Hesse ADVISORY ADVISORY JOHN L. ANHEUSER GENERAL CHAIRMAN ^lerle C. Hesse J. i:. Hiiuheliffe, Sr. TREASURER SECRETARY Col John OTallon Biography of John OTallon John OTallon. from whom the city of O' Fallon derived its name, was one uf St. Louis' most interesting and histori- cal characters. He was a soldier, a business man. a real estate owner. and public minded citizen. His father, James O'Fallon, was a physician who came to this country shortly before the Revolutiona -y V ar and served as a surgeon in Washington's army. After the war he went to Louisville. Kentucky, where he met and mirried Frances Clark, a sister of George Rogers Clark and William Clark, Army officers, who became famous in the develop- ment of the Mississippi Valley. John O' Fallon's father died when John was but a child and be was reared and educated by his mother and uncles, With this army background it was only natural that he, too, became a soldier. He fought in the War of 1812 where he rose to the rank of Captain. After the war ended he came to St. Louis and became assistant Indian Agent to his Uncle William Clark of Lewis and Clark Expedition fame. Later John O'Fallon was a conl ractor, buying and selling supplies to the Amriy. This proved a profitable business and he accumulated a considerable fortune. He invested his newly acquired wealth in a num- ber of very lucrative enterprises, among them railroads. He was one of the promoters of the Pacific Railroad mow Missouri Pacific) as well as the North Missouri Railroad (now the Wabash) and the Ohio and Mississippi (now Balti- more and Ohio) and was the first president of each of these railroads. His most gainful investment was two large tracts of land now part of north St. Louis which he subdivided into building lots. On a part of one of these tracts he built a large country home which he named Athlone for the town in Ireland from which his father had come. This estate was later acquired by the city of St. Louis and is now O'Fallon Park. John O'Fallon is remembered for his many charitable and educational benefactions. Among these were gifts to St. Louis University, Washington University, and particular ly a large gift to O'Fallon Polytechnic Institute. This latter institution was the forerunner of the St. Louis high schools and public library. He also assisted the Episcopal Church of which he was a member and built the Methodist Church at the corner of Fourth Street and Washington Avenue in St. Louis of which is wife was a member. John O'Fallon died December 17, 1865 at his home, 1125 Washington Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri.

Outreach is heavily directed at avocational groups, recording private collections, distributing educational material, giving presentations, and providing instruction and assistance in caring for cultural resources and material. I’m also interested in Mississippian iconography, geophysical survey, and material culture in general and how these avenues of research can offer insights into community organization and identity as well as tracking migration of peoples and lifeways.
