Randy, I am sorry that you had the accident but I believe that our lives are controlled by God and that anything that happens to us is in accordance with God's will. Sometime in the future you may realize why this happened or maybe not. Never-the-less have faith that this is the will of God. I wish that we still had tomatoes - ours played out about a month ago and I have been planting pinto beans and peas. Next month I will start the cabbage and broccoli for this Fall. Keep canning!

*Special thanks to Marjorie Sherman and Duane Duane Harsell for saving this letter (recently purchased from E-bay) and for this transcription.

They were both grandchildren of Zachariah 'Zechariah' Job and Elizabeth Odell, and gt grandchildren of Moses Job, and gt gt grandchildren of Joshua Job and Margaret MacKay. Due to PLAIN TEXT - some formatting has been lost. Ann (Jobe) Brown Letter written by William Wesley Job Dated January 30, 1860 Addressed to: Elisha T. Robertson Page County, Virginia Hope Mills Post Office Lewis County Missouri January 30th 1860. Dear friend. I take my pen in hand to address a few lines to you. I received your letter in due time, it afforded us much pleasure to hear from you all, it found us all enjoying good health. We are still in the enjoyment of the same blessing. We have had a very mild dry winter but very little snow. Stock has done fine thus far. The wheat I think is all right thus far. The health of the County is tolerably good, all our relations are well. Mr. Middleton Smoot has been sick for some time with the Bronchitas, he thinks he taken cold at the Burial of Henry Brown that caused his illness. We have a great deal of excitement one way and another in Mo. We have a Rail Road project in contemplation to run from Canton Lewis County to Davies County Iowa which seems to engross the attention of the people at this time. Whether it will be built or not I cannot tell. There is so many old fogies among us crying out ruin, ruin, all the time that it puts a dampor on public improvments in our midst. When the College was contemplated these same men cried out Ruin to the Country. But it was built and nobody hurt and is now in successful opperation. When we talked of getting a Bank at Canton a great many said Oh, it can't be done but we have also got a Bank in full Blast yielding a fair per cent above incidental expenses, and so we go. Brother Andrew J. is living in Shelby County this State near the Rail Road from Hannibal to St. Joseph, he has a farm out there. The Balance of them are in this Neighborhood. Mary Ann Job is married. To a man by the name Farr. Uncle Eldad looks old. Uncle Daniel is as gray as a Badger. They both are Babtists. I will now give you the prices of Produce & [ ?] as near as I can. Flour is worth $7.00 per Bbl Wheat per Bus. 1.10 Rye " " .60 Oats " " .40 Corn " " .30 Hay is worth .50 per hundred pound Pork from $5. to $6.25 per cwt Butter " 15 to 18 cts Eggs 10 to 15 per Dozen Horses from $75.00 to $100.00 per head Mules from $100.00 to 200.00 per head Oxen per yoke from $50.00 to $80.00 Milk Cows from $10.00 to $35.00 per head Hogs gross are selling from $4.25 to $5.00 per hundred pounds and in great demand. Our Town is growing up steadily. We have four Schools within less than a mile of us besides the College. Education is one of the leading topics of the day. I like this country better than I used too, though it does not feel like old Virginia yet. Though it is fast improving. The people are making verry strong efforts to get good orchards and fruits of every kind. The stock is fast improving. The fine trotting horses are all the go, it is no uncommon thing to see a Horse that costs Three Thousand Dollars. We have one in Town of the celebrated Red Morgan stock that the owners have refused Twenty Hundred Dollars for. I have one that I raised from the gray mare that I brought out here with me that I suppose I could get $600.00 for. To give you some idea how the world is serving of me I will give you the amount of Taxes that I paid last year $23.00. You may have some curiosity to know what we are doing for the Country in the way of raising up men to fight her Battles. So I will give their names and then you can judge for yourselves. Levi Scott, Amos Lee, Alice, Susanna, Booton, in honor of the Rev. A. C. Booton of Virginia, Ida, and Zachariah in memory of Grand Pa. So you have them. Three of them can read verry well and Scott can read and write and cipher and is learning verry well. I hope you will write to us soon and recolect that anything from there is interesting to us. Give our respects to all inquiring friends and if you see any of my relations give them a shake of the hand for me, tell them that I say I believe that they have forgotten me. So no more now, farewell. Wm. W. Job & Martha A. Job E. T. Robertson and Family __________________________________________ *following notes by Marjorie Sherman (transcriber) NOTES: 1. The address was written on back of folded letter. A date was written twice on back of the letter: June 24th 1860 June 24th 1860 2. Middleton Smoot was a brother of William Smoot who married Phoebe Job in 1820. She was Wm. Wesley Job's aunt. The daughter of Zachariah Job & Elizabeth Odell. 3. The college referred to is Culver-Stockton College, founded in 1853 and still flourishing. It is just a few blocks from Wm. Wesley Job's farm. 4. Mary Ann Job was Wm.Wesley Job's cousin, a daughter of Eldad Job & Elizabeth Edwards. She married Richard Broadwater Farr December 25, 1859 (a month before the letter was written). 5. Eldad Job was 55 years of age when the letter was written. Daniel Job was 49. 6. Wm. Wesley probably intended to write 'Twenty Thousand Dollars', not 'Twenty Hundred' 7. The spelling used in the letter was not corrected.

Patti, If you get some of those photos posted in an album - send us a link so we can view. Any of our other Job(e) cousins being affected? If so, tell us what is happening near you.

Hello from Oklahoma! We are only 20 miles from Coffeyville KS, tho. There was an accident at the oil refinery there and 42,000 gal of oil have spilled into the flood waters. I sure feel for those affected in that city. All communities in this general area are dramatically affected, with record flood levels, the nearest river has the highest levels in 75 years. We had more rain than ever recorded (since 1895) for the month of June in OK. So many roads are impassable and highways are closed in several places. We just got back from driving around to the places we *could* get to, and taking some photos. I was amazed at how many others were out doing the same thing, but guess it is history in the making. We were about 35 miles south of the Coffeyville refinery and we could clearly smell a 'diesel' smell at the Verdigris River. FEMA and the EPA have been out testing the flood waters. The water supply for many towns could be affected, but hopefully it won't be a problem. We are safe here at our house, far enough from any rivers or creeks that we have no danger, thank goodness. But watching the news footage of the hard-hit areas is sure scary and I pray it will soon stop and that no one will be killed. As we looked at some of the roads that had such strong rushing waters covering them, it's not hard to imagine how easily a vehicle could be swept away. Certainly not boring lately, to say the least! xoxo Patti Greetings from KS It began to rain last Tuesday about noon. I was setting having dinner with my Mother and her friends at the nursing home and Bo the house dog (yellow retriver) was outside and began pacing the walk and wanting in, we noticed it got really dark outside and suddenly it cut loose and and heavens opened up and it began to rain and boy did it come down and then after awhile and 2" later it stopped. I left and came home before anymore bad storms built. Later that evening it began to rain, I started keeping track of the rain. It rained all night and all day the next day with some of it very hard. It never stopped, it rained day and night. My first thought was God are we going to have another 40 days and 40 nights? By Thursday evening they had closed the roads to the east of us and by Friday all of Hwy 160 west and east was closed all across our county. We were stranded and I could no longer get to see my Mother. Saturday morning we got 4" in 45 minutes. Our road in front of our house was totally covered and the ditch in front of our house was level with the road. I sent Ann photos of all the flooding around our house. We did fine until Sat and then it rained so hard and so long that our garage began to get water in it. It finally quit raining Monday evening and from Tues last to yesterday we received 27" of rain. I am 58 years old and I have NEVER seen rain like this, especially day and night, it was starting to get depressing and I did not think it was every going to quit. Yesterday the roads opened up and I was finally able to go see my Mom today. Now the mowing begins and we only have one day to do it as it is suppose to start raining again Wed and rain the rest of the week. So here we go again!! We are going to mow here tonight and then tomorrow I will go to Sedan and mow my Mom's place, thank goodness it is a small hard and I have a self-propelled push mopwer to sue. Freida

We have received a LOT of rain. Three weeks ago I began keeping a mental note about how much we received but after a couple of days and 12 inches, I dumped the gauge and just let it fill and overflow. We live on a nice sand hill and have sandy soil and sandstone roads so we don't have any trouble at all - in fact I can plow in 15 minutes after a heavy rain. Our crops, melons and winter squash and pumpkins are doing well. I am concerned about everyone because I have been there before many times. I am hoping for some dry weather for everyone very soon.

If so, please write me Ann (Jobe) Brown - ann@personainternet.com If has recently come to my attention the John Job who married Priscilla Young FEb 20, 1826 lawrence Co., Ky and the John 'Jonathan' Jobe who married Mahalah. Jane Castle about 1839/1841 and went to Adams Co., Ohio could very well be the same person. I do now now that Mahala Jane Castle was m/1 to William Harrison Young - a brother to Priscillia Young. By 1840, John Job and Priscillia had seperated. I'm also looking for something to prove the parents of Sarah A. Jobe on this census.
