John Tubbesing - The rich farming lands of Henry County have been attractive to 
farmers of other counties and we find many men from other places coming here 
and purchasing this land for their homes. One of those who has made Henry County 
his home is John D. Tubbesing, a prominent farmer and stockman, who was born 
May 23, 1866, in Franklin County, Missouri, a son of William F. and Anna 
Tubbesing. For a more complete record of this family, see sketch of William 
Tubbesing, which appears in this volume. John Tubbesing was reared in Franklin 
and Jefferson counties, Missouri, and in 1890 came to Henry County, where he 
rented land for one year, and afterwards returned to Jefferson County. In April, 
1891, John D. Tubbesing and Zetta Fox were married and in 1897 came to Henry 
County to set up their home. They purchased eighty acres of land in Tebo 
township, section 30, and later purchased their present farm. In the years gone 
by sons and daughters have come to bless their home as follow: Freddie and 
Edward, deceased; Lena, Herman, Lizzie, William, John and Harry at home with 
their parents. The mother of this family was born in September, 1866, in 
Jefferson County, Missouri, the daughter of John Fox, an early settler in 
Jefferson County, where he and his wife now reside. Mr. Tubbesing is a breeder of 
Shorthorn cattle and owns 292 acres of land. He is a stockholder of the Farmers 
Elevator Company of Clinton, Missouri, and one of the substantial citizens of 
Henry County. He is public spirited and enterprising and has made good.
