Samuel F. M. Darby
Samuel F.M. Darby, farmer and a member of the firm of Stallcup & Co. grain merchants, was born in Scott County, Mo., on September 1, 1843. He is a son of William T. and Delpha C. (Kirkpatrick) Darby, the former a native of South Carolina and the latter of Tennessee. William T. Darby immigrated to Scott County about 1838, and stopped near Price's Landing, where he remained a short time, when he entered 120 acres of land at Sandywoods. He removed to the latter place, and remained there until his death, on December 12, 1883, aged sixty-five years six months and fourteen days. His widow still resides there. They were the parents of eight children, five of whom are living: William, Casper, James A., John W. and Martha Jane. Those deceased are Nancy E., Mary L. and Margaret Ann. Samuel remained on his father's farm until he was twenty-four years of age, when he was married to America Ballard, and located six miles north of Charleston. After three years he moved to Wayne County, Mo., and remained there until December 1873, when he removed to his present home near Sikeston. Seven children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Darby: Grady C., Effie E., Charles M., Mary C. and Samuel E., living and James William and Albert King, deceased. Mr. Darby is a member of the A.O.U.W. He and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
