John H. Molloy, M.D., one of the leading physicians and surgeons
of Berryville, Ark., was born in St. Francois County, Mo., on
April 6, 1846, and is a son of Rev. Joseph T. Molloy and
Louisa Poston. Rev. Joseph T. Molloy was a native of Tennessee.
He was educated there, and when a young man came to Arkansas.
Louisa Poston was visiting relatives in Arkansas when she met
Joseph T. Molloy, and married him. He was a minister in
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and his life was devoted to
preaching the Gospel. At the time of his death, in 1848, he was
located at Jefferson City, Mo. His wife, who still
survives, is the daughter of Col. Poston, of St. Francois County,
Mo. Dr. John H. Molloy remained in St. Francois County until he
was fourteen years of age, when he went to Washington County,
Mo. After a residence of four years there the family removed to
St. Louis. Dr. Molloy commenced the study of medicine with his
uncle, Dr. H. W. Poston, of Irondale, Mo., and remained with him
one year. In the fall of 1864 he entered the St. Louis Medical
College and took a full course of lectures, completing his medical
education in that institution in the spring of 1866. In 1872 he
located at Carrollton, Ark., and engaged in the practice of his
profession. He came to Berryville in 1880, and resumed practicing,
which he has continued with good success. In 1876, while at Carrollton,
he engaged in the drug business in connection with his practice,
and has continued since
coming here. He first married, at Carrollton, Lizzie, a daughter
of Col. Denton, and a native of Carrollton. This wife died, after
which the Doctor married, about 1878, Ella Phillips, who was born,
reared and educated in Greene County, Mo. Four children have been
born to this union: Odin, Alta. Veva and Willie. Mrs. Molloy is
a member of the Christian Church at Berryville. The Doctor is
a member of the County Medical Board.

Biographical Sketch of William T. Hunter, Washington County, Missouri
From "History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties", Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1888.
William T. Hunter probably enjoys a more extensive and intimate
acquaintance with the citizens of Washington County than any other
one individual. His father, John A. Hunter, was born in Virginia
and was a son of Andrew Hunter, a native of the same State, who
removed to Washington County, Mo., when John A. was young, settling
on Big River, where he built a mill and distillery, which he conducted
in connection with his farm until his death. John A. engaged in
mercantile business on Loutre Island, and after his father's death
he purchased and moved to the old homestead in Washington County,
where he died April 23, 1875. He was twice married; first to Martha
J. Talbot, daughter of Dr. James Talbot, of Loutre Island, who
was an early settler and a prominent man in Northern Missouri,
having served as a member of the first constitutional convention.
Mrs. Hunter died in 1841, leaving four children: James T., Andrew
S., Jane E., now the wife of J. Amonett; and William T. Mr. Hunter
married as his second wife Patsey Hutchings, a daughter of John
Hutchings, of Washington County, who was also a member of the
first constitutional convention. She died in 1873, and the four
children born to their union are all deceased. William T. Hunter,
present clerk of the Washington County Court, was born on Loutre
Island, May 3, 1840, and was reared there until thirteen years
of age, when the family removed to near High Hill, Montgomery
County, where William followed the life of a farmer boy until
1858. He then went to Arkansas and clerked until about the outbreak
of the war, when he enlisted in the
Federal army in a company of cavalry under the call of Gov. Gamble,
which company was mustered out of service three months before
the expiration of the term of enlistment. Mr. Hunter, by permission
of Gov. Gamble, recruited an independent company of cavalry, of
which he was commissioned captain, and served about three and
one-half years. Upon his return from the army he found a commission
awaiting him to serve as clerk of the circuit court, and took
oath of office the same day. He
held the office by appointment until the fall election in 1866,
when he was elected to the same position, and held the office
until January 1, 1871. The following two years he was engaged
in the tinware and stove business, having been elected county
collector in 1872, in which capacity he served two years. In 1875
he went to Colorado and engaged in mining until 1877, when he
returned to Washington County, made his home on the old farm,
and engaged in milling until 1880, when he received
the appointment of deputy sheriff and collector, serving in this
capacity four years. He then sold goods on the road until 1886,
in which year he was elected to his present position. Politically,
he is a stanch Republican, and has rendered his party valuable
assistance. He was married, October 18, 1865, to Miss Josephine
Molloy, who was born in St. Francois County, Mo., and is a daughter
of Rev. Joseph T. Molloy; her mother's maiden name was
Louisa Poston. They have one daughter, Stella M., who is her father's
deputy.
