JACOB M. STOUT

(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 7, Post-office, Breckinridge).

Mr. Stout is very properly classed among the substantial, representative citizens of Mooresville township. Now just in the prime of life he has become possessed of a desirable competence, the result entirely of his own determination and will, and on his place of 160 acres he has a, magnificent stone dwelling, an ornament to the community. Born June 29, 1831, in New Jersey, he was the son of Jacob and Margaret (McIlroy) Stout, also natives of the same State, the father being an agriculturist by occupation. He died in New Jersey in 1878, the mother having preceded him to the grave in 1873. Six children were in their family, and the names of those besides Jacob were William, a wheelwright in New Jersey; Theodore, a moulder by trade, and James, a blacksmith, still in that State, as is Charles, who is engaged in farming and building; John accompanied his brother, Jacob, to Missouri, but on account of failing health was compelled to return to New Jersey, where he died in August, 1878. Jacob Stout, the subject of this sketch, was born on a farm and very naturally grew up to a farm experience, though when 14 years old he commenced to learn the trade of an iron moulder at Oxford, his native State. In 1869 he removed to Missouri, purchased an estate embracing 100 acres and for over 16 years has been identified with the agricultural interests of this county. His ideas in regard to the proper conduct of a farm have been warmly complimented and copied and since his location here he has made an extensive acquaintance. In 1857 Mr. Stout was married to Miss Lydia A. Goodison, of New Jersey, though her family now reside in Michigan, where her father, William Goodison, died in 1879. The following family of children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Stout: Castella, who married in January, 1885, Henry Colvin, of Caldwell county; Elmer is a commercial traveler for Burns & Co., of St. Joseph, and Irving and Harry assist in the duties about the home place. Mr. S. belongs to both the I. O. O. F. and A. F. and A. M. fraternities; his wife is a consistent member of the Christian Church.
