As a newspaper man Mr. Lincoln was literally bred to the business. After receiving a common school education, he entered his father's office and learned the printing trade, and has served in all capacities in a newspaper office, from "roller boy" to that of city editor of a daily paper and publisher of a weekly journal. On the 9th of May, 1871, Mr. Lin- coln married Miss Ella Virginia Roach, of Wabash, Indiana, and daughter of Joseph and Angeline Roach, of Virginia, who settled in Indiana, and are now de- ceased. To Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln have been given five children, namely: Mary S., Ella JJ., Henry F., William H. and Edith A. Polit- ically, Mr. Lincoln is a life long republican and during the war served in volunteer organization of the 47th Infantry Regiment, N. G. S: N. Y., and was honorably discharged at the expiration of his two terms of service in Maryland and Virginia, that were in response to the call for volunteers made by President Lincoln in 1852 and 1863.

RESIDENCE OF ANDREW BROWN, ONE MILE SOUTHEAST OF SALISBURY, MO. -
ERRY S. RADER, one of Chariton county's most prominent cit- izens and successful attorneys, who is quite as conspicuous for his modest and retiring nature, as for his intelligence and ability, was born at Carthage, Missouri, November 24, 1859, the son of Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Rader. The Rader family is of German descent, the ancestors of our subject having been among those who early emigrated to this country and took part in the struggle for independence. Wm. Rader, paternal grandfather of our subject, was an early settler of Missouri, in which state his son, Andrew M., the father of Perry S., grew to manhood, achieving considerable reputation as a pioneer Methodist preacher of the southwest.
Isabella A. (MeFarland) Rader, mother of our subject, was a great grandaughter of Sir Robert McFarland, of Scotland, whose im- mediate descendants, emigrating to this country, located in Tennessee, where they were the recipients of distinguished honors, occupying various responsible positions of trust. Alexander McFarland, the maternal grandfather of our subject, located in JJohnson county, Mo., about 1833, soon after which time his daughter, Isabella, was united in marriage to the young minister, Andrew Rader. This union result

ed in the birth of thirteen children, eleven of whom are now living, our subject being the eighth.
Perry S. Rader was reared in Saline county, receiving the limit- ed advantages of the district school in the winter months and follow- ing agricultural pursuits in sum- mer. Arriving at the proper age and encouraged by his parents, our subject, in 1879 matriculated at Central College at Fayette, spending twelve months within its walls, after which owing to his limited means, he began teaching near Marshall. Two years later Mr. Rader again entered Central College and four years later realized the bright anticipations of his boyhood, finishing a full classical course, graduating in 1886 with the degree of A. B.
Choosing the profession of law as suitable employment, on leav- ing school, he began its study in the office of Judge J. P. Strother, of Marshall, Mo .; elected to the vice-Principalship of the Brunswick public schools, he accepted the position serving one year, when he purchased an interest and became editor of the Howard County Adver- tiser, of Fayette, Mo., where he remained one year and disposed of his interest and devoted his entire time to the study of law. He was ad- mitted to the bar in 1888 and remained at Fayette until 1889, then locating at Brunswick, securing an interest and becoming editor of the Weekly Brunswicker; also, continuing the practice of his profession and to which he now devotes his entire time.
In 1891, Mr. Rader published a small volume, "Rader's School History of Missouri," which is extremely valuable for the reliable sta- tistics and correct data therein contained, arranged in an attractive style and well adapted to the needs of the public and preparatory schools.
In December of 1889, Mr. Rader was united in marriage to Miss Bennie Younger, a lady of high accomplishments, culture and refine- ment and the daughter of Mrs. Idress E. Ashby, of Brunswick. This union has been blessed by the birth of two bright and interesting children, one son and a daughter, John Wallace and Asabel Adelaide.

PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.
Progressive and public-spirited, our subject is ever ready to do his full share in the extension of local improvements; a gentleman of carnest purpose, gives ready aid to the establishment of worthy en- terprises. A kind friend and neighbor, he dwells among his acquaint- ances, respected and honored for his true worth and sterling integrity of character.
OUIS BENECKE, attorney-at-law at Brunswick, Mo., and a gen- tleman well and favorably known throughout North Missouri, was born in Germany in 1843, and emigrated to the United States in 1856, settling at the above named town. At the breaking
out of the late unpleasantness, Mr. Benecke entered the U. S. service as a private in Company H. 18 Mo. Volunteers, and was promoted to Sergeant and Lieutenant, and from which company he was honorably discharged; re-entered service as Captain of Company I. 49 . Missouri volunteers and was honorably mustered ont August 2, 1865. During

the last year of the war, Captain Benecke was for four months in com- mand of the Military Int. District of Chariton and Randolph counties. At the close of the war he returned to Brunswick and in the following year was elected mayor of his city, also a director of the public school -. the first in the county-being re-elected to the latter position each term, until 1870, when he resigned on account of his election to state senate. While a member of the Legislature, Mr. Benecke was the author of the Chariton county local bill, which met with such favor that the legislature some years afterwards, incorporated the main pro- vision verbatim into the general law. This measure saved the tax- payers large sums of money in reducing fees and limiting salaries of county officers. Since 1875, Mr. Benecke has been re-elected to various county offices, among others that of mayor, president and member of the school board. He has been active in the advancement of all local interprises, and is one of the original incorporators of the First National Bank, of Brunswick, Mo., and of which he is a director; also, of the Brunswick Brick and Tile Company; the Elliott Grove Cemetery, the first in the county; is President of the Brunswick Library Association and a member of several other business and social associations. For four years, Mr. Benecke held the highest oflice, in the state, of the Knights of Honor aud during the years 1895-96 was Department Commander of the Grand Army Republic.
Captain Benecke was never defeated for any elective office, having been honored by his neighbors and friends to various offices over thirty times, however he now asserts that hereafter he would decline to accept any office that may be tendered him, except to devote his en- tire time to his profession, the practice of law. Mr. Benecke's fam- ily consists of his wife and five children, two daughtersand three sons.
Personally, Captain Benecke is a gentleman with a host of friends. but, not unlike others, he also has some enemies, of whom he is as fond of the one as of the other, believing that a man who has no enemies, is not worth having as a friend. To him no charitable ap- peal has ever been made in vain, responding toall without ostentation. He is a member of the Evangelist Protestant Church, and a staunch republican, politically.

Co., who, on the 14th day of October of the same year began the pub- lication of the Brunswicker. In 1854 Col. Caspar W. Bell, at present a citizen of Salisbury, became the editor and proprietor of the paper and was soon afterwards joined by Willis H. Plunkett. These gentle- men sold the paper to O. D. Hawkins in 1856, and he to Colonel R. H. Musser. Dr. W. H. Cross became the next proprietor of the paper, who consolidated with the Central City, changing the name to Central City Brunswicker; the name of the Weekly Brunswicker was re- sumed in 1856. In 1858 Robert C. Hancock became proprietor, he continuing until 1862, when the late Dr. Cunningham assumed control, but two years later he (Hancock) again became owner, selling the plant to Cunningham & Winslow in the fall of 1865. In the summer of the following year J. B. Naylor and W. H. Balthis took charge of the paper and continued its publication until 1875, when Naylor assumed entire control, continuing until 1880, when Kinley & Wallace purchased the plant, good will and subscription list. The present company, known as the Brunswicker Publishing Company, was organ- ized June 1, 1888 and is composed of Messrs, J. C. Wallace, P. S. Rader and C. E. Stewart.
Chariton Courier, the second oldest paper in the county, was established in 1871, at Keytesville, by Thomas D. Bogie, and was called the Keytesville Herald. In 1874 Bogie sold the plant to Win. E. Jones and he in turn to J. L. Hudson, now of the Macon City Times, who changed the name to Chariton Courier, in June 1878. Hud- son sold the paper to Vandiver & Collins and they in turn to C. P. Vandiver, (see sketch page 170) the present editor and proprietor.
The Salisbury Press-Spectator is a consolidation of the Salisbury Press, started by J. M. Gallemore, June 1, 1871, and the Salisbury Spectator started by M. R. Williams in 1880. The consolidation occurred in July, 1881. J. G. Gallemore, the present editor and pro- prietor of the paper, assumed entire control in the spring of 1884. (See sketch page 126.)
The Brunswick News was started in March, 1875, by D. T. Beatty, who continued its publication about 6 months, it then being known as the Republican. The present name was given it in October, 1875. when Charles R. Luster became editor and proprietor, he continuing its publication until 1893, when H. F. Lincoln, the present owner assumed control.
The Salisbury Democrat was first started at Cunningham, after- wards moved to Keytesville and then to Salisbury in 1886 by M. A.

Dismukes and soon afterwards disposed of his remaining interest. Mr. Dismukes, the present proprietor, assumed control of the paper in October, 1894, though he has been off and on connected with the paper with different partners since first purchasing an interest.
The Keytesville Signal was established at Keytesville in January of 1893, J. K. Robertson & Son, and by whom it has since been pub- lished.
The Mendon Citizen, a democratic journal published weekly, by J. M. Collins, was established in 1886.
The Sumner Star was established in 1890, and has since been pub- by C. W. Northcott.
EIN, situated on the west half section 14, township 56, range 17, and twenty miles north of Salisbury, and nine miles south of New Cambria, Macon county, was laid out by Francis Moenning, Leonard Holtz and Anton Huber, and is one of Chariton county's most prominent rural villages. The location of the town is all that could be desired, being a high rolling prairie, almost exempt from malarial diseases, so common in low lands. As an educational center, Wein's reputation is by no means confined to the rural districts of the neighborhood, it being the home of one of the best schools of the county and posessing the finest church, the property of the Catho- lics. Mount St. Marie's church, is an elegant brick structure, con- pleted at a cost of about $25,000, and is elegantly finished and furn- ished throughout. Religious services are conducted very Sunday. The accommodations of the school building, just west of the church, are first-class, amply meeting all demands. The school year consists of ten months, commencing Sept. 1. Wein has a number of enter- prising and substantial business establishments, that enjoy the confi- dence and patronage of the many thrifty citizens that inhabit that community.
EV. J. HENNES, pastor of St. Joseph Parish, is the subject of this sketch, and now has charge of St. Joseph Church and school, vice Rev. J. L. Gadell. Rev. Hennes was born in Alfter near Borne near the river Rhine, Rhenish Prussia, Germany, November 21,

1849, and was the youngest of a family of Mathias and Catherine (Kuhl) Hennes both natives of Germany, now deceased.
Our subject came to America with his parents, when he was only six years of age, who settled upon a farm, near Milwaukee, Wis. where he grew up under the restrictions of good religious parents. Rev. Hennes graduated from St. Francis Seminary, near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, having spent eleven years in the studie of classical and theological courses of that institution. He completed his theological studies or Cape Girardeau, Missouri, in 1872, and in November of the same year was ordained as minister of the gospel. The following two years he served as assistant at Holy Trinity Church, St. Louis, Mo .. when he was removed to St. Charles, where he acted in the same capacity in St. Peter's Church; here he remained until the spring of 1875, when transferred to Deep Water, Mo., where he labored until the spring of 1876. He then took charge of the St. John's Church, at Pierce City from 1876 to 1879. October, 1879, he removed to Rich- wood, Mo., where he served as pastor of St. Stephen's Church. In

July, 1884, he assumed the duties of pastor of St. Bridget's Church, in Pacific, Mo., from which point he was transferred to Perryville, Mo., where he remained until May, 1896, when he went to Salisbury, to take charge of St. Joseph's Church and the school.
Since his arrival in Salisbury, Rev. Hennes has done a great deal · towards the upbuilding of the Catholic church at that place, and has freed the parish of a large debt that hung over their house of worship and school.
St. Joseph's Church was organized at Salisbury in 1874 with six- teen members and was dedicated by Bishop Ryan, of St. Louis, but has never before met with the success, that it has under the charge of Father Hennes. He has worked hard since his arrival, and has gotten everything in conjunction with his duties as pastor of this parish, in good working order. In connection with St. Joseph's church, our subject also has full charge of St. Joseph's School, and with the aid of one assistant. has brought the school to the front and is now in a thriving condition. The school building was erected in 1890, dedica- tion service taking place in February, 1891. The building is in keep- ing with the progressive spirit of our enterprising city and is a credit to the 50 or 60 families now forming the parish. All the studies of the school are conducted in English with the exception of one hour

daily devoted to German. The school building is a two-story structure of brick and of an imposing appearance. During the summer of 1892 the frame church was moved from the old site to the new one and, after being remodeled and enlarged, was prettily decorated in paint- ing and frescoing by the brush of our local artists, Mr. McMullin. The present church is looked upon as temporary. In the course of a few years these good people, having abundant harvest and plenty of silver for their wheat expect to put up an elegant church, better fitted to stand beside their beautiful school building. They are enthusiastic and generous to a fault, and deserve much credit for the good they have done for their community.

you pay little for good things. Ease, beauty and economy have always been the characteristics of our house. If you want anything in the shoe line, at any time, give us a call and we guarantee satisfaction.
Respectfully,
East Side Broadway.
A. WEILER,
SALISBURY, MO.
