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

A. S. Churchill, late editor of the People's Tribune, at Linn Creek, 
was born in Laclede county, Mo., October 15, 1866, and is the son of
C. B. and Elizabeth (Ellis) Churchill, the father a native of Kentucky
and the mother of Missouri.  He is one of six children, five now liv-
ing:  Effie, wife of Roy Avery; Armistead S.; Lena B., wife of Dr. D.
H. Kouns; Harry and John, at home.  The one deceased was named Edith,
and her death occurred in 1873.  A. S. Churchill, subject of this
sketch, remained and assisted on the farm until 1884, and received a
liberal education.  In 1884 he came to Linn Creek and clerked in the
store of his father for a short time, when he took charge of the drug
store and ran it for one year.  During the summer of 1886 he was 
engaged in farming, and in August of the same year he returned to the
store, remained one year, and then taught one term of school.  In
January, 1888, he, in partnership with E. F. Shubert, founded the
People's Tribune, and continued but a short time when Mr. Churchill
bought out his partner and continued the publication alone until Janu-
ary 1, 1889, when he leased his paper to E. F. Shubert and W. T. S.
Agee.  Mr. Churchill is now employed as clerk in the store of 
F. Hooker, and is a promising young man.
