    J. H. H. Kincaid, stock-raiser, trader and farmer, was born
in Greenbrier County, W. Va., September 6, 1830, and, when twelve
years of age, was left an orphan.  Since that time he has made 
his own way in the world.  He remained in his native county until
1852, when he went to Cedar County, Iowa, and there, in 1853, was
united in marriage to Miss Lydia A. Hanna, a native of the same
county of Mr. Kincaid.  In 1856 he and his wife moved to Livingston
County, Mo., entered a prairie farm, and there remained till 1884,
when they moved to Polk County.  He is the owner of 222 acres of
land one and a fourth miles west of Bolivar, and has one of the 
best improved farms in the community.  When residing in Livingston
County he served a long time as justice of the peace, and during
the war he served in the militia, being commissioned twice as
second lieutenant and once as captain.  He is a Republican in
politics, and a member of the Masonic fraternity.  Mr. Kincaid is
a successful trader and farmer, and has made what he has by hard
work and good business foresight.  His educational advantages were
very limited, not attending school but a short time after the
death of his parents.  To his marriage were born eight children,
five of whom are living; Ezbon, Gilvin B., Clark H., Orto T. 
and Annie.  His parents, John D. and Mary (Hyde) Kincaid, were
natives of Greenbrier County, W. Va., and he of Scotch, and she
of English-Irish descent.
