"Henry Hillebrand is a native of Missouri, one of the state's sterling school men, and has been engaged in the work of teaching and administering public schools in different parts of the state for about thirty years.

He was born in one of the richest counties of Central Missouri, at the old town of Shackelford in Saline County, March 9, 1876. His father, Henry Hillebrand, was born at Harth, Germany, in 1844, lived there during his boyhood and early youth, and about 1869 came to the United States. He located at Lanesville in Saline County, and for a long period of years was numbered among the progressive farmers of that locality, and about 1906 moved to Clinton in Henry County, Missouri, where he continued farming until his death on December 13, 1924.

He was a Democrat in his political affiliations, and lived the life of a devout Christian. He married Theresa Meschede, who was born in Germany in 1850, and was brought to the United States by her parents in 1859. She grew up among relatives in Saline County, and her father, Richard Meschede, afterwards settle in that county, having spent his first years in this country at Saint Louis. He was a farmer near Lanesville and lived out his life there. He married a Miss Pittman, a native of Germany, who died in Saline County when eighty-six years of age. The children of Henry Hillebrand and wife were: John, a farmer at Urich, Missouri; Richard J., who owns and operates the old Hillebrand homestead at Shackleford; Henry Hillebrand; Joe, a farmer at Marshall, Missouri; Ed, a farmer at Clinton; Fred, a resident of Urich and since 1911 a rural mail carrier; Vince E., a farmer at Creighton, Missouri; and Francis, a farmer, who died at Clinton in 1918 of the influenza, when twenty-five years of age.

Mr. Henry Hillebrand, a Missouri farm boy, had the advantages of the rural schools of Saline County, and in 1897 entered the Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg. In the intervals of his teaching he continued his work there during summer sessions until 1925, when he was graduated with the Bachelor of Science degree in education. He taught his first term of rural school in 1898, and has had five years of rural school experience. During that time he taught in Calhoun, Henry and Saline counties. For three years he was principal of the high school at Calhoun, for one year was superintendent of schools at Urich, and four yearts superintendent at Deepwater. After he had been superintendent of schools at Humansville for three years he left school work in 1918, during the World war, and took up farming in Henry County. However, the call of educational work was too strong to resist and in 1921 he became superintendent of schools at Shawnee Mound. He was superintendent at Creighton from 1923 to 1926, and after another year on his farm at Creighton came to Farber in Audrain County, in the fall of 1927, and became superintendent in that progressive little town of Northeastern Missouri. Mr. Hillebrand has always kept in touch with educational interests and is a member of the Missouri State and Kansas State Teachers Associations.

He is a Democrat in politics, a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and is affliliated with the Masonic Lodge at Humansville and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Urich.

He married at Calhoun, Missouri, December 31, 1901, Miss Edna Hudson, daughter of Rev. Martin D. and Sarah E. (Crow) Hudson. Her mother resides at Deepwater, Missouri. Her father was a minister of the Presbyterian Church and in his earlier years did a great deal of work as a circuit rider in South Missouri counties. Mr. and Mrs. Hillebrand have four children: Martin, a graduate of the Deepwater High School, has been looking after the home farm at Creighton; Henry B., who graduated from the high school at Deepwater in 1926, is also a farmer; Herbert and Homer, the two younger sons, are still in school."
