Clifton B. Haden
Mr. Haden is a representative farmer of Ralls County, and descended from one of the oldest families in the State. Clifton B.Haden is a native of this county, and was born within a half mile of where he now resides, November 12, 1841. He was the son of Henley and Harriet (Bailey) Haden, the parents of four children, of whom Clifton and Robert Haden are the only survivors. The father was born about the year 1811 in the State of Kentucky, and there grew to early manhood.His parents came to Missouri about that time, settling one mile north of where Clifton B. now lives, and where he was (later) born. In this State Henley Haden met and married Miss Bailey, a native of Virginia.Her parents came to Missouri and became prominent people in the State.After acquiring a goodly fund of information in the common schools,and when twenty years of age, our subject determined to take unto himself a wife and helpmate in the person of Miss Frances Fuqua. Their marriage was celebrated February 2, 1862. Miss Frances was the daughter of James Fuqua and sister of James. After his union Mr.Hayden purchased a tract of one hundred and fourteen acres of land,which he was enabled to do with his father's assistance, and with his young wife began housekeeping under a cloudless sky; this is the same property on which he now resides. He was enterprising and industrious,and his progressive spirit soon brought him to the front, and prosperity has attended his every effort. From time to time, as his means would allow, he purchased additional real estate, until he was the possessor of four hundred and forty-five broad acres, one hundred and fifty-six of which he has given to his son Robert. This, aside from being one of the largest estates in the county, is one of the best improved, and consequently one of the most productive. To Mr. and Mrs. Haden have been born eight children, six of whom survive, namely:1. James H., who married Miss Emarilla Jackson and has one daughter,named Lela, 2. Lucy, who married W.T. Jackson and is the mother of a son, Lloyd, 3. Robert W., who married Miss Mattie Pritchett, and they have two children, Roy R. and Marie, 4. Nora, 5. Docia L., 6. Edgar,who are home with their parents. Mr. Haden is an affable and courteous gentleman, upright in character, and has won the respect and esteem of all who know him. In politics he supports the candidates of the Democratic party, and in religious views is a devoted member of the Christian Church. He is and always has been greatly interested in the cause of education in his neighborhood and has been a member of the School Board for a number of years.
