George Raymond, farmer, section 13. The subject of this sketch originally from 
New York, was born March 27, 1832. His father, Jacob W. Raymond, was a native 
of Massachusetts, and was born in 1802. He was reared in Vermont, and was 
there married to Miss Mary Powers, who was born in that state. They moved to 
New York in 1831, and in the fall of 1842, came to Benton County, Missouri. The 
father died in Hickory County, Missouri, in 1864. George was brought up and 
educated in Benton County, and spent his youthful days in farming. He remained a 
resident of that county till February, 1868, when he came to Henry County, 
settling on a part of the farm he now owns. Upon arriving here he had 
comparatively nothing, but by his energy, perseverance and close attention to 
business, he has risen to prominent financial standing. He now has a well 
improved farm of 170 acres, and is known as one of the most successful farmers 
in his township. Mr. Raymond was married July 26, 1854, to Miss Lydia Fuqua, a 
Kentuckian by birth. They have four children: Paschal W., Mary M., John W. and 
Horace R. Mr. R. is a member of the board of school directors of his district.
