Perry Barricklow.  The milling interests of Texas County, Mo., have an
energetic representative in the person of Mr. Barricklow, who was born
in Dearborn County, Ind., October 8, 1837, and is a son of Farrington
and Patsy (Buchanan) Barricklow, grandson of Daniel, and great-grandson
of Van Dyke Barricklow, who was a native of New Jersey, and a soldier
in the Revolutionary War, being wounded at King's Mountain.  His son
Daniel was also born in New Jersey, and Farrington was born in Fayette
County, Penn., in 1804.  He was reared on a farm, and in his early days
was a medical student.  He removed with his parents to Dearborn County,
Ind., in 1816 and in 1832 was married to Miss Buchanan, who was a 
daughter of James Buchanan, of Bedford County, Va., of Scotch-Irish
parentage.  In 1856 Farrington Barricklow and his brother Henry removed
to Kansas, and laid out the town of Palmyra, now Baldwin City.  In 1861
Perry Barricklow enlisted in Company H, Thirteenth Indiana Volunteer
Infantry, under J. C. Sullivan, and served until July, 1864.  He re-
turned to Kansas, and was engaged in teaching school for a short time.
He came to Missouri in 1866, and established the Cassville Republican,
the first paper established in Barry County, and the following year 
went to Dent County, and established the Monitor, the official paper
of the county, and which is still being published by Hon. J. E. Organ.
He next went to Rolla, and managed the Express for five years, and in
1877 came to Houston as editor of the Houston Democrat, but shortly
after purchased a mill on Big Creek, which he still manages.  He was
married in 1869 to Miss Ama C. Matthews, daughter of Ransom B. Matthews
of Salem, Missouri.
