Ernie C. Brown. The pretty farm residence of Ernest C. Brown, located in Walker township on a beautiful stretch of well kept State highway, is in the midst of one of the most fertile sections of Missouri. Mr. Brown is owner of 300 acres of land, but is farming a total of 400 acres in the vicinity of his home farm of 240 acres. Mr. Brown was born August 17, 1874, in Deepwater township, and is a son of M. V. (born March 4, 1837) and Helen M. Cecil (born August 7 1847) Brown. His mother was born in Leesville township, a daughter of Judge Wilson M. Cecil, a pioneer of Henry County who came to this county from Kentucky and was one of the first county judges of the county. M. V. Brown is a native of Sangamon County, Illinois, and is the son of R. D. Brown, a native of Pennsylvania. M. V. Brown came to Henry County in 1872. His father came to Missouri at a later date and died at Appleton City. Mr. Brown, Sr., is still residing at his home place in Deepwater township. The old Brown homestead is a splendid Colonial style house, built of hardwood lumber as early as 1857 and was used as a hospital and a fort during the Civil War when the residents of Bates County were ordered from the county as a result of General Ewing's Order No. 11. For further particulars regarding M. V. Brown the reader is referred to his biography given elsewhere in this volume. Ernie C. Brown was educated in the district schools and the Appleton City Academy. He has always followed the vocation of farmer. In the spring of 1896 he settled on the farm nearby where his brother Charles now lives and cultivated this large tract until 1904, when he went to Benton County, Missouri, and remained in that county for two years, returning to Henry County in 1906. He then settled on the Hackler place, which he has improved considerably. Mr. Brown was married on November 28, 1900, to Miss Mable C. Hackler, who was born in Benton County, Missouri, a daughter of J. R. and Nannie E. Hackler, the latter of whom died when Mrs. Brown was a child. J. R. Hackler was a native of Virginia who ran away from home at the age of fourteen years and enlisted in the Confederate Army. During one of the battles in which his regiment took an active part he was shot through the leg and ever afterward was a cripple. For a year after leaving the service he was forced to live on corn bread and milk. In 1866 he went to the mining region and remained for four years, during which time he accumulated a competence which he invested in land in Benton County. He also bought land in Henry County upon which he resided until 1898 and then returned to Benton County, where his death occurred on October 23, 1896. He was father of two children: Mrs. Mabel C. Brown and James E. Hackler, who is owner of the home place in Benton County. Mr. Brown is an independent Democrat who votes the National Democratic ticket as a rule but is inclined to independence of thought and action in local, county and township affairs. He has filled the office of treasurer of Walker township and is one of the best known of the younger generation of farmers in Henry County. - Additional Information from Karen P. Myers, granddaughter of James Edgar Hackler - John Randolph Hackler, the father of Mabel (Hackler) Brown was born 16 May 1846 Grayson Co, VA and died 23 October 1903 in Windsor, MO, not in 1896 as stated above. Nancy E. "Nannie" (Bailey) Hackler, b. 24 Sept. 1856 Benton Co, MO and d. 5 Apr 1891 Polk Co, MO, daughter of E. K. & Permelia Ann (Barlow) Bailey, the wife of J. R. Hackler and the mother of Mabel C. (Hackler) Brown who married Ernie C. Brown. Mabel and Ernie had no children and are both buried at Stones Chapel Cemetery in Henry County, MO.
