McKee, Samuel Joseph, city engineer of Joplin, was born April 7, 1853, in Anderson County, Kentucky. His parents were Robert C. and Zerelda (McCoy) McKee, natives of the State in which their son was born, and descendants from old Virginia families. The father, who was a lawyer by profession, practiced for twenty-five years at the Frankfort bar, and died in 1880. The son attended the common schools and an academy during the years of his early boyhood. In 1896 he entered the Kentucky Military Institute, near Frankfort, where in addition to the usual academical instruction he took a special course in engineering, covering all branches of that science then taught, and received his diploma in 1873. In 1874 he removed to Missouri, locating at Miami, in Saline County, where he carried on a mercantile business for three years, going thence to Joplin, where he was similarly engaged for a like period. In 1881 he entered upon the professional work for which he so carefully prepared himself. His skill and accuracy received prompt recognition from the highest authority. Almost from the outset he found employment requiring all his time, and in the most important classes of work. Among his employers were all the large mining corporations in the Joplin region, as well as in regions beyond its borders, their commissions covering both civil and mining engineering. The local conditions were such as to bring him to much experience in the latter field, and as a recognized expert his services are in constant demand, and his accomplishments are regarded with implicit confidence. His professional services in the city have been of the highest utility, and while perhaps no more laborious than his work in and about the lead and zinc mines, have attracted more attention and brought him greater reputation on account of the magnitude of the undertakings. He was appointed to his present position as city engineer in 1889, and has served as such for seven years between that time and the present. Under his direction the existing elaborate sewerage system was constructed, involving the expenditure of not less than $100,000. He now has in hand additions which will involve an expenditure by the city of $30,000 more, and necessitate an equal amount for private lateral sewers, to be paid for by individuals. The mechanical work on the sewer system is of the best character, and the engineering is perfect. His earlier work included laying out the various additions to the city, comprehending in the aggregate about one-half of the present area of the entire city. That one official should be privileged to direct such important enterprises during so many years is the highest possible assurance of capability. Politically he is a Democrat. He holds membership in the orders of Modern Woodmen, the Woodmen of the World, the Elks and the Knights of Pythias. Mr. McKee was married April 7, 1886, at Joplin, to Miss Bertha Brader, a native of Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania. Of this marriage have been born three children, Jacque, Brader and Katherine. Mr. McKee is an enthusiast in his profession, and he has the satisfaction of knowing that his services to the city and to the industrial interests which have made it world-famous are abundantly recognized.

BURRIS, custom and merchant miller. Mr. Burris, a partner of Mr. C. H. Jeffress, whose sketch appears on a subsequent page of this volume, is a native of Kentucky, born in Boone county, March 28, 1837, and was a son of Seth C. and Rebecca (Pulley) Burris, both born and reared in the Blue Grass State. In 1845 his parents removed to Indiana, and afterwards, in 1851, to Missouri, and settled in Lafayette county. There J. H. grew to manhood, and lived up to 1868. In youth he had no school advantages, and for his education, which is sufficient for all practical purposes, he is indebted to himself alone. One month at school is all the instruction he ever received. But appreciating the importance of an education, he determined not to grow up in ignorance at least of the ordinary branches, and at home, of evenings and mornings, and at other odd times, he applied himself to study, and thus acquired a more than average proficiency in the common school studies. "You may depend upon it," said Franklin, "that a boy who has the spirit to educate himself will not make a failure of life." And Mr. Burris has proved no exception to this rule. Although he is still hardly a middle-aged man, he is well advanced for a successful career; and just now entered upon the period of life when men achieve their greatest success, he gives every promise of becoming a more than ordinarily successful business man. In Lafayette county he was employed in handling stock for a number of years, and then engaged in the stock business on his own account, which, barring the time he spent in the army, he followed up to the time of his removal to Chariton county. In 1861 he enlisted in Company H, of Cockerell's regiment, General Price's army, and served during a part of the first year of the war. Returning home then to Lafayette county, he remained there until 1863, when he entered the command of General Shelby, and continued a trooper under that dashing cavalry officer until the general surrender. Among other important engagements, he participated in the battles of Lexington, Lone Jack, Blue Springs, West Port and Newtonia. After the war, he remained in Lafayette county for about three years, engaged in handling stock, and then in 1868, removed to Chariton county, where he settled on a farm. Here he followed farming with success for about three years, and, in 1871, began merchandising at Triplett. Two years afterwards he disposed of his interests in the mercantile line, and returned to the stock business. The particulars of the milling business of Messrs. Burris & Jeffress have been given in the sketch of Mr. C. H. Jeffress, already referred to. Suffice it to say, therefore, that they have one of the best mills in the western part of the county, and are doing a large and constantly increasing business. On the 14th of June, 1855, Mr. Burris was married to Miss Elizabeth Spencer, a young lady originally from Kentucky. They have no children. Both are members of the Christian Church.

Sandi 10756 PULASKI CO - CYRENIUS WAITE JAMES - James, Hall, Buckner, Lincoln #10756: History of Champaign County, Illinois with Illustrations, 1878. CYRENIUS WAITE JAMES. 1831-1911, was a small man of 5'7", auburn colored hair, blue eyes, and fair complexion. Little is known about his boyhood, except for the fact that he was born to a family of Baptist preachers and planters dating back to 1650, Culpeper County, Virginia; and he had 22 brothers, sisters, and step-brothers & step-sisters. As he approached the age of 20, he married Amanda Jane HALL on March 18, 1851,near Somerset, Pulaski Co., Kentucky. He and his family moved to Champaign County, Illinois in 1857. On August 1, 1862, Cyrenius enlisted as a Private in "Company B of the79th Regiment of Illinois Infantry," a volunteer corps, at Tuscola, Illinois. The company was commanded by Allen Buckner. Why this southern planter volunteered to fight on the side of the Union, when other brothers in his family were siding with the Confederacy, can only be surmised. Living in Illinois, particularly with Abraham Lincoln as a neighbor, might have proved a strong influence. Since colonial times ,his ancestors always courted political savvy. His cousin Andrew Jackson "A. J." JAMES was an attorney, judge, Secretary of State, and state legislator in Kentucky for many years. No doubt, Cyrenius thought it good reasoning to fight on the side that governed where he lived. At Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on December 31, 1862, Cyrenius was captured. He was a prisoner of war until April 30, 1863, at which time he returned to his company. From September to October 1864, his company was back in action. He had been promoted to Corporal. In the battle of Lovejoy Station, Georgia, he was wounded in the left leg. On June 12, 1865, he was mustered out with his company at Nashville, Tennessee as a Corporal. While he was a prisoner of war, a family story goes that he was at Marietta, Georgia. He said that he had seen the ghost of his 2 -year old daughter one night in a dream. Ironically, at the same time, his two year old daughter died from choking on a grain of corn. The military record does not prove the location of his incarceration. But the story has been passed through the generations. He had also contracted a chronic case of diarrhea, which later developed into a severe case of bleeding hemorrhoids which left him totally disabled to do any work. After his honorable discharge from the army, Cyrenius returned to his Illinois home. He received a disability of $4.00 per month. But, up to the day he died, he had to fight the government he volunteered to defend to raise his pension to $20.00, having appealed the issue repeatedly for 46 years. By 1869, most of Cyrenius' children had moved to Texas. Cyrenius, found himself too disabled to farm, and with little family support. He then moved his remaining family to Texas. They first settled in Johnson County on Mountain Creek. Then in 1872, they moved to Rhome, Wise County, about six miles northeast of Rhome. Amanda Jane HALL, his wife, died there on September 19, 1892 at the age of 60 years. A few years after she died, Cyrenius married again to Mary J. [sentence not completed]. at Thrumond Fairview Cemetery, an area formerly known as the "Illinois Settlement." The site now is an historical site and a marker recognizes the settlers who came to that area of Texas from Illinois. Of all Cyrenius' children, only Mary Martha James remained in Illinois, buried at the age of three in Old Taylor Cemetery, in Tuscola. Cyrenius Waite James died July 8, 1911.

For those of you on my KYRESEARCH or KY query lists, you can delete this, it will be a duplicate. But for those of you just on KYBIOGRAPHIES .... this is my gift to you. Sandi TIP #619 - A CHRISTMAS EVE MYSTERY As has been my custom over the years, about this time of year, I take a break from the heavy data, lean back in my computer chair, let one of my cats snuggle up on my lap, take a sip of steaming coffee and take you back to an era in Kentucky none of us had the privilege of seeing. You're allowed to get your coffee now, put on some Christmas music and travel along with me. It was Christmas Eve 2006 in a rather typical home in Kentucky. The mother is totally wiped out as it's her year to host the family for Christmas dinner. She had made several trips to the grocery store picking up ingredients she'd forgotten and wishing she had decided to take everyone out to the restaurant instead. Her nerves were frayed, the legs aching and her patience at the snapping point. Curled up in front of the plasma television was Dad, watching yet another football game, surely the 5th today. He was totally oblivious to the trauma being played out in the kitchen until the peace was shattered by the slamming of the front door, letting in a blast of cold December air. In burst their two "beloved" children who were not exactly the model of what they expected to come with parenthood, at least not at this instant! Sarah, age 14, was screaming at her brother John, age 17. Dad turns the television volume up louder to hear over their sibling spatting and Mom in the kitchen slams the door shut into the kitchen to keep her sanity. Finally, not being able to stand it one minute more, she storms into the living room, turns off the television (getting Dad's attention immediately) and tells Sarah and John to "freeze!" In total shock, everyone sits down staring at Mom. "Gee Mom, what gives?" Mom demands an explanation of their behavior and soon learns that they had just returned from the mall and all of the stores were out of John's IPOD - or whatever it was he wanted; and Sarah was out of money and her dearest darling brother wouldn't loan her any money. Their "want list" was atrocious this year as peer pressure had set in to get the latest electronic fad, buy the most expensive shoes, Sarah even wanted her lip pierced! Where had old-fashioned values and simple toys given way to two snarling young people who were nothing like those precious and excited little children on Christmas eve of years ago? Finally, Dad took over and after a lecture on the value of money and giving was better than receiving (of course watching the clock wondering if he'd missed a touchdown!) he told the children to settle down and behave. Sarah and John just turned their backs and stormed back out the front door. But wait. What was this? Where was the family car? Where were all the Christmas lights? Where were all the houses? They were standing totally dumbfounded in a clearing in a forest. It was cold, very cold. There were no beckoning lights and sounds of carols playing from the nearby church tower. They turned around rapidly, ready to run back inside their warm and comfortable house, but - there was no house. In its place stood a rundown and patched up cabin. No Christmas tree shone through the living room window, in fact there was only one widow they could see and it didn't even have glass in it. A buggy stood in the shadows by one side of the cabin and two shivering horses pranced nervously waiting to start a trip - to someplace. Smoke curled from the chimney, snow was starting to fall lightly. Where were they? What had happened? Shivering themselves, Sarah and John decided to seek shelter in this cabin where they could at least warm up a bit and figure out what had happened to them. They knocked on the door and after what seemed an eternity, a woman peered through a small peep hole in the wall before unbolting the door. She swung the heavy door open and stood before them. Her hair was straggling around her face, her eyes spoke of great fatigue. She seemed quite surprised to see them but invited them inside out of the ever heavy snow. Sarah and John cautiously entered and what they saw caused their mouths to drop wide open. Instead of their lovely home with television, carpeting, a roaring fireplace with poinsettias gracing the mantle; they were in the middle of the only room in the entire cabin. The floor was dirt! In one corner 2 makeshift cots were stretched out. In the loft above they could see, in the ever-increasing darkness, the smiling faces of 5 little children, all peering down at them in amusement and curiosity. All the children were cleanly attired but their clothes showed that they had been hand-made and handed down several times. In the back was a large fireplace with a huge kettle hanging from a hook and a large ladle lying nearby indicating that the lady had been stirring some homemade stew from the aroma of it. A man was sitting at the wooden table, the only furniture in the house. He was bent over a book, writing something as if in a journal. He looked up and welcomed them, thinking of course that they young people had taken a wrong path through the woods and had become lost. The father introduced himself as Samuel Jenkins and then turned to introduce his wife Elizabeth. The five smiling children soon had names of Jonathan, Peter, Susan, Penelope and baby Abraham. The older children came shyly down the stairs carrying Abraham, only two. They all gathered around Sarah and John having never seen clothes like this. Why Sarah was wearing janes! They had never seen a lady wear men's janes before! And John had on a tee-shirt which was unlike anything they had ever seen in their short lives! After a reminder from the father that it was impolite to stare, he invited Sarah and John to sit on the floor by the fire to warm their chilled bones. Then they tried to sort everything out. Sarah and John asked where they were and when they were told, they knew that some very, very strange had happened. Samuel explained that they were in Smithville KY. Well, that's unusual; that's where Sarah and John were from. When they asked what year it was, Samuel smiled and said, "why, it's 1865 of course!" No!!!! It's 2006 they cried out in unison. Now it was time for Samuel to be taken aback. Somehow these two youngsters had walked back in time, but why? How? Samuel invited them to dinner; it wasn't much for the seven of them to share with the two unusual people sharing their home, but they made do. Samuel said that they needed to hurry though since they had deliveries to make yet and the horses were growing restless. So, they hurriedly ate their small bowl of stew with a piece of homemade bread and a glass of goat's milk and prepared to leave for this mysterious trip. Elizabeth found some warmer clothes that almost fit so John and Sarah wouldn't catch their death of a cold and somehow they all fit into the wagon. Baby Abraham was bundled under a handmade quilt with only his rosy cheeks showing. In the darkness could be seen the outline of something stacked up, packed and covered. With a gitty-up Nellie, the wagon lurched forward off into the woods. Somehow Samuel knew the way without so much as a light and the horses nimbly picked their way over rocks and fallen branches, sometimes jolting the wagon so much that John and Sarah knew they were all going to fall off. With blankets thrown over their legs and around their shoulders, they still were frozen and wondering where they were going ….. and why? For the next two hours the routine was the same; a gitty-up, a lurch, a long ride in the darkness with snow falling ever more densely around them and a stop. Then a stop in front of another little old cabin with one window, with smoke curling from the chimney and a heavy door opening. But with each stop, everyone would alight from the wagon, reach into the back and pull out a slab of bacon, some beef jerky, a quilt, a bottle of goat's milk, an outgrown pair of shoes; John and Sarah didn't know what would appear from that stack. They were greeted at each cabin, all so far apart, by thankful smiles and God bless you. Finally, the stack was gone and all fell quiet as the wagon full of seven family members and two guests started back on the long trek back to the cabin. Finally, John found his nerve and asked Samuel, "Sir, what does this mean, why are you doing this?" Samuel paused a few minutes as if trying to put it in words and finally spoke up. He told of families that had been experiencing a rough year. Many of the young men in the family hadn't returned from the Civil War, leaving young families far from their families and young mothers trying to eke out a living somehow to feed their children. Some of the families were elderly and too weak to work as hard as they used to. It had been a rough year and food was short. Samuel had worked hard all year and laid aside all he could possibly save back to help out his neighbors. He knew by the flight of the birds, the time the leaves fell and how the animals were acting that this was going to be a bad winter. This was their family's way of just being neighborly. When Sarah asked what his own children were going to get, was there going to be any gifts for them or something special to bring them joy through the rough months ahead, Samuel and Elizabeth just smiled and reached into a bag at mother's feet. She drew out an apple for each child except the baby that she was bought at the mercantile; trading in some of her woven shawls in exchange. Then she found a little doll for the girls made of corn husks. The boys had a whittling knife that Dad had earned for helping at a barn raising for a neighbor, a gift of thanks from the farmer who had seen his barn burn to the ground in a thunderstorm. Sarah quietly asked what they were getting, the parents? "Why my goodness child, we have each other!" I have a strong man who works hard to provide for our family." And Samuel looked at Elizabeth lovingly and said, "now Liz, that's mighty kind of you, I have all the gifts I need in you, you take care of me and the children, you cook good fixins and you make me feel like a hero." :You're all I need." Soon, the wagon and all its occupants bumped its way to the family cabin. One by one the children climbed out and the baby handed down, now sound asleep. Samuel unhooked the horses and took them back to the barn to rub them down and give them some grain. Elizabeth and the children had gone into the cabin while Sarah and John were watching Samuel. They turned to open the heavy door and walked inside. "Where have you been" asked Dad. "Have you cooled off enough now that we can have a decent Christmas Eve?" Sarah and John's mouth flew open for the second time this night as they realized they were listening to a football game and Mom as coming through the door, not looking as tired as she had before. "It's almost time to eat if you'll act civil, she said. But no. Sarah and John had something to do. They against rushed out the door and made their way to the mall. Hurriedly they dashed from store to store - returning every gadget, every piece of mod attire … until they met at the front door of the mall and took off for the next stop. They rushed to the grocery store, getting there just minutes before the weary owner was about to put the "Closed" sign on the door. Taking a cart apiece, they dashed from aisle to aisle buying everything they could with the money they had. Marshmallows, hot chocolate, one small turkey, stuffing mix, a rattle and some baby formula, a box of diapers, some candy canes and … exactly five apples. They then jumped in the car and went to an area in town known as the "poor district, you know, the "other side of the tracks." Looking at the run-down houses, they took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After what seemed an eternity, a woman peered through a small window before unbolting the door. She swung the door open and stood before them. Her hair was straggling around her face, her eyes spoke of great fatigue. She seemed quite surprised to see them but invited them inside out of the ever heavier snow. Sarah and John cautiously entered and what they saw caused their mouths to drop wide open. They were in the middle of the only room in the entire house. The floor was old linoleum. In one corner 2 makeshift cots were stretched out. From the corner of the room they could see, in the ever-increasing darkness, the smiling faces of 5 little children, all peering at them in amusement and curiosity. All the children were cleanly attired but their clothes showed that they had been hand-made and handed down several times. In the back was a large old stove but there was nothing cooking. A man was sitting at the wooden table, the only furniture in the house. He was bent over a book, writing something as if in a journal. He looked up and welcomed them, thinking of course that they young people had taken a wrong path through the town and had become lost. Sarah and John handed them the sacks of groceries and headed for the door saying "be sure you give the apples to the children!" Merry Christmas one and all.

J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago-Louisville, 1928. (Photo). Fayette Co. Dr. Joseph Addison Stucky, a scion of one of the old and prominent families of Kentucky, enjoys an enviable reputation as a specialist in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat and bears a name that has long been an honored one in medical circles of Lexington. Close study has constituted the basis of his advancement, and combined with a keen appreciation of the scientific phases of his profession is a deep and abiding sympathy that prompts him to put forth earnest and unfaltering effort where the welfare of his fellowmen is involved. The Stucky family originated in Switzerland and was founded in America in early colonial times. The great-grandfather, John Stucky, was born in Pennsylvania and migrated to Kentucky in the latter part of the eighteenth century, casting in his lot with the pioneer settlers of Jefferson county. His son, Frederick, the Doctor's grandfather was there born in 1801 and reached the advanced age of ninety-two years. He married Louisa Hite Meyers, who was also born in Jefferson county and was the daughter of a neighboring farmer. Their son, Harry Stucky, was born at Jeffersontown, September 19, 1827, and there resided until 1846, when he moved to Louisville. He was called to public office, acting as clerk of the chancery court for a considerable period, and was also treasurer of the Sinking Fund. He married Sallie Kemp Sweeney, the daughter of a Campbellite minister. She was born December 6, 1835, in Jefferson county, Kentucky, and became the mother of three children: Joseph Addison, of this review; Thomas H., a prominent physician of Louisville; and Virginia, the wife of Dr. B. C. Frazier, also of that city. Dr. Joseph A. Stucky was born September 6, 1857, in Louisville, and attended the public schools of that city. He prepared for his profession in the University of Louisville and was graduated with the class of 1878. He at once located in Lexington and for forty-eight years has continuously followed his profession in this city. For nine years he was a general practitioner of medicine but since 1887 has limited his work to diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, in the treatment of which he has acquired marked skill. He has an exhaustive knowledge of these branches of medical science and ranks with the foremost specialists of the country, enjoying an extensive practice. In 1881, in the city of Lexington, Dr. Stucky was married to Miss Nellie McGarvey, a daughter of the Rev. Dr. John W. McGarvey and Ottie (Carr) McGarvey, the former a pioneer minister of the Church of Disciples and at one time head of the department of theology of Transylvania University. To Dr. and Mrs. Stucky were born six children, one of whom died in infancy. The others are: John McGarvey, William Sweeney, Lillie Estelle, the wife of Harold Williamson; Nellie McGarvey, now Mrs. Arthur Chapman; and Harry Clarke, who married Mary Ellen Evans. Dr. William Sweeney Stucky won the A. B. degree from Bethany College of West Virginia in 1904 and was graduated from the medical department of the University of Michigan in 1908. He was afterward connected with the New York Post-Graduate Hospital in the Manhattan Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat Hospital and since 1913 has been associated with his father in practice. In 191 he married Miss Ann Clay McDowell, of Lexington, and they have become the parents of a son, William McDowell. Dr. Stucky is affiliated with the Church of the Disciples. In politics he is a democrat of independent views, and he is a strong advocate of prohibition. He belongs to the Kiwanis and Lexington Clubs, and along fraternal lines he is connected with Lexington Lodge, No. 1., of the Masonic order; Merrick Lodge, No. 31, of the Pythias. During the World war he was connected with the United States Medical Reserve Corps in the capacity of consultant. Many of his articles have appeared in the leading medical journals of the country, and for years he has been a lecturer on public health and social welfare subjects, also a Y. M. C. A. worker and lecturer. He has been honored with a fellowship by the American College of Surgeons and in 1912 was a delegate to the International Congress of Surgeons in London, England. He has been called to the presidency of the Lexington City, Fayette County and Southern and American Medical Associations, acting as chairman of the Oto-Laryngology section of the last named. He is an ex-president of the American Academy of Ophthamology and Oto-Laryngology and also of the American Laryngoligical, Rhinological and Otological Society. Dr. Study's professional standing is clearly indicated by the high offices which he has filled and his record is a matter of pride to Lexington's citizens, who speak of him in terms of respect and admiration.

He was an active and influential Democrat, and his house was ofttimes made the rendezvous for great political gatherings. He was a son of Benjamin Cook, who was the father of a large family of children. The mother of our subject was Sallie Otey, a daughter of Maj. Isaac Otey, and a sister of Bishop James H. Otey, of Tennessee. The parents of Dr. Cook were blessed with nine children, six of whom are living: Mary, Frances A., Mildred E., Sarah E., Edwin R. and James O. Our subject moved to Christian County for good in 1850, having previously paid a visit to this section of the country. He resided in Hopkinsville a short time, during which period he built his present residence, situated on the Russellville road a few miles east of Hopkinsville; he has since resided here with the exception of four years of the war, during which time he lived in town again and practiced medicine; of which latter he had commenced the study very early, and had subsequently graduated from the Pennsylvania Medical University, Philadelphia, in 1847, but in late years he has devoted his attention more to his farming interests. He owns a beautiful place of about 500 acres, besides other tracts of land elsewhere. He married Miss Martha U. Campbell, a daughter of John P. and Mary A. (Buckner) Campbell. John P. Campbell was a very large land-owner, represented Christian County in the State Legislature, and was for many years President of the Hopkinsville Bank.

FULLER - Fuller, Duzan, Robinson, Galbreth, Brooks #10751: Past and Present of Marshall County, Iowa by Judge William Battin. 2 vols. Indianapolis, Ind.: B. F. Bowen, 1912. Steven H. Fuller. It is natural, and therefore proper, that the careers of those sterling characters of the early days should crowd to the front when we glean the annals of the past for facts worthy to adorn the pages of history, consequently the biographer does not hesitate to properly set forth the items of interest in the lives of such a family as the Fullers, of whom Steven H. Fuller, farmer of LeGrand township, Marshall county, is a well known and honored representative, for they have done much in forwarding the general interests of the community and have borne such reputations as to elicit the high respect of all who know them. Mr. Fuller hails from the "dark and bloody ground" country, his birth having occurred in the state of Kentucky, October 4, 1827. He is the son of Solomon and Lucinda (Duzan) (name very hard to read) Fuller, the father a native of New York and the mother of Kentucky. Solomon Fuller came to Kentucky when a boy and married there, he and his wife continuing to live in that state until 1855, when they moved to Marshall County, Iowa, reaching here on October 20th. They settled in Jefferson township and rented land a while, then bought eighty acres in that township and there they spent the rest of their lives, the father dying on May 1, 1894, at the age of eighty-seven years, the mother having preceded him to the grave in 1866, when fifty four years old. They were the parents of nine children, six of whom are living. Solomon Fuller was a Democrat in politics and a member of the Christian church. He was a good man and well liked by his neighbors. The son, Steven H., grew to maturity on the home farm and was educated in the common schools. Before leaving Kentucky he was united in marriage with Lettie Robinson, who was born in that state on April 23, 1826, their wedding occurring on April 14, 1847. She was the daughter of William and Sarah Robinson, both born in Virginia, from which state they came to Kentucky in an early day, in which state they both died. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Fuller, namely: William, lives in Canada; Mollie, who was the wife of John William Galbreth, is deceased, one child was born to them, Mollie, who died leaving two children, Murl and Mary Lucinda. Henry Fuller lives in Marshalltown, Iowa. n October 20, 1855, Steven H. Fuller and wife came to Timber Creek township, Marshall county, at the time his parents moved here. The subject later moved to Jefferson township, where he lived nine years, then moved to LeGrand township and bought two hundred and forty acres and for a number of years farmed on a large scale. Old age coming on, he did not care to be burdened with the operation of so large a farm and he now has one hundred and sixty acres which is very productive and well improved, but he is at this writing living retired in the city of Marshalltown, where he has a cozy home and is surrounded by every comfort of life as a result of his former years of earnest toil. He formerly lived retired in the village of LeGrand for sixteen years. Politically Mr. Fuller was a Democrat, but is now a Prohibitionist. He has held the office of road supervisor and school director. He and his wife have been members of the Christian church since childhood. They were married and formerly baptized by John T. Brooks. They have lived consistent Christian lives. SCKY Links: http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/Gorin.html GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/

WOOD - Wood, Tisdell, Tisdale, Norvell, McAmers, McAmers, Woolridge, Worrell, Baker, Brumitt #10747: History of Saline Co MO, ca early 1900's. Barren Co. LOUIS K. WOOD. Many of the most progressive citizens of Saline county are natives of the old Blue Grass state or their ancestors were Kentuckians, and, useless to add here, that no better, more energetic or loyal people are to be found that they and it is to the credit of this locality that such a large number of this splendid type of the old South have cast their lot here. Of this praiseworthy class the name of Louis K. Wood, a well known farmer of Cambridge township, should not be omitted from the history of this county. He was born in Barren county, Kentucky, December 7, 1852, the son of Joseph and Eliza (Tisdell) [sic likely Tisdale] Wood, the former a native of Virginia. They came to Saline county, Missouri, about 1856 and located at Arrow Rock. About 1868 they bought one hundred and sixty acres three miles east of Gilliam in Cambridge township and there they made their home until 1866, when they moved to the northwest part of Cambridge township, where they bought one hundred and sixty acres on the river and there they spent the remainder of their lives. Mr. Wood died in 1879, at the age of sixty-five, his widow surviving until 1889, dying at the age of sixty-three. They were successful farmers and highly respected peopling owing to their honorable lives. To them fourteen children were born, two of whom died in infancy; the others grew up and were married; they are: Moss, wife of Wright Norvell, resides in Slater, Missouri; John W., lived in Cambridge township; Samuel D., also lives in Cambridge township, as does also Mrs. Joe Walker McAmers, now deceased; Louis K., of this review; Mrs. Margaret Norvell, of Slater; Clifford lives in Cambridge township; Watson lives at Ayers, Cambridge township; Mrs. Nannie Woodridge lives in Sheridan county, Missouri; Henry lives in Bozeman, Montana, and Robert, of Cambridge township. Louis K. Wood, of this review, made his home with his mother until her death, after which he rented the home farm for a year or two, then he bought the interests of the other heirs and he still occupies the old homestead, to which he has added one hundred and seventy-eight acres, having been very successful through his close application to his individual affairs and his good management, now owing in all a splendid and valuable farm of three hundred and forty-eight acres. He carries on general farming and cattle raising in a manner that stamps him well abreast of the times in both. He has an attractively located and cozy home and substantial outbuildings. Politically he is a Democrat, but is too busy with his business affairs to do much work in the party or to run for office himself. Mr. Wood was married on December 6, 1883, to Susie Frances Worrell, who was born in Madison county, Kentucky, October 3, 1861, daughter of Jefferson and Jane (Baker) Worrell, natives of Kentucky. About 1863 they came to Pike county, Missouri, later moved to Vernon county, and finally, in 1874, to Saline county, locating near Cambridge. In 1878 they moved north of Ayers, in the same township, where they bought about seventy actress on which Mrs. Worrell still makes her home, Mr. Worrell having die din May, 1904, at the age of seventy-four years. They were the parents of eight children, five of whom are still living; Mrs. Wood was the second child in order of birth. To Mr. and Mrs. Louis K. Wood eight children have been born, seven of whom are living at this writing, namely: Beulah is the wife of Ernest Brumitt; they live on Mr. Wood's farm; she was born February 4, 1885, and she has two daughters, Jewel and Velma V.

H. Spencer. Volume II, Printed 1886, Reprinted 1984 in the USA by Church History Research and Archives, P O Box 28, Dayton, OH. Jessamine County (Elkhorn Association). GEORGE STOKES SMITH, a younger half brother of George Smith, one of the early emancipation preachers in Kentucky, was a native of Powhatan county, Virginia. He was raised up to the ministry, in Powhatan church, during those times of persecution that tried men's souls. After preaching some years, in Virginia, he came to what is now Garrard county, Kentucky, at a very early period. When John Taylor arrived in that county, in 1783, he found Mr. Smith a preacher in Gilbert's Creek church, Lewis Craig having moved to the north side of Kentucky river, and raised up South Elkhorn Church. When William Hickman moved to Kentucky, in 1794, Mr. Smith received him, with his wife and nine children, into his cabin, and entertained him till he could build a cabin to move into. Of this circumstance Mr. Hickman writes to the following purport: "I had written G. S. Smith to meet us, but he failed to get the letter as soon as I expected. The night before we got in, we concluded to stop and rest. There were 500 in our company. My friend Smith rode up, inquiring for Hickman's camp. He came loaded with bread and meat. The next morning we started, and got to his cabin about an hour by sun, November 8, 1784. Wet and dirty, poor spectacles we were, but thank God, all in common health. The Lord was with us through the whole journey (which occupied eighty-five days). The next day, being Sunday, there was a meeting at Brother Smith's; and, unprepared as I was, I had to try to preach, though there were three other preachers present. I spoke from these words, found in the fourth Psalm: 'The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself.' I was followed by Mr. Swope, a Methodist preacher. Old Brother William Marshall was there. There was a church at Gilbert's Creek, but I had no inclination to join so soon after I moved there. We lived at Brother Smith's family. Brother John Taylor came from the north side of the river, and preached at Brother Robertson's. His text was - 'Christ is all in all.' I fed on the food; it was like the good old Virginia doctrine. Wm. Bledsoe was there. We built a cabin near Brother Smith's where our families lived very agreeably together." Mr. Smith labored in the region around South Elkhorn, with Hickman, Taylor, Craig and others, till Mt. Pleasant church, in Jessamine county was raised up, in 1801. Of this church he was chosen pastor, and continued to fill that position with eminent success till the master took him home, about the year 1810. Mr. Smith was raised up in the Episcopal Church, by wealthy parents, and was a citizen of considerable prominence, among the early settlers of Kentucky. He was a member, from Fayette county, of the convention that formed the first constitution of the state, in 1792. John Taylor, one of his co-laborers in the ministry, speaks of him as follows: "Georges S. Smith was a man of great respectability as a citizen, and was much of a doctrinal preacher. Simplicity and plainness attended his whole course. His preaching operated but sparingly on the passions of his hearers; for though his voice was strong and sonorous, it lacked softness and melody. As a Gibbeonite in the house of God, he was better calculated to hew wood than to draw water." SCKY Links: http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/Gorin.html GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/

Edited by William Henry Perrin, Illustrated. F. A. Battey Publishing Co., Chicago and Louisville, 1884. Hopkinsville City and Precinct. JAMES A. YOUNG, M.D., is a native of Bethany, Va., where he was born on the 16th day of May, 1846. His father, Rev. James A. Young, was by birth a Kentuckian, and died in Clarksville, Tenn., in early manhood. He was a Christian minister, whose labors were chiefly confined to the State of Tennessee. He was married to Miss Ellen D. Kerr, the present wife of Dr. D. J. Gish, of Hopkinsville, which union resulted in the birth of one son, James A. Young, and subject of this sketch. The marriage of his mother with Dr. Gish naturally placed him under the care of the latter, by whom he was reared and educated, and with whom he is now engaged in an extensive medical practice. His preparatory education was acquired in the Bethany College of Virginia, and the University of Kentucky, at Lexington. In 1867 he entered the Hahnemanian Medical College, of Philadelphia, graduating the following year. Some years after he took a special course in the Ohio medical College of Cincinnati, and in the Pulte College of the same city. He entered upon the practice of his profession in 1868, at Hopkinsville, Ky., but the following year removed to Paducah, Ky., where he remained for five years. Returning to Hopkinsville in 1874, he formed a partnership with Dr. D. J. Gish, with whom he is still associated. He is a member of the American Institute of Homoeopathy; honorary member of the Indiana Institute; corresponding member of the St. Louis Homoeopathic Society; Fellow of the Hahnemanian Institute of Philadelphia, and was Adjunct Professor of Theory and Practice in the St. Louis College for one session. He is a member of the Masonic order, and of the K. of P. He was married in Hopkinsville in 1870, to Miss Kate Long, daughter of Gabe B. Long and Martha Long (nee Thompson). Their family is comprised of Mattie, Ellen G., James A., and Daniel J. Young. As a physician, Dr. Young stands in the front rank, and being young in years and possessed of a rare degree of energy of both body and mind, bids fair to become prominent in his profession. The Doctor and wife are members of the Christian Church. SCKY Links: http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/Gorin.html GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/
