Thanks to Linda Skelton Corbin who posted this on Face Book - THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN – ST. LOUIS, FEBRUARY 27, 1858 Fire at Cassville, Barry County, Mo. On the 17th instant, the entire buildings on the eastside of the public square in Cassville, Barry county, were destroyed by fire. They were owned by McDowell & Bro., Messers Mason, Moore, Herbert, and Dison. The fire broke out about midnight in Mason’s store, and spread to the store of McDowell & Bro. The latter firm succeeded in saving their books and papers. Mr. Mason was County Treasurer, and all the papers connected with that office were consumed. The house owned by Mr. Moore was not occupied. That of Mr. Herbert was occupied by Mr. Logas, who, however, removed many of his goods - - his loss will be $300 or $400. Mr. Dixon removed the most of his property. The fire was accidental. The loss is stated at $10,000. McDowell & Bro. had insurance on their stocks to the amount of $3,500 in the American and $15,000 in Citizens; and Mason $1,500 in Citizens and Atlantic offices, St. Louis.

The new person added to Spanish American files by Stan McKay is William Herbert McMillian. William enlisted at St. Louis, MO on Aug 12, 1898 and was discharged at New York on May 16, 1899 The record shows that he was posted to Fort Huachuca, Arizona Territory. The contact person given was a Edward Feick of Pittsburgh, PA http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/spwar/spwar.htm Thanks for the addition, Stan. Donna Cooper

List Readers, we have a new bushwhacker story that was added to our files by Linda Skelton Corbin that I think you will enjoy reading. Ted Roller and I took the photos for this cemetery where John M. Skelton is buried. It added additional information to the meaning of his death to see her story. I am not related to this family - I don't think anyway, but I love Civil War stories. My only connection to them is that one of his sons married into the Easley family. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/civilwar/bushwhacker/bushindex.htm Thanks, Linda Donna Cooper

This is a very good point, Nancy. And so do any of you know who these photos are of if not Zachary and Chloe? Thanks, Nancy.

List Readers, our featured photo for the coming week is of two tin types of Zachariah and Chloe (Albritton) Haddock. These photos are a prized find. Zachariah died in 1842. The chart I have included has dates that were taken from the Haddock Bible and family members, as well as cemetery stones and other documents. He is buried in Haddock Cemetery near Eagle Rock. And as you know Chloe is buried on the Russell farm that is now part of the Roaring River Park property. The most tragic thing that happened to this family were the events surrounding the Civil War. Darla Marbut and Bill Van Zandt as well as many others on our list mail group are descendants of Zachariah's family. I descend from Zachariah's brother Charles Haddock, Sr. and his wife Penelope Mills through their son Charles Haddock, Jr. and his wife Sarah Collins. Charles Jr. was murdered during the Civil War and Charles Sr. is buried in Mt. Oram Cemetery near Ft. Scott, Kansas. What is interesting about Zachariah is Chloe's connection to the Taylor family. Zachariah's mother, Rhoda was a Taylor and Chloe's mother, Unice was a Taylor and so they were cousins. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm The old house project is still proceeding, but we have a lot of work yet to do.

Oops, sorry, didn't get it all - January 27, 1917, Thursday, Cassville Democrat, Barry Co., MO - Washburn & Greasy Creek: A good citizen passed away when James Pease died Saturday night at 9 p.m. the 20th. He was a member of the Methodist Church and was 77 years old. Funeral service conducted at the house, Monday by the Rev. D. T. Hutcheson and Rev. Bowers, Interment made at Washburn Prairie Cemetery, Monday evening. James Alvin Pease was born Jan 28, 1840, at Winsted, Conn. At the age of 21 he enlisted in Company E. 7th Connecticut Infantry and was discharged Sept 12, 1864. He went west with his father and mother and homesteaded in Neb., in 1868. He was married to Nettie Fetrow, March 1st, 1876 and to this union three daughters were born, Stella of the home, Mrs. J. H. Mooney of Washburn and Mrs. Ernest Lund of Cedar, Kan., also eight grand children and one brother, George L. Pease of Beatrice, Nebr., survive the deceased. He left Nebraska in 1895 and moved to Springfield staying there a few months and then located in Washburn. He was a loving husband, a good kind father and many friends are left to mourn his loss. February 1, 1917, Thursday, Cassville Republican, Barry Co., MO AN AGED FATHER PASSED AWAY James A. Pease for many years a resident of Washburn passed from time to eternity on Jan. 20, following a brief illness, age 76 years, 11 months and 20 days. James A. Pease, was born in Winsted, Conn., and there grew to early manhood. When the call to arms came during our civil strife he enlisted in Co. E. 7th Conn. Infantry and served until Sept. 12, 1864 when he was discharged. He followed the stars and stripes from Manassas to Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, also the blood trail through the seven days fight in the wilderness and to the final Appomattox and then proudly marched through Washington. He went west to Nebraska with his parents who located on a homestead near Beatrice, Neb., in 1868. He was married on March 1, 1876, to Nettie Fetrow. To this union were born three children, Miss Stella at home, Mrs. J. H. Mooney of Washburn and Mrs. Ernest Lund of Cedar, Kan., who with the widow survive him.

From there he went to Washburn where he resided until death.
