>From "The History of Johnson County, Missouri," 
Kansas City Historical Co. 1881

J.A. BOBBITT,

postmaster at Sigel, was born October 9, 1831, in Kentucky, and when
about twelve years of age his parents emigrated to Macon county,
Missouri, where they remained for a short time; then moved to Howard
county, remaining there but a short time; then came to Johnson.  The
subject of this sketch has lived in this county ever since, except one
year that he lived in Platte county.  He was married, March 19, 1854, to
Miss Nancy Ferguson.  Mr. B. is a man of continued industry, and now, as
a reward he owns a fine farm of 240 acres, all under cultivation, and a
fine residence in Sigel.  He was appointed postmaster in 1879, and has
since held the office with credit to himself and satisfaction to the
people. He is an active member of the Christian church, and is numbered
among the successful business men of Johnson county.
