David H. Eby passed his early life in Hannibal and was a schoolboy during the great Civil War. He remained a student until 1868, and among the teachers whose names bring up pleasant memories to his mind were Marion D. Conway, William Cross, F. B. McElroy, Miss Nannie McVeigh and Miss Mollie Meadows. He was fond of fun and perhaps inclined to be a trifle mischievous, trying his teachers' patience, but he always appreciated their efforts to advance him in his studies. His education was finished in Central College, Fay- ette, Mo., from which he graduated with the de- gree of Bachelor of Science in 1872. At the be- ginning of the next school year he was offered a position as assistant teacher in the Plattsburg (Mo.) High School, remaining there a year, at the end of which time (the fall of 1873) he was enrolled as a student in the Law Department of the Missouri State University at Columbia. As he had prepared himself in a friend's office in the elementary work, he was able to complete the Junior and Senior Courses in one year and took the degree of Bachelor of Laws. In 1874 he opened an office in Hannibal, but three years later moved to Colorado Springs, Col., where he re- mained a short time. During two years' residence in that State he was variously employed, a part of the time as teacher, then as manager in a gen- eral store, clerk in a hotel, School Director and Justice of the Peace, having been elected to the last-named position. His western experiences were doubtless of benefit to him and enlarged his views of life, and in the fall of 1877 he came back to this city, settling down for the regular practice of his profession.


In 1881 Mr. Eby was elected on the Democratic ticket to the office of City Recorder, was reelected, serving three terms, and in 1884 was made City Attorney, being twice reelected to that office and


serving altogether for three years. Again in 1890 he was honored with the position of City Attor- ney and the following year was returned to the office. As his practice includes both civil and criminal cases, he has ample opportunity to try his skill in different directions and finds this method is more lucrative than any other. In manner he is pleasant and agreeable, readily making friends.


In 1880 Mr. Eby was united in marriage to Sarah E., daughter of Benjamin F. and Emily (Gilman) Eby. The young couple have become the parents of three children, a son and two daugh- ters, namely: Jeannie G., Hattie F. and Notley F.


E UGENE N. BONFILS was born October 13, 1829. His father, Salvatori Bonfiglo (Buonfiglio in the Italian, Sauveur Bonfils in French, his full name being Sauveur François Bonfils), was born in 1795 in Tempio, Island of Corsica. He was educated at the University of Pisa, Italy, and was a strong adherent of the First Napoleon and was Secretary, with the rank of Adjutant, to Gen. Garraso, of Murat's Army. His father was formerly Minister from France to Sardinia. In 1817 he sailed from the port of Rome, on board the barge "Cleopatria," as the invited guest of Commodore Crownenshield, and landed in Boston in the fall of that year. He was for some time teacher of Italian at Cambridge and of French and Italian to the junior officers on the United States man-of-war "Independence," Com- modore Bainbridge. In 1819 he was married at Dedham, Mass., to Miss Lucinda Alden, a de- scendant in the seventh generation of John Alden, who came over in the "Mayflower" in 1620. Of this marriage eight children were born, five sons and three daughters, the only survivors being Dr. Julius Bonfils of St. Louis County, Mo .; Eugene N. Bonfils of Hannibal, Mo .; Sereno D. Bonfils of the city of New York. Sauveur F. Bonfils spent his life in the cause of education. He was Professor of Modern Languages and Literature in the State University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, for many years prior to 1838. He also held the

same chair in Transylvania University, Lexing- ton, Ky., where he died July 6, 1849. His wife died in Boston, Mass., March 27, 1851.


The subject of this sketch was married Decem- ber 21, 1854, in Lincoln County, Mo., to Miss Henrietta B. Lewis, born December 18, 1833, at Charlotteville, Va., and the youngest child of Thomas M. Lewis and Emeline (Wyman) Lewis. Thomas M. Lewis was the great-grandson of Col. Robert Lewis of Belvoir, Va., and also of Rev. William Douglas of Virginia. Eight children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy: Thomas L., a merchant and farmer of Perry, Okla. Ter .; Dr. William D., a dentist of Troy, Mo .; Fred G., a banker and broker of Kansas City, Mo .; Henrietta L. (Mrs. James H. Walker, Jr.) of Raton, N. M .; Nellie (Mrs. David R. Lockard), of Raton, N. M .; Charles A., City Engineer of Hannibal, Mo.


Eugene N. Bonfils is by profession a lawyer. He graduated at Transylvania University in 1849 and was admitted to the bar at Troy, Mo., in 1858. He has held several important positions, among them being Judge of the Probate Court of Lin- coln County, Mo., and Special Agent of the Gen- eral Land Office for South Dakota and Wyoming during Cleveland's first administration. In 1882 he organized a fraternal organization known as the Triple Alliance. He is now and has since that time been the Secretary of said society and is now solely engaged in attending to its affairs.


W ILLIAM A. WILCOXEN. This pros- perous farmer of Pike County was born here June 25, 1847. He has a valuable estate lying in Ashley Township, to the cultivation of which he devotes his time and en- ergies, and has the satisfaction of knowing that it is one of the finest tracts of land in the town- ship.


The parents of our subject were Benjamin A. and Sarah A. (Mackey) Wilcoxen, the former born in Bullitt County, Ky., in 1824, and is sup- posed to have been of Turkish descent. This is


known, however, that he came to Missouri when a small boy and later located on a farm in Marion County. Later in life he came to Pike County, and here married Sarah Mackey. This couple lived for eight years on property near Clarks- ville, and when selling that, the father purchased a larger farm in the same nighborhood, where he spent his entire life, dying December 1, 1880.


The father of Benjamin, Thomas Wilcoxen, was married in Bullitt County, Ky., to Sarah Pra- ther, and removed to Bourbon County, the same State, where his wife died in 1828, and the family came to Missouri. The father died in 1836, and was buried three miles east of Palmyra, this State, in the Armstrong burying ground. The two fam- ilies separated in St. Louis. Ruthie Jones died in Scotland County in 1847. Nervie Jones died in Shelby County in 1844. Mary Wilcoxen died in Marion County, as did William Wilcoxen. The brothers and sisters of Benjamin A. were as fol- lows: Sarah Summers died in Marion County; Nellie Fuqua died in Marion County in 1846; Nancy Alton died in Marion County in 1882; Wesley, born in 1823, died July 7, 1892, and was buried in Monroe City cemetery; Lizzie Roads lives in Willow. Springs, Alameda County, Cal .; Hamilton and Walter both died in Kentucky be- fore the family came to this State.


To Benjamin and Sarah Wilcoxen there were born ten children, three of whom died when young. William A. is our subject; John T. is liv- ing on a portion of the home farm; Edna D. is now Mrs. William M. Scott, and lives on a good estate belonging to her husband, near Louisiana, Mo .; Willie E. married Lemuel Patterson, and is living near Clarksville; Marion is also a resident of that neighborhood; Sarah J. married O. M. Fry, and they have a farm near Louisiana, this State; and Nora P. is living with her sister, Mrs. Patterson.


William lived at home with his father until twenty-eight years of age. He was married No- vember 12, 1874, to Mary V. Emerson, and about that time purchased a farm in Ashley Township, on which he moved and has made his home ever since. It is well-improved in every particular, for which state of affairs the owner, who is a man

of enterprise and energy, must be given all the credit.


Of the six children born to our subject and his wife, two died in infancy ; Thomas H., Roy L., Ho- mer C., and Ruby L. are all at home. Mr. Wil- coxen is deeply interested in the education of his children and intends giving them every advantage in his power. The eldest son is at present a stu- dent in the State University at Columbia, Mo.


Mrs. Mary Wilcoxen is the daughter of Will- iam B. and Mary (Lindsay) Emerson. Her father was born in Louisa County, Va., January 31, 1819. He came to Pike County with his par- ents when a young man, and after his union with Miss Lindsay settled on a farm on Noix Creek. Of their five children one died when young; Hat- tie married Joseph Patton, and lives in this county ; Thomas G. is a merchant in Alton, Ill .; Mary V., now Mrs. Wilcoxen, and Maggie, who is the widow of Joseph Durham, and lives in Bowling Green.


In religious affairs our subject is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and one of the active workers in his congregation. He is a Democrat, politically, and one of the influential members of his party in his township. Mr. Wilcoxen is the proprietor of six farms, comprising in all about eleven hundred acres, the most of which he rents. He is one of the stockholders in the Citizens' Bank of Bowling Green and the Citizens' Bank of Clarksville, Mo.


R ICHARD B. CONN, Bank Director and farmer, is a native of Marion County, Mo .. born January 4, 1839, and was third in a family of ten children born to James W. and Catherine (Bird) Conn, of whom six are still liv- ing. The father was a native of Virginia, born in 1804. As he grew to manhood he was given a thorough education and began his career in Vir- ginia in the mercantile line, clerking in a general store for two years. He was then appointed


Deputy Sheriff and served in that capacity some two years. In 1830 he came to Missouri on a tour of inspection, and after about eighteen months spent in Marion County, he was so well pleased with the country that he returned to Vir- ginia, was married, and with his young wife came to Missouri and settled in Marion County, where he spent about twenty years as a farmer. In 1852, with his family, he removed to Ralls County, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was a man of unusually bright intellect, well educated, and was said to be one of the best penmen in the county. Ill health prevented him, however, from entering upon an active business life, and for this reason he was a quiet farmer. His death occurred many years ago.


The subject of this sketch grew to manhood upon his father's farm, and received a primary education in the common school, finishing with a four years' course at the Van Rensselaer Academy. On leaving school he settled down to the life of a farmer, and for some years traded ex- tensively in stock, buying and shipping, and in this way laid the foundation for his present com- fortable home. In 1867, after having passed his twenty-eighth year, he was in a position to pro- vide for a wife, and on the 31st of October of that year he married Jane A. Briscoe. In 1870 lie purchased his present farm and has here since made his residence. His wife was the daughter of Philip and Permelia (Emerson) Briscoe, who were natives of Kentucky and came to Missouri at an early day. To Mr. and Mrs. Conn have been born four children : Philip, James, Permelia, and William A., all of whom are yet at home. Mr. Conn is a very practical farmer, and one that keeps abreast of the times. His farm consists of three hundred and fifty acres, well improved and entirely free from encumbrance. He is a man with many friends, and well deserves the high opinion in which he is held by his friends and neighbors. In politics he is a Democrat, and has been Road Overseer at various times for the past ten years. Socially he is a member of the United Workmen.

WILLIAM HENRY FEASTER.


W ILLIAM HENRY FEASTER, now living a retired life, resides on Section 15, Township 58, Range 7. He is a native of Montgomery County, Md., born August 5, 1812, and is a son of Henry and Mary (Bow- den) Feaster, who were natives of Middletown Valley, Frederick County, Md., where they were married, and later moved to Montgomery County, in the same State. They remained in the latter county several years, and then returned to Frederick County, where they spent the remain- der of their days. The mother died in 1826, at the age of forty-five. The father died in 1853, at the age of seventy. They were parents of nine children, four sons and five daughters: Susan and Jonathan, deceased; Elizabeth, who married Peter Rose, now deceased; Mary A., married H. Wadsworth, and is now deceased; William H., our subject; Daniel, deceased; Matilda, married C. Wadsworth, now deceased; Martha, married to J. Brownie; Margaret was also the wife of J. Brownie, and is now deceased; and Emanuel, deceased. On the death of his first wife, Henry Feaster married the Widow Burns. By this last marriage there were no children. Mrs. Feaster, by her first husband, had one daughter, Almira, who is now deceased, but who was twice married, first to Richard Waters, and later to Samuel Har- gette. Both her husbands are now deceased.


The subject of this sketch grew to manhood in his native State, and received such education as a common school of that day afforded. He re- mained under the parental roof until the age of twenty-three, when he rented a farm in connec- tion with his brother-in-law, which he occupied two years. He then came to Missouri, and made his home at Palmyra, but engaged in farm work by the month, which he continued a few years.


In March, 1840, at West Ely, Mo., he married Mary J. Earhardt, who was a native of Virginia, and a daughter of Philip Earhardt, who was also a native of that State. Her father came to Pal- myra, Mo., in the fall of 1837, and remained in this county during the remainder of his life. To our subject and wife have been born nine chil- dren, six sons and three daughters: Philip H., de- ceased; Daniel S., a farmer in Union Township, was first married to Sidney A. Crane, also of that township, who died, leaving one child, also de- ceased; his second wife was Mary Phillips, by whom he has seven children: Lilburn, Philip, John, Milton, Lillie, Nellie and Effie. Margaret E. is the wife of Preston Young, a farmer and miner of Butte County, Col .; their children are as follows: Archibald, deceased; Preston, Daniel, Mary, Alice, Josie, William, James, Ernest and John; William E., a farmer of this township, mar- ried Annie Phillips, who is now deceased; their children are Lizzie, Effie, Joe and John H., all at home; Mary E. is the wife of Henry Kiser, a farmer in Warren Township, and they have two children, Philip T. and Mary E .; Samuel J. is a merchant at Philadelphia, Mo., and has been twice married; his first wife was Emma Menefee, of Marion County, who died, leaving three children, Roger, Willie Mary and Leuellie; his second wife was Mrs. Lizzie Smith, of this county, and they have one child, Jennie. Emanuel P. lives at home and manages the estate; Martha J. is the wife of James Rogers, of Palmyra ; their children are Er- nest, Samuel J., and Jennie; John is a farmer in this township; he married Carrie Crane, and they have two children, Inez and Thomas. Mr. Feas- ter has six great-grandchildren.


Shortly after his marriage, Mr. Feaster pur- chased eighty acres of land on South River, which

he improved, and where he remained until 1861, when he came to his present home of four hun- dred and eighty acres of fine land. Here he has a splendid, well-improved farm, and is engaged in general farming. Politically, he is a Democrat. His children were all given good educations, and each of them have been well provided for in this life. No family in Marion County is more de- serving of respect than that of William H. Feaster.


M ARQUIS D. FOUNTAIN (deceased) was one of the most respected citizens of Liberty Township, Marion County. He was summoned to the home beyond January 12, 1887, at the old homestead of his wife's parents, where he had dwelt for many years. He was a member of the Methodist Church, with which he became identified some three years before his de- mise, and to his wife and children he left an hon- ored name and an unblemished record; his many sincere friends have deeply deplored his loss.


The birth of M. D. Fountain occurred in Van Buren County, Iowa, March 2, 1844, and while he was still a mere lad he moved with his parents to Missouri, and here grew to man's estate. Dur- ing this time his home was in Lewis County, about three miles south of Deer Ridge, on a farm, where he received a district-school education; he was also a student in Michigan. After devoting some time to farming he went to Hannibal, Mo., and found employment in a lumber-yard, after which he rented for a year a farm in Lewis Coun- ty and about 1877 settled on the old homestead where his wife was born and where the family have since resided.


February 28, 1867, occurred the marriage of our subject and Frances B., daughter of Joel and Caro- line Thrasher, and born July 23, 1845, on the farm which lies about four miles east of Palmyra. She became the mother of four children, namely: Joel Watson, born July 29, 1868, has recently taken a commercial course of training; Caroline, born January 2, 1870, was married to Marquis McRea of Lewis County, October 16, 1889, and has one


child-Marquis Russell-the family residing at No. 338 Chestnut street, Hannibal, where Mr. Mc- Rea is manager of the feed store of C. M. Algers; Marquis Henry, born February 13, 1878, has full control of his mother's farm and is an enterprising young man; Frances, born July 13, 1877, is still attending the schools of the neighborhood and lives with her mother.


Mr. Fountain had little interest in public offices, preferring to give his entire attention to his home and family. A few months during the war he served in the Confederate Army and politically he was a Democrat. In his religious faith he was a Methodist and ever strove to show forth in his daily life the teachings of the Golden Rule. For sixteen months before his death he was a great sufferer, but bore his affliction bravely and was fully resigned to die. He is now sleeping his last sleep in the cemetery of Thrasher's Chapel, his funeral services having been conducted by the Rev. Mr. Kennell. Our subject was of French extraction, but his father was a native of Delaware and for many years resided in Van Buren County, Iowa; his last days were spent in Missouri, where he died October 9, 1867, aged sixty-one years, and was buried at Deer Ridge, while his wife, who departed this life in 1888, was first buried at . Thrashers' Chapel, but a year later her remains were placed by the side of her husband. Their children were named as follows: John, William, Henry, Solomon, Marquis D., Josephine, George Ann and Maria.


Mrs. Fountain is now the owner of the farm which previously belonged to her father and grandfather. She is the eldest of five children, one of whom died in infancy. Her brother, John F., born August 29, 1847, married Sarah Rush and they are now residents of Hannibal, where Mr. Thrasher is employed in the milling business; William Porter, born April 7, 1849, married Rach- el English, who died September 22, 1874, and he is now a resident of Lewis County; Joel Francis, born April 30, 1853, married Fannie English and is now living in Hannibal. The father of these children, Joel Thrasher, was born February 19, 1824, and died in the faith of the Methodist Church January 16, 1875. His wife Caroline, born Oc- tober 14, 1824, is now living with her youngest

son in Hannibal. Joel Thrasher being a member of the Masonic order was buried under the aus- pices of the fraternity and in his honor the mem- bers of his lodge wore mourning for thirty days. He had one hundred and ten acres of land, which is rented to a son; the present homestead was built by the father in 1855.


A RMONGSTRONG M'ADAMS is a native of Harrison, Ky., born October 24, 1827; he is of Scotch ancestry. His grandfather, McAdams, was one of the first settlers of Cin- cinnati, Ohio, and resided there when it was neces- sary to live in the fort as protection from the In- dians. At one time he owned six hundred and twenty acres of land, of which West Cincinnati forms a part. He died in Cincinnati at the age of one hundred and ten years. The day of his death he walked one-half mile, trimmed some fruit trees and, returning to the house, fell dead. He was the father of eight children, seven sons and one daughter.


Armongstrong McAdams, Sr., the father of our subject, was educated in the schools of Cin- cinnati, and in early life was an apprentice to a hatter named McFarland. On completing his trade, and when about twenty years of age, he left Cincinnati and went from place to place, working at his trade in different cities. He finally located near Paris, Bourbon County, Ky., where he married Nancy Purcell, a native of Kentucky. Here he bought land and engaged in farming until 1835, when he sold out and moved to Pike County, Mo., where he entered two hundred and forty acres of land and there spent the remainder of his life. When the second war with Great Britain broke out he enlisted in the service at Paris and marched all the way to Canada. His company was captured by the Indians and British and confined in rail pens, being exposed to the inclemency of the Canadian winter without suf- ficient clothing or protection of any kind. Here he received injuries from which he never recov- ered; his death occurred in 1856 and he was bur-


ied with Masonic honors, being a Master Mason. His wife died of cholera in Kentucky. They were the parents of eight children: Edward D., who lived and died in Houston, Ky .; Eliza, who remained single and died in Kentucky; Stephen, who removed to Pike County, Mo., and there died; Missouri, who married Underwood Ber- nard, of Ralls County; Mary J., who married Wayne Glascock; Barney, who located in Pike County, where he died; Armongstrong, who is the subject of our sketch, Rachel, who married Charles Flores, of Pike County. Before leaving Kentucky the father of these children married Prudence Alexander.


Armongstrong McAdams, the subject of our sketch, was reared on the home farm in Pike County and was educated in the public schools. In 1850 he crossed the plains by horse team to California and was six months en route. He lo- cated on Weaver Creek and engaged in mining in different places for three years. He returned home by water and the Gulf & Mississippi Railroad. On his return he was engaged as overseer for James Glasscock, with whom he remained until 1859, when he went to Colorado and spent one season. Returning to his old home he again entered the service of Mr. Glasscock and was with him when the war broke out. He enlisted in the State Mi- litia and served three years. In the fall of 1864 he was mustered out and went to Montana, where he engaged in mining and remained four years, be- ing reasonably successful.


In 1867 he returned to Missouri and bought one hundred and thirty acres of land, which he has since made his home. He was married Oc- tober 14, 1877, to Avarilla Hyde, widow of Pres- ton Hyde, and daughter of Edmund and Eliza- beth (Hayden) Bailey; she was born in Ralls County, Mo. Her father was born in Virginia and her mother in Kentucky. After his marriage our subject remained on his farm until the death of his wife, which occurred on February 25, 1883. By their union was born one child, who died in infancy.


Some two years after the death of his wife Mr. McAdams married Mrs. Polly Tompkins, widow of C. W. Tompkins and daughter of George and
