Mr. Ouderkirk came to St. Clair county with his parents at the age of 19 years, settling on a farm six miles east of Appleton City, where he lived until 1914, when he retired and located in Appleton City until the death of his wife. Since that period he has lived alternately with his children and alone. Not long before his death he purchased property on West Spring street in El Dorado Springs, Mo., where he has lived until his death which occurred some time in the night of May 27th, 1921.
