    Daniel W. Faulkner, president of the Bank of Bolivar, was
born October 9, 1836, and is a son of Col. James and Rebecca 
(Woodard) Faulkner.  His father was born in Richmond, Va., of 
English descent, and married miss Rebecca Woodard, of Tennessee, 
settling in Polk County in 1837, about twelve miles south in 
Bolivar.  The subject of this sketch, a native of Davidson County,
Tenn., was raise on his father's farm, received his education of
the old subscription schools, and, having worked at home till 
twenty-two years of age, became an independent farmer.  September
28, 1859, he married Mary L. Corbin, a native of Kentucky, by whom
he has had five children, three of whom are living: Marcella A., 
Nathan C. and Homer D.  In 1862 Mr. Faulkner turned his attention 
to merchandising, in which business he remained about fourteen 
years, in the meantime taking contracts for railroads, his last
work in that line being the building of the road into Bolivar.  
He was four years presiding justice of Laclede County Court, 
and ex-officio probate judge, doing good work for the county in 
reducing its indebtedness. In 1885 he became president of the 
Bank of Bolivar, a position for which he is ably fitted by reason
of ability, good judgment and concise business methods, and is 
also a large land-owner.  Mr. Faulkner is a Royal Arch Mason,
a Democrat, and a member of the Christian Church, as is also his wife.
