residence: Windsor

John Baker Brame was born in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, September 6, 1840. 
His father, John Brame, was born in the same place and has lived there since. He 
married Miss Elizabeth Smith of that county, who died in 1874. The subject of 
this sketch educated himself especially for a profession. In the winter of 1860 
he attended the dental college at Baltimore, Maryland, remaining there until the 
spring of 1861. The war cloud broke, studies were at an end, and he entered the 
Confederate army in May, joining the Third Virginia Cavalry under Colonel Owens, 
of Virginia. He served in the army of the Potomac and participated in all the 
memorable battles fought by General Lee, gaining distinction as a brave soldier. 
He went home on a furlough to get horses one week before Lee's surrender, so 
that the war closed while he was at home. He again took to his dental studies, 
and in September, 1865, he emigrated to Missouri, and settled in Windsor, where 
he opened a dental office in the town and for many years was the only one. His 
excellent training while at the college, together with his experience fitted him 
admirably for the duties of his profession. He commenced without means and 
with but a few dental tools, but, endeavoring to do the best he could, soon had the 
satisfaction of knowing that his work was appreciated, and he is now established 
in a very prosperous business. He married Miss Rettie F. Taylor, November 24, 
1867. She was the daughter of Richard F. Taylor, of Windsor, and Ann (Fitz Hugh) 
Taylor, a Kentuckian by birth. They have two children : Frank Lee, aged fourteen, 
and Paul Hampton, aged four years. The doctor is a Democrat in his political 
views. He joined the Baptist Church when he was thirteen years old, and in 1867 
preferring the Christian Church, he became connected with it, and is one of its 
zealous, devoted members. He belongs to the order of the A. O. U. W. and the 
Farmers and Mechanics Insurance Association. He is one of the aldermen of the 
city government.
