R. B. HALIGAN

Robert B. Haligan was born in Fayette county, Kentucky, March 11, 1856. His parents,
William G. and D. A. Haligan, were also natives of the state of Kentucky. They removed,
when Robert was fourteen years of age, to Ray county, Missouri, and settled upon the
same farm he now occupies. His father died in 1873, and his mother died in the year
following. Mr. Haligan was married on the 14th day of June, 1874, in this county, to
Miss Martha Farris, a native of Ray county. They have one child, Robert P. The subject
of this sketch has been engaged in farming and stock-raising in this county ever since
leaving school. He owns a third interest in his father’s homestead, a fine farm of
three hundred acres of valuable land, about two hundred acres in a fine state of
cultivation and enclosed by good substantial fences. This farm is improved by a
comfortable and conveniently arranged dwelling home, a substantial and roomy barn, and
other buildings. It is also supplied with an abundance of water for the accommodation
of stock, and has a thrifty, bearing orchard. Mr. Haligan is a rising young farmer,
and enjoys the confidence and esteem of all who know him. He is now serving as justice
of the peace, to which office he was appointed by the county court in March, 1881.
