HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
here in 1883, in the sixty-fourth year of his age. The mother is still living, aged 59 years. William W. Boyd was born in Brown county, Ohio, November 19, 1848, and was 16 years of age when the family came to Missouri. He grew up in this county and started out for himself in early manhood without any means to begin on, and was soon married (in 1871). But he had been reared to work, which he had learned how to do, and he was not in the least afraid of it. He and his young wife, who was a Miss Elizabeth Henton, a daughter of Rolla Henton, an early settler of the county immediately settled down and thus worked on and on until as the years circled around their industry prospered them in the farm affairs, and, better than all, heaven blessed them abundantly in their family with a numerous pro- geny. The man who accumulates a fortune and thus adds to the wealth and prosperity of a country is undoubtedly a valuable and useful citizen ; but the man who gives to society a large and worthy family of children performs a service of much more value. Mr. Bovd is now one of the substantial farmers of the township. He has a fine place of nearly 400 acres, all under fence and well improved. He and his wife have eight children, and seven are living, namely : John W., Edward L., Nannie, Leona, William O., Ellen and Katie. He and wife are members of the M. E. Church.
JOHN A. BROWN
Proprietor of Brown's Hotel and Livery Stable, and Farmer, Middletown).
Mr. Brown was a youth about thirteen years of age when his parents came from Tennessee and settled in Montgomery county in 1856. His father, John Brown, soon became recognized as one of the respected farmers and worthy citizens of Prairie township. He died here in 1866. The mother, a Miss Patience Hogett before her marriage, died in 1870, a most excellent lady and a worthy member of the Episcopal Church, as was also her husband. But three of their family of children are living : Anna E., wife of William Pointlow ; Margaret J., wife of Charles J. Fitzgerald ; and John A., the subject of this sketch. George W., a brother, was killed in the battle at Vicksburg, in the Union service, and Elizabeth, a sister, died in child- hood. John A. was born in McMinn county, Tennessee, January 11, 1843. Partly reared in Montgomery county, Mo., he entered the Union militia here during the first year of the outbreak of the war, and served until its close. In 1867 he was married to Miss Cynthia A. Davidson, a daughter of Thomas and Amanda Davidson, early settlers from Ohio. Mr. Brown was reared a farmer and continued in that occupation exclusively until 1882, when he came to Middle- town. He still owns a good farm of 160 acres which he has rented out. At Middletown he engaged in the drug business and in 1884 he disposed of his drug interests and began keeping hotel and livery stable. He has a good house and runs a popular stable. Both are well patronized and he is doing a good business. Mr. and Mrs. B. have one child, Lillie B., having lost one, Maggie, at the age of three years. Mrs. B. is a member of the Presbyterian Church.

He settled near what is now Middletown and made his premanent home in this vicinity. His wife was a Miss Julia Glenn, a daughter of Thomas Glenn, a sturdy old son of the Emerald Isle, who came to this country in an early day. Samuel B.

WILLIAM P. FISHER
(Farmer, Post-office, Montgomery City).
The town of Frankford, in Pike county, now and for years past one of the prosperous trading points in that county, was founded by Mr. Fisher's father, Adam Fisher, a native of the State of Vir- ginia. The Fisher family is of German descent, but settled in Virginia prior to the Revolution. Adam Fisher was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was in the company of his father, Capt. Solomon Fisher. The family, however, had previously removed to Kentucky during the latter part of the eighteenth century, and were among the pioneer settlers of Bourbon county.

Dr. Ford was 7 years of age when the family came to this county. He succeeded in acquiring a good general education by close application to his books, and then read medicine and entered the St. Louis Medical College in 1867, from which he graduated two years later. Thereupon he located in Martinsburg, in Audrain county, and engaged in the practice of his profession. In 1870 he came to Middletown and has been engaged in the practice here ever since.

B, of the Forty-ninth Missouri volunteer infantry, U. S. A.
CAPT. SENECA W. HAMMACK
(County Surveyor and Justice of the Peace and Notary Public, Middletown).
Few men in Montgomery county are better known than Capt. Hammack, and the record of none as a citizen or in the public service is as free of reproach. Since 1863, a period now closely approaching a quarter of a century, he has continuously held the office of county surveyor ; for over 30 years, consecutively, he has been a regular commissioned notary public, and for the last 16 years he has held the office of justice of the peace. Though a life-long and consistent Democrat, one from principle and not from prejudice, Capt. Hammack was steadfastly a faithful, loyal, consistent Union man during the war. When the South went off on a slavery, dis- union platform, and endeavored to carry the Democracy of the coun- try with it, he refused to follow, and continued to stand on the constitution, true to old-fashioned Democratic principles. During the war he did his full share to influence his Southern brethren of the Democratic party in taking a position such as he occupied. Now he gladly takes them by the hand and welcomes them to full brother- hood under the old-fashioned banner of the Constitution and Union, Democracy and Reform. During the war he served twice as post- commander at Middletown. Regularly enlisted for the service, he was called to the post-commandership, August 15, 1862, and served until

They have three children : Eugenia V., Delos W. (deceased) and William W. The Captain, in early life, was a school teacher, and quite a popular and successful one. He was born in Lincoln county, Mo., February 19, 1825. His father was Brice W. Hammack and his mother's maiden name, Jane Wommack. His father was a soldier under Capt. Metcalf in the War of 1812, and was in the battle at New Orleans. Capt. Hammack has been a resident of Montgomery county from early manhood.

He had the superior excellent advantages of the schools of his native county as he grew up, and succeeded in obtaining more than an ordinary general English education in the leading branches. Habits of study in early life cultivated in him a permanent taste for mental culture, and by this he has succeeded in making himself a man of large and varied information. On the 5th of March, 1855, he was married to Miss Sarah E. Pew, of Montgomery county, Mo., a lady eminently worthy in point of mental endowments, culture and the finer qualities of heart to be his life companion. She is a daughter of A.

WILLIAM J. MEYER
(Of Logan & Co., Dealers in General Merchandise, Miller and Farmer, Middletown).
Mr. Meyer, though a native Missourian, is of German parentage, and a son of John G. and Mary ( Schultz ) Meyer, both from Hanover. His father was born in Bremen and after his marriage came to the United States and located at St. Louis. Two years later he went back and brought his wife and family to this country, which was in 1830. In 1854 he removed to Audrain county with his family, where he engaged in farming.

WILLIAM S. MOORE, M. D. (Physician and Surgeon, Middletown).
When the war broke out in 1861 the subject of this sketch was a youth at school, only about 15 years of age. He was born and reared in Clermont county, O., and, as the war progressed, his feeling be- came warmly enlisted for the cause of the Union, but he remained at school impatiently until he arrived at military age, or until he could be accepted as a volunteer for the defense of the flag of his country. His parents, with, perhaps, over parental affection, opposed his enlist- ment in the army. His youthful ardor and patriotism, however, overcame his love of family and home, and forming a resolution to join the army, in order to avoid a heart-breaking scene of parting from loved ones, he quietly went away unknown to any one, one dark rainy night in August, 1863, and the next morning answered at roll call as a plighted volunteer for the defense of the Union. His com- mand was shortly ordered away to the South, and until the close of that long and terrible struggle he gallantly did his duty as a faithful, fearless defender of his country. Among the many engagements in which he participated were the great battles of Harper's Ferry, Amelia Court-house, Petersburg and the Wilderness. After the close of the war, in August, 1865, he was honorably discharged and returned home. Soon after he began the study of medicine under his uncle, Dr. C. A. Montjar, of Amelia, Clermont county, (). In due time young Moore matriculated at the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cin- cinnati, O., where he graduated with honor in the class of '68. Dr. Moore then located in Highland .county, O., and practiced there with success and with increasing reputation until 1879, when he came to Missouri and located at Middletown. Here he readily built up a good practice, and now occupies an enviable position among the lead- ing physicians of the county. In 1869, September 23, he was married to Miss I. Gipler, of Highland county, O. They have had two chil- dren : Venice and John A., the latter now deceased.
