JOSHUA CRUMPACKER

(Farmer, Post-office, Spring Hill) .

Since 1853 he whose name heads this sketch has been numbered among the representatives and substantial agriculturists of Livingston county, Mo., having come here from Indiana. He is now of an advanced age, nearly 80 years old, but sound in mind and body and possessed of all his faculties, one of the respected, honored citizens of this portion of the county. Born in Bedford county, Va., May 14,

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

1807, he was the son of Joel and Elizabeth (Rife) Crumpacker, the latter a daughter of John Rife, a native of Maryland. In 1835 they became located in Indiana and this continued to be their home until their death. Including Joshua there were eight children in the family : Benjamin, John, Joel, Anna, Elizabeth, wife of Daniel Y. Kesler; Nancy and Daniel. Joshua was reared upon a farm in Virginia and has always followed this calling as his principal occupation, though to some extent he gave his attention to carpentering and milling. Moving to Indiana in 1835, he resided there until coming to this county in 1853. In the meantime, August 15, 1849, he was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Willson, daughter of Peter and Sarah Willson. To himself and wife were born five children: Perry, born May 7, 1850; Ella, born October 9, 1852, wife of David Girdner; Alice, born April 7, 1855, now Mrs. George Black ; Peter, born March 28, 1857, died September 11, 1857; and Rife, born July 17, 1859. For a number of years Mr. Crumpacker has been a member of the Masonic fraternity and he now belongs to Spring Hill Lodge No. 155. Himself and wife are consistent members of the Baptist Church and in every way upright, esteemed people.

JONATHAN J. DRYDEN (Deceased).

On the 13th of November, 1855, there died, at his home in Living- ston county, Mo., a man who had been a resident of this county for fifteen years, and whose name had stood from the beginning without reproach - Jonathan J. Dryden. So many of his children have be- come prominently identified with the affairs of this county, that it is but proper a sketch of his life should be inserted here. Originally from Sullivan county, Tenn., he was born November 15, 1813. In 1838 he removed to Missouri, locating in Daviess county. Previous to that time he had served as a soldier in the Florida War in 1836 and 1837, from which he was honorably discharged, and for his services he received a land warrant. After his settlement in Daviess county he took active and deep interest in its welfare, and, besides his con- nection with its agricultural affairs, was engaged in school teaching and also became well known in an official capacity. Besides being assessor he was sheriff in 1854, his election to that office being by the largest majority ever bestowed upon a candidate for that position. His death occurred while he was discharging the duties of that office, and his loss was the more keenly felt because it was known that a good and useful man had departed. His wife was formerly Caroline L. Dryden, a native of Washington county, Va., and daughter of William and Sarah Dryden. The latter's parents were Francis and Sarah Berry, Virginians by birth. Mrs. Caroline Dryden was born in 1813, and in 1830 accompanied her father's family to Chariton county, Mo., moving thence to Daviess county. The father was a farmer and black- smith, and after moving to Linn county, he remained there until his death in 1860 ; his wife survived until 1874, dying in the same county.

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

Fifteen children were in their family, twelve of whom grew to maturity : Nathaniel J., Constantine, Augustine, Caroline L., Eliza A., Sallie H., William W., Thomas L., Louisa, Oscar D., Virginia A. and John Q. Jonathan Dryden and wife had given them five children : David N., born January 6, 1843 ; William L., now deceased ; Louisa J., wife of John R. Brown ; Thomas A., born January 4, 1851, and John R., born July 4, 1854. Mr. D. was a participant in both the Mormon and Heatherly Wars. All his children are members of the M. E. Church South. Thomas A. Dryden, at whose instance this sketch is inserted, is closely occupied in tilling the soil here, and, on account of his thorough acquaintance with the calling, is making it a success.

REV. J. W. FRENCH (Post-office, Lock Springs).

The personal example and influence which this humble but worthy minister of the Gospel casts about him in every-day life can not but be beneficial to those who enjoy the privilege of his companionship, for by no means the least of his gifts is the transcendent power of personal quality. His faithful, earnest endeavors to show others the error of their ways and to point them to Christ, have not gone un- rewarded, and while it may not be his privilege to witness the reaping of all the truths which he has spoken, he has been enabled to feel the force of that precious passage in God's word that " He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again re- joicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Mr. French was born in Stewart county, Tenn., February 1, 1822. His father was Marshal French, also of Tennessee nativity, his parents having removed to that State from North Carolina. He died there while his son, J. W., was quite young. The maiden name of his mother was Mary Lindsey, of the same State, her parents also having come originally from North Carolina. J. W. grew up in the State of his birth and there received his education, removing to Livingston county, Mo., in 1846. His first settlement was made south of the river, where he continued to farm for some time. About 1856 he was licensed to preach in the Cumber- land Presbyterian Church and in 1858 was ordained, his connection at that time being with the Chillicothe Presbytery and the McAdow Synod. From the commencement of his ministerial career he labored principally in Grundy, Harrison and Daviess counties until 1873, when he was incapacitated from further service on account of sickness. During this time, however, he assisted in the organization of many new churches. In 1868 he came to his present place of residence and here he owns 240 acres of land. September 14, 1844, Mr. French was married to Miss Nancy Emaline Mckinney, who was born in Jan- uary, 1823, in the same county as himself, and daughter of Zanty and Sarah Whited Mckinney. The former was born in South Carolina. August 23, 1797, and after the War of 1812 removed to Tennessee, where he remained until removing to Missouri, May 31, 1855. Mrs. Mckinney's death occurred in 1879 and she left four children : Martha,

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

Mrs. William Haddock ; Adaline, Mrs. James Minnick ; Margaret, now Mrs. John Minnick, and Nancy E. Mr. and Mrs. French have four children : Lycurgus, in Daviess county ; Isabel, wife of John Foster, in Dakota ; Edgar, at home farm, and Lizzie M. Four are deceased : William G., Adley F., Lavina I. and Sarah, who married Thomas Minnick. Miss Lizzie Mildred has never been able to walk, having been paralyzed in infancy from the effects of fever. She is now an attractive young lady, of pleasing manners and sunny disposition, the effects of which are felt by all with whom she comes in contact. Her example of Christian fortitude is seldom seen at the present day. Mr. F. is a charter member of Lock Spring Lodge, of the A. F. and A. M. His personal popularity is as wide as his acquaintance.

JOHN GROUSE

(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 12, Post-office, Chillicothe).

Mr. Grouse is a German-American and a farmer, and that is enough to carry the assurance that he is one of the substantial men of Sampsel township, where he resides. Thrift is the leading character- istic of the German people, and ordinarily they become well-to-do. Mr. Grouse was born in Germany September 8, 1827, the son of Michael and Rosana Grouse, also natives of that country, where they resided until their death. They were the parents of four children : Catherine, Christina, Rosana, now Mrs. Geo. Mast, and John, all besides the latter having remained in their native country. Upon growing up he was taught both farming and milling, and was favored with good educa- tional advantages, which were improved. In 1852, he emigrated to America and settled in Ohio, where he remained for eight years, then coming to Missouri, in which he has since resided. He now devotes himself to the care and management of his place of two hundred and ten acres, a well improved farm, and which is being conducted in the best possible manner. His rise to his present position has been accomplished only at the expense of hard toil, for on coming here he had hut limited means. In 1854, Mr. Grouse was married in his native country to Miss Barbara Landenberger, whose birth occurred in Germany in 1828, the other children in her parents' family being Mary and Goodlou. Mr. and Mrs. Grouse had have eleven children : Christina, born February 14, 1854, now Mrs. Christopher Seitter, of Caldwell county ; Mary, born October 23, 1855, wife of John Mast ; John F., born August 16, 1857 ; Goodlou, born November 5, 1859 ; George H., born August 4, 1861 ; Rosana, born May 7, 1863; Katie, born January 9, 1865; Elizabeth, born March 1, 1869 ; Willie F., born August 28, 1871; George, born November 27, 1858, died Sep- tember 2, 1860; Charles F., born October 17, 1867, died March 18, 1885.

CHARLES W. HOSKINSON

(Farmer, Section 3, Post-office, Sampsel).

Mr. Hoskinson was born in Ohio county, Ky., February 9, 1841, his maternal grandparents being Thomas and Katy Ashby, both Vir-

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

ginians by birth, who removed in an early day to Kentucky. On his father's side his grandparents were Hugh and Nancy Hoskin- son, originally from the Blue Grass State. Mr. H.'s father, Chas. C. Hoskinson, was born and brought up in Kentucky, as was also his wife, formerly Miss Tamer Ashby. The former was a farmer by occupation, and he remained in his native State until 1862, when he died. Ten children had blessed his marriage, and of these the following are deceased : Thomas W., Susan C., Cynthia J. and Mar- garet E. Those who reached maturity are Sarah E., now Mrs. Aaron Jewell ; Joseph W., in Ohio county, Ky. ; Charles W. ; James A., in Kentucky; Ruth A., now Mrs. Conrad Roder, of Philadelphia, Pa. ; John R., of Iron county, Mo. Having been brought up on a farm it was perhaps but natural that Mr. Hoskinson should choose that occupation as his calling in life. This he has since continued, and with the substantial results that only come of strict attention to business and care and thoroughness in the discharge of every de- tail. He now owns 110 acres of land. In 1861 he enlisted in the United States service in Co. D, 26th Kentucky infantry, took part in the battle of Shiloh, and on the second day of the engagement was wounded, then being sent to the hospital at St. Louis. In a month thereafter he received a furlough for sixty days, then went home, and from there to Evansville, Ind., going thence three months later to Louisville, where he remained two and a half months. He obtained an honorable chischarge in 1863, and in 1869 he left Kentucky and took up his location in this county. June 5, 1862, Mr. H. married Miss Sarah E. Ashby, daughter of Thomas and Tirtha Ashby, of the same county as himself. They have nine children: Charles T., born October 24, 1863 ; Frances A. A., born August 8, 1866 ; Susan M. E., born December 31, 1868 ; William A. L., born December 3, 1871 ; Edmund H., born May 5, 1874 ; Lillian R., born December 12, 1876 ; Cynthia J., born September 29, 1879; Effie May, born April 7, 1882, and Joseph R .. born April 10, 1884. Frances married George W. Cooper March 4, 1884, and they have one son, John W. R., born October 13, 1885.

HENRY HUTCHINSON

(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 1, Post-office, Spring Hill).

The estate which Mr. Hutchinson now cultivates embraces 200 acres, land well adapted to the purposes of general farming, and in his operations he displays those sterling principles characteristic of men of Kentucky birth, especially industry and wise, judicious man- agement. He was born January 25, 1832, in Lincoln county, of the Blue Grass State, his father being William Hutchinson, a Virginian by nativity. The latter was reared in Kentucky as a farmer and about the year 1843 removed to Livingston county, Mo., where he made his home until his death. His wife's maiden name was Mary Carpenter, daughter of Henry Carpenter, also of Kentucky. To Henry's pa- rents were born 10 children : John J., Sophia J., Betsy A., Susan

Amanda, Polly A., James (deceased ), Robert, Americus and Mar- garet. Young Henry accompanied his father on his removal to this county and has since remained here. After reaching manhood he married November 20, 1859, Miss Sarah A. Nave, daughter of Jesse Nave, who was the founder of Spring Hill. Mrs. H. was born Au- gust 13, 1838, her brothers and sisters being Nancy E., now Mrs. James Pepper ; Mary J., George B., Jesse D., Margaret P. J., now Mrs. William Sterling, and James, who is deceased. Jesse Nave built the first house in the town of Spring Hill and was the first to bring goods into the place. He is well remembered as the original merchant of that town. Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson number 10 chil- dren in their family : Mary S., born October 16, 1860, wife of F. P. Bane ; William H., born December 5, 1861; George D., born Feb- ruary 23, 1863 ; Belle, born July 29, 1864; Sarah E., born Septem- ber 14, 1867; Mina E., born February 28, 1868; James S., born May 15, 1870 ; Ollie B., born March 7, 1873 ; Jesse C., born Decem- ber 6, 1875, and Charles B., born September 19, 1878.

THOMAS LITTON

(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 6, Post-office, Lock Spring.)

The biographies of men whose wealth or position has been inherited from generation to generation afford but little encouragement to the youth of the present day ; but the life-work of men who have carved their way up from humble and almost obscure positions to places of substantial esteem, is sufficient to stimulate the energies of these same young men. Thomas Litton is perhaps not what the world would call wealthy, but he has gained for himself a comfortable competency and, better than all, the respect of a large circle of friends. He owns an estate of 300 acres, with complete and necessary improvements. Mr. Litton was born in Whitley county, Ky., March 25, 1822, the second son and fourth child of eight children born to Hiram and Elizabeth Litton, née Cox, the former a native of Virginia and the latter a Kentuckian by birth. Hiram Litton continued to farm in Kentucky after his marriage up to the time of his death. Thomas' mother died when he was six years old. He grew up in Kentucky until the age of 15, then came to Cole county, Mo., and after living there two years removed to this county, where he has since made his home, occupied persistently in farming and merchandising. He now owns a dry goods store at Lock Springs, in Daviess county, besides having other property, elsewhere referred to. July 29, 1841, Mr. Litton was married to Miss Mary Ann Brookshire of this State, who died February 18, 1847, leaving three children: George W., Eliza- beth, wife of Lorenzo D. Smith, and Mary Ann, who married Abra- ham McClure. October 7, 1863, Mr. L. was again married, Susan M. Barnes becoming his wife. Her birth occurred in Grayson county, Ky. They have seven children : Eliza, now Mrs. A. Moore ; Alexan- der, John Speed, Cynthia, Frances, who married John Huston ;

Thomas and Sarah Ann. Besides these Emaline, Angeline, Hiram and Nancy C. are deceased.

REUBEN MANSFIELD

(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 17, Post-office, Lock Springs).

The agricultural interests of Sampsel township are ably represented by the subject of this sketch, a man whose entire life has been passed in the calling which now receives his attention. He is a native of the county and consequently has an extended acquaintance in the com- munity. Born September 7, 1843, he was the son of John Mansfield, a native of Indiana, who came to Missouri and settled in Livingston county in 1839. By occupation he was a miller. His wife was Mrs.

Susan McCoskrie, whose maiden name was Rockhold. She came origin- ally from White county, Tenn., and located in Clay county, Mo., in 1823, where, in 1826, she was united in marriage with Levi McCoskrie. They subsequently removed to Ray county and after a five years' residence there came to Livingston, where Mr. McCoskrie died, leav- ing five children : Emaline, John, Isaac, Martha and Levy. As stated above she afterwards became the wife of Mr. Mansfield, and to them were born two children, Reuben and Sarelda A., the latter of whom died in 1855. John Mansfield was a gallant soldier in the Mexican War, laying down his life in that struggle; at the battle of Taos he was killed by an arrow shot by an Indian. Mrs. Mansfield remained a widow until her marriage to Andrew Ewen. Reuben Mansfield was brought up and educated in this county and has become thoroughly conversant with the duties of agricultural life. He owns 490 acres of well improved land, improved in a manner which indicates the successful and progressive, tiller of the soil, and he gives no little attention to the stock industry. May 8, 1862, he married Mary Jane Ewen, whose birth occurred in Illinois May 3, 1845. It was in 1846 that she accompanied her parents to this county. Mr. and Mrs. Mansfield have seven children living : Margaret S., born February 11, 1863 ; Ida E., born February 28, 1868 ; James, born October 25, 1871 ; Oliver, born August 11, 1875 ; Reuben, born February 5, 1877 ; Julian, born March 10, 1879, and Missouri, born February 8, 1881. Three are deceased, John A., Levi M. and Addison A. Mr. M. is a member of the Masonic Order and of the M. E. Church South.

WILLIAM E. MINNICK

(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 19, Post-office, Sampsel).

Comparatively a young man, still less than 39 years of age, Mr. Minnick has attained to a place among the agriculturists of this vicinity that is most creditable to him, and shows without doubt that he is thoroughly acquainted with every detail of farm labor. This was the occupation to which he was reared. Henry H. Minnick, his father, was born in Washington county, Va., September 2, 1814, and died May 30, 1863 ; Miss Matilda Cubine was the maiden name of William's

1037

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

mother, and she, too, was a Virginian by birth, born in 1839, her death occurring October 8, 1869. In 1834 the parents removed from the Old Dominion to Livingston county, Mo., and here the father was actively engaged in tilling the soil until his death. He was a man of sterling integrity and a warm friend and desirable neighbor, one who had the esteem of all who were favored with his acquaintance. Seven children were in the family of himself and wife : Thomas J., William E. and Leander J. are the only ones now living. One son, James P. Minnick, enlisted during the war in the Confederate army under Col. Slack, and was killed at Wilson's Creek August 10, 1861. William E. first saw the light in this county December 16, 1847. As has been intimated, he grew to manhood on the old homestead and from an early period has devoted his time to the pursuits of agriculture, in company with his brothers, Thomas and Leander. Together they now own 600 acres of land, their combined efforts in the management of this place resulting in unusual success. Everything about the place indicates prosperity and industry and they indeed deserve all the good fortune which has befallen them. Mr. William Minnick is un- married.

JAMES W. PEERY

(Farmer, Section 5, Post-office, Sampsel).

Mr. Peery is of Virginia parentage, his father, Robert Peery, and also his mother, whose maiden name was Margaret McFarlane, hav- ing been born in the Old Dominion, the former in 1783, in Tazewell county. His occupation during life was that of an agriculturist. In 1838 he came to Missouri and was one of its first settlers of Grundy county, afterwards becoming one of its most prominent and highly respected citizens. Among other positions which he occupied was that of county judge, and it was at his suggestion that the county of Grundy received the name which it has always borne. He died De- cember 25, 1849. To himself and wife a family of twelve children had been given. Of these Ann married Thomas Carnes ; Mildred be- came the wife of Judge A. Thompson, of Grundy county, and James and Fielding are living, the others being deceased. Their names were Eliza, Sarah, John, Robert, Walter, Elizabeth, Caroline and Do- rinda. James W. Peery, the subject of this sketch, was born in Lee county, Va., October 19, 1829. On March 22, 1853, he was married to a Miss Ligett, whose father was Andrew Ligett. She was born in Ray county, Mo., April 7, 1834. In March, 1854, Mr. Peery and his wife came to this county and here they have since remained. His farm contains 61 acres, and he is giving his attention to its cultivation in a manner which has thus far proven to be of substantial success. During the war Mr. P. served for some time, but was honorably discharged in 1865. Himself and wife have five children living: Emma, born October 15, 1855, now Mrs. George Beppers ; Maggie L., born November 7, 1857, wife of A. Henderson ; Sarah E., born November 7, 1859 ; An- drew B., born January 20, 1865, and William R., born June 24,

1872. One child, born March 20, 1862, died in March, 1865. Mr. Peery belongs to Spring Hill Lodge No. 155, A. F. and A. M.

GEORGE F. RENSCHLER

(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 15, Post-office, Sampsel).

Perhaps the most exciting and thrilling period of the life of Mr. Renschler was during his career as a soldier, and the brief account here given of his service in the army will convey something of an idea of what was undergone by him. He is of German birth and descent, having been born in Germany May 15, 1842, the son of Bernard Renschler, a farmer of that country. He was there married, his wife still being a resident of that locality. He died in 1858. George F., the only child of the family now living, grew up in the country of his nativity and became familiar with the trade of shoemaking. In 1859 he emigrated to the United States and in 1861 enlisted in Co. I, 6th Pennsylvania volunteer regiment, serving in all for three years and eight months. Among the engagements in which he took part were those of Dranesville, Bull Run, White Oak, Fredericksburg, Gettys- burg and several of minor importance ; and after re-enlisting Decem- ber 25, 1863, he followed the Wilderness campaign and participated in the struggles connected therewith. He was wounded in the second Bull Run fight, subsequently went to Spottsylvania, thence to Cold Harbor, and finally to Petersburg, where he remained until August 19, then being taken a prisoner. After being confined at Bell Island, Salisbury, etc., for six and a half months he was paroled March 2, 1865, upon a 30 days' furlough, but being taken sick he could not report until June 6, following. Six days later he was houorably dis- charged. Mr. Renschler now returned to Pennsylvania and in August, 1865, he went to Madison county, Ill., where on the 6th inst. he mar- ried Miss Lottie A. Hannah. Going back to Pennsylvania he remained there until coming to this county, which has since been his home. His farm embraces 120 acres of land, well improved, and which is being cultivated to advantage. Himself and wife have 10 children : Sarah T., born October 26, 1867 ; Mary E., born July 23, 1870 ; John H., born November 13, 1871; Emma M., born August 1, 1873 ; Guy Lester, born March 11, 1877 ; Pearl E., born Decem- ber 24, 1878 ; Ledith E., born August 26, 1881, died February 25, 1886 ; Tully D., born September 7, 1883; Arthur L., born March 27, 1885, and Willie F., born April 6, 1875, died September 29, 1876.

WILLIAM SHUMATE

[(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 9, Post-office, Sampsel).

The farm which Mr. Shumate now owns and conducts in such an enterprising, industrious manner embraces 168 acres of land, forming one of the neat, comfortable homesteads of this township. The improvements upon it are convenient and complete, and such as are necessary. He is a Virginian by birth, having been born September

1039

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

19, 1824, in Giles county, of the Old Dominion. His grandparents on his father's side were originally from England - Hardin and Milly Shumate, and one of their children was Hardin, Jr., who, after his birth in Virginia and upon reaching manhood, married Miss Elizabeth Leach, of the same State. Mr. S. followed farming with very fair success, and continued to live in comfort with his wife until their deaths, at the ages respectively, of 93 and 90 years. Heaven had blessed their union with 11 children : Jane, now Mrs. Joseph Carper ; Cynthia, now Mrs. Madison Dunn; Daniel, Kendley, are living ; and Edmund, Hardin, Hester, wife of David Martin, and Susan, wife of Lorenzo D. Martin, are all dead; George W., Elizabeth (deceased ) and William. With the exception of Daniel, who is a resident of Har- rison county, Mo., and William, all those who survive live in their native State. The subject of this sketch in growing up was not favored with very liberal facilities for acquiring an education, though the opportunities which he did enjoy were improved to the best advantage. His spare moments were passed in attending to duties about the home farm, and this occupation he has always followed. May 15, 1850, he was married to Miss Martha S. Hale, daughter of Daniel Hale, Esq., of Giles county, Va., a representative citizen of that locality, who for a number of years represented his county in the State Legislature. He was also sheriff of the county. Mrs. S. was born February 29, 1832 ; she had three brothers in the Con- federate army, one of whom was wounded at Petersburg, and the others were in military prison at the close of the war. Mr. Shumate and wife have 11 children : William H., born February 20, 1851; Edmund L., born October 21, 1852; Sarah E., born August 9, 1854, married Samuel Cooper, and died February 15, 1878 ; Mary J., born November 29, 1856, now Mrs. America Morgan, of this county ; Cynthia A., born January 17, 1859, died November 22, 1860 ; Daniel H., born April 23, 1861; Emma, born February 24, 1864 ; Laura D., born April 13, 1866 ; Walter, born July 15, 1869 ; Susie, born October 12, 1871, and Pauline, born May 19, 1874.
