     Neither Mr. Dickinson nor any of the officers and directors of DFC,

during the last five years, been convicted in any criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or have been a

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     DFC acquired 233,626 shares of Common Stock on September 20, 1995 for
an aggregate purchase price of $9,111,414 pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement.  Assuming DFC acquires the additional 699,000 shares of Issuer
Common Stock, pursuant to the Option Agreement, the total amount of funds
used to purchase the additional 699,000 shares of Common Stock will be
$27,261,000.

     DFC acquired the 233,626 shares of Common Stock on September 20, 1995
using its working capital.  DFC anticipates that the acquisitions of
Issuer<Common Stock pursuant to the Option Agreement will also be purchased
using its working capital and up to approximately $10,000,000 in bank or
broker dealer borrowings.  However, no financing arrangements exist at this
time.


Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

     The securities described above were or will be acquired by DFC for the
purpose of investment.  In the future, any of the Reporting Persons may
decide to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock or other
securities of the Issuer or may decide to sell any or all of the securities
of the Issuer now or hereafter owned.

     The Reporting Persons believe that the various lines of business
operated by the Issuer and its subsidiaries have a greater aggregate
inherent value than is represented by the Common Stock at current market
prices.  They believe that management and the Board of Directors of the
Issuer should take all reasonably available steps to realize the inherent
values in the Issuer's lines of business and thereby maximize the value of
Issuer's Common Stock for its shareholders.  In their continuing efforts to
assess the value of their investment in the Issuer, and the effectiveness
of management's and the Board's efforts to maximize the value of that
investment, the Reporting Persons may communicate with, among others, the
Issuer's management, the Issuer's Board of Directors, and other share-
holders of the Issuer.

     Except as set forth in this Schedule, to the best of Reporting
Persons' knowledge, no person identified in Item 2, has any present plans
or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions
described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions for Item 4
of Schedule 13D.  DFC and LLIC reserve the right to exercise any and all
rights they may have as stockholders of the Issuer in a manner consistent
with their own best interests.


Item 5.   Interest in Securities of Issuer.

     The aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock of the Issuer
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are set forth in the responses
to questions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the inside cover page.  Such
information is incorporated herein by reference.

     To the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, no person identified
in Item 2 to the Schedule beneficially owns any Common Stock, except as
described in this Schedule.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     No transaction in the Common Stock has been effected by the Reporting
Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, by any person identified in
Item 2 to this Schedule during the past 60 days from the date of this
Schedule.


Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
          Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     DFC acquired 233,626 shares of Common Stock from State Street Boston
Corporation on September 20, 1995 at a price per share of $39.00 pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement.  DFC also entered into the Option Agreement with

                      OPTION AGREEMENT


     THIS OPTION AGREEMENT, dated September 15, 1995 is entered
into by and between State Street Boston Corporation, a Massa-
chusetts corporation with its principal offices located at 225
Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (the "Seller") and
Dickinson Financial Corporation, a Missouri corporation with
its principal offices located at 1100 Main Street, Suite 350,
Kansas City, Missouri 64105 (the "Buyer").

     WHEREAS, the Seller owns 699,000 fully paid and non-
assessable shares of common stock of UMB Financial Corporation
(the "Shares"); and

     WHEREAS, the Seller wishes to enter into an option
arrangement with the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to enter into
an option arrangement with the Seller, with respect to the
Shares upon the terms and conditions as set forth in this
Agreement;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

     1.   Option Arrangement.

          a.   Put and Call Options.  It is agreed that the
     Buyer shall have the right to purchase from the Seller a
     block of 233,000 of the Shares on each of December 22,
     1995, March 22, 1996, and June 21, 1996 at a price of
     $39.00 per share (the "Call Option").  In order to
     exercise a Call Option, the Buyer must provide written
     notice to the Seller of such intent at least ten business
     days prior to the specified date of the transfer of the
     stock as set forth in this paragraph.

          In the event that the Buyer does not exercise a Call
     Option as set forth above, the Seller shall have the right
     to sell to the Buyer a block of 233,000 of the Shares on
     each of December 22, 1995, March 22, 1996, and June 21,
     1996 at a price of $39.00 per share (the "Put Option"). 
     In order to exercise a Put Option, the Seller must provide
     written notice to the Buyer of such intent at least five
     business days prior to the specified date of the transfer
     of the stock as set forth above.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
          The parties understand and agree that the value of
     the Put Option and Call Option are equal and that no
     further consideration is required with respect to the 
     granting of the Put Option and Call Option.

          In the event of any change in the Shares by reason of
     stock dividend, stock split, merger, recapitalization,
     subdivision, conversion, combination, exchange of shares
     or similar transaction, the type and number of shares or
     securities to be delivered by Seller pursuant to this
     Agreement shall be adjusted appropriately and equitably,
     and proper and equitable provision shall be made so that
     Seller shall receive upon exercise of the Put Option or
     Call Option, as the case may be, the amount of cash to
     which it was entitled, and the Buyer shall receive the
     number and class of shares or other securities or property
     that Buyer would have held or been entitled to receive
     immediately after such event, if the Put option or Call
     Option, as the case may be, had been exercised and the
     transfer effected immediately prior to such event, or
     immediately prior to the record date for a stock split or
     stock dividend, as applicable.

          b.   Trade Execution; Defaults.  On each date that
     any portion of the Shares is transferred from Seller to
     Buyer, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the aggregate
     purchase price for that portion of the Shares in immedi-
     ately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account
     designated by the Seller.  Simultaneously with the
     delivery of immediately available funds as set forth in
     the preceding sentence, the Seller shall execute all
     documents necessary to effect the transfer of the relevant
     portion of the Shares to the Buyer which shares shall be
     free and clear of any and all liens, claims, charges and
     encumbrances of any kind whatsoever created or suffered by
     Seller, excepting any such liens or claims which arise
     under applicable federal or state securities laws.

          If Seller defaults in its performance of its obliga-
     tions hereunder and fails to cure any such default within
     five (5) days of the receipt of written notice of such
     default from Buyer, then Seller's Put Option shall
     terminate and be of no further force and effect.  If Buyer
     defaults in its performance of its obligations hereunder
     and fails to cure any such default within five (5) days of
     receipt of written notice of such default from Seller,
     then Buyer's Call Option shall terminate and be of no
     further force or effect.
