George W. Thornton, a successful farmer, Hughesville township, is a native son of Pettis County. He was born on the Claycomb place, eight miles north of Sedalia, December 22, 1862, and is a son of Hiram Thornton, born in 1810 and died in 1872. Mr. Thornton was one of the best known of the early settlers of Pettis County. He was a son of Peter Thornton, of Virginia, who migrated to Missouri and settled near Arrow Rock when Hiram Thornton was but a boy. Nelson Cemetery is located on the old Thornton place in Saline County where Hiram Thornton was reared.
Hiram Thorton was married in Saline County to Miss Sophia Turley who was born November 19, 1817, and died August 2, 1876. She was reared on the old Turley farm in Cooper county; the town of Lamine now stands upon the old farm. Sophia Turley was a daughter of Stephen 'Turley, an early pioneer of Missouri. Hiram Thornton came to Pettis County, April 16, 1836, at a time when the population of this county was small and this whole neighborhood was but sparsely settled. He settled on what is now known as the Claycomb place and was one of the first

George W. Thornton was left an orphan at the age of thirteen years and began doing for himself at that age. He made his home with his brother, Benjamin, until he attained the age of seventeen years and then hired out as farm hand for four years. In 1883 he rented land from the Fristoes for one year, and will always kindly remember the fine treat- ment accorded him by Mr. and Mrs. Fristoe, especially the kindness of Mrs. Annie Fristoe, whom he considers one of the finest ladies in the land. They made him one of the family. He then rented 160 acres in Hughesville township. In 1887, he rented the Hutchison place for one year. Then he and his brother Henry Clay formed a partnership and at the solicitation of George W. Crawford, and leased the Crawford farm of 320 acres for three years. This partnership was then dissolved and he then rented 600 acres adjoining the Crawford farm for the next three years.

HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY
In the spring of 1906, Mr. Thornton moved to his present home place consisting of 192.5 acres which he had purchased in 1905. In addition to his own farm he is renting a tract of seventy acres. Mr. Thornton has placed practically all of the substantial improvements on his place and is comfortably fixed. He keeps a herd of high grade Poland China hogs and has sold hogs to the value of $2,500 during 1918, besides having 100 head on the farm at this present writing. He harvested eighty-five acres of wheat in 1918, which yielded a crop which sold for $3,500, and aver- aged twenty bushels to the acre. He has 130 acres for the harvest of 1919 and has specialized in wheat for the past thirty years. Mr. Thorn- ton paid sixty dollars an acre for his farm, now valued at over twice this much, the place being well improved, convenient to a school, located near the end of the rock road from Sedalia, with Hughesville, a convenient shipping and trading point, but one and a half miles to the north.

For the past fifteen years he has been the leading live stock buyer and shipper in this section of Pettis County. His shipments of livestock from this point will aggregate 200 carloads annually, thus doing a business which will run into tens of thousands of dollars each year. He has built up a splendid reputation for honesty, integrity, and reliability which are prime assets in his business dealings and have led his patrons to remain with him in a business capacity and as warm friends from year to year.
On November 8, 1905, W. W. McClure and Miss Mary Aldridge were united in marriage. Mrs. Mary McClure was born in Pettis County and is a daughter of James S. and Anna (Howe) Aldridge, both of whom were born and reared in Pettis County and are now residing on their farm in Longwood township.

Charles August Selken, assistant cashier of the Smithton Bank, Smithton, Missouri, is a native born resident of this thriving little city. Mr. Selken was born June 30, 1875, and is the son of John H. Selken.
John H. Selken was born in West Virginia, in 1836, the son of John Selken, a native of Germany, who immigrated to America and settled near Wheeling, West Virginia. He came to Missouri in 1866. John H. Selken served in an Ohio infantry regiment of volunteers during the Civil War. Soon after the close of the war he came to Missouri and located on the prairie, one mile west of Smithton, in Pettis County. The Selken farm eventually joined Smithton on the western edge, and was
829
HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY
well improved by Mr. Selken. He moved to the present Selken home- stead in 1885. Mr. Selken died in 1905. His wife, prior to her marriage, was Elizabeth Ann Rickey, born in Noble County, Ohio, in 1842, and resides on the Selken homestead. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Selken were parents of three sons: Frank H., deceased, George D., deceased, and Charles August, subject of this sketch.
After attending the public schools Charles A. Selken pursued a course of study at the business college at Sedalia. Following his business course, he clerked for a time in a general store. For seven months he filled the post of delivery clerk in the Sedalia postoffice. He returned to Smithton in 1897. In 1904 he served as customs inspector at the port of St. Louis. He served as postmaster of Smithton from 1897 to 1913. On July 1, 1910, he became associated with the Smithton Bank and has served as the efficient assistant cashier of this bank since that time.

David White .- The leading store in Smithton is the general mer- chandise store established by David White, in 1839, and operated by White & Haire until 1896, when Mr. White purchased his partner's interest in the business. The White store is completely stocked with an excellent line of groceries, dry goods and clothing, and is housed in a large building on the main street of the town.
David White was born in Madison County, Kentucky, the son of John H. and Mary (De Bard) White, both of whom were born and reared in Kentucky and lived all of their lives in that State. David White was reared in Doyle County, Kentucky, and first came to Pettis County, Missouri, in 1871. He engaged in farming in this county in the northern part of Smithton township, and was successful as a farmer. He con- tinued farming until he engaged in business, in 1889. In addition to his business Mr. White is owner of a farm of ninety acres south of Smith- ton, and has 160 acres located west of Smithton. He is also president of the Bank of Smithton, and one of the town's leading and best respected citizens in many ways.

HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY
Thomas J. Raines .- Born on Pettis County soil, bred to the life of a farmer and stockman, Thomas J. Raines has gone his successful course true to the traditions of the second generation of the Raines family in Pettis County. The tale of his success since he attained his majority, and began his career with a single span of mules, reads like a tale from modern fiction. In the short space of twenty years Mr. Raines has accumulated a fortune in lands and money, and his success is a living evidence of the fact that old Pettis County is still the "land of oppor- tunity" for an ambitious and energetic citizen. Mr. Raines, beginning in 1890 with the aforesaid span of mules as his only capital, rented land for three years, made some money, then bought 200 acres near Lookout, Missouri. For this land he paid down $500. The soil being in a depleted condition and the buildings in a run-down condition, he set to work and created a valuable farm. This farm he sold at a profit in 1905. He then bought the old Jackson Williams farm of 150 acres, built up this tract into a better and more valuable farm, and sold it at a profit in 1910. In 1912, he purchased the Zieg Scott farm of 286 acres. Mr. Raines again repeated the operation of building up a run-down and depleted farm, and sold out at a profit in 1917. During the past twenty years he has amassed a comfortable fortune of over $25,000, and is accounted one of the leading progressive stockmen of Pettis County.
The present Raines farm embraces 364 acres, in one body, in section 4, Heath's Creek township. Mr. Raines is here repeating the process of restoring the land to a better condition of fertility, and is improving the farm with the intention of making a permanent, comfortable home for his family. Since August, 1917, he has made considerable changes in the appearance of this tract. He has only recently completed the erec- tion of a beautiful, modern residence of eight rooms, equipped with every modern convenience to make life comfortable and pleasant on the farm. This residence stands on an elevation and presents an attractive appear- ance from the roadway. The Raines farm is devoted to general farming and stock raising; 100 head of cattle are produced annually for the mar- kets, and he markets from 200 to 300 head of hogs each year.
Thomas J. Raines was born April 11, 1878, on a farm in the northern part of Heath's Creek township. He is the son of John W. Raines, one of the old settlers of Pettis County, a sketch of whom appears in this

HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY
volume. His grandfather was Charles Raines, of Virginia, a pioneer of Saline County, Missouri. Thomas J. Raines was educated in the district school of his neighborhood, and has followed the vocation of farming from boyhood. The only assistance Mr. Raines received from his father, who is a large land owner, was a span of mules. He used this team in making his first crop and then sold the mules for $160.
Mr. Raines was married, in 1901, to Miss Lou Karrick, a daughter of Jesse Karrick, a wealthy and substantial farmer of Longwood town- ship, a sketch of whom appears in this history. This marriage has been blessed with three children: Lillie, aged seventeen years, a student in Sedalia High School; Robin, aged fifteen years, also a student in Sedalia High School, and Carl, eight years old.
Mr. Raines is a Republican. He and his family worship at the Christian Church. He is fraternally allied with the Longwood Lodge, No. 4,237, Modern Woodmen of America. He is a director of the Bank of Longwood, and is a progressive and enterprising citizen who is ever ready to give his assistance in promoting worthy projects.
Charles W. McAninch, extensive farmer and stockman, of Hughes- ville, has resided in Pettis County for sixty-one years. From a modest beginning he has accumulated one of the largest estates in this section of Missouri, his acreage totalling 1,225 acres of rich lands on the prairie country in the vicinity of Hughesville. His home farm embraces 705 acres in one continuous body, upon which Judge McAninch and his family have resided since 1883. The farm residence is an imposing and an attractive building, which has been remodeled and modernized, every comfort enjoyed by residence of the city being available in the McAninch home. The farm buildings are extensive, and are kept in an excellent state of repair. Charles W. McAninch was born March 5, 1849, in Page County, Kentucky. He is a son of Harrison and Polly Lockett (Walker) Mc Aninch.
Harrison McAninch was born in 1809 and died in 1849. He was a native of Kentucky, and was reared and married in that State, to Miss Polly Lockett Walker, who was also a native of Kentucky and a daughter of Kentucky parents. Harrison McAninch was the son of George McAninch, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, who emigrated to America late in the eighteenth century and settled in Kentucky. Harrison and Polly L. McAninch were parents of the following children: Mary P., James L.,
832
HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY
Zach. T., and Charles W. The mother of these children died in 1849, not long after the birth of the subject of this review.
Mary P. McAninch was born in 1841, and when she was eleven years old came to Missouri. She married P. H. Salmon, of Cooper County, Missouri, and died in 1915.
Zach T. McAninch was born in Kentucky in 1847 and came to Pettis County in 1852, and is now living retired at Sedalia. He married Mary Neill, of Pettis County. She died in 1910, leaving a son, C. L. McAninch, a farmer, near Beaman, Missouri.
In the spring of 1863 Zach T. and James McAninch crossed the plains, and spent the winter at Salt Lake City and Denver, eventually locating at Boise City, Idaho, where they remained for six years.
When he was eight years of age Charles W. McAninch came to Pettis County and was reared to young manhood in the home of his uncle, Charles Walker. When he became of age he received his first wages from his uncle, who paid him $15 per month, and for the year's work his uncle also gave him a horse and saddle. The three McAninch broth- ers-Charles W., Zach. T. and James L .- then rented a large tract of . land in partnership for five years, and were extensively engaged in farm- ing and stock raising. This venture was a profitable one, and after the marriage of Zach T. McAninch the partnership arrangement was con- tinued by Charles W. and James McAninch. The brothers continued to rent large tracts of land until 1883, when Charles W. McAninch made his initial purchase of 700 acres in Hughesville township. As the years have passed Judge McAninch has added to his acreage until he is owner of one of the largest farms in Pettis County.
On October 2, 1883, Charles W. McAninch and Miss Leonora Walker were united in marriage. The children born of this union are: James F., a farmer, Hughesville, Missouri; Walter, died at the age of twenty years; Paul V., was born in 1892 and enlisted in the aviation depart- ment of the National Army in July, 1918, and is stationed at the Brooks aviation field, near San Antonio, Texas; Mildred C. is at home with her parents.
Mrs. Leonore McAninch was born in Pettis County, five miles south of Sedalia. She is a daughter of Austin and Pernetha J. (Fowler) Walker, natives of Kentucky. When the Walkers first emigrated from their native State they settled in Callaway County, Missouri. After a resi-
833
HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY
dence there of some years they came to Pettis County. Austin Walker died in this county in 1865. Mrs. Pernetha Walker departed this life in 1895. Of six children born to Austin and Pernetha Walker, five are liv- ing: Mrs. Samantha Redd, Mrs. Ella Reid, Mrs. Belle Funk, Thomas E., and Mrs. Charles W. McAninch.
Judge McAninch and the members of his family worship at the Christian Church. He is a Democrat, and stands high in the councils of his party. He served as presiding judge of the County Court from January 1, 1907, to January 1, 1911. Many important inno- vations and public improvements were placed under way and completed during his term, and the public finances of Pettis County were never better managed. His court inaugurated the system of work- ing the county prisoners upon the public highways, and thus they were made to pay for their keep. The plan of building concrete culverts was inaugurated during this regime, and many wooden structures were replaced, outside of the limits of the twelve-mile rock road districts. Concrete floors were placed in all bridges thirty feet or less in length. This court also had charge of the erection of 150 bridges, varying in length from sixteen to 150 feet.
In the November election of 1914 Judge McAninch was elected Rep- resentative from Pettis County to the Missouri State Legislature, and he was again elected in 1916. He served as a member of the Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth General Assemblies, and made a distinguished record. He served on the committees of Agriculture, Banks and Banking, Con- stitutional Amendments, Criminal Courts and Labor, and was chairman of the Committee on Justices of the Peace. During the session of the Forty-ninth General Assembly he held membership on the following com- mittees: Agriculture; Banks and Banking, of which he was vice-chair- man; Penitentiary and Reform Schools, being vice-chairman of this committee also; Clerical Force, serving as chairman of this committee; Schools and Labor, and he served as chairman of the Committee on Normal Schools.
It was during his last term as Representative that Judge McAninch achieved State-wide prominence because of his authorship of several important educational measures which were passed during the session.
For a number of years Judge McAninch has served as a director of the Third National Bank of Sedalia, and at present is the only surviving
834
HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY
member of the original board of directors elected at the organization of the bank. He is now serving as vice-president of the bank. He was the first treasurer of the State Fair Board, filling this post from 1901 to 1906. Judge McAninch is a citizen of worth and influence among his fellow-men.
Isaac Warren, who now resides in Sedalia, Mo., is a native of Pettis County, having been born in Flat Creek township, December 18, 1843. He is a son of Ervin and Elizabeth (Petty) Warren, both natives of Kentucky. The Warren family were very early settlers in this section of Missouri. Ervin Warren was a son of Hedgman Warren, who settled in Pettis County, Mo., about 1835, and both he and Ervin Warren entered gov- ernment land in this county. When Ervin Warren first entered govern- ment land the nearest United States land office was at Warsaw, Mo. He also filed on land later, after the land office was moved to Clinton. Ervin Warren died in 1871, and his wife departed this life about ten years later. Their remains are interred in the Warren Cemetery, together with other members of the Warren family. This is one of the old burial grounds in the vicinity of Sedalia.
To Ervin and Elizabeth Warren were born the following children: Mrs. Melinda C. Higgins, deceased; J. W., deceased; Isaac, the subject of this sketch ; Mrs. Sarah Shy, deceased; Mrs. Lydia A. Parberry, deceased ; Milton E., deceased; Mrs. Mary Elliott, who lives in Pettis County, and Robert E., who resides on the old Warren place. Isaac Warren was reared amid the pioneer surroundings of the early days in Pettis County, and was educated in the subscription schools, principally. He was attending public school when the Civil War broke out. He then entered the employ of the government as a teamster, hauling supplies for the Union Army, and was thus engaged about one year. He then went to Montana, driving a team of mules across the plains ; and when the war ended he was at Helena, Mont. He then returned to Missouri, and for forty years was engaged in farming. He retired in 1908, and since that time has resided in Sedalia.
Mr. Warren was united in marriage December 31, 1868, with Miss Mary Gentry, a native of Pettis County, and a daughter of B. J. and Mollie (Ellison) Gentry, both natives of Kentucky. The Gentry family settled in Pettis County in the thirties and many members of that family have been successfully identified with the development of Pettis County up to the present time. A more extensive history of the Gentry family is given elsewhere in this volume.
835
HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY
Isaac Warren has spent nearly seventy-five years of his life in Pettis County, and during that time he has witnessed the transformation of a wild, unsettled country into a populous, industrial and prosperous com- munity. Men who have seen Pettis County in its primitive state are rapidly passing away, and in a few short years all will have joined the great host of silent witnesses, and leave only tradition and history to tell the story of Pettis County in the early days.
