    3. Kathryn, Well I made contact with my cousin. The one killed in this tornado were Jonathan "John" Ingram. He was born about 1871 and died in Mar 1925. He was found holding the baby in his arms. The baby also died. Now there was also his daughters Irma and Wilma that died in this tornado. That was the four from this family were killed. Now the Mother Pearl had a badly broken leg and never healed right. She married Savannas Pickering shortly after the tornado. He son Russell was also hurt but survived. I was told that Pearl and Russell were treated in St Louis. So the name I was looking for would have been Jonathan or John, Irmra, Wilma and the baby. I have not found where there names were recorded.

    3. Hi List, I am hoping that someone might have information on were this family is buried. The father was Jonathan Bowerman Ingram born about 1871 in IL. I have been told he was killed in 1925 tornado along with his two daughters Irma, Wilma and a baby. I was told that John was found dead holding the dead baby in his arms. I have not found their names listed on any sight as being killed in this tornado. I am hoping there might be a cemetery record where they are buried. Irma, Wilma and the baby were all born in Jackson County. I have John on the 1910 and 1920 census. In 1920 he was in Fountain Bluff twp. His wife was Pearl and she had a badly broken leg and later married Savannas Pickering. So if you run across Pearl and Savannas burial info I sure could use that too. Take Care, Jim Smith Collinsville, IL

    3. Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 12 October 2003 Vol 2 Issue: #36 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, Yesterday, out in Southern Illinois, at John Logan College, the Central Illinois Genealogical Society held their annual conference and book fair. Some of my cousins were there and I wanted to be there also. Other activities prevented this, so I moped and pined and cleaned out the garage [prep for winter storing of a car] and cut a rug to fit a room. Chores like these are too much like work and the mind needs diversion ... causing thoughts to wander. And, wander they did ... remembering family and friends of yesteryear. This led to remembrances of the rhymes we chanted or wrote in our autograph books and high school yearbooks. A firm belief of mine is that there shall be no collecting of antiques unless they can be used. Thus, there are few in my home. However, I do have collections ... some are antiques ... Grandpa's railroad watch; cup and saucer from the Bermuda Governor's Mansion; glass china cabinet; Eagle claw table; and sayings from autograph books. "And when long circling years have rolled away and friends departed who are here today, when those whose names this treasured book contains are widely scatter'd o'er earths distant plains, then shall thy mind each former scene unfold and with those friends, a sweet communion hold" --May 12, 1879, Wm H Krippendorf, source unknown Autograph books come fancy and plain. Old 19th Century ones are often velvet covered and gold embossed. In those autograph books the penmanship is absolutely beautiful. Calligraphy is what I would call it. My Great Uncle Lando and his siblings had beautiful handwriting. All those swirls and loops and every letter precise. Grandma Oliver's autograph pages had beautiful little poems and sayings ... in a quaint language from a bygone era. "When joy and gladness fill the heart, when care and sorrow both depart, when all around is mirth and glee, then Dear Carrie, think of me." And, "It would be my wish dear Carrie, through thy way in life, peace and happiness, might be on thee, ever shining, but if that wish be too great, then may this be granted, that every cloud that threatens thee, may have a silver lining." The poetry was great: "Carrie said with smiling look, Lizzie write something in my book. I will comply to your request, and thus by me you are addressed. I wish you happiness and peace, as years roll on, and months increase. And when you reach the distant shore, may you be blessed forevermore." "Like sunshine on a flower, may your path ever be, and may each future hour bring happiness to thee." "Forget me not forget me never, Til yonder sun shall set forever. Forget me not forget me never, And I will be your friend forever." If scribbling in books, Remembrance secures, With the greatest of pleasures, I'll scribble in yours." "I have your album in wich to write Have turned to a page all blank and white On dipping my pen into ink I knit my brows, and try to think. I thought, and thought, and thought in vain And then I concluded to write my name." Sixty years ago the rhymes of my youth were a bit more spirited, sassy even: "Andy Pandy, Mother Goose, I was born, what's your excuse?" "When you get married And live upstairs, Don't come down And borrow my chairs." May your path be strewn With roses, And your kids all have Pug noses." Two liners conveying advice were popular: "When you get married and have twins, Don't come to me for safety pins." "May your life be like a fried egg, ... sunnyside up!" "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou are crunchy and taste good with ketchup." "Always do right. This will gratify many, and astonish the rest." "When you get old, And think you are sweet, Take off your shoes, And smell your feet." There were all sorts of variations on the "Roses are red, ..." verses. The first two lines were always the same, but the last two lines were anything from complimentary to things as unflattering as the imagination could conger. "Roses are red, Violets are blue, You like Sue, So phooey to you." "Roses are red, Violets are blue, I know a donkey, That looks like you." "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Rain on the tin roof, Reminds me of you ... Drip, drip, drip." "Roses are red, Violets are blue, I got rid of my dog ‘cause he looked like you." We were not without sentiment, we just didn't like to show it. We had our better moments: "Yours til' Niagara Falls." May your future be as right as Edison's electric light." "Friends there are of two types, Those I can do without, and you." A couple of years ago I used the following quote: I end this article with one just for you, dear reader ... "A friend like you is just my cup of tea!" Enjoy Columbus Day tomorrow! Courthouses are closed. e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

    3. I think this string of notes refers to the tornado of 27 Mar 1890 and the Tri-State tornado of 18 Mar 1925. Here are some notes from the Jackson County Illinois Trails web site regarding the impact of the 1890 tornado on the family of my g-g-grand uncle, Thomas Jefferson Cross: THE AVA ADVERTISTER EXTRA THE WIND'S WASTE JACKSON COUNTY VISITED BY A DEADLY CYCLONE... Friday, March 28, 1890 A cyclone passed over the northern part of this county on yesterday evening about 4 o'clock, crossing Bradley township traversing in a north-east direction. The first house in the tornado's track was on the farm of WM. C. DEAN sourth-west of Shiloh Hill, known as JACK BURK farm; THEODORE GILLESPIE has the place rented. Mr. GILLISPIE and his little son CALVIN were in the barn at work when the strom struck it they were blown ouside but fortunately escaped without injury. The barn was completely demolished, killing one horse and two mules belonging to MR. DEAN. At the house were MRS. GILLISPIE and the three younger children, the house suffered the same fate as the barn, but here too, the inmates were fortunate enough to come out of the wreck unhurt, with the exception of the hired girl, who had her collar bone broken. The storm traversing a north-east course, next struck the farm of Mr. T. J. CROSS. MR. CROSS saw the funnel like cloud approaching in time to get his family together and get them into the cellar before the force of the tornado struck them. MR. CROSS had a fine large barn demolished and his residence was almost completely torn away; the kitchen was blown down and one side and one end of the house torn out, every vestige of furniture was blown out of the sitting room and the room made as bare as an empty dry goods box. MR. CROSS' loss will amount to several thousand dollars, but he considers himself fortunate in that none of his family were hurt. TWS note: Thomas J. Cross replaced his tornado-demolished farm home with a home that he ordered from a Sears catalogue. This home is still standing. The Tri-State Tornado of 1925 was the most powerful tornado recorded in US history. As the name implies, it swept across three states - Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. Much of Gorham and Murphysboro, IL was swept away. The Jackson County Historical Society in Murphysboro has some amazing photographs of what remained of Murphysboro after the tornado. Many Jackson County residents lost their lives in this storm.

    2. Bill
    3. Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 5 October 2003 Vol 2 Issue: #35 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, I have a respect for the late Sidney Harris, the Chicago Tribune Columnist. I often use a statement of his which I rather like ... "Things I Learned While Looking Up Something Else." While surfing last week I came across a website which thought that "he [Mr Harris] was a really ignorant individual ....." Well, to each his own; however, I often get side-tracked because, like Mr Harris, I have an insatiable appetite for leaning new things. Why, just this week, from a cousin, I learned that one of my ancestors [a female line] possibly had eleven children. At least there were thirteen people living under one roof in 1820 Gallatan County. Well, since writing these few words I came across this: <http://www.rowanstudio.com/greymatter/archives/00001590.htm> which further illustrates these side trips to looking up other things. I went and fixed a cup of tea and read a delightful article. Sidney J. Harris also said, "The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers." Everytime I wonder where I will find something to write about, my varied reading tastes get me a tidbit or more. One of the things that I learned this week while researching other things was found in a technology periodical which illustrated that what goes around comes back around. My Nebraska ancestors, good American utilizers that they were, epitomized "waste not, want not", as I'm sure that yours did. They would go out and collect buffalo "chips" and use them for fuel. A by product of fermented animal dung or corn produces methanol gas. Toshiba has been perfecting a fuel cell to be used to supply power to lap-top/portable computers. These direct methanol fuel cells [DMFC] run on a mixture of methanol and water, generating an average of 12 and a maximum of 20 watts of power. What next?? One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. [-A.A. Milne] This week's article started with a memory of what we did on Saturday night for family entertainment. The druggist and the hardware owner would get out the white sheet and string it between their stores on a side street in their little Michigan town. Others would get out the folding chairs and set them up. The popcorn wagon would be wheeled out onto the corner and someone would begin making popped corn. When it was dark enough we would have a movie which was fit for the whole family. Before movies and popular reading folks had to have stories. Admittedly, before reading, say in the East, the professional story-teller went about from village to village carrying a carpet, which would be spread, sat upon and tales would be told. In merry ole England, the minstrel traveled from community to community singing his tales. Literature and fiction are two kinds of apples. And, literature is a luxury. However, fiction is a necessity. A piece of literature can not be too short because its climax is its merit. A story, on the other hand, can never be too long, for its conclusion leaves an emptiness. Thus, there was no end to Tales of the Arabian Nights, or the Tales of Robin Hood, or tales of the exploits of Daniel Boone. A century and more ago there was a storypaper called Saturday Night. James Elverson published it in 1865. Storypapers were also known as "six-cent weeklies", which was less than "Dime Novels", but much the same thing. These storypapers were designed for the whole family, featuring serialized stories and including poems, humor, sports, current events and fashion. The novels were the first love romances and designed to please the female audiences with the stories devoted to female subjects. These papers were eight pages in size and contained elaborate large front page illustrations. There were smaller pictures inside. Dime Novels gained popularity due to mechanization of printing, railroads which could carry fresh copies long distances, and the fact that literacy was increasing. Today we have the grocery line variety of picture storypapers. Yesteryear dime novels were aimed at young workers and distributed at newsstands and dry good stores everywhere. Dime Novels differentiated themselves from storypapers in that they did not put illustrations on the inside pages; only the front page. And where the storypapers contained material and themes to appeal to the entire family, Dime Novels tended to be more sensational and covered the proverbial Wild West, detective stories, urban outlaws, virtuous narratives centering on the young working woman, and romances. These papers had circulations of 100 to 400 thousand and more. In England storypapers were called penny bloods or penny dreadfuls. I guess because they were dreadful "literature" during the Victorian era, filling the necessity of printed fiction to the ever increasing literacy rate. e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

    3. Hi, This is the clan I was looking for. I was told that Sara Ann Larison had 6 children. The first born was Charles and the last born was Peal. The four in between these two were killed in a tornado before 1900. If it's not too much trouble does these books have other Larison's buried Jackson County? I am not sure it was even in Jackson County that the tornado struck. I have found nothing on line about a tornado prior to 1900 so maybe there is no record. I know this is a shot in the dark. Take Care, Jim Smith
