**********************************************************************

CAPT. E. W. DAWSON, Farmer and stockraiser, P.O. Warrensburg. He was born
in Lincoln County, Kentucky, Aug. 11, 1819. His father, Elijah Dawson, was
a native of Virginia, having emigrated to Kentucky at a very early day.
His mother was a native of Kentucky, and was a woman of remarkable
ability. Her maiden name was Sallie Logan. In 1845, Mr. Dawson came to
Missouri, and in 1846, returned and married Martha J. Bosley, daughter of
a prominent farmer.  With his young bride he came to Missouri and settled
in the beautiful valley about five miles east of Warrensburg. He now owns
several farms, which he conducts with intelligence and success. The family
consists of four children: Kittie A., J. T., John W., and Susie K. Capt.
Dawson delights in the chase, and now as well as in former days, the
pursuit of wild game with dog and gun frequently claims his atention. His
hospitality and kind treatment of strangers is proverbial.
