William T. McQuitty - The farmer of today is quite a contrast to the one of fifty years ago. His home now is equipped with all modern conveniences and in touch with all of his neighbors and the neighboring cities by the telephone and automobile. The home of William McQuitty of Big Creek township is an example of one of the modern farmer's homes where comfort and beauty are combined in its appointments. Fifty years ago when George McQuitty, sire of William McQuitty established his home upon these same rolling prairies the scene presented quite a different view. Among such surroundings was William McQuitty born November 7, 1875, to his parents, George and Martha (Johnson) McQuitty. George W. McQuitty was born September 16, 1839, in Boone County, Missouri, and was a soldier of the Civil War, serving under Gen. Sterling Price, enlisting in February, 1862, in Company C, Sixth Missouri Infantry, under Colonel Irvin. Mr. McQuitty was captured by the Northern forces and for some time was interned in Alton, Illinois, prison, at Grand Gulf. Afterwards he was paroled and returned home. In 1867 he came from Boone County, Missouri, to Henry County, and purchased the farm on which his son William now resides, and he made his home here until his death, October 20, 1914. January 25, 1875, he married Martha Johnson, a daughter of Robert R. Johnson, and a native of Kentucky. The following children were born to them: William T., the subject of this sketch; Mrs. Edith Butcher, Big Creek township; George, farming a portion of the home place, whose sketch appears in this volume; Alice of Blairstown, Missouri; Martha, wife of C. F. Crews, Big Creek township; Maude, wife of Leonard Maizze of Shawnee township. Mrs. Martha McQuitty died December 19, 1909. G. W. McQuitty and wife had three children: John, residing at Welch, Oklahoma; Elizabeth and George, twins, the former dying in infancy and the latter at 36 years of age. She married J. J. Stansberry and at her death left a daughter, Mrs. Beulah Julian. William T. McQuitty received his early education in the schools of Big Creek township. For many years he has been farming his portion of the estate and raising great numbers of hogs and cattle. His place is equipped with two large barns, one 58x72 feet with a basement for the stock and a feeder 20x80 feet. A well, 372 feet deep, supplies water in sufficient quantities the year around for his large herd of cattle. On October 2, 1901, Mr. McQuitty was united in marriage with Hattie Freeman, who died April 10, 1903. They had one son, William Howard, who is at home with his father. His second marriage took place December 26, 1905, to Lucy Hazard. This marriage has been blessed with the following children: George H., Hildredth A. and Helen, twins; Sarah Margaret, James T., and David W., all of whom are at home attending the public schools. Mrs. Lucy McQuitty was born April 3, 1883, near Campbellsville, Kentucky, the daughter of William M. and Sarah Catherine (Sacra) Hazard. They removed from Kentucky to Henry County in 1884, and for some time farmed near Clinton, but are now located at Vernon, Texas. They are the parents of the following children: Mrs. Jessie Cameron, Lewis Station, Missouri; Mrs. Lucy McQuitty, wife of wife of William McQuitty; Irene, wife of J. R. Huie, Odell, Texas; Theresa and Robert, with their parents at Vernon, Texas. William McQuitty is a member of the Agricola Lodge, Ancient Free and accepted Masons and the Modern Woodmen of America at Chilhowee, Missouri. Mr. and Mrs. McQuitty are members of the Baptist church.
