1. Copied from the History of Audrain County, MO:

"ALBERT C. BROCKMAN, an energetic farmer and worthy citizen of North

Wilson township, came from that cardiac center of the Blue Grass Regions

of Kentucky, Clark county, where he was born on the 8th of December,

1856, and was reared. His father was Jacob Brockman, now a well-to-do

farmer of Boone county, Missouri. Mr. Brockman's mother, before her

marriage, was a Miss Narcissa Quisenbury. She died comparatively early

in her married life, and had been the mother of five children, three of

whom are still living; Ormie, now Mrs. Robert B. Scott of Kentucky, and

Colby T., now of Boone county, being the other two. In 1877 the family

removed to Boone county where the father, now a venerable old gentleman,

is still engaged in farming on a comfortable place which he owns in that

county. He has married since his first wife's death, Miss Mary Steven-

son becoming his wife, but no children have issued from his last

marriage. Albert C. Brockman, the subject of this sketch, was reared on

his father's farm in Kentucky, and came out with the family to Missouri

in 1877. Here he soon afterwards engaged in farming for himself, and on

the 8th of December, 1880, was married to Miss Grotia H. Prather, a

daughter of James C. Prather, of Boone county, who is a near relative to

Col. Griff Prather of St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs. Brockman have one child,

an interesting little daughter, Ormie S., born September 25, 1881. About

the time of his marriage, Mr. Brockman bought a tract of land in Audrain

county on which he made his home and has since resided. He has a good

farm of 120 acres, and is otherwise fairly well fixed. Mr. and Mrs. B.

are members of the Christian church. Mr. B. is a cousin to Messrs. John

H. and James W. Brockman, whose sketch appears in this volume."

2. Mary (Stevenson) Brockman died at the age of about 80 years. She died

at the home of her nephew and niece on Paris Road in Boone co., MO.

3. Albert Brockman was living in Centralia, MO in 1907.
