James B. Northcutt, who is prominently identified with the mercantile interests of Nebraska City, is proprietor and manager of one of the oldest retail grocery houses in the State of Nebraska. He is a Kentuckian by birth, born in Millersburg, Bourbon County, Jan. 11, 1832. His father, Benjamin F. Northcutt, was born in Scotland . . . The subject of this sketch was four years old when his parents moved to Missouri, where he was reared to manhood. There being no free schools, he obtained his education in a school taught on the subscription plan. As soon as he was large enough he commenced to work to earn his own living, his first employment being to saw wood at twenty-five cents a cord. When he was in his eleventh year he commenced to work in a brickyard at St. Joseph, Mo., receiving $4 a month for the first two years and $6 a month the next two years, as compensation for his services, working hard from sunrise until sunset. When he was fifteen years old he had his first experience of the mercantile life as a clerk in a general store in St. Joseph, Mo., receiving a suit of clothes in payment for his work. He attended Lexington College during the winter season, and thus completed an excellent business education. When his parents first settled in Buchanan County it was in a very wild condition and was sparsely settled. St. Joseph was a hamlet of but a few log cabins, and the only hotel in the city was a log house. Indians were more plentiful than white people, and one time when our subject was about nine years old he stole away from home and joined the Indians on one of their hunting expeditions and was gone thirty days. Mr. Northcutt continued to clerk for the same firm until 1862, when he started in the month of October from Kansas City with a train of ox-teams loaded with freight bound for Ft. Union, N.M., 900 miles distant. He made the round trip, and arrived in Kansas City Feb. 3, 1863. He had not slept in a house during all the long journey. In May 1863, he bought a pair of mules and a wagon, and set out from St. Joseph for the gold fields of Idaho. He crossed the Missouri River at Peru in the month of May, and from Nebraska City proceeded across the plains, via Salt Lake to Idaho City, which he reached on the 3d of July. On the same day he engaged as a miner, at $7 a day. He continued there until October, 1864, and then, after spending a few days in Walla Walla City, went down the Columbia River to Portland, ore., and from there to Victoria, British America, and thence to San Francisco. After staying there a month, he proceeded to his old home in Missouri by way of the Isthmus of Panama and New York City, and finally arrived in St. Joseph in January 1865. [He found time to marry Kate Toole on 1 Mar 1865.] He there engaged with J. E. Barlow & Co., and went with a train to Salt Lake City, crossing the Missouri River April 1, and arriving in Salt Lake September 25. There was a train of ninety-eight wagons, all heavily laden, and on the 2d and 3d of August the teamsters had a battle with the Indians, who were then on the warpath, but they escaped without the loss of a man. He acted as clerk for Barrow & Co. in Salt Lake City until the following December, when he started on his return with a mule train for Atchison city, and thence proceeded to St. Joseph. At one time during the war Mr. Northcutt started from Kansas City to go to Independence to buy cattle for his employers. He had not gone far before he was advised to return, as Quantrell's guerillas were infesting the country, and were more numerous than he had expected. He did not heed the warning, however, as he was a man of steady nerve and cool courage, but kept on until he met a party of soldiers who had been attacked by the rebel marauders, and were fleeing for their lives. He then concluded the "discretion would indeed be the better part of valor" and wisely returned to Kansas City. He soon after went to Lawrence, Kan., for the same purpose, and in that State he found trading rather unpleasant, as people were at that time quite suspicious of any one coming from the Southwestern States. He, however, satisfied all queries, and finally reached Lawrence all right, and then returned, after buying $8,000 worth of cattle. Mr. Northcutt came to Nebraska City in the spring of 1866, arriving on the 15th of April, and at once established himself in the grocery business, which he has conducted continuously since with marked success. He is now one of the leading grocers here, and is numbered among the men of wealth in the city. Mr. Northcutt was married, in March 1865, to Miss Katie Toole, a native of Weston, Mo., and daughter of W. C. Toole. They have five children living, namely: Ebbie, Harry, Jesse, Wilbur, and James. Our subject is a man of wide experience, is prompt and wide-awake in business, and by his strictly honorable dealings has gained the confidence of his fellow-citizens . . . Mr. Northcutt has served as a member of the City Council for eight years, and his wisdom is also sought in the guidance of the affairs of the Christian Church, of which he and his wife are devoted members, and he has been Secretary and Treasurer. Socially, he is identified with the A. F. & A. M., belonging to Nebraska City Lodge No. 12.[3]

Octavius Toole " . . . was born in Weston, Missouri, near St. Joseph, July 18, 1847, and his wife was a native of Copenhagen, Denmark, born in 1857, coming to America as a child with her parents, who settled in a Danish community in Jackson county, Kansas. Christina Hansen was married to Octavius B. Toole in Atchison, Kansas, August 14, 1871. Her death occurred, January 16, 1881, when she was twenty-four years of age. Octavius B. Toole was in the money order department of the post office at St. Joseph, Missouri, for several years previous to his appointment as railway postal clerk, running between Qunicy, Illinois, and Kansas City, Missouri, which later position he filled for nearly thirty years. He died February 21, 1904, while yet in active service. He had been a cattleman in Montana, in the early '60s, in the same district of which his cousin, the Hon. J. K. Toole, is now governor. He was one of the first men to take an entire outfit overland from St. Joseph to Montana, the journey by ox-teams consuming six months. [Governor J. K. Toole was the son of Edwin and Lucinda Porter Toole.]

In the family of Octavius B. Toole, which moved to Quincy in 1876, were three children, one of whom, Roy, died in infancy. Nellie, the only daughter, became the wife of Dr. P. T. Chadwell, of Quincy. Many years following the death of his first wife Octavius Toole married Miss Alice McLaughlin, who had come from St. Joseph with the family and had cared for his children since the death of their mother.

Alpha Wigglesworth Toole, 82 years old, died yesterday at a local hospital where he had been a patient for some time. He was a lifelong resident of St. Joseph and had made his home at 809 North Fourth street for many years.

Survivors are a son Col. Leslie E. Toole, with the United States army and three daughters, Mrs. Hugh Kahlert, Toledo, Ohio: Mrs. Marian Vivian Trotter, Long Beach, Cal., and Mrs. Virginia Rench, St. Joseph.

As a genealogist Mr. Toole traced the ancestry of many St. Joseph families back through the centuries. He made use of the facilities of the reference room in the public library for this purpose and often spent hours in that institution. His own family he traced 1,000 years to the old kings of Ireland.

The Toole family came to the Platte Purchase June 17, 1836, and was one of the first in this part of the state. There were four brothers and three sisters, and about 500 descendants live in Missouri. The family came here from Kentucky.

A son of Edwin Toole was Joseph K Toole, who became the first Governor of Montana and a member of congress. Edwin Toole was the first circuit clerk of Buchanan Count, and was the city recorder, a justice of the peace and a member of the City Council.[48]
