He died in the in the Gracejchurchyard in north St. Louis. William Clark, also a native of Virginia, and also ot Lewis and Clark’s expedition, then became Governor. He died in St. Louis in 1838, leaving a good name and for- tune and many worthy descendants, who are still honored by the people ot this State. He was the last of the Territorial Governors. Alexander McNair was the first Governor of the State. He was a Pennsylvanian. He lost his com- fortable tortune in the terrible hard times of 1821, while he was Gover- nor, and died in St. Louis in 1526, insolvent, and broken down politic- ally and otherwise Fred. Bates was the second Gov- ernor of the State. He was nomi- nated without solicitation and elect- ed without making a canvass or even publishing an address. He died in Bonhomme township, St. Louis county, in 1826, leaving a small landed estate on which his own sur- viving child Lucans, still resides, a man of fine acquirements, but who has hid his talents under a bushel in a retired country life. John Miller, the next Governor, was abachelor. He died in St. Louis in 1852, well off, but not par- | ticularly distinguished. He was succeeded by Daniel Dunkin, who died on a fine farm on the Missis- sippi river just where the Iron Moun- tain railroad leaves its banks. Silburn W. Boggs then became Governor.

The vexations attending his administration and the rapid subversion of his conservative views were supposed to be the main cause cf his death. His abilities and probabilities were never doubted by any one. All the succeeding Governors, Hall, Fletcher, McClurg, Brown, ‘Woodson and Phelps, are still alive, so thatfor a period ot more than twenty years no Governor of this State, in or out of office, has died. The long list of dead Governors is not a happy one. Two committed suicide while in office, one was as- sassinated, one died an exile from power and affections of all parties, and one died a pauper, while many and even most of them died bank- rupt in fame, fortune and high po- sition. Some on the list have left names that deserve to be remembered with gratitude and esteem by the people, but the administrations of nearly all of them serve merely as chronological marks in the history of the State.
