Almost Immediately after the gen.
eral entered the world his parents
moved into the town of Laclede.
When they came no houses were
vacant and they lived with the
father of Henry c. Lomax, who
was at one time employed as
clerk in a general store which Mr.
Pefshing opened and who is now
Laclede's leading banker. Mr..
Lomax knew the Pershing family
intimately, and tells many an inter
esting story of them and of John.
But his stories belong to another.

This though, should be stated in
telling of the generals advent in
the world. Mr.. and Mrs. Pershing
lived in the Lomax house with their
first born only few months. Then
they moved to a house in State
street, quite distance from the

"That is why people say John was

souri, boy destined to become world
famous.
The world stands in continued
wonder at General Persnlng.
If the world stopped to trace his
life from the time of his birth there
would be no need to wonder.
In Times of Tom Sawyer.
His boyhood, it is true, was sim
pie. But it was the boyhood of the
American boy who became leader,
first Of boys, then of men, and who
makes history. 1t was boyhood such
as Lincoln led. AT the same time it
was the boyhood Mark Twain had
Tom Sawyer live. It was the boy
hood of virile, full-blooded, clean
American, born of verile, full-blood-
ed. clean American stock.
The first year and a half of his
life, until after the birth of his
brother, Jim, he spent in the Ballou
house. He passed through the same
babyhood that other children, born
in the circumstances that were his
in those times passed through. From
the moment he entered the world he
was a healthy baby. He grew stur-
dier and sturdier as the days and
months went by, watched over by
mother, none more tender than
whom ever lived.
Pershing Senior a Sutler.
Soon after the Pershings moved
into Laclede, in 81, came the civil
war. Mr.. Pershing became sutler
for the 18th regiment of Missouri.
In '62 and '63 he was sutler for an
other regiment.
The union soldiers received $13
month and they were allowed to is
sue orders for tobacco, canned goods
and such things as they desired on
the sutler. Mr.. Pershing followed
the regiments, while his wife re-
manned at home, bringing up her
firstborn and the new baby, Jim,
born in February, 1862.
The Original Pershing Home.
Mr.. Pershing came home in 1868
and opened a store. Then, with his
family, he moved into a house at
State and Worlow streets. 1t was
one Of the best houses in Laclede.
