Indiana. the strong man and able Representative from Missouri whose death we mourn was born. on the 22d day of August. 1827. There. amidst the great primeval forests. scarcely touched as yet by the picket lines of civilization. he first opened his eyes to the light and glory of this world. His fathers pioneer spirit. however. was not long content to remain even at this advanced outpost of emigration and enterprise. He belonged to that bold and determined class of men who have in all ages blazed the pathways of progress and broken down obstacles to the march of empire. Ten years after the birth of his robust. stalwart son. this Indiana farmer. with all beneath his roof. removed still farther west and sought another frontier home onthe Platte purchase in the gigantic State of Missouri.
