Mr. Goodrich came to Cameron in May, 1867. He worked as a plas- terer until 1873, when he entered the grocery business. He remained in that enterprise for 25 years and made a success of the work. In 1878 he assisted in the organization of the Farmers Bank at Cameron, and has been actively interested in that institution ever since.
The Farmers Bank was organized with a capital of $10,000, and now has capital stock of $75,000. The present surplus is $50,000; the undi- vided profits, $28,000; and the deposits, $700,000. The business is con- ducted in a two-story building erected in 1921 and owned by the bank.

The officers of the bank are alert, progressive men, and the bank main- tains a vital share in the business of the town.
N. S. Goodrich was married at Cameron in 1870 to Anna F. Frame, a daughter of James and Mary (Fleming) Frame. Mr. and Mrs. Frame and their daughter were all natives of Paisley, Scotland. They came to Cameron in 1866, and Mr. Frame started the first lumber yard in the city.
To N. S. and Anna F. (Frame) Goodrich two children were born: James E., mentioned later in this paragraph; and Jennie, living at home. James E. Goodrich graduated from the Missouri State University and now lives in Kansas City, Mo., where he is an attorney-at-law and where he filled the office of circuit judge for six years.

G. W. Stoner, a well-known real estate dealer at Cameron, Clinton County, since 1869, is a native of Indiana. He was born one mile from South Bend, Montgomery County, Jan. 13, 1835.
In 1857 Mr. Stoner went to Kansas. He had a claim there and in Daviess County, Missouri. On his way to Kansas he stopped at Cameron, and he well recalls the town as it was in that early day. While he was in Kansas proving up his claim, the Indians became quite friendly with him. On one occasion an Indian invited him to a dinner, which was given in honor of Mr. Stoner. The guest of honor saw the squaws mixing squir- rels, prairie chicken, quail, and rabbits into a sort of stew. Before the meal was ready for serving, Mr. Stoner became ill, so he never knew just what the gustatory result of the mixture would have been. He felt, how- ever, appreciative of the kindly intent of the Indians.
Mr. Stoner enlisted for service in the Civil War at Gallatin in 1862 and was sworn into his duty as a member of the Missouri State Militia by Major Cox in front of the Court House. His duties were in Daviess County.
In 1868 Mr. Stoner located in Cameron, and the next year he opened a real estate office. He has sold the great part of the present site of Cameron through his office. In 1882 he built the structure, a two-story brick building, now used as a cafe, just northwest of the Cameron Hotel. Mr. Stoner still owns this building. He also owns the residence which has been his home since 1872, and has timber land holdings in the state of Vera Cruz, in Mexico. Mr. Stoner has watched the growth of the com- munity around Cameron from the time when there were but two houses between Cameron and Victoria, Daviess County. All of the land com- prised in this district was entered, however, a year before Mr. Stoner settled here. Mr. Stoner's first home in the county was a one-room cabin, which he erected himself. Two and one-half years later the cabin was destroyed by fire.
G. W. Stoner was married March 5, 1862, to Susan C. Rogers, a native of Kentucky and a daughter of William and Kittie Rogers. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers located in Daviess County in 1854. Mrs. Stoner died in 1908 and her remains are buried in the Cameron cemetery. To her union with G.

W. Stoner the following children were born: Jacob, married Ella Smith, and was the mayor of Cameron at the time of his death; Ida, now the wife of Charles Leibrandt, a sketch of whose life appears in this volume; and Frank, died at the age of two years. Mrs. Ella Smith Stoner now lives at Excelsior Springs.
Mr. Stoner is the oldest man belonging to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge at Cameron. He is now 87 years old, but is hale and active, and maintains a keen interest in all the local affairs. Few men who were among those to settle in the county in 1857 are yet alive. A commemoration of the lives and services of the men and women whose struggles during the pioneer days made possible the present development of the community is a vital purpose of this volume.
W. G. Sloan and his two sons, J. C. and .G. Roy, own and operate the Sloan Granite and Marble Works at Cameron. Mr. Sloan was born at Trenton, Canada, Feb. 22, 1851, and spent the first 16 years of his life on a farm.
At the age of 16 years, Mr. Sloan was apprenticed to a marble cutter, and in 1871, he went to Chicago, Ill., where he remained for a short time. He later came to Maysville, Mo., remained a few months, and then returned to Canada, where he went to school. In 1872, he located at Cameron, Mo., where he has lived ever since. He set up his first stone in 1871 at Maysville and since that date, has been continuously in the work. His shop is located on the west side of the City Park at Cameron, and the business is one of the flourishing enterprises of the town. Mr. Sloan's sons, J. C. and G. Roy, grew up in the work and are now connected with the business. G. Roy Sloan is the salesman for the firm and J. C. Sloan attends to the delivery. With the exception of one year, 1872, when A. C. Jackman was his partner, Mr. Sloan has been alone in the business until his sons grew up. The shop thus represents the life work of Mr. Sloan and its successful management attests to his energy and good business qualities.
W. G. Sloan was married Jan. 1, 1876, to Sarah E. Craig, daughter of James and Mary Craig, and to this union three children were born: J. C., born in 1878, married Corrinne Simms of Cameron and has two sons, Ledgerwood and Harold; G. Roy, born on July 19, 1882, married Etta Brown of Cameron and has a daughter, Maurine; and Carrie, living at home. The two sons are business partners of W. G. Sloan. .

He served as a private and was later raised to the ranks of orderly, sergeant, second lieutenant, first lieutenant, and captain. He took part in several skirmishes and battles. At the battle of Chickasha Bayou, in Tennessee, he was taken prisoner, and kept for four months. He spent 30 days at Vicksburg, 30 days at Jackson, and 60 days in Libby Prison, at Richmond, Va. At that time 1,600 prisoners of war were detained in the Libby Prison and the facili- ties for caring for so many men were inadequate. Mr. Corn became ill, and was exchanged and released from Libby Prison on May 8, 1863. Six months later he rejoined his regiment, and on July 4, 1863, took part in the second capture of Jackson. He was mustered out of service at Colum- bus, Ohio, in October, 1864.
Mr. Corn attended the Western and Union Law College at Cleveland, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar in Cleveland in 1865. He practiced his profession first at Moorfield, W. Va., and later at Grant Court House, W. Va. He made his first public appearance as a speaker when Grant County was set off from Hardy County, in West Virginia. He came to Cameron in 1869 and at once began the practice of law, a profession in which he continued in active work until 1900, when he retired from business. In the early days he made the race for prosecuting attorney in the county on the Republican ticket.
Mr. Corn was interested in commercial enterprises and formed a partnership with L. E. Burr in a hardware store. Under the firm name of Burr & Corn, the two partners handled implements, tinware, and stoves, and did an excellent business. In 1897 he sold his interest in the store to his partner. Some time later Mr. Burr retired from business and is now dead. In 1878 Mr. Corn assisted in the organization of the Farmers Bank and served as a member of the board of directors of that institution. Mr. Corn and H. L. Freeman were the first to project the plan for the establishment of Cameron Institute, which, organized in 1887, is now known as Missouri Wesleyan College. Mr. Corn was the first secretary of the board for that school and later was made the treasurer.
The three brothers, James, William, and Silas Corn, all came to Mis- souri about the same time. James came shortly after 1865 and later
