bereavement to her devoted husband, whose attachment had grown nearer and dearer through nearly 30 years of happy married life. They reared a family of four children, namely : John B., a merchant at Danville ; Jarrot, referred to above ; Joseph E., a practicing phy- sician at McCredie, Callaway county, and Thomas R., clerk of the probate court at Danville. A physical characteristic of the family of which Judge Harris is a representative is their stalwart manhood. His father was six feet, six inches in height, and proportionally well built ; a cousin was six feet, ten inches in height. He himself is six feet, two inches, and his youngest son is six feet, five - worthy representatives of physical manhood, truly, as they are otherwise.
ALFRED B. HUNTER
(Clerk of the Circuit Court of Montgomery county, Danville) .
Mr. Hunter, the present popular and efficient circuit clerk of this county, is a native of the county in which he still resides, and was born near where Americus now stands, on the 27th of November, 1844. His parents were Baylis E. and Elizabeth E. Hunter, both natives of this county, and were born and reared and both still re- side on their homestead near Americus, the father being a sub- stantial farmer of that vicinity. Alfred B. was reared on the farm, and helped to open up the same in a dense wilderness, and as he grew up had only limited advantages for an education afforded at the log school houses of the period; even at these, schools were kept only now and then, without much certainty as to time or duration, and of a very inferior quality at best. In short, young Hunter had to rely mainly on his own exertions and self-application for an education. But having a natural thirst for knowledge, he improved all his leisure by private study (and often over the mid- night lamp), and succeeded in making such progress in the course of a common English education that he became sufficiently quali- fied to teach school. Prior to teaching, however, he had spent some time as clerk in a store at Portland, in Callaway county. From that time up to the present he had had a varied experience, which included clerking, teaching and farming-or, rather, up to the time of his election to his present office. In 1867 he met with a severe misfortune ; he was stricken with a severe attack of inflam- matory rheumatism, from which he has since suffered very greatly, and has never fully recovered; he has been compelled to go on crutches since then as many as seven different times, and at no time less than six weeks, and some times as long as three months. Several times, indeed, he has been almost entirely disabled for any active business pursuit. 'A man of excellent business qualifications, and full of energy, this has been a hardship to him of the greatest severity. It has not only prevented him from accomplishing much that he would otherwise have been able to do, but has been a con- stant source of regret to him, being as he is a man of spirit and enter- prise. Appreciating, however, his thorough fitness for the duties of

the office of circuit clerk, in the fall of 1882, at a Democratic nominat- ing convention for county officers, his friends put him in nomination, among others, before the convention, and was by that convention made the nominee for circuit clerk, without his knowledge, consent, or even a consultation upon the subject. His friends urged him to make the race as a candidate for circuit clerk, which, after due delibera- tion, he consented to do. He was elected over his Republican oppo- nent, E. E. Sharp, Esq., who was then serving his first term as circuit clerk, and deservedly popular, by a handsome majority. Some one of the Sharp family had held this office ( except two terms, or eight years ) continuously since the time when Missouri became a State, or, perhaps, before ; so far back, indeed, that the memory of man hardly runneth to the contrary ; and it was generally believed that no one had popularity sufficient to take it out of the family, for each of them made thoroughly capable, efficient and popular clerks. But Mr. Hunter had every qualificatiou they possessed, and, besides, was a good Dem- ocrat, which goes a long way to help a good man along among Chris- tian and God-fearing people. His term extends over a period of four years, and he is now serving his second year in office. Being a capable and efficient clerk, and personally popular, as well as being on the side of the Lord's people, politically, it requires no gift of prophecy to foretell for him a long and successful career in this office. Mr. Hunter is a man of family, having married on September 19, 1883, when Miss Minerva J. Crockett became his wife. She was a native of this county and a daughter of the late Dr. W. W. Crockett, an es- teemed minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and also a physician by profession.
FRANK H. KALLMEYER, M. D. (Physician and Surgeon, New Florence).
Dr. Kallmeyer, a leading physician of the south-central part of the county and one of the enterprising, public-spirited, active citizens of New Florence, is a Missourian by nativity and life-long residence, born and reared in St. Charles county. He was a son of John H. and Mary C. ( Bierbaum ) Kallmeyer, both originally from Germany, and was born November 8, 1855. His parents came to America in 1836 and settled on land near Femme Osage, in St. Charles county, where the father improved a farm and subsequently engaged in mer- chandising. He became one of the successful, substantial farmers and business men of that part of the county, and one of the well known, and highly respected citizens of the county. He reared a fam- ily of five children ( four having died when young ), and gave them good school advantages. Dr. Kallmeyer took a general course at West- minster College, where he became proficient in the higher branches. Soon after quitting college he carried out a resolution previously enter- tained to study medicine, and entered upon the regular study of medi- cine, placing himself under the preceptorage of Dr. W. S. McCall, a prominent physician of Callaway county. In due course of study he
797

was prepared to enter medical college, and in 1875 matriculated at the St. Louis Medical College. He graduated from that well known and able institution in the class of '77, and at once thereafter located at Best's Bottom, in Montgomery county, were he engaged in the active practice of medicine. The following fall, November 14, 1877, he was married to Miss Francis K. Heying, a daughter of Frank Hey- ing of Montgomery county. In 1883, Dr. Kallmeyer came to New Florence, and made a permanent location at this place. His reputa- tion as a capable, skillful physician had preceded him here, and hence the promptness with which the people of this place and vicinity have generally engaged his services as a physician. Already he has a good practice and one that is steadily, not to say rapidly, increasing. He was largely instrumental in inaugurating the creamery enterprise at this place and is superintendent and secretary of the company, being also a liberal subscriber to its stock. The Doctor and Mrs. Kallmeyer have three children ; Aubrey S., Ida and Ami R.
DAVID F. KNOX
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, New Florence).
Mr. Knox, a representative of one of the pioneer families of the county, is at the same time a man who by his own exertions and merits has placed himself among the leading, successful farmers and representative, influential citizens of the county. He now owns some 1,300 acres, and has one of the choice stock-farms of the township, a handsome place of some 400 acres, near New Florence. He has sev- eral times been called into the public service of the county and has held the office of sheriff some six years. Indeed, there is, perhaps, no one in the county more generally or favorably known, or who more unques- tionably has the confidence of the public. The general esteem in which he is held is the result of his high character and usefulness as a citizen, his many estimable qualities as a neighbor, and his well known integrity and upright life. Mr. Knox was a son of William and Sarah (Clark) Knox, both originally from Kentucky, his father a son of David Knox, of Boyle county, that State, and his mother, a daughter of Isaac Clark, an early settler in Montgomery county. His father
was born and reared in Kentucky, and came to Missouri when a young man, locating in Montgomery county in 1818. He was married in this county and reared a family of five children, of whom David F. was the eldest. The others were Isaac H., Mary I. (Mrs. Dr. Stev- ens) William S. and David R. Their father became a successful farmer of the county and one of its well known, highly respected citi-
zens. David F. was born on the family homestead in this county, October 29, 1826, and was reared there, receiving a good ordinary common-school education. In 1858 he was married to Miss Catha- rine Davault, a daughter of Peter Davault, and a sister to Alfred Davault, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this volume. About the time of his marriage Mr. Knox settled on the farm where he now resides, and has continued in the occupation of a farmer which he
798
HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY,
had previously and so successfully followed, and has also been engaged in raising stock and in dealing in them to some extent for many years. Mr. Knox's homestead of 400 acres is well improved, and is one of the valuable farms of the county. Besides this he has about 900 acres of fine land in other tracts, a part of which is improved. As has been said, he has held the office of sheriff and collector for three terms. In 1856 he was elected over Mr. Oscar Brown, one of the pop- ular men of the county. Two years later he was re-elected. In 1870 he was again elected. When he ran in 1870 a large number of the Democratic voters of the county were disfranchised, so that the opposition to the Democracy had a large majority of those who were permitted to vote ; but he was elected by a handsome majority, the first anti-Radical sheriff of the county after the war. Mr .. Knox made a thoroughly efficient sheriff and retired from office even more popular than when he accepted it. Mr. and Mrs. Knox reared four children : Sarah I., William H., Mary L. and John U. He is a mem- ber of the M. E. Church South. His wife died in 1875.
FREDERICK LIONBERGER
(Farmer and Nurseryman, Post-office, New Florence).
Mr. Lionberger, who was born and reared in Switzerland, came to America with his brother, John U., now a prosperous farmer of Ne- braska, in 1868. They were the sons of Nicholas Lionberger and wife, Anna Elizabeth nee Gammeter. Their father was a lieutenant in the army of his native country. The two sons, Fred and John U., are the only ones of the family of three children now living. Fred- erick Lionberger was born in Switzerland, July 10, 1848, and was, therefore, 20 years of age when he came to America. He first located in Nebraska, where his brother had settled, but after a residence there of seven years came to Montgomery county, Mo., in 1875. On the 14th of February, 1878, he was married to Miss Emma Bridges, and they now have three children : John F., Albert M. and Henry H. The same year of his marriage Mr. Lionberger bought 60 acres of land on which he made his home the following year. Here he has since resided, engaged in farming, and he is also interested in the nursery business. He and Mr. Gutmann are starting the Lionberger & Gut- mann Nursery, with every prospect of success. Mr. Lionberger is a man of sterling worth and with his perseverance can hardly fail of becoming, in a few years, one of the successful and substantial prop- erty owners of the community.
RILEY H. MANSFIELD
(Attorney-at-Law, and Editor and Proprietor of the Optic, New Florence).
That early advantages may be made to contribute materially to one's advancement in life, to the giving of one's career a higher direc- tion than it might otherwise take, - that, indeed, they are indispen- sable to the success of some men, is not and can not be for a moment
799
HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
questioned. But that such is always the case no one of general intel- ligence or reasonable observation would think of claiming. Indeed, judging by the lives of successful men, some have gone so far as to claim that the best school for a youth of brave spirit and ambitious mind is the school of adversity ; that only there can he learn those lessons and develop those qualities of character, from those habits of life, indispensable to a successful career. In proof of this the bright array of eminent names that adorn the history of the country - chil- dren of poverty and obscurity-are cited. These thoughts and others are called out by glancing over the notes from which the pres-
ent sketch is written. Though Riley H. Mansfield, be it said, has reached no eminent station in the affairs of State, he has nevertheless accomplished much more than thousands of others have, whose ad- vantages were the best - has achieved a degree of success which no worthy sketch of his life should fail to mention to his credit. Nor is he hardly yet a middle-aged man; hardly has he more than reached that period when his greatest activity and usefulness may be expected to be exercised. Much of his younger manhood was taken up with preparing himself for life's duties and labors ; and now he has but lit- tle more than entered upon that part of his career where he may ex- pect to realize the fruits of his earlier years of struggles and toil. In youth he had, practically, no advantages whatever to prepare himself for what he felt would be his position in life. For he was a young man without a dollar, working for his own living and spending his leisure of evenings learning " the rule of three," and endeavoring to unravel the mysteries of an ordinary, common school, English gram-
mar. But by his industry, steady habits, perseverance, sterling
worth and natural gifts of mind, he has steadily made his way up until now many, who at first preceded him by years, are far in the rear. Mr. Mansfield was born in Marion county, Tenn., December 5, 1842, about 16 miles from Nashville. 'He was the third youngest in a fam- ily of nine children of Robert and Nancy (Spear) Mansfield, his father originally of North Carolina, but his mother of an old Virginia family. When Riley H. was a lad about 9 years of age the family re- moved to Missouri, and settled in Madison county. As intimated above, the father was a farmer by occupation, and young Mansfield's youth was spent on the farm assisting at farm work. Those were not the days, either in Tennessee or Missouri, and especially in South- east Missouri, of the excellent class of public schools we have now, and the instruction usually given fairly corresponded with the charac- ter and appearance of the old log school-house. Young Mansfield had the advantage of one term at one of these schools, as he grew up. Otherwise his education was limited to what he could secure by study at home without an instructor. Nevertheless he succeeded in getting something of a practical knowledge of the information afforded by the books of a common-school course. During the first year of the progress of the war his father was plundered of all his personal prop- erty, and even his life threatened. He therefore crossed over into Illinois with his family as a retreat of safety. Riley H. accompanied
800
HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
the family to Illinois, and all located in Randolph county. Young Mansfield was employed there as chief clerk in the provost marshal's office of the Sixty-first Illinois infantry of Gen. Logan's division. This appointment he held, discharging the duties of his office with en- tire satisfaction to his superior officers, until 1864, when he was com- missioned for the recruiting service, and was thereafter actively engaged in the work of recruiting volunteers until the close of the war. The war over, he now begun to cast about for some pursuit in life congenial to his tastes, and almost instinctively turned to the law. It was not until 1868 that he began regularly the study of law, which was with Judge Hubbard, of Marion county, Ill. The following year he came to Missouri and located at Montgomery City, where he con- tinued to prosecute his legal studies, his preceptors there being O. L. Cross and William L. Gatewood. In 1869 he was duly examined for admission to the bar, and was formally licensed and enrolled as an at- torney at law, Judge Gilchrist Porter, of the circuit bench, presid- ing. Meanwhile he had also taken a supplementary course at school. After his admission Mr Mansfield located at New Florence and en- tered actively into the practice of his profession. The first few years, however, were years of hard struggles, as is usually the case with young lawyers, for he had both a living and reputation to make, and clients were not very numerous. But he remained faithful to his profession, fought his way up patiently and perse- veringly, and finally established himself comfortably in a good prac- tice, which he has never since ceased to command. In 1875 he was married to Miss Anna Hughes, a refined and accomplished daughter of H. J. Hughes, of this city, and a sister of Dr. C. H. Hughes, of St. Louis, formerly superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum at Fulton. Mr. Mansfield established the Optic in 1877. Even then he had but little means to spare for founding a paper, but the same success has attended him in this that he has had in all his undertakings. Industry, patience, perseverance and good ability have placed the Optic on a safe and solid footing, both financially and as a popular, influential country journal. It has a good circulation of over 500 subscribers, and a substantial, profitable advertising patron- age. Editorially, it is remarked for the fairness and ability with which it is conducted. As a newspaper, it is fully up to the times and is reli- able ; and invariably it preserves that moral tone which makes it a welcome visitor in the homes of the most circumspect and those most careful of their own households. Mr. and Mrs. Mansfield have three children : Claude, Robert H. and Freddie. Mr. Mansfield's parents are now residents of Laclede county, Mo. All of the family of chil- dren now living are themselves married, except two boys, and the heads of families. A brother, Francis M., is the well known attorney of Hartsville, Wright county, Mo.

JOSEPH PENN
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Williamsburg).
With a farm of 640 acres well improved, Mr. Penn, one of the largest wheat raisers in his vicinity, is justly placed among the leading agriculturists of the township in which he resides. All he has he has accumulated mainly by his own exertions and good management. Mr. Penn was born in Indiana March 10, 1828, but was principally reared in Callaway county, Mo. April 15, 1852, he was married to Miss Martha A., a daughter of Robert Goodman, of Montgomery county. Only a short time before his marriage Mr. Penn had returned from California, where he had spent two years engaged principally in mining, and with a measurable degree of success. After his marriage he settled in Montgomery county and engaged in farming, which he has since continued to follow in this county. During the war, however, he enlisted in the Union army, in the Missouri volunteer infantry, and served for three years, and at the expiration of his term of service was honorably discharged. Among other engagements he was in those of Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and most of the principal fights in Sher- man's march to the sea. Mr. Penn was a brave and faithful soldier for the cause he had sworn to serve, and as a citizen his career is not less commendable, for he is one of the law-abiding, public-spirited men of the community in which he lives. Mr. and Mrs. Penn have had 13 children, 11 of whom are living : Anna, Mark, Luke, Sophia, Mollie, Robert, Missouri B., Matthew, Columbus, Lillie S. and Charles M. The two deceased were John and an infant. The first five are married and are comfortably settled in the county. Mr. and Mrs. P. are members of the Christian Church. His parents, William and Eleanor (Nettles ) Penn, were natives of Maryland, and his father was a sailor and shipbuilder. They removed to Indiana in 1828, and two . years afterwards to Missouri, settling finally in Callaway county in 1835, where the father died about 16 years afterwards. The mother died in 1880. They had a family of 11 children, of whom Mr. Penn, the subject of this sketch, was the fourth. His parents were both members of the Missionary Baptist Church.
THOMAS J. POWELL
(Attorney at Law and Agriculturist, New Florence).
Mr. Powell is one of the 43 old citizens of Montgomery county now living who have made their homes within its borders continuously for more than half a century. His parents, James Powell and wife, nee Nancy Shelor, from Orange county, Va., were pioneer settlers in this county. They came here in 1820, about two years after the organ- ization of Montgomery county (the county having been organized December 14, 1818), and settled on the present site of Danville, where the father built a horse-mill and opened a farm on land contiguous to his mill site. This mill did the grinding for the early settlers
802
HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
throughout a large area of surrounding country, but none of those who came to have their grinding done in that day are now living, all having gone the way of all the earth, and the old mill itself has long since gone to decay. The father died at his homestead, in what is now Danville, in 1828. The mother, however, lived to an advanced age and died at the home of her son, Thomas J., near New Florence, in 1872. James Powell was a man of sterling intelligence and upright character, and regarded as a worthy, representative citizen by those among whom he lived. He came of an old and well respected family in Virginia. The Powell family settled in that colony from England prior to the Revolutionary War, and from time to time representa- tives of the family in Virginia, and in some of the other States where branches have gone, have risen to State and National prominence in public affairs and in the professions. Among others will readily be called to mind by every one of general average information the names of Hon. Alfred H. Powell, an eminent lawyer and a distin- guished representative in Congress, from Virginia ; and of Hon. Levin Powell, of Virginia, a lieutenant-colonel in the Continental army, and afterwards a member of Congress ; also, of Hon. Paulus Powell, an able member of Congress from Virginia for about 10 years, closing in 1859 ; and of Hon. Cuthbert Powell, another rep- resentative in Congress from Virginia. Then there was Hon. Joseph Powell, of Pennsylvania, who defeated for Congress succes- sively the famous David Wilmot, and the not less famous Galusha A. Grow, in the old " Wilmot district" in Pennsylvania, as well as Col. Ulysses Mercur. There were also Gov. L. W. Powell, four years Governor of Kentucky, and six years a member of the United States Senate from that State; and Hon. Samuel Powell, elected to Congress from Tennessee, as well as numerous others. The Powells of Virginia were originally from Carmarthenshire, En- gland, where the family, or the original stock of the family, has been settled from an early period in English history. Sir John Powell was a distinguished representative of this family. His son, Thomas, was for many years an able member of Parliament. Thomas J. Powell, who comes of the Orange county (Va. ) branch of the family (a grandson of Lewis Powell, a son of James Powell, a pioneer settler of Montgomery county, formerly from Orange county, Va., and who had served with courage and fidelity through the War of 1812), was born after the family came to Missouri, at the family homestead on the present site of Danville, September 15, 1827. He was left an orphan while yet in infancy, which of course seriously affected his prospects in life. He was the youngest of a family of four children, all the others of whom are now deceased, but each of whom, however, lived to reach years of maturity. In boyhood and youth young Powell was able to avail himself of only the limited opportunities to obtain an education afforded by the occasion - com- mon schools of the neighborhood. On account of the death of his father, no greater advantages than these could even be hoped for. But being of a studious mind, he applied himself to his books dili-
803
HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
gently whenever an opportunity for instruction offered, and thus suc- ceeded in getting a good ordinary knowledge of an elementary En- « glish course. He soon found his whole time taken up with his affairs, and hence had but little further opportunity to study. Taking an intelligent and public-spirited interest in local political matters, in 1850 while yet quite a young man, Mr. Powell was selected for and elected to the office of constable of Danville township. Such was the efficiency with which he discharged the duties of that office, and such his personal popularity, that two years later he was elected sheriff of the county over one of the most popular men in the county. In 1854 he was re-elected to the office of sheriff. In 1856 he was nomi- nated by the Democrats for representative, but at that time the Know . Nothing craze was at its height, and a great many Democrats, very good men otherwise but in this respect considerably " rattled," followed this ignis fatuus. This had the effect to defeat him for the Legislature. In 1857 Mr. Powell was appointed public administrator of the county, a position he filled until 1860. He was then again elected to the office of sheriff, and served until 1861, when he was ousted on ac- count of his sympathy with the South. After this Mr. Powell took no active interest in public affairs, his farming and stock interests oc- cupying a large share of his time and attention. He also entered upon the study of law with a view to the practice, and in 1866 was examined for license and formally admitted to the bar, Judge Porter, of the circuit bench, presiding. Since then, for the past 18 years, Mr. Powell has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession and farming, and with good success. In 1853 he bought a handsome tract of land near the town of New Florence, which he has had im- proved and added to, and where he now resides. From time to time he has bought town property in New Florence and other real estate in the county, and now has quite a rent roll at this place. Mr. Powell's homestead contains 500 acres, and is one of the valuable stock farms of the south-central part of the county. He also owns the old family homestead of his parents at Danville, and considerable other property in the county. Mr. Powell is one of the public-spirited, leading citi- zens of New Florence, and has done much to build up the place and make it a prosperous business center. He has his law office in town. Personally, he is highly respected and justly popular. He is now serving as public administrator of the county. He is also local attor- ney for the Wabash Railway, and is prominently identified with vari- ous enterprises of a public nature. Among others he is president of the creamery company at this place. He is also secretary of the Old Settlers' Association of Montgomery county, in the affairs and pro- ceedings of which he takes an active interest. On the 17th of May, 1853, Mr. Powell was married to Miss Mary M. Davault, a daughter of Henry Davault, one of the pioneer settlers of the county, but long since deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Powell have 15 children, and they have the singular good fortune of having reared 13 of them, all of whom are still living, namely : Nancy V., Mrs. Rodgers ; James H., Mary F., Mrs. Davault ; William L., John P., Thomas J., Robert
