It is a \nlar^e and commodius brick building, trimmed with Bedford \nstone, steam heated and pipe for waterworks and gas light \n\ning. \n\nThe dimensions are 70ft. x 100ft, three stories and base- \nment. It was built by the Stanberry Pressed Brick Co. \nafter plans furnished by L. Grant Middaugh, of Kansas \nCity. Col. J. W. Harper, of Hamilton, then Presiding Judge \nof the C\'ounty Court, superintended the building of it. \n\nThis building is taken care of by S. W. Thompson, fam- \niliarly known as "Scotty\'\', who has given his entire time \nto the janitorship since June 1903, his services having been \nentirelv satisfactory to the officials and the County Court. \n\n\n\nI Caldwell County Missouri | \n\n\n\nW Historical and Descriptive. Area 432 Square fliles |j \nS Population 18,000 M \n\n\n\nIn many respects, north-west Missouri excels any part \nof the United States. For agriculture, its prairies rival \nany of the west: for thrift, enterprise and hospitality it \nstands the peer of any land. \n\nCaldwell County is located in this, the Eden of the \nwest: in the midst of a land of plenty, of lowing- herd and \nfattening swine. \n\nThe first settler to make his home within the present \nlimits of Caldwell Countyi is said to have been Jesse Mann, \nSr., who settled near the present site of Kingston in the \nspring- of 1831. At that time this territory was known as \nCaldwell Township, Ray County, and while there were \nscattering settlements from that time on yet, up to the year \n183H, there was not a town or even a store, in what is now \nCaldwell county, the nearest being at Richmond. \n\nThe first town in the county was Salem, two miles \nsouth-east of the present site of Kingston. \n\nCaldwell County was organized in 1836, the intention \nbeing to have a county made up entirely of Mormons, who \nselected Far West as their New Jerusalem and at which \nplace the seat of justice was established. Mormons came \npouring in rapidly from all over the United States until at \n\n\n\nthe time of the exodus, the population of the county was \nabout six thousand, and Far We\xc2\xabt was the largest town in \nMissouri, north of the river, and the largest town that ever \nwas within the borders of Caldwell County, having- about \n2500 inhabitants. \n\nIt was here the Mormons made preparations to build \na Grand Temple, which, however, they were not permitted \nto build. Nothing- now remains to mark the location of \nFar West except the excavation for the temple, which may \nbe seen at almost its orig-inal depth, a few stone scattered \nabout the temple site and the visitor is also shown the \n"stone that fell from heaven" to iSe the chief corner stone. \n\nThe cemetery, where sleep many followers of Josepj \nSmith, fell into disuse and has long since been in cultiva- \ntion and pasturage. \n\nFar West is buried in the past as effectually as if the \neartii had opened and eng\'ulfed the Mormon city. \n\nThe Mormon war occuring in 1 838, resulted in the ex- \npulsion of that sect from the stats, only a few remaining. \nAmid many privations they made their way to Nauvoo,Ill. \nduring- the winter of 1838-39, reducing- the population of the \ncounty to perhaps less than one thousand. \n\nFar West continued to be the county seat- until in i842. \nwhen commissioners appointed for that purpose, selected \nKingston, and in 1843 all offices and records were trans- \nferred to that place. \n\nAn attempt was made to locate the county seat at Sa- \nlem, but it was unsuccessful. This town too, is but a re- \nmembrance. \n\nThe Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad was built in i\'85t) \nand opened up a way of communication to this vast section \nof as fine prairie as ever the sun smiled on. It was not \nuntil 1887 that the southern part of the county was opened \nup by the building- of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul \nrailroad. The county has twelve townships and has been \nunder township organization since i872. \n\n\n\n\nJudj^e J. W. Rice Judjj^e Geo. N. Elliott \n\nPresiding Judge J. N. Chapman \n\nThe Caldwell County Court is composed of the above \ngentlemen, whose services as such court have been hig-hly \nsatisfactory. \n\nPresiding- Judge J. N. Chapman, was born in Quebec, \nCanada, in 1846, but was reared in Wisconsin. Has been \na resident of this county thirty six years and is one of the \nleading- farmers and stockman of FairvieAv twp., owning a \nlarge and well stocked farm. He is serving a second term \nand has made a very able official and carefully looked \nafter the interests of the county. \n\nJudge J. W. Rice, of Eastern Dist. born in Ohio, in \n1846. At the age of seventeen he inlisted in the Union army \nand served until the close of the civil war, on the gun-boat \nCurlew, No. 12 Mississippi Squadron. Coming to Caldwell \nin 1869, he has made this his home ever since and has been \nvery successful as a farmer. He lives at Cowgill and has \nmade a creditable record as a county official in his present \nposition. \n\nJudg-e Geo. N. Elliott, of the Western Dist., was born \nin Ohio in 1849, and came to this county at the age of nine- \nteen and has since resided near Mirable, Judge Elliott is \na farmer and owns a well improved farm. Judge Elliott cer- \ntainly deserves a second term for his record has been one of \nefficient service and he is a gentleman of undoubted integrity. \n\n\n\nCaldwell county has had four court houses, two of \nwhich were burned, and now has a new building and one \nof the neatest in the state, costing- about $30,000. \n\nThe g-reater part, perhaps all of the county is under- \nlaid with a fine quality of bituminous coal, one mine being- \nin operation at Hamilton. Oil and g-as also are thoug-ht to \nabound in certain parts of the county and immense beds of \nlimestone are found in many places. \n\nThe Klondike rock quarry, one and a half miles soutli \neast of King-ston. is one of the larg-est quarries in the state, \nand has been pronounced by experts to be even better than \nthe famous Bedford limestone. \n\nTaxable waalth of Caldwell County is about $8,000,000. \nHorses, mules, sheep, cattle and hog-s are the principal live \nstock raised and have a taxable wealth of about $7,000,000. \nThe county is entirely out of debt, has g-ood public build- \ning-s: the various streams of the county are spanned by \nmany steel bridg-es and there is about $80,000 in the school \nfund of the county. which is loaned at 6 per cent. The coun- \nty is rapidly coming to be one of the leading- dairy coun- \nties in the state. \n\nThere are 78 schools in the county, employing- 95 teach- \ners and accommodating- 4436 pupils. \n\nTaxes assessed for school purposes ag-greg-ate $50,000 \nannually. Tlie churches and lodges are well represented in \nthe various towns and further mention will l)e made in the \ndescriptive write up of each town. \n\nThere are also ten newspapers in the county which will \nalso be referred to later. \n\nThe people of Caldwell County are enterprising; and \nI)rog-ressive as is evidenced by the find public building\'s, \nschools and churches and many fine residences scattered \nthroug-hout the country. \n\nIt is well supplied by modern conveniences such as the \ntelephone and free rural mail delivery, almost all parts of \nthe countv being- reached by both telephone and mail. \n\n\n\nIt is certainly a pleasure to dwell in a county so fav- \nored by nature and amono- the refined and cultivated class \nof people that ^o to make Caldwell County one of the best \nin orand old Missouri. \n\nCaldwell County is a land of plenty: no man within her \nborders need f>() without em])loyment. for the various in- \ndustries are enou^^-h to sui>ply work foi- all tliose who will \nwork: way-es are u()()d and day laborei-s. al)le and willin;^- \nto \'^vork, are always in demand. \n\nAnd yet the county is susce})tible to ji\'reater develo])- \nment. With a railway openin^f up the central part o+\' the \ncounty, with its coal, stone and shale, the i)ossi])ilities are- \nj^reat indeed. \n\nPolitically, the county is republican, but the fact re- \nmains that of whatever party, the num who wishes to serve \nthe pe()})le. must be a man of character and fully capable \n. to discharo-e the duties and responsibilities likely to come \nwith the office to which he aspires. \n\nOn another pa^j-e will be ^i\'lven the vote of The different \nprecincts in the election of 11)04. \n\n\n\n\nHON.

Mr. Klepper is a man of strong personality, \nnarked abillity and undoubted Integrity. He enjoys the reputation of \nbeing the second largest man physically, in the House, is of commanding \nappearance, and. unlike most new members, is not sitting idly by, but is \ntaking an ae-tive part in the deliberaiions and is on some very important \nt onjnjittees. \n\n\n\nCIRCUIT COURT \n\n.1.

PHARES. \n\nThis u-entleman is a Caldwell County Product, having \nbeen born in 1877, reared in Fairview Township and educat- \ned for the most part in the district schools. \n\nFrom the farm he went to Kidder Institute where he \ngraduated ii. 1900. A year later he entered the office of Re- \ncorder of Deeds as deputy and served one year. Was elect- \ned to the office of Circuit Clerk in 1902 and has handled the \nbusiness of the office in a very satisfactory manner. \n\nWas married to Miss Maud Sherman, of Kingston. Oct. \nI8th, 1904. \n\nMr. Phares is a canidate for re-election and bases his \nclaims on his record, having- faithfully discharged his offi- \ncials duties and demonstrated his ability to handle the \nbusiness of the office in such a way as to becreditable to the \ncounty and to himself as well. \n\n\n\n\xe2\x96\xa0^ Vi/ \\if )tii \\)< lii \\ki \\t> tir \\i/ Vt/ \\tff \\ti \\if vii \\if Vii \\i( till \\ti) \\fo (t/i tl/ \\lui (t< Vii \\)\xc2\xbb Xiii \\ii \\i/ \\if itl^ \n\nI KINGSTON I \n\nI THE COUNTY SEAT | \n\n\n\nTHE land on which Kin^\'ston is hx\'ated was donated to \nthe county, for county seat purposes by James Ram- \nsey and Samuel Hill. It was laid out in 1842, lots \nsold at auction and proceeds applied to the erection of a \ncourt house. The town was named in honor of Gov. Aus- \ntin A. Kinu-. \n\nIn 1843 all offices and records of the county were moved \nfrom Far West to Kin^\'ston and the business in u-eneral \nwas transferred to the new county seat. \n\nKin^-ston has not made the rapid g\'rowth of other towns. \n])ut its g-rowth has been permanent and it has kept pace \nwith the general improvement of the county. Its people are \nenterprising- and progressive and have endeavored to build \nup the town and make it a desirable place to live in and a \ncapital of which the county mig-ht be proud. \n\nIt has been the ambition of King-ston to have railway \nfacilities, and at one time, for a ])eriod of about ten years. \n\n\n\nit had a short line to Hamilton. wJiich was forced to dis- \ncontinue because of the arbitrary policy of the Burlin<j;-ton \nsystem. \n\nThe story of the Burlington\'s dealing\'s has never aj)- \npeared in print for obvious reasons, but in justice to the \ntowns of Hamilt(^n and Kingston a short review is here \ng\'iven. \n\nThe intention of the promoters was to build a road \nfrom Kingston to Polo connecting with the Milwaukee, but \nHamilton offered to share the burden and subscribed liber- \nally, and as a result, the road was built there. In 1890 the \nHaine\'s Hamilton and Kingston Railroad was built, the \nrails being leased from the Burlington at $1000 i^er year. \nThe road was shortly sold and finally fell into tlie hands of \nthe Hamilton & Kingston R. R. Co. with a capital stock of \n$90,000, composed of eight men from Kingston and a \nlike number from Hamilton. \n\nThe Burlington system fixed the freight rates (except \nbetween the two towns) audited and recieved all through \nfreight money, furnished repairs and rendered its statement \nmonthly, less the rental for rails, etc., and it did not take \nthe new company long to see that expenses must be reduced \nand the earning power increased, or the road quit business. \n\nAs the road was a good feeder for the Burlington, they \nwere asked to reduce the rental on the rails which they re- \nfused to do. \n\nThen the plan to increase the earnings was taken up \nand it was proposed to build south two miles to the Klon- \ndike stone quarry, and develop that, and the Burlington \nwas asked to furnish rails at the same rental for that pur- \npose. This they agreed to do providing that the Hamilton \n& Kingston R. R. C\'o. would bind themselves not to extend \nthe road farther. \n\nAn attempt was made to sell the rcnid and a ])uyer was \nfound who would purchase, providing the road was exten- \nded to Polo. It was then decided to bond the road and ex- \ntend it to that point. President Case, of the Lincoln Trust \n\n\n\n\nROY A. McOOY. \n\n(\'aldwell County\'s |)oi)ulyr nnd efficient County (/lei\'k \nwas ])orn on a ranch in Marshall County, Kanas, in 1872. \nMis parents moved to Missouri Avhen he was three years of \nao-e, and after two years, moved to Jasper County, Iowa, \nwhere they remained ten years, then returning- to this county \nwliere he since lived. \n\nMr. McCoy graduated from the Hamilton High School \nin 1891 and was a member of the firm of W. C. McCoy & \nSons, of Hamilton, for twelve years. Was with a Kanas \nCity Commission house as officeman for one year and on \nthe road for the same house two years. Was appointed to \na position in the Census office at Washiuton, in 1900, filling \nan important position for two years, returning- in 1902 to \nenter the race for County Clerk. \n\nWas married Dec. 3rd, 1902 to Miss Ruby C. Stevens, \nof Washington. D. C, who very ably assists her husband \nin his official duties as one of his deputies. \n\nMr. McCoy will ask a second term and having- filled \nthe office so satisfactorily and demonstrated his ability and \nintegrity, he is certainly worthy the hearty support of his \nconstituents. \n\n\n\n( \'oiiipaiiv.

There \nare nine rooms, em})loying as many teachers and accom- \n\n\n\nmodatin^- at present .\')54 pupils, aside from tlie colored \nschool, which has 30 pupils and employs one teacher. \n\nThe city\' tax is only 50 cents on the one dollar valua- \ntion which is very: low for a city the size of Hamilton. \n\nThe churches of Hamilton are a credit to the city and \nspeak well for the moral and religious atmosphere of the \nplace. \n\nPerhaps the lar^vst and costliest structure is that of \nthe Methodist Episcopal church which was built two or \nthree years ago at a cost of $5,000. This building- is a \nmodern structure and nicely furnished, a cut of wiiich ap- \npears in this directory. \n\nThe Presbyterian and C-ong-regational churches are \nalso new and up-to-date buildings, costing about $4,000 \neach and in harmony with the advancement of the cause \nthey represent and of the times. \n\nAmong the frame church buildings are the Christian, \nthe Baptist, Episcopal and Advents, the first two being- \nlarg-e and commodious and well furnished. \n\nThe Catholics have secured suitable ground for a church \nand will build this year. \n\nLodg-es too, are well represented. The Fraternal Home \nbeing a home enterprise, which is spreading rapidly \nover the state. \n\nThe , K. P. Lodge has a membership of 150. H. H. \nWeaver is C. C, and Dr. J. C. Stone.

M., and Henry Murphy \nis Secretary. \n\nThe Royal Arch Masons have 50 members, W.J.Wyatt \nbeing High Priest and Embry Owen. Scribe. This is the \nonly Royal Arch Lodge in the county. \n\nThe Rebecca Lodge, of which Mrs. J. F. Anderson is \nN. G. and Mrs. Laura Filson, Secretary, has 130 members \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nW. B.

Ohio, September 2()th. 1841. \nthe subject of this sketch entered the Union service at the \nao-e of 24 and served during the civil war. \n\nHe came west in 1865 but returned to Ohio wliere he \nlived until 1881. Coming- to Indiana he remained for a \nyear then to Nebraka. residino- there for twelve years \nwhen he came to Caldwell County where he has since resid- \ned. He was assessor of Hamilton Township two terms and \nis now serving- his second term as County Treasurer. He \nhas filled the office in a way entirely satisfactory and it \nis regretted tliat tlie law precludes his re-election for a \na third term. \n\nMr. White is a genial gentleman and his pleasing per- \nsonality will be greatly missed at the expiration of his term \nof office. \n\n\n\nand the Rathbone Lodge has a membership of KM). Mrs. \nFrank CosgTOve being- Most Ex. Chief and Mrs. Cora \nBrown, Mistress of Records. There is a friendly rivalry \nbetween these two lodges and a great interest manifested in \ntheir work. \n\nThe O. E. S.,only lately organized, has about 40 mem- \nbers. Mrs. Frank Clark is W. M., C. F. Ridings. W. P., \nand Miss Sarah Tuttle, Secretary. \n\nThe Woodmen are also represented but do not meet \nregularly. \n\n\n\nH y^ \n\n\n\nHAMILTON\'S SCHOOL BUILDINCiS \n\nHamilton has two well patronized newspapers, both \nhaving a good circulation. The Farmers\' Advocate is the \nonly democratic organ in the county, has the largest \ncirculation of any newspaper in the county, is owned by \nHolman & Ridings and edited and published by C. F. Rid- \nings. \n\nThe Hamiltonian is one of the leading republican news- \npapers and is owned, edited and published by W. J.Clark. \n\nMorton\'s Printery is a new job printing ofiice owned \nby C. E. Morton, and has received very liberal support. \nThis Directory is a fair sample of the work Mr. Morton is \nprepared to do and certainly compares favorably with the \nwork done by larger printing establishments of the cities. \n\n\n\nHamilton has the lar^\'est civamery in the state and also \nhas a eoal sliaft in operation emj)loyin^" about 75 men. \nCITY OFFICIALS OF HAMILTON \n\nMayor, S.

MOORE \n\nHAMiLTON, - - MISSOUR \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIBRECKENRIDQEI \n\nI Population J200 | \n\nHi\'wkfnrid^c, a hustlinj^ little city, situated in the noj-tli \neast |)art of theeounty on the Hannibal and St. Joseph rail- \nr\'oad. is surrounded by as fine praii-ie land as the eye could \nwish to see. \n\nThe postoft\'ice at this place was oi-ij>inal]y called (irand \nIliver post office, but in IHofi it was named l^reckenrid^e by J. \nB, Terrill, who was a ^reat admirer of John ( \'. Breckenrid^-e. \nThe town was laid out after the survey had been made for- \nthe\'Hannibal and St. Joseph R. K.. and tlie jrpowth was slow, \nit was incor])orated in 186!) and has made a steady, thoui^h \nnot raj)id j^rowth since that time. \n\nBreckenridj^e has, however, in past few years awakened \nto the necessity of doin^ things. Jt has a nice |)ark with \nyi-and stand and paved walks and a <roodly lot of granitoid \nwalks and crossings. \n\nThe telephone exchanj^e is well patronized and during\' \nthe past year the city voted $10,000 V)onds for the purpose of \nbuildinj< an electric li^ht plant which is now in full opera- \ntion. This is the only case of municipal ownej-shij) of pub- \nlic utilities in the county and bids fait- to be a very suc- \ncessful \\enture. \n\n\n\nThe fui\'niture factory of Ward & Son is the most exten- \nsive factory of any kind in the county, or in this part of the \nstate. Mr Ward lias been a resident of Breckenrid^\'e al- \nmost from the founding- of the town and has, from very small \nl)e^-innin^-, ])ni]tup this larg-e enterprise, and is now one of \nthe best exami)les of the type of self made man in Caldwell \n( \'ountv. \n\n\n\niil \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n^0 \n\nHJlKi KENKIDtiE SCH \n\n\n\nI. HUILUINC; \n\n\n\nThere is also located here a rock crusher employing \nfrom 50 to 100 men, the product being- used chiefly by the \nHannibal and St. Joseph R. R. \n\nBreckenridg-e is well supplied with both churches and \nlodges. The Christian church has the larger membership \nand has a neat brick edifice. \n\nThe Methodist Episcopal churcli has about 100 mem \nbers and has a commodious frame building. Imt is contem- \n\n\n\nplating\' tlie erection of a modtrn hriek structui-e this year, \nthe probable cost bein"\' $6,01)1). \n\nTli9 M. E. Church, Soutli, Presbyterian, Cono*reo-ation- \nal and Baptist each have frame buildinos and a fair mem- \nship. \n\nTliere is also a Catholic cliurch. \n\nThe school buildin^- is a g\'ood bvick having six rooms. \nThere are 6 teachers employed and 2+0 pupils in attendance. \n\nA cut of the buidino- appears in this Directory. \n\nBreckenrido-e has one newspaper. The Bulletin, owned \nand edited by J. T. Kennower. Mr. Kennower has perhaps \nthe best plant in the county and it certainly was the busiest \noffice the writer visited while preparing- this Directory. \n\nThe followino- Lod^\'es ar^ repres?rit?d: \n\nI.

Kidder in 1860. Thayer College \nwas established there but failed to get sufficient support \nand the building was finally sold to the Congregational \nchurch for academy purposes. \n\nKidder is situated on high prairie land overlooking a \nvast scope of country in every direction. It is near the \nDaviess county line, and in fact, a part of the town was \nlaid out in that countv. \n\n\n\nIt has a hospitable and kindly people, d.n-oted to edu- \ncation and to the hig-her purposes of life, and is noted more \nfor the fact that the institute is here located, than perhaps \nany other thing-. Its people poii.t with pride to it and well \nmay they be proud of such an institution for it is a credit \nnot only to Kidder, but to the entire county. \n\nOn another pag-e is given an exterior view of Tliayer \nHall, toward which so many young- people have turned \ntheir eyes with the hope o^ being- helped to enter life well \ntrained, and have done so not in vain. \n\nThe town has a bank which is doing an excPi)tionally \ng"ood business and is one of the solid institutions of the \ncounty. It has lately chang-ed manag\'ement because of the \nfact that Mr. J. H. Burnett, the retiring\' cashier, found the \nincreasing- work too arduous for him and saw the need of \na young-er man. \n\nKidder also has one of the neatest made up counti-y \nweeklies to be found anywhere and it is receiving- tlie loyal \nsupport of the business men and is certainly deserving- it. \nThe Kidder Independent, is owned and published by W. A. \nBlack and Mrs. Black, esteemable young- people, who are \nworking- earnestly to make the paper a success and it is \none that would do credit to a much larger town. \n\nThe Caldwell County Mutual Telephone Company, luiv- \ning- 200 share holders, is also a Kidder org-anization. The \ncompany is out of debt, have g-ood service and have made \nbut one assessment in the three years they have operated. \nMr. J. H. Burnett is president and Cluirles A. M4z. secre- \ntary. \n\nA neat frame school building- is presided over by three \nteachers and there is an attendance of about 100 pui)ils. \n\nThere are several churches. The Methodist Kpisc\'()[)al \nhas the larg-est meml)ership, having- about 100 m nnl\xc2\xbbers. \n\nThe C\'ong-regational and C\'hristian churches each have \nabout 80 members. All have frame buildings. \n\nThe Baptists are also represented her.^. \n\n\n\nTlie folio. vino- lodu-es are represented: M. W. A.. \nG. H. Bmwn. V. (\'.. VV. A. Black. Clerk, 70 members. \nG. A. R..

Thayer Hall \nwas purchased for that purpose, havino- l.een vacant some \ntwelve vears. \n\n\n\nIt is beautifully situated, is a substantial brick, four \nstories, 44 feet x 80 feet, and orig\'inally costing- $30,000.00. \n\nThe Principal, Prof. G. W. Shaw, has won a larg-e place \nin educational circles by fifteen years faithful service and \nsteadfast devotion to duty. He is both a gentleman and a \nscholar and is meeting with deserved success in the man- \nagement of the school. There are now 160 students, the at- \ntendance having- steadily increased the i)ast few years. \n\n\n\nKidder Tax Payers \n\n\n\nIW" Fai-mers are designated by a star (*) and stockmen \nby a double star (**) \n\n\n\nAlden Marietta \nAlden C C* \nAllen C R \nAllen Marg-arett \nAllen M G \nAment J H groceries \nAronhalt Marf F \n\nBailev R T* \nBaker J B \n\nBaldwin J C \n\nBeaudry A \n\nBeaumont James \n*Bell Jerry \n\nBexman A M Rev \n\nBlack W A publisher \n*Bolen W A \n*Bonar A J \n\nBrice J J \n*Brookshire J M \n\nBrown G H \n\nBuck E M \n*Bunch Wm \n\nBench W T \n\n\n\nBurbank D J \n\nBurpank I P \n*Burkett Sam \n\nBurkett J H \n* Burrows H E \n*Brown Elias \n\nBacon Jason \n\n.Butts J W \n\nBurkett G W \n\nBristow Earnest \n\nBurkett Geo W \n\nCannon Jon W MD \nCarter C W \n\nCastor Eliza \n\nCastor J J \n\nChambers James \n^Christian R H \n\nClark L R \n*Cott"ey E S \n*Coffey Daniel \n\nCoffey J L \n\nColeman J W \n\nCole C S real estate \n\n\n\ncari)i^ntei\' \n\n\n\n( ollins (\' (\' \n("oult S (\' \n*( \'I\'ouse J W \nCarrol Martha \n\nDvkes Jesse \nbooley Patrick \nDunkle Isaac \nDillard J W miller \nDeWeese A A \nDeems J W \n*Davis A G \n*Davis L E \n\nFox Mau-oie \nFairall T ( \nFord A B \nFort Mary A \n*Fulton Frank \n\nGittin^"er J N merchant \nGreen G A merchant \nGreenwalt Mrs J H \nGurney E J \n(4iirney E S \n\nHenderson Lewis* \nH addon M W* \n^Hamlet Joe \n*Hamlet Thos J \n*Hamahan John \n*Harter Jeff ( \' \n\nHarter Mrs S J \n\nHarter T J \n\nHarter W A restaurant \n\nHaves J H \n*Hewitt B ( \' \n\nHohltield S B \n\nHoltzapple W V \n*Hooper H T \n^Howard A F \n\nHuckley James \n\nHarpster Sarali \n\nHendricks Simon c \n*Hendricks Isiah \n*Havden J A \n\n\n\nKIDDER TAXPAYERS\xe2\x80\x94 Continued \nIn^jflehart Gha? \n\n\n\nJones J M barber \nJohnson C W* \n\n* Jewel I G W \n\n* Jewell J S \n\n* Jewell C II \n\nTT\'enney P S* \n\xe2\x96\xa0*"^Klepper John \n*Knoch John \n*Knoch P P \nKoons J J furniture \nLarrabee Ben merchant \n\nMartin W M \nMartin W S \n*Mears H J \n\nMeloy R E \n\nMeecer Wm C \n\nMetz Chas A \n\nMicheals Noah \n^Millard Henrv \n\nMiller J D \n*McBeath A W \n*McBeal,h J K \n*McDaniel W G \n*McDonald Erve \n\nMcDonald Mary J \n*McMurtrev c: T druy \n*McWilliams J S \n*McKee Adison \n*McBride Jas \n*McM aster Sam \n*McKee F L \n\n\n\nN \n\n\n\nash G (" \n\nNelson Mart>arett \n* Nichols L A \n-^Nichols J E \nNetcher Mrs Ann \nNichols T H \n\n\n\narpenter IJark G A* \n-\xe2\x96\xa0\xe2\x96\xa0 Parker H i \n\n\n\nPark Lovina \n\n\n\nKIDDER TAXPAYERS -Continued \n\n\n\n**Pennev Eli \n**Petree J E \n**Phillips G E \n\nPhillips G H \n\nPile H L \n*Potts John A \n\nPurvis G M \n\nReed Fred \nReam Adam* \nReam Conrad \n*Ream Harvey \n*Ream Jesse \n*Ream Wesley \n*Roper J T \nReedey Lawerence \n\nStevenson A W \nSweaney G H \n\nStiles W R \n^Stiles Geo \n*Stiles Geo W \n\nStephenson Eliza \n*Spurlock G B \n*Sparks C W \n\nSong\'berg\'er A \n\nSmith Phillip \n\nShaw Nellie M \n\nShaw Frank \n\nShaw G W teacher \n\nShaw Chas L druu-jj-ist \n\nSears W W \n\n\n\n*Seaton E B \n*Seaton B M \n\nSackett E D \n\nSaddler M H \n\nSaunders G W \n*Shaw C T \n\nThomas H T \nTeag-arden O G * \n*Thiel J A \nTuttle D E \nTuttle Verne \n*Turner Jacob \nTurner J H \nTurner Fred livery \n\nVallandig\'ham G W \n*Vaug\'hn E B \n\nWyman C F \nWilson W H \nWilson James post master \nWindle Isaih merchant \nWhitelaw Jonn Sr. lumber \nWhitelaw John Jr. lumber \nWebster C B \n\n^Whitehead A O \n\n*Writ E P \nWood E C \n\nZook A B \nZook W O \n\n\n\nKeen and Klean \n\nlie m vmM \n\nBlack Publishinji\' Company \n\nEditors and Proprietors \n\nVV.

W. SHAW, A. M. \n\nPrincipal \n\n\n\n1^ \n\n\n\nPOLO I \n\nPopulation 700 | \n\nThis lively little city is situated in the southern part \nof the county, and on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul \nRailroad, about fifty miles north-east of Kansas City and \nsix miles directly south of the county seat. \n\nThe settlement of Polo commenced in 1871 and five years \nlater had a population of about one hundred and fifty. It \nwas not platted until nearly ten years later than this, in \n1886, just a short time before the building- of the Chicago, \nMilwaukee & St. Paul Pvailroad. \n\nAt the present time, Polo is a thriving little city of the \nfourth class, and during the past year or two has made \nvery great advancement. Several new buildings have been \nbuilt and granitoid sidewalks and crossings are becoming \nmore in evidence and add much to the convenience and im- \nprovement of the place. \n\nOne building that has been built within the past few \nyears and which is deserving of special mention, is the new \nMethodist Episcopal Church, South, a cut of which appears \nin this directory. It was finished somewhat more than two \n\n\n\nyears ago at a cost of about -$(),\')00 and is a modern struc- \nture and one which many a larger town could point to with \npride. \n\nWhile speaking- of new building-s it w^ould be well to \nmenti<m that of the First National Bank building just com- \npleted at a cost of $3,000, and which is the neatest, best \nequipped and most modern banking house in the county. \nThe first floor is fitted up for the First National Bank and \nis handsomely furnished and it is a pleasure to do business \nin such pleasant environment. It is not only inviting in \nappearance but the equipment is first class throughout in \nevery respect, no expense being spared to make it an up-to- \ndate banK. It has a double vault, with safety deposit box- \nes for its patrons, and everything necessary for the protec- \ntion and welfare of the bank and its depositors. \n\nThe second story is fitted up for office use and the rooms \nare all nicely finished. The entire building is heated by a \nlarge furnace situated in the basement. \n\nThis bank was organized in September 1905, with a cap- \nital stock of $30,000, owned by thirty-seven shareholders. At \nthe close of the first six month\'s business there was $67,000 \ndeposits, speaking well for the confidence in which this in- \nstitution is held by the community. \n\nThe Cashier, Mr. J. B. Bathgate, is a young man of \nsterling business qualities and is a very accommodating \ngentleman. \n\nPolo also has another bank which has been doing a \nvery successful business for several years. The Farmers \nBank is one of the old, substantial banks of the county and \nhas won the confidence and support of the people by fair and \nupright dealings. Last year a new managment took charge \nof its afi\'airs, raising its capital stock from $20,000 to $26,000 \nin order to better accomodate the growing business of the \ninstitution. It is nicely located in a new building, having \nfire proof vaults and good fixtures, etc. They contemplate \nhowever, making extensive improvements this year and pre- \npare to better serve the interests of the public. The officers \n\n\n\nof the bank are: J. E. Linville, Pres.: W. C. Stone, 1st. \nVice Pres.; W. S. Bathg-ate, 2nd. Vice Pres.: John G. \nVVitliers. Cashier and E. C. Muck, Assistant. \n\nMr. Withers has shown able manag\'ement of the bank\'s \nattairs and is a pleasant and ag-reeable g-entleman, and his \nassistant, Ml\\ Muck, who is also book-keeper, is experien- \nced in that profession, having- served a Kansas City bank \nia that capacity for six years. Since July 1st, the new \nmanag-ement has added $4,000 to the surplus and profits. \n\nThe stockhohlers are: John E. Linville, Wm. Arnote. \nThomas Bathg-ate, B. F. Carr, Jas. Estes, Soloman Jones, \nFrank Thompson, M. P. Thompson, Wm. Lile, W. S. \nBathg-ate, John Pate and John G. Withers. \n\nPolo has an energetic class of busiuess men and is one \nof the best trading- points in the county. Nearly all of the \nenterprising- business firms are represented in the advertis- \ning- columns of this directory. \n\nTwo newspapers are published here. The Polo News, \nan independent weekly, is published by Maytum and Jones \nand edited by Clyde S. Jones. The Vindicator is published \nby Wing-er and Bakhvin. These papers are well supported \nby advertisers and lend their aid to the advancement of the \ninterests of Polo. \n\nThe Polo Public Schools employ four teachers and \nhave a g-ood attendance. One thing- remarkable about the \ng-raduating- class this year is the fact that, out of a class of \nnine, all are young; men except one. This is unusual and \nspeaks well for the oncoming- g-eneration of young- men of \nPolo. The school building- is a two-story brick of w^hich a \ncut will be found elsewhere. \n\nThe Milwaukee Railroad is now preparing to build its \ncoal shutes at this point and also will place a turn-table \nhere. \n\nPolo has not the number of lodges and churches of the \nordinary town of this size, but those that are represented \nhave a more earnest support because it is concentrated on \na less number. This is very fortunate. Where new lodg-es \n\n\n\nIn lodg-es, the Masons have perhaps the strong-est mem- \nbership, having- about 80 members with the following offi- \ncers: J. B. McVeig-h, W. M., and W. F. Hiatt, Secretary. \n\nThe I. O. O. F. have a o\'ood lodge of which the follow- \ning- are the officers: Frank Buchanan, N.G., and J. W. \nHammack, vSecretary. \n\nThe M. W. A. do not meet regularly but have the fol- \nlowing officers: John Bowman Ven. Consul, M. H. Winger, \nClerk. \n\nThe O. E. S. have a good working lodge with a live \nmembership.

In the vicinity of Bra\\^mer now, land \nfrequently sells. for from $75 to $100 per acre and there is \nperhaps no land within a radius of 10 miles that can be \nbought for $40 per acre. \n\nMr Steenrod, now a mail of perhaps 70 years of age, is \nyet living in his farm house which is located in the center \nof Braymer. \n\nBraymer is surrounded by a very fertile section of \ncountry and has a large territory to draw from and has a \nmarvelous trade and ships more stock than any town on \nthe Milwaukee Railroad between Ottumwaand Kansas City. \nIt has two or three of the largest stocks of goods and many \nof the most enterprising business men to be found in the \ncounty. \n\nill^^^Popuhition is KHK). instead of 15(H) as Kiven above which Is a typo- \ngraphical cnor. \n\n\n\nA brick and tile plant is operated by Wm McCubbin and \nis taxed to its utmost capacity and yet is not able to fill all \norders coming in and is compelled to ship from other points. \n\nA broom factory is also among" its enterprises and is \noperated by Mr Hewitt which has received a large local \nand foreign patronage. \n\nTwo newspapers are published here. The Braymer Bee \nby C. P. Dorsey, is an independent weekly, having a cir- \nculation of over a thousand. The Comet is edited by C. K. \nFleming and is a Republican weekly newspaper having a \ncirculation of about nine hundred. These papers receive a \nliberal patronage of the business men and are good exam- \nples of a thrifty country weekly. \n\nThere are two telephone exchanges, which is a very un- \nfortunate condition, as it works a hardship on the merchants \nand business men generally, who are compelled to have both \nphones. \n\nVitrified brick walks have the preference in Braymer, \nalthoug\'h there are many nice granitoid walks, while the pre- \nvailing street crossing is of wood. \n\nBraymer seemingly lacks public enterprise, due perhaps \nto the fact that its business men are engrossed in individual \nbusiness affairs and enjoying a large degree of prosperity \nand do not take the time to consider the public enterprise \nbecause of pressing individual business. \n\nOf course the fact must be taken into consideration that \nBraymer has sprung into existence in the past twenty years \nand has not developed as other towns of like size but older \nin years. \n\nThe people are hospitable. Men, women and children \ngreet the stranger on the street much the same as they do \nan acquaintance, a peculiarity that makes him feel at home \nand compels a comparison between Braymerites and the in- \nhabitants of other towns, in which comparison Braymer \ndoes not suffer. \n\nThere are two banks located here and have a very sat- \nisfactory business in the banking line. These are the First \nNational Bank and the Bank of Braymer. \n\n\n\nThe Bank of Bra ymer was org^anized in 1887 and m \n1888, S. F. Faraar, the present cashier, became identified \nwith it and has since conducted its affairs as cashier. This \nbank has never failed to pay its semi-annual dividend and \nhas enjoyed a good business and the confidence of the peo- \nple. Its stockholders and directors, a list of whom may be \nseen in the advertising columns, are men of influence and \ntheir personalities add great strength to this bank. \n\nMr. J. R. Dalbey, the President, is also engaged in the \nmercantile business and has one of the largest stocks of \ng"eneral merchandise in the county and is one of the most \nsubstantial and influential business men of Braymer. \n\nThe bank is well equipped with two vaults, protected by \nelectrical appliances, steel lining and burglar alarms and \nis a member of the American and the Missouri Bankers \nAssociation. It has a good corps of officers and assistants. \nMr. Farrar is a popular and efficient cashier. \n\nBraymer is a thriving citj of the fourth class, is rap- \nidly extending its limits and shows evidences of greater \ng-rowth. \n\nThe Mowder addition has been lately platted and is \nthe largest addition that ever was laid out to any town in \nthe county, containing over forty-five acres, composed of \ntwelve blocKs with an aggregation of 143 lots of various \ndimensions. It lies to the north of Braymer and the lay \nof the land is such as to make beautiful building places \nand already a large number of lots have been sold. These \nfine lots aa^e being sold at very reasonable prices-. \n\nMr. C. L. Mowder who platted this addition, is also \npostmaster and exerts a strong influence for the upbuilding \nof Braymer. He has taken great interest in political af- \nfairs and, m 1895 was Reading Clerk of the House, being \nthe first Republican to hold that position since reconstruc- \ntion days. He was one of the two delegates from this dis- \ntrict to the National Convention that nominated McKinley \nand Roosevelt and was the Missouri member of the Com- \nmittee on Credentials, \n\n\n\nMr. Mowder lias also been a very successiul newspaper \nman, having edited The Comet ior several years and hav- \ning- been connected with several i ther papers from time to \ntime. \n\n\n\n\nBRAY^IER SCHOOL BUILDING \n\n\n\nBraymer claims for its schools the highest standard of \nexcellence of any in the county. Seven teachers are era- \nployed and about 350 pupils are in attendance of whom 75 \nare from neio-hboring- districts, who come here to take ad- \nvantag"e of the superior facilities oti\'ered by this school. \nTwo years ag-o a new building- was completed at a cost of \n$14,000 of which a cut appears herein. \n\nIn hotel accommodations, Braymer excels any other \ntown in the county, having the best equipped hotel. The \nFranklin, of which a cut is here given, is a four-story \nbrick, steam heated and lighted by electricity. Hot and \ncold water apparatus is being installed and the house is \nwell furnished throughout, \n\nMr. J. R. Wilson, the present proprietor, has demon- \nstrated his ability to care for the hungry wayfarer and has \n\n\n\nmade a successful landlord. This is one Of the best hotels \nin this section of the country, Mr. Wilson has been in \ncharge about four years. \n\n\n\n^. \n\n\n\n\nW-A^- \n\n\n-^^ \n\n\nW^ \n\n\n^\xe2\x96\xa0"""" ^S \n\n\nmm \n\n: r\' , \\ \n\n\n1 \n\n\nu^B^. \n\n\nE \n\n\n\n\nm^a^\'i-\'^f^ \n\n\n\nTHE FRANKLIN HOTEL \n\nBraymer is the home of one of the popular young at- \ntorneys of the county, Mr. L. R. Kautz, who is a Caldwell \ncounty boy, having been reared in the vicinity of Hamil- \nton. He is a graduate of Kidder Institute and has also \ntaken the law course at Columbia. He has an in increas- \ning legal business, represents some of the best insurance \ncompanies, makes collections, loans, etc., and at present \nhe is city attorney. \n\nIn connection with the advance of Braymer is given a \ncut of S. M. Coffinan (the Braymer Jeweler and Optician) \nand a model engine built by him. This model was built \nfor the J. I. Case Thrashing Machine Co., of Racine, Wis., \nand delivered in February of this vear. This is the largest \n\n\n\ncompany of its kind in the world and has just completed a \nnew office building that is claimed to bs the finest in the \nUnited States, and this model is now on display in its win- \ndows and is a remarkable piece of mechanism. It repre- \nsents their twelve horse power traction engine, and is a \nperfect working model of the same, made on a scal\'e of one \n\n\n\n\n\n\nS. E. COFFMAN AXD MODEL EXCUXE BUILT BY HIM \n\nand a half inches to the foot, or one-eighth size. It is \ncompos9d of 3150 parts, there being 882 pieces in the two \nrear wheels and 41 pieces in the differential gearing It \nhas 30 flues, water and steam guage, governor and safety \nvalve and whistle and is just as complete in every way as \nthe engine it represents. \n\n\n\nMr. Coffman has surmounted innumerable difficulties \nin this work, even making* most of the tools with which to \ndo the work. He takes especial deligiit in work that to the \nordinary mechanic seems impossible and no task is too dif- \nficult for him to attempt. He is an inventor of many labor \nsaving- devices and ranks among- the best in this kind of \nwork. He is now at work on a model separator for the \nsame company and will also build another engine. \n\n\n\n\nL. R. KAUTZ, BRAYMER \n\n\n\nThere are five churches in Braymer of which the Metho- \ndist Episcopal has much the strongest membership, having- \nabout 225 members. It owns a good brick church building- \n\n\n\nwhich will not long* suffice for this denoirination as it is \ntoo small for a church of this membership which is alive \nand growing\'. \xe2\x96\xa0 \n\nThe Baptists are next in point of numbers and 1 ave \nsomewhat more than 100 members and a very nice frame \nbuilding. \n\nThe United Brethern have a membership of fifty and a \nframe building-. \n\nThers are two Christian Churches, the original Antioch \nchurch becoming- divided on the question of an organ some \nlive years ag-o. Antioch was established in 1875, some \neig-ht years before the town was started and now has a \nmembership of about 40 and worship without the organ. \n\nThe other members organized into a church in 1901 and \nnow have about fifty members, a good frame building- and \nadd the melodious strains of the organ to their devotions. \n\nThe following- lodges are represented: \n\nBra vmer Lodge, No. 135 A.

C. Petty, is \n74x120 feet, and has lately b-en eomplit?d at a cost of \n$13,000. \n\n\n\n\nE. C. PETTY BUILDING \n\n\n\nCowgiU\'s public schools employ four teachers but do \nnot have a very large attendance, ha ving on.y about 110 \npupils, but on the whole, the school is rather above the \naverage for a village of this size. The building is a large \nand commodious two-story brick and is practically a new \nbuilding. The school is fairly well sui)plied with maps, \ncharts, etc., and has also a small library. \n\n\n\nTlie town has one newspaper. The Cowoill Chief, edited \nand published by Geo. B. CowJey, but does not have a very \nextensive circulation. \n\nThe First National Bank is the only bank and is doino\' \na ^-ood business and is represented in the advertising- col- \numns herein. \n\n\n\n\n.J. D. ALLEN \n\nThis town is the home of J. D. Allen, a member of the \n(/aldwell County bar, and who is clerk and attorney for \nthe town. \n\nMr. Allen has been practicing- law for ten years past, \nhaving- read law with J. M. Davis & Son of Chillicothe, and \nlocated in Cowgill for the practice of his profession seven \nyears ago. He is a Missouriail, being- born and reared in \n\n\n\nLivingston county and educated in the country and high \nschools there. Has been identified with the interests of \nCowgill now several years and has had a marked degree of \nsuccess in his chosen profession. During- the past year and \na half he has not lost a case, which certainly speaks well \nof his ability as a lawyer. He has an extensive foreign \npractice. \n\n\n\n\nM. E. CHURCH, SOUTH \n\n\n\nCowg-ill is well supplied with churches, having five \nframe buildings owned by as many different denominations. \nThe Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is perhaps the \nbest frame church buildina\' in the county, being built a few \nyears ag-o at a cost of about $8,000, and is a very neat \n\n\n\nplace of worship. This denomination has a membership of \nabout 150, and is the strongest representsd at this place. \n\nThe Baptists have the next strong-est membership, \nwhich is perhaps about 100 members. \n\nThe Methodist Episcopal church have fifty members and \nthe Christians and Presbyterians have about the same \nnumber. \n\nilotii acco-nnolatioas are g-ood at Cowgill. The \nPJankington House is a well furnished hotel. The present \n\n\n\n\nPLANKERTON HOTEL AND FIRST NATIONAL BANK \n\nproprietor, J. M. Davidson, who has had charge of the \nhouse only about six months, but during that time has \ncarefully looked after the comfort of his patrons and has \ngiven very general satisfaction as a landlord. He has had \nseveral years experience before coming here. The build- \ning is lighted by a private gas light plant and is well loca- \nted and well patronized. \n\n\n\nThe postnja.ster of C>ow|j-ill, is\'A. F. McCray, who has \nfor his assistant, his daughter. Miss Merle McCray. Mr. \nMcCray was the first postmaster in the United States to be \nappointed by the McKinley administration and has render- \ned efficient service. He is also ons of the leading auction- \neers of north Missouri, and his son, Frank McCray, assists \nhim in this work. Last year their total sales aggregated \nthe sum of $157,820, and their services are always in demand. \n\nMr. McCray is a veteran of the civil war, and lost a limb \nin-ths s-erviC3 of his country. " Has b33n- a rasident of the- \ncounty many years and has the respect of the community in \nwhich he lives, enjoys a large accquaintance and is a genial \nand whole-souled gentleman. \n\nCowgill has uiany progressive business men who be- \nlieve in hustling and advertising as will appear by refer- \nence to the advertising columns. \n\nAmong the lodges represented here are the I O.

E. Marquam in 184J). \nIt is yet without any town or villag-e org-anization, and, in \nfact, has little need of it, for its citizens are inclined to the \nways of peace and the arm of the law is seldom invoked \nfor the preservation of either life or property or to pre- \nserve th^ dig-nity of the state. \n\nThe land on which Mirabile is situated was entered by \nJohn Gregg-, a Mormon, in 1836, and three years later \nwhen he lefti^for Navoo, 111., the land was bought by Mr. \nMarquam who also purchased a stock of goods and a log- \nbuilding at Far West and removed them to the sight of the \nstore building no^ occupied by John H. Clark. This was \nknown as "Marquana^ Store" for some time, but other \nbuildings were soon built and, finally, Mr, Marquam plat- \nted and laid out the town and called it Mirabile, \n\n\n\nUntil the building of the Hannibal & St. Joseph K. K.. \nMirabile merchants hauled their goods from Camden, on \nthe Missouri and Mirabile became quite a trading point. \n\nDuring the war, Mirabile was thoroughly Union in \nsympathies, and it is said that nearly every able-bodied \nman did service.\' It was here that Capt. Johnson\'s and \nCapt. James\'s Home Guards were organized in 18(il. being \nthe first to organize in North Missouri. \n\n\n\n\nL. L. FROST \n\nMirabile was the scene of some stirring events during \nthe war. The Thrailkill raid in 1864, is perhaps the most \nnotable. Coming from Kingston where he had sacked the \ntown. Thrailkill })roceeded to plunder Mirabile. The stoip \n\n\n\nof Dr. W. H. Crawford was entered and nearly everythino- \ntaken or destroyed. The safe was opened where $4,7H5 in \ncash was found, over half of which was money belongin^^- \nto different parties who had left it there for safe keepin;^-. \nCrawford\'s loss was $2,700 cash and $2,300 in g\'oods. \nOther stores were pillaged and many lost considerable \nin goods and cash as a result of this raid while some were \ntaken prisoners and came near losing their lives. \n\nAt present, Mirabile has three general stores, a drug \nstore, hotel, mill, blacksmith shop and harness shop and \nseveral nice residences. \n\nThe Mirabile school employs one teacher, has about \n40 pupils in attendance and is housed in a commodious \nframe building. \n\nThere are two frame church buildings, the one belong- \ning to the Presbyterians and the other to the M. P. and \nBaptist congregations. The M. P. denomination is the \nstronger here, having abont 65 members. \n\nThe I. O. O. F. is the strongest lodge with a member- \nship of 80. \xe2\x96\xa0 T. O.
