JOHN T. McCORMICK
(Of the firm of McCormick & Simpson, Merchants, at Waldron, Mo.).
The general merchandising business of the firm just mentioned was formed by them in 1879, and has since been conducted with uniform good success and profit. Messrs. McCormick & Simpson carry a stock of about $5,000, and do an annual business of nearly $20,000, all on a cash basis -figures that themselves speak enough for the business ability and popularity of the proprietors of the house. Mr. McCormick, on his mother's side, is originally of Scotch ances- try, branches of the family having come to this country away back in its early history, from Scotland. His father, J. R. McCormick, a native of Culpeper county, Va., married Miss Angeline H. Corbin, of the same county, a daughter of Micham Corbin. The grandpar- ents on both sides were gallant participants in the War of 1812. J. R. McCormick was one of the commissioners of the county where he so long resided, for many years. He was the owner of a small plan- tation, was a more than ordinarily successful business man, and at his death in 1868 left a comfortable estate to his family. Before the war he owned a number of slaves. John T. McCormick, coming of such a family, enjoyed excellent opportunities in youth for applying himself to whatever occupation he might choose. His education was acquired at private schools which he was attending when the mutter- ings of war first swept over the country. At the age of 15, in the summer of 1862, he enlisted in Co. D, Fourth Virginia cavalry, and
891

served until the close of that long and terrible conflict. He partici- pated in the engagements on the retreat of the army from the Penin- sula for about ten days, the Seven Day's fight around Richmond, Brandy Station, Second Manassas, Gettysburg, and, in fact, all the principal encounters with the army of Northern Virginia. He sur- rendered with the regiment at Appomattox, soon thereafter returning to his home. Subsequently, having a desire to prosecute his studies at school, which had been so interrupted by the war, he was a student at a select school some three months. In the winter of 1865 he went to Washington City and worked for a time at the newspaper business, remaining there until March, 1866. Coming West, he located in Platte county, Mo., and for two years was engaged in teaching. After farming and dealing in wheat in Camden Point a short time he came to Waldron in the spring of 1879, and his career from that time to the present has been noted above. The stock which is carried here embraces dry goods, groceries, clothing, hardware, etc., a complete line of general merchandise. They occupy and own a store building containing two rooms, 20x60 feet in dimensions. Mr. McCormick has been twice married ; first, to Miss Mary V. Stallard, daughter of Ran- dolph Stallard, in September, 1868. She died in February, 1882, leaving four children : Lula J., Elbert R., James R. and William T. His second marriage occurred in St. Joseph, January 24, 1884, when Miss Jennie Miller became his wife. Her father, John Miller, now of California, was formerly from Illinois, in which State she was born, though reared and educated in St. Joseph. Mrs. McCormick is a member of the M. E. Church ; her husband is a Mason. Mr. McC. will soon be 38 years old, having been born in Culpeper county, Va., August 1, 1847.
WESTON A. PEARCE
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 12, Post-office, Waldron).
Mr. Pearce is a descendant of one of the bravest soldiers who par- ticipated in the War of 1812, his father, Robert Pearce, having enlisted in that conflict, through which he served with distinguished gallantry. He came to Howard county, Mo., in the fall of 1819, and for a long time worked at his trade of wheelwright in Clay county. In 1847 he took up his location in Platte county, bought a farm and improved it, and resided here until his death, in 1882 - one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of the county. He was originally from Greene county, Tenn. (born May 25, 1795 ), and after growing to man- hood there, was married to Miss Mary Campbell, of the same State, and who is also deceased. Weston A. Pearce was born at an early day in the history of Clay county, February 19, 1828, and accompanied his parents to this county upon their removal here. So many years of continual residence in this immediate part of the State has tended to place him among the best known residents of Clay and Platte coun- ties, and his life history is immediately interwoven -with the history of these two counties. His marriage occurred here July 5, 1854, when Miss Frances M. Baldwin, daughter of Martin Baldwin, formerly
892
HISTORY OF PLATTE COUNTY.
of Ray county, Mo., and one of the early settlers here, became his wife. Her father was born January 3, 1814, and her mother, in Marion county, Ky., April 26, 1814. After this event Mr. P. pur- chased the land and settled on the place which has since continued to be his home. One hundred acres are embraced within the farm, which is situated about one mile from Waldron, and nearly all of this is in cultivation. A good orchard is on the place, and necessary out- buildings. Mr. and Mrs. Pearce have reared a worthy family of children, nine in number, namely : Clarissa, wife of John Kampheif- ner, of this county; Florence, now Mrs. William Babcock, also in this county; Mary, John F., Martin, Cleora, George, Henry and Thomas. Mr. Pearce has a large and appreciative circle of friends in this vicinity, who hold him in the highest esteem.
HENRY SEARCY
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 1, Post-office, Waldron).
The father of the subject of this sketch, Christopher Searcy, was a native of Kentucky, and after reaching manhood was married to Miss Ellen Spencer, of the same State. Subsequently, or in the year 1839, he came to Platte county, Mo., but later went to Texas. Of their family of children born to them, Henry, our subject, was born after the family had located in this county, on the 22d of March, 1841, and in this vicinity his youth was spent, the duties of the home farm occupying his attention for a long time. One year was passed in Leavenworth county, Kan. About the year 1866 he settled in the Platte bottoms, where he gave his time and labor to tilling the soil, and in the spring of 1869 he took up his residence on the place which has since been his home. This, under his careful management, has been improved in an excellent manner, and is in good cultivation. It embraces 130 acres, and in its conduct Mr. Searcy has met with the success which his industry deserves. He was married in Platte county December 28, 1865, to Miss Elizabeth L. Babcock, daughter of Richard Babcock, of this county, but for- merly from Ohio. Mrs. S. is well known in this vicinity, having spent her entire life here. Their family consists of two children, William R. and Lena E. They have reared two others, C. Frank Foster, who has been with Mr. Searcy since he was 12 years old, and now is of age ; and Eli Babcock, 5 years old. Mrs. Searcy is a mem- ber of the M. E. Church South. Her husband formerly belonged to a lodge of the Ancient Order of Odd Fellows, at Farley, which is now discontinued.
JOHN W. STUCKEY
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Waldon).
Mr. Stuckey is a native of Virginia, born and reared in Berkeley county, now West Virginia, the date of his birth being September 17, 1848. His parents, Jacob A. and Effie (Ferrill) Stuckey, both Vir- ginians by birth, now reside in Berkeley county. John W. was

afforded the usual advatages of attending the common schools, from which he received an ordinary education, and in 1869 he went to Ohio, stopping for about five months in Licking county. Coming westward to Missouri in October, of the same year, he located in Platte county and was engaged in working on a farm by the month for something over a year. He and his brother then rented a farm in the northern part of the county and in company with S. R. Stuckey cultivated land for two years. February 6, 1873, Mr. S. was married in this county to Miss Anna M. Funk, daughter of Abraham Funk, a merchant of Hampton, but now of Franklin county, Kan. Though born in Pennsylvania, she was principally reared in Leavenworth, Kan. After his marriage, Mr. Stuckey farmed on rented land for a few years and subsequently bought a place north of Platte City, which he afterwards sold, purchasing his present homestead in October, 1883. He has 217 acres well improved and nearly all in grass, and expects to make the stock business a prominent feature of his business. An almost new residence adorns his place, and upon it is also a young orchard of about 500 trees, all select varieties of fruit and of different kinds. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Stuckey numbers three children: Effie F., Sallie B. and Mollie. Two are deceased, Maggie M., died at the age of seven years, and Lucy, died when five years old.
GEORGE WHEELER
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 30, Post-office, Waldron).
One of the neatest farms in Waldron township is that owned by Mr. Wheeler, containing some 200 acres and situated about two miles east of Waldron, in the Platte river bottoms. Nearly 140 acres are in cul- tivation, and upon it is a good residence and other necessary buildings, together with a young orchard. Having come from Kentucky origin- ally, he has advanced ideas as to how a farm should be conducted, and endeavors to combine the practical with the theoretical in its manage- ment. Born in Jefferson county, Ky., March 14, 1823, he was the son of Ignatius and Jennie (James) Wheeler, also Kentuckians by birth, their deaths occurring in Jefferson county, that State, the former in 1883 and the latter in 1882. George remained in the county of his birth until grown, being married there in 1847 to Miss Nancy G. Woodsmall, a daughter of John Woodsmall. She was born on the farm adjoining her husband's. In the spring of the year 1855 Mr. Wheeler came to Missouri and located in Platte county, at Parkville, where he operated a saw and flouring mill for 17 years, or up to about 1872. Then he came upon the farm spoken of above, where he has since remained. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler have reared a worthy family of children : Henry, married, and in Carroll county ; Roxanna, wife of B. J. Colman, in Jefferson county, Kan. ; Metitia J., wife of Gus. Threlkeld, of Jackson county, Mo., and John L., a graduate of Central College, and now pursuing the study of law at Kansas City. One son, George, died when 10 years old. Mr. Wheeler and wife are members of the M. E. Church South at Waldron.

BOUNDARY AND PHYSICAL FEATURES.
There has been no changes in Preston township since its organiza- tion. It is bounded on the north by Buchanan county, on the east by Clay county, on the south by Carroll township,. and on the west by Green township, from which it is separated by the Platte river. Preston township is rather broken ; it is well watered by the Platte river, Smith's Fork, Dick's grove and Owl creek. The highlands are well adapted to wheat growing, and the bottom land to corn. All the arable lands in the township are settled.
EARLY SETTLERS.
Among the early settlers of the township were Thornton Guinn, - Cook, Dr. Gregory, John A. Berry, Christopher Black, Noah Berry, Rev. Thomas Hurst, Valentine Bernard, Archibald Hill, Pey- ton Murphy, James Green, Messrs. Masterson, Sexton, Morgan, Hin- ton, Hunter and others.
RIDGELY.
From Edward's Atlas of Platte county, we take the following : Ridgely was laid out by Christopher Black, Preston Akers, Samuel Phillips and Theodorick Fitzgerald, but prior to the establishment of Ridgeley, a town about one-half mile north of the present location was started by Jeremiah Farmer, which was by some called " Hell Town." The name killed it, and Ridgely supplied its place.
An interloper by the name of Brown kept a grocery at the former place in 1844. He joined an expedition to rob the Santa Fe traders coming into Independence to buy goods. They met a train on the Arkansas river, and killed a wealthy Mexican named Jarvis, for which Brown and John McDaniel were hanged in St. Louis in 1845. Ridgely is in the midst of an intelligent and thrifty population, and does (894)

considerable business, the principal business houses being C. F. Chris- man and Homer Denman. Dr. John Robinson is the physician of the town ; his father was one of the oldest medical practitioners of the county. Drs. Sims, Phillips and Oden have each plied the vocation of the healing art in this part of the county, while in the northern portion, at or near Edgerton, were Drs. Gregory and Dunlap and Jones, the latter still living.
C. F. Chrisman is postmaster. The present population of the place is about 50. Edgerton is its shipping point.
EDGERTON.
This town owes its birth and growth to the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, and, with the exception of Platte City and Weston, is probably the most important town in the county. Although com- paratively a new town, it is situated in the vicinity of a fine, rich country, in a high state of cultivation, as well as in the midst of an enter- prising and intelligent population. A fine mercantile business is done here, and large quantities of produce and stock are shipped for the Eastern markets.
The business interest is represented by 1 bank, 1 newspaper, 6 general stores, 2 drug stores, 3 grocery stores, 1 confectioner, 2 boot and shoe stores, 1 millinery establishment, 1 hardware store, 1 furniture store, 1 harness and saddlery shop, 2 grain dealers, 1 lum- ber yard, 2 blacksmith shops and 1 hotel.
EARLY CHURCHES.
The Primitive Baptists were the pioneer denomination to organize a religious society, and they built a log building near Edgerton early in the "Forties." Rev. William Trapp, who was a farmer, was the first preacher of the denomination. The Methodists formed a class soon after, and the Missionary Baptists and Christians each subsequently effected an organization. The Missionary Baptists built the second house of worship and called it Mt. Zion. The Methodists built in about 1847 at Ridgely. The Primitive Baptists at first outnumbered either of the other denominations. At the present time the Mission- ary Baptists and Christian communicants number about the same, and next the Methodists, the Primitive Baptists having the smallest num- ber. In the early history of the county private schools were taught near Edgerton about three months in the year, and also one at Ridgely at an early period.

UNION MILLS AND DISTILLERY.
The Union Mills and Distillery, located about one and one-half miles northwest of Edgerton, are owned by G. W. Johnson. These are good mills and the product of the mill and distillery are of supe- rior quality.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
ROBERT BABER
(Farmer, Section 12, Post-office, Ridgely).
Mr. Baber, for many years a farmer in comfortable circumstances in Preston township, and a man with an extensive acquaintance among the people of this county, was born in Pulaski county, Ky., on the 22d of August, 1825, and was the son of John Baber, a Kentuckian by birth, whose father, Robert Baber, was originally from Virginia. During the journey of the latter with his family from that State to Kentucky, John, his son, was born. After reaching manhood he was married to Miss Delila Davis, of the same State as himself. During the War of 1812 he was a gallant soldier in defense of this country against the invasion of foreign troops, and was an active participant
in the engagement at New Orleans. In the fall of 1841 the family removed to Missouri, taking up their location in Platte county, where they lived for eight years. In 1849 they went to Texas, but the fall of the next year found them once again residents of Platte. Here, or on the place which our subject now occupies, Robert's father died, in 1872, aged 72 years, having been born in 1800. His widow is still living, at the age of 81. Robert Baber accompanied the family on their removal to this State, and also to Texas, returning with them and settling where he now lives in 1850, as above mentioned. Feb- ruary 28, 1856, he was married in this county to Miss Emma R. Kimsly, whose parents were Thomas and Martha (Morris) Kimsly. Mr. K. came to Missouri from Tennessee when a young man, and his wife from Kentucky. Mrs. Baber was born in Howard county,. Mo. They have a family of seven boys and four girls : John T., married and a resident of this county ; Landon D. and Thomas J., twins ; James M., married and in this county ; Andrew J., George W., married and in the county ; David F., Martha J., Delila Ann, Lucy E. and Mari- etta. Mr. and Mrs. Baber are members of the Missionary Baptist Church. Mr. B. has a farm of 238 acres, all fenced, about 100 acres of which are in cultivation. His orchard is a good one and in fine bearing condition.

HISTORY OF PLATTE COUNTY.
CAPT. CHARLES F. CHRISMAN
(Dealer in General Merchandise, and Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Ridgely).
Capt. Chrisman has been engaged in merchandising at Ridgely for nearly thirty years continuously, with an exception of a short time during the Civil War. He came to this county a young man long ago, and without a dollar. But by his industry and close attention to business, his fair dealing and economy, he has accumulated a com- fortable property. Capt. Chrisman has long been one of the leading merchants of the county. Besides his business interests he is also prominently interested in farming and stock raising, and has two val- uable farms in the county. One of his places contains 160 acres, and the other 227 acres, both being well improved. He was born in Union county, Indiana, in 1830, and when he was 14 years of age went with his parents, who removed to Bath county, Ky. He completed his adolescence in Kentucky and received an excellent common school education, being a youth of a bright, quick mind and anxious to qualify himself by study for business life. However, on the outbreak of the Mexican War, in 1846, he enlisted for the service in the distant republic beyond the Rio Grande, and was in the regiment of which John C. Breckinridge was major, and Thomas T. Crittenden, a son of John J., was lieutenant-colonel. All the world is familiar with the gallant death of young Crittenden. After the war young Chris- man returned home and engaged in teaching school, which he followed until a year or two after he came to Missouri. But by the year 1856 he had accumulated a nucleus of means to begin merchandising with, it being the ambition of his life to become a successful merchant. He accordingly opened a stock of goods at Ridgely and carried on business with excellent success up to the outbreak of the Civil War. He then promptly volunteered in the State Guard (Southern service ), and was elected captain of Co. G, of the Second Missouri, Fifth division. This service was enlisted for six months, but he was out about seven months. During that time he was in the battles of Blue Mills, Pea Ridge and some others of less importance. Returning home after this, Capt. Chrisman resumed charge of his store and filled the office of postmaster, so that the office might not be taken away for the want of some one to perform its duties. But in a short time the condition of affairs became so critical that he was compelled to leave the country, and, accordingly, like the Arabs of old, he quietly boxed up his goods, folded his tent, and silently departed. He went to Montana and did not return until after the close of the war. But coming back in 1865, Capt. Chrisman resumed business at Ridgely, becoming a member of the firm of Chris- man & Conway. Four years later he bought out Mr. Conway and has ever since continued the business alone. In 1852 Capt. Chrisman was married to Miss Hannah, a daughter of Isaac Crouch, of Bath county, Ky. They have three children, Horace, Charles and John. Mrs.
898
HISTORY OF PLATTE COUNTY.
Chrisman was taken away by death June 30, 1884. She was an excellent woman, a devoted wife and mother, a kind and hospitable neighbor, and a true-hearted Christian lady. Capt. Chrisman is one of the leading men of Preston township. Upright and honorable in every sense of the word, he is at the same time a genial, popular man and exercises a marked influence for good in the community where he resides. He is a son of John and Elizabeth Chrisman, the father a native of Maryland, but the mother originally of Vir- ginia. They settled in Indiana in an early day and subsequently in Bath county, Ky., where they resided until their deaths. The father was a man of high character, and one whose word for what- ever he gave it was considered as good as any man's bond. He was given a good start in life by his father but lost it in the cotton trade between New Orleans and Norfolk, by the sinking of a large cargo of cotton. Subsequently he went to work with courage and resolution - not returning home like the prodigal son - and made another start by his own industry and ability. He had too much self-respect to ask anything further from his parents, and would not have partaken of the fatted calf if it had been offered at a feast under his father's roof in honor of his return. He went his own way in the world, and, according to the best accounts, did better in the long run than the prodigal son, who went whining back to receive the sympathy of his father and the sneers of his brother.
CAPT. WILLIAM COCKRILL
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 1, Post-office, Ridgely).
On the 15th of May, 1831, in Grayson county, Ky., there was born to James and Lucinda ( Sirls ) Cockrill a son, whom we now take as the subject of this sketch - a man who has risen to a well merited prominence among the citizens of this county, and one respected by all for his sterling worth. James Cockrill was a Virginian by birth, but his wife was originally from Kentucky. In 1856 the family re- moved to Missouri and located in Platte county, where Mr. C. bought. land and improved a farm. He was occupied with agricultural pur- suits only a short time after his removal to this vicinity, death putting an end to what was the promise of an unusually successful career. He died in August, 1858. During his early years William Cockrill was denied the privileges of receiving much of an education outside of what could be obtained by self-application. But, of determined purpose and will for securing something of a knowledge of books, he applied himself closely, and, as proven in later years, to advan- tage. His occupation in his younger days was teaming and hauling from Louisville to Nashville for a number of years. In November, 1855, he was married in his native county to Miss Martha Jane Bratche, an old schoolmate, and a daughter of John A. Bratche, originally from North Carolina. Mrs. C. was born, reared and educated in Kentucky. During the late war Capt. Cockrill served in the State militia, and, just previous to the close of the conflict, was commis-
899
HISTORY OF PLATTE COUNTY.
sioned captain. The Captain is the owner of 310 acres of fenced land, upon which is a comparatively new residence, barns, etc. To his present position he has risen entirely by his own efforts, having from the very first nothing to rely upon but his own energy and will. He is not personally occupied to any great extent in agricultural pursuits, his land being rented, while he loans his money. Capt. and Mrs. Cockrill have no children of their own, but have an adopted nephew, William Cockrill, whose mother is dead ; he is five years old.
THOMAS J. DOKE
(Of Doke & Sons, Dealers in Drugs, Groceries and Hardware, and Grain Shippers, Edgerton). -
The parents of Mr. Doke were John L. and Nancy (Yeager) Doke, originally from the vicinity of Danville, Ky. The family came to this State in 1854, and settled a farm near New London, in Ralls county, where the parents made their home some fourteen or fifteen years. The father became a leading farmer of that county, besides being largely engaged in the mule trade, shipping to Southern markets. He was also a prominent slaveholder of Ralls county. At the outbreak of the war, Mr. Doke, Sr., had large amounts of money due him in the South for mules he had sold on time, as was then the custom in the Southern mule trade. These debts he of course failed to collect on account of the war, the loss of which greatly embarrassed him at home. But, added to these misfortunes, came the loss of his negroes by the emancipation proclamation and repeated robberies by preda- tory bands of soldiery, leaving him little or nothing except his farm and other real estate, which were rendered valueless for a time by the war, notwithstanding he had unavoidable liabilities to meet. All in all, he was practically broken up, and in his old age, although his life had been one of industry and success, he was left with but little to go upon. This seemed a strange ending to the affairs of one who had won and deserved success, and who has ever been a steadfast believer in the goodness and wisdom of Providence. But the ways of Provi- dence are past finding out, and at last all may possibly prove for the best, though at the present writing the dubiousness of such a result looks several sizes larger than a man's hand. In any circumstances, however, we all know that Allah is good ! In 1875 Mr. Doke, Sr., removed to Lafayette county, and four years later he and his good wife went to make their home with one of their children in Bates county. Thomas J. Doke, the subject of this sketch, was born near Danville, Ky., November 12, 1832. November 22, 1853, he was mar- ried to Miss Martha H., daughter of Henry and Mary Bruce. The following spring Mr. Doke removed to Missouri and settled in Ralls county. Twelve years later he removed to Platte county, and located near the present site of Edgerton. In 1877 he engaged in merchandis- ing here and has been in the trade continuously ever since. His sons, John H. and Will J., are now his partners, and they have one of the leading business establishments of Edgerton. They carry full country
