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

Missouri State Archives Page 2 of 495 Finding Aid 3.27
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.
