HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY.
N. U. TOWNSLEY.
Prominent among the pioneer settlers of Johnson county, should be mentioned the name of N. U. Townsley. He was born in 1826, in Monroe county, Tenessee, September 9. His father, John Townsley, was a native of Ohio, but came to Tennessee at an early day. In the fall of 1833, he removed west with his family, locating in Johnson county, on the present farm of our subject. Improvements were soon commenced, and a log cabin was soon built, and a small farm soon opened. In the spring of 1850, his father, with two oldest sons, started for the gold fields of California, and remained about two years, when he returned, and was soon after wards called to that home above. Our subject was left in charge of the farm and family. In 1866 he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah A. Marr. She was the daughter of the late John Marr, and was born in this county. She was a lady highly beloved by all who knew her, for her many Christian and lovely traits of character. She died January 12, 1875. She left two children, Arthur and Madora Belle. His success in life has been very marked, as he commenced life for himself a poor boy, and through hard work and careful management, he has succeeded in making a comfortable home and snug fortune. He has always devoted his attention entirely to his business, and has never bothered himself with political affairs, as he deems a man's principles his most important quali- ties. He is giving his children the advantages of a liberal education, and bringing them up in an exemplary manner. He is a consistent member of the Christian church.

MAJ. JAMES WARNICK.
The worthy subject of this sketch was born Aug. 2, 1799. He married Siny P. Payton, daughter of John Payton, in Wilson county, Tenn., Nov. 13, 1823. For about two years after marriage they resided in Ruther- ford county, then removed to Henry county, where they remained about three years, and then returned to Wilson county, where they resided five years. In the spring of 1833, Mr. Warnick, with his family, started on the 16th day of April, for the state of Missouri, and arrived near Lexing- ton in May. In the fall of the same year, he made a permanent settle- ment near the head waters of Post Oak Creek, about two miles south- west of the present village of Cornelia. Soon after settling here, the . Osage Indians committed frequent depredations in the vicinity, and the militia were called out to drive the savages back upon their reservation. There were only three companies in Johnson county, and the captains were, James Warnick, John Ramsey and Capt. McCarty. The Indians were captured and removed beyond the settlements, after which the militia were disbanded. Going to mill in those early days was a diffi- cult task, necessitating a journey to Grand River, twenty miles, or to Lexington, forty miles away, and then perhaps being compelled to wait from one to three days for his turn. During his prime of physical man- hood, Mr. Warnick not only made an imposing soldierly appearance, but possessed the qualities of a good officer ; accordingly at one of the general musters held under the old militia law, he was elected Major of the regi- ment, and this was the origin of his present title. Maj. Warnick was. called at one time into north Missouri, to aid in driving the troublesome Mormons from the state. The names of his eight children are: Robert N., Nancy Elizabeth, John P., William S., Margaret F., Matilda Jane, James H. and Siny E. Every.member of this large and highly respected family is still living, the four sons living in the immediate neighborhood of their father, in the north part of Post Oak township. His wife departed this life Dec. 28, 1876, at the ripe age of 71 years. She was in many respects a remarkable woman, having shared with her husband all the privations and toils of a pioneer life, reared a large and useful family, was the sunshine and joy of the household, a kind mother, loving wife, and an exemplary Christian. Maj. W. has been a consistent member of the Cum- berland Presbyterian church for upwards of sixty years, and what is remarkable, his children and their children as soon as they have advanced to maturity, have united with the same Christian denomination. The direct lineal descendants of this worthy pair have reached the number of one hundred, and what is a source of greatest satisfaction in his declining years, is that they have become among the most respected and worthy

HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY.
citizens of the township and county. Maj. Warnick is now living with his son James H., and although his bodily vigor is somewhat impaired by many years of active labor and usefulness, his mental faclities are still strong, and he enjoys the society of friends and fluently converses upon the scenes of early days in Post Oak and Johnson county. Under his observation, and to a great extent under his care and influence, has grown up the Christian community, the social and political standing of his own township, and the county at large. May the worthy example which this sturdy Christian pioneer character of morethan four score years has left, be the attainment of all who shall follow him. Probably no man has been more thoroughly identified with, or more generally known in the early affairs of Post Oak township, than Maj. Warnick, and no family of greater influence than the Warnick family.
R. N. WARNICK, ...
born in Tennessee, December 3, 1824, son of Major James Warnick, whose biography is given here. When about nine years of age R. N. came with his parents to Missouri. At the age of twenty-one he commenced busi- ness for himself in raising stock. In the year 1846 he married Amanda J., daughter of Tarlton Oglesby, a prominent old settler of this county. Mr. Warnick has held several important civil offices. In 1874 he was elected justice of the peace, and holds the same office still. Mr. and Mrs. War- nick are faithful members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
GEORGE W. WATKINS,
was born in Madison county, New York. His father, Caleb Warren Watkins, was born in 1812, in the same state. George remained at home, clerking in his father's store, until he reached the age of nineteen years, when he came west, stopping first in Illinois for about two years, then he went to Arkansas. Returned to Illinois in 1873, and was married to Miss A. Johnson, who was born in Johnson county, Missouri. By this union they have three children living: Clifton, Rettie and Claude. In 1877 they moved to Kansas, and in 1880 to Missouri, settling on a farm in Post Oak township.
SAMUEL D. WHERRY,
farmer and stock raiser, P. O. Burnett Station, born in Beaver county, Pennsylvania, April 6, 1843. Son of Samuel Wherry, who was also a native of Pennsylvania. Our subject attended school in his native county, after which he removed to Ohio, residing for a short time in Delaware county, eighteen miles from Columbus. After living in Ohio about two years he came direct to Johnson county, Missouri, where he has ever since resided. Mr. Wherry's farm consists of 320 acres of land in one tract, and
881
HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY.
forty acres of timber in another. His farm is adorned with fruitful orch- ards, good buildings, fertile soil, green pastures and meadows, and, in fact, all the neccessary appliances usually found on a well ordered farm. His average acres of corn is about 160, besides some wheat and other crops. About 100 head of cattle and 500 head of hogs are yearly bought, fatted and sold by this enterprising stock dealer. Mr. Wherry is, perhaps, the most extensive stock man in Johnson county. He has a pair of eight-ton
scales for the purpose of weighing stock. His farm is well inclosed with about three miles of hedge fence, besides board and wire fence. The names of his three children in order of age, are: Ira, Samuel and Della. They are all small, the oldest being seven years of age. The respect and confidence with which he is held among his neighbors, is the well deserved tribute his earnest business qualities and sterling integrity so richly merit.
JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP. JOSEPH C. BAKER,
P. O. Windsor, is among the industrious and successful farmers of Jeffer- son township. He was born in the state of Baden, Germany, November 2, 1836, and educated in the schools of that country. He embarked for America at about the age of nineteen, and landed in the United States in 1855. He worked on a farm about three years, in Illinois, and then went to Louisiana, where he was engaged in cotton raising for about twelve years. When the war broke out he took the side of the south, and served three years in the Confederate army under Gen. Hindman. In the fall of 1863 he was captured by Gen. Sherman, and soon afterwards took the oath to be henceforth true to the Union, which he has observed ever since. In politics, although quite liberal, he votes with the Republicans. In the spring of 1864, in the state of Illinois, he was married to Miss Johanna Oalhas, and settled here in 1871, in section 7, township 44, range 24, and owns 355 acres of beautiful rolling agricultural land. He has 100 acres of fine blue-grass pasture. He is one of the most successful cattle feeders of the township. This year (1881) he has sixty-one acres in wheat, which yielded 1,020 bushels, which he sold at $1.35 per bushel, bringing $1,377. His family consists of four boys and two girls: Charles, Joseph, William, Frank, Anna and Rosa. He resides in Valley Grove school district num- ber one. He owns an excellent farm, midway between the High Point of Tebo and Clear Fork. His farm is handsomely situated, and very suit- able for stock raising and agricultural purposes. He has plenty of stock water during the dryest season. Mr. Baker is an industrious, hard work- ing farmer.

HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY.
and is one of the best stock farms in the county. Blue-grass does well here, and the little streams furnish an abundant supply of stock water. The soil is said to be underlaid with coal. Fruits of all kinds do well on this place, and it has one of the best orchards in the neighborhood. The land is rolling sufficient to be well drained, and yet does not wash away, and in many places it is underlaid with marl, and is suitable for sub-soil- ing. In politics, Mr. Clark is a true Democrat. He is still a single man, but nevertheless devoted to business, and in habits, sober and temperate, and stands' high in his neighborhood, with an unbroken, bright future before him.
DANIEL COOPER,
P. O. Windsor. Is one of the successful farmers of the township. He was born in the state of Kentucky, January 3, 1822, and came to Missouri with his father David Cooper, at the age of ten. Uncle Dabner Pettis, who taught a subscription school in a little log school house, was his first pioneer teacber. The teacher was no ordinary man, and young Dan pro- gressed rapidly, and will ever look back to that day with pleasure, as the silver hair's of age are coming on. He remained in bachelorhood until he was forty-seven years of age, strictly attending to business and improving his beautiful farm, and when the day did come for his nuptial feast he was united in holy wedlock to a beautiful and pious young lady, Miss Isabella A. McCray, daughter of a prominent farmer of Green county, Mo., April 8, 1869. Her father was a native of Tennessee, and settled in Green county, about 1851.

In his life, Mr. Cooper has made but one move, and that was one mile south of his father's old home, which will be, in January, 1882, fifty years since. In politics, he has never voted any other ticket but a straight Democratic ticket. In religion, he is a Baptist, and his wife a Southern Methodist. His location is among the finest in the township, beautifully situated on the divide between the waters of the Osage and Missouri rivers. Mr. Cooper, during the late war was with Gen. Price, and served honorably till the close of the struggle. He was present at the battle of Wilson Creek. Since the close of the war he has been counted among the enterprising husbandmen. One of the first things he did when he settled, was to plant a fine orch- ard. He has 200 acres of fine blue grass pasture, upon which graze fine cattle, sheep and horses. Although it was late in life when he became
