History Of Hickory, Polk, Cedar, Dade And Barton Counties, 
Missouri, 1889.  Published by Goodspeed. Pages 584, 585

J. H. Childers, attorney-at-law, of Hermitage, Mo., was born in Carroll County, Ark., 
in 1863. His father, Josiah Childers, was born in East Tennessee, in 1818, and there 
grew to manhood and married, the latter event being to Miss Anna Shelton.  He moved to 
Arkansas in 1854, and was a member of the Arkansas Legislature from Carroll County.  
In 1863 he moved to Polk County, Mo., and resided in Bolivar for about two years, when 
he removed to Hickory County, where he still resides, and is an active practicing 
physician of the county.  His wife's birth occurred in 1820, in Tennessee, and their 
union has been blessed in the birth of thirteen children.  J. H. Childers, our immediate 
subject, grew to manhood in Hickory County, Mo., and received a good common and high-
school education, after which he engaged in the occupation of school teaching.  He has 
been a decided lover of good reading from early boyhood, and during his days of 
pedagoguing gratified this taste to the fullest extent.  After reading law for some 
time in the office of F. Marion Wilson, he was admitted to the bar in 1884, and since 
that time has been actively engaged in practicing his profession, being the only 
possessor of a complete set of abstract books in the county.  He gives his attention 
almost exclusively to real estate litigation and real estate business in its various 
ramifications.  He is a Master Mason, and is secretary of his lodge.
