PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The first public school building in Wellsville was built in 1866. It stood on lot 1, block 4, of the original town. It was a frame, two- . stories high, and contained three rooms. Thomas H. Musick was the first principal and the first scholar enrolled was Robert Shackleford,' the present (1884) city attorney. The building was afterwards re- moved, as the business portion of town encroached upon it, and taken to the site of the present building, on part of the south-west quarter, south-east quarter, section 27, township 50, range 6. The old build- ing was burned in the fall of 1881.

The present school-house was begun in May, 1882. In July, 1883, before it was entirely completed, although it was in use, a heavy wind blew it down. Soon after the town voted $3,000 to repair it, and the repairs were completed the same season. The total cost of the build- ing was $9,400. The first principal in the new building was C. G. Cunningham.

The school-house is the best in the country. It is a fine brick structure, containing eight rooms, and will seat 600 scholars. At present there are five teachers.

District No. 4, township 50, range 6, which includes Wellsville, had an enumeration of 395 scholars in 1884, divided as follows : Whites, males, 163 ; females, 174. Colored, males, 24 ; females, 34. There is a good colored school taught by a male teacher in a rented house. The value of the school district property is $10,000. The amount paid teachers in 1883 was $1,640. The district owes $8,000 in 8 per cent bonds, due in a few years. The interest is promptly met and the bonds will be paid at maturity.

NEWSPAPERS.

The first newspaper in Wellsville was called the Wellsville Bazoo, established in June, 1876, by Frank Dubois, of Illinois, and R. E. McQuie (or McQuay ). The latter died in Warrenton a few years ago. The Bazoo was independent in politics, but had a precarious existence and changed hands frequently. The office burned in the latter part of November, 1878, at the time of the burning of the old city hotel.

The Wellsville Advertiser was established January 18, 1879, by A. F. Davis. At first it was a four-column quarto, then a six-column, and subsequently a seven-column folio. It was independent in poli- tics, and Davis was the editor and proprietor. The paper ran just

four years, the last number being issued January 6, 1883. In February following S. T. Haines, Esq., of Callaway, rented the office and started the Wellsville Democrat. In August he left, and in September a stock company was organized and established the Wellsville Democrat, and hired A. F. Davis to conduct it. In three months Davis retired as editor, and J. M. Clure took charge as editor and proprietor, rent- ing the office from Davis, who still runs the job department. Mr. Clure is probably the youngest editor in the State, being only about 18 years of age. He is a ready writer, however, piquant and spicy in his style, and his paper is always well filled with local news items, piquant paragraphs and entertaining matter generally.

The Wellsville Wide-Awake is another paper published in Wells- ville, but no report has been received from it. [See Biographical Sketch. ]

Among the old and prominent families of the county is that of which the subject of the present sketch is a representative. Mr.

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

Barker, Sr., settled in this county nearly 30 years ago. He was orig- inally from Kentucky, and came to Missouri when a . young man, locating in St. Charles county. He was engaged in merchandising there until the time of his removal to Montgomery county, where he bought land and afterwards followed farming until his death. He died the 1st of January in 1878. He was a man well known in Mont- gomery county and highly respected. He took an active interest in public affairs, and was a leader of thought and opinion among those. around him. He was a man of good education and large general in- formation, as well as exceptionally well read in history. He was a Whig before the war and a Democrat after the war, and always zeal- ous for the success of his party, ever doing all in his power for the success of his party representatives on the ticket. He was frequently solicited by prominent friends over the county to run for the Legis- lature and other positions, but uniformly refused, having no desire himself for official station. He was twice married and left two families of children - four sons by his first wife, and two daughters and a son by his second. He was almost an enthusiast for education and gave his children good advantages, but left them no considerable amount of property. His first wife was a daughter of James Mackay, of St. Louis, and was a lady of marked intelligence. S. M. Barker, cashier of the Wellsville Bank, at Wellsville, Mo., is the eldest of four brothers by his father's first marriage. The others are John M., now serving his third term as prosecuting attorney, and recently in- structed for by the Democratic County Convention for Congress ; Zeno, farmer near Wellsville, and James L., a practicing attorney at Wellsville.

JOHN BLACK

(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Wellsville).

It is only stating what every one of general information and fair ob- servation knows, to say that the Scotch people, as a class, are second to none on the globe for sterling, vigorous intelligence and thorough- going, energetic thrift in material affairs. Wherever a Scotchman is found we see one who is noted among his neighbors and in his com- munity, for his thrift and intelligence, and sterling individuality as a man. Our Scotch fellow-citizens are almost invariably among our most successful men. Among many others of this class the subject of the present sketch may be cited as an illustration. Mr. Black, a native of the land of the Gael Dun, landed on the shores of America years ago, a young man without means. Since then the years have come and gone, and through them all he has labored on and on, industriously and patiently, until he has become one of the substantial citizens of the community of which he is a member. He has a fine property of about 1,200 acres of land, all handsomely improved and divided into several excellent farms. He is one of the leading stock-raisers of the county, and is one of its most highly respected citizens. Mr. Black was born near Armouth, Lanarkshire, Scotland, March 4, 1810. On

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

both sides of his family - the Blacks and the Elders - he is of ancient Scotch ancestors, each family having come into that country as mem- bers of the Gallic tribes from England after the conquest of the latter country by the Kimric race. His father's name was William Black, and his mother's maiden name Jeanet Elder. Mr. Black received a good common school education in Scotland, and in 1831 he came to America on a prospecting tour. After spending a short time in Canada he returned the same year. The next year, however, he came back to the New World to remain permanently, and settled in Canada, about 30 miles east of Toronto, where he engaged in farming. He remained there for over 20 years and was quite successful, but in 1853 he sold out in Canada and removed to Missouri, settling in Montgom- ery county, near Wellsville, where he has ever since resided. His career here as a farmer and stock-raiser has been noted above. March 4, 1847, Mr. Black was married to Miss Mary, a daughter of Daniel Whitcomb, formerly of Vermont. Mr. and Mrs. B. have reared six children : Alina E., who is now the widow of O. H. Wise ; William, who resides on one of the farms of his father ; John, also on one of his father's farms ; James, unmarried and at home ; Isaac, also single and at home, and Mary J., a young lady, also at home.

JOHN C. BLAIN, D. D. S. (Dental Surgeon and Druggist, Wellsville).

Dr. Blain is a native of Pike county, born at Bowling Green, August 21, 1855. Of his father and family we find the following in the " History of Audrain County," pubilshed in connection with a biographical sketch of his brother, Charles E. Blain, of Vandalia : " His father, William W. Blain, was a native of Virginia, and was a brick- mason by trade. He was married in Virginia to Miss Annie M. Turner, of a family prominent in the Old Dominion and afterwards in Missouri. Soon after his marriage, William W. Blain removed to Missouri and lo- cated at Bowling Green, the county seat of Pike county, where he lived for many years, and until his death. He became the leading contractor and builder in the line of brick-work at Bowling Green, and one of the most prominent in North-east Missouri. He was a man of fine busi- ness ability, and his energy and enterprise hardly knew any bounds. For over 30 years he ran the leading hotel at Bowling Green, - one of the best houses in that part of the country. He also ran a large livery stable for many years. He died in 1871, universally re- gretted ; his widow still survives him, and is left with a comfortable estate. There were nine children of the family, all of whom, how- ever, lived to reach maturity. Some of them are among the prominent residents of the communities in which they live. Mag- gie is the wife of Gov. R. A. Campbell, of St. Louis, the present Lieutenant-Governor of the State; Dr. J. C. Blain, of Wellsville, and a leading dentist of that place, and Charles E." Dr. Blain was reared in Bowling Green, where his boyhood days were principally spent at school. He took a pretty thorough course in the common

915

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

and high schools and then matriculated at the State University, where he began a regular university course. After several terms there, however, his health failed and he was compelled to leave off his studies. Returning home, by a rest he recuperated after awhile and then decided to begin the study of dentistry without further delay. He put himself under the instruction of Dr. Lindenberger, a prominent dentist of that city, under whom he took a thorough course in the science and practice of dentistry. Subsequently he entered the Dental College of St. Louis, from which he was hon- orably graduated. He practiced his profession at Bowling Green for some two years and at Middleton for several years. In 1879 Dr. Blain located at Wellsville. Here he has built up an excellent prac- tice and is the leading dentist throughout all this part of the country. About two years ago he also became interested in the drug business, and he is conducting a popular drug store at this place. In April, 1877, Dr. Blain was married to Miss Annie, a daughter of John McFarlan, of Pike county. Dr. Blain is a member of the I. O. O. F.

JAMES L. BLANCHARD

(Farmer and Fine Stock-raiser, Post-office, Wellsville).

Farming has been Mr. Blanchard's principal occupation from boy- hood. He has been a resident of Montgomery county for the last fif- teen years, and is justly regarded as one of the representative farmers and citizens of Upper Loutre township. Mr. Blanchard is a native of New York, born in Alleghany county, October 8, 1829. His father, Frank Blanchard, from Connecticut, was brought out to New York when he was quite small, where he was reared and was afterwards married to Miss Cynthia Lyon. He followed farming in Alleghany county for some years and then removed to the vicinity of Rochester, in Monroe county, that State. He died there soon afterwards. James L. Blanchard was reared in Monroe county and at the age of 21 came West to the vicinity of Freeport, Ill., where he remained about two years, engaged in farming. He then joined Capt. Condon's company · bound for California and crossed the plains for the Pacific coast. He was in California for some six years mining, principally, but also for a time merchandising. In the spring of 1859 Mr. Blanchard returned via Panama and New York, and stopped for a time at Rochester, where he was married in March, 1859, to Miss Loretto, a daughter of J. L. Brower. Near Freeport, Ill., he bought a farm and resided nearly ten years. In the fall of 1868 he sold out in Illinois and came to Missouri, buying a part of the land where he now resides and re- moving his family here the following spring. He first bought 360 acres, and since then, by industry and good management, he has been able to nearly double the size of his place. He now has 615 acres, all fenced, with about 500 acres in cultivation, and is giving considerable attention to raising a good grade of stock. In the spring of 1881 Mr. Blanchard had the great misfortune to lose his wife. She left him eight children, most of whom are grown, namely : Mary, Cynthia, the

916

wife of Clarence Boyer; Flora, Emma, William, Cora, Charles and Effie. Five others died in childhood. Mrs. B. was an earnest mem- ber of the Baptist Church. She was a woman of great attachment to her family, and a devoted wife and loving mother, and her loss was most keenly felt.

JOHN W. BOYER

(Farmer, Post-office, Wellsville).

It has been nearly four generations ago since the Boyer family came over to this country from Germany and settled in Pennsylvania. Young Boyer was in infancy when the family crossed the blue waters of the Atlantic bound for the New World. He grew up and married in Penn- sylvania, and among his children was William M. Boyer, who became the father of John W., the subject of this sketch. William M. Boyer married Polly Kanogle, of Maryland, and made his home in that State. There John W. was born, December 5, 1831, in Washington county. In 1846 his parents removed to Ogle county, Ill., where they lived some five years and then settled permanently near Freeport, in Stephenson county, where they still reside, the father at the advanced age of 84. August 31, 1857, John W. Boyer was married in Stephen- son county, Ill., to Miss Lucy J. Rundlett, a daughter of William Rundlett, of that county, formerly of New Hampshire. After his marriage, Mr. Boyer settled on a farm in Stephenson county, and remained there successfully engaged in farming until 1872, when he came to Missouri and bought the place where he now resides. He has 240 acres of good land, one of the choice and well improved farms of the township. Mr. and Mrs. Boyer have six children: Clarence, Carro, Ed., Lilian, Charles and Lulu.

SILAS T. BUCK, M. D.

(Physician and Surgeon, Wellsville).

Dr. Buck has had a long and successful experience in his profession, and commands an extensive and valuable practice in the north-western part of this county, and over into the neighboring vicinities of Audrain and Callaway counties. Added to this, he had a valuable army expe- rience in surgery during the war. He was born at Marietta, Wash- ington county, O., March 26, 1838, and came of one of the pioneer families of that place. His father, Frederick Buck, was also born there, and is said to have been one of the first white children born in what is now Washington county. Dr. Buck's mother was Miss Mary Gates before her marriage, also born and reared in Marietta. His father died there in the summer of 1865, and for years had been one of the largest boot and shoe dealers and manufacturers of that place. He was also for a number of years successfully engaged in shipping produce to the South. Altogether he accumulated a comfortable property, but in the later years of his life was unfortunate and died in moderate circumstances. Dr. Buck received a high-school education

917

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

at Marietta, and at the age of 18 began the study of medicine under Dr. J. D. Cotton, a man pre-eminent in his profession in that part of Ohio. He continued the study under Dr. Cotton until 1856, when he went to California. There he located in Tehama, where he renewed the study of medicine under Dr. J. M. Betts, under whom he contin- ued for nearly two years. He then went to Fulsom, in Sacramento county, and prosecuted his studies under Dr. A. C. Donaldson. In a short time he entered the medical department of the Pacific Univer- sity of San Francisco, where he took a regular course of two terms, graduating with distinction in 1861. He then practiced for a time with Dr. Donaldson, and afterwards removed to Virginia City, Nev., where he formed a partnership with Dr. Pinkerton. In a short time, however, he returned home to Ohio, and in the winter of 1862-63 he was appointed assistant surgeon of the Twelfth Ohio, with which he served until that regiment's time expired in July, 1864, after which he accepted a position as contract surgeon, and had charge of the sur- gical ward of the Island Hospital at Harper's Ferry, where he continued until after the war, or until August, 1865. Returning home then to Marietta, he remained there engaged in the practice until 1868, when, having come to Missouri on a visit, he shortly after located in Wells- ville, where he has ever since been actively engaged in the practice. May 15, 1868, Dr. Buck was married in the vicinity of Marietta, O., to Miss Clara E., a daughter of William and Elizabeth Gibson, for- merly of Massachusetts. The Doctor and Mrs. B. have two children : Jennie G. and Ione W. He has been the medical examiner at this point for the government pension office for nearly 14 years.

JOHN P. CLARK,

(Proprietor of the Union Livery Stables, Wellsville).

Mr. Clark is a native of Indiana, born in Ohio county, October 14, 1829. His father was John Clark, originally from Virginia ; and his mother was a Miss Elizabeth Oxley before her marriage, and from Kentucky. John P. Clark was reared in Ohio county, and continued to reside there until 1861. Meanwhile, his father had died, in 1856, and John P. continued at home to care for the family. In 1861, they removed to Missouri, and for the following six years resided on a farm near New Florence. They then removed to Audrain county where John P. continued to reside engaged in farming until 1881, when he came to Wellsville, and entered in his present business. He is still unmarried, but he and his mother keep house, and she cares for the home affairs. Mr. Clark has been quite successful in the livery bus- iness, and has an excellent stable. He owns the livery building he occupies, and has it well stocked. His custom is large both locally and from the traveling public. He is doing a good business and has every reason to be satisfied with the present outlook as well as with his past experience.

JOB C. CONGER,

(Of Conger & Reed, Proprietor of the Garden City Mills, and Grain and Flour Dealers, Wellsville).

Mr. Conger, who has built up one of the most popular flour mills in this part of the county and throughout the surrounding country, was a son of William Conger of Centralia, but formerly a successful miller of New York. The subject of this sketch was born at Phoenix, in Oswego county, N. Y., September 3, 1846, and was reared at that place up to the age of 12 years. The family then removed to Missouri and located on a farm in Audrian county where they resided for some eleven years. In 1869, the father retired from farming and from all active work, and, renting his farm to a tenant, removed to Centralia, where he still resides. He has been quite successful in life and has retired on a comfortable competency. His wife, who was a Miss Annie B. Scott, a native of Canada, is still living, and both are in the enjoyment of good health. They reared eight children, all of whom are living - four sons and four daughters. Job C. Conger was reared on the farm from the age of twelve years in Audrain coun- ty. He attended the common schools and also went to South Haven, Michigan, where he attended college for a time. But while there he joined the army and was in the army, a member of Co M., Third Mich. cavalry, for two years following February 3, 1864, the time of his enlist- ment. He was several times wounded, but never seriously. After the war Mr. C. returned to Missouri, and in 1868 engaged in the mill- ing business in Audrain county. Two years later he removed to Centralia and continued the milling business there for about five years. Mr. Conger came to Wellsville in 1875, since which time he has been connected with the mill at this place. He has had several changes of partnership, but Mr. Reed has been his partner since 1882. The Garden City Mills have a capacity for 100 barrels a day. Their flour has an enviable reputation in the markets and soon comes into general demand wherever it is introduced. Messrs. Conger & Reed own an elevator at Wellsville and deal quite extensively in grain. The former has also opened a flour store at this place in con- nection, in which line he has a good trade. December 24, 1874, Mr. Conger was married to Miss Emma F., a daughter of John Himes, formerly of Virginia, and Mrs. C. was reared and educated at Bruns- wick, Missouri. They have four children : George, Nannie, Job and Lelah. Frank, a lad seven years of age, was accidentally drowned near Wellsville the 20th of last May. Mr. and Mrs. C. are members of the Christian Church and he is one of the prominent Masons of the county. Mr. Conger's youngest brother, D. D. Conger, was killed by the premature discharge of a cannon used in celebrating the Fourth of July, 1884, at Centralia Mo.

ORA COTTLE

(Retired Farmer, and Mayor of Wellsville).

There are very few families in Missouri older in continuous residence within the territory included in the borders of this State than the one -the Cottle family - of which the subject of the present sketch is a representative. Indeed, this is one of the pioneer families of the country, contemporary with the Boones and their fellow-pioneers, and preceding the Callaways and Coopers. Mr. Cottle's parents, Dr. Warren Cottle and wife, Saloma, whose maiden name was also Cottle, settled in St. Charles county, in what was then the Territory of Up- per Louisiana, in 1801. They were from Woodstock, Vt., and Dr. Cottle followed the practice of his profession in St. Charles county until his death, which occurred in 1824. He was also successfully engaged in farming there and became a large landholder. He held different official positions in the county from time to time. Six of his family of eight children grew to mature years, five sons and a daughter. Two of the brothers and their sister are still living : Lorenzo, the founder of Cottleville in St. Charles county, and a re- tired merchant and farmer of that county ; Paulina, now the widow of Henry F. Bates, and a resident of California ; and Ora, the sub- ject of this sketch. 'Squire Ora Cottle was born in St. Charles county June 13, 1818. He was reared in that county, and in August, 1845, was married to Miss Elizabeth Keithley, a daughter of Samuel Keithley, another early settler of that county. After his marriage 'Squire Cottle engaged in farming and stock raising in St. Charles county, and so continued until his removal to Wellsville in 1880. He rented out his farm there, a good place of 350 acres in order to retire from active farm life. He also has another good tract of land in that county. In 1883 he was elected mayor of Wellsville and still holds this office. He is a man of high character, good business qual- ifications and an intelligent, pleasant and agreeable old gentleman. He makes an excellent mayor and is justly popular with the people. The 'Squire and Mrs. Cottle have reared seven children : Samuel, a merchant at O'Fallon ; Mary S., now Mrs. T. B. Carthrae, of Shannon county ; Orlana T., the wife of John G. Miller, of Montgomery City ; Hermie C., now Mrs. William R. Gilliland, of this county ; King C., of Kansas City ; Addie B., the wife of C. W. White, of this vicinity ; and Lizzie G., a young lady yet in her " teens." Mr. Cottle is a member of the Masonic order.
