Individual:
Migrated from Christian County, Kentucky to Ozark County, Missouri before the Civil War. He served in Co. H, 46th Regiment of the Missouri Volunteer Infantry, United States Army, as a Corporal, under the command of Captain Moses Lock Alsup.
In "Turnbo's Tales of the Ozarks: Biographical Stories" the following information appears regarding Thomas H. Lord in an article entitled "Recollections of a Widow Woman" - Mrs. Mary Sanders, widow of Hiram Sanders. Mrs. Sanders mentioned several early settlers on Lick Creek but the last paragraph is about Thomas H. Lord.
"Tom Lord, the noted chimney builder, built a number of stone chimneys in Ozark County before the war. Some of his work is standing to the present day. Soon after the close of the war in 1869, he built a blacksmith shop on Gooley's Spring Creek and lived there several years and made horse shoes and shod horses and did much other work for the settlers. One day, he went up on the hill near the blacksmith shop and selected a place to be buried which was near a post oak tree. He marked the spot by placing a stone on it and when the time arrived for him to quit shoeing horses and depart from this world, his body was given burial where he requested to be laid. Mr. Lord's son, Bartlett, is also buried there and his grandson Morgan Wood is buried there. Morgan was the son of Jim Wood and Sally Ann, daughter of Tom Lord. Millie, sister of Tom Lord, married Jim Barnette, another noted blacksmith."
