I can't address the Missouri component of the story, only what Ken Lay mentioned to me a number of years ago (and it may have been the 1930s and not the 1940s).

He may have came from Campbell Co. but he came to Mo. He did go to Texas Co. and lived in a small bump in the road called Tyrone. He had a store of some kind there and then after a short time, the family moved to St Louis, Mo. I'm pretty sure this is right because I live in Texas Co. and there was an article in the local paper about Ken Lay's family living here.
