Both parents are interred in Buttermilk Cemetery in Noble County. To John B. and Mary E. (Ken- agy) Yoder have been born the following children: Forest G., Frances E., Lela F., and Walter L., all of whom live at home with their parents.
John B. Yoder's farm is located on section twenty on the main road from Harrisonville to Garden City and comprises eighty acres of the best farm land in the county. The place is well improved and neatly kept. The residence is a two-story structure of seven rooms. Among the many well-kept buildings is a fine barn 32x48 feet, for stock and hay, a silo 10x24 feet and an implement building 22x30 feet. Mr. Yoder is engaged in general farming and stockraising. He has also six head of dairy cows. His preference in hog stock is the Duroc- Jersey.
Mr. Yoder's brother, S. R. Yoder of Camp Branch township, is president of the Clearfork Cemetery Association, a history of the organi- zation of which appears in connection with the sketch of David J. Miller in this volume. John B. Yoder recalls that the first burial in the Clear- fork Cemetery was made in February 1869. Mrs. Lydia Yoder, wife of Christian P. Yoder died February 8, 1869, and was the first person in- terred in the cemetery. Her son, Peter, was the second person interred. His death occurred February 22, 1869. The first Amish Mennonite Church of this community was built on the site of the present cemetery in 1870.
John B. Yoder is a member of the Mennonite church and a worthy Christian gentleman. His family has long been known and respected in Cass County and much of the progress along agricultural lines in this community has been largely due to the industry and efficiency of the Yoders.
Solomon Yoder, father of John B., moved to Cass County May 1, 1860. He enlisted in the Missouri State Militia in 1862, serving one year. John B. Yoder's grandfather was Peter Yoder, born in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, and went to Ohio when ten years old. His wife was Ger-

Ohio, and a son who died in infancy. The mother of this fine family, Fannie (Kauffman) Yoder, died February 7, 1917. Mr. Yoder's home is in West Liberty, Ohio. Milo V. and Emma K. (Yoder) King have been blessed with six fine, intelligent children: Melvin A., who was born May 20, 1896, and died in infancy July 25, 1897; Emmett D., who was born May 10, 1898; Elbert G., who was born February 17, 1900; Myrtle M., who was born November 18, 1901; Mabel V., who was born October 16, 1905; and Oliver H., who was born April 27, 1914, and died in infancy, May 1, 1914.
In 1902 Milo V. King purchased his present home in Camp Branch township from William Campbell and three years later moved to it. His farm comprises eighty acres located four and a half miles north of Gar- den City. All the improvements upon the place Mr. King has placed there since his coming in 1905. The residence, a structure 28x28 feet in dimen- sions and consisting of eight, large, well lighted rooms, was completed in 1916. The barn, 44x36 feet in dimension, was erected in 1905. All the buildings upon Mr. King's place are well constructed and neatly kept. The farm is well watered for Clearfork runs through it, and splendidly adapted for stockraising in which vocation Mr. King is chiefly engaged, raising horses, cattle and hogs. He handles Holstein dairy cattle. Mrs. King raises pure bred Partridge Wyandotte chickens and has been very successful.
Mr. and Mrs. M. V. King are worthy members of the Bethel Men- nonite Church. The church building was erected in 1886. Mr. King is a worker, honest, alert and persevering. By his efficiency and square deal- ings he has won the confidence of all in his community, where he and Mrs. King are highly respected for their many Christian virtues.
John Oesch, a progressive farmer and stockman of Camp Branch township, is a native of Canada. He was born May 14, 1846, and is a son of Christian and Catherine (Zehr) Oesch. Christian Oesch went to Canada with his parents when he was four years old. From Canada he went to Iowa and in September, 1865, came to Missouri, locating in Hickory County.

John Oesch received his education in the public schools of Hickory County, Missouri, and came to Cass County, in January, 1884, locating near Lone Tree. Here he rented a farm for several years. In November, 1894, he bought his present place in Camp Branch township, the place having been formerly owned by D. Y. Hooley, and was at one time the Agnew farm. It contains one hundred acres, is well improved and a very valuable and productive farm. The old farm residence, 20x36 feet, which was built prior to the war still stands on the place, and is an interesting old relic of the handiwork of the early pioneers. The sills are rough-hewn and the lath hand-rived and the old house is still in a fair condition, although it is not used for residence purposes. Mr. Oesch built a fine residence of eight rooms in 1905, which is modern and equipped with acetylene lighting plant. The Oesch farm is well improved with suit able barns, one of which, 36 x 48 feet, was built in 1900, and the other one, 32 x 44 feet, was built in 1916.
In addition to being a successful general farmer, Mr. Oesch is recog- nized as one of the leading Percheron horse breeders in Cass County. He owns a very valuable stallion, Governor Hanley, weight eighteen hun- dred pounds. He also owns a valuable registered jack, Commerce, and King Harger, a valuable jack eligible to registration, and Fred Wilks, a roadster stallion, also eligible to registration. Mr. Oesch keeps a high grade of Guernsey cows. From several standpoints he is one of the most successful breeders of Cass County.

In 1876 he came to Cass County and located on the Hedge farm, which is now owned by Amos Martin. After remaining here about a year he settled on a farm near Gunn City. Later Mr. Kropf bought a farm near East Lynne. He sold this place, when he bought a farm in Index township, where his wife, and the mother of the subject of this review, died in 1887. The father spent the remainder of his days with his children.
David D. Kropf, the subject of this sketch, received the principal part of his education in the public schools of Hickory County, Missouri. He remained at home with his parents until he was twenty-one years old. He then began life as a farm laborer, working by the month. Later he rented land and began farming on his own account. He first purchased eighty acres of land which he later sold, and bought a hundred twenty acres in Index township. He sold this in 1910, and bought his present place from Conrad Wall. This place was formerly owned by Emery White. Prior to that time it was the Halcomb farm. It is a valuable farm of two hundred acres and is located one-half mile east and one and one-half miles north of Garden City.

W. B. Scruggs, secretary and manager of the Cass County Telephone Company, was born in Hickory County, Missouri, January 14, 1868. His father was W. H. Scruggs, a native of Virginia, born in 1827. He came to Westport, now a part of Kansas City, Missouri, in 1839. He made his home there until after the Civil War. At the age of twenty-one, he was appointed government blacksmith for the Shawnee Indians, and was stationed at the Old Shawnee Mission in Johnson County, Kansas. He held this position for four years. This Indian school was one of the most important in the United States at that time, having about four hundred pupils. It was one of the first schools in the country to teach manual training and was discontinued after the war. In the early fifties Mr. Scruggs followed freighting over the Santa Fe Trail from West- port to Santa Fe, New Mexico. He located in Hickory County in 1867, and during his residence there made six trips to Colorado and other western points, to again view the scenes of his earlier experiences. He died in Hickory County, in 1906.
W. H. Scruggs married Alice Evans, a native of Kentucky. They were parents of five children, four of whom are living: W. B., the sub- ject of this sketch; C. H., J. O., and J. E., all living at Cross Timbers, Missouri. A daughter died at Independence, Missouri, at the age of five years.
W. B. Scruggs has been identified in a business way, with the city of Harrisonville and Cass County, for the past twenty-eight years. In
639
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
1889 he opened a general merchandise store at the southeast corner of the square. Later he moved the stock to the building now occupied by the Hub Clothing Company, and took in T. W. Clemments as a partner. This firm later moved to the rooms occupied at the present by the A. C. Mercantile Company, and then to the Deacon Building. In 1901 Mr. Scruggs sold his interest in the store to his partner.
Although engrossed with business affairs, Mr. Scruggs was always willing to lend a hand for the good of the city of Harrisonville, and for nine years, from 1895 to 1904, was an active member of the city council. Mr. Scruggs was cashier of the Bank of Harrisonville, from August, 1907, to August, 1913, and for ten years was vice-president of the Allen Bank- ing Company.
During the early years of his active business career, Mr. Scruggs had been watching carefully the development of the telephone business and believed that the progressive people of his city and county would if given an opportunity patronize a company that would guarantee good service. With this conviction in mind, he as secretary and manager and with H. B. Moody as president, organized the Cass County Tele- phone Company, June 1, 1898, starting with only thirty-eight phones, all in Harrisonville.
The wisdom of this venture is shown by the remarkable growth this company has made. An extension of the system was made to Peculiar, Missouri, in 1903, and the following year to Freeman, Drexel and Garden City. The line at present practically covers all of Cass County, and has branches extending into Bates County, Missouri, and Miami County, Kan- sas. The company has recently taken over the Bell Exchange Company at Pleasant Hill, Missouri, and now has over one thousand nine hundred telephones in operation. The Cass County Telephone Company was incor- porated December 28, 1900, for two thousand dollars, increased to fifty thousand dollars February 28, 1904, and to seventy-five thousand dollars February 19, 1917. The company owns its exchange buildings at both Harrisonville, and Peculiar.
Mr. Scruggs is proprietor of the "Rock Hill Farm" of two hundred and forty acres, situated two miles southeast of Harrisonville. The farm lies at the intersection of the Osage Valley and Jefferson Highway, and is one of the most beautiful and attractive farms in the County. Two fine stock barns and a modern residence have been constructed by Mr. Scruggs since he purchased it. A water system furnishes, not only the
640
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
residence, but the barns and feed lots as well. Mr. Scruggs was married April 9, 1890, to Dora Clemments, a daughter of Mrs. S. M. Clemments of Harrisonville, Missouri. They are parents of two children, Kathleen and Wilma, both graduates of the Harrisonville, High School, and also of Stevens College at Columbia, Missouri.
