From that State the parents removed to St. Charles County, Mo., and in 1844 came to Franklin County. They next removed to Johnson County, Mo., and returned to Franklin County in 1864, where the following year the father died. The mother now resides on a farm in Lyon Township, Franklin County. Our subject was born in Johnson County, Mo., June 19, 1861, and was reared on the farm. He succeeded in obtaining a fair education in the public schools of Franklin County, and in 1881 taught school in that county. He continued that occupation during 1882 and 1883, and two years later removed to Union, and the same year entered the county assessor's office, where he continued as deputy until the summer of 1886, when he served as deputy in the circuit clerk's office for several months. Upon the election of Sheriff Ehlers, he was appointed chief deputy, a position he holds at the present, making a faithful and efficient officer.
