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

The subject of this sketch is a son of Arnton and Jemima (Brigham) Pro-
het, and was born in McMinn County, Tennessee, August 31, 1835, where
he continued to reside till 1852, when he moved with his parents to
Greene County, Missouri and settled at the head of Clear Creek.  Here
he engaged in farming till 1881, when he sold his farm and embarked in
the mercantile business at Bois D'Arc of which place he is one of the 
leading business men, as well as a highly respected citizen.  He joined
the Methodist Episcopal Church South, at twelve years of age, and has
constantly adhered to the faith since then, filling creditably the sev-
eral functions of steward, secretary, class leader, and trustee of the
church.  He was one of the original members in the organization of the
church on Clear Creek.  He was married in 1858, to Miss Nancy Barrett,
of Greene County.  She died in 1862, having had two children, one Sarah
J., still survives her.  Mr. Prophet was a second time married in 1868,
to Miss Blackwell, daughter of Sylvester and Martha Blackwell, of this
county.  Seven children have been born to this union, all of whom are
still living, and are an honor to their parents.
