John H. Doane, of the firm of Brannum & Doane, grain dealers, is a native of 
Penobscot, County, Maine, and was born April 21, 1835. He resided on a farm in 
the county of his birth until reaching manhood, and there received a good common 
school education. When about twenty-one years of age he went to Hennepin 
County, Minnesota, and engaged in the lumber business at Minneapolis, at which 
point he remained for four years. Returning east, for eighteen months he resided 
in Boston, Massachusetts. In September, 1869, he came to Henry County, Missouri, 
and for one year was occupied in the handling of lightning rods. After this time 
he resumed farming and successfully followed it till the fall of 1879, when he 
embarked in the grain business, which he has continued more or less since. In the 
fall of 1882 the firm of Brannum & Doane built the elevator where they now do 
such an enterprising business. Mr. Doane has a fine farm in this county of 160 
acres, well improved. He was married in June, 1858, to Miss Sarah A. Turner, a 
native also of Maine. They have two children: Charles H. and Lola. He was once 
alderman of Clinton, and also for one term township assessor.
