"Because of his intense patriotism and his great love for the flag of his adopted country, The United States, the family of Patrick Darby had Mr. E. C. Stammerjohn, the Boonville florist design and arrange a beautiful flag emblem of flowers for the funeral.

"Shamrock Dairy Farm" comprises 53 acres of land within the city limits of Boonville. The residence is a modern structure, built upon the highest point of the farm, and overlooking the city. Robert Morton, father of Wallace L. Morton, was a market gardener and horticulturist and his garden and orchard were famed throughout the county. Wallace L. Morton has been engaged in the dairy business for the past several years and, at the time of this writing in 1919, he has a herd of 25 head of Jer- sey cattle, which he has himself raised on "Shamrock Dairy Farm". A silo, 12x30 feet, has been erected on the place and Mr. Morton usually keeps from 20 to 25 acres of the farm in pasture land. He has an up-to- date milkhouse, where the milk is cared for in a sanitary manner and he delivers bottled milk to his customers twice daily in the summers and once daily in the winters.
April 22, 1917, Wallace L. Morton was united in marriage with Dora Sloan, of Boonville, a daughter of Robert and Mary (Mudd) Sloan, the father, a native of Kentucky and the mother, of Illinois, both now resi- dents of Boonville township.

At the time of this writing, in 1919, Mr. Morton had cut down a tree, an old, historic oak, connected with stories of the Civil War in Cooper County. Two confederates, on the then newly opened road near Boon- ville, saw a body of Federals approaching and to escape capture the two climbed the oak tree, growing on the Morton farm. The Federals camped near the tree, in which the Confederates were obliged to remain one day and one night, before they could make their escape. The tree has now passed into history as all that remains to remind one of the tales of other days is the spot where it grew and the six cords of wood into which it has been cut.

Robert S. Roe, a member of one of the real pioneer families of this section of Missouri, and one of the best known and most substantial farm- ers in Cooper County, is the owner of an excellent farm in Palestine town- ship. He was born in this county on a pioneer farm in Pilot Grove town- ship, Jan. 18, 1858, son of Robert and Frances (Harrelson) Roe, the latter of whom also was born in this county, and both of whom were representa- tives of families which had settled here in the early days.
Robert Roe was born in Caroline County, Md., Feb. 27, 1815, and was but 10 years of age when his parents, Samuel and Elizabeth (Leith) Roe, came to Missouri from Virginia in 1825 and located in Cooper County. Two years later, in 1827, Samuel Roe entered a tract of land from the Government on the site now occupied by the town of Pilot Grove, and there established his home, spending there the rest of his life, one of the substantial and influential pioneers. Samuel Roe was born in Scotland, Jan. 17, 1788, and died at his home in this county, May 26, 1878, at the age of 91 years. He was twice married. His first wife, Elizabeth Leith, was born in England, March 30, 1794, and died in this county, Dec. 17, 1826, about a year after the family located here. To that union were born five children, of whom Robert was the eldest. Following the death of the mother of these children, Samuel Roe married Sarah Shaw, who was born Jan, 18, 1795, and died in 1868. To that union four children were born. In 1817, Samuel Roe moved from Maryland to Virginia, his son, Robert, then being but two years of age, and it was thus that the latter had lived in two States before coming to Missouri with his parents in 1825. He grew to manhood on the home farm in the Pilot Grove set- tlement, and after his marriage established his home in Henry County, Mo. near Calhoun.
