farmer and stock-dealer, P.O. Knobnoster.  The subject of this sketch is
one of Missouri's noble sons.  He was born August 23, 1841, in this

arms for the southern cause.  He thought it was right, and enlisted in
company A, Fifth Missouri regiment; after which he was changed to
company I, Tenth Missouri cavalry.  He was in the battles of Lexington,
Pea Ridge, Wilson's Creek, Corinth, Port Gibson, and at one time he was
in the saddle for fourteen days and nights.  He owns a fine farm of 790
acres, with good, comfortable buildings, and is now one of the leading
farmers of Johnson county.  He was married, in May, 1867, to Miss Mary
M. Hocker, daughter of Larkin Hocker, and from this union there are
three children, two boys and one girl: J.F., Larkin H. and Lizzie.
