Fannie (Zook) Miller was born in April, 1837. John T. and Fannie (Zook) Miller were the parents of the following children : Nancy F., who was born December 26, 1868, in Holmes County, Ohio, where she now resides; Stephen T., who was born January 23, 1870, and died in infancy July 24, 1870; Jonathan D., who was born March 23, 1871, and now lives in Holmes County, Ohio; John L., who was born June 3, 1873, and lives in Holmes County, Ohio; Joseph J.

D. J. Miller attended school in Holmes County, Ohio, and received a good common school education. At the age of twenty-one years he came to Cass County, Missouri, and located upon the P. I. Haddon farm, which he purchased March 4, 1886. This is an exceptionally fine place and after Mr. Miller had it well improved he sold it to W. B. Garrison. The handsome residence and excellent barn upon that place were erected by Mr. Miller. After selling his home he moved to Wayne County, Ohio, in 1903 and there remained six years. In 1909 Mr. Miller returned to Cass County, Missouri, and purchased his present home from Pius Hostetler.

Judith (Yoder) Beechy was born July 12, 1824. Her death occurred in the autumn of the same year of her husband's demise, November 10, 1905, in Wayne County, Ohio, and she is interred in Walnut Creek Cemetery. To D. J. and Sarah Ann (Beechy) Miller have been born five children ; Melvin, who was born February 15, 1887, and was called away when just on the verge of manhood, November 11, 1905; Erma, who was born Octo- ber 15, 1888, and is the wife of Elba J. Yoder residing near Latour, John- son County, Missouri; John, who was born December 11, 1892, and lives at home with his parents; Amanda P., who was born November 5, 1895, and is the wife of Roy Kauffman, Garden City, Missouri; and Judith, who was born September 29, 1901, and lives at home with her parents.


Mr. Miller's place is located in Camp Branch township, eight miles east of Harrisonville, on the road from East Lynne to Garden City. It comprises one hundred seventy acres of the best farm land in Cass County and has been so improved by Mr. Miller, as to be one of the beautiful country homes of Missouri. The residence is a handsome structure of eight rooms, modern in every particular and a model of convenience and comfort. In 1910 he erected a barn 36x60 feet in dimensions with a grain and implement shed on the east, which is 14x36 feet and one on the west 36x36 feet in dimensions. The farm is well equipped for handling hay, grain and stock. Mr. Miller keeps usually from six to ten head of horses, twenty-five to forty head of hogs and good stock cattle and general pur- pose cows. Mrs. Miller is interested in poultry and they always have from one to two hundred pure bred Rhode Island Red chickens.


D. J. Miller is the present efficient secretary of the Clearfork Ceme- tery Association, which was organized May 9, 1870. At the time of organ- ization Christian P. Yoder was chairman of the meeting and Jacob C. Kenagy secretary. A committee was appointed to secure a tract of land suitable for burial purposes and May 18, 1870, this committee incorpo- rated the Clearfork Cemetery Association. Articles of incorporation were filed in the district court by order of the judge and were attested by Septer Patrick, clerk of the court of Cass County. The incorporators were: Jacob C. Kenagy, Solomon D. King, John S. Unsicker, Jonathan K. Zook and Christian P. Yoder. The tract selected was a portion of the Christian P. Yoder farm. Mr. Yoders wife was the first person buried in the cemetery. She died February 8, 1869, and her interment occurred before the incorporation of the association. Her son, Peter, was the second person interred just two weeks later. The present officers of the


622

association are S. R. Yoder, president; Lester Clark, acting treasurer in place of his father, G. H. Clark, recently deceased, and D. J. Miller, sec- retary.


Mr. Miller is a member of the religious society of Mennonites and is highly respected by all who know him as a conscientious and consistent member. By occupation he has always been a farmer and his good judg- ment, excellent taste, and love of nature are plainly manifested in the improvements upon the Miller farm. There is none better in the country.


Isane Z. Yoder, a successful and influential farmer and stockman of Camp Branch township, is a native of Pennsylvania. He was born January 30, 1856, in Lawrence County, son of Gabriel and Barbara (Zook) Yoder, natives of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. Gabriel Yoder was born in 1811. Barbara (Zook) Yoder was born in 1814. Both par- ents are now deceased. Gabriel and Barbara (Zook) Yoder were the par- ents of eight children, namely: Abraham, deceased; Levi, deceased ; Peter, deceased; Martha, deceased; Barbara, who resides in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania; Sarah, deceased ; Mrs. Fannie Hartzler, West Lib- erty, Ohio, and Isaac Z., subject of this review.


Isaac Z. Yoder attended school in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. When he was twenty years of age he left Pennsylvania and located tem- porarily in West Liberty, Ohio. He remained in Ohio five years and then immigrated to Missouri. He came to Cass County in 1881 and for eight years worked out by the month. Wages were not large in those days, but Mr. Yoder was industrious and by practicing economy saved enough from his monthly wages to purchase the first land he ever owned from David Plank. This first farm comprised sixty acres. Later he was able to buy the twenty acres adjoining.


November 23, 1886, Isaac Z. Yoder and Sarah Kauffman, daughter of Stephen and Mary (King) Kauffman, were united in marriage at the home of the bride in Camp Branch township. Stephen Kauffman was born in Union County, Pennsylvania, in 1832. He departed this life June 2, 1903, at the advanced age of seventy-one years. Mary (King) Kauff- man was born in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania in 1842. Her death occurred in Camp Branch township, March 2, 1909. Both father and mother are buried in Clearfork Cemetery. Stephen and Mary (King) Kauffman were the parents of the following children: John L., Garden City, Missouri; Mrs. Isaac Z. Yoder, wife of the subject of this

review ; Frank, a prominent farmer and stockman of Camp Branch town- ship; David, Minot, North Dakota; Mrs. Ida Martin, Minot, North Dako- ta; Mrs. Mollie King, Bynum, Montana; Emma, deceased, and Joseph, deceased. To Isaac Z. and Sarah (Kauffman) Yoder have been born six children : William, Chauncey E., Melvin C., Frank L., Edna M., and Roy T. All the children were born in Camp Branch township and all are liv- ing at home with their parents.


In 1899 Mr. Yoder added eighty acres to his holdings and upon this tract of land his present home is situated. He has at different times pur- chased more land until he is at present owner of two hundred forty acres of very valuable farm land. His place is located on the road from Garden City to Harrisonville, one and a half miles north and three and a half miles west of Garden City. All the splendid improvements upon the place, Mr. Yoder himself has placed there. The beautiful home was erected in 1907. It is a large, well built house, 30x30 feet in dimension, consisting of eight spacious, well-lighted rooms and two stories. The residence is strictly modern and no labor or expense was spared to make it comfort- able and convenient. A wash-house in the rear of the residence has been equipped with a gas engine and power washer to lighten the wife's bur- den of household duties. The residence is supplied with hot and cold water, and a light plant has recently been installed. A barn 42×60 feet in dimensions and twenty feet to the square was built in 1904 for stock and hay. There are two silos 10x20 and 12x30 feet in dimensions, respect- ively, and an implement, wagon, and grain shed 28x32 feet in dimensions, upon the place, all in keeping with the general well-kept surroundings. A well, four hundred forty-six feet deep, with pump and engine attached, furnishes plenty of good water. The water comes from sandrock. Mr. Yoder handles a good grade of Shorthorn cattle, usually keeping fifty head of cows, beside high-grade horses. Mrs. Yoder has charge of the poultry and keeps Rhode Island Red and Plymouth Rock chickens.


Mr. Yoder came to Cass County thirty-six years ago, a stranger in a strange land, almost penniless. He is now owner of two hundred forty acres of well improved land. He has achieved success where many would have failed and his present prosperous condition is largely due to his industry, honesty, and indomitable will. He is a respected member of the Mennonite church and has ever lived according to its noble principles and teachings.

J. W. Estes, a prosperous and highly respected farmer and stockman of Polk township, is a native of Missouri and of Polk township. He was born August 22, 1861, a son of William Caswell and Dorothy (Skaggs) Estes. William Caswell Estes, a native of Kentucky, was born May 14, 1813 and died November 15, 1881. He came with his father, William Estes, Sr., to Polk township in the early thirties and there the father died. He is buried in the Rheam Cemetery in Jackson County. The wife of William Estes, Sr., probably died in Kentucky. Dorothy (Skaggs) Estes, a lady of excellent judgment and great energy, the mother of the subject of this review, was born in 1818, a native of Tennessee. She died February 1, 1885. Jonathan Skaggs, a brother of Dorothy (Skaggs) Estes, married a sister of William Caswell Estes. He, too, was a pioneer of the thirties and lived in Polk township until his death. ("Uncle Mose" Bailey, grandfather of Mrs. Dottie Hartzler and Miss Minnie Farmer, who reside in Harrisonville, also came from Tennessee. He died in Polk town- ship and is buried at Lonejack, Missouri.)


In 1837 or 1838 William Caswell Estes and Dorothy Skaggs were united in marriage, in Polk township. This union was blessed with four- teen children. All the children but the youngest, Joseph Lee, were born in Polk township. He, too, would have been born in Polk township had it not been for Order Number Eleven. When this order was issued the family moved to Clay County, Missouri, near Liberty. The children of William Caswell and Dorothy (Skaggs) Estes were as follows: Rufus, married Martha Ann Martin, died October 23, 1907; Effie Ann, married John Owsley, died April 19, 1900, in St. Louis, Missouri, and she and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Rufus Estes, who had died the following day, were brought from St. Louis and buried the same day; Anna, married John Henry Martin, died July 28, 1881; Caroline, married James Francisco, who was circuit clerk of Cass County, died in October, 1877, in Harrison- ville and is buried in Rheam Cemetery; Parthena, married James Good, died in December, 1871; Bluford C., married Mary Beckner, died April 30, 1907 in Clark County, Kansas; Parilee, married Alvin B.

William Edicott, residing in Stafford, Kansas; J. W., subject of this sketch ; and Joseph Lee, married Kate Rowland, residing in Stafford County, Kan- sas. All the members of this family were worthy members of the Bap- tist church and consistent Christians. The kindness of their natures, the tenderness of their hearts, Mr. and Mrs. Estes showed plainly by taking into their home a child to rear in addition to their own family of four- teen. Robert C. Cravens, who came to them at the age of three years and was reared as one of their own. He was a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Estes. His mother, Mrs. Cravens, came through from Texas on horse- back in the early 40's. An Indian woman accompanied them and remained here. Mrs. Cravens died here soon after coming. . William Caswell Estes was highly esteemed throughout the community in which he lived and will ever be remembered for his honesty and uprightness of character. Mrs. Estes won the silver cup in 1883 for having been mother of the largest family born in Cass County, reared to maturity. She was a lov- ing wife and mother, a kind and sympathetic neighbor, and her death was a source of universal regret throughout the community.


When Order No. 11 was issued, the Estes family moved to Clay County, Missouri, and returned to Polk township in 1883. J. W. Estes bought sixty acres of land from John Henry Martin, a place which he still owns. He has at different times increased his holdings until he now owns 180 acres. Mr. Estes was reared a farmer, a vocation he has always followed, becoming a thorough, practical agriculturist. As he grew to manhood he assisted his father in the work of the farm, forming habits of industry and economy. He received his education in the schools of Polk township and all his life has lived here. At the present time he lives one-fourth mile from his old homeplace.


December 6, 1883, J. W. Estes and Martha Elizabeth Scott, who was born in Jackson County near Independence, were united in marriage. Mrs. Estes is a daughter of James and Evaline Scott, both of whom are now deceased. The father died in Bates County, Missouri, in 1904, and the mother in Polk township in 1876. Both are buried in Reed Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Estes have reared Jesse E. Kennedy, who lives with them. He is now eighteen years of age and was taken into the family when three years old.


The Estes farm is pleasantly located eight and one-half miles north- east of Pleasant Hill and four and one-half miles north of Strasburg. The land is under a high state of cultivation and the entire surroundings

show Mr. Estes to be a thorough, practical farmer. He has six acres in alfalfa, and is especially interested in the stock business, keeping fine graded stock, horses and mules. At present he has five dairy cows. He has improved his place in such a manner that the Estes farm is now considered one of the best in the county. His residence, a pretty cottage of six rooms, was erected in 1898 and is a model of comfort and con- venience, well furnished throughout and artificially lighted. His barn and other farm buildings are correspondingly good. The barn is 40 x 44 feet and a silo, 14 x 26 feet, was erected in 1911. All the improvements are of a substantial character.


J. W. Estes has succeeded in life, nobly assisted by his wife, who has always been a true helpmeet to him. Even in this brief review it can easily be seen that the father's mantle has fallen on worthy shoulders.


James W. Ewing, proprietor of "Blue Valley Stock Farm," the home of the registered Spotted Poland China hogs, was born in Hancock County, Ohio, in 1856, son of John and Orpha (Carr) Ewing, natives of Ohio. John Ewing was the son of James Ewing, Sr., who was born in Ashland County, Ohio, and his brother James was born in Pennsylvania. The Ewing family moved from Pennsylvania to Ashland County, Ohio, and thence to Hancock County, Ohio. Orpha (Carr) Ewing was born in Ashland County, Ohio. John and Orpha (Carr) Ewing were the parents of the following children: Hiram, Sawtell, California; E. H., Alpaugh, California ; John, Creighton, Missouri; W. F., Creighton, Missouri; Mrs. J. H. McKee, Leeton, Missouri; Mrs. R. C. McKee, who resides in Texas ; Mrs. M. V. Moler, who resides in Oregon; James W., subject of this review and Upton F., Creighton, Missouri. Both parents are deceased.


James W. Ewing attended school in Warrensburg, Missouri. He remained with his parents, assisting his father with the work on the home place, until he was twenty-four years of age. In 1880 he went to Bates County, Missouri, where he remained three years. Mr. Ewing then moved to Johnson County in 1883. In 1885 he moved from Johnson County to Creighton, Missouri.


October 8, 1879, James W. Ewing and Fannie Daugherty, daughter of James and Jane (Bourne) Daugherty, were united in marriage. James Daugherty departed this life in 1869 and his widow makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. James W. Ewing. She is now eighty-four years of

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY


age. To James W. and Fannie (Daugherty) Ewing have been born seven children : Mrs. Maud Jones, wife of J. H. Jones, Springfield, Missouri ; Mrs. C. F. Price, St. Joe, Missouri; Leoti, who is a teacher in the schools of Butler, Missouri; Nona, who is a stenographer in Springfield, Missouri ; Lee Hall Ewing died at fifteen years of age, February, 1910; Ruth, who is attending the High School in Butler, Missouri; and J. U., who lives at home with his parents. Two children died in infancy.


The "Blue Valley Stock Farm" comprises one hundred thirteen acres of fine land three-fourths of a mile south of Creighton. Mr. Ewing pur- chased this place in 1907, but lived upon his brother's place a few years until he had improved his farm. The place was all in timber when Mr. Ewing came to it in 1910. With the exception of four or five acres it is now all in bluegrass. The farm is well watered. There are five good wells upon the place, one in each pasture. The improvements which Mr. Ewing himself has placed upon his farm are among the best in the county. The beautiful residence is a large concrete structure of ten rooms and furnished with all modern conveniences. The attractive fea- tures of this handsome home are the large concrete porches on the west, south and east sides. The basement walls are also of concrete and the skill with which they were put in denotes excellent workmanship. In 1912 Mr. Ewing erected a splendid barn, 40x58 feet in dimensions, which is covered with an iron roof. In 1913 he built his first silo, 12x28 feet in dimensions and in 1913 the second, 14x28 feet in dimensions. In 1917 the second barn was erected, 32x42 feet in dimensions and eighteen feet square, measuring from the basement. The basement is designed for the stock, the ground floor for grain and hay, and the second floor for hay. Mr. Ewing has made preparations to equip this barn with a corn grinder attached to a line shaft and has the engine and mill ready, at the time of this writing, to install.


The "Blue Valley Stock Farm" is the home of the Spotted Poland China hogs. Big Chief is at the head of the herd. Mr. Ewing has at present three registered sows and a registered male from the H. L. Faulkner stock farm of Jamesport, Daviess County, Missouri. Mr. Ewing sold four sows in January, 1917, which averaged five hundred sixty-eight pounds each. In addition to his herd of hogs he has eleven head of horses, twenty-seven head of sheep and thirty-five head of cattle, twenty of the latter being dairy cows of Jersey, Durham and Galloway breeds.

McCoy, deceased ; Marion O., who resides in Sherman township, and Warren S., subject of this review.


In 1870, Sanford P. Walker brought his family to Cass County, Mis- souri, and settled upon section thirty-five in Sherman township. The ensuing spring he located permanently upon the northwest quarter where he purchased eighty acres from Nathan Gregg. He paid twenty-five dol- lars per acre for this land. Sanford P.

Solomon Yoder brought the family to Cass County, Missouri, a short time prior to the Civil war and located in Grand River township, near Harrisonville, north of East Cemetery. He answered his country's call and enlisted in the Union army. He served faithfully one year and then was honorably discharged, whereupon he returned to the old home in Logan County, where he remained until the bitter struggle had ended. After the war when Solomon Yoder came back to Cass County, Missouri, he found that all the buildings upon his place had been destroyed. He accordingly settled upon eighty acres in Camp Branch township and sold his farm near Harrisonville. The farm upon which Solomon Yoder located is now owned by Alfred Kohler.
