Charles H. Barron, P. O. Lexington, Missouri, was born in the state of
Georgia, in 1835.  While Charles was quite young his father, Gustavus
Barron, moved from Georgia to Carroll county, Mo., and settled in what
is known as the "sugar tree bottom," in 1847, where Charles was raised
and educated.  In 1871 he began the grocery business at Hardin, Ray
county, Mo., and continued there until 1874.  He had, previous to this,
learned the drug business in the drug store of Dr. Moseby, at Richmond,
Missouri.  Leaving Hardin he came to this county and engaged in farming
for several years.  In 1877 he quit farming and entered into the drug
business in Lexington, on a small capital, and succeeded so well that 
in 1880 he purchased property on Franklin street, and is now engaged in
both the drug and grocery business.  He was married on the 6th of June,
1871, to Miss Hattie Pritchard, and to this union have been born six
children, all living.  He belongs to the Methodist Church, South, and
his wife to the Christian church. He is also a mason.
