BIOGRAPHICAL.
ANDREW BAKER
(Retired Minister and Farmer).
Rev. Andrew Baker, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Caldwell county, and a man who for many years was closely identified with the advancement and growth of Christianity in this community as an active, earnest minister of the gospel, and who is now retired from the ministry on account of the infirmities of old age, is one of the honored pioneers of this portion of Missouri. A Virginian by birth, he was born in Washington county of the Old Dominion, July 25, 1797, and is therefore in his eighty-ninth year. He is one of a family of 8 children born to Henry and Mercy (Tilson ) Baker, the former a native of Ashe county, N. C., but the latter originally from Virginia. The father of the former, and the grand- father of the subject of this sketch, Andrew Baker, was born in North Carolina, and during the Revolutionary War served his country as captain and also chaplain. He was a man of remarkable energy and bravery, gentle and kind to all, and did much for his church, family and the community in which he resided. He was long identified with the Baptist Church as a preacher. Henry Baker died in the county of Washington, Va., in his thirty-third year, leaving besides his widow a family of 8 children in limited circumstances. As the second child in the family much of the responsibility of caring and providing for those younger than himself fell upon Andrew ; but right nobly did he discharge the duties so unfortunately thrust upon him, and not a murmur escaped him during this labor of love. His educational opportunities were very meager, but in subsequent life, by self-appli- cation and close attention to books, he acquired no mean knowledge of the higher branches. January 5, 1817, he was united in marriage with Miss Nancy Bryant, who was born in the same county as himself in 1794. In 1822 Mr. Baker removed from there to Monroe county, Tenn., where he resided until 1828, then going to Wayne county, Ind. Until 1860 he made his home in Wayne, Rush and Ripley counties, that State, in that year becoming a resident of Caldwell county, Mo. While living in Virginia, he united with the Baptist Church, and in 1837 was ordained as a minister of that denomination at Versailles, Ind. He at once entered actively upon the discharge of his ministe- rial labors, and for years no man toiled harder to preach Christ than he. In giving himself wholly to the work his farm was tilled by other hands and now he has a homestead of 400 acres in this township, which is being kept in excellent cultivation. Mr. Baker's first marriage resulted in 10 children: Henry, Mercy, Thomas, Eliza, James, Willfree, Caroline, Sarah, Alexander and Virginia. Mrs.

Baker departed this life November 2, 1861. He afterwards took to wife Miss Diana Bateman, March 27, 1864; she was born in Jackson county, Va., December 11, 1830, and to them two children have been born, Harriet A. and Grace T. A Democrat up to 1860, Mr. Baker has since voted with the Republican party. This venerable man of God has never had cast upon him any reflections as to his conduct in life. Warm-hearted and courteous to every one with whom he meets, no person leaves his presence without feeling that they have been in communion with a truly good man.
MRS. MARY S. BROUSE (Post-office, Hamilton).
Mrs. Brouse, the daughter of Cyrus and Lucretia ( Strong) Bout- well, was born in Jefferson county, N. Y., June 5, 1832. Her father was a native of Vermont and her mother of Massachusetts, but their marriage occurred in Jefferson county, N. Y., the parents of each having removed there in a very early day. To Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Boutwell were born four children, one son and three daughters, who all grew to maturity. The son served as a soldier in the Civil War, and for several months was held as a prisoner at Belle Island and Libby prisons ; however, he subsequently made his escape, and after enduring many hardships, privations and dangers, reached the Union lines in Tennessee, being a fugitive for three weeks. Mr. Boutwell was a stone and brick-mason by trade, and he and his wife always made their home in Jefferson county, where they were recognized as people of the highest respectability. He died in 1878, his wife hav- ing preceded him in 1860. Mary S. Boutwell continued to live at home until her marriage, January 30, 1853, to Justus M. Boutwell, whose birth occurred in Jefferson county, N. Y., January 10, 1833. After the consummation of this event Mr. and Mrs. B. moved to St. Lawrence county, N. Y., where they resided until 1869, then taking up their location in Caldwell county, Mo., and in this township. Here he purchased 120 acres of land, commenced at once its improve- ment, and before long had it in a good state of cultivation. He made farming his occupation during life and was a hard-working, law-abid- ing citizen, enjoying to an unlimited extent the confidence of all who knew him. In politics he was a Republican, and in his religious preferences a Presbyterian. He died March 24, 1874, leaving two sons: Walter I., born November 11, 1853, in Jefferson county, N. Y ., and Renben W., born in St. Lawrence county May 15, 1857. Mrs. Bontwell was again united in marriage August 15, 1875, Mr. Abra- ham Bronse becoming her husband. He was born in County Dundas, Canada East, December 17, 1827, and remained there and in St. Lawrence county, N. Y., until 1870, then moving to Breckinridge, Caldwell county, Mo. Since then he followed both merchandising and farming with substantial results. After Mr. Boutwell's death his widow (Mrs. Brouse ) administered upon the estate. She is a lady of good judgment and excellent executive ability, and possesses personal qualities of a high order.

HISTORY OF CALDWELL COUNTY.
JACOB CARROLL
(Farmer and Stock-raiser).
Since being brought to Caldwell county, Mo., by his parents in 1855 Mr. Carroll has continued to reside upon the old family home- stead, a place of 230 acres, upon which he raises a good grade of stock, endeavoring as best he can to improve and advance the stock interests of this county. In his farming operations he combines the practical with the theoretical, his life-long continuance in that calling rendering him fully capable of doing so. Mr. Carroll has been three times married, and he now has an excellent family of eleven children. His first marriage was November 11, 1860, when Miss Paulina J. Hatfield, of Tennessee, became his wife. She was born September 11, 1838, and died April 14, 1869, leaving four children : Elmer E., Mary C., Joseph D. and Margaret E. Miss Sarah J. Hatfield became his second wife in 1869; she was also a Tennesseean by birth, born March 19, 1844, and her death transpired January 4, 1881. By this union there were five children, viz. ; William L., Cyrus D., Lucy, Irene and an infant. November 9, 1881, Mr. Carroll was united in marriage with Miss Mary J. Bashford, who was born in Noble county, Ind., February 5, 1852. Two children have been born to them, Albert L. and Kit. Mr. C. is of Irish ancestry on his father's side, his father, Daniel Carroll, having been a native of County Cavan, Ireland, while his mother came originally from Claiborne county, Tenn. The former was left an orphan when 14 years of age, and not having any family ties to keep him on that side of the waters, he emigrated to the United States, and about 1838 took up his residence in Brown county, Ill., where he was married August 11, 1839, to Miss Catherine Long. His family numbered five children, Margaret, Mary, Jacob and two that died in infancy. After following farming in that county until 1855, Mr. Carroll came to this county, and ever afterwards made his home in New York township. He was an industrious, hard-working man and accumulated considerable property. Before the war he was a Democrat politically, but after that a Republican. He died April 5, 1881, sincerely mourned by a host of friends: His widow survives him and lives upon the homestead. Jacob Carroll was born in Brown county, Ill., May 24, 1841. He is rapidly attaining to no light reputation for his thorough manner of farming, and well deserves his success. He has been holding the position of justice of the peace for ten years, with great credit. Formerly a Republican, he is now a Greenbacker in his political preferences.
EDGAR A. CLARK
(Farmer and Merchant, Post-office, Easterville) .
It was in 1869 that Mr. Clark, then an unmarried man, came to Caldwell county, but since that time he has resided here and has been prominently identified with the interests of this section of the county.

HISTORY OF CALDWELL COUNTY.
How now owns 70 acres of land, and in connection with his farming operations is engaged to some extent in merchandising, with quite satis- factory results. He has held a number of official positions, in all of which he has acquitted himself ereditably, and besides serving as township clerk he is now postmaster at Easterville. It was on March 18, 1870, that he was married, Miss Sarah L. Michaels becoming his wife. She was a native of West Virginia, born September 27, 1847, and they now have a family of five children : Alice V., Matie E., Nellie W., Hattie J. and Grover C. Mr. Clark came originally from Dearborn county, Ind., where he was born August 13, 1843, a son of Stephen M. and Caroline T. Clark, nee Runnells. The father was a Rhode Islander by birth, and the mother a native of Indiana, both families having been early settlers in the latter State. In 1844 the family removed to Bureau county, Ill., where they ever afterward resided, engaged in agricultural pursuits. Their family numbered eight children. Both the Clarks and the Runnells are of English descent and came to America in early colonial times. They were possessors of those sterling qualities and noble attributes that are characteristic of the New England race. Rev. William Runnells, a celebrated divine of the M. E. Church, was chaplain of the lower House of Congress during President Filmore's administration. Stephen M. Clark for a number of years ran the Ohio river as a boatman. He died on his farm in Illinois in 1874, his wife having preceded him to the grave in 1863. During his lifetime he held many offices of trust and honor, and had the respect of all who knew him. Edgar was fortunate enough to receive a good academie education in youth, and after leaving school he commenced teaching, which he con- tinued during the winter months for several years. In the summer months he was engaged in farming. His political views side with the Democratic party, but in local politics he makes it a rule to support men and not party. He takes especial interest in the educational affairs of the county, and, indeed, is one of the best posted men on general topics that there is in this community.
BERRY DIDDLE (DECEASED) (Late of the Vicinity of Easterville).
For over quarter of a century the name that heads this sketch was borne by a man who was identified with the interests of Caldwell county in more ways than one. Honest and worthy in every par- ticular, his life was one of great industry, far above the average, spent in striving, as a good man, to bring up his family in a credit- able way, and to leave a record of his career which would cause no blush of shame to mantle the face of those near and dear to him at the mention of his name. Berry Diddle was born in Augusta county, Va., April 17, 1816, and died in Caldwell county, Mo., August 7, 1882. His parents were John and Charity Diddle, Virginians by birth, and members of the family arc remembered as having taken part in the wars with the mother country. Berry Diddle was reared

on a farm, but his educational facilities were extremely limited .. He married Miss Sarah Offlighter March 20, 1843, her birth having occurred in Nelson county, Va., September 17, 1825. After this event they continued to make their home in Augusta county about six years, then removing to Western Virginia. In 1855, in company with Job Michael, Mr. Diddle came to Ray county, Mo., and in the spring of 1856 the latter settled on seetion 27, of New York township, Caldwell county, where he had purchased 160 acres of land. Having paid for his place and made some improvements his means were quite,. or almost, exhausted : but he and his wife were possessed of great fortitude, indomitable energy and will, and these characteristics, combined with economy and perseverance, soon secured for them a comfortable home. To this original traet more land was added from time to time until it comprised about a section of land. Mr. Diddle was one of the hardest working men in the neighborhood in which he resided, but in the midst of it all he had a kind heart and was ever ready to do what he could, not only for his family, to whom he was a most devoted husband and father, but to humanity in gen- eral. He was a stanch Union man during the war, and for some time served in the State militia. He left at his death a family of eight children: Elizabeth J., Charity E., Cynthia A., John T., James W., Albert W., Benjamin F. and Bruce N. Mrs. Diddle is a lady of great force of character, and one worthy to have occupied the place she held by the side of her husband during their happy married. life. She is now living upon the old homestead.
SOLOMON, AMOS AND HAYWOOD EDWARDS (Farmers and Stock-raisers).
The names which head this sketch are those of three brothers, men well and favorably known among the people of this county, and especially of New York township. They are worthy representatives of a family which early became identified with the material develop- ment and progress of this county, and their memory is cherished with fond remembrance by those who recall the pioneer settlement of this community. The Edwards family are originally of English descent, members of which came to the colony of Virginia many years prior to the War of the Revolution, and not a few of them participated in! that long and terrible struggle for Independence, on the side of the American army. One of these, Isaac by name, was the great-grand- father of the Edwards brothers who now make their home within the borders of Caldwell county. His (Isaac's ) son was Anual Edwards, the father of Isaac B. Edwards, and the latter in turn became the father of the subjects of this memoir. Anual Edwards was a gallant soldier in the War of 1812 ; he was long interested in farming in Vir- ginia and reared a large family of children, of whom Isaac B. was born in Carroll county, Va. He also grew to manhood upon a farm, after which he was married to Miss Nancy Moore, of Grayson county, the same State. Heaven blessed this union with the following chil-

dren: Celia, Solomon, Amos, Haywood, Rosamond, Ollie, Matilda and Ruth J. After his marriage Mr. Edwards continued to live in Carroll county, Va., until 1849, when he removed with his family to Caldwell county, settling in New York township (then Grand River township). He immediately resumed his farming interests and from that time until his death was actively and energetically engaged in tilling the soil. As a hunter he was very successful and many pleasant hours were passed in the pursuit of game on the mountains of Virginia or the prairies of Missouri. Kind-hearted, generous and hospitable to all with whom he came in contact, he made friends wherever he went, and to the last enjoyed the respect and confidence and esteem of all who were favored with his acquaintance. Politically he was a Democrat, and his religious preferences led him to become a member of the Christian Church. He died January 15, 1874, after a con- tinuous residence in the State for 25 years, though for one year when a young man he had lived in Lafayette county.
Edward Moore, the maternal great-grandfather of the Edwards boys, was a North Carolinian by birth, and his ancestors for many years had been natives of that State. His son, George Moore, when a young man took up his residence in Grayson county, Va., where he met and married Nancy Hanks, they subsequently rearing a family of 11 chil- dren. Mr. Moore served his country in the War of 1812.
Solomon Edwards, one of the brothers referred to before, was born in Carroll county, Va., July 16, 1838. From his earliest boyhood his career has been characterized by hard work, for he was brought up as a farmer, obtaining such an education as could be acquired in the common schools ; and soon after reaching his majority he started out in life on his own account. Farming received his attention for two years, and later he drove a team, finally freighting across the plains for four years, a portion of the time having charge of a train. In 1866 he returned home and commenced the improvement of the farm which he now occupies, having purchased it while away. Mr. Edwards was married January 28, 1868, to Miss Zerilda A. Hale a native of Daviess county, Mo., born December 23, 1845. Her parents were Mortimer B. and Nancy J. ( Bowers ) Hale, the latter of whom went to Daviess county about the year 1838, but the father did not settle there until after his marriage, which was in August, 1843. They still reside in that county and are among its oldest and best known citizens. Mr. Edwards now owns a farm of 140 acres, quite well improved, and upon it he is engaged in raising a good grade of all kinds of stock. He is accounted to be one of the practical and thorough farmers and stock-raisers of the township. Brought up a Democrat, he was until about eight years ago ever ready to cast his vote in the interest of that party, but since that time he has been found within the ranks of the Greenback party. He has held the positions of township clerk and trustee. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards have five children : Granville D., Celia E., Mitchell M., Benjamin D. M. and Laura E. Mr. E. is a member of the Christian Church.
457
HISTORY OF CALDWELL COUNTY.
Amos Edwards, the second son in his father's family of children, was born January 4, 1841, and like his brother is a native of Carroll county, Va. He, too, was reared to a farm experience, and during the late war he was engaged in driving a Government team, carrying supplies, etc., from Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., to Ft. Union, N. M., and also served in the militia of the State, the latter part of the summer and fall of 1864. He also made other trips, besides those mentioned, but with these exceptions has continued to look upon Caldwell county as his permanent home. He is one of the most progressive and suc- cessful agriculturists in this portion of the county and, what is better than anything else, he can feel that his entire possessions have been acquired only by his own efforts. He has 320 acres of cultivated land and has paid considerable attention to raising and improving superior grades of live stock; he now owns some valuable Durham cattle. March 28, 1865, Miss Polly A. Hawks became his wife. Born in this county, she was the daughter of William Hawks, an early settler here. Her death occurred March 29, 1876, and she left eight children : Sarah M., Rosa E., Hannah M., Mary S., Louisa A., Nancy P., Georgia A. and an infant, deceased. Mr. E.'s second wife was Mrs. Mary J. Mccollum, whom he married March 27, 1877. She had pre- viously been married to William MeCollum, and her maiden name was Clark. By this last union there is one child, Polly A. Though for- merly of Democratic proclivities, Mr. Edwards is now a Greenbacker. He is likewise connected with the Christian Church.
Haywood Edwards, the youngest of the three brothers mentioned in this biography, has had much in common with his two brothers just re- ferred to. His birthplace was also Carroll county, the date of his en- trance into this world being November 27, 1842. In the spring of 1864, he went West and passed two and a half years in the mines of Idaho with most satisfactory success. He then returned home and for three years followed farming on the old home place. He was united in marriage January 4, 1870, with Miss Elizabeth J. Diddle, daughter of Berry Diddle, a well known citizen of this county. She was born May 12, 1846, in Augusta county, Va. Their three children are named Sarah H., Aaron B. and Celia V. Mr. Edwards owns a good farm of 208 acres. He has, like his brothers, voted the Greenback ticket for some years past, and is also a member of the Christian Church.
These brothers, an outline of whose lives are here briefly sketched, are prominent in all religious and educational enterprises, and in fact all things that will build up the country or benefit their fellow-man. The respect shown them is as wide as their acquaintance.
CHARLES L. GOULD
(Farmer, Stock-raiser and Horticulturist, Section 23, Post-office, Gould Farm).
Within the limits of Caldwell county there is not a man of greater per- sonal popularity than Charles L. Gould, a man of recognized worth and substantial, progressive spirit. Of English extraction, he is descended from an old and influential New England family, his grandfather, Judge

HISTORY OF CALDWELL COUNTY.
William Gould, having in early life emigrated from New Hampshire to the wilderness of Western New York. There he reared his family and became well and favorably known. He was a fearless advocate of principles which he esteemed right, including the abolition of Ameri- can slavery, temperance and immersion as the only correct mode of baptism, all of which at that day were unpopular with the masses. He assisted with his means in establishing the National Era, the first anti-slavery paper published at Washington, D. C., and liberally con- tributed to all worthy objects. His son, D. A. Gould, was born in Chautauqua county, N. Y., and upon going to the sparsely settled region of Northwestern Pennsylvania, cleared a farm in Erie county, where he subsequently married Miss Minerva W. Read. To them were born seven children. D. A. Gould inherited to a marked degree the strong, fearless characteristics which so distinguished the career of his worthy father. He held many important positions, was twice elected to represent his county in the State Legislature, and to his joy lived to see the country free from the blot of slavery. For 40 years he was a deacon in the Baptist church and in every way a philanthropic, Christian citizen. Three of his sons were in the Union army during the war. William P., now a resident of Hartford, Kan., responded to Lincoln's first call, and after serving three months re-enlisted and took active part in nearly all of the battles of the Army of the Potomac up to the time Gen. Hooker was sent to Tennessee. He was with Sherman from Lookout Mountain to Atlanta, where he was wounded, and later as assistant commissary of subsistence, having been promoted from private to first lieutenant. Daniel, another son, was mortally wounded at the battle of Perryville, Ky., his death occurring within six weeks after his enlistment. The youngest of the family, his out- look for the future was most promising, and his loss was widely mourned. Charles L. Gould, the subject of this sketch, owes his nativity to West Springfield, Erie county, Pa., where he was born July 12, 1826. In early life he attended school in a log building and subsequently entered an academy at Kingsville, O., where he made such rapid progress that at the age of 17 he began teaching. From that time on until the age of 23 he taught school during the winter seasons and attended the academy and worked upon the home farm in the summer months, in this manner obtaining a good practical educa- tion. Going to Wisconsin with a view of locating there, he remained but a short time, then returning and resuming teaching. April 28, 1850, he was united in marriage at Attica, N. Y., with Miss Eliza P., daughter of Capt. Joshua Fuller, a soldier of the War of 1812. A short time following this Mr. Gould and wife moved to Sheboygan Falls, Wis., purchased and cleared a heavily timbered tract of land, and there two sons and three daughters were born to them : Albert A., now at Gould Farm, Mo .; Willie P., of Cerrilos, Santa Fe county, N. M. ; Ellen G., wife of Thomas Campbell, a merchant of Hartford, Kan. ; Marcella G., now Mrs. Dr. Thomas Henkins, of Bur- lington, Kan., and Louisa G., wife of William Pearse, a farmer of
