Research Note: Buried next to Nannie L. Means. - Goodspeed's 1888 History: Dr. Thomas J. Means, a member of the firm of Means and Co., druggists, of Monett, MO, was born in Monroe Co., KY, in 1822, and is the only one living of a family of ten children born to the marriage of Thomas Means and Mary Mulkey. Thomas Means was of Irish descent, and born in PA in 1772. When ten years of age he went to VA, where he was reared to manhood. He became a farmer, and prior to his marriage went to East TN. Thence in 1796 he immigrated to Monroe Co., KY,, where he spent the remainder of his life, passing away in 1846. He was one of the pioneers of East TN, where he assisted in fighting the red men, and also settled in KY when the nearest milling point was over 100 miles distant. His wife, who was of English origin, was born in TN in 1778, and died in 1856. Thomas J. Means made his home with his parents, assisting them on the farm, as long as they lived. In 1858 he as united in marriage with Emma Taylor, a native of OH, who was born in 1835. In 1847 Dr. Means commenced the study of medicine, and the following year left his native State, coming to Barry Co. He located in the western part of the county, and in 1852 entered upon the practice of his profession, having been engaged in farming prior to this time. During the late war he was in IL, soon after which he went back to KY. About 1875 he went to KS, and in 1878 returned to Barry Co. In 1887 he settled in the rapidly growing town of Monett, where he established a drug store and has since resided. His first wife died in 1868, and in 1883 he was married again, choosing for his second wife Mrs. Nannie Leonard, a native of TN. Dr. Means is one of the substantial citizens of the county, and is well respected. In religious belief he is a Universalist, and is a member of the Masonic fraternity. Politically his sympathies are with the Democratic party. - Another Photo Monett Cemetery Records
