1919 History of Henry County, Missouri, by Uel W. Lamkin (Historical Publishing 

Company), p. 416 {12094} 

“General Lafayette Park [#2D83/1], a prominent farmer and stockman of Big Creek township, is 

a native of Tennessee. He was born in Cock County April 9, 1860, a son of John A. and Catharine 

M. (Garrison) Park, natives of Tennessee. The father died April 11, 1910, and the 

mother now resides with her son. John A. Park was a Confederate veteran. He enlisted in his 

native State and served in behalf of the lost cause until the fall of Vicksburg. At the close of 

the war he went to Indiana, where he remained until 1868. He then came to Missouri, settling 

near Lees Summit, in Jackson County, where he was engaged in farming until 1889. He then 

came to Henry County and he and his son, General Lafayette, purchased a farm in Big Creek 

township, which the latter now owns. Mr. Park's farm consists of nine hundred forty acres 

and is one of the well improved and valuable farms of Henry County. Mr. Park carries on 

general farming and stock raising. He is known as an extensive stockman and raises about 

one hundred head of cattle annually. He has shipped as many as four cars of hogs in one year. 

March 10, 1888, G. L. Park was united in marriage to Miss Anna Lou Gault of Jackson 

County, Missouri., She is a daughter of James and Rebecca J. (Flanery) Gault. Mrs. Park's 

mother died in 1908, and her father is now living retired and spends much of his time with 

his children. To General Lafayette Park and wife have been born the following children: 

James, farmer and stockman in Big Creek township, who makes a specialty of breeding Percheron 

horses and mammoth jacks; Anna Belle, married Roy Albin, Big Creek township; Lafayette, 

farmer and stockman in Big Creek township, and Mabel, married Ralph Butcher, Big 

Creek township. Mr. Park is a member of the Masonic Lodge and is a director in the Farmers 

Bank of Chilhowee, Missouri. He is a progressive and enterprising citizen and always stands 

ready to co-operate with and support any enterprise for the betterment or upbuilding of his 

township and county.”

“ALVIN P. SPOTTS [#3741], lumber and hardware merchant, of the firm of Spotts & Markland, 

is the son of D. K. SPOTTS, and was born in Howard county June 5, 1857. Mr. Spotts was 

engaged in the mercantile business at Burton from 1879 to 1883. December 10, 1881, he was 

married to Miss MATTIE HARRIS, daughter of T. B. HARRIS, a wealthy farmer of near 

Burton. Mr. Spotts has four children, all boys. In January, 1883, Mr. Spotts removed to 

Armstrong, and since that time has been engaged in the lumber and hardware business at this 

place. Mr. Spotts is a rustling businessman, and the firm of Spotts & Markland commands 

the trade of a large scope of territory. Mr. Spotts has been one of Armstrong's most progressive 

and leading business men ever since he came to the town, and he is ever ready to lend a 

helping hand to all enterprises that are beneficial to the town.” 

“D. K. SPOTTS [#374], can be truly classed as one of the pioneer citizens of Prairie township. 

He was born in Augusta City, Virginia, May 9th, 1826. He removed with his parents ot Howard 

county in 1835. May 27, 1856 he was united in marriage to MARGARET A. PRATHER. 

They have four boys and three girls. His oldest son, EUGENE, is in the dry goods business at 

Des Moines, Iowa; E. R. SPOTTS is practicing law at Houston, Texas; DR. B. M. SPOTTS

is practicing medicine a Blackburn. A. P. SPOTTS is in the lumber business in this city. Mr. 

Spotts has engaged in farming all his life and still owns a farm. Along with tilling the soil, 

Mr. Spotts has made quite a success of the insurance business, and is now agent for several 

companies. Two years ago Mr. Spotts removed to Armstrog, where he now resides. He has 

been a steward in the Methodist church for many years. Mr. Spotts isa public spirited man 

and is always ready to lend a helping hand to public enterprises.” 

[Note from Betty Collier: If I "know" something I consider useful, I will add the information. The 

article by Mr. Walton said Mary A. Prather, wife of D. K. Spotts. She was Margaret, not 

Mary, so I changed the name. Daughter of James E. Walkup and Arretta Marksberry, she 

married Philip Prather (1). No children were born of this marriage. D.K. Spotts was her 

second husband. Margaret was also sister of J. J. Walkup, who's sketch also appears in this 

series.]

Randolph Co., Higbee News, 29 Sep 1916, Obituary of James E. Rucker {12288} 

“JAMES E RUCKER DEAD--James E. Rucker, long recognized as one of Randolph county's 

most progressive farmers, as well as one of its most high minded, kind hearted and charitable 

citizens, died at his home just north of town at 9 o'clock Sunday night, Sept. 24, 1916, following 

an illness of several weeks. 

Deceased was a son of Capt. Minor Rucker, a valiant soldier of the War of 1812, who moved to 

Missouri from Virginia in 1833, locating in what was then Howard, but is now Randolph 

county, entering and buying 1900 acres of land where Randolph Springs are. It was on this 

farm that James Edwin Rucker was born, Oct 3, 1839, and where he grew to manhood. 

Being of a studious turn of mind, he was given a thorough education, graduating with high honors 

from Mt. Pleasant College in 1860 under the guidance of William R. Rothwell. 

In 1863 he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah C. Smith, daughter of Joel Smith, one of the 

county's prominent farmers and capitalists. They were blessed with a family of eight children, 

all of whom, with the mother, survive, viz: J. Walker, Mrs. Wm. Higginbotham, Mrs. G. 

M. Nichols, Mrs. Wm. McGlothlin, Mrs. W. F. Spotts [#3763/1], Joel S., Mrs. W. L. Cave 

and Mrs. W. D. Burke. 

Mr. Rucker had been a citizen of Moniteau township for almost fifty years, having resided continuously 

on the farm where he died since 1874. The township nor the county never contained 

a broader minded or more tender hearted man, nor one more willing to give of his time and 

means in the aid of any worthy cause or to relieve those in distress. He united with the Baptist 

church in 1884 under the preaching of the Rev. S. Y. Pitts, and had been an active officer in 

the church since its organization in 1886. 

Funeral services were conducted at the church Tuesday afternoon by his former pastor, the Rev. 

L. M. White, assisted by Eld. E. Y. Keiter. Interment was made in the city cemetery, the Masonic 

fraternity, of which deceased had long been an honored member, having charge of the 

services. In the death of this good man the county as well as his family has suffered an irreparable 

loss, and the sympathy of all goes out to the bereft.”
