religion was not only sentimental, but energetic. He attend- ed the conventions of the church, and gave earnest attention to the evangelistic work. He read much, and he carried with him Tracts and papers for distribution. He was an ardent Prohibi- tionist, and never pretended to be a member of any other party. His votes were always cast for good men and proper measures, without party feeling. His religion controlled his politics. He was treasurer of the County Sunday-school Convention, and at the next session after his death an eulogy was pronounced upon his character. This duty was assigned to me, as one of his par- ticular friends in his lifetime. His will left all his property to his widow, in trust for herself and children. At his funeral I read a poem, from which I reproduce a stanza :

THE KRAUSES.
Where's the man so true and faithful
To the Savior's holy cause?
Where's the man so firm and loyal
To the State-its courts and laws?
In the word of God he trusted, And its precepts were obeyed.
He was true to faith and conscience, And he voted as he prayed.

OCTOBER. COL. R. P. WOOD.
Oct. 3-Col. R. P. Wood died at Parkville. He was born in Mercer County, Ky., December 28, 1813. His parents were Wil- liam Wood and Sarah Thomas. They came to Clay County, Mo., in 1829, and settled near Liberty. The father and mother died in 1834, within two weeks of each other. In 1838 Richard P. mar- ried Angeline Wallis, a member of the distinguished family of Wallises hailing from Clay. The newly married couple came to what is now the B. D. Moore farm, on Todd's Creek. In 1849 Mr. Wood sold out, and made the overland trip to California. Upon his return, he purchased a farm near Liberty, and in 1867 engaged in the dry goods trade in Liberty. He subsequently removed to Parkville, and entered the drug and grocery business. He was. a gentleman of noble and generous feelings. I was his intimate friend for fifty years, and can testify to his intelligence, kindness of heart, and his social temperament. In early life he served a term as justice of the peace, and in the militia took some pride. He saw much in the early settlement of the State, and in his: Western adventures, and was entertaining in conversation. He never joined any church, though a believer. His widow survives. (See.) Ch:
