Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 7 March 2004 Vol 3 Issue: #10 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, My mind was certainly jumping around, making quantum leaps in several directions this week. On one of my e-mail lists there was some discussion of effigy markers and Woodmen of the World [WOW]. In another direction I enjoyed several hours [well, a couple anyway] looking through historical memorabilia of Maumee, Ohio with a collector who just happened to be conncted to the Modern Woodmen of America. [I was in search of material for a history book on two of the city's divisions.] Thirdly, I have worked with the Chair of cemetery identification for the Ohio Genealogical Society, Mrs Lolita Guthrie, and I remembered some earlier readings about tombstones which would apply to effigy markers. And, coincidentally, some new correspondence concerning Barb's X-great Uncle, Civil War General William Sooy Smith, arrived. The General, though living and dying in the State of Washington was brought back to Chicago, Illinois for interment, but without a marker until West Point Alumnus installed one a half century later. For effigy tombstones or freestones, I rather like the Knight's Templar ones. There in church yards "lyeth diuers portraitures of men & women cut in stone amongst others, ... in their Armour with Sheilds very auntient with their coats on them." Most of them are clear out of my reach due to the time period they were made, thus their location. Most of these are total stone tombs with slabs on top with carved full sized likeness' of the person within. Many fine examples of these effigy tombs are found well preserved because they are located in the interior of the churches in existence during and following the Crusades. Those that were erected out side the church or removed from the church have not faired as well. The "Old Burial Ground" in Southold Township, a one acre plot, is the original burial ground of the town of Southold, NY and contains the graves of the original settlers. Supposedly this is the oldest English settlement in New York, thus containing the oldest graveyard. The Reverend John Youngs organized the Church and town in October of 1640. There was no separation of Church and State here for originally only church members were allowed to vote at town meetings or hold any office. [The Church functioned as the town meeting house, their fortress of defense and their temple of worship.] The majority of grave markers here are made of slate. Their decoration varies from plain to highly incised tablets with intricate deathsheads and crossbones. Some later stones had urns and willows and wreaths in their iconography. Back to the discussion. The Modern Woodmen of America was founded in 1883 in Omaha, Nebraska and was named in honor of the pioneering woodmen who cleared the forests to build homes and communities and to provide security for their families. Joseph Cullen Root formed a fraternal society built on the same spirit to clear away family financial difficulties. Members of this organization or relatives often have various types of tombstones, including those that look like tree stumps and/or logs, but the marker has an indication that the person buried there had a connection with the organization. If while walking through a cemetery, you spot a marker resembling a tree-stump, observe if it has an inscription such as "Here Rests a Woodman of the World". Sometimes the stones are in the shape of logs laying on the ground. And, other markers may just have a circular design on them with a log, a dove, an axe, maul, and wedge. An inscription "DUM TACET CLAMAT" confirms that the person buried there had a connection with the Woodmen of the World. One of the benefits of belonging to the original fraternal society was that upon death, the other members would pass the hat to collect money for the widow and children. Later, with the frequency of the hat being passed around, Mr Root began to sell insurance to members, thus making it fraternal benefit society. Since the Woodmen were all male, a women's auxilary was organized called the "Royal Neighbors of America". After a "falling" out within the ranks, two other insurance companies were formed: The Woodmen of the World, and the Woodmen of the World, Pacific Jurisdiction, each with a women's auxiliary. Up until 1935, when a member died, the society would donate $100.00 towards the funeral expenses if the family allowed the society's emblem and/or wording to appear on the grave marker. Originally the gravestones were to be of uniform design. However, personal preferences and individuality of the stone cutters, not to mention their creativity, resulted in varied, often unique designs. The emblem adorning the Woodmen stump symbolizes equality and commonwealth. Some other symbols are a dove with an olive branch [symbolizing the peace of Heaven] and an axe, beetle and wedge, which symbolize workmanship and progress. Many of the tree monuments stand five foot high with sawed and broken limbs. Flowers, ferns or vines often are carved at the base. This type of monument became very popular, so that all tree stump and log stones are not for Woodmen of the World ... only those with the WOW emblem or words inscribed on them. I'm often asked how can a person's grave be found? It can be difficult. I know, for I have an ancestor who died in Massac county, Illinois and his grave has yet to be found. However, the most popular resources to clues to interment are obituaries, SSDI, death certificates, funeral homes, coroner's records, cemetery offices, societies and/or record holders. And, last, but certainly not least ... post a query. e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 29 February 2004 Vol 3 Issue: #09 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, They say that the Bible is the most oft read literature. If that is so, then the second most oft read literature lies in the second section of my daily newspaper ... it is the Obituary Page(s). Clarence Darrow is credited with saying: "I have never killed a man but I have read many obituaries with a lot of pleasure." Sure, an' I don't know that I can make this one humorous. For forty-two years I have taken notes and have written the woes, triumphs, mistakes, secrets and shortcuts of researching family history. My mind is "right-brained" and my "organized" files are in piles stacked everywhere. There was a time when I could go to the right pile, reach down and grab the exact piece of paper I wanted or needed. That ability has slowly begun to erode and I'm left with the feeling of doing things standing in a hammock. Come to think about it, sometimes just walking, I feel that way. Obituaries are written for history and posterity, but they can also be written for the entertainment of the living. And, since I have written a few these past several years I can say with all honesty they are a sobering way to spend a day. It most certainly reminds one of their own mortality. When one is young, obituaries are most often skipped. A few short decades later and one begins to read them "religiously". They come in all styles. A former Detroit News reporter, Dorothy Jones Kilpatrick, often clipped humorous ones from newspapers and mailed them to her friends. Once obituaries were just a bit more than death notices. Then they developed into semi-biographical notes with a touch of nice character attributes. It would be so nice to have written obituaries for such people as Tom Sopwith, the plane-maker, the aviation pioneer .... the inspiration for "Snoopy's no-wing doghouse". Or, the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, writer and mathematician. He had an interest in logic purely from the humorous and playful nature of it, rather than its uses as a tool. We better know this person as the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll. If you would like to refresh your memory of his humor reread his poem "Jabberwocky". A work full of nonsensical words made from word combinations. We family historians could learn a lot about how to do our research from obituary writing. The newspaper obituary writer of today is made up of the beginning journalist and the most experienced newspaper journalist. Obituaries are all about reporting, interviewing, accuracy, and captivating the average reader. There are biographical obituaries and there are feature obituaries. Jim Nicholson of the Philadelphia Daily News became a master of the latter type. He once wrote "15 inches" about a guy who fixed toilets. He wrote about a mother who smacked her kids for "making the nuns upset". He also used such phrases as "skinny as a lead pencil". He also said of his obituary work, that it was laminated and hanging on walls. Under these circumstances, obituary writing is an "art form". Over time I have noticed that there are more and more self-styled obituaries appearing in my daily newspaper. The sad part is that the families are being charged a fee to put them into the newspapers. Oh, well, this is the 21st century after all. Some of these self created obituaries are earnest, sincere, and probably quite honest. Some are quite macabre. One thing is for sure .... writing one's own obituary you get to say your "piece". My mother-in-law wrote her own. It was filled with life's accomplishments and doings. I wrote my Father's and our Daughter's obituaries ... I wish I had been less sober in my tone. At least, their personality was included. Many folks who know that they are dying write their own obituaries. My cousin, who died very recently, wanted to say some things to her loved ones and friends so she wrote her wishes in a poem. In part it said, "...Don't speak of me with tears, But Laugh and talk as if I were beside you." She experienced several recurrences of bone cancer before she finally succumbed. Another note that I saved because it was a "family" surname was written by a Mark Reiman. He said, "My body, my earthly shell, finally gave out after fighting and living with ALS [Lou Gehrig's disease] ...." "I drained every quality minute I could from my body and it was a wonderful, beautiful, incredible life filled with love, learning, adventure and some mighty challenges." Now that obituary has quality to move any reader who had the chance to read it. Putting your words about how you'd like to be remembered to paper puts two sides of a coin to view. First, have I done that? And, second, what do I want to do with what remains of my time? Either side of that coin can make the writer fall victum to the allure of grandstanding on a final soapbox. :) Whether you want to put your own spin on what you are remembered for, or you want the last laugh, remember that there must be honesty included in the obituary. They are, after all, written for history and posterity. Oh, before I close ... there are other cultures with other views about obituaries. In Mexico and some other Latin American countries there is the "Dia de los Muertos" [Day of the Dead]. This is a remembrance day in those cultures. For this day, toy skeletons are bought. Calavera poems are written about celebrities [humorous obituaries about people yet living]. After all, jokes must be played at the expense of Death because ultimately Death always has the last word, but not necessarily the last laugh. To be dead sure that you get the last word ..... write your own obituary! I'm off to do mine now, while I have maybe two or three decades above ground. I can always update it every two years. e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

My Walker family lived in Murphysboro township from about 1868 until Thomas J Walker died between 1870-1880. His wife Nancy went to live with her daughter in Ridge after his death. Thomas was a farmer during his time in Jackson County. I am trying to find both their death dates and where they are buried, most likely in Murphysboro. Can anyone on the list tell me this information? Their son Thomas J Walker, Jr. and his wife Harriet also lived in the area and I have been unable to find them after the 1880 census. If anyone had an index for the 1900 or 1910 census I would appreciate a look up. Thanks for any help. Susan Lane

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 22 February 2004 Vol 3 Issue: #08 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, Michael Howard Phillips [3 February 1962 — 16 February 2004] When I was a boy we would on occasion visit some cousins whose Father and Uncles were in the construction trades. These ironworkers would fit I-beams together to build tall buildings. These men were Mohawk and they were at "home" walking high above the ground. Never to my knowledge did any of them ever lose their footing. The last occupation that my Grandpa Oliver had was as the operator of a crane. He was a man of great height, strength and ingenuity. He made several improvements to his crane which allowed him to "sling" railroad ties onto railroad flatbed cars with greater safety. He was a "safety" minded man and was diligent toward that end. A distant Grand Uncle of my wife's was a Civil War General of the Calvary. However, he was a Structural Engineer by training and built bridges following that tragic period of our history. And, you wonder, what this has to do with heritage. Well, it is a long stretch, but this past week a 100 ton custom constructed crane came crashing to the ground. It was a small miracle that only three workers lost their lives and five more were "injured". One of these men who lost their lives was the son of a first cousin. This tragedyfollows so closely to our own daughter losing her battle with Sarcoma cancer and makes it that much "closer to home". I wonder what General William Sooy Smith would think of modern bridge construction. He was an innovator himself. Born on the 22nd of the wonderful month of July 1830 in Tarlton, Ohio, General Smith's life was well connected to Ohio, Illinois and Nebraska. He graduated from Ohio University in 1849 and then attended the US Military Academy at West Point. He graduated from West Point sixth in his class of 1853. After a year of service, he resigned to work with Colonel James D Graham, of the United States topographical engineers. In 1855 he moved to Buffalo, New York where he was the principal of a high school. Two years later he made the first surveys for the international bridge crossing the Niagara river. Then he was elected engineer and secretary of the Trenton Locomotive works, in Trenton, New Jersey. At that period of our country's history this company was the major iron-bridge manufacturing company in the United States of America. He remained with this company until 1861 and traveled to Cuba, among other places. Also, while working for the Trenton Locomotive works he introduced improvements to sinking cylinders pneumatically to build the Savannah river bridge. With the Civil War commencing, William S Smith returned to Ohio to accept a commission as Lieutenant-Colonel.and served as assistant adjutant-general at Camp Denison. Upon being promoted to full Colonel he was given command of the 13th Ohio regiment and participated in the West Virginia campaigns. He was present at Shiloh, Perryville and took part in the Vicksburg campaign as commander of the 1st division of the 16th corps. He was made chief of cavalry of the Department of the Tennessee, and was attached to Generals Grant and Sherman, until September 1854 due to impaired health he resigned his commission, retiring to his farm in Maywood, Illinois. Returning to civil engeneering, in 1867 he sank the first pneumatic caisson in building the Waugoshanee light-house at the western entrance of the Straits of Mackinaw. Since he had been largely engaged in the building of bridges it should be noted that he built the first great all-steel bridge across the Missouri river at Glasgow, Missouri. In Nebraska he was involved with the constructioin of the Omaha and the Leavenworth bridges, as well as the bridge over the Missouri river at Plattsmouth, Nebraska. By 1890, General Smith, by virtue of his expertise in foundations and structural engineering, was part of the building of every tall building being built in Chicago during this period of time. An example of his work was the Chicago Public Library, now the Chicago Cultural Center. His foundations were so accurate in this building that there has been no appreciable settling in the building. General William Sooy Smith retired to Medford, Oregon, where he died on March 4th, 1916 at the age of eighty-six. He is buried in the Forest Home Cemetery, Forest Park, Cook County, Illinois. His grave was unmarked until the West Point Society of Chicago placed a monument in his memory in 1969. This week, to divert my mind to other things I chose to write some family heritage. Yes, Mike Phillips, you are in good company in an honorable profession and you are sorely missed by family and friends. e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

Jeff, Where in the county do they live in the 1880 cens? I find in my atlas of the county 1907 there is a John S. Berry shown in Pomona tsp, sec. 25 & 36. If this is him, it would imply that at least the father survived. I would suggest checking guardianship records of that time frame in both Jackson and Perry Cos for info on these children and why they were fostered or bound out to other families.
