HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES David Rowland Francis was born October 1, 1850 in Richmond, Kentucky to John

Broaddus and Eliza Caldwell Rowland Francis. During the Civil War, Francis worked as

a newsboy in Richmond, saving money for college. Following graduation from

Washington University (St. Louis) in 1870, an uncle offered him a position with the

commission house of Shryock and Rowland in St. Louis. Francis founded his own grain

merchant business, D. R. Francis and Brother Commission Company in 1877. He married

Jane Perry, the granddaughter of former Missouri Treasurer James Earickson, in St. Louis

on January 20, 1876. The couple had six sons.

While serving as president of the St. Louis Merchants Exchange in 1884, Francis was

elected delegate at large to the National Democratic Convention in Chicago, and in 1885

as mayor of St. Louis. As mayor, Francis collected a $1,000,000 debt owed to the city by

the Missouri Pacific Railroad, reduced gaslight rates and interest rates on city bonded

debt. He is the only mayor of St. Louis to serve as governor.

Francis won a narrow victory in the 1888 gubernatorial election, receiving 49.2% of the

statewide vote. He was sworn in as Missouri’s 27th

governor on January 14, 1889.

Governor Francis lowered taxes twice, established the Bureau of Geology and Mines, and

introduced the Australian voting procedure to the Missouri election system. Featuring

printed ballots containing the names of all candidates, the system allowed for private

voting and ticket splitting. Previously, citizens cast their votes orally or on tickets printed

by the political parties.

Known as the "second father" of the University of Missouri, Francis secured the addition

of a Civil War direct tax of $600,000 to the University's endowment and established the

nine man bipartisan Board of Curators. When Academic Hall (the main administration

building) burned in 1892, Francis secured $250,000 from the state legislature to rebuild

and successfully fought to keep the University of Missouri in Columbia. A bronze bust of

Francis graces the campus quadrangle located on the site of Academic Hall and named in

his honor.

Governor Francis served as U.S. Secretary of the Interior in the second administration of

President Grover Cleveland. He served as president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition

from 1889 to 1904. Promoting the fair abroad, he visited heads of state in France,

Germany, England, and Belgium. Francis’ efforts paid off and the 1904 St. Louis World's

Fair was considered an international showcase and a financial success. In 1916, he

donated 60 acres of land to the city of St. Louis. The land was developed in the 1930s and

is known as Francis Park, located at the heart of the St. Louis Hill Neighborhood.

James A. Reed defeated Francis for U.S. Senator in the 1910 Democratic primary.

Francis declined a diplomatic appointment to South America but accepted the

ambassadorship to the Russian Empire from President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. On

November 6, 1918 Francis was carried on a stretcher to an American warship and taken

to London. He died in St. Louis on January 15, 1927. David Rowland Francis is interred

in Bellefontaine Cemetery.
