HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
Henry R. Parker, whose name introduces this sketch, was educated at the Storm school in Polk township. He has made farming the occupa- tion of his life. He now owns a part of the old Parker homestead and is one of the best farmers in Polk township.

He was born on the farm which he now owns, June 5, 1861, and is a son of William Wallace and Nancy A. (Branhan) Kennedy, natives of Kentucky. William Wallace Kennedy came from his native state to Cass County, Missouri, in 1856. He came up the river by steamboat as far as Lexington and from there made the trip to Cass County with an ox team. He first bought eighty acres of land from Wiley Scott. Later he purchased another eighty from Mr. Miller. He bought more land later and at the time of his death owned two hundred eighteen acres in Polk township. His first home in this county was a log cabin, which in due time was replaced by a more mod- ern and commodious residence. When the Kennedy family first settled here the nearest grist-mill was at Lonejack and was operated by Noah Hunt, the pioneer miller of Jackson County. "Ed" Kennedy remembers the old mill and how he often had to wait all day there to have a grist ground that he might bring the flour or meal home with him on his return trip. William Wallace Kennedy died at Pleasant Hill in 1905 and his wife departed this life in 1909.

ing and stock raising during his active career. In 1902 he sold his farm and removed to Belton where he spent the remainder of his life in retire- ment. He died in 1904, and his widow now resides at Freedom, Okla- homa. They were the parents of ten children: W. A., the subject of this sketch ; Mrs. Emma Walton, Elva, Oklahoma; George P., Latour, Mis- souri; Mrs. Nellie T. Mizener, Great Falls, Montana; Benjamin B., Free- dom, Oklahoma; Samuel J., Belton, Missouri; and Mrs. Edith E. Carson, Kansas City, Missouri (twins) ; James L., Freedom, Oklahoma; and Opal and one child died in infancy.
W. A. Roberts was reared on a farm and received his education in the public schools and when a youth began working in a hardware store as a clerk. He followed that line of work for a number of years when he engaged in the insurance and loan business at Belton. Six years later he became assistant cashier of the Citizens Bank of Belton and in Febru- ary, 1915, was appointed postmaster of Belton, by President Wilson, and is now serving in that capacity. During his entire career he has taken an active part in local affairs and has served as township collector and has also held the office of township assessor. He has served as a member of the board of aldermen of Belton and taken an active part in promoting the welfare of his home town.
Mr. Roberts was married in 1904 to Miss Mary Bales, a daughter of John Bales, a pioneer of Jackson County, Missouri. To Mr. and Mrs. Roberts have been born the following children: Mary, Martha and Madge.
Mr. Roberts is known throughout Cass County as one of its progressive and public spirited citizens and the Roberts family is prominent in the community, where they reside.
S. R. Holloway, a prominent farmer and stockman of Belton, is a native of Cass County and belongs to one of the pioneer families of Cass and Jackson counties. He is a son of Isaac J. and Mary A. Holloway. A personal sketch of Isaac Holloway appears in this volume. J. G. Holloway, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, settled in Jackson County in 1839. This was long before Kansas City was thought of, when the little town of Westport, where the boats landed, was the metropolis of the river in that section.
S. R. Holloway spent his boyhood days amidst the pioneer surround- ings of Cass County and attended school at High Blue. He began his business career by investing in a small way in live stock and farming, which laid the foundation for his habits of thrift, which have led to suc-
425
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
cess. He lived on the old homestead for many years after his father removed to Belton and in 1892 bought one hundred and sixty acres of land from George W. Powell, which he sold in 1903 and invested in two hun- dred acres east of Raymore. Later he sold this land and bought one hun- dred and sixty acres west of Belton, which he now owns. This is among the best farms of Cass County. It is well watered with never-failing springs and possesses many superior features over the average farm. For years Mr. Holloway specialized in raising corn but recently has found that the use of his land for grazing purposes is more profitable. He raises a great many horses but perhaps his leading product is Duroc Jersey hogs and Oxford sheep.
In 1894 Mr. Holloway was married to Miss Lou Crutchfield, a daugh- ter of H. W. and Marguerite Crutchfield, natives of Clark County, Ken- tucky. Mrs. Holloway is one of a family of six children born to her par- ents, the others being as follows: William, Kansas City, Kansas; Thomas C., deceased; Scott C., deceased; Mrs. Martha Baker, Liberty, Kansas; Mrs. Mamie Haug, Kansas City, Kansas. Mrs. Holloway came to Missouri with her mother in 1875, and they located in Clay County. The mother died in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1902.
Mr. Holloway while yet a young man has had the opportunity to see this section of the country develop from the raw unbroken state to one of the progressive communities of the country. When he came here there were lots of game. Wild turkeys and prairie chickens were as common as domestic fowls are today. Where Belton now stands was a broad unbroken prairie, with a luxuriant growth of wild hay and Kansas City, Missouri, did not extend south of Eighteenth street.
Mr. Holloway belongs to that thrifty and progressive type of suc- cessful men and he has been a material factor in the development of Cass County.
F. C. Bright, a prominent farmer and stockman of Mt. Pleasant township, has been a resident of Cass County for thirty-seven years. Mr. Bright was born in Grundy County, Illinois, in 1862, and is a son of Samuel and Annie Bright, of German descent.
The father was a farmer, and in 1867 went from Illinois to Kansas, where he was engaged in farming for three years and in 1880 came to Missouri and located in Cass County. Here he purchased the old Dalton farm, which consisted of two hundred acres, and engaged in farming and
426
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
stock raising. He was a successful stockman, having been extensively engaged in the cattle business before coming to Cass County. The old Dalton residence is still standing on the place and F. C. Bright, the sub- ject of this sketch, knew the Dalton boys well.
F. C. Bright remained with his father and cooperated with him on the home farm as did also his only brother, H. L. Bright, who is now a leading attorney at Carthage, Missouri. Later F. C. Bright bought eighty acres of land which he operated and at the same time remained with his father and continued to assist the latter with the operation of the home place until the father's death. The mother died in 1880 and the father married again, after coming to Missouri, Ellen Rose and theirs was the first marriage license issued in Cass County after the law requiring mar- riage licenses went into effect July 3, 1881.
F. C. Bright is one of the best stockmen in Cass County and thoroughly understands that line of work. He specializes in Poland China hogs and mulley cattle. He feeds cattle quite extensively and frequently buys at the Kansas City stock yards for that purpose, and generally sells his cattle there. He has a fine farm of four hundred acres and pursues modern and progressive agricultural methods. He is a strong advocate of crop rotation and soil conservation.
Mr. Bright was united in marriage June 30, 1909, with Miss Olive Bowers of Cass County, a daughter of N. G. and Phoebe E. Bowers, natives of Virginia. They are the parents of three children, as follows: Mrs. Minnie G. Gray, Madison, Missouri; Mrs. Mary E. Hale, Belton, Mis- souri ; and Ollie, the wife of F. C. Bright, subject of this sketch. Mr. and Mrs. Bowers now reside in Cass County.

427
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
of Cass County and was a successful farmer and stock raiser. He made a specialty of raising Shorthorn and Hereford cattle and became well-to-do. He died in 1907 and his wife departed this life in 1902. C. R. Blair, the subject of this sketch now owns the old homestead which consists of two hundred and forty-one acres of fertile and tillable land. He was success- fully engaged in general farming and stock raising, making a specialty of Hereford stock until 1915, when he turned his attention to the dairy business and for this purpose stocked farm with a valuable herd of Jersey cows, which he recently disposed of and is now giving his attention to stock raising again.
Mr. Blair was married in 1889 to Miss Susie March, a daughter of James L. March of Belton. Mrs. Blair is one of a family of four children born to her parents, the others being as follows: James March, William March and Francis March. To Mr. and Mrs. Blair have been born the following children: James Wallace, Charles Lawrence and Julia, all of whom are at home with their parents.
Since engaging in the dairy business, Mr. Blair has made many improvements on his place in the way of scientific and sanitary arrange- ments for modern dairying. He has planned and constructed an under- ground milk house of concrete which of itself is an evidence of his pro- gressive ingenuity. He is of the genial type of man and kindly disposed towards the world in general but is thoroughly able to take care of him- self in the business transactions of everyday life.
Ned R. Brawner, an extensive dairyman of Mt. Pleasant township, is of the younger class of men in Cass County who are doing the big things of this day and age. Mr. Brawner was born in Tazewell County, Illinois, in 1892, and is a son of E. P. and Harriet A. Brawner. The mother was a daughter of John Allen, an Illinois pioneer. E. P. Brawner was a son of Henry Brawner of Ohio, and of German descent. Henry Brawner was an early settler in Ohio, and at an early day removed to Illinois with his family, driving through to that state in a wagon. He followed farming and stock raising and prospered. His cattle had a repu- tation for being among the best that were shipped to the Chicago market and he frequently received top prices. January 23, 1902, he sold a car load of Shorthorn cattle on the Chicago market for seven dollars and twenty-five cents per hundred, which was thirty cents higher than was paid for any other stock on that day. Henry Brawner died in 1906.
In 1900, E. P. Brawner, the father of N. R., removed to Missouri with
428
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
his family and settled in Cass County, where he bought four hundred acres of land. His wife died in 1913 and N. R. Brawner, the subject of this sketch, now owns the home place. In 1913, he engaged in the dairy business, beginning with seven cows. He has increased the number to fifty- eight and is one of the leading dairymen in this section of the country. He produces milk of a superior grade and has a contract with Fred Harvey to whom he furnishes all the A grade of milk which he produces. He is now planning on increasing the quantity of milk output to one hundred gallons per day. His place is well equipped for the dairy business, stables being all sanitary and modern in their arrangement, having recently built a well equipped sterilizing plant, and he has a one hundred and fifty ton silo. From his experience, he has come to the conclusion that the silo is indispensable to the most profitable results in the stock or dairy busi- ness. He employs two men on his place the year around and he arranges and systematizes his work so that most of the lost motion is eliminated. His men begin milking at three o'clock in the afternoon and this milk is in Kansas City early the following morning. He uses an automobile truck for delivering. His farm is one of the most productive in the county and he produces practically all the feed for his cows. In 1916, when most of the corn in Cass County was a failure, he produced a good crop, which would indicate that his method of farming was considerably above the average. He keeps his land well fertilized, rotates crops and uses modern machinery.
Mr. Brawner was married in 1910 to Miss Lucille Fitch, a daughter of C. D. and Emma Fitch of Cass County. There were four children in the Fitch family, besides Mrs. Brawner, as follows: Sam, Plattsburg, Missouri; Mrs. Helen Wales, Belton, Missouri; and Cowan, Belton, Mis- souri. C. D. Fitch was born in Kentucky and his wife was a native of Virginia.
Mr. Brawner is a progressive young man and is making a success.
John Vanmeter was born in 1850 in the state of Illinois. His parents, W. B. and Margaret (Creager) Vanmeter, were natives of Ken- tucky. W. B. Vanmeter was the son of John Vanmeter, a native of Ken- tucky, and Margaret (Creager) Vanmeter was the daughter of Christian Creager, of that state. In 1870, W. B. Vanmeter immigrated to Missouri with his family, and settled in Cass County, where he purchased three hundred twenty acres of land. He succeeded well and at the time of his death was owner of five hundred twenty acres of land in Cass County.
429
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
Mr. and Mrs. Vanmeter were noble Christian people, and sincere mem- bers of the Christian church. Both parents are now deceased. The three surviving children of W. B. and Margaret (Creager) Vanmeter are: Henry, Freeman, Missouri; Mrs. Amanda Maloney, West Line, Mis- souri; and John, subject of this review.
In 1869 John Vanmeter and Melvina Buckles, daughter of Jacob and Mary Ann Buckles, of Kentucky, were united in marriage. To this union were born seven children, all of whom have been reared to maturity, and are now living, as follows: Arthur, Harrisonville, Missouri; Mary Ann, West Line, Missouri; Mrs. Elizabeth Jentry, Merwin, Missouri; Mrs. Melvila Thomas, Harrisonville, Missouri; Mrs. Marcilla Richardson, West Line, Missouri; W. A., Freeman, Missouri; and Thomas H., Freeman, Missouri.
Mr. Vanmeter came to Missouri when he was twenty years of age and recalls the condition of Cass County when it was in its natural state. The settlers in the early seventies were few and widely scattered. The prairie was then a wide, open range. Among the pioneer school teachers, he remembers Jim Lyon and Bass Wheeler. The first preachers whom he knew were Rev. Creshaw and Rev. Shaler. John Vanmeter rented land soon after he came to Missouri and began farming. During his residence of forty-seven years in Cass County, he has endured the hard- ships of pioneer life, passed safely through prairie fires and cyclones, and has witnessed the many changes which have taken place almost by magic in the development of the county.
In 1910 he purchased one hundred twenty acres of land in Dolan and West Dolan townships, where he is now engaged in stock raising. Mr. Vanmeter deals extensively in horses and mules. He has been remark- ably successful in his chosen vocation. He is also a successful breeder of Poland China hogs.
W. B. and John Vanmeter are the type of men whose untiring ener- gies have made Cass County great and prosperous. Both were entirely self-made men, who achieved distinction with no other aids than their own individual exertions.
G. B. Lane, one of Cass County's most successful stockmen, is a native of Kentucky. He was born in Bath County and is a son of George and Crit Lane. George Lane was also a native of Kentucky and a member of a prominent pioneer family of that state. In an early day members
430
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
of the Lane family came from Virginia and settled on the headwaters of a stream which has since been known as Lane's Branch, taking its name from that pioneer family. The Lanes are an old Virginia family of Scotch- Irish descent. George Lane, father of G. B., was a prominent farmer and stock raiser in Kentucky and died in 1880 in that state and his widow now resides there. Two children of George Lane and wife who are now living are: G. B., the subject of this sketch, and R. O., Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.
G. B. Lane was united in marriage in 1895 with Miss Georgia Hamil- ton, daughter of George and Ellen (Ashby) Hamilton of Bath County, Kentucky. George Hamilton was a native of Kentucky and a descendant from a prominent Virginia family. His father and grandfather were both born in Virginia and were of Scotch-Irish ancestry. George Hamilton was a farmer and dealer in Shorthorn cattle. He and his brother, J. C. Hamilton, were the first to introduce the Shorthorn sales in Kansas City, Missouri. Mrs. Lane's mother, Ellen Ashby, was a daughter of Mozay Q. and Margaret Ashby. The Ashby family is an old Virginia family, and Capt. Jackson Ashby was a member of this same family. George and Ellen Hamilton were the parents of the following children : W. W. Hamilton, Raymore, Missouri; Mrs. Nellie H. Simmons, Raymore, Missouri; Mrs. Eliza H. Elliott, Pleasant Hill, Missouri; and Mrs. G. B. Lane, the subject of this sketch. To Mr. and Mrs. Lane have been born three children, as follows: George B., Crit, and Owings H. One son, Winston H. Woodson, Kansas City, Missouri, was born to Mrs. Lane by a former marriage, and is a lawyer with Lathrop, Morrow, Fox and Moore, Kansas City, Missouri.
