The William Walter SMITH referenced by Loretta was born in Jackson County, IL abut Jan 1875 (the son of George Washington SMITH and Margaret Ellen MAY). On 10 Jan 1897, he married Ella/Della CRIPPS, and their son Delbert W. SMITH was born in Jackson County, IL in August 1899. http://www.tomshawcross.blogspot.com http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=shawcross&id=I53 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Lentz" <rlentzhsd@earthlink.net> To: <iljackso@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 7:22 PM Subject: Re: [ILJACKSO] Walter & Anita M.

Thanks Loretta, I haven't "dug" into the Smith side of this marriage, and I don't have any information on this Walter. A little more info is that the these two moved to Springfield, Ill. after earning law degrees at The University of Illinois in Champagne. Also, the Smith family attended the First Baptist Church in Murphysboro. If there is more one I don't know which. That's as much as I know at this point.

Thanks Randy, I looked at this census, but it didn't "seem" to fit the family rumors. That is the reason I was looking at a marriage record for some confirmation. Like, her ggrandfather was a brother to my ancestor Jesse Crite down in Alexander and Union Counties, and was Belle Crite's cousin. This 1930 census shows an Anita as the wife of a Crite in Alexander.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles eduda tsunogisdi © Bill Oliver 15 October 2006 Vol 5 Issue: #33 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt We Americans are a mixed lot in more ways than one. We are a people who challenged authority when we deemed they were wrong. We are a people who propose that arming teachers and administrators would avoid school shootings tragedies. We are a people so intent on monetary profits that we will outsource our industries cutting off our own work force. And, yet we are a nation so benevolent that we drop all differences during crisis. We are a people that took land away from others, yet have always helped each other build communities. The first pioneers came in groups and worked with each other to raise shelters, clear fields for planting, shared starter livestock and then did the same to newcomers. Sometime in the 1830s, a branch of my family moved from Tennessee to southern Illinois. This wasn’t the first move they made. The older brother was born in Virginia; the younger brother was born in North Carolina. Their children were born in Tennessee [we think]. In southern Illinois there is evidence that the older brother’s “place” was the community “center”, for his house was the first meeting place for the church that these brothers organized. Thus, in my minds eye, I envision this set of families first coming together to build the older brother’s place, and then moved on to the younger brother’s place. It may have been even a tighter community, for there is some evidence that a third brother and other Tennessee neighbors migrated with these two brothers. This community helping spirit fostered needed social events. The coming together to “raise barns” and harvest crops are events that many of us can remember experiencing. The call would be spread in gathering places such as church and town stores that so-and-so would harvest his crops on such-and-such day and all were invited. As a youngster I didn’t know how it all got organized, but it sure seemed to come off without hitches. Some folks brought saw horses, others brought doors to lay across them, everyone brought food – meats, breads, vegetables, potatoes and yams, cakes and pies, milk, coffee and tea. One would think it was Thanksgiving. All came early and the work would begin. By noon the meal was ready and the men would stop their work long enough to eat and tell stories before returning to the task at hand. This entire county was built this way as communities would leap frog from east to west. It embodies the selfless need for a team effort to accomplish a difficult or formidable task for the good of an individual, a family or a community. In barn raising, there was a great deal of preparation. Barns were, well into the 20th century, of timber frame. This preparation was the responsibility of the individual farmer and traditionally done during the colder months when there was more time to spare by the helping neighbors. The lumber harvested was primarily hand hewn timbers coming from the farmers own woods. Until one hit the plains, old growth forests held numerous trees with long narrow tapers and very dense growth rings. This facilitated the conversion from log to beam. Often farmers became so skilled that the surfaces were smooth enough to fool a person into believing it was mill saw’n. However, the fashioning of the frame was often done by a “craftsman” called a carpenter/joiner. Before a frame could be put up, the foundation had to be prepared. Large boulders, called plint stones, with other stones, were laid to form the foundation. These were all laid up dry until the late 1800s, early 1900s. The sills and floor joists were assembled prior to the calling of a “raising crew”. White oak and chestnut woods were used if available. If a community wasn’t brand new, a “calling” probably wasn’t very difficult because there were sufficient numbers of people to do the various jobs necessary. As intimated above, families worked together for a variety of purposes. Years of necessity and tradition enabled people to come together for common causes. It wasn’t all work and no play; these "work fests" also filled a social need. One didn’t usually spend leisurely hours visiting. As mentioned, entire families would descend upon the chosen site. Women came to prepare meals for the raising crew. Young children would frolic about with other young children. Older girls and boys would start filling their roles in this drama of community effort. Of course, weather had to co-operate. The first bent [a transverse framework to carry lateral and vertical loads] was very important. It required the coordination of hands lifting the timbers while other hands stood ready to jab their pike [spiked] poles for the vertical launch. Timbers were usually pegged together and with two bents in place progress was made with a bit more confidence. Depending upon the size of the barn the number of bents could be as many as seven or eight. When the bents were in place, scaffolding was then laid across the top to provide a platform for raising the “plates”. When the frame was complete rafters would be set in place and the task was finished. The goal was to have the frame standing by the end of the day, as devoting more from their own work and chores for two days in a row would be difficult for anyone. If the frame came together without mishap or mistakes and there wasn't a late afternoon thunderstorm, its completion would be cause for social festivities. I often think of the respect our Native Americans had for all of nature and their prayers of preparation of the hunt, asking the intended game to forgive the necessity of killing them. In barn raising there is a tradition of nailing a green bough to the frame by the master carpenter or owner/farmer. This is traced back many centuries signifying homage to the forest from which the frame has come. With the work completed it would be time to eat, the work of the women that afternoon would be consumed with an exuberance equal to the work involved in raising the frame itself. Very often barn dancing into the late evening would climax the day's work. A quote in my local newspaper’s political page set me to thinking about these things this week. “The biggest difference is not between Democrats and Republicans. It’s between all of us and the Amish. May God help us.” [JoAnn Crouch-The Blade Editorial Page, 11 Oct 2006] These words brought to mind that the entire community surrounding the recent tragedy in Pennsylvania mourned – Amish and non-Amish. Here is a community deep in sorrow that resisted the zeal of an “eye for an eye”. Plus, today the wife of the man that caused the tragedy "thanks" the Amish community for their forgiveness. This, among the other differences in our people, is why my country stands tall. e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

I sent the Jackson County Historical society a photograph of my grandmother's family posed on a snow coveerd street. Supposedly it was taken when there was a freak 4th of July snow storm in Murphysboro. They are not wearing coats so it probably wasn't really winter but there is definitely snow on the ground. Does anyone know what year that 4th of July snow storm occurred? Surely it would have been in the newspaper. It had to be before 1919 I think as one of the persons in the photograph died in June of 1919. Thank you. Shirley Maul Poughkeepsie, NY

My grandmother Clara Armm was born on the Wilson farm at Kincaid Hill in 1885. The family John and Clara Armm then moved to Murphysboro where he was a carpenter. They lived on 11th Street there. There were nine children in the family and the mother Clara taught piano as well as raised the children. My grandmother went to Murphysboro public schools but switched to a German school after sixth grade so sometime in the mid 1890s. Does anyone know what German School there may have been and what became of it and its records? I have been told John Armm was on the public School Board in Mt. Pleasant in 1885 but I have no other hint that he served on any other school boards. I don't know what church they attended but I gather German schools were often attached to German speaking churches. The Armm family was originally Swiss and I think the family of Clara Wilson Armm, the Wilson's, was English. Thank you. Shirley Maul Poughkeepsie, NY

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois © Bill Oliver 08 October 2006 Vol 5 Issue: #32 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt "Changes in Reading" This past week I received an e-mail inquiring if a cousin had my correct new e-mail address. I wrote back affirming that it was correct and told her to try it again. What I failed to notice was the ISP extension; a difference of dotnet vs dotcom. When I read her message I brought to that message what I wanted to see. Thus, I did not notice the difference. In fact I was probably the one that made the original error – after all, we use both so often. We often do the same thing in proof reading our writings. We know what we wanted to say and therefore read our writing as if it is there. In fact in all reading we bring to that reading all our experiences and read the written words the way we want them. Our children and most adults know almost nothing about history or geography. We and they cannot identify the state capitals. We cannot relate to any news item if we cannot identify it and locate it on our mental maps. The news is meaningless, unless we can relate it to our base or first hand knowledge. College freshmen are basically historically illiterate and seniors only slightly better with some knowing less than the freshmen. These folk do not have amnesia [historical amnesia]. One has to know something to be able to forget it. Therefore, they don’t have historical amnesia, but rather historical ignorance. Ask yourself, who followed Abraham Lincoln in the presidency? Ullysses S. Grant, right? And, if you don’t know, you can Gooogle it in seconds, so why do you need to know it? Well, there is much more to the understanding of history than mere facts. Facts are just the raw materials not fine tempered steel. To understand and know history requires study. For example, historical knowledge shows how governments were created [or overthrown], how forces gain strength and wain. Leaders need knowledge to exert responsible citizenship. “We hold these truths to be self evident ...”. What truths; where did that come from? It is deplorable when Ivy League college graduates lose 7.3 percentage points in historical literacy between their freshman and senior years. It is not old fashioned to expect people to know something about the writings that they read. Is it because we are so future oriented that we no longer utilize the past. Our future threats may well depend on our perception(s) of our past. Reading is more important today that it has ever been. Don’t be lulled into thinking that our technology will decrease the need to read. There is more opportunity to access text than every before in history – specialty magazines, books, newspapers and articles are on the increase, both on and off the internet. Before cable television, videos, iPods, etc, reading was a national pastime. Folks [and children] spent hours reading books. They used their imaginations and learned. With technology we have lost both the skill and passion to read. Good readers understand sentences and organizational structure of/in writing. They comprehend ideas, dice arguments, and detect implications. The have vocabulary, but can determine meaning from context. [Of course, also, there is the dictionary.] WordSmiths are usually good readers. Egalitarians must be dancing in the streets to read statistics that illustrate a decline in reading literature occurs across all ages, sexes, races, and ethnic heritage. A child being read to, in a matter of seconds, utilizes thousands of cells triggered by this experience. Existing connections in the brain are strengthened and as new cells form more definition and complexity is added to the circuitry which will stand in place for the rest of the person’s life. “I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.” This is a tough statement out of context. However, knowing who said it brings meaning, if you are well founded in reading and literature. What do you think about it – just reading it? Now what do you think about it, knowing that Gandhi said it? The audience, those receiving the broadcasting of the ‘media’, listened in isolation from one another. That is changing. The ‘little’ First Amendment machines, extend freedom of the press to more actors – they are the blogs. Once the radio/tv stations broadcasted to us – now podcasting gives us the radio and folks find uses only the imagination limits. I have been guilty of reading and brought to that reading so much of my own personal experience that the words I read had no relation to what my mind was imagining. That is being really lost in your reading. When I was an early teenager reading the Leatherstocking Tales I was there in the forests placing each footstep carefully so as not to make a sound. Oh, by the way, Grant did not follow Lincoln to the Presidency, it was Andrew Johnson. <grin> e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

This is a kind of an off the wall question but here goes. Going back to Charles F. Stout. Years ago I use to hunt on the property of Russell Stout. His farm was up the road near Wayside in Jackson County. Is, or should I say, was he related to Charles? Rus passed away several years ago. Any one know the lineage? Could it be the same?

Hi List, I have been up in GCSP several time and have seen an area where there are several tomb stones and a fenced in plot, with a marker, for a young boy (if memory serves me). This would be a portion along the riding trail across Giant City Road from the stable. Does anyone know anything about these graves or this burial plot? Does it have a name? Maybe some local folk lore? Look forward to some interesting stuff.

Bobbie, You might wish to ask the county historical society to check for a marriage license (back side of the certificate) for these two. For a period of time around 1895 the practice in Jackson County was to fill out a form with lots of good family history info---age, place of birth, names of parents including maiden names, etc. Good luck, Juli Claussen ----- Original Message ----- From: bobbie bryant To: iljackso-l@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 11:23 AM Subject: [ILJACKSO] Charles F Stout & Amanda B Garrett I am looking for information on this couple.
