ANDERSON J. WRAY, LAMAR.
O NE of the representative lawyers of Southwest Missouri is the gentleman of this sketch. He has lived at Lamar since 1869, and the manner in which he has grown in the respect and esteem of his neighbors is the highest testimony to his standing as a

man and citizen. His success as a lawyer is sure evidence that he is deserving of the same, for in the law perhaps more than any profession, operates that rigid law of the sur- vival of the fittest. The physician, with wise look, lacking in the industry and mental strength to make himself expert in his profession, may still deceive many into rating him with men of medical lore who know their business; the trickster and demagogue in politics, by smooth and specious pretense, may lead the unthinking public to believe his patriotism real and his motives unselfish; the pulpit before now has been seized and by its aid some meretricious perforiner has been enabled to lift himself into notice and notoriety; and even tlie journalist, the simplicity of whose duties would seem to make deceit impossible, some- times hires other men to furnish the brains for which he serenely takes the credit. But with the law it is otherwise. The inept in that profession is merely a pettifogger. Such is the nature of its practice that it tests a inan's fitness with exactitude, and by such a standard of measurements, the people of the Southwestern part of the State acknowledge Mr. Wray as one of their ablest, most skillful lawyers. As a practitioner he has been very successful, being endowed with the investigating and discriminating faculty of mind which fits him in an especial degree for his calling. From the beginning, induced to look upon the law as a great science, he has applied himself with diligence to understanding it, realizing, to paraphrase a certain axiom, that "life is short, the law long," and hence he is respected as one who is entitled to speak of or on that subject with authority.
Anderson J. Wray was born in Shelby County, Indiana, February 4, 1842. His father, Hardy Wray, is a physician, and is still practicing in Shelby County, Indiana. His father, the paternal grandfather of Anderson J., was likewise a physician. The Wrays are of Scotch descent, and have been prominent citizens of Indiana since the memory of man "rumieth not to the contrary." The exact date of their settlement in that State is not known, so far back is it, but it was certainly at a day when Indiana was little more than virgin forest and prairie. Dr. Hardy Wray married Belinda Fox, who became the mother of our subject. The Foxes are numerous and influential in North Carolina, but the branch to which Mrs. Wray belonged, settled in Indiana long before the war.
The subject of this sketch spent his youth in the State where he was born. He began his education in the common schools of Shelby County, finishing at Hartsville University of Indiana. It was about this period in his career, that the Civil War broke forth. He had followed the events that led up to that conflict closely, and with all the fire and entliu- siasm of youth was a partisan of the North. He had just passed his nineteenth birthday when Sumter was bombarded on that memorable morning of April 12, 1861. This out- break fired the blood of the young man with patriotic fervor, and he set about preparations to go to the defense of his country. By August, four months after the first attack, he had enlisted in the Seventh Indiana Regiment of Volunteers. He served throughout the con- flict, giving his country brave and faithful service and passing through all the hardships and dangers incidental to the fortunes of war. In 1863 he was promoted, being commis- sioned a Lieutenant. His first service was in Banks' Corps, through all the hotly fought contests of the Virginian battlefields. He was afterward transferred to the Army of the Cumberland.
During the latter part of the conflict he formed the decision to adopt the law as his profession whenever "white-winged Peace" again hovered over the land. Some time after his discharge, therefore, and his return to his Indiana home, he went to Columbus, Indiana, andbe gan his readings in the office of Hord & Richardson, well known lawyers

of that town. Before he had entirely finished his studies, he in 1869 came West, and locating at Lamar, there under the tutelage of O. E. Brown and R. B. Robinson completed his studies. He was admitted to practice at Lamar in 1872 and has been in practice there since. In 1878 he formed a partnership with R. J. Tucker which existed until 1881. After its dissolution, Mr. Wray associated himself with Berry G. Thurman, a partnership which is still maintained.
Mr. Wray is a great friend of education and one of the active workers in that cause, and is especially an advocate of the system of Normal School instruction. For twenty-one years he was School Superintendent of Barton County, and for many years President of the Lamar Board of Education. For three years he has been one of the Board of Regents of the Second Normal School District. In politics, Mr. Wray keeps in close touch with his party, but as he is a member of the minority party in Missouri, he has never taken an active personal interest in political campaigns. He is a Mason and one who keeps in close touch with the fraternity.
ROBERT L. YEAGER, KANSAS CITY.
R OBERT L. YEAGER is an attorney who has been long resident of Kansas City, in fact the whole terin of his life as a professional inan is included within the time lie has lived in that city. He was born in Kentucky, in Oldham County, August 26, 1843, and under the blue grass sod of that State both his parents are buried. The father, Elijah Yeager, was born in Virginia and married Elizabeth Lewis Redd, who was a native Ken- tuckian. Their son, with whom this sketch deals, spent his life up to his ninth year on the paternal farm, when his mother and father both dying within ten days of each other, lie came to Missouri to make his home, working upon a farm and attending the country school, until he was fifteen years of age, he then entered St. Paul Episcopal College, at Palmyra, Missouri, graduating there in the spring of 1861.
That he was of Southern birth and breeding profoundly influenced him in taking sides in the great contest that broke like a deluge over the States about the time he left school. He espoused the cause of his own people, and though but a stripling, enlisted with the conviction that lie could bear the privations and hardships of war with as much forti- tude as a tried and toughened veteran. It was only a few months after his graduation that he was a member of Kneisley's Battery, where he served as an artilleryman a year and a half, or until he was transferred to Prindall's Battalion of sharpshooters. This battalion belonged to Parsons' division of Price's corps, and with it the young soldier served until the close of the war. He was an intrepid soldier as well as a most for- tunate one, for while he was in the heat of scores of skirmishes and most of the nota- ble engagements fought by Price's army, he passed through the conflict without a scratch.
The youthful veteran accepted the result of the Civil War like a true American - with his face set toward the future and with that sanguine optimism which is one of the guiding principles of the Anglo-Saxon people. He, with thousands of his comrades, took up life anew, and inspired with a love of change and longing for the new and strange, sought Texas as offering great possibilities in that respect. There he began the study of law, occupying the position of a student for one year in the office of ex-Governor Throckmorton,

at Mckinney, Texas. Leaving Texas at the end of the year he journeyed to his native State and at once entered the Kentucky Law Sehool at Louisville. Graduating in 1867, he returned to Missouri and opened an office at Kansas City. He has been in continuous prac- tice there since, and although he has not passed middle age, is entitled to be rated one of tlie pioneer lawyers of that inetropolis.
Mr. Yeager has proved himself singularly well fitted for the law as a profession and has been very successful. His well balaneed judgment, practical good sense, clear mentality, and power to concentrate his mind on the bearings of a case have been the contributory elements of liis success. While devoted to his profession, such is his energy that tlie surplus has found expression in many public enterprises that have been of benefit to his adopted city. He has never sought office, but rather against his inclination, he was elected in 1872 Prosecuting Attorney of Jackson County. He was his own successor in 1874, and was tendered the office for a third term, but declined. Nevertheless, in 1890 he was appointed City Counselor, and after serving one year, resigned. He has engaged to some extent in business enterprises, and is now a director of the First National Bank and President of the Safety Savings and Loan Association. Politically, he is a Democrat, and has yielded his party excellent service as Chairman of the Fifth District Congressional Com- mittee. He stands high in Masonic circles and is a Knight of Honor.
But it is because of his great work in behalf of the common schools that Mr. Yeager is best known outside his praetiee. In April, 1879, he was elected a director of the public schools, and on the resignation of Hon. J. V. C. Karnes, in March, 1882, was elected Presi- dent of the Board, a position he yet liolds. The sehools and school government of Kan- sas City are famed far and wide. None but the best and most honorable citizen is elected to the Board, and that the system has attained such perfection is due largely to the devoted efforts of the Board's President. Superintendent J. M. Greenwood, an able and widely known edueator who has been intimately connected with Mr. Yeager and his work, says of him:
"Of a kind and sympathetic nature, a heart open always to distress and suffering and, yet having a judgment broad, comprehensive and discriminating, a elear insight into human nature, and a good interpreter of public sentiment, coupled with a keen, prudent, business sagacity, no one was ever better fitted to discharge the duties of such a position than he is. His qualities of mind and heart are of that sterling character which shirks no responsi- bility and never liesitates in the performance of a duty. * *
* The ambition of his life has been to make the public schools the crowning glory of Kansas City. To this end he has worked night and day. His devotion has been crowned with the fullest measure of success. As the chief adviser and director, lie lias guided and watehed both interests with a zeal and an unselfish devotion that have won for him the approbation of all classes of citi- zens. *
* * No school question lias ever been presented to him for consideration. without his giving it careful attention. His liabit is to look at all sides of a matter before deciding upon its merits or demerits. No one was ever freer from prejudice than he, and he has advocated at all times the broadest toleration. *
* * * No otlier cit- izen has bequeathed a purer, cleaner, brighter record of unsullied citizenship and patriotic devotion to duty in all vocations of life thian Hon. Robert L. Yeager."
Mr. Yeager was married to Miss Leonora Forbis, of Independence, Missouri, in 1870. 'They have five bright children, and both parents and children are members of the Christian Church.
