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

J. P. Bagby, deputy sheriff under Sheriff Ehlers, of Franklin County,
is the son of William T. and Frances (Snoddy) Bagby, both of whom were
born in Buckingham County, Va.  From that State the parents removed to
St. Charles County, Mo., and in 1844 came to Franklin County.  They
next removed to Johnson County, Mo., and returned to Franklin County
in 1864, where the following year the father died.  The mother now re-
sides on a farm in Lyon Township, Franklin County.  Our subject was
born in Johnson County, Mo., June 19, 1861, and was reared on the farm.
He succeeded in obtaining a fair education in the public schools of
Franklin County, and in 1881 taught school in that county.  He contin-
ued that occupation during 1882 and 1883, and two years later removed
to Union, and the same year entered the county assessor's office, 
where he continued as deputy until the summer of 1886, when he served 
as deputy in the circuit clerk's office for several months.  Upon the
election of Sheriff Ehlers he was appointed chief deputy, a position
he holds at the present, making a faithful and efficient officer.
