of John
and Eliza (Abernathy) Kinder. John Kinder was born in North

February 14, 1801. When a young man he immigrated to Missouri,
but in
1836 returned to his native State and married. Mrs. Kinder is of
Scotch-Irish descent, born in North Carolina in 1805. She is
still
alive, and has been a resident of Missouri for fifty years. She
is a
devoted member of the Lutheran Church. John Kinder died at his

Bollinger County March 11, 1874. Jacob M. Kinder was reared on
his
parents' farm, and, in his boyhood days, attended the common
schools.
Just as he was preparing to enter college the Civil War broke
out, and
he was destined to be educated in the severest of schools, the
battlefield. In 1861 he enlisted in the Confederate army under
Capt.
Clarkson, First Arkansas Battery, and during the war was in
Claiborne's
brigade. He was under Sydney Johnston, and saw him killed at
the battle
of Shiloh. He also served under Joseph E. Johnston. Besides a
hundred
lesser engagements he participated in the battles of Shiloh,
Perryville,
Murfreesboro, Chickamauga and Franklin. He was under fire from
Dalton
to Jonesboro, Ga., a period of ninety-three days. At the time
of the
surrender he was at Macon, Ga. In 1875 Mr. Kinder was married
to Martha
Allbright, a native of Bollinger County, born April 28, 1848.
She is of
German, Irish and English lineage, and is the mother of two
children:
Sarah M. and Ureal E. Mr. Kinder owns 200 acres of land, a part
of
which is as fertile as any in Southeast Missouri. [p.
