ELBERT VAN BEBBER
On the 30th day of December last, Mr. Elbert Vanbebber came into The Missourian office and said he wanted it stated positively that he was a candidate for Sheriff of Ray County, subject, to the action of the Democratic primary. Therefore his official announcement in another column today is not news to the Democratic voters of Ray County.
On January 1, 1913, Mr. Vanbebber, who had been selected by Sheriff George B. Kincaid as his deputy, was sworn in the same day that Mr. Kincaid was. The Sheriff, of course, selected Mr. Vanbebber among all his friends in the county because he had known him all through his boyhood and young manhood, and of course knew that he would attend to the duties of that responsible office faithfully and well. Much depends upon a deputy sheriff.
Mr. Vanbebber proved true to the trust imposed in him, as he has all through life in everything and under any and all circumstances. When Mr. A.C. Kincaid, the sheriff's brother, wanted to become deputy, the change was made, and Mr. Vanbebber cheerfully withdrew.
The two years experience that Mr. Vanbebber was deputy gave him an insight into the duties of the office of sheriff, which his friends are sure he can fill faithfully and well. He is court deputy now and he handles his duties to the entire satisfaction of Sheriff Kincaid and all concerned, attentive and polite to everybody on all occasions, as he always has been through life.
Mr. Vanbebber was deputy Marshall of Richmond four months in 1915, and when he wanted to resign, to enter the race for sheriff, Marshall John F. Thompson did not want him to do so, and a gentleman who was present informs us that he knew the council accepted his resignation with regret, because he had performed his duties courageously and well.
His parents are Mr. and Mrs. James H. Vanbebber, and he was reared on the farm near Knoxville. On the 27th day of October, 1898, he was married to Miss Barbara Campbell, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Campbell.
In speaking of Mr. Elbert while in The Missourian office the other day a gentleman, who has always known him, said: 'Elbert Vanbebber is one of the real Rayites, son of a native son of a native son. The family comes of good old Tennessee stock, and Elbert is honest, honorable and trustworthy. He is a farmer boy, and a good business man with plenty of grit. He is well-known in every township in the county, and favorably known. He is of good address and a real hustler. He has every qualification necessary to make a good sheriff of Ray County, and my personal opinion is that the voters of Ray would honor themselves by honoring Mr. Vanbebber by a nomination and election to the office of sheriff.'

Note: Where it states: The Sheriff, of course, selected Mr. Vanbebber among all his friends in the county because he had known him all through his boyhood and young manhood, and of course knew that he would attend to the duties of that responsible office faithfully and well. --
It should be noted that the sheriff, George B. Kincaid, was George Benjamin Kincaid the son of Andrew Jackson Kincaid and Mary Ann Renfro. Mary was the daughter of John Renfro and Elizabeth Wilds. John was the son of William Renfro and Nancy Van Bebber. It should also be noted that George Benjamin Kincaid was first married to Celestia Almarin VanBebber, the daughter of William Van Bebber and his second wife, Emily Jane Barbee. Celestia was a first cousin to Elbert's grandfather, William Henderson Van Bebber. George Kincaid was not only a cousin to Elbert Van Bebber, he was also a cousin to his wife, Barbee Campbell Van Bebber, the daughter of Joseph Campbell and Julia Ann Van Bebber. (GRH.)
