HISTORY OF COOPER COUNTY
nine miles southeast of Boonville and four miles southwest of Overton in Saline township. Mr. Honerbrink purchased this country place in 1905 and since acquiring the ownership of the farm he has partly fenced it and has added a barn, 42x54 feet, and other buildings, and he has improved the residence. The Honerbrink farm is well watered by a stream, which crosses the place, and several good springs.
March 19, 1905, George C. Honerbrink and Christina Brueckner, of Saline township, were married. Mrs. Honerbrink is a daughter of George and Caroline (Metz) Brueckner. She was born Aug. 12, 1882. George Brueckner was a native of Germany and he immigrated to America with his parents in 1850. He was killed by a stroke of lightning on the Brueck- ner homeplace, June 3, 1895. Mrs. Brueckner was born Aug. 5, 1861, on the farm which is now her home. The deed to her farm was signed by Andrew Jackson. Mrs. Honerbrink has one sister and one brother now living: Mrs. J. C. Farris, of Arkansas; and George, Jr., of Boonville. To George C. and Christina Honerbrink have been born three children: George Carl, Eulah Viola; and Willie Beatrice. Mr. and Mrs. Honerbrink are con- sistent and valued members of the Evangelical Church.
The Honerbrink farm has located upon it an old cemetery, established by Joseph Westbrook, who owned the farm 90 years or more ago. He was the first to be interred in the burial ground and later the different members of his family were laid to rest there. Other pioneers of Cooper County have this spot for their last resting place, among them the Elliot and William Leek families. It is related that Grandmother Cynthia West- brook, who lived on the Honerbrink farm more than a century ago, was accustomed to ride horseback from her home to the principal marketing place in Howard County and that on horseback she would cross the Mis- souri River, when the water was low. The Honerbrink farm is one of the most interesting country places, historically, in Cooper County.

J. H. Stretz received his education in the Catholic school of Boonville. Since attaining maturity, he has been employed in brick manufacturing and he has followed this vocation and bricklaying in Boonville the past 38 years. J. H. Stretz and Louis Gautner have formed a partnership in the business of brick making and they have succeeded Claus Stammerjohn. The firm was established in 1905 and the office is located at the factory, which is on the Missouri, Kansas & Topeka railroad, near the station. The plant has a capacity of 20,000 bricks daily. The firm does a general con- tracting business and has built in Boonville the St. Joseph Hospital, which is 48x102 feet in dimensions ; the pipe factory, the largest factory in the city ; the county infirmary ; and perhaps 100 other buildings. The Boon- ville Brick Company has done much toward pushing Boonville into the front ranks among the leading manufacturing cities of the state and Mr. Stretz and his partner deserve much credit and commendation.
J. H. Stretz was united in marriage with Mittie Edwards and to this union were born the following children: Mrs. Julia Walje, of Sedalia, whose husband is a well-known railroad employe there; Henry, of Boon- ville; Mrs. Rose Taylor, of Kansas City, Mo .; Lawrence, a competent brickmason of Fulton, Mo .; Norbert, who has recently returned from England after serving one year in the United States army, with the Air- craft Construction Company; Ernest, who enlisted in the service of the United States in Jan., 1918, a gunner with the Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun Battalion, homeward bound from France at the time of this writing, in 1919; Mrs. Mary Sonen, of Osawatomie, Kan .; and Ferdinand, who died at the age of 16 years. The mother died in 1888.
In 1899, J. H. Stretz and Mrs. Mary (Edwards) Gantner, of Boon- ville, were married. Mrs. Stretz is a daughter of J. A. and Eva (Potts) Edwards, the former, a late stockdealer of this city, and the latter, now a resident of Rockyford, Col. Mr. Edwards is deceased.

He has proven himself an able and con- scientious official.
Col. Robert L. Harriman, for years recognized as one of the leading live-stock auctioneers in the West, for 20 years a member of the board of directors of the Bank of Bunceton, a member of the firm of Harriman Bros., breeders of Shorthorn cattle, a resident of Bunceton for nearly 35 years, and in many ways actively identified with the growing interests of that section of Cooper County, is a native son of this county. He was born at Pilot Grove, March 19, 1856, son of Dr. William and Caroline (Mayo) Harriman, formerly and for years influential residents of that neighborhood, and whose last days were spent there, their final resting place being in Mt. Vernon Cemetery, which was established on a corner of the old Harriman home place.
Dr. William Harriman was born in New Jersey, the son of a clergy- man, and was reared by two aunts, who brought him up in a bookish atmosphere. He was schooled in both law and medicine, but gave his preference to the latter profession, and as a young man went to Kentucky, where he engaged in the practice of medicine, and where he married Caroline Mayo, a daughter of William and Caroline (Pleasants) Mayo, the latter of whom was a second cousin of Thomas Jefferson, and a lineal descendant of Pocohontas. William Mayo and his wife were natives of Virginia, who moved from Norfolk, Va., to Kentucky, where they reared their family. It was in the latter '40s, and after two children had been born to him and his wife that Dr. William Harriman left Kentucky and came to Missouri with his family, coming up the river with a bunch of negroes, a fine string of thoroughbred horses and jacks and a good small herd of Shorthorn cattle. He landed with his possessions at Boonville, and moved thence to the Pilot Grove neighborhood, where he established his home, and where he became the owner of 2,400 acres of land. Upon
COL. ROBERT L. HARRIMAN

HISTORY OF COOPER COUNTY
locating there, Doctor Harriman re-established himself in the practice of his profession, and soon became widely known as one of the leading phy- sicians of his time in this section of Missouri. He had not been trained to the life of the farm, but his wife was a skilled executive along those lines, and acted as overseer of the place, she and her sons directing the operations of the same, while the Doctor devoted his attention to his practice and his books. On that place, Doctor Harriman and his wife spent the remainder of their lives, useful in all good works thereabout in their day and generation, and their memory is still cherished throughout that neighborhood. They were the parents of eight children, as follows : Dr. William P., a physician, now deceased; Georgianna, also deceased, who was the wife of John F. Rogers, former sheriff of Cooper County ; Isabella, deceased; John H., deceased; Jennie, wife of J. A. Thompson, of Pilot Grove; Col. Robert L .; Regis A., of Pilot Grove, and Caroline, wife of J. D. Mccutcheon, of Pilot Grove.
Reared on the farm on which he was born in the immediate vicinity of Pilot Grove, Robert L. Harriman received his schooling in the Pilot Grove School and in the private school then being conducted at Bunceton by D. R. Cully, and from the days of his boyhood devoted himself to the affairs of the farm, with particular attention to the live-stock breeding operations long carried on there. He married in the fall of 1882, and for some time thereafter made his home on what is now known as the Luray stock farm in Palestine township, and which he owned for five or six years. In 1885, however, he moved to Bunceton for the better attention he could there give to his growing live-stock interests, and has resided since. About 1889 Colonel Harriman began the crying of sales in the vicinity of his home, and it was not long until his success in that line had created a wide demand for his services, this demand presently neces- sitating the limitation of his services to live-stock sales only, and for many years the Colonel has thus been one of the best known live-stock auctioneers in the West. He has long specialized in the crying of sales of Shorthorn cattle and Poland China hogs, and is an acknowledged author- ity in these classes. The Colonel has cried stock sales in no fewer than 12 of the States of the Union, and his operations have carried him as far as Portland, Ore., in which city in one week he sold at auction more than $100,000 worth of stock. Though he is not an advertiser, the Colonel is so widely known in his particular field that during the seasons he finds
1042
HISTORY OF COOPER COUNTY
himself book 40 or 50 sales ahead, and as a measure of the value in which his services are held it is not improper to state that his fee for crying the sales of pure-bred stock is $100 the day.
Colonel Harriman has been twice married. In November, 1882, he was united in marriage to Rosa Stephens, who was born in Kelly town- ship, in 1860, and who died March 9, 1916. She was the daughter of John H. and Margaret (Ewing) Stephens, the former of whom was an extensive landowner and stockman in Kelly township. To that union were born four children, two of whom died in infancy, the others being Louise and Helen. Louise Harriman married W. B. Wallace, a son of T. J. Wallace, a member of one of the old families of Cooper County, and is now living at Boonville. She and her husband have one child, a son, Thomas H. Wallace. Helen Harriman married George W. Robertson, a hardware merchant at Mexico, Mo., and has one child, a son, George Wil- liam Robertson III. On Dec. 26, 1917, Colonel Harriman married Bettie J. Harned, who also was born in this State, daughter of Benjamin and Bettie J. (Bradley) Harned, who are now living on a farm in this county. Benjamin Harned and wife are the parents of 11 children, of whom Mrs. Harriman is the second in order of birth. Colonel and Mrs. Harriman are members of the Presbyterian Church. The Colonel is a democrat. Fraternally, he is affiliated with the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons at Bunceton. The Colonel has for years given his active attention to the general business affairs of his home community, and for 20 years or more has been a member of the board of directors of the Bank of Bunceton. He is a member of the Central Shorthorn Association of Kansas City, and in association with his nephew, Bert Harriman, is connected with the firm of Harriman Bros., of Bunceton, a firm widely known as breeders of pure-bred Shorthorn cattle.
