JOHN N. PYLE

 

     John N. Pyle has been one of the leading farmers and stock-raisers of Cedar County, Mo., for a number of years, his farm being situated about six miles southwest of the county seat.  He was born in Dade County, Mo., in 1853, and is a son of A. M. and Minerva J. (Wilson) Pyle, the father being a native of Christian County, and one of the leading pioneer farmers and stock-raisers of Cedar County, and one of its prominent and influential citizens.  John N. Pyle, the eldest of a family of ten children, lived with his parents until he attained his majority, when he married Miss Mollie C. Hamner, who was born in Iowa, in 1855, and engaged in farming on his own responsibility.  He is now a well-to-do farmer; a man of sound judgment, and is highly esteemed by all who know him.  He acquired a common school education in his youth, and has always been a Republican in his political views.  He and wife are members of the Christian Church, and their union has resulted in the birth of six children: Claude A., Maud M., Harry E., Bessie G., Charles E. and Willis.  Mrs. Pyle’s parents, Edward D. and Sarah J. Hamner, are residents of Greenfield, Dade County, Mo., and were born in Kentucky.  After residing in Indiana for some time they removed to Iowa, and, in 1870, came to Cedar County, Mo., locating soon after in Dade County.
