B. F. Kendrick ranks among the successful farmers of Camden County, Mo.
and was born in Washington county, Ark., July 30, 1848, being a son of
John and Eliza A. (Hines) Kendrick, who emigrated from Alabama to Tenn.
thence to Illinois, and from there to Arkansas at quite an early day.
They located in Washington county, where the father's death occurred,
but the mother died in Camden county, Mo.  B. F. Kendrick is the young-
est of their eight children, and until sixteen years of age was a resi-
dent of Arkansas.  He was a member of the Enrolled Militia at Fayette-
ville, Ark., during the late war, and was in several hard skirmishes,
and after the death of his father was left to fight the battle of life
alone, and until 1874 resided in the following counties in Missouri:
Moniteau, Pettis, Cooper and at the latter date came to Camden county
and resided for a number of years at Climax Springs.  Since that time
he has resided on the farm of 130 acres where he now lives.  It is
nearly all under cultivation, well improved and is admirably adapted to
stock purposes, in which Mr. Kendrick is considerably interested.  In
1870 he was married to Lucinda Beard, by whom he has a family of seven
children: William, Eliza A., George, Laura J., Mary, John and Lizzie.
The mother of these children died April 30, 1884 and on the 20th of 
September of that year he wedded Catherine Nicholson, by whom he has 
two children, Benjamin and Dora.  Mr. Kendrick is a member of the
Masonic fraternity, and is one of the successful farmers and honored
citizens of the county.
