Col. A. ID. Jaynes was born in
Lawrence county, Ohio, Nov. 26,
1929. His ancestors were from Vir-
ginia, and participated in many of
the important affairs of that state. His
father removed to Ohio, where he
became largely interested in
the iron business, and the youthful
Jaynes, though enjoying but limited
opportunities for an education, i'm
proved rapidly, and became an ele-
CANT penman, and expertin arithmetic
and accounts. From the age of four
teen to that of twenty-one he received
a most careful business training with
his father, and then became interested
in the mercantile business with G. d
III. Kelley. In 1853 he became con-
nected with the Vinton Iron Furnace,
Vinton county, O., and continued
with this corporation until 1864, hav-
ing an interest in the management a
considerable portion of that time. To
more efectually complete the military
organization of the state, in 1861, the
governor of Ohio requested A. D.
Jaynes to raise and equip an indie
pendent regiment, which he did, and
was commissioned colonel near the
close of the war. The regiment was
mustered into the United States ser.
vice as the 141st Regiment Ohio Vol
unteers. This was one Of the finest
regiments that did service
for the Union during the
great civil war. His regiment was
out of the service in 1864
by reason of expiration of time. His
duties were performed to the entire
of both civil and military
authorities.
After.t war closed Col. Jaynes,
to find wider field of enterprise and
operation, in company with Cyrus
came to the great undevel- Il
oped west, and settled in Sedalia,
then only a small village. These I
two gentlemen, after viewing well the
surroundings, decided that this point
was destined to become railroad :
center, and of commercial Importance, G
therefore they organized the First :
National Bank, in March, 1866, with
3 capital stock of 100000. Col.
Jaynes was cashier for the first eight
years and then president up to July :
1880. He took prominent part in
he organization of the Lexington & :
st. Louis Railway land acted as agent :.
If the county in subscribing the stock. :
BE was efficient in 1868 in building !
he Tebo Il Neosho Railroad, which =,
afterwards became the M. K. & 7.
of which he was much of
he time, general agent. In 1874,
when the road passed into the hands e e
# a receiver and general manager, ii
dr. Bond, who resided in New 4
York, appointed Col. Jaynes treas is
lrer and agent of the receiver. Prob 1 I
bly, to him, more than any other d,
'erson, the credit of forwarding this et
reat railroad enterprise is due. Col. E
