Mr. Felton is a Democrat. Mr. and Mrs. Felton are members of Sts. Peter and Pauls Catholic Church of Boonville and Mr. Felton is fraternally affiliated with the Knights of Columbus.
Heinrich Gronstedt, one of the well known and substantial farmers of Clarks Fork township, was born at Nordlengen, Hillscheim, Hanover, Aug. 16, 1853, and remained in his native country until he was 27 years of age when he came to America, arriving on this side Nov. 4, 1880. The following winter and the next spring he spent in Hancock County, Ill., and then, in June, 1881, came to Missouri and located in Cooper County, where he ever since has resided.
In 1884, the year of his marriage, Mr. Gronstedt bought 80 acres of land in Prairie Home township and has since been farming there. In 1905, he bought more land in Clarks Fork township and in 1910 bought another tract and now owns 260 acres. Since buying this farm, Mr. Gronstedt has improved the place, including a new farm house, two barns and other buildings. He carries on general farming and stock raising.
Nov. 5, 1884, Heinrich Gronstedt was married to Margaret Theiss, who was born near Jamestown, Mo., and who died at her home in Clarks Fork township, Oct. 18, 1899, and is buried in the Lutheran cemetery at Clarks Fork.

army and after preliminary training on this side was ordered in Nov., 1918, with his command to sail for overseas service. The vessel on which he and his comrades sailed was three days at sea when a wireless message brought the tidings that an armistice had been signed and that the war thus virtually was over. Not long after the command reached European shores, preparations were begun for its return and in December he was nustered out and returned home. William Gronstedt, the fourth son, enlisted for service in the World War Sept. 19, 1917, and was attached to the 354th Infantry, with which he confidently expected to get into the overseas service, but the later discovery on the part of the medical exam- iners of a slight physical fault due to an injury to one of his hands re- ceived in boyhood days resulted in his discharge on an examiner's cer- tificate of disability in the following December. Mr. Gronstedt and his sons are members of the Lutheran Church.
Frank S. Sauter, vice-president of the Boonville National Bank, Boon- ville, is one of the best known and successful men in central Missouri and a member of the substantial Sauter family of Cooper County. He was born in Germany in June. 1858, and is a son of Matthew and Rosa Sauter, former well known residents of Boonville, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this volume in connection with the history of the family.
Frank S. Sauter was but litte over a year old when his parents landed from a Missouri River steamboat at Boonville in October, 1859. Mr. Sauter was reared on his fathers farm in Cooper County and became interested with his brothers in the mercantile business under the name of Sauter Mercantile Company. Mr. Sauter applied himself to farming for a number of years and in 1895 engaged in banking. He organized the Farmers Stock Bank at Blackwater, Mo., and served as cashier of this bank for 12 years. In 1907 he returned to Boonville and a short time later he organized the Citizens Trust Company of Boonville.

HISTORY OF COOPER COUNTY
ential citizen whose generosity to his home city will long be remembered. Colonel Elliot was a native Missourian and a son of one of the first native born pioneers of this section of the State.
His father, Col. Newton G. Elliot, was born in Howard County, Mo., March 3, 1812, and died Jan. 3, 1877. He was a son of John Elliot a Virginian who removed to Kentucky with his father. After his marriage to Polly Glasgow, he set out for Missouri, he and his bride riding horse- back the entire distance, in 1811. John Elliot subsequently took part in the Indian wars of the period from 1812 to 1815 and founded a home on the then frontier. Col. Newton G. Elliot was reared in Howard County, and became prominent in the official life of this section of Mis- souri. In 1837 he served as justice of the peace. He served as a member of the Missouri State Legislature in 1852. Prior to this he had filled the office of sheriff of the county from 1848 to 1852. In 1838 he had been elected captain of the company organized to expel the Mormans from western Missouri and became commandant of the organization. In Octo- ber, 1839, he was elected major of the 14th Regiment of State Militia. In 1840 he was commissioned lieutenant colonel of this regiment. He became interested in railroad building and in 1869 he became a director of the Tebo and Neosho railroad, now the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad. In 1872 he became a director of the Boonville Bridge Company.
Col. Newton G. Elliot's first wife was Elizabeth Wilkerson. His second wife was Martha W. Stewart, a daughter of Hugh and Elizabeth Stewart.
John S. Elliot was born March 16, 1844, and was reared and edu- cated in Howard County. He completed his education in Central College at Fayette, Mo. His first business experience was in the stock business with his father until 1869. The opportunity then presented itself for him to engage in railroad construction work as a contractor. He took the contract for the building of the Tebo and Neosho railroad from Moberly to Fayette and completed the work in 1872. The railroad com- pany was in need of large numbers of ties for further building and repairs to the road bed. Mr. Elliot took the contract for supplying the railroad company (The M. K. & T.) with ties. This contract lasted over a num- ber of years and resulted in considerable profit to Colonel Elliot. He made his home in Boonville and identified himself with the growth and well being of the city. He engaged in the banking business in 1881 and later became president of the Commercial Bank, identifying himself with the organization of this bank in 1883. He served as president of this
475
HISTORY OF COOPER COUNTY
bank until he was succeeded by the late Jacob F. Gmelich in 1888. Colonel Elliot was one of the organizers of the Boonville Water Works Company, which gave to the city its water supply. He served as presi- dent of this company during its existence. He was largely interested in Boonville real estate and in Central Missouri farm lands and left a con- siderable estate at his death. March 11, 1915.
November 15, 1882, he was married to Miss Laura Speed, a daughter of William P. Speed, born in 1816, came to Cooper County in 1840 and died in this county June 27, 1863. The wife of William P. Speed was Sarah Ardell Hutchison, before her marriage. She was a daughter of Col. Jack Hutchison, a Cooper County pioneer. Mrs. Laura Speed Elliot departed this life in 1912. Grief over the loss of his wife caused the death of Colonel Elliot three years later. One son survives: John Speed Elliot.
Colonel Elliot was a democrat who took a considerable interest in county and state politics more on account of a love of the political game than any other motive, inasmuch as he had no aspirations for public office. He was a Mason, this lodge having charge of the obsequies con- ducted at the grave of this distinguished citizen. Colonel Elliot was kind hearted, liberal to a high degree and ever ready to extend the hand of charity or to give freely of his means to assist his home city. One of the notable gifts to the city of Boonville was the "Hayden" lot upon which was erected the Laura Speed Elliot High School so named in memory of Mrs. Laura Speed Elliot.
Herman Schnack, retired, and living comfortably in his beautiful residence at 600 East High street, Boonville, is one of the best known of the substantial and wealthy citizens of Boonville. Mr. Schnack was born at Hornerkirchen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, Oct. 15, 1849. He is a son of Christian Frederick and Magdalene (Pingel) Schnack, who lived all of their lives in their native village. Herman Schnack was not contented to remain in his native land, however, and accordingly, he left the old home of the family on May 29, 1869, aboard ship from Hamburg, Ger- many. After landing at Castle Garden, New York, he came directly to Boonville and thence to the Clarks Fork neighborhood in the southeastern part of Cooper County where he was employed as farm laborer for the next two years. He then went to St. Louis and was employed in that city until 1871. After a period of employment in the sawmills of Wayne County, Mo., he returned to St. Louis and was employed there until 1873 when he returned to Boonville. From 1888 until 1918, Mr. Schnack was
476
HISTORY OF COOPER COUNTY
engaged in the retail liquor business in Boonville and was very successful from a financial standpoint. Mr. Schnack erected one of the finest brick residences in Boonville and is owner of the brick building in which the Manion & Muntzel clothing store is located.
December 13, 1877, Herman Schnack and Wilhelmina Ohlendorf were united in marriage. Mrs. Wilhelmina Schnack was born in Clarks Fork township, Oct. 7, 1858, and is a daughter of Ferdinand Ohlendorf, a sketch of whom is given in this volume. The following children were born of this marriage: Wilhelmina, deceased wife of F. J. Muntzel; Emma, wife of William L. Koenig, automobile dealer, Boonville; Elsie, wife of Harry T. Manion, of the New Clothing Store, Boonville.
Mr. Schnack is a republican and is well informed, genial, kindly dis- posed, and is one of the city's liberal and progressive citizens who has ever been ready to lend assistance in counsel and money to advance the prestige and growth of his home city.
Fritz Sieckman, who died at his farm home in the Overton neighbor- hood in Saline township in the spring of 1913, was a native of Germany. He was born in 1855 and was but a boy when he came to this country with his parents, the family first locating at Washington, Mo., and moved from there to Warren County, where they settled on the farm and there the parents spent the remainder of their lives. Mr. Sieckman married in Warren County and three years later, in 1890, moved from there to Osage County, where he remained until 1901, when he moved with his family to Cooper County and bought the farm in Saline township on which his widow and the younger children of the family are still living. His orig- inal purchase there was of 130 acres, but he bought an adjoining tract and at the time of his death was the owner of 190 acres. There he died April 22, 1913, being then 58 years of age, and is buried in the Clayton cemetery. Mr. Sieckman was a member of the Evangelical Church, as is his widow, and their children were reared in that faith.
After her husband's death, Mrs. Sieckman assumed the management of the home place, kept her family together, carried out necessary im- provements on the place and during the recent absence of her elder son in the United States naval service she bravely assumed the double burden of management thus laid on her shoulders and in times of scarcity of help pluckily, took up the most pressing out-door labors, the care of stock and such other duties as thus devolved upon her.
Mrs. Sieckman was born, Fredericka Wehmeyer, in Germany, in 1867, a daugher of Fritz and Charlotte (Erske) Wehmeyer, the former a vet-

eran of the German army, who came with their family to the United States in 1882 and to Missouri, locating on a farm in Warren County, where in 1887, five years after her arrival here, the daughter Fredericka was married to Fritz Sieckman. Mrs. Sieckman's parents both are living at Hermann, Mo. They have five children, those besides Mrs. Sieckman being Mrs. Caroline Vahrenburg, of Warren County; Mrs. Augusta Vieth, of Kingfisher, Okla .; Mrs. Emma Schwartz, of Warren County, and Charles Wehmeyer, of Boone County.
To Fritz and Fredericka (Wehmeyer) Sieckman eight children were born, namely: Ida, born Feb. 21, 1890, wife of Henry Kosfeldt, of Overton ; Lena, March 22, 1892, wife of Gilbert Korte, of Boonville; Edward, April 14, 1894, who died at the age of 23 years and is buried at the Clayton ceme- tery; Otto, Feb. 5, 1896, who has but recently returned home from more than a year's service in the United States navy in the World War; Alma, Dec. 17, 1897; Laurence, Feb. 4, 1900 ; Martin, July 16, 1903, and Lorena, Aug. 5, 1911. Otto Sieckman, the sailor son, enlisted Dec. 5, 1917, at St. Louis. He was sent to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station at Chi- cago and after three weeks of training there was transferred to Phila- delphia, whence a week later he was sent to New York and thence to New- port, where he was assigned to the U. S. S. "Canandaigua", a mine layer attached to Base 18 at Inverness, Scotland, and on that vessel was engaged in laying mines in the North Sea from May until the signing of the armistice, continuing attached to Base 18 until Dec. 9, when he was trans- ferred to the U. S. S. "Arkansas" at Portland, England, and with that vessel formed part of the convoy which went out to meet the "George Washington", which was bearing President Wilson to France to attend the Versailles peace conference, and thus helped escort the President to Brest. He left Brest Dec. 14 and on the 26th arrived at New York, where he was transferred to the receiving ship "New York". Not long after- ward he was transferred to the mine-sweeper "Osprey" and served on that vessel until his discharge about a month later. He arrived home Jan. 25, 1919, and is again looking after the affairs of the home farm, having many a thrilling and interesting tale to tell of his service in the submarine zone during the closing months of the war. One of Mrs. Sieck- man's nephews, Fritz Vahrenburg, also rendered service during the time of this country's participation in the World War with the American Expe- ditionary Forces in Europe

Dr. Arthur J. Smith was born Oct. 21, 1875 and received his educa- tion in the public and high schools of his native city. Entering Wash- ington University at St. Louis, he graduated from the medical depart- ment in 1901. Doctor Smith immediately began the practice of his pro- fession at Boonville. In June, 1913, he enlisted in the Missouri National Guard. On April 30, 1918, Doctor Smith was commissioned first lieu- tenant in the Medical Corps of the National Army. Previous to this he had served with his command on the Mexican border from August, 1916 to June 5, 1917, having been mustered out of the service at Fort Riley. Since his second enlistment Lieutenant Smith was stationed at Camp Travis, Texas. On May 20, 1919, he embarked at New Orleans en route to the Panama Canal Zone, where he will be stationed. He is a skilled physician and his services are appreciated and valued by his superior officers in the National Army. Keen of intellect, well informed, pro- gressive, and studious, Doctor Smith has had a successful career thus far with a bright future before him. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have given all of their children the advantage of a good education and a training for some profession. They have 14 grandchildren. On April 30, 1918 this aged and worthy couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Doctor Smith served for three years in Mullanphy Hospital in St. Louis and was assistant associate surgeon at St. Joseph Centenary Hospital from 1902 to 1916.
To digress and go back to the beginning of the history of the Smith family in America, it is well to state that the Smith family set sail from Havre, France, and landed a New Orleans. They traveled for six weeks on the road from their native city of Saint Wendel to Havre. The name of the vessel which carried them to this country was the "George Hud- dlebut." They were 42 days upon the ocean. The Frankens came across the Atlantic in a steamship, which they boarded at Antwerp, Holland, and in 10 days voyaging landed at New York. After 12 years' residence on the farm the Franken family moved to Boonville. Two of the sons of the family fought in the Civil War on the Union side.
Anthony Smith, on his westward trip, crossed the Missouri River at St. Joseph on April 15, 1864 and arrived at his destination in the West on July 15, 1864. He returned to his home in Missouri by the Nicara- guan route, landing at Greytown, crossing the Isthmus and again took ship at San Juan, thence north.
Mr. Smith is a Republican. He and his family are devout Catholics and are members of the Sts. Peter and Paul's Catholic Church.
