home place, March 15, 1869, the son of Thomas J. and Hannah R. (Smith) Chapman.
Thomas J. Chapman was born in Randolph County, April 8, 1839, and came to Gentry County in 1850. He settled in Wilson Township on a farm just east of Alanthus Grove, where he lived until his marriage in 1862 to Hannah R. Smith. That year he bought 120 acres of land near his first farm, and continued to reside there for 56 years. He sold his farm and moved to Stanberry, where he remained for eight years.

Hannah R. (Smith) Chapman was the daughter of Pleasant and Thursy (Means) Smith, who came to Wilson Township from Iowa in 1857. Pleas- ant Smith died in 1878 and his remains are buried in the Jennings Ceme- tery. His widow died in Nodaway County in 1901, and her remains are buried at Quinman. Mrs. Chapman has lived near and in Alanthus Grove since 1858, and is familiar with all of the early history of this part of Gen- try County. She recalls quite distinctly the naming of the postoffice of Alanthus Grove by Abraham Enyart, and her father-in-law, E. G. Chap- man, was postmaster during the Civil War. He also served as justice of the peace during that turbulent time. The Chapman family traded at Mount Pleasant, and Dr. Leander Coffey and Lemuel Watkins were two of the early merchants of the community. The mail was brought once a week, a Mr. Partridge carrying it from Maryville to Albany. The social life of the neighborhood centered around the churches. By 1888 both the Christian and the Baptist denominations had buildings; before that date the meetings were held in the school houses. Rev. John Daniels and Reverend Pote were pioneer ministers in this part of Missouri, and Elder Petty and Elder Scott organized the Christian church. Mrs. Chapman recollects well the trying days of the Civil War. Her husband served in the Union Army from Gentry County for the last two years of the war, and prior to that time, was in the Missouri State Militia. Mrs. Chapman now lives at her home in Alanthus Grove. To her union with Thomas J.

nings district for 50 years. He owned 200 acres of land there, and was a successful farmer and stockraiser. His farm was well improved and he raised cattle, mules, horses, hogs, and sheep. In 1919 he sold all of his land in Wilson Township, and now holds 20 acres in Huggins Township and his home at Alanthus Grove.
Henry Chapman was married in 1899 to Lilly Ruch, a daughter of John and Jane Ruch. Mrs. Chapman died five years later leaving the fol- lowing children: Frank Paul, killed in an automobile accident when he was 19 years old; Elsie, married to John E. Dalby of Wilson Township; and a daughter, who died in infancy. Mr. Chapman was married the second time to Florence McCrery, a daughter of Andrew and Mary McCrery, both deceased.

Joseph Lafayette Mccullough, deceased, for sometime a judge of the Criminal Court in Montana, a former official of Gentry County, and a member of the Missouri State Legislature, was a prominent Democrat of his time, and a man known throughout the state for his fearless and intre- pid spirit where the welfare of his community or state was the issue.
Judge McCollough was born in Blount County, Tenn., Oct. 6, 1833, the son of John and Hannah B. McCollough, both of whom died in Tennessee. Joseph L. McCollough was educated in Ewing and Jefferson College, and then came to Missouri. He soon afterwards became engaged in freight- ing to Colorado, and then went to Montana where he became interested in public affairs, and was twice elected to the State Legislature, serving for two regular and one called session. During his term of service he was made the chairman of the Committee on Corporations and was a member of the Judiciary Committee. Because of his unusual record as a member of the legislature, he was elected to the position of judge of the Criminal Court of Montana, but resigned in order to return to Missouri.
For a time after he came back to Gentry County, Judge Mccullough engaged in farming and the practice of law. He was once more called into the service of his community, however, and in 1874 was a candidate for the State Legislature. He was elected by the largest Democratic majority ever polled in Gentry County, and fully justified the hopes of his
871
HISTORY OF DAVIESS AND GENTRY COUNTIES
constituents by his record in the legislature, where he served on the Com- mittee on Retrenchment and Reform, and on several other important legis- lative committees. Judge Mccullough later served as the proscuting at- torney of Gentry County, and in 1904, he was the Democratic nominee for state senator of the First Senatorial District. He made a gallant fight to carry his party to victory, but the Republican landslide of that fall defeat- ed him, and he died two years later on Dec. 22, 1906, at his home in Cooper Township. He was a man, the story of whose life and achievements, be- longs in a volume such as this. Independent in his thinking, courageous in carrying out his enterprises, and unselfish in his desire to advance the great commonwealth which he served, Judge McCollough was the type of man who, by his patriotism and zeal, made possible the development of Missouri.
Joseph L. McCollough was married Nov. 5, 1872, to Anna Crow, born in Lincoln County, Ky., the daughter of M. and Frances (Langdon) Crow, who came from Kentucky in 1855, and settled at Greenwell Ford in Gentry County. Martin Crow died at Gentryville in 1887, and his wife died at Albany in 1862. Judge and Mrs. McCollough moved to the present Mc- Collough farm in 1877, and Mrs. McCollough has continued to live there ever since. Judge and Mrs. McCollough had the following children : Homer, married Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson of Belton, and is a physician in Nevada, Mo .; Charles H., a salesman for the Standard Oil Company in St. Joseph ; Stella, the wife of Charles Rose of Fayette, Idaho; Frances, mar- ried Clarence Depriest of Delta, Colo .; John a lumberman of Rich Hill; and Shannon, now living at home. She attended school at Stanberry, and later was a student in Forest Park College at St. Louis.
A few years ago, Shannon McCollough was advised to go west for her health. She took up a claim of 320 acres of land located 34 miles north- west of Sterling, Colo., where she lived for three years. She still owns this land and expects to make her home in Colorado at some later time. She is enthusiastic about Colorado climate and beauties. Miss McCollough is a writer of marked ability, and has always been interested in literary work. In many ways the ability of her talented father has descended to her.
The McCollough name will always belong in the annals of Missouri. Judge McCollough, as a private citizen, as a well known member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and Knights Templar lodges, as a county official, and as a member of the legislature of his state, was a man known for keenness of intellect and high ideals.
