Joseph W. Huston, late of Windsor, Missouri, was a useful and widely known 
citizen of Henry County and was a pioneer settler of this county, accompanying 
his parents to Missouri as early as 1844. He was born in Morgan County, Illinois, 
December 8, 1839, and was the son of Robert P. and Nancy (Spencer) Huston, being 
the third born of eight children. The Huston family came to Boone County, 
Missouri, in 1844, and some time later made a permanent location in Henry 
County, in the vicinity of Windsor. Both Robert P. and Nancy Huston died in 
Windsor. In 1861 Joseph W. Huston went to Texas and enlisted in the Confederate 
Army, serving until the close of the Civil War, when he returned to his home in 
Henry County and engaged in farming. He first rented land in Johnson County and 
then purchased a farm in Tebo township, Henry County, upon which he placed 
substantial improvements. He resided on his farm for forty-five years and in 
1912 located in Windsor, where he lived in well earned retirement until his 
death, November 17, 1917. November 2, 1871, Mr. Huston was united in marriage 
with Emma E. Allen, who was born November 1, 1847, at Old Harmony Mission in 
Bates County, Missouri, the daughter of George J. and Esther (Mitchel) Allen, 
concerning whom the reader is referred to the biography of Robert W. Allen 
elsewhere in this volume. When fifteen years of age Joseph W. Huston was 
converted to the cause of Christianity under the pastorate of Rev. A. P. Linn in 
Boone County, and during the remainder of his life he was a true and consistent 
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, living a blameless and irreproachable 
life. He was a man highly esteemed for his many worthy traits and sterling 
qualities and was universally respected and admired by all who knew him. Mrs. 
Huston is a member of the Methodist Church. Residing with her at her home in 
Windsor is a sister, Miss Belle Allen.
