Aloha, Mary Ann Kaylor...thanks for posting this reply to the list! Bob Awe and I are 3rd cousins (KORTUM/CORDUM) and I live in Hawaii. Wonder if there was a mix up on Mary Anns? I'm not connected to the famous football game, just tried to Google the source of the information for proof. Happy to hear that Bob's father might have been involved because I am a huge football fan...high school/college and NFL!

While working on a special project, I have come across between 20 and 30 listings in the MO Death Index 1910-1955 which were indexed as Dunklin Co MO deaths but the certicates showed the death in another county (mostly at the state hospital in Fulton, Callaway, MO). Knowing that these misindexed certificates may prevent someone from finding a relative, I sent a list which consisted of the person's name as shown in the index, the death county and the certificate number to the Archives Reference email address given on the opening page of the index. I received a reply saying that the index will be corrected, however, the reply also noted that the Archives used a paper index which was produced by the MO Bureau of Vital Statistics. So please don't blame the Archives as they trusted the BVS. In closing, don't disregard a death certificate which shows the death in another county - look at it. If you find that it's been misindexed, please forward the information to the Archives Reference area and help others as you would want them to do in return.

A 233-0 high school football score would not be allowed today, at least in Southern California (CIF). Linda Arnold Menifee, California

Hope this helps someone. I was just at the web site - AncientFaces.com - did a search on "Macoupin" and came up with 10 entries. Some surnames - Ethal, Van Bebber, Cook, Sharp, Brown, Belevins and Van Cleve. Happy Hunting, Kathie

Hi Mary Ann, Just back from spending two wonderful weeks in Hawaii, and saw this e-mail. A couple of other tidbits: I believe my father played on that team (he would have been 17 that year and I know he played football at Staunton High). Staunton had a powerhouse that year and unfortunately for Gillespie, this was their first year to field a team - with predictable results! Bob Awe [email protected]

I have always heard the score was Staunton 223, Gillespie 0. It was supposed to be a JV game and Gillespie showed up with their freshmen/sophmores and Staunton had their varsity team and refused to play the JV squad against Gillespie. In addition, Staunton had a very good team that year and the result was predictable. I don't know how true it was but I always heard that these coal miniing towns in Macoupin were a little loose with their eligibility for players in those days. Some of the players would work in the mines and then show up to play in the football game later. I'm not saying this was true, just what I used to hear when I lived in Gillespie. It would be interesting to find out if this was really the case. On 12/27/06, Chuck & Cindy Leonard <[email protected]> wrote: > > The score was Staunton 233; Gillespie 0.

The score was Staunton 233; Gillespie 0. I didn't read the whole article. This information made the first edition of The Book of Lists.

I think the webpage is incorrect. My father was on that team in Staunton and the Staunton team beat Gillespie by that amount which is the reverse of what the webpage stated. Sorry. Barbara & Gary Hoffstetter

Just did a quick search on "The Google" and found this on url: http://www.ihsa.org/initiatives/hstoric/football_new.htm<http://www.ihsa.org/initiatives/hstoric/football_new.htm> As the decade of the 1920s unfolded, the sport of high school football continued to grow in popularity as many Illinois schools began their programs during that period. One state record which will probably never be broken was set during this time, in 1923, when Staunton piled up a 233-0 win over Gillespie, as George Oehler scored ten touchdowns. The lopsided win by the Bulldogs capped off their 10-0-0 season, during which they out-scored their opposition 494 points to 23. Don't know how official this is, but...

I interviewed Howard Meyer who was youngster at the time of this game and wrote an article about this game. I'll have to find it and share his version of this game. Needless to say, what a score.

Even though there may be individuals living that can remember events from 1923, I doubt if anyone wants to acknowledge a known fact that many will find somewhat shocking in the football history of Macoupin Co IL. There is a website "Your Hometown" which has interesting facts about towns in every state. The website's address - (http://www.yourhometown.org/). While looking at the Illinois page, I happen to come across an entry for Staunton. Don't know why this entry wasn't under Gillespie too, but here it is - "Gillespie High beat Staunton High, 233-0 in Football in 1923."

I got a response from Dee this AM, Gloria. The only problem is that she have a different P&H cost from what was posted back on Nov 20. Sigh! Marti Thanks for getting her to respond. She said she'd been having problems with her e-mail. . . .

Missi, Thank you for your kind offer to look up someone for me. I actually have found the people I was looking for and saved the images. Ancestry.Comfrequently send me a two week free offer and I usually take that time to look up things. Thanks again for the offer.

If Dee Snell is still on the list or if someone is in contact with her, please relay this msg to her for Marti. Thanks. gf From: [email protected] Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2006 08:36:44 EST Subject: Macoupin Message Board To: [email protected] Dear Gloria, I sent a message to Dee at [email protected] back on Nov 17 and again on Dec 4 about the new Tombstone Revelations book, but I haven't received an answer. Perhaps the message is lost somewhere in cyberspace. Anyway, here's a repeat: I do hope the new sectional publications are making corrections as well as additions. My gt-grandfather's sister, Amanda Jane Baldwin Gibson, "consort of Is[h]am Gibson," was born 3 Feb 1847, not 1817. She's in the Virden Cemetery and shares an obelisk with her parents, William Crooks and Cyrena (Dalton) Baldwin. IF the correction has been made, I'd be interested in the book; I have LOTS of folks in the Virden Cemetery! Marti (Baldwin) Swanson

I missed something. I didn't see any digest msgs. I did see Mary Ann trying to give a correct url for a site and I know what she means when she has to keep correcting when you try it yourself and the one you think should work just doesn't work. She went thru about 4 tries and that is minimal for some of these websites. Try to find a needle takes a few attempts. Gloria At 12:26 PM 12/18/2006, you wrote: >Just curious.
