From 'A history of the pioneer families of Missouri' by Wm. S. Bryan 1935
     BABER.--Hiram BABER married a daughter of Jesse BOONE.  He was sheriff of 
St. Charles county one term, and was a reckless, fun-loving sort of a man.  He 
built a brick residence in St. Charles, and carved over the door, in large 
letter, "Root Hog, or Die."  He moved from St. Charles to Jefferson City, and 
became one of the leading men of the State.  He made a great deal of money, and 
spent it as freely as he made it.  He would often, in braggadocio, light his 
pipe with bank bills, to show how easily he could make money and how little he 
cared for it.
