Grover Township

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

J. T. OGLESBY,

postoffice, Knobnoster.  This enterprising citizen is one of Johnson
county's noble sons.  He was born February 26, 1840.  His father was
among the first settlers of Johnson, and he located on section 25,
Grover township, and died in 1861.  His mother, Mary H., died in 1875.
The subject of this sketch during the war was out of the county, but
when peace was declared he returned to his old home, where he has since
lived. He was married in 1869 to Miss Martha A. Brock, also a native of
Missouri.  This union has been blessed with three children: Alpha M.,
Samie E., Mary E.  The subject of this sketch has seen many changes come
and go to Johnson county.  But he has been a hard working man and a good
manager, and now as his reward he owns a fine farm of 190 acres in
Johnson county, and 160 in Pettis county.  He is now numbered among the
successful men of Johnson county.  His wife's mother, who has lived with
him for some years, was called to her place of rest on the 8th day of
October, 1881.
