INTRODUCTION

DONOR INFORMATION

The Lloyd C. Stark Papers were donated to the University of Missouri by Stark on 18 June 1943 (Accession No. 40). An addition to the collection was made by Mrs. Lloyd C. Stark on 10 March 1980 (Accession No. 4274).

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Lloyd Crow Stark was born on 23 November 1886, in Louisiana, Missouri, to Clarence McDowell and Lillie Crow Stark. In 1908 he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and married Margaret Pearson Stickney of Baltimore, Maryland. Margaret died in 1930 leaving two sons, Lloyd Stickney and John Wingate Stark. In 1931 Lloyd C. Stark married Katherine Lemoine Perkins of St. Louis, Missouri, and they had two daughters, Mary Murray Spottswood and Katherine Lemoine Stark.

Lloyd Stark served in the U.S. Navy from 1908 until 1912, when he returned to Louisiana, Missouri, and was elected vice-president and general manager of Stark Brothers Nurseries. His business career was interrupted by World War I when he volunteered for the army and served in the United States and France taking part in the 1918 Muese-Argonne offensive. Stark returned to his business position following the war and advanced to chairman of the board in 1934.

Stark served in numerous business and civic organizations throughout his life. He first entered politics in 1928 as general chairman of Missouri’s $75,000,000 State Highway Bond Campaign. He was elected governor of Missouri in 1936 and served one term from 1937 to 1941. During his term as governor he served as chairman of the Governor’s Conference of the United States and chairman of the Council of State Governments. Some notable accomplishments of his administration include balancing the state budget, establishing the Ellis Fischel State Cancer Hospital in Columbia, establishing a merit system for selection of state employees, passage of a police reorganization bill, and the abolition of interstate trade barriers. In addition, Stark is credited with the breakup of the Pendergast political machine in Kansas City.

In 1940 Stark declared for the U.S. Senate but was narrowly defeated for the Democratic nomination by Harry S Truman. This defeat signaled the end of Stark’s own political career, and he thereafter devoted himself to the management of Stark Brothers Nurseries and his several large farms in northeast Missouri. He was, however, influential in the political careers of Clarence Cannon and Stuart Symington, and he remained actively interested in the welfare of his state and nation until his death on 17 September 1972.
