was a member of the Christian Church, being one of the number forming the organization in New London in 1838. She died in 1882. In their family were thirteen children: Margaret A., who married Judge W. E. Harris, and is now de- ceased; Jefferson A .; Elizabeth, who died in in- fancy; Caroline and Walter, who also died in in- fancy; George E .; Augusta G .; Cornelia P., who married William L. Wickersham; Men., the sub- ject of this sketch; Frances M., who married Thomas R. Dodge, one of the founders of the "Record"; Samuel W., who died in infancy; Laura W., who married John Bale; and William S. Of these children, Jefferson A., George E., Augusta, Men., Frances, Laura and William S. are living.


The subject of this sketch was reared in New London, securing his education in the public school. In 1860 he began to learn the art of print- ing in the office of the Ralls County Beacon, where he served his apprenticeship. In 1861, he enlisted in the Second Iowa Infantry under command of Colonel Tuttle, as a musician, serv- ing until about the close of the war. In the latter part of 1863, in company with I. N. Haw- kins, he started The True Flag in Louisiana, Mo., which he conducted about eighteen months. He then went to New London and, in company with Thos. R. Dodge, started the Record, with which paper he has since been connected. Mr. Dodge retained his interest in it until 1882, since which time Mr. Mayhall has conducted it alone. The Record is a six column quarto, devoted to the interests of Ralls County, its people, and true Democratic principles. It is the leading paper in the county, and has a good circulation, and is ably edited. A job office is connected with the paper.


On the eighteenth of October, 1863, Mr. May- hall was united in marriage with Miss Hattie M. Stephenson, by whom he had one child, Hattie M., named for her mother. Mrs. Mayhall died Sept. 3, 1864, and Mr. Mayhall subsequently married Luta Belle, a daughter of Joseph Miller, of Mexico, Mo. By this union there were four children: Minnie Belle, wife of Prof. Cole, County School Commissioner; Bartie, who died

in 1886; Augusta G., who married Jacob W. Coontz, now deceased; and Georgia G., living at home. The second Mrs. Mayhall died January 3, 1892, and on the 15th of June, 1894, Mr. May- hall married Mrs. Maggie Miller Payne, daugh- ter of James L. Pegram, of Montgomery City, Mo. Mrs. Mayhall is a member of the Presby- terian Church, and Mr. Mayhall of the Christian Church. He is also a member of New London Lodge No. 307, A. F. and A. M., the K. of P., and New London Lodge No. 70, A. O. U. W.


Mr. Mayhall was the first man that ever left Ralls County to go into the Union army, and at a time when it was not very popular to be a Union man. He is a progressive man, and is de- voted to the interests of his town and county.


S AMUEL ALEXANDER TOMBS, one of the oldest and best-known of Pike County farmers, was born in that County, Decem- ber 28, 1828, and is a son of David L. Tombs, a native of South Carolina, born in 1800, where he spent his early boyhood on the farm with his par- ents. His wife, Louisiana Basye, was born in 1804.


David Tombs, the grandfather of our subject, was a native of Cork County, Ireland. When but four years of age he was brought by his parents to America. This was some twenty years prior to the Revolutionary War. Before the break- ing out of the conflict his father was an enrolling officer under the British Government, but in the struggle following his sympathies were with the American Colonies, and he served as a soldier in the armies of his adopted country. After the war was over he settled down to a quiet farm life. The subject of this sketch has now in his posses- sion a pair of the old Irish stilliards which were handed down to him through his ancestors. They were manufactured by Robinson, of Dublin, in the seventeenth century.


David Tombs, the grandfather, moved to Mis- souri about the year 1819, and located in Lincoln


County, one year later removing to Pike County, where he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land, which he improved. Soon after locating here, he married Miss Louisiana Basye. To them were born eight children: James S., Agnes Ann, Samuel Alexander, Louisiana, Elizabeth Mar- garet, Susan, Martha and Adeline, all of whom lived to maturity, except Louisiana, who died at the age of fourteen years. James S. is a resident of Pike County, Mo., and is an extensive and re- spected farmer; Samuel Alexander is the subject of this sketch; Agnes was the wife of Robert Tombs (not related), and to them were born four children: George, Mollie, Edward, and Ellen; Elizabeth was the wife of William Summer, and to them were born two children, Ora and Effie; Margaret became Mrs. Woods; Martha became the wife of William Hattersley, and to them was born one son, William; James married Elizabeth Green, and to them were born three children, William D., Frank and John Wesley.


Samuel A. Tombs, the subject of this sketch, first married America Susan Whittledge, March 22, 1855. She was born September 7, 1830. To this union were born seven children: Mandeville Courrie, born January 28, 1857, who is now a citi- zen of Audrain County, Mo .; Sarah Margaret, born November 26, 1858, and who died at the early age of twenty-three years; Perry Alex- ander, born November 6, 1860, is now a citizen of Pike County, and is not married; Addie Ellen, born March 20, 1864, died December 17, 1876; Emma May, born February 13, 1866, died August I, 1885; Charles Walden, born May 8, 1868, died October 15, 1885; James William, born October 6, 1870, is now a resident of Pike County, Mo. The mother of these children died October 22, 1873, at the age of thirty-five years. Mr. Tombs was again married September 30, 1874, to Miss Sarah A. Dodge. To this union were born three children: Ada Susan, born August 14, 1875; Samuel Hampton, April 7, 1877; Anna Belle, De- cember 20, 1878, all of whom are at home. Mr. Tombs was married a third time to Berthena C. Cameron, daughter of Dr. Craft, of St. Louis. There were no children by this marriage. Mrs. Tombs died March 20, 1892. Mr. Tombs was

again married on the 19th of February, 1893. to Rebecca C. Nix.


Mr. Tombs has a farm of two hundred and ten acres, where he carries on general farming and stock-raising. He is a member of the Cumber- land Presbyterian Church, and a Democrat in politics.


S AMUEL J. WILLIS. This gentleman, who is one of the wealthy residents of Pike County, is the owner of an estate compris- ing three hundred and eighty-five acres in Indian Township. He is, however, living retired from the active duties of life, having removed to the town of Farmer in 1885. For the first two years of his residence there he operated a hotel, but abandoned it at the end of that time, and is now occupied in looking after his various interests.


Mr. Willis is a native of this township, and was born May 18, 1831, to Samuel and Mary P. (Farmer) Willis. The former was born in Pitt- sylvania County, Va., and died July 12, 1880, at the age of eighty-five years. He in turn was the son of Joel and Frances (Meadows) Willis, also born in the Old Dominion, whence they enii- grated to Pike County, Mo., in 1829. They be- came slave-owners in this State and had their large property worked by this kind of labor. To them were born four children, as follows: Will- iam, now deceased, has three daughters living in this county; Samuel, father of our subject: Sarah married O. Collie, and they are both deceased: Nancy, deceased, was the wife of Charles Atchi- son, who is also deceased.


Mrs. Mary P. (Farmer) Willis was born De- cember 18, 1794, and died December 2. 1845. She was the daughter of Marlin and Elizabeth (Ack- les) Farmer, natives of Virginia, where they were extensive farmers and slave-owners, and passed their entire lives. Their children included the fo !- lowing-named sons and daughters: James, Will- iam, John, Moses, Sarah E., Lucy, Mary, Rod- die, Nancy, Permelia.


The parents of our subject were married in Vir- ginia April 18, 1817, and to them were born a


large family, of whom we make the following mention: Joel, Jr., was born May 18, 1818; he is now a prominent farmer and stock-raiser of Hartford Township, this county; Elizabeth E. was born March 24, 1820, and died in 1836; Chris- topher was born June 10, 1823, and died in 1851; Nancy was born May 30, 1825, and died forty years later; Gideon was born June 22, 1827; Sarah was born August 4, 1829, and died No- vember 25, 1891; Samuel J. is the subject of this sketch.


The father of our subject was a second time married, the lady on this occasion being Jane Evans. Their union was celebrated in 1846 and to them was born a son, David D., May 18, 1848; he died in September, 1873. Jane (Evans) Willis was born in Tennessee April 24, 1808. She now makes her home with our subject. Her parents were Henry and Mary (Yadson) Evans, also na- tives of that State, whence they emigrated to Lin- coln County, Mo., where they passed the remain- ing years of their lives engaged in farm work. They became the parents of a family of eleven children, namely: Joseph, Jane, Bettie, Andy, Susan, Samuel, David, Henry, Thomas, Sarah, and one who died in infancy.


Our subject was married January 10, 1856, to Miss Sarah E. Parson, who was. born Septem- ber 8, 1840, in Pike County, this State. She is the daughter of John G. and Jane C. (Irby) Parson, the former of whom was born in Pittsylvania County, Va., April 23, 1799, and died in 1884. He was in turn the son of David and Elizabeth (Bailey) Parson, natives of the Old Dominion, where the grandfather died. His widow, how- ever, came to Lincoln County, this State, where she departed this life a number of years there- after. David and Elizabeth Parson were the par- ents of eleven children: Eliza, Annie, Benjamin, Roddie, Mary, Lewis, Baley, Peter, Margaret and two who died in infancy.


Jane C. (Irby) Parson was born August 15, 1825, in Virginia, and died in October, 1864. She was the daughter of William and Sarah (Farmer) Irby, also natives of that State, whence they emi- grated to this county many years ago and lived the balance of their days. Like the ancestors of

our subject, they were extensive farmers and slave-owners, and became prominent in their community. They reared a family of three chil- dren, four having died in infancy. John R., born October 16, 1819, died in June, 1844; Henry E., born July 29, 1821, died in 1826, and Jane C., born August 15, 1825, died October 1, 1864.


John G. and Jane C. (Irby) Parson were mar- ried in this county November 25, 1839. Their union has resulted in the birth of the following children: Sarah E., wife of our subject; William C. H., who was born in 1844, and one who died in infancy. To Mr. and Mrs. Willis, of this sketch, have been born three children: John H., born Oc- tober 10, 1858, is now on the police force in the City of St. Louis; Amelia J., born March 2, 1861, died September 25, 1874, and James A., born Oc- tober 16, 1865, died in infancy.


The original of this sketch lived on his father's farm for four years after attaining his majority, when he married and moved into a residence which had been erected on the home place. In this he lived for eight years, when he took posses- sion of another tract of land in the same town- ship, which belonged to his wife. They lived there from 1863 to 1885, in which latter year they came to Farmer, where, as before stated, they operated a hotel. Two years later they retired to private life, and now occupy a pleasant home in that town. Mr. Willis has never aspired to hold office, it taking all his time to look after his large estate, which now comprises four hundred acres. In politics he is a strong Democrat, having sup- ported that party with his voice and vote for many years.


R ICHARD T. BARBER. Among the en- ergetic and successful young farmers of Marion County we mention the name of Richard T. Barber, who is superintending the management of the old Peak homestead in Town- ship 58, Range 7. Farming and stock-raising form his chief occupation, and the able manner in which he has taken advantage of every method


and idea tending toward the enhanced value of the property speaks well for his sound judgment and for his future success. As a farmer, he is progressive, and as a citizen he ranks among the most public-spirited of the residents of the town- ship. Having traveled widely and visited many points of interest throughout the United States, he has gained a breadth of culture that makes him a genial companion, and he is therefore pop- ular in social circles.


A native of Coles County, Ill., the subject of this notice was born October 25, 1868, and is a son of Lynch and Elizabeth (Smithson) Barber. His father, whose birth occurred in Pittsylvania County, Va., October 16, 1830, was a son of Shadrach and Polly (Farmer) Barber, who spent their entire lives in the Old Dominion. Shadrach was a preacher in the United Brethren Church, a man of great piety and considerable learning, and was prominent in his denomination until his death, which occurred at an advanced age. The paternal great-grandparents were also Virginians, and resided on a farm in their native common- wealth until their death when advanced in years.


The mother of our subject was born in Clinton County, Ohio, in September, 1829, being a daughter of Francis H. and Elizabeth (Barnett) Smithson, who were life-long residents of Clin- ton County. By her marriage she had six chil- dren, but was bereaved by the early death of five of the family. The eldest were twins, and died in infancy. Sylvesta died at the age of two, Alice when six years of age, and Mollie was taken away in infancy. Richard T., of this sketch, is the sole survivor. The parents are still living, and make their home on a farm in Lewis County, Mo.


Educated in the district schools, our subject at the age of seventeen began to make his own way in the world. While still in his teens he went to the Pacific Coast, visiting all points of interest en route. In 1882 he returned to his father's home in Lewis County, and there he remained for two years, after which he returned to Illinois and en- gaged in farming for one year. Then going back to Lewis County he assisted his father on the home farm for a year. March 7, 1895, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Nancy Peak,

daughter of George W. Peak, Sr., one of the pio- neers of Marion County. Mrs. Barber inherited the old Peak homestead of two hundred and twenty acres upon the death of her father, and here she and her husband make their home, sur- rounded by every comfort which their refined tastes can suggest or money secure. In the social circles of the community they occupy an enviable position. Their home is pleasant, and it is their particular enjoyment to throw wide open its doors for the entertainment of their many friends. They possess many excellencies of character, and de- serve the high regard in which they are held by the people of the township.


J AMES ARCHIBALD M'PIKE is one of the leading and influential farmers of In- dian Township, Pike County. He owns and carries on a fine homestead consisting of three hundred and forty acres, where he raises a gen- eral line of grain and crops, and is extensively en- gaged in feeding hogs, cattle, mules and horses, his market being mainly St. Louis. He is pro- gressive in his views as regards agriculture, and is fully abreast of the times in scientific and mod- ern ideas relating to the subject.


James A. McPike is the eldest son of Benja- min Hayden and Rachel J. McPike, natives of Kentucky and Virginia respectively, the former born near Pt. Royal, Henry County. (See their history elsewhere in this volume). Our subject was born April 23, 1838, in the same town in which his father's birth occurred, and came with his parents to Marion County, Mo., when about six months old. He had not yet attained his tenth birthday when he began following the plow, and from that time onward his time was occupied


with farm duties, except when he was pursuing his studies. When the War of the Rebellion broke out he enlisted for six months in Com- pany G, Forty-ninth Missouri State Militia, and faithfully served out his term. His only brother is W. B. McPike, of Bowling Green, whose sketch will be found on another page of this work.


On October 12, 1862, J. A. McPike married Miss Mary Jane Davis, daughter of James Har- vey and Letitia Reader (Staley) Davis. Their only other surviving child is Fannie, Mrs. L. F. A. D. Daniels. In 1843 James H. Davis was called to his final rest, and subsequently his widow became the wife of William B. Cox, by whom she had the following children: Nancy, Victoria, Au- gusta, William H., and John Forbes. Victoria C. died in Pike County, but the other children went to California, where they have all since passed away, except William H., who now re- sides in that State, and who married Miss M. E. Chamberlain, of California. Six children have come to bless the union of Mr. and Mrs. McPike, as follows: Benjamin A., Susan L., Fannie Maud, John William, one who died in infancy, and Frank Leslie. Susan married Vinton Par- geon, of Curryville, this county, and has one son. The younger children of our subject are still living at home and attending school.


Though now in his fifty-fifth year, Mr. McPike is as active as he was in his younger days, and is a well-preserved man. He stands high in the esteem of his fellow citizens, and is known to be a man of honor and integrity in all his dealings. Politically he has always been a firm believer in the platform of the Democracy. Formerly he was a member of the Baptist Church, but of recent years has outgrown their somewhat limited ten- ets of creed, and both he and his wife find in the Christian or Disciple Church the nearest ap- proach to their ideas.

GEORGE BACON, DECEASED.


"Peace to the just man's memory, Let it grow green in the lapse of time And blossom through the flight of ages."


W ILLIAM BACON, the colonist, came from England to some locality on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. On a casual return trip he fell dead in the streets of London. Dodson Bacon, a son, established a home two miles south of the present Laurel, Del., on a site now traversed by the railroad.


The Delaware Bacons were patriots, but other- wise their relation to the Revolution is to be as- certained. The son of Dodson was John, whose son was Henry Bacon (September 21, 1781-May 24, 1864) who on November 29, 1804, married Mary Parker (September II, 1786-April 4, 1817). Of this marriage George Bacon was born No- vember 15, 1809. The ancestral homestead is to-day owned by resident descendants of Henry Bacon. As a soldier in the Delaware militia he served at the British bombardment of Lewes, mis- called in history Lewistown.


George Bacon at sixteen began as a clerk, first at Laurel, Del., then at Baltimore, Md., and again at Laurel. Treading the path of the just, he, at said age, enlisted in the Methodist Church and austere piety dominated his subsequent social and business life. As a member of the earliest temperance organization, he devoted some youth- ful time to local lectures in that cause. At major- ity he embarked in business on his own account and so remained at Laurel until 1835 when, in search of a Western home, he visited Palmyra, Mo., traveling in part overland on horseback, through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. On his re- turn in 1836 he invested a capital of $2,000 in a


stock of dry goods and merchandise which he shipped to Palmyra. In 1837 George Bacon's was one of the two Palmyra houses that outrode the storm of general bankruptcy. In 1844 when the Methodist separation came he was a trustee in possession of the church keys. The minister in charge unavailingly essayed a transfer of the edifice to the original church.


On March 3, 1847, George Bacon, with his wife and four children, removed to Hannibal, Mo., where he established a stand as wholesale and re- tail grocer at the corner of Hill and First Streets for the first year and afterwards at No. 2 adjoin- ing. Commanding a region as far west as Sulli- van County, Mo., the venture proved at once successful. In 1855, as a member of the city council George Bacon was chairman of the com- mittee adjusting with the H. & St. J. R. R. Co., its terms of access over the public ways to the Mississippi River. This was a troublesome epi- sode, the Company seeking many harsh exac- tions.


In 1859, on the decline of the river commerce, the store was removed to 206 N. Main Street where it became an exclusively wholesale estab- lishment, successfully conducted till January I, 1874, when George Bacon retired. He died August 19, 1874. A memorial structure of pol- ished Ozark granite, twenty-four feet high, over- looks from Mt. Olivet Cemetery the scenes of his labors. During his entire career no financial revulsion, no commercial panic or bank suspen- sion could in the slightest way shadow the honor

of this house. Its founder left a personal name which remains a pyramid of light. He had no relish for public place. He belonged to the do- mestic element portrayed in elegiac stanza:


"Along the cool sequestered vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way."


His altruism was expressed in upholding public morals by a consistent and inflexible devotion to the duties of official laymanship in ecclesiastical service. They who view the physical as the in- cident and the perennial as the substance leave few records in civilian arena. The jury list seldom finds them and preferment is out of their line. Their gaze is trained on another shore. Their mission courts the promotion which shall sur- vive


"When victors' wreaths and monarchs' gems Shall blend in common dust."


At Palmyra, Mo., on September 6, 1837, George Bacon was married to Miss Catherine Lakenan, a Virginian, who accompanying rela- tives had come overland to Wheeling, Ohio, and thence by steamer "Navarino" down the Ohio and thence by steamer "Roanoke" to St. Louis and by another steamer to Greens' Landing (Marion City). On the stage trip to Palmyra across the river plain, deer were seen bounding over the prairie. This was in 1835. Catherine Lakenan was born in Fairfax County, Va., Feb. 19, 1817. Her father, Thomas Lakenan (May 17, 1787-May 26, 1820), was on August 29, 1811, married to Margaret Farr (April 26, 1794-January 12, 1830) whose ancestors saw official services in the patriot army. The Farrs appear to have come from Montgomery County, Md. The colonist Lakenan probably came over with Calvert and settled on the James River. Thomas Lakenan served in the war of 1812 and at the battle of Baltimore a British bullet through his lungs in- flicted an ultimately fatal injury. He died at Winchester, Va., and his widow with their three little children returned to her people in Fairfax County.


In 1825, welcomed by a floral arch, Lafayette and his suite registered in Fairfax Courthouse. On their arrival the village school was dismissed


for afternoon holiday and the people and children in the way of ovation assembled in the open square. By assignment Thomas Lakenan, an elder brother, delivered for the school a short ad- dress, at the close of which the aged Lafayette took up in his arms and kissed the little sister, Catherine Lakenan. According to her present rating Lafayette and his son were both of very homely visage. For many years she has been the sole survivor of her father's family. She too, at the age of sixteen entered the Methodist com- munion, in which, at Hannibal, Mo., her member- ship continues. As far as can be traced the an- cestors of George Bacon and his wife lived in the fear of God.


Of Thomas H. Bacon, the eldest son, the fol- lowing sketch is appended:


Born at Palmyra, Mo., July 10, 1839. From March 3, 1847, resident of Hannibal, Mo. Edu- cation academic and at St. Paul's College in 1856, and afterwards under Preceptor Rev. J. W. Dunn.
