J. H. Baugh, a farmer, residing near Lamar, Mo., was born in St. Charles, Mo., in 1833, and has always been a resident of Missouri. His parents, James F. and Louisa (Baldridge) Baugh, were born in Kentucky and Missouri, respectively (J. F. moved to Missouri in 1829, and married in 1830), the paternal grandfather, William Baugh, being a Virginian, and the maternal grandfather, James Baldridge, a native of Ireland. William Baugh served in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. J. H. Baugh was reared to manhood on a farm in St. Charles County, Mo. At the age of twenty-two years he was married to Mary Cahall, a Virginian, and soon after moved to Warren County, Md., where he bought a farm, and lived twelve years. After one year’s residence in Vernon County, he went to Montgomery County, and bought some raw land, which he afterward greatly improved, and resided here nine years; then moved to Barton County, and located on his present farm of 120 acres, which was then also raw land, but is now a finely cultivated farm. He is a blacksmith by trade, and now has a shop on his land. To his marriage three children have been born: Heale, who is attending school at Morrisville, Mo., and will enter medical college after graduating; J. D., in Nevada, Mo.; and James F., at home. Mr. Baugh and wife are members of the Missionary Baptist Church, taking active interest in church work.
