JAMES C. MINTEER
(Ex-County Treasurer, Chillicothe).
Were one to ask the leading characteristics of Mr. Minteer as a man, the answer would come almost involuntary that he is a safe, cautious person, unpretending, but well informed, universally esteemed and of unswerving integrity - a man who has been tried but not found want- ing and one capable of discharging his official and private duties with competency. James C. Minteer was born in Harrison county, Ky., March 13, 1833, the son of William Minteer, of Pennsylvania nativ- ity, who moved to the Blue Grass State when quite young. He was a shoemaker by trade and continued to make his home in his adopted State until his death in 1848. The mother's maiden name was Sarah Davis, a Kentuckian by birth. Of their family of children, 9 grew to maturity, and of these James was the third son and child. As he grew up in the State of his birth, he acquired a mercantile experi- ence, following that business with perseverance and assiduity until coming to Monroe county, Mo., in 1856. In 1857 he left there to locate in Livingston county (in March ) and here he was occupied in merchandising up to 1872. In the fall of that year in response to the urgent requests of his many friends, he was induced to make the race for county treasurer and collector, and such was his personal popular- ity and recognized fitness for the position that he was elected at the. next general election, and for four succeeding terms was re-elected by increased majorities - a compliment which needs no empty words of comment. In 1880 he made the run in convention for State treas- urer on the Democratic ticket, but although receiving a handsome vote he was defeated, and again in 1884, also. June 24, 1860, Mr. Minteer was united in marriage with Miss Ellen F. Jones, whose birth occurred in Cumberland county, Ky. Her father, Thomas E. Jones, is an agriculturist of prominence. Five children have blessed the union of Mr. and Mrs. Minteer: Thomas S., James C., Charles H., Julia J. and Harry W.
JOHN WILLIAM MINTEER
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Chillicothe).
Mr. Minteer's parents were William and Sarah Minteer, nee Davis , the former a son of William Minteer (of Pennsylvania ), the father of his wife being Solomon Davis, of Kentucky. William Minteer was born February 25, 1803, and Mrs. M., February 10, 1807. He con- tinued to live in his native State, Pennsylvania, until 18 years old, then moved to Lexington, Ky , remained three or four years, and upon going to Harrison county he was married at the age of 21 years. Nine children constituted their family : Matthew, born September 21, 1827, died in 1874 ; John W., born in Harrison county, Ky., October 14, 1830; James C., born March 13, 1833; Mary E., born July 9,

1835, and now deceased ; Sarah J., born November 10, 1837 ; Joseph C., born August 20, 1840 ; Julia F., born June 21, 1843, died in August, 1866; Naomi C., born October 15, 1845, and Lottie, born January 14, 1848. The subject of this sketch lived with his parents until 27 years of age, being married October 14, 1854, to Miss Sarah F. Carter. March 28, 1857, he became located in this county and has since made this locality his home, his connection with the agricultural affairs of the community having resulted most profitably to himself as well as to others. Mrs. Minteer's father, Richie Carter, was born in Richmond, Va., in 1790, and died in 1865 in Harrison county, Ky. Her mother, formerly Mildred Whitten, died in the same county Feb- ruary 20, 1863. Sarah F. was the sixth child and second daughter in their family, the others being Richie, who died in Florida while in the United States service ; Griffin, died in 1854 ; Elizabeth, of Lexington ; John W. and Lucinda, of Harrison county, Ky .; George, died in 1874. May 28, 1864, Mr. M. left Chillicothe for Montana, remaining there until 1865 and living in a mining camp during that time. On his return he went by team to Salt Lake and thence by stage to Denver, from whence he took passage with Keith & Cook bound for Nebraska. While making this trip Indians attacked the train and wounded one citizen. From Nebraska City he came by stage to St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Minteer owns an estate of 163 acres, land well adapted for the general purposes of farming. Himself and wife have four children : Cordelia, born June 4, 1855, died February 28, 1863 ; William, born August 11, 1860, died August 25, 1863; Mary Elizabeth, born May 6, 1862, wife of William Dougherty, whom she married in October, 1880, and Matthew, born September 16, 1865.
JOHN MORRIS
(Farmer and Breeder of Short-horn Cattle, Berkshire Swine and Cotswold and Merino Sheep, Post-office, Chillicothe).
If, as is self-evident, this work would be incomplete without sketches of the more. public-spirited of the successful agriculturists and stock men and substantial, well-to-do citizens of Livingston county, then the biography of the subject of this sketch justly finds a conspicuous place in the present volume. John Morris is foreign born, England being the place of his birth, and August 20, 1829, the date. His parents, Edward and Anna ( Bishop) Morris, also natives of England, emi- grated to the United States when John was quite young ; he had two brothers, one of whom, Albert, conducts a carriage factory at Piqua O., and Henry is engaged in the dairy business in Cincinnati, O. Edward Morris, after reaching this country, located upon a farm in Otsego county, N. Y., and subsequently became a drover, buying cat- tle throughout the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, and driving them to Philadelphia and New York. Previous to his last sickness that resulted in his death he went to New York with stock that sold for $50,000, but being taken ill he returned home and died in 1849 ; the commission man who had purchased the stock refused to turn over
1131
HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.
the proceeds to the rightful owners until an administrator was appointed, and when that was done he had left for parts unknown and the family never received a dollar. John Morris, a worthy represen- tative of him whose name he bears, early learned to assist his father in the duties about the home farm, and after the latter's demise he went to a place near Cincinnati, O., carrying on farming and stock operations in Hamilton county until purchase of his present excellent place in 1862. He subsequently stocked .this place and in 1865 took up his permanent residence in this county. He built a splendid dwelling soon after, but this was destroyed by fire in 1867 ; since then ' Mr. Morris has erected on his place one of the finest houses in the county, a model of convenience and comfort, as well as of architec- tural beauty. Perhaps no man in this community has done as much for the stock interests of this county as has Mr. M. Upon his place at this time he has 1,000 head of sheep, a flock of 100 Cotswold pure blooded, and 100 pure Merino, the rest being a cross. His 75 head of cattle are registered or eligible of registry and he also owns 25 head of a high grade. His drove of Berkshire swine are unsurpassed, and indeed it is hard to find anywhere better animals than are to be seen on this farm. He finds ready markets all over the country, including Colorado, Texas, Nebraska and the Territories. Mr. Morris' wife was formerly Miss Mary Rowe, of New York State, a daughter of James B. Rowe, an agriculturist by occupation, whom he married in June, 1849. Eight children have blessed the happy married life of this esti- mable couple, six of whom survive : Edward, Anna E .. wife of Charles McFarland, of Newton, Ia. ; John, Albert, Harry and Willie A. Mary Louisa and an infant daughter, Mattic, are deceased. Mr. Mor- ris owns 1,200 acres of land, the improvements of which are all that could be desired. Personally only less than a citizen and a neighbor he and his worthy wife are held in the highest respect of all who know them. To meet them once is to desire for a more extended acquaint- ance.
JOHN T. MOSS
(Real Estate and Loan Agent and Abstracter of Titles, Chillicothe).
Among the citizens of Livington county long and favorably identi- fied with its social and business life was the father of the subject of this sketch, Robert B. Moss, now deceased, but a man well remem- bered in this community. He was reared in Claiborne county, Tenn., where his birth occurred in 1806, and remained there until 1838. He was the son of Reuben Moss, originally from North Carolina and a farmer by occupation, who removed to Grundy county, Mo., in 1838, where he passed away about the year 1845. In 1836 Robert Moss was married to Miss Sarah Crockett, a Virginian by birth, two years after which he came with his wife to this county, here engaging in farming. He was an early settler of the county and became inti- mately connected with its affairs from first to last. For twenty-five years he was justice of the peace and also served with distinction as county judge. The new part of the town of Spring Hill was laid off

on his land. On his birthday June 6, 1872, he died, leaving 10 chil- dren : Margaret A., now Mrs. C. Lewis ; Sarah S., John T., Andrew C., James ( now deceased ), Mary F., wife of Dr. Burke; Marshall A., Martha F., William R. and Elizabeth L. Mrs. Moss survived until 1881.
John T. Moss is looked upon almost as one of the native born resi- dents of the county for he was but an infant when brought here, hav- ing been born in Grundy county, Mo., May 6, 1841. In this vicinity he was brought up, carly becoming acquainted with the details of agricultural life, and after obtaining a general education he read law and was subsequently admitted to the bar in 1874. Since that time he has devoted himself to the real estate and law business. He has a complete and reliable set of abstracts of lands in the county, and therefore it goes without saying that he has a substantial and lucrative business. By his unexceptional bearing as a citizen, his strict integrity and recognized qualifications, he became so well recommended that in 1865 he was elected to the office of county assessor, in which he served four years. He is very attentive to his duties and thoroughly reliable in every transaction in life and thus merits the confidence reposed in him. Mr. Moss' wife was formerly Miss Hesther Lowe, to whom he was married September 9, 1866. She came originally from Ohio to this county in infancy, her father being Luther Lowe. Mr. and Mrs. M. have two children : Edwin H. and Frederick L.
DAVID MUMPOWER
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office Chillicothe).
Situated three miles east of Chillicothe, on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, is to be found the excellent farm of Mr. Mumpower, which includes 264 acres, and here until recently he has actively been engaged in farming and stock raising. A native of Washington county, Va., he was born there June 2, 1815, made it his home until Septem- ber 13, 1841, and on November 13 following he landed in Clay county, Mo., near Hainesville, where he remained nine years, coming thence to this county March 20, 1850, and here he has since resided. In the family of his parents, Henry and Mary Magdalena Mumpower, were 14 children, all of whom were born in Washington county, Va. : - Peter married a daughter of Daniel Conley ; Rebecca married a son of the same; William married a daughter of Isaac Booher; John died after his marriage; Benjamin married a Miss Richards ; Catherine, wife of Jesse Ruse ; Jacob married a daughter of Joseph Grav ; Henry married įfirst a Mrs. Epperson, and afterwards a daughter of Daniel Conley ; Ann, wife of Fred. Booher; Samuel married a Miss Cloud ; Isaac, deceased, married a daughter of Isaac Booher ; George was married to a daughter of George Leon- ard, and Abraham, whose wife, a daughter of Fred. Booher, is now dead. David Mumpower was married in his native county April 8, 1841, to Miss Amanda F. Gray, the fourth child and second daughter of John R. and Sarah Gray. Of her brothers and sisters Lilburn,

STEPHEN B. MUMPOWER
(Farmer and Stock-raiser).
In the biography which immediately precedes this reference has already been made to the subject of this sketch, a man who shares largely in the esteem and respect of his honored father. He was born March 29, 1849, in Clay county, Mo., and very naturally entered at an early age into agricultural pursuits, and this calling he has since followed. Until the fall of 1876 he remained at home with his parents, but in that year he located two miles east of Chillicothe, and resided at that place up to 1883. Then he came to his present residence, three miles from town, where he has a farm of 120 acres, all under cultivation, in pasturage, etc. A small orchard and neat residence are upon the place, and in his operations he is meeting with substan- tial success. His marriage to Miss Sarah E. Kent, daughter of U. B. Kent, was consummated February 27, 1876, and to them two children have been born, Loula May, born June 12, 1878, and Effie Idell, born April 14, 1880. Mr. and Mrs. M. are members of the M. E. Church South, with which he became connected at the age of 16 years. In that denomination he has served as steward and class leader.
WILLIAM P. MUNRO
(Clerk of the Circuit Court, Chillicothe).
In his present position as clerk of the circuit court of this county Mr. Munro is proving himself to be efficient and popular, and the
1134
HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.
manner in which he has acquitted himself has justly won him the name of being possessed of more than ordinary business ability. He is a native born citizen of this county, his birth having occurred here April 15, 1844. His father, George Munro, who was born in Bourbon county, Ky., was the son of Daniel Munro, also of that county ; he was killed by the Indians in New Mexico, while engaged in the Santa Fe trade. William's mother, formerly Mary Morrin, also a Kentuckian by birth, was the daughter of John Morrin, of that State. George Munro was early brought to Missouri, his settlement in Howard county dating from 1812. His mother came to that county at the same time, so that his parents were reared together and subsequently married there, afterwards living a short time in Cooper county. In 1837 they came to Livingston county, and in Grand River township the father gave his attention to agricultural pursuits. In their family were six chil- dren : Susan married W. F. Peery ; Sarah became the wife of Ira Benson ; Eleanor married first John Wolfskill, and after his death, Rexford Wells ; Eliza married D. A. Creason ; Nannie married James Wright, and William P. is the subject of this sketch. As the time approached for him to be able to occupy himself he became acquainted with the duties of the home farm from time to time, in the meantime, however, attending the common schools. In 1875 he was made deputy circuit clerk and served for eight years. In 1882 he was elected to his present position, in which he has since remained. Mr. Munro was married February 21, 1882, to Miss Dora E. Winters, whose parents were Eben and Margaret Winters, the former of Mich- igan and the latter of Missouri nativity. Mrs. M. was born in Mercer county, Mo. They have two children, George E. and Maggie F. Mr. M. is a Knight Templar in the Masonic Order. June 23, 1885, he was appointed by Goy. Marmaduke one of the Commissioners of Insane Asylum No. 3, for Southwest Missouri. George Munro, re- ferred to above, was one of the most prominent and influential men who ever made his home in this county. He was the possessor of large landed estates and for three terms served in the State Legisla- ture, twice being elected without opposition and once with but slight competition.
ZIBE B. MYERS
(Chillicothe).
Among the worthy young men of Livingston county whose merits are such as to entitle them to representation in the present work, is Mr. Zibe B. Myers, the subject of this biographical notice. His con- nection with the interests of Chillicothe and surrounding country have contributed very materially to give him an extensive acquaintance, while his accommodating and agreeable manners have rendered him none the less popular. Then, too, the fact of his being a native of this place accords him a worthy place in the esteem of the citizens of the county. Zibe B. Myers was born October 9, 1860, and is the son of Jacob L. Myers, originally from West Virginia, and Carolina, nee Holcombe, whose native State was North Carolina. Twelve chil-

dren were in their family : Thornton Z., William E., Jacob S., James A., Edward L., Zibe B., Stonewall P., Lee Davis, Permelia D., An- drew J., and two now deceased, Lizzie and Charlie. Zibe, the seventh son, was brought up in this county as a farmer's boy, and in 1878 he commenced in his present business. He is now the transfer and bag- gage and express agent at this place and besides this gives considerable attention to selling fancy poultry, a business in which he has become well known. Among his stock are to be found Plymouth Rock and Light Brahama and Wyandotte and Lang Shans, besides which he keeps Toulouse geese. In season he sells eggs and small chickens. Mr. Myers has given this subject great attention and his careful efforts to secure the finest stock to be had, regardless of expense, have not been unsuccessful. By selling at reasonable prices he is conferring a favor upon those who desire to improve the quality of their fowls. October 5, 1882, Mr. Myer was united in marriage with a young lady of this county, Miss Luella Lile, though at the time a resident of Humiston, Ia. She is a person of many estimable qualities of mind and heart.
GEORGE B. NAVE
(Farmer, Section 21, Post-office, Chillicothe).
Mr. Nave on starting out in life for himself chose as his calling the pursuit of farming, and to this end he has since put forth all his ener- gies, and not without substantial results. The place which he now occupies is the old Hutchison homestead, an excellent tract of 240 acres, which he cultivates in a manner that could not fail of bringing favorable returns. He takes a native pride in all that he does, for this county has ever been his home, his birth occurring at Spring Hill Sep- tember 27, 1840. Jesse Nave, his father, was one of the earliest set- tlers in this community, his location in Livingston county dating from' 1836. He was a native of Tennessee. Opening a store at Spring Hill early in its history, he sold goods there for many years and figured prominently in the pioneer events of the county. In 1849 he went to California and died there in 1850. The maiden name of George's mother was Isabella Dixon, and she was also a Tennessean by birth. Seven children constituted their family : James, Nancy, who mar- ried James Pepper; Mary, Sarah, wife of Henry Hutchison ; George, Jesse, now in Oregon; and Isabella, wife of William Sterling. After reaching manhood and becoming well established in life George B. Nave was married to Miss Susannah Hutchison, November 14, 1867. She was a Kentuckian by nativity and the daughter of William and Mary ( Carpenter ) Hutchison; the former was born in the Blue Grass State April 10, 1806, and died April 4, 1855; his widow was also born in the same State July 29, 1808. Their marriage was consum- mated February 16, 1825, and the following children were given them : John J., of Harrison county, Mo. ; Sophia J., wife of Julius Dee; Henry, Elizabeth, now Mrs. Jackson Cook ; Susannah, Mrs. Nave, Amanda, who married Mr. V. Harper, and Polly A., wife of J. Dayton. Mrs. Hutchison is remarkably vigorous for one of her

age and is well preserved in years. Mr. Nave is highly thought of as a neighbor and citizen and thoroughly reciprocates the esteem which is accorded him.
CAPT. WILLIAM N. NORVILLE (Attorney at Law, Chillicothe.)
Capt. Norville is now numbered among the influential and esteemed residents of Chillicothe, and justly so, for all will admit that he is a man who can be depended upon, one who endeavors to do his duty in every-day affairs in life, attending to his duties in a manner not calcu- lated to attract unusual attention, but with a persistency and atten- tiveness that have redounded largely to his success both professionally and personally. His father, Lumon Norville, was a native of New York, and in early life came to Ohio, learning the trade of tanner, currier and shoemaker at Cleveland, where he made his home until his death in September, 1884. July 12, 1833, he was married to Eliza Oakes, originally from Hawley, Mass., and on July 12, 1883, they celebrated their golden wedding. Four children blessed their happy married life : William N., Amanda, now Mrs. Peter Dillon, Anson and Henry, who was a soldier in the Federal army during the war and died from disease contracted in the service. The first named was born near Cleveland, O., May 13, 1834, and he was reared at his birthplace until 15 years of age, assisting his father up to that time, and the ten succeeding years he passed in acquiring an education and teaching school, besides preparing himself for the practice of law. As his preceptors he had George Bliss and John Grannis, of Cleve- land, and in 1857 he was admitted to the bar. In 1858, going to Iowa, he made his home for a short time in Butler county, and in the spring of 1859 took a trip to Pike's Peak. But meeting with disappointment he returned to " the States " and in September of the same year settled at Chillicothe, where he was actively engaged in practicing until the outbreak of the war. Early in 1861, in response to his country's call for troops to suppress the invasion and stay the arm of secession that threatened the destruction of the Union, he raised the first company of soldiers in the county, Co. E, Merrill's Horse, and entered the service, in which he remained three years and eight months. During this period he occupied several impor- tant positions, having been judge advocate on the staff of Gen. John W. Davidson, and also filled a like position on the staff of Gen. Eu- gene Carr. On the staff of Maj .- Gen. E. S. Canby he served as in- spector of cavalry for Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas. Besides this he was made provost-marshal in the Palmyra district, then under the command of Brig .- Gen. Thos. J. McKean. In October, 1864, Mr. Norville, in answer to a general order, with other officers then on detached service, reported to Gen. Rosecrans, who placed him in command at Lexington, and at the time of Marmaduke's capture he was thus occupied. In February, 1865, Capt. Norville was hon- orably discharged and then returned to his home in Chillicothe,
1137

where he has continued to remain. Politically he has always been an active worker in the ranks of the Republican party, every cam- paign finding him a leading spirit in promoting the issues with which he is identified. In 1868 he was elected circuit attorney and held the office until January 1, 1873. In 1874 he was on the Republican ticket as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. In September, 1884, he was nominated by his party for Congress, but was defeated. May 2, 1866, the Captain led to the altar Miss Belle Drake, a native of Ohio, who has become the mother of eight children, four now living : Lottie, Josie, Frank and Oakes. Capt. N. is now past master of the Masonic lodge at this place, and also past post commander of the G. A. R. He is a worthy and consistent member of the Baptist Church.
