From the "Hanover/ Bailey Station - Jefferson County, Missouri; Bailey/ Harrison/ England/ Donnell/ Waggener families
By: Lisa K. Gendron
James McCormack England went to California by oxcart when he was seventeen years old to seek his fortune in gold. He remained there for four years, and then returned to Jefferson County where he became a prominent farmer and businessman at Hematite and Bailey Station. He owned the White Rock Mill at Hematite for many years. He was also in various merchandising enterprises. He began merchandising at Hematite in about 1865. He built a new brick store in Hematite in 1875, Mr. Donnell occupying the old store. He bought the store back from Mr. T. N. Donnell at Hematite in June 1877. It was robbed in December 1878 and also in 1880. In January 1881 Mr. England quit the merchandising business in order to give all of his attention to his mill. He went back in to the merchandising business in order to give all of his attention to is mill. He went back into the mercantile business at the old brick store sometime before 1888, having sold the mill. He held the position of postmaster in Hematite for sixteen years.
Mr. England married Elizabeth Waggener, daughter of R.G. and Mary Waggener. Their children were: Mary Alice, Margaret Belle, James Ruben, Richard Edmund, Ella Florence, Lettie Lee, John Waitt, William Ross, and Minnie Anges England. Mr. England died in 1904.
