John Ream, now deceased, was a prominent farmer and stockman of Fields Creek
township. He was a native of Ohio, born in Richland County, October 17,
1839, a
son of Henry Ream, a native of Pennsylvania, who came to Grundy County,
Missouri, in 1853, and here spent the remainder of his life. John Ream
received
his education in the public schools of Ohio and Missouri. In 1910 he came to
Henry
County and purchased a farm of one hundred fifty-four acres, about three
miles
north of Clinton in Fields Creek township. Here he was engaged in farming
and
stock raising until the time of his death. He was a good citizen and held in
the
highest esteem by all who knew him, and his death was not only a loss to his
family but to Henry County. Mr. Ream died May 10, 1917. John Ream was united
in
marriage June 29, 1886, with Miss Eleanor Rhea, a daughter of Archibald and
Sarah (Sterrett) Rhea, both now deceased. John and Eleanor (Rhea) Ream, were

mother; John S. was born in 1896, educated in the public schools of Hickory
County and enlisted in United States Navy at St. Louis, December 27, 1917,
and
while at the Great Lakes Training Station on Lake Michigan, contracted
pneumonia
and died April 21, 1918, his remains being interred in the Rural Dale
Cemetery at
Clinton, Missouri [ed. note: the location of this cemetery is not correct,

children:
Mrs. Anna Smith, Lamar, Colorado; J. M. Trenton, Missouri; B. T., Trenton,

1863
when Mrs. Ream was about one year old, and his remains are buried in the
Pickett
Cemetery in Mercer County, Missouri. Her mother died in 1896 and is buried
in
Trenton, Missouri. Mrs. Ream is one of four children born to her parents, as
follow: Margaret, deceased; Abriska Stewart, deceased; Samuel, Adairsville,
Kentucky; and Eleanor, who married John Ream, the subject of this sketch.
Robert
Rhea Ream, son of John and Eleanor (Rhea) Ream, was reared and educated in
Grundy and Hickory counties, Missouri, and in 1910, came to Henry County,
and
since that time has been engaged in farming and stock-raising on the home
place.
He was united in marriage in 1910 with Miss Addie M. Pierce, a daughter of
Charles and Minnie B. Loomis Pierce, who settled in Hickory County,
Missouri,
several years ago, coming from Iowa. Mrs. Ream was the only child born to
her
parents, who now reside in Hickory County. To Mr. and Mrs. Ream have been
born
three children, Lois Louise, Francis Marion and Robert Pierce. Mr. Ream is
one of
the progressive young men of Henry County and the Ream family are well and
favorably known in this section.
