"A Memorial & Biographical Record
of Kansas City and Jackson County, Missouri

ALFRED BAXTER SLOAN, M.D.

Has not only been prominently connected with professional interests in Kansas City, but is also numbered among the honored pioneers of Jackson county. He has seen much of the wild land transformed into beautiful homes and farms, has watched the growth and development of this place, and has ever given a hearty support to those interests calculated to promote the county's welfare. Here he attained an enviable reputation as a medical practitioner, and now, after a useful business career is living retired, enjoying a rest which he richly merits.

Dr. Sloan is numbered among the native sons of Missouri, his birth having occurred at Cole Neck, Cooper county, September 24, 1827. The family comes from the Emerald Isle, his grandfather, Alexander Sloan, having been a native of Belfast, Ireland, whence he came to America at the age of 15 and settled in the colony of Pennsylvania, for it was before the days of American independence. When the colonies, no longer able to withstand the oppressive measures heaped upon them, sought to obtain independence in the long and bloody war of the Revolution, he loyally joined the army of his adopted country. When success had crowned the American arms and the British troops had returned to their native land, he located in Virginia, where he was married. Near the close of the century he became one of the pioneers of Tennessee, sharing the hardships of frontier life, and later removed to Christian county, Kentucky. In 1819 he brought his family to Missouri, and after residing in Howard county for a time, went to Cooper county. His last days were spent in LaFayette county, where he died, at the age of 84.

Rev. Robert Sloan, father of our subject, was born in Tennessee in 1801, and accompanied his parents on their various removals. He entered the ministry of the Cumberland Presbyterian church when a young man, and for 40 years he devoted his life to that calling. His death occurred in Cass County, Missouri in 1869. In 1826 he had married Margaret Davidson Ewing, a native of Todd county, Kentucky, born in 1807. They became the parents of 12 children, 9 of whom reached adult age, namely: Alfred B.; Mrs. Fannie K. Jones, of Kansas City, wife of Greenup J. Jones; E. MacGready, of St. Louis, grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Missouri; Alexander Thompson, a farmer of Cass county, Missouri; and Hon. Charles William, of Harrisonville, who has served as judge of the circuit court of Cass and Johnson counties; the others have passed away. "

While family notes indicate he was buried in Peculiar Mo. cemetery, Union cemetery records indicate he was buried here, as is his wife. It is claimed a stone for him was found in 1986, here in Union Cemetery, but not found in later searches.
