Hi Everyone: Thank you for all the greetings I have received from everyone. No I am not dead and have not run away from home. I have only been busy as a one armed paper hanger this year. This year I have been working for my daughter and her husband in their new credit repair business, then last September my sister's oldest son moved to Albuquerque from Ft Worth and we have gone into the Bean business and have become the "Bean Kings" of the whole world. Next year we will shoot for the title of the Universe. I know the list has died off some but it is not dead it is only dozing, otherwise you would have not sent so many great, warm and totally fun emails. I am well and alive and wish you all a very warm: "MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH, SHALOM, HAPPY KWANZA,_______ (PLEASE INSERT ANY MISSED CHRISTMAS GREETINGS I'M DUMB ENOUGH NOT TO KNOW.) I love all you guys.----Jim

Don't worry Craig, I'll be there, but I'll weep silently.

Dear Mr. Brasher aka JIM: Surely you do not live under the assumption that everyone now living in Virginia has an bushwhacker ancestor. Those unsavory sorts usually came from the border states, especially Missouri. My genteel Virgiana confederates only came to Missouri AFTER the war, as it was considered a much more "CSA friendly" place to live than the Federally occupied, war-zone, devastated, destroyed, burnt to the ground place formerly known as Virginia. As for calling my German ancestors "genteel", that is made me laugh out loud. They never did master proper English or even basic table manners. My anglo-southern father is the one who pounded that into my head as a child. But at making money both by day and by night, those Germans did alright. Good manners and good grammar are no substitute for hard work and determination. So, I hope I can say I bask at least partially in my hybrid condition. Of course, both sides contribute bad attributes, but we don't discuss those HERE.

Sir: Never would I believe you would have such an unsavory personage in your bloodlines as a Virginia bushwhacker, maybe a pick pocket or street mugger, but certainly not a bushwhacker. You are most certainly correct about those unsavory "sorts" who lurked about the borders of our state. But in our defense, you must admit that our ancestors knew how to handle those ruffians, both yours and mine. All I can say is that those ruffians were lucky that my McQuillens had moved from Virginia before the civil started, or they would have caught, "what for." It is funny how strange genealogy is. I have recently discovered more family in Virginia who are related to my father's side. They are two families who came together and produced my grandmother who slipped a Septimus Brown into her lineage, who produced my father and his sister. They are the Ropers and the Sheets. This happened after both families moved from Virginia to North Carolina. The Ropers were hard working Americans with only slight shades of gray tones here and there in their background and my Sheets were hard working men of the cloth. As a matter of fact my gr-gr-gr grandfather, The Reverend David Sheets was a man of the cloth. A fine Baptist Preacher who gathered up the paupers in Wayne county Missouri and started the County Poor farm around 1872, according to the 1880 census. I believe there were eleven of these poor unfortunates at the time living with him during the census. I have since discovered there has been a slip up of morals here and a slip up there, but hey, who am I to criticize? I'm just glad to be alive and well to enjoy the fruits of my labors. Which reminds me; The reason I have not been heard from very much this year is because I have been trying to do two jobs since the first of the year. I have been working in the money business for my daughter and her husband in their newly formed business and since last September I and my nephew have been trying to capture the Bean market in Albuquerque and have almost succeeded. We are regionally known as the the, "Bean Kings," of the world and are shooting for the Universe title. As an aside: You would not believe how many beans it takes to make six tons and I temporarily have no intention of counting them, "Pheww." I must depart for now, I just looked up and discovered my mail box is filling up again. One from a Roper cousin in NC and one from a cousin in St Louis and a number of friends. Talk later.----Jim ------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Brasher aka JIM: Surely you do not live under the assumption that everyone now living in Virginia has an bushwhacker ancestor.

Dear Sir: Black Sheep, activity in illegal and immoral or otherwise unacceptable behavior, salacious tales, hoodlum blood lines? Did I not make it plain that my family associated with only the best of past politicians in St Louis and the state of Missouri? They numbered many state representatives, law enforcement officials, various police officers who made headline news, various Mayors, city councilors, and even a vast group of wardens and jail keepers, as friends and acquaintances. Why; my very grandfather and his brother were welcomed monthly into their places of business and never one time were they ever thrown out while delivering or picking up a certain amount of money. I'm sure you were not implying that my McQuillens were nothing but the finest of citizens of St Louis and were paragons of virtue and truth. Likewise, dear friend, it is great news that you are returned. Perhaps now we can expect the return of our resident cemetery expert, who knows where all the bodies are buried, Bill Buchholz. He too is sorely missed. Fare thee well for now, I shall speak later.----Jim PS: Beware the "Church Lady." She may be listening. ----- Original Message ----- From: Craig Kilby<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 11:04 PM Subject: RE: [MO-STLOUIS-METRO] Query My Dear Mr. Brasher; Yes, 'tis I, the old Mr. Kilby of yore. Odd, I was just responding to an Irish lass named Erin T. Crowe who is a proud member of the rootsweb list "International Society of Black Sheep Society of Genealogists". To join, you must prove ancestor/ancestress activity in illegal and immoral or otherwise unacceptable behaviour. I had just responded to her and recalled to her your very salacious tales of yore regarding your hoodlum blood-lines. Now, as to Ms. Laughlin....yes she was the first ELECTED Veiled Prophet Queen, something her father Judge Laughlin rigged on her behalf....and this was in the, say 1880s. Yes, she married an Italian naval attache and diplomat, later moved to Rome, and there apparently committed suicide. A very sordid story. The St. Louis papers were awash in the details. Nothing like a good society scandal. I regret to learn of late that my contact with this family has been de-linked due to a change in his email address. I will have to find him in Texas again. But I do recall one fabulous fall afternoon with him and his wife picnicking (against all rules) at the cemetery (oh, someone please help me out here, the name escapes me....the "big" one on Kingshighway where all the St. Louis hoo-hahs are buried)--the one next to Cavalry. Between Fee Fee Baptist Church Cemetery and that one above, we put all the peices back in order. It was a great day out with very fun people. I had been under the impression that Mr. Laughlin's wife (the one living in Texas, not the judge) was going to compile all of this, but I don't think she ever did. I still have all of the files and I do recall the nice woman from the City Library asking for such a report (with documentation of course). It would not be fair to give them an exclusive, as much of the data I found came from the MHS. Anyway, Mr. Brasher, so good to hear from you. On a personal note, I am now still living in Virginia but will always enjoy reading about St. Louis and my St. Louis roots.

Just got my MAC G4 desktop out of emergency surgery. My, it is acting a bit differently. But at least (and THANK GOD) all my genie data is salvaged. My best Christmas present right. Second in line for that honor is the book given to me by an Avary cousin in North Carolina, edited by the Queen of Genealogy, Elizabeth Shown Mills, titled "Professional Genealogy". It is THE BIBLE for really serious researchers and lecturers. My News Years resolution is to get my professional certification in order to be placed on the list of "approved" Library of Virginia researchers. It will be a long and arduous process. Once I get the application packet I will have to be thinking of research projects past, present and future to submit for qualification.

Mr Kilby: If none of your direct ancestors were Virginia Bushwhackers, why are you living in Virginia? This seems very suspicious to me.

My Dear Mr. Brasher; Yes, 'tis I, the old Mr. Kilby of yore. Odd, I was just responding to an Irish lass named Erin T. Crowe who is a proud member of the rootsweb list "International Society of Black Sheep Society of Genealogists". To join, you must prove ancestor/ancestress activity in illegal and immoral or otherwise unacceptable behaviour. I had just responded to her and recalled to her your very salacious tales of yore regarding your hoodlum blood-lines. Now, as to Ms. Laughlin....yes she was the first ELECTED Veiled Prophet Queen, something her father Judge Laughlin rigged on her behalf....and this was in the, say 1880s. Yes, she married an Italian naval attache and diplomat, later moved to Rome, and there apparently committed suicide. A very sordid story. The St. Louis papers were awash in the details. Nothing like a good society scandal. I regret to learn of late that my contact with this family has been de-linked due to a change in his email address. I will have to find him in Texas again. But I do recall one fabulous fall afternoon with him and his wife picnicking (against all rules) at the cemetery (oh, someone please help me out here, the name escapes me....the "big" one on Kingshighway where all the St. Louis hoo-hahs are buried)--the one next to Cavalry. Between Fee Fee Baptist Church Cemetery and that one above, we put all the peices back in order. It was a great day out with very fun people. I had been under the impression that Mr. Laughlin's wife (the one living in Texas, not the judge) was going to compile all of this, but I don't think she ever did. I still have all of the files and I do recall the nice woman from the City Library asking for such a report (with documentation of course). It would not be fair to give them an exclusive, as much of the data I found came from the MHS. Anyway, Mr. Brasher, so good to hear from you. On a personal note, I am now still living in Virginia but will always enjoy reading about St. Louis and my St. Louis roots.

Jim Be careful that you don't fill Craig's head - it's big enough - even though there's always enough room for compliments. What a combo - your Irish mafia, Craig's Virginia bushwackers and my good German citizens.

Mr Kilby, Sir: Your name seems to jog a memory in my mind, but being a person of advanced years, I can't quite seem to remember where I have heard the name before. By any chance are you the past author of a very exciting and fine work on one of your ancestors of a few years ago, concerning a young beauty who was at one time elected as a princess or Queen of the Veiled Prophet Parade in St Louis? I seem to remember that this young beauty faced a tragedy in Europe sometime in the late 1890s or early 1900s. Something to do with an attempted assassination of an Arch Duke or a murder of some sort is lodged in my mind. I also seem to remember discussions with Mr Gary Stoltman, another very knowledgeable member of the St Louis Metro list, where both you and Gary revealed many very interesting and valuable facts and figures concerning the history of our fine City. If you are not this fine genealogist of past years, please excuse an old befuddled gentleman of advanced years and excuse my intrusion.----Jim Brasher Pat: Question: Why don't you call them or write to them yourself and find the answers to all of your questions?

Valhalla Cemetery on St. Charles Rock Road does not charge a fee for information. I was there within the last couple of months trying to find the plots for a few folks. The staff was very nice and quick in finding what I was looking for. The cemetery did not appear to be affiliated with any one religion.

There is also a Valhalla Cemetery in Belleville, IL. It is where my mother is buried. Not exactly St. Louis, but basically just across the river. Hope you find the info you're looking for!
