Luther Edward Majors, well known and prosperous farmer of Sniabar township, has the unique distinction of having been the youngest freighter to accompany an overland freight train across the plains. He did this when but 14 years of age, a full-fledged mule driver, in 1864, at a time when crossing the plains was deemed unsafe on account of Indian trou- bles, and an inevitable war with the redmen was brewing.


Mr. Majors was born in Cass County, Sept. 2, 1850, but has resided in Jackson County since 1872, and is thus rightly classed with the old


719


HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY


settlers of the county. He was a son of Samuel Majors, a native of Ken- tucky.


Samuel Majors was born in 1818, and died on May 1, 1894. He was a son of John Majors, a Kentucky pioneer, whose father was Col. Thomas Majors, a Tennessean, who served as coloned in the Revolutionary War, and was of English parentage. Samuel Majors left Kentucky and came to Cass County, Mo., in 1839. He was there married to Octavia Nelson, who was born in Kentucky, a daughter of Reuben Nelson, also a pioneer in Cass County. Mrs. Octavia Majors was born in 1818, and died in 1875. Mr. Majors lived in Cass County until 1872, when he moved to Jackson County and purchased the Jacob Gregg farm. He became a large land owner. During his later years he lived among his children, and died in Cass County, near Freeman. He was the father of four children, as fol- low: John, living near Freeman, Cass County; Luther Edward, subject of this review; Samuel, living at 4171% Hardesty street, Kansas City ; and Sarah, deceased.


Seized with the spirit of adventure, when but 14 years of age, Luther E. Majors joined a freighting oufit, in May, 1865, as it started from Westport, en route to Fort Laramie. The wagon train was organized at Shawneetown, but waited for another train to come up from Santa Fe. The wagons were loaded on the levee at Leavenworth, Kan., and the cat- tle were herded on the old penitentiary yards. Sixty-five wagons were in this large cavalcade, which was operated by Bryant and Benard. Young Majors was a driver. Without mishap the train reached Fort Laramie, and started on the return trip, arriving at Leavenworth on Sept. 1, 1865. On the homeward bound trip they passed the Horse Creek battle ground, soon after a battle with the Indians, and young Majors saw dead bodies still lying on the ground.


He returned to his home and farmed on the home place until he came to Jackson County, in 1872. Mr. Majors' first home in this county was on the Jake Gregg place, purchased by his father. In 1880, he pur- chased his present farm, and has prospered as a result of tireless indus- try and good financial management. He and his son, Robert E. Majors, own together, 311.5 acres, upon which are located two bearing apple orchards, one of which is 15 acres, and the other seven acres, and both of which were planted and have been cared for by Mr. Majors, and are now yielding excellent crops of fruit.


L. E. Majors was married in Cass County, in 1871, to Miss Eva Akings, who was born in Cass County in 1856, a daughter of John

Majors is a bachelor, owns a farm of 84 acres and is in charge of the Majors farm. Mrs. Jennie Vosburgh lives near Mt. Washington, and has an infant son, Richard V.


Mr. Majors and his son, Robert E., are Democrats and take an active interest in county politics. Both are popular and influential in eastern Jackson County, and are highly esteemed. The only civic position which Mr. Majors has ever held was that of census enumerator of Blue Springs precinct, in 1890.

George W. Bennett came to Jackson County in 1867 and settled on a farm near Independence. After remaining there two years he moved to Prairie township, where he successfully followed farming and stock rais- ing on the same place for over 50 years.

James Byron Mckeever, late well known farmer of Brooking town- ship, was born in Baltimore, Md., in 1838, and died at his home in Jack- son township, March 7, 1917. He was a son of Isaac and Sarah (St. John) McKeever, the former of whom was a native of Scotland, the latter of Baltimore. Isaac Mckeever was a millwright by trade, and erected many water power mills in the State of Maryland during his career.


James B. Mckeever was reared and educated in his native city, and became a bookkeeper. He was married in 1863 to Miss Sarah J. Storms, who was born March 19, 1841, on a farm located on the border line of Maryland and Pennsylvania. She is a daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Trump) Storms, both natives of Pennsylvania, of old Pennsylvania Ger- man stock. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. McKeever moved to Cecil County, Md., where James B. engaged in merchandising from 1866 to 1868. In 1868 they came to Independence with the intention of locating on a farm. After a stay of 16 days in Independence they moved to their newly purchased farm in Brooking township. They first bought 40 acres, which presumably had a house on it. After moving in the house and


722


HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY


living there for a few months, they discovered that the 40 on which they were living was not really their own, through information imparted by a kind neighbor. They thereupon went to the city and bought another 40 at public sale. Mr. Mckeever soon erected a residence, which is still the home of his wife and son. The next purchase was of 80 acres, and the last purchase was nine acres, making in all over 170 acres in the Mc- Keever home place. The farm is devoted to general farming and dairy- ing; 10 to 12 cows being milked on the place, which is in charge of Har- vey W. Mckeever.


To James Byron and Elizabeth Mckeever were born five children, as follow: Charles Wesley, Ella Eugenie, Harvey W., Emma Lee, and Addie. Charles Wesley Mckeever has lived in Idaho for the past 30 years. He married Ella Dowdney, and has three children, Wallace, Harry, and Mabel. Ella Eugenie is the wife of Lee Dehoney, of Raytown, and has three children, Byron, who served in the National Army, and saw service in France with the A. E. F., and Alberta and Ethel M. Harvey W.

The St. Johns, ancestors of the McKeevers on the paternal side, were of Scotch-Irish descent, who came from the north of Ireland to America in 1792, and were a prominent family who settled in Baltimore. Mrs. Mckeever has an interesting relic, a saber in good state of preservation, which was carried by one of the St. Johns many years ago in one of the wars which was waged between England and Scotland. The late James Byron Mckeever was a member of the Baptist church.


Alfred Hewitt Cole .- Overlooking the great and growing Kansas City in the western part of Brooking township, is the pretty country estate of Alfred Hewitt Cole, a native of Jackson County. The Cole farm borders on the city limits of Kansas City, and is devoted to general farming and dairying. This farm consists of 60 acres, and has been the home of Mr. Cole for the past 42 years. Mr. Cole was born on an adjoining farm, Sept. 16, 1852, and is a son of Alfred and Harriet (Blevins) Cole, the former a native of Tennessee, who came to Jackson County in 1843. He entered government land, cleared away the trees and underbrush, and built up an estate, comprising 320 acres, a good part of which is now within the cor- porate limits of Kansas City. He died in the fall of 1854. Mrs. Harriet


723


HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY


Cole died July 10, 1876. In the fall of 1873, in pursuance of Order No. 11, Mrs. Cole took her family to Nebraska, where they remained until the close of the Civil War, in 1865. There were seven children born to Alfred and Harriet Cole, as follow: Jackson, died in the spring of 1861; William- died in 1854; James, deceased; Jesse, died on A. H. Cole's place, Dec. 25, 1915; Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, died in Colorado; Mrs. Celia Cole, lives near Stillwell, in Johnson County, Kan .; and Alfred Hewitt, of this review.


The first school which Alfred Cole attended was a frame structure with slab benches, made from splitting a tree trunk and hewing one side, and fitting it with pegs. A flat plank was nailed against the wall, and this served for a writing desk for all the pupils. When very young, A. H. Cole went to work, the father being dead, all the boys of the family had to do their shares of the farm work as they were able. In 1860, he set up corn shocks with his brother, Jesse, in the field, and both boys worked from daylight until dark, there being no limit to the number of hours a boy or man should work in those days. He and his brother, Jesse, took charge of the farm, which their mother had practically paid for after the father's death, and in time bought out the other heirs. After his mar- riage, in 1877, Mr. Cole lived in a log house until he had erected his present home.


Mr. Cole was married in 1877 to Miss Catherine Stapp, who was born in Kentucky in 1855, and is a daughter of Washington Stapp, who was an early settler of Jackson County. Seven children were born to this marriage, six of whom are living, as follow: Charles C., lives two miles east of Raytown; Alfred, Raytown, Mo .; Mrs. Dollie Cassell, lives one mile north of Raytown; Mrs. Bertie Lane, lives three-fourths of a mile east; Frank and Beatrice, at home.
