ANDREW JACKSON LONGACRE: History of Vernon
County, 1887, pages 831-32 ANDREW J. LONGACRE
Farmer Section 5,
Post-office, Milo A life of honest,
steady and not unsuccessful efforts sums up in a word the active career of
the subject of this sketch - a man whose only occupation has been that of
farming. Very naturally, therefore, he is conceded to have an intimate
knowledge of this calling and to apply it in the right direction. Born in
Rowan County, Tenn., September 16, 1829, he was the son of Benjamin and
Judith (Perkins) Longacre, the former a tanner by trade and of Virginia
nativity, and the latter a native of Tennessee. Andrew J. was the youngest
of nine children in his parents' family. When seven years old be
accompanied his father to Johnson county, Mo., and there made his home for
a number of years, or until coming to this county in 1857. Here he has
since remained, closely connected with farming and kindred pursuits. His
place numbers some 200 acres of land, and while perhaps not as large as
some tracts in the county, Mr. Longacre very properly considers that labor
spent on an ordinary farm in a thorough manner will produce greater
results than the same amount of labor bestowed on one twice the size. He
has done well in his operations and the future promises encouraging
results for him. In November, 1849, Mr. Longacre was married to Miss Polly
B. Shumate, who was born in Lafayette County, Mo. She died April 9, 1864,
leaving three children who are now living: William C., Benjamin H. and
Balis A. In February, 1865, his second marriage occurred, when Miss Sarah
F. Caton, of Carroll County, Mo., became his wife. She was the daughter of
Hugh M: and Nancy Ann (Harvey) Caton, frequent mention of whom is made
elsewhere in the present volume. To Mr. and Mrs. Longacre a family of four
children have been given: Hugh L., Precious T., John J. and Emma May. Mr.
L. is a member of the M. E. Church South and also belongs to the A. F. and
A. M.

Daughter of Benjamin Isham Longacre and Nancy Tucker Longacre was born in
April 15, 1850 and died March 24, 1932. Fourscore Years in a
Community. Mrs. Martha Baker died at her home
near Kingsville Thursday afternoon after an extended period of
invalidism. The funeral was
held Saturday afternoon in the Kingsville Baptist church which was filled
with sorrowing friends. The
services were in charge of Rev. E. W. Chewning, and burial was made in
Bluff Springs cemetery. Martha Jane Longacre, daughter of
Benjamin Isham Longacre and Nancy Tucker Longacre, was born near
Kingsville April 15, 1850, and spent her life in the immediate
vicinity. She was the eldest
daughter in a family of four.
March 27, 1878 she was married to Edward Baker. To them were born three sons. All of whom survive. Roy Thomas Baker of Detroit Mich.,
whose illness prevented him from attending the funeral: Frank Granger
Baker of Kingsville: and Edward Longacre Baker of St. Louis. She is survived by three
granddaughters. One by each
son. In early life Mrs. Baker became a
member of the Kingsville Baptist church and continued as active and
faithful worker in her Masters vineyard until old age and infirmity
prevented. She loved her
church and to it gave the best of her life's efforts. Her last year of invalidism did
not dim her faith. Her many
good deeds will live long in the memory of those she served. A veritable mother in Israel has
gone to her well earned reward. -------------------
