Famous Residents Addresses in Warrensburg - History

444 East Market. Former home to Leonard Goodall. Inventor of the rotary powered mower. According to Wayne Swisher our expert, more than 5,000,000 mowers are sold each year in the world.  And the first one came from Warrensburg, Missouri.  On May 11, 1929, he married Eula Johnson, and they soon built a small two-bedroom bungalow at 444 East Market, a home they occupied until his death in 1971. The basement of that house became Goodall's first workshop, and the Goodall Corporation buildings were later built in the back yard and on a vacant lot next door.

206 East Market, Home of Senator Cockrell. He fought for the Confederate cause during the Civil War. After one year of enlistment he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and a few weeks later to colonel. He was noted for his courage and strict discipline and idolized for his devotion to the comfort and welfare of his soldiers.  He resumed the practice of law after 1865. In 1875, he was re-elected 4 times and served 30 years in the United States Senate--March 4, 1875 to March 3, 1905. Cockrell and William Warner - Southern Nationalist politicians, helped the Republican maintain the White House in 1908. He spent his home life at 206 E. Market Street, Warrensburg, Missouri. The house was torn down in the spring of 1962.
