MIDDLETON, BRODIE, HAGUE, ALEXANDER



James A. D. MIDDLETON, lumberman and prominent citizen, and a son of

Alexander D. and Jane Smith (BRODIE) MIDDLETON, was born July 24, 1842, in

New York City.  The father of our subject was born in Scotland, about 1815,

and was a descendant of Scotch ancestors.  He was a marble-cutter by

occupation, learning this trade in New York City.  The mother of our

subject was also born in New York City about 1817.  After the death of the

father, which occurred July 26, 1849, the family went to Virginia, and soon

after to ________ County, Mo., where they remained two years.  They then

removed to St. Louis in 1851, where they remained till after the death of

the mother, which occurred in 1865.  Our subject remained at home until

nineteen years of age, and received his education principally in the free

schools of St. Louis, Mo.  On the 31st of July, 1868, he wedded Mrs.

Cordelia J. HAGUE, daughter of G. W. ALEXANDER, of Lincoln county.  They

have two interesting children:  C. Jennie and Walter P. J.  Previous to his

marriage he went  into the army with Lieut. Col. Mortimer Okean as a

hostler, and there he remained until 1865, when he landed at Tullahoma.

After staying there two years he received an appointment in the internal

revenue service, where he remained until April 30, 1884, with the exception

of about two years, 1868 and 1870, when he was postmaster at Mulberry.  May

1, 1884, Mr. MIDDLETON commenced his present occupation.  He is a

Republican in politics, and a Prohibitionist, and cast his first vote for

Abraham Lincoln.  He is an Odd Fellow, Knight of Honor, a Good Templar and

a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, as are also the two

children.  Mrs. MIDDLETON is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian

Church.
