Pond Creek Township

>From "History of Greene County, Missouri," St. Louis: Western
Historical Company, 1883.

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

His name indicates his French extraction.  His grandfather came over 
from France as one of the soldiers who helped us so gallantly in the
Revolutionary War.  After the close of that war he settled at Tucka-
hoe, New Jersey, where William, the father of W. W., was born in 1798.
William moved to Ohio, where he was married in 1829 to Elizabeth 
Dutton.  This marriage was blest with ten children, Warren Werter
Garoutte being the fifth child.  He was born in Washington County,
Ohio, July 23, 1839.  When he was eight months old his parents moved
to Greene County, Missouri, and settled in Pond Creek township, a
sparsely settled portion of the county.  His father died in 1863, and
his mother in 1869.  Mr. Garoutte was married in September, 1860, to
Miss Martha, daughter of John S. and Mary (Chastaine) Richmond.  Her
parents were natives of Tennessee, but she was born in Missouri.
Their union was blest with ten children, nine of whom are living:
William S., John L., Anthony S., Mary E., Susan R., Marcus D., George
L., Franklin L. and Lillie M.  Mrs. Garoutte died October 19, 1882.
She had been a consistent member of the church since eighteen years
of age.  Mr. Garoutte settled where he now lives in 1866.  He owns a
farm of two hundred and forty acres, besides one-third interest in
another tract of the same size.  He has always followed farming and
blacksmithing.  He is a Royal Arch Mason, and a member of the Baptist
Church since 1868.
