John W. Douglass, a retired farmer and stockman, was born in Lathrop Township, Dec. 7, 1849, son of John and Mary Ann (Brown) Douglass, the father having come to this county in 1837. They reared a large family, of which John W., the subject of this sketch, was the second child. He was reared on his father's large estate, and attended the first school in the township, his teacher being "Governor" Charles Ingles, a lawyer from the East. Mr. Douglass afterward attended University of Missouri in 1870.
Mr. Douglass was descended from Patrick Douglass, of Scotch-Irish blood. The Scottish trait of thrift seeming paramount, he always showed an unflagging zeal applied to any task in hand. This quality of zealous thrift was not shown alone in his own immediate business, but his farm home being near the town of Lathrop, he was always one of the foremost men on any constructive plan for its improvement. An old settler here, a man of unquestioned integrity, and of long business experience, was heard to say, "If I had a project to put forth in this town, whether build- ing or any other improvement, I would rather get John Douglass behind it than any man I know." The town needed a new hotel back in the nineties. Mr. Douglass was a leading spirit in the undertaking and it was built. Mr. Douglass was largely instrumental in building another important brick building in Lathrop.
When the old Christian Church, built in 1874, became inadequate and entirely out of date, again Mr. Douglass rose to the situation, applied his stirring initiative, gave untiring labor through the summer of 1915, and at the same time the heaviest contribution in cash. The church was fin- ished in one year and was dedicated June 1, 1916.
Lathrop school building has outgrown its usefulness as an up-to-date institution, and is the subject of much discussion. At a banquet held there last winter in the interest of community welfare, Mr. Douglass made an offer of $25,000 toward a new building providing the community bring up $75,000. He is also interested in good roads, and in July, 1922, he and Joe T. Doherty went before the road commission at Jefferson City in the. interest of the road along the eastern border line of the county, between Excelsior Springs and Cameron.

Mrs. Douglass' grandchildren are Charles, Raymond and Dorothy Young.
Mr. Douglass was instrumental in securing land for the cemetery in 1904. He is known as a man of large land holdings. His father gave him 80 acres in 1874 one mile south of Lathrop. This he sold and bought land one and one-half miles from Lathrop in 1877. Here he lived until he rented a farm of 560 acres and moved one-quarter mile south of Lathrop in 1889. In 1894 he bought the Gordon farm of 1,000 acres, north of Lathrop, which is now owned by the three children, divided into farms for each. He bought the Dougherty farm of 1,100 acres, eight miles west of Liberty, in 1904, and the 300-acre Cooper farm in 1904, his mother's old home place of 217 acres in 1909, Brooking and Peercy farms of 345 acres in 1910, Herman Heck farm of 305 acres in 1916.
Mr. Douglass became a member of the Christian Church in 1894 and has ever since been a regular attendant and active in service, and is one of the elders, having served as deacon many years. He has two brothers, D. S. and George Douglass, and one sister, Mrs. Anna Rogers, all living at Lathrop, and Thomas Douglass, Leabo, Kan., is another brother.
Mrs. Douglass told a little story of her childhood that has very in- teresting historical connection. When very small she was standing upon the stile block of her home at Jacksonville, Ill., when General Grant rode by with his troops. He stopped, kissed the tiny maiden and rode on to his hard, brusque duty as man of war, no doubt endearing himself to the soldiers following with his little act of tenderness.
The Douglass family is hospitable and sociable. The daughters are accomplished and attractive, having graduated at Christian College, Co- lumbia, Mo., and altogether they are allies of the progressive interests of the town, including the P. E. O. as well as the church work. Gordon graduated from Lathrop High School in 1916. He attended Missouri Uni- versity following his high school work.
