George Washington Wymore

He joined his father in the stockyards and meat market business in Liberty, but in September of 1872 he purchased a livery stable on Depot St. known as the Thompson House.  History of Clay and Platte Counties, Missouri (St. Louis: National Historical Co., 1885), p. 371.  The purchase date and location come from Nadine Hodges, ,Genealogical  Notes from the Liberty Tribune, Vol. III (bound mimeo), p. 74.  (Mid-Continent Lib 7-94) said,  "he made a specialty in dealing in horses and mules, in which he had good success.  Mr. Wymore is accounted one of the best judges of this class of stock in the county.  He takes a special pride in handling horses and mules, and can get up a saddle or harness in better shape and in less time than perhaps any other man in the county."

They acquired a farm of eventually 200 or more acres about two miles from town on the west side of the main road going south.  His real property was worth $3,000 in the 1860 census and personal property was worth $2,000.  George W. Wymore wrote his will on Jan. 17, 1901, leaving everything to his wife, but naming his ten surviving children. Will is in the Clay County Archives (Clay Co. Hist Soc 7-94).


Delilah Wymore

The 1860 census records her as living in Leavenworth (the city) with all her children except Laura.   At some point probably in the early 1860s, Delilah and her  remaining children  moved to Chillicothe, Missouri (about 70 miles northeast of Liberty).  Daughter Ellen married there in 1872 as did Laura in 1877.  Not quite 48 years old, Delilah Wymore Skaggs died in Chillicothe on June 6, 1875, and was buried there two days later.
