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

George T. Edmisson, a son of John S. and Elizabeth (Wollard) Edmisson,
is a prominent attorney and notary public of Buffalo, MO., and was 
born in Dallas County, September 11, 1849, and was reared on farms in
Jackson and Washington Townships, being educated principally in the
latter.  In August, 1877, receiving appointment to fill a vacancy as
county clerk, he gave up farm life, and began filling the duties of
his office.  He was elected to the office in 1878, which position he
filled until January 1, 1883, and during this time his spare moments
were spent in studying Blackstone, and he was admitted to the bar in
1887, being appointed notary public the same year.  He is building up
an excellent and lucrative practice, and promises to stand at the 
head of his profession at no distant day.  He enlisted in the Fifty-
sixth Missouri Infantry, United States Volunteers on April 1, 1865,
and served until peace was declared, although he was only sixteen 
years of age.  He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Blue Lodge,
Chapter and Commandery, and his wife, whom he married October 29, 
1868, is a member of the Baptist Church.  Her maiden name was Amanda
M. Stafford, and they are the parents of the following children:
Lizzie, Felix C., George I., Robert E., and Albert P.  Four children
are deceased.  Mr. Edmisson's connection with the professional and
social affairs of Buffalo has proved fortunate for the residents of
this community.  Active, painstaking and thorough in everything
attempted, he has aided very materially in advancing the interests
of the place, and his career as a representative, progressive citizen
has won for him extensive and honorable acquaintance.
