J. W. Kelso, farmer and stock raiser, was born in Vermillion County, Ind., in 1836, and moved to Fulton County, I11., when he was about five years old, where he grew to manhood. When fifteen he became an apprentice at the cooper's trade, and worked at that business, until 1862, at Rock Island, Peoria, and in Fulton County, Ill. He came to Schuyler County, Mo., in 1873, and there engaged in agricultural pursuits, at which occupation he has since been engaged, and is now the owner of a well improved and cultivated farm of 200 acres, which is the result of his frugality, industry and good management, as he has had no material assistance from friends or relatives. In 1857 he was united in marriage to Miss Emsy Pritchard, who was born in Licking County, Ohio, in 1841, and taken by her parents to Fulton County, I11., when quite young. Her union with Mr. Kelso has been blessed with nine children: David V., Frank P., George McClellan, Wesley S., Faety S., Ida May, Athelston, Walter H. and Clarence. In politics Mr. Kelso is a Democrat, but has never sought nor held office. His parents had nine children, of whom he was the youngest. The father, Thomas, was a Scotchman. Archibald Kelso was born in Baltimore, Md., in 1761. His mother was Lucinda (Kendall) Kelso, a German lady, but born in Virginia, and she moved with her parents, Enoch and Sarah Kendall, to Licking County, Ohio, where the parents of the mother lived and died.
