JOHNSTON: [99_Jarboe.FTW] Excerpts from the "St. Paul Annals" published in 1942 Journal, June 21, 1923 John A. Johnston, the well-known stock farmer near South Mond, died Monday. Age 75 years. Bio in "History of Neosho and Wilson Counties" published in 1902 JOHN A. JOHNSTON--One of the early settlers of Lincoln township, Neosho county, was he whose name heads this article. He was a young man of twenty years when he accompanied his parents hither from Grayson county, Kentucky, where he was born on October 22, 1847. He is one of a family of six sons and three daughters, children of Absolom and Mary E. (Thomas) Johnston. The father was born in Virginia in 1800 and came, as a child, into Kentucky where he was reared and married, and resided till his departure for Kansas in 1867. Absolom Johnston was one of the splendid characters of Neosho county. He was gentle, kind and obliging and died in September, 1881, without having an enemy in the county. He and his matronly wife who died in April, 1882, reared a family of nine children, our subject being the youngest of the group. John A. Johnston preempted a claim in Neosho county and secured his patent from the government. He prospered at farming and in 1880 engaged in the shipping of stock, which business has grown from the most modest handing of the marketable stock over a wide extent of territory. The little village of South Mound is his shipping point and much of the prominence of the place results from the business which he brings to it. Since 1875 he has resided one and one-half miles north of town where he accumulated an estate of a section and one-half of land. Two quarter sections of this he has set off to two children, leaving him with a square farm of six hundred and forty acres, one of the valuable tracts of Lincoln township. August 8, 1876, Mr. Johnston married Teresa Speake, a daughter of William and Mary (Eads) Speake and the eighth birth of their eleven children. She was born in Grayson county, Kentucky, January 1, 1852, and six years later her mother died. The family afterward moved to Sangamon county, Illinois, then to Bates county, Missouri, and, in 1867, to Neosho county, Kansas. Here Mr. Speake was prominent as a farmer and died in 1873. Of Mr. and Mrs. Johnston's family of seven children, six survive, as follows. Fred, Charles Roy, Paul Bertram, Frances A., Stella, and John and Omer. Mr. Johnston possesses in a great measure, the popular personal traits of his distinquished father. He is bound to the world by ties of human sympathy and the measure of it is felt in the kind acts and worthy deeds emanating from his brain. He came to the county poor and the accumulations of thirty-five years have marked him as one of the safe and successful business men of Neosho county.

Hello: I have had many postings on many lists for above referenced information. Some have been irritated, Some have been interested, some had never heard of it, and many have offerred me much good information. Many have asked me to post what I find out.This posting is in response to those requests that I post My info. The U S Congress, in May of 1790, proclaimed the territory formerly claimed by North Carolina, That area which is today known as all of Tennessee, Northern Ga, Northern Alabama, and all of Mississippi, as THE TERRITORY OF US SOUTH OF THE RIVER OHIO. aka SOUTHWEST TERRITORY. The Rangers were formed in 1790, and served until 1796, when Tennessee became a state. At that time, the remainder became the TERRITORY of MISSISSIPPI The Rangers were apparently an organization which patrolled, and generally made themselves "useful". Apparently simular to a State Militia. This is all that I have found out at this time. I have received many helpful hints, and suggestions. For these I am very grateful. I am still looking for definite information on George NUTTERFIELD, who enlisted in Lt Walkers company of Rangers in 1792. I have received information from a lady who has a book on the Rangers, and does show George listed. I will keep you updated. Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

JOHN WESLEY JARBOE and Mary Frances (Henninger) Jarboe lived on a farm on Long Lick Creek for twenty years. They had eleven children and attended Pleasant Hill Methodist Church ,,,, McDaniels, Kentucky Mary was born October 19, 1850, daughter of Harry Harrison Henninger and Celia (Brown) Henninger. On March 27, 1890 a cyclone destroyed their home and killed Mary who had given birth to their last child two days before. The following is copied from The Breckinridge News,' Cloverport, Kentucky, March 27, 1940- FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY A GREAT CYCLONE HIT BRECKINRIDGE COUNTY: THREE I PERSONS WERE KILLED Half a century has passed since the great cyclone of 1890 swept over Breckinridge County. Several students of Breekinridge County High School have collected some interesting data on this great tragedy which after fifty years remains a vivid memory for those whose lives it touched. The following report was given to Kathryn Lawson by her grandfather, Rev. Henry J. Jarboe, who witnessed the Cyclone of 1890 and whose mother was killed. On the 27th of March in 1890 there occurred in the neighborhood of McDaniels and Axtel one of the worst cyclones that has ever been known to pass through Breckenridge County. It destroyed all in its path which ranged from a few yards to several hundred yards. There was a heavy hail before and after the cyclone passed. The "Twister" as it was called destroyed many homes and buildings and several lives. The first place it was known to strike in Breckinridge County was on the Tanner farm a few miles from McDaniels. On this farm it destroyed a lot of timber and several log buildings. It next struck James T Jarboe's farm, a few miles farther north, where it destroyed all buildings except his dwelling house. Then it struck the home of John Wesley Jarboe where occurred one of the great tragedies of the Neighborhood. MOTHER OF INFANT BABY KILLED All stricken homes were tragic but this one particularly so because the mother of a two-day-old baby (ten other children) was killed by stones which fell from the chimney as the house was torn apart. Mrs. Jarboe was lying in front of the wide fire-place that was located on one side of the room. The smaller children were all standing at the window watching the hail beat against the pane and the wind bend the trees low. The trees could be heard falling in the nearby woods. The wind was so strong that it blew open the front door. Frank, one of the oldest boys, went to close the door. Mrs. Jarboe had told the children to come away from the window. At just that moment there was heard a great roaring as the children were pushed under a bed in a far corner. The door was blown past Mr. Jarboe and the whole house top was lifted from its foundation. Mattie had the baby, Lillie Mae, whom she threw on the bed as a rafter struck her across the back. She was left unconscious. The upper part of the chimney was blown down through the roof of the house where it completely covered Mrs. Jarboe and her oldest daughter, Alice. This all happened in only a few seconds but to the victims it seemed ages. Mr. Jarboe, who was not seriously injured, although he had been hit by falling joists, began to search for his family. Before he could see if all were there some cotton which had been stored in a room upstairs had blown down into the fire and out into the room, scattering fire about the rooms, and if Mr. Jarboe had not been quick enough to put out the fire the whole building would have gone up in flames. MRS. JARBOE KILLED INSTANTLY Mrs. Jarboe was instantly killed as there were 2 fragments of rocks which had pierced her skull. Alice was not seriously injured, although she was pressed flat by the heavy stones. She had nearly smothered because the rocks had kept her from breathing. A doctor was immediately called to care for the injured. He said that Frank Jarboe would not live more than five years as he was hit in the back of the head with a rock, but this proved to be untrue for he is still alive today. Alice had nerve in her face affected so as to cause one eye to jerk. These were the injuries besides cuts and bruises. When the children were moved to their uncles, James and Will Jarboes' homes, their hair was so stiff with mud that their heads looked like mud cakes. It was said that the cyclone had sucked up the water and mud as it crossed over the creek. Jarboe and his children resided at his brothers' until the house could be rebuilt. The baby was taken by her aunt and kept until she was three years of age. When the barns were examined they were totally destroyed. Mr. Jarboe had an orchard that had been planted only a few years before which was destroyed for the most part. One tree had a rail driven through it which eight men could not pull out . Another home destroyed was that of Mr. Jim Pearl, who lived on James Jarboe's Their house had blown down and burned but all had escaped unhurt. After the storm had passed they came to Mr. Jarboe's for some clothes. Mrs. James Jarboe went to a closet to get some clothing and found the closet in flames. MENS HAIR TURNED GRAY FROM SHOCK Mr. John W. Jarboe was so overcome with shock and grief that his hair turned gray only a few months after the cyclone. He realized that his children were not only motherless but homeless and he had a task before him, which he had to perform with God ' s help. Soon after the cyclone, John W sold the farm and bought the Coomes farm just a cross Long Lick Creek. He lived there until his death twenty-three years later. His oldest daughter, Alice, assumed the role of mother and raised the other children. All the family worked on the farm and the operation was successful. They acquired more land, 1500 acres in all. In 1901, Ernest, the youngest son, died of pneumonia. He was buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery next to his mother. In later life, after the children had all married and the land had been divided up, John W lived with his oldest daughter and her husband, Yen McClellan, near the Coomes house. John W died of pneumonia in 1913 at the age of 71 and was buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. John W was active in getting the Sand Knob Methodist Church built, giving the land for the church and cemetery. The church was completed a year before he died. His oldest son, Henry, was a Methodist preacher.

I have quite a few of the books which have short excerpts from old newspapers. If I wanted to post some of them the way you do your journal would I be breaking any kind of copyright laws. Some of them are so interesting and they cover so many families in Daviess County. Could you please advise if you know as I would love to share these. Do not want to break any rules.

Does anyone know who or what The Davidson County Rangers were. Does anyone know who and what Lieut Walkers Rangers were. Both are shown as for The territory South of The Ohio, so Iassume they were a band of Peace keepers or Indian Fighters due the time period. I am seeking information on a George NUTTERFIELD who signed on as a private in 1792. Where were they formed? Where did they recruit. I do know that George settled in Shelby Co, Ky as early as 1790. I am seeking any information. George is shown on FTM records as Revolutionary War 1780-1789, but, the only record I have, so far is with the 2 above units. I asume that the Davidson County referred is Davidson County Tn, as I dont know of another at that time. Or, it could have been the home of Lt Walker. I have tried Ky archives and Nashville archives, But, my experience is very Limited on records like these, so I probably didnt do it right.I have been seeking info on George for about 30 years, so, naturally, I would be thrilled and appreciative for any info.George is also shown as George NUTTERFEE/NUTTER, on various records, and married Nancy Stepp McWilliams June 1804 in Shelby Co Ky.

Where can I find difinitive information on the organization and on the personnel. Any help appreciated. How do I proceed on the NARA information? Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

List Readers, I am new to your list and need help with the above surname. My great uncle (Father Aloysius Meyering) was the pastor at the Church of St. Anthony in Browns Valley near Owensboro for many years. I have his obit in 1940. I think there have been other MEYERING/MEIERINGS in either Louisville or in Daviess County and would appreciate someone checking any cemetery survey books, or vital record indexes to see if there are any MEYERING/MEIERING names. I can't help wondering who they were and if they might have gone there because he was assigned there. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much. Joan Marie in Oregon
