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

E. L. Schofield, editor and proprietor of the "Buffalo Reflex", was
born in Allamakee County, Iowa, on December 27, 1859, his parents
being James and Cornelia (Seely) Schofield, being natives of the
"Empire State", and early immigrants to Illinois and Iowa.  When
about seven years of age E. L. Schofield came with his parents to
Buffalo, MO., and was here reared to manhood and educated.  His
early days were spent at farm labor, but he also learned the machin-
ist's trade, but never followed it for a livelihood.  In September,
1888, he purchased the "Reflex", which paper he has since success-
fully published, it being devoted entirely to the interests of the
Republican party, and it is one of the spicy and ably edited papers
of the county, and promises to further the interests of the Repub-
lican party to a great extent.  In connection with his paper Mr.
Schofield is also engaged in studying law, and will soon become a
member of the legal fraternity of Dallas County.  He was married in
1884 to Miss May Clark, of Bolivar, MO., by whom he has one child,
James C.  He is a member of the I.O.O.F., and is a half-brother of
Gen. Schofield, of Civil War fame.
