natives of Virginia. The former moved to Illinois in 1841, and located in Greene 
County, where he entered and improved a farm. John passed his youth in that 
county on a farm, and in attending the common schools, where he received a fair 
education in the common English branches. He was married March 18, 1868, to 
Miss Isabella Long, a daughter of Edward and Priscilla Long, and a native of 
Greene County, she having been reared and educated there. After this event Mr. 
Gano lived for two years in Greene County, and in the spring of 1870 he came to 
Missouri and located in Henry County, near Brownington, where he bought land 
upon which he resided eleven years. Selling that property he, in March, 1882, 
purchased the farm which he now occupies, consisting of 455 acres with nearly 
400 acres under fence. Mr. Gano is an industrious and thorough farmer and a man 
of good business qualifications. He makes a specialty of feeding and handling 
stock and is now feeding fifty-five head of steers and 100 hogs. He gives 
considerable attention to corn raising, the past season having 270 acres, which 
yielded on an average forty bushels to the acre.
