Peter C. Porter, P. O., Cambridge. Was born in Glasgow, Howard county, Missouri, January 25, 1839, and lived there five years, when his father William H. Porter, moved to Chariton county, and at the age of ten, his father moved to Saline county and located in Cambridge, where he grew to manhood, and engaged in farming and stock raising, in which occupation he has continued ever since. He was married to Miss Cornelia B.
