Notes |
- At first I thought he was a son of Henry C. Pasley and Mary Lucinda Potts, they had a son named Robert Lee Pasley, born about 1908. But his obituary lists his parents as Ira Lee and Lucy D. (Covington) Pasley.
From the History of Callaway county, 1984 book:
Bob was born in Callaway County, Bachelor, Missouri, the only child of Ira Lee Pasley and Lucy Dillard Covington. Bob's father and mother were born in Callaway County in 1875.
Bob attended Westminster College. Bob worked in a grocery store, sold General Motor cars and trucks, and served in the army for three years (1942-1945). He owned and operated a dairy farm until 1969. Since then he has operated as a livestock and grain farmer. During this time he has been active in Callaway County Farm Bureau, ASC Committee, and has been active in the formation of the Callaway County Rural Water District No. 2; he is presently a board member of that district.
