Notes for John B. Davis: While a mere lad, John went with his parents to Morgan County, Indiana, and there grew to manhood. At that place on September 10, 1840, he was married to Sarah Ferree. To this union were born nine children. He came to Keokuk County, Iowa, in 1847, and during his earlier life worked at the cooper's trade and carpentering. He built the old seminary which was destroyed by fire in 1866. In the early 1850's he engaged in the mercantile business and also extensively in buying stock. In those days the nearest shipping points were Keokuk and Burlington. At one time, Uncle John, as he came to be familiarly known, drove a herd of 1800 head of hogs to Keokuk. He followed this business until the year 1868. In 1869 he opened a grocery store and conducted that business until 1893, when he retired from active business. Uncle John Davis was probably as widely known as any man in Keokuk county. And he was known for his honesty and integrity. His dealings covered a wide scope of country and in this way he became acquainted with the people far and near. Even to within a short time before his death, he showed a wonderful vitality for his age. Funeral services were conducted at his late residence in Richland on Thursday, October 2, under the auspices of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Notes for Stephen Wayman: Stephen Wayman was born in Ohio in 1843. His family moved to Iowa while he was a small boy. His mother died in Iowa and his father remarried. Stephen left home at age 18 and found work with the Pony Express Company, carrying cargoes from St. Joseph, MO to Denver, CO. During this time the Civil War broke out and he enlisted. He was with Co. D, 13th Iowa Infantry. This company was captured by the Rebels and put in Andersonville Prison where he remained for seven months. They lived most of the time on a half cup of corn meal, ground cob and all, with a cup of water to wash it down. No water to wash in, no clothes to change in, only as they took them off the dead soldiers. He related many times how some of the soldiers prayed that somehow, some way they might have water. A spring of water broke out in the prison in answer to their prayers. Later this was called the Well of Providence. After seven months, he escaped, hiding in the daytime and traveling at night. His physical condition was terrible. When he regained his health, he and two brothers, Solomon and Henry, came to Mercer Co., MO and settled on farms. On August 23, 1868, he was united in marriage to Mary Ann Overton. To this union eleven children were born,, six boys and five girls. The family lived on an 80-acre farm three miles north of Princeton. The children were all born in a log house. Later a frame house was built of native timber. When the family out-grew the farm and home, the 80 acres was sold. They heard that land was cheap in Arkansas, so the trip was made there in 3 covered wagons by way of eastern Kansas and what was then Indian Territory, Oklahoma; then into Arkansas by Fort Smith. They learned that a former Mercer County man lived at Chester, Arkansas, on a high mountain. They drove there over a very rough road. The land was very rocky, but soil beneath the rocks was excellent, they grew the finest flavored apples. They were there about 3 weeks when they chartered a car, loaded teams and wagons and shipped to Richland, Iowa. Two of the boys went with the car to look after the horses, the rest went by train. There were several relatives in Richland, so they stayed until their belongings arrived by freight and then rented a house. They lived there until the latter part of February, 1902, when they moved back to Mercer County. They purchased a farm of 196 acres at $35.00/acre. The house was a large home that had been built by a doctor and was the first time they had plenty of room for the family. Stephen Wayman's Civil War record: Co. D, 13th IA Infantry.

Notes for Henry R. Wayman: In 1870 census, Mercer Co., MO - Morgan Twp., household 205/201. Brother, Solomon was with them. Henry was living in Princeton, Mercer Co., MO, in 1925. Henry was owner and proprietor of Grand River Nursery and Fruit Farm, situated three miles north of Princeton, and Edinburgh Nursery, located at Edinburg, Grundy Co., Mo., four miles west of Trenton. He received a common-school education and began business for himself at the age of fifteen years by hiring to work on a farm at $12 per month. In the spring of 1867 he worked his passage across the plains to the "Rockies" on an ox-train, by driving one of the teams and walking all the way. He spent two years in Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico, teaming and mining. In 1869 he returned to Mercer County, and began work in his nursery, which he and his brother, S.M., established in 1868. The firm was known as Wayman Bros. In 1883 he bought a farm in Grundy County near Edinburgh, and established a nursery there. About 60,000 trees are kept growing in this nursery to supply the trade. In April, 1886, he bought his brother's interest in both land and nursery stock, and up to this date has been the sole owner and proprietor. He has been very successful in his enterprise, and is well acquainted with the best methods of fruit growing and tree planting. The Grand River Nursery and Fruit Farm contains 346 acres. The nursery is the only one in the county. The stock in both nurseries comprises about 150,000 apple trees, from one to four years old; 1,500 pear trees, 1,000 peach trees, 500 cherry trees, 1,000 grape vines, 400 plum trees and a porportianate amount of general nursery stock. The first car load of apples that ever left the county was shipped by S.M. Wayman in 1885. In 1883 $1,000 worth of apples were sold from eight acres of orchard. In 1887 3,000 bushels of apples were shipped from these orchards. Mr. & Mrs. Wayman are Seventh-day Baptists and in politics he is an Independent. The Wayman School was located 2-1/2 miles north and 1/2 mile east of Princeton in section 9, township 65, range 65. The earliest record, April 6, 1880, lists Caleb Goins, H.R. Wayman and Thad George as directors. S.M. Wayman served as schoolteacher in 1881 and on the board in 1884. On December 12, 1882, the schoolhouse burned and a new structure was built for $500. In 1884 it was voted to open the schoolhouse for religious worship and literary society meetings. In 1933 the building again burned and was rebuilt. For some reason, about 1940, it was decided that it was best for all of the light to come into schoolhouses from the west. At this time the windows on the east were boarded up and more windows were put in on the west; this made a total of seven windows on the west side. The Wayman School consolidated with Princeton soon after 1945 and the building was sold. It was razed in the summer of 1997. |
