Clark Co. William Jeans, former, post-office Clarksville, is a native of Pike county, born on January 7, 1846. His father, Benjamin F., was born in Clark county, Kentucky, in the year 1811; immigrated to Missouri in 1828, and settled near Paynesville on a farm, where he now resides. He married Amanda McDannold before coming to Missouri. They raised a family of eleven children, nine of whom are still living. The mother died in 1856; the father is still living. Mr. Jeans, our subject, was reared on a farm, receiving a common school education, but afterwards attended the commercial college at St. Louis, and soon after engaged in mercantile business, which he followed for five years, and then turned his attention to farming, which is his present occupation. His farm contains one hundred and eighty-six acres of choice land, most of which is in a high state of cultivation. The soil is a deep limestone loam, and adapted to the growing of wheat, corn and grass. His residence is a large, fine, two-story frame, well finished and furnished, situated on a gravel road. He is engaged in raising a high grade of cattle and hogs. He was married November 15, 1870, to Miss Sophronia Jacoby, daughter of Samuel B. and Anna E. Jacoby. Mr. and Mrs. Jeans are both prominent members of the Christian Church.
