The father was born in Kentucky in 1830, but from there went to Shelby County, Missouri, where he was reared and married. He then engaged in farming in that county until his death which occurred in May 1863.
Our subject remained in Shelby County until the spring of 1882, and received his professional education in St. Louis, attending lectures at the Missouri Medical College during 1881-82, and graduating from that institution in March 1882. The following May he moved to Novelty, Knox County, Missouri, where he has since resided, enjoying a large and lucrative practice, and standing among the leading physicians of the county.
March 4, 1885, he was united to Emma McCoy, daughter of O. B. and Martha McCoy.
To this union two daughters, Fledah and Zeta L. have been born. Our subject is an active Democrat, and is greatly interested in his party, and the general welfare of the country, but had never aspired to political honors.
He is an honorable and worthy member of the Christian Church, and takes great interest in educational matters, also contributing largely to all laudable public enterprises. He is of high standing in the community in which he resides, and is regarded as one of its eminent and successful citizens.
