E. A. Carr .- The best improved "eighty" in northeastern Jackson County, is the concensus of opinion given in regard to the Carr place in Fort Osage township, south of Buckner. This farm is devoted to the rais- ing and feeding of livestock, and Mr. Carr has owned it since 1895. The farm is improved with a handsome eight-room residence, modern in every respect, which he erected in the fall of 1911. A basement runs under- neath the residence. A large lawn, shaded by fine trees, fronts the house and everything is in spick and span condition. A large barn, 30 x 36 feet, and sheds erected in 1916 capable of sheltering 80 to 90 head of cattle, show the same care as the residence. Mr. Carr keeps on hand at all times from 30 to 50 head of cattle, 100 head of sheep, and from 125 to 150 head of hogs, of the Poland China breed. At the present time he is fattening 170 hogs for the market.

A. Carr came west in search of a permanent home and fortune in 1885, without funds. He located in Jackson County, and for the first 12 years of his residence here he was employed at farm labor for $17.00 per month. He saved his money, and purchased his farm of 80 acres, upon which he has erected valuable improvements. This farm is one of the most productive in the county, and the land has been known to produce 80 bushels of corn to the acre. A pumping system carries water to any and every part of the farm, and it is undoubtedly the most conveniently arranged and best equipped farm plant in Jackson County. It is conceded that the Carr farm is worth around $500 an acre.
Mr. Carr was married in 1897 to Ida May Botts, who was born in Jackson County in 1876, and is a daughter of Romulus and Lena (Pearson) Botts, the latter of whom is living in Buckner, and the former is de- ceased.

George W. Hagan, a well known and successful farmer and stock breeder of Prairie township, Jackson County, is a native of this county and a son of one of the early pioneers and early day plainsmen of this section. He was born at Westport, which is now a part of Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 18, 1864. His parents were William and Sedalia (Wells) Hagan and he was the eighth in the order of birth of a family of 17 children, 10 of whom are now living.
William Hagan was born near Crabtree, Ky., May 15, 1829. In 1847, when he was about 18 years of age, he came to Missouri and settled near Lees Summit. He was a man who possessed the strong pioneer spirit of adventure and saw much of the West in the early days. He made a trip across the plains prior to the Civil War and two trips afterwards, serving as wagon master of the train. He shot a number of buffaloes during his trips across the plains. He was forced to leave his place during the Civil War on account of Order No. 11, but after the war returned to his farm, where he resided until 1892, when he moved to Lees Summit, where he died Nov. 13, 1916 as the result of an accident on the railroad crossing. On account of defective hearing, he failed to hear an approaching train, by which he was struck and died 13 days later. He had a very successful career and at the time of his death was the owner of 320 acres of land. He was a stanch Democrat during his active career and took a keen inter- est in public affairs. Sedalia Wells Hagan, mother of George W. Hagan, was born in Lee County, Va., May 18, 1831 and died in Jackson County, March 27, 1912.
George W. Hagan was reared on his father's farm in Prairie town- ship and received his education in the district schools of Prairie town- ship and the Lees Summit High School. In early life, he became familiar with the details of farming and stock raising and when 21 years of age began farming on his own account on rented land. He continued to oper- ate rented land until his father's death, in 1916, when he inherited 40 acres of the home place, which he has since operated and upon which he has made extensive improvements, later buying 40 acres adjoining the estate. His home is a modern house with electric lights and equipped with hot and cold running water. Mr. Hagan also owns 80 acres of land in Virginia, located 50 miles west of Washington, D. C.
Mr. Hagan gives special attention to breeding pure bred Jersey cat- tle and has been successfully engaged in this field of animal husbandry for the past 27 years and during the course of that time he has sold a great many head of pure bread Jersey cattle, his stock always commanding a

high price. He began the breeding of Jersey cattle on a small scale in 1896, when he bought a pure bred Jersey cow "Queen Signal C". This animal was brought from Kentucky and owned by George Shawhan of Jackson County. In 1899, Mr. Hagan bought another pure bred Jersey cow, "Laura Cheiffoo", which was also brought from Kentucky in 1898. This was the beginning of Mr. Hagan's breeding industry, which has proven very satisfactory and profitable.
April 20, 1887, George Hagan was united in marriage with Virginia L. Prather, who was born in Lawrence, Kan. and reared from the age of one year in Cass County, Mo. She is a daughter of Laban A. and Frances (Embery) Prather, natives of Virginia, and both now deceased. To Mr. and Mrs. Hagan have been born the following children: Thetis, married J. A. McDaniel, and they reside in Prairie township; Ruth married Leland Dillman, Richmond, Ind .; Juliet, married Lester Mathias, Kansas City, Mo .; and George, who was born June 26, 1896, resides at home with his parents.

He was born in Montgomery County, Va., in 1851, and accompanied his parents, John D. and Susan Jane (Fisher), to Jackson County, Mo., in 1859, land- ing from the steamboat Isabella, Sept. 15, 1859.
During the ensuing winter the family lived on a place one mile south of Levasy. In March, 1860, John D. Ryan settled on the William Isch place, where they resided until the burning of the home, in March, 1863. Then they moved to a place two and a fourth miles northwest of Levasy, where the father died, June 14, 1863. Mrs. Susan J. Ryan was born in 1828, and died in 1867.

798
HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY
1864 they returned to the county, and settled on the Dr. Black farm, two miles west of Levasy. In 1866 they settled on the William Hanley farm. In 1868 they removed to Lafayette County, and when the family ties were broken by the death of the mother, Charles W. Ryan began doing for himself, and hired out at farm labor. Mr. Ryan worked at farm labor until he was 23 years of age, and in 1874 he rented a farm for seven years, his sister serving as his housekeeper. In 1882, he went to Colorado, and remained there for a year. In 1894, he bought his first farm of 60 acres. In 1898, he purchased Fish Island, in the Missouri River, consisting of 530 acres, and farmed this island until the great flood of 1903. This island is now covered with grasses and timber, and Mr. Ryan leases it out for this purpose. In 1913 he retired from active farming, and in 1917 he leased his island to Walter Phillips, of Buckner. For some time Mr. Ryan served as president of the Bank of Levasy.
He is a Democrat, and formerly took an active part in Democratic politics. He is a member of the Christian church, and is one of the well respected and favorably known citizens of his section of Jackson County.

Greenville Hulse, farmer and real estate dealer, Oak Grove, Mo., is a native of Jackson County. He was born on a farm four miles north of Oak Grove, Sept. 13, 1845. His father was Samuel D. Hulse, who was born in Tennessee, and moved to Kentucky with his parents when a boy. He was reared to young manhood in that State, and came to Missouri about 1833. He first located in Clay County, and in 1840 settled in Snia- bar township, Jackson County, where he became the owner of nearly 600 acres of land.
The elder Hulse was married in Missouri, Oct. 15, 1840, to Jane B., a daughter of Griffith Dickerson, a native of Virginia, and a Jackson County pioneer. Samuel D. Hulse was on his way to Missouri on board of a river steamboat, near Wayne City, during the year of the "shooting stars," in 1833.

Hulse died July 9, 1883. Mrs. Jane B. Hulse was born Feb. 13, 1819 and died in 1916.
The lure of the great plains drew Greenville Hulse during his younger days, and he became a plains freighter, making trips to the far west in 1863, 1864, 1865 and 1866. His first trip took him to Denver, Colo., in the employ of A. & P. Byrum, the wagon master of the train being John S. Renick. In 1864 he made a trip to Salt Lake City with William Livesay, having spent the previous winter in herding cattle on the Arkansas River. After spending the winter on the Arkansas River, near Pueblo, Colo., he returned to Atchison, Kan., and the train was outfitted there. When they arrived at Plumb Creek, on the Platte River, they learned that In- dians had captured a train of nine wagons. This caused he and his com- rades to redouble their vigilance to guard against a surprise attack from the Indians, and they never relaxed their vigilance night nor day during the remainder of the trip. During 1865, Mr. Hulse freighted to Denver, Julesburg, and other points in Colorado. In 1866, he became part of an outfit on the Smoky River, which was hauling supplies to the government forts. On the Crazy Woman's Fork on Powder River, Indians stampeded
