Lamkin, Historical Publishing Co - page: 842 residence: Windsor Twp Hubert T. Dannett - The rich and fertile state of Iowa has furnished several enterprising and successful farmers to Henry County during the past decade. Hubert T. Dannett, owner of two hundred forty-six acres of land in Windsor and Springfield townships, upon which he is carrying on regular farming and stock raising and is also breeding horses and jacks, is a welcome addition to the great body of farmer citizens who make up the population of one of the best counties in the state of Missouri. Mr. Dannett was born in Low Moor, Iowa, April 27, 1870, the son of Robert J. and Elizabeth (Bower) Dannett, natives of England and now residents of Iowa. Robert J. Dannett, the father, was born in Lincolnshire, England, May 6, 1848. He is the son of Thomas and Harriet (Berkenshaw) Dannett, the former of whom was a butcher in his native England. In 1850 the Dannetts left their ancestral county in England and came to America, becoming pioneer settlers of Clinton County, Iowa. Here they engaged in farming, and as Robert J. Dannett attained manhood, he, too, became a farmer and has lived a prosperous and contented life. Robert J. and Elizabeth Dannett were parents of seven children, of whom the subject of this sketch is the eldest. Mrs. Elizabeth Dannett was born in Lincolnshire, England, October 16, 1850. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dannett are living in Iowa. Reared near Low Moor, Iowa, Hubert T. Dannett became a farmer and eventually owned one hundred sixty acres of splendid Iowa land, which he sold in 1902, preparatory to locating in Nebraska. He purchased a farm near Whitman, Nebraska, but conditions there not being exactly to his liking, he sold out in 1904 and came to Henry County, where he has a splendid producing farm in Windsor and Springfield townships, consisting of two hundred forty-six acres. Mr. Dannett is constantly improving his place and making the surroundings more attractive and the farm more productive. On September 9, 1891, Hubert T. Dannett and Miss Eva Hazen were united in marriage. Mrs. Eva Dannett was born at Happy Hollow, Illinois, October 19, 1869, the daughter of Robert and Harriet (Farrar) Hazen, natives of Iowa. Seven children have been born of this union: Mabel, wife of L. Farmer, Calhoun, Missouri; Clifford, Nowata, Oklahoma; Ruby, wife of H. Farmer, Calhoun, Tebo township; Lyle, Nowata, Oklahoma; Edith, Elmer and Hattie, at home with their parents. Mr. Dannett is a Republican. He is a member of the Christian Church and is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Modern Woodmen of America and the Anti-Horse Thief Association. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
