John Ream, now deceased, was a prominent farmer and stockman of Fields Creek 
township. He was a native of Ohio, born in Richland County, October 17, 1839, a 
son of Henry Ream, a native of Pennsylvania, who came to Grundy County, 
Missouri, in 1853, and here spent the remainder of his life. John Ream received 
his education in the public schools of Ohio and Missouri. In 1910 he came to Henry 
County and purchased a farm of one hundred fifty-four acres, about three miles 
north of Clinton in Fields Creek township. Here he was engaged in farming and 
stock raising until the time of his death. He was a good citizen and held in the 
highest esteem by all who knew him, and his death was not only a loss to his 
family but to Henry County. Mr. Ream died May 10, 1917. John Ream was united in 
marriage June 29, 1886, with Miss Eleanor Rhea, a daughter of Archibald and 
Sarah (Sterrett) Rhea, both now deceased. John and Eleanor (Rhea) Ream, were the 
parents of the following children: Ethel, died at the age of two years; Robert Rhea 
was born in Grundy County in 1889 and resides on the home place with his 
mother; John S. was born in 1896, educated in the public schools of Hickory 
County and enlisted in United States Navy at St. Louis, December 27, 1917, and 
while at the Great Lakes Training Station on Lake Michigan, contracted pneumonia 
and died April 21, 1918, his remains being interred in the Rural Dale Cemetery at 
Clinton, Missouri [ed. note: the location of this cemetery is not correct, probably 
in Trenton, Missouri]. John Ream was first married to Miss Elizabeth Casteel of 
Trenton, Missouri, who died December 23, 1884, leaving the following children: 
Mrs. Anna Smith, Lamar, Colorado; J. M. Trenton, Missouri; B. T., Trenton, Missouri; 
Lafayette, deceased; Mrs. Nettie Ramage, deceased, and Mrs. Katurah Ramage, 
resides east of Clinton, Missouri. Mrs. Eleanor (Rhea) Ream is a descendant of a 
Virginia and Missouri pioneer family. Her father, Archibald Rhea died in 1863 
when Mrs. Ream was about one year old, and his remains are buried in the Pickett 
Cemetery in Mercer County, Missouri. Her mother died in 1896 and is buried in 
Trenton, Missouri. Mrs. Ream is one of four children born to her parents, as 
follow: Margaret, deceased; Abriska Stewart, deceased; Samuel, Adairsville, 
Kentucky; and Eleanor, who married John Ream, the subject of this sketch. Robert 
Rhea Ream, son of John and Eleanor (Rhea) Ream, was reared and educated in 
Grundy and Hickory counties, Missouri, and in 1910, came to Henry County, and 
since that time has been engaged in farming and stock-raising on the home place. 
He was united in marriage in 1910 with Miss Addie M. Pierce, a daughter of 
Charles and Minnie B. Loomis Pierce, who settled in Hickory County, Missouri, 
several years ago, coming from Iowa. Mrs. Ream was the only child born to her 
parents, who now reside in Hickory County. To Mr. and Mrs. Ream have been born 
three children, Lois Louise, Francis Marion and Robert Pierce. Mr. Ream is one of 
the progressive young men of Henry County and the Ream family are well and 
favorably known in this section.
