Occupation: Farmer MO d/c 18886 ANDREW J. FLETCHER (Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Shelbyville). This stirring and energetic farmer, like many of the better citizens of Salt River township, is a native of the Old Dominion, and was born in Frederick county on the 29th day of January, 1829. His father was Moses Fletcher, and his mother a Miss Lacy Gray before her marriage, both of old Virginia families. At the age of 20 in 1849, he came to Missouri and settled in Marion county, and worked for Major Henderson for about four years. By this time they bought the mill property known as the Bay mills, and followed milling there and farming until 1864, when, having married in the meantime, he went to Montana and mined out there for about three years. Returning to Missouri in 1867, he located near Barkley's Station, in Marion county, and followed farming there for two years, when he removed to Shelby county, where he subsequently bought a farm. He was engaged in farming in this county until 1877, at which time he took charge of the county poor farm, which he conducted with success for six years. He then returned to his farm where he has since resided. He has a good place of 116 acres, where he is engaged in farming in a general way and in raising cattle and hogs. He has good graded stock and his Poland-China hogs are of a superior quality. He also makes a specialty of raising grass and corn in which he has good success. In 1855 Mr. Fletcher was married to Miss Ruth M. Welton, a daughter of Manly and Marine Welton, of Canada. Mr. and Mrs. F. have three children: Annetta, Gustavus A. and Arlington W. They have lost two, both in infancy. Annetta is the wife of Theodore Bethards, farmer of this county. Mr. and Mrs. F. are members of the Christian Church, and he is a member of the I. O. O. F.
