PAUL JAMES PASCOE

PAUL JAMES PASCOE was born in Rockland, Ontanogan County, Michigan, July 29,
1861. He is a son of J. W. Pascoe, and was one of the first English speaking
boys in Barton County. His father whose biography is found in another part of
this book came to Kansas in the spring of 1871 and first located in Russell
County where he remained a short time and then returned to Michigan. He stayed
there for a year and returned to Kansas and since that time has been one of the
best known farmers of Barton County. Paul James Pascoe has been farming for
himself for the past twenty-two years and owns the west half of section 30,
Eureka township. He was married in June, 1885, to Miss Mary Anne White and they
are the parents of six children as follows: John Thomas, 25 years of age;
Richard West, 24 years; Myrel Grace, 22 years; Paul James, Jr., 17 years; May,
10 years and Lillian, 6 years. All the children are at home with the exception
of Myrel Grace who is now Mrs. Phillip Dyer of this county. Mr. Pascoe has one
of the best improved and most attractive country homes to be found in that
township. The residence has 8 rooms in addition to the bath room, closets,
pantries, etc., while the barn is 32 by 40 feet with a lean-to 16 by 40. The
other outbuildings are well built and show that Mr. Pascoe is an enterprising
farmer. The home place is surrounded by fine shade trees and a small orchard
adds to the general appearance. Mr. Pascoe has been a member of the school board
for a number of years and always takes a great interest in affairs that concern
the welfare of the community in which he lives. The Pascoe family is one of
those whose members have had so much to do with the development of the county
and the subject of this sketch can recall the times when the buffaloes were
disputing the territory that is now Barton County. He is familiar with the early
day history which he had no small part in making. The home place was located by
his father in 1873 and is located on the north side of Walnut creek.
