Hanson A Lucas
Among the young men who are cultivating a portion of the soil of Jasper county with gratifying success should be mentioned Hanson A. Lucas, a prominent agriculturist of Jackson township. He was born in Ford county, Illinois, on the 31st of August, 1862. His father, Alexander H. Lucas, was a native of Pickaway county, Ohio, where he was also reared. He subsequently removed to Indiana, thence to Ford county, Illinois, and afterward came to Jasper county, Missouri, where he died at the age of sixty-two years, honored and respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was of English descent. In political matters he cast his ballot in favor of the principles of the Republican party. The mother of our subject, who bore the maiden name of Catherine Sheridan, was a native of Ireland, but was brought to America when a babe and was reared in Illinois. With her little son Jesse she was accidentally drowned in Center creek, Jasper county, being called to her final res, at the age of forty-five years.
Hanson A Lucas, the eldest of his parents' five children, was brought to Jasper county, Missouri, when seven years of age, and in this county he was reared and received his education. He remained under the parental roof until his marriage, when he located on a rented farm, but a short time afterward removed to Green county, Wisconsin, where he was engaged in the dairy business for about four years. On the expiration of that period he returned to Jasper county and located upon the farm where he now resides. In connection with his agricultural pursuits Mr. Lucas is also extensively engaged in the dairy business, and in both branches of his business he is meeting with a high and gratifying degree of success. His place contains one hundred and seventeen acres, all of which is under a fine state of cultivation, and everything about his farm indicates the supervision of a thrifty and progressive owner.
The year 1887 witnessed the marriage of Mr. Lucas and Miss Emma Milliken, who was born and reared in Wisconsin. Three children graced their marriage,--Glenn, Helene and Bessie. The Republican party receives Mr. Lucas' hearty support and co-operation, and in his social relations he is a member of the Knights and Ladies of Security. In religious faith he is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and to the support of this church is a liberal and regular contributor. Being courteous and agreeable to all with whom he comes in contact, he readily makes and retains friends, who esteem him highly for his many worthy qualities.
