**********************************************************************

E. P. Badger, the liveryman, is a native of Connecticut, and was born
in West Leader on June 27, 1830.  At an early age, emigrated with his
parents to Quincy, Illinois, where, after a short stay, he located in
Payson, Illinois.  There E. P. was raised to manhood, and educated,
his youth being spent in tilling the soil.  His father, Joseph Badger,
while a resident of Connecticut, was a seafaring man.  In 1849, like
thousands of others, the subject of this sketch  went overland to
California, and for five years was engaged in mining, and other pur-
suits, on the Pacific Slope.  During the war, he was superintendent
of a quartermaster's department.  In 1864, he engaged in the livery
business, in St. Joseph, Missouri, which he has since followed with
considerable success, having one of the best appointed stables to be
found in the northwest.  He is a man of close observation, unassuming
in demeanor, and commands the respect of all.  In 1860, Miss Mary
Griffith became his wife.  They have six children:  Walter S., Joseph
E., Willie, Minnie, Eddie and Mazie.
