Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois © Bill Oliver 16 April 2006 Vol 5 Issue: #15 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, As a young student attending “Sunday School” it was a common practice to memorize Bible verses and getting before you class to recite them. I often wondered who had the idea first; Sunday School Teachers or Public School Teachers? In public school it was very common for a teacher to assign students to memorize a poem and recite it to the class. Some teachers added onto the task the idea that upon reciting the poem before ones’ peers, we then had to explain “the” meaning of the words we recited. One such poem that has stayed with me for nearly a decade beyond a half century begins: “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall, ...” – Robert Frost [Mending Wall] In the spring New England neighbors would get together and walk their border wall repairing the “gaps” where they have “left not one stone on a stone,” ... “There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors’. Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder If I could put a notion in his head: ‘Why do they make good neighbors?’ Isn’t it Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. Before I built a wall I’d ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offence. [sic]” We are all probably aware that in the British Isles and New England stone walls are familiar things. Personally I have never had to live where they existed and it would seem to me to be a daunting and tiring task. I’ve a little experience with wire fences and cedar posts. Way back in the fog of childhood memories, I remember Uncle Tim’s farm where he still used horses even though he owned mechanized machines. Uncle Tim had an orchard which included hard red juicy [delicious] apples, and pears. Those horses would smell the sweet fruit and do everything they could to get through the wire and rail fence to gorge themselves [and get sick]. Driving across this wide country; across the plains and mountains, fences are seen everywhere. Low fences and high fences. Some to keep deer and elk off the highways. Fences of barbed wire, probably no longer needed, but testifying to one farmer/rancher sectioning off his barren land from another’s barren land. Fences continue to exist yet today in many parts of the world. Those created out of political conflict and fear quickly come to mind: between North and South Korea, between Israel and Palestinian settlements. A few years ago there was a very tall wall between the Berlins. And, wow, what about the Great Wall of China which still stands today. These are all testimony to the lengths to which we humans will go to barricade ourselves off from others. Though there are fewer horses to keep out of our orchards and no elk to protect from our busy Interstate traffic, those fences we still have are blown over in high winds, have trees fallen over them or are overgrown with brush and wild blackberries – they need repairing. Why? Because fences, like rules and laws, define a state of order and structure. If they are breached, or broken, they become hazardous. Removing them altogether and we lose that order and structure. So in the best of times we mend the walls out of need for contact with our neighbors. We reach across the wall [barriers] to shake hands and visit while we repair the wall; else we fortify and hide behind the wall, widening, increasing their height, creating the gulfs between us. Eventually we lose touch and the walls deteriorate naturally without the mutual “mending”. At least that is what I said when I was a “tad of a lad” explaining the Poem of Robert Frost titled “Mending Wall”. Is this so different from the neighbor whose barn was burned when struck by lightning and the next day the entire community turned up together “raising” the barn. A remarkable testimony to the wonderful spirit and credo that neighbors help neighbors in times of need. “Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are, than we had supposed.” — William James, American philosopher and psychologist There is a story at <http://journal.maine.com/lore/loonalone/20030206001232.html> describing how the town of Wayne, Maine reacted due to an ice storm -- Neighbor helping neighbor. We all have stories of our neighbors helping us in times of need, or us helping them. Recently one of our family members suffered a mild heart attack. She reported to us that friends and neighbors furnished meals for the duration of her recuperation [a couple of weeks anyway]. There is something special and rewarding about helping each other in times of crisis, and this is a hallmark trait of our nation’s people. In my reading this week, I came across what I think is something we never think about in this Neighbor helping Neighbor idea. There's no formal neighborhood watch program in their community, but fiddler crabs in Australia know a thing or two about preserving a safe place to live. Scientists have found that when an "outsider" male threatens to take over another male's burrow, nearby residents help their neighbor defend his territory, especially if the neighbor is smaller than the intruder.

Was he a son of Wm Simpson? Dec 17, 1891 · Simpson: John M. Simpson, founder of Simpson, IL was called to his door Tuesday morning by Old man Dixon, his son, Charles, Henry Jones and Goin Harris, three tough boys of this neighborhood. He had just returned from Metropolis on the morning train and walked into his house at Simpson Mineral Springs, 3 miles northeast of town, when the miscreants called him out, and after a few words shot him down in cold blood. The difficulty all grew out of his endeavor to keep order at the gatherings at the school house near his house. These boys have been terrorizing their neighborhood for some time in connection with others and now have crowned their infamy by the most cowardly murder ever committed in Johnson County. May they meet the reward of their ill deeds they so richly merit. Obit next week.

Just yesterday I found a 'White' from Johnson Co., IL.... don't suppose it'll tie into your line, but you might know of them.... I found a divorce record for Mary I [or E] White McIntosh. It was in 1884... she said she was married to Joseph A. McIntosh 8 Aug 1881... they lived together till 31 Oct 1881... that he left two years ago... etc. etc. It says her father was Hosah [Hosey] White, mother, Mariah Moler. BUT I do not find a Hosah White....in the 1870 census.... there is a John G. White, age 31 farmer b. TN, his wife is Nancy.... b. KY....we also find that the marriage record says his name was Joseph A. McIntosh.... that his father was Geo. T. McIntosh from Todd Co., KY Just thought I'd give you something to figure out for me!!! I'm very interested in the McIntosh name from Todd Co., KY - then to IL by 1860 Good luck with your research. Louise
