Biographical Sketch of Mr. Ketchersides
Ketchersides. A man named Ketchersides, a cooper by trade, came from Tennessee at a very early date, and settled on Massey’s Creek in (now) Warren County. He remained only one year, when he sold out and returned to Tennessee. In about another year he made his appearance in Missouri again, but remained only a short time, when he went back to his old State. He continued in this way until his death, remaining in one State only so long as it was necessary to get money enough to take him back to the other.
