THE FIRST DAYS OF KIDDER
Caldwell Co Missouri

Narrator: Miss Nannie Beaumont of Kidder, Missouri

Robert Ogden, father of the narrator, lived in Ontario County, N.Y.   He  decided to make a western trip in 1871 to prospect. He went to  Illinois and Michigan where he had relatives and then to Hamilton,  Missouri, where  his relatives Dr. Robert Brown and Mrs. George Barlow lived.  He was delighted as he watched Brown plough all day long  and not hit a stone (plenty
of  stones in N.Y.) and here was plenty of grass for cattle on the open prairie.  He straightway hunted up a town house for sale. He bought the property  of  R.B. Houston, banker, for $3,000.00. There were six lots and a two story  house. This stayed Ogden property till December 1910 when Miss Ogden sold  it.

The Parr and Whitman homes now stand on the land. This half  block was  originally part of the A.G. Davis holdings.  She says that  he once had a great pile of rocks there intending to build a store; and  in 1867 when the agitation  arose to move the courthouse from  Kingston to Hamilton a foundation for  the courthouse was actually built there. She recalls that when her father built an addition to his  home, he used the rocks of the so-called courthouse foundation.
