Fran, one of my cousins who doesn't have the internet, but we talk by phone had told be that she thought Hiram Shockley was in the StLouis area..."where the three rivers meet". I don't know anything about StLouis. But I do know there are rivers all over Missouri and that could be anywhere. James, I've looked at the records I have and find the following: Lafayette, County, Missouri Marriage Records, Book D Hiram Shockley to J.W.R. Moore, at the residence of Jesse Moore, 10 Jan. 1850, H.J.V. Reed, P. My Hiram Shockley also purchased land in Warsaw, Benton County, Missouri in 1857. He was also in Morgan, County. Later he migrated to Arkansas. So, I've answered my own question. I don't think we was in the St. Louis, Mo area.

Hi Barb: Can't say I know any Shockley researchers in St Louis, but I knew of a Shockley who had the John Deere dealership in Cuba, MO back in the 1950s.

Hi Pat: I like your idea better. I'm not much on green beer either and brown is a little marginal too. My constant worry down here in New Mexico is that someone might try to slip the green chili in the pot just to be helpful. Another thing down here that strikes me a little strange are the number of green serapes that show up around this time. Oh well, Viva Santa Patricio anyway.----Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: Patricia Hammons<mailto:hammons7@windstream.net> To: mo-stlouis-metro@rootsweb.com<mailto:mo-stlouis-metro@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2007 4:42 PM Subject: Re: [MO-STLOUIS-METRO] St Patrick happy St. Pat's to you too Jim.

She was a sister to Probate Judge ELKINS, a resident of this city for many years, and well known and much esteemed by many friends here. She was only 18 years of age and died of consumption - De Soto WATCHMAN. Our young friend, Hermann SIEMERS, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony, one day last week, by a Priest in St. Louis. His bride is a young lady from St. Louis, and is intelligent, amiable and handsome. Her maiden name was Lena JOHNS. Last Saturday, the enfare took place at their residence, three miles from Hillsboro, which was enjoyed by some fifty of their friends. The J.D. was represented by 'Squire SHEIBLE, who did ample justice to the eatibles and drinkables but some of the ladies say that he is too modest and bashful for a successful reporter, and wondered how he ever mustered enough courage to ask a lady to be his wife. This has always been a mystery to the 'Squire too. The leading spirit of the evening was a sister of the groom, who never tired in entertaining those present, while Willie DEER had control of the refreshments. About 11 o'clock p.m., a splendid supper was devoured by the hungry company, shortly after which some began making preparations to go home, among the first was ye reporter. May Hermann and his wife always be as happy as they were last Saturday night. <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
