Henry Larimore, the celebrated breeder of short-horn cattle, of this county, attended eight fairs during the fall and took sixty-three premiums on his cattle. Fairs attended were Columbia, Jefferson City, Booneville, California, St. Louis and Sedalia, Missouri.

Information provided by Anna Jaech:

Henry Larimore left Callaway County at the start of the Civil War and was judged to be a traitor and was told to leave the country. He may have gone to France.

About this time, the 11th Iowa Infantry, under Captain McFarland, occupied the farm of Henry Larimore north of Fulton.

On March 7, 1862, the farm was still in Captain McFarland's possession. The farm was valued at $50,000.00. Through the influence of Major James Rollins, United States Representative in Washington DC, President Lincoln had issued an order by which Henry Larimore of Callaway County can return home. It was rumored that Henry was working for the United States Government).

On August 12, 1874, Captain Isaac Snedicor had succeeded in securing an award from the War Commission in the amount of $7,670.00 for Henry Larimore. His farm, Etal, had been withheld from him.

The St. Louis Times of Monday last speaking of our distinguished fellow citizen, Honorable Henry Larimore, say-Henry Larimore, who will be remembered as one of the conspicuous members of the State Legislature, died at his home in Callaway County last week.

Henry was a native of Kentucky and about 65 years of age. He came to Missouri and in the central part of the state in 1835 where he engaged in farming and coal mining for many years. Henry was the first to introduce short horn cattle into the state (as early as 1940). He was always a great fancier of fine cattle and had large herds of the most improved grades on his farm a few miles south of Fulton and this led to him being called the "Cattle King" of central Missouri.

Six years ago Henry was elected to the Legislature on what was called the Reform Ticket.

He was full of peculiarities and eccentricities but his heart was big, pure and honest and after a long, prosperous and useful life the good man sleeps the sleep of the just.
