Missouri; in 1889, he acquired an interest in the Harrison McCue Hdw. Co., of Auxvasse, but retired to his
farm in 1904. While not an office holder, he has ever taken a deep interest in politics, has been Central Committeeman in Callaway for years; Congressional Committeeman, and Delegate to the State Convention at various times. During the late war he enlisted under the "Stars and Bars," with his brother, Henry, both shared in the trying ordeals of war, were captured, had horses shot from under them, but survived the hostilities without a scar. For a score of years the kindred have been accustomed to gather at his home every few years in celebration of his birthday, last July (1911) there were present one hundred and ten.
