McPike, Aaron, farmer, banker and man of affairs, was born in Henry County, Kentucky, March 16, 1814. His father was Edward McPike, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. His mother was Sallie Van Cleave, a descendant of one of the pioneer families of Kentucky. She, with two of her brothers, removed in an early day to Washington County, Indiana. Probably no man in northeast Missouri has done more, or even as much, toward the development and upbuilding of that section of Missouri as Aaron McPike. He began life absolutely at the foot of fortune's ladder, being left an orphan at the age of fifteen years, the sole support of three sisters. For many subsequent years it required more than one-third of his earnings for their support until they reached an age and stage where they became self-supporting. He immigrated to Missouri from Kentucky in 1838, settling first in Marion County, about seven miles. from Palmyra. Here he resided until 1843, when he moved to Pike County and became an overseer on the large farm or plantation of his cousin, Mrs. Alcy McPike. This plantation was located near Ashley, and its conduct required the employment of a large number of hands. He remained in this employ two years, when he married Miss Susan Pritchett, daughter of Abraham Pritchett, of Pike County. After his marriage he returned to Marion County, where he engaged in farming for two years, when he sold out his possessions in Marion County, and, returning to Pike County, purchased a small. farm near Ashley. He soon, however, became dissatisfied with this small estate, so selling it, he became the purchaser of a larger farm, eight miles south of Bowling. Green, where he continued to reside during the six years following. This farm consisted of 800 acres of land, which at the time of his purchase was unimproved. Within five years he 'had it in a splendid state of improvement, and when he sold the farm it was at sufficient profit to enable him, with the funds thus obtained and other moneys he had been able to accumulate, to put .$10,000 at interest, and with the remainder of his capital he purchased 800 acres of prairie land about one mile south of Curryville. This $1000.00 which Mr. McPike loaned proved to be the nucleus of the great fortune which in later years he acquired. From that 'date to the present time he has never had a less amount of money than the original investment earning interest for him, and a large portion of the time more than ten times that amount. He improved the farm which he had purchased near Curryville, and two years later sold it at considerable profit, and bought a well improved tract of 800 acres located about four and a half miles south­east of Curryville. This was in about 1858, and he resided on this farm until 1864, during which time he was extensively engaged in the mule business, and sold and furnished to the government many thousands of mules, shipping them by water to St. Louis or driv­ing them overland. At one time during this period he advanced for the government $50,000, for which he had sold it mules, taking simply the certificates of purchase therefor, and which were afterward promptly redeemed. He continued to handle mules as long as he was activity engaged in farm­ing business, and a large percentage of his money was made in this way. In 1864 he sold this. farm and purchased another, four miles south of Bowling Green, on which he resided only from the spring until the following fall, when he sold it at a handsome profit, and purchased what was known as the "Crow farm," a tract of 800 acres, lying about one-half mile south of Curryville. After a residence here of three years, he sold one-half of this 800 acres to Mr. William K. Biggs for as much money as he had paid for the entire farm. On the remaining half he built a large dwelling, together with extensive feed barns and other necessary structures and improvements, purchased some adjoining land, and made this his residence until 1874. In the summer of 1868, however, he laid out the town of Curryville, which is now a pros­perous village. He also built a fine school house there. In 1874 he gave the Curryville farm, then consisting of 800 acres, to his oldest son, J. E. McPike, and took up his residence at Vandalia, in Audrain County, which town he had laid out in 1870, and which by this time was becoming a prosperous and thriving village. When the Louisiana & Missouri River Railroad Company was formed Mr. McPike, being a stockholder and active promoter of same, was elected a director, and gave much of his time and more money than any other one man to the carrying forward and completion of this enterprise. In recognition of his activity and interest in this direction, the directory of the road voted him the privilege of locating two town sites on the line between Louisiana and Mexico, Missouri, and thus had come about the locating and building of the two towns of Curryville and Vandalia. Previous to the location of Vandalia, Mr. McPike had purchased a large tract of land surrounding what he afterwards made the site of the town. After his removal to Vandalia he gave his active and almost undivided attention to the building up of the town and the improvement of the farm lands surrounding it, most of which belonged to him. He built many residences and store houses in the town, and a number of residences, with the necessary outbuildings and improvements, on farms adjacent. These lands, at the time of their, purchase by Mr. McPike, were wild prairie lands, but after a few years' cultivation in cereals he began testing their worth for bluegrass, timothy and clover, and the fact was soon developed that they were equally good for the production of all kinds of grasses as were the timbered lands which he had formerly owned and improved. He has always taken a great pride in the growth and building up of the town of Vandalia. It was his pet enterprise, and he always called it the "Queen of the Prairie." It is to his energy, enterprise and unstinted expenditure of money in beautifying, developing and improving that the town owes its rapid growth and almost unexampled prosperity. No resident of Vandalia enjoys, perhaps, to an equal extent, certainly to any fuller extent, the confidence, esteem and good will of all Vandalians than "Uncle Aaron McPike," as he is familiarly and fondly called by his numerous friends. Mr. McPike has reared to adult age six children, all of whom are married, except one son, who at the present time (1900) is twenty years of age. Their names are James E. McPike, Sallie A. Chamberlain, Mrs. C. G. Daniel, Thomas J. McPike, Mrs. Dr. R. L. Alford and Charles Harden McPike. To each of these children he has given in lands and money $40,000. He has seventeen grandchildren, to each of whom he gave, in 1898, $1,000. He sent his check to the Orphans' Home in St. Louis for $1,000. In 1880 when the Baptists were building their new brick house of worship in Vandalia he gave $1,000, and to Stephens Female College and Hardin College each considerable amounts. To the Louisiana Baptist Female College he gave from $2,500 to $3,000. Notwithstanding these large gifts to his children, the bequests above mentioned and others not herein enumerated, he is yet the owner of a large number of the best business houses in Vandalia, and takes the most lively interest in the growth and devel­opment of the city which he had the honor to found and to name. Since 1860 Mr. McPike has been a director in one or more of the banks in Pike or Audrain Counties, and is now the president of the Vandalia Banking Association at Vandalia, Missouri, and one of its directors. While in the natural order of things he is not as active at the age of eighty-seven as formerly, yet he still looks after, in person, many of his business affairs, and not only superintends, but also attends to the details thereof. The career of Mr. McPike, as will be seen at a glance, is that of a most remarkable man. Starting in life handicapped by the burdens he had to bear in the support of others even more helpless than himself, when at the age of fifteen this condition confronted him, he has step by step pushed forward with never a serious re­verse, never a turning backward of fortune's wheel, until he has accomplished more than usually falls to the lot of one human being to achieve this along lines which will for all time redound to the use and benefit and betterment of the people among whom his life has been passed, and which has added, in a wonderful degree, to the permanent wealth and prosperity of the land in which he lives.

Aaron McPike, Amos Ladd, John Jouett Haden and Harmon Caldwell, came our way. Aaron McPike Vandalias City Founder and Community Leader He was of Irish descent, born in Henry County, Kentucky, March 16, 1814. His father was Edward McPike, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. His mother was Sallie Van Cleave, a descendant of one of the pioneer families of Kentucky. In the early 1800s, Edward, Sallie and their 12 children removed to Washington County, Indiana. Yet shortly after, disaster struck. Both parents died from milk poisoning in 1839, caused by a milk cow eating poisonous roots. He began his life absolutely at the foot of fortunes ladder, being left an orphan at the age of 15 years, the sole support for three of his sisters, Elizabeth, Ann and Rachel. For many subsequent years it required more than one-third of his earnings for their support until they reached an age where they became self-supporting.

This farm consisted of 800 acres of unimproved land. Within five years he had it in a splendid state of improvement, and when he sold the farm it was at sufficient profit to enable him, along with moneys he had been able to accumulate, to put $10,000 on interest and with the remainder of his capital he purchased 800 acres of prairie land about one mile south of Curryville. This $10,000, which Mr. McPike placed in the bank, proved to be the nucleus of the great fortune that in later years he acquired. From that date to the end of his life he never had less than his original $10,000 investment and a large portion of the time more than ten times that amount. He improved the farm, which he had purchased near Curryville, and two years later sold it at considerable profit and bought a well improved tract of 800 acres located about four-and-a-half miles southeast of Curryville. This was in about 1858, and he resided on this farm until 1864, during which time he was extensively engaged in the mule business and sold and furnished to the government many thousands of mules, shipping them by water to St. Louis, by rail, or driving them overland.

structures and improvements, purchased some adjoining land, and made this his residence until 1874. In the summer of 1868, he and Perry Curry laid out the town of Curryville. He also built a fine schoolhouse there. In 1874 he gave the Curryville farm, then consisting of 800 acres, and his mule business to his eldest son, J. E. McPike. He then moved to Vandalia in Audrain County, the town he, along with Amos Ladd, Harmon Caldwell and J. J. Haden, had laid out in 1870, by this time a prosperous thriving village. When the Louisiana & Missouri Railroad Company was formed, Mr. McPike, being a stockholder and active promoter, was elected a director and gave much of his time and more money than any other man to the carrying forward and completion of this enterprise. In recognition of his activity and interest in the railroad, the executives of the road voted him the privilege of locating two town sites on the line between Louisiana and Mexico, Missouri, and thus the beginnings of Curryville and Vandalia.

To each of these children he gave in lands and money $40,000 during his lifetime. At the time of his death he had 17 grandchildren, to each of whom he also gave $1,000.

Since 1860 Mr. McPike was a director in one or more of the banks in Pike and Audrain counties, and was president of the Vandalia Banking Association at Vandalia, Missouri, and one of its directors. While he was not as active as he reached his late 80s, he still looked after, in person, many of his business affairs that he attended to in detail. The life experiences of Mr. McPike are that of a remarkable man. He started life handicapped, with no formal education, coupled by the burdens he had to bear in the support of others even more helpless than himself. At the age of 15 this condition confronted him, and he pushed forward step by step with never a serious reverse, never turning back from fortunes wheel, until he had accomplished more than what usually befalls one human being to achieve. The betterment of the people among whom his life passed added in a wonderful degree to the permanent wealth and prosperity of the Vandalia area. Aaron McPike died in 1904 at the age of 90 years old and was buried in a family gated plot near the center of the Vandalia Cemetery. Records show he was married four times. His first wife was Susan Pritchett (1828-1862) from Pike County. They were married on January 25, 1845, and had six children: Sarah Ann Sallie (McPike) Chamberlain, born 1847; Mary L. McPike, born 1850 and died before 1860; James Edward Jim McPike, born 1853 and died 1937; William F. McPike, born 1855 and died in infancy; Thomas Jefferson Tom McPike, born 1857 and died 1936; and Fannie D. (McPike) Daniel, born 1859 and died 1951. Mr. McPike married for the second time on December 2, 1862, to Lucretia Porter (1814-unknown). No children were born of this marriage. Miss Ellen Ferguson (1830-1889), a native of Virginia, was Aarons third wife, whom he married December 5, 1875. There were three children from this union: an unnamed infant, born 1876; Susan Eleanor Susie (McPike) Alford, born 1878 and died 1946; and Charles Hardin, born 1880 and died 1911. Mollie Carrico, a local millinery shop owner, and Aaron were married later in life.
