Ellinghouse, Editor Volume 9, pages 31 & 32 They Resisted Arrest John Limbaugh, better known as Cooch, and Lewis Ates, both Cape county young men, are in jail at Fredericktown as a result of resisting arrest and for other things. The former will serve 66 days and the latter 22. They were taken up Tuesday by Constable Slinkard. About four months ago Limbaugh went to Sedgewickville and rode through the streets at a very rapid gait. He was not arrested at that time. Rudolph Conrad, who is mayor of Sedgewickville, issued a warrant, however, and with Deputy Sheriff Pressnell went to the picnic at Patton Saturday last. He gave the warrant to Constable Slinkard of this place to serve, at the same time pointing out Limbaugh who was on the rotary swing with a young lady. As the swing was stopping the constable informed Limbaugh that he had a warrant for him, and declared him under arrest. Limbaugh made an effort to draw a pistol from his right pants pocket, but was seized and held in the seat by the constable. In the struggle Conrad and J. D. Hahn were assisting the constable to handcuff Limbaugh. John Watkins rushed out of the crowd with an open knife, apparently intending to stab some of the officers. Conrad commanded him to stop, and as Watkins continued to advance Conrad shot him, the ball striking him! in the arm above the elbow, ranging upward and lodging in the shoulder. At last reports the ball had not been removed. As the pistol was taken from Limbaugh's pocket it was knocked by him over the constable's shoulder onto the swing platform. It was picked up by Wiley Neff, but was surrendered to the constable on demand. After Limbaugh had been secured he was forced by several officers to Heitman's store. At this place Lewis Ates attempted to rescue Limbaugh from the officers, striking one of them. He was ordered placed under arrest by constable Slinkard, and after resisting was arrested. The two were guarded in Heitman's mill until Monday, when they were arraigned before Justice D. F. Bollinger of German township. Limbaugh was charged with carrying a pistol, with carrying knucks and resisting officers. Lewis Ates was charged with disturbing the peace and resisting officers. They both pleaded guilty and were brought here Monday night by constable Slinkard, Deputy Eldracher, J. D. Hahn and Charles Sharrock. Limbaugh is a man of very dark complexion and powerful build, and Ates is a smaller man. It had been reported at Patton that Limbaugh and a number of his followers were coming that day with the avowed purpose of breaking up the picnic. Marble Hill Press July 26, 1894

The book was written by Lorena Shell Eaker, and it is about German-Speaking peoples. These are first to third generation German families who immigranted to America in the 18th century, most of whom settled first in Pennsylvania or Maryland, then moved to western North Carolina, then to Southeast Missouri. The book is already in most local (and many other) genealogical libraries. Lorena should be on this list, so she can provide more details about ordering the reprint. The Abernathys were not of German descent, so only individuals who intermarried with the old German families are in the book. This book is a gem for the area it covers, and I truly treasure my copy. However, I would hasten to remind people that this book has the "best available information" on these families as of the late 1980s-early 1990s. There has been much discovered since then by those of us who research original records. For example, I have better information on the Fulbright and Eddleman families than is in the book, and have corrected a number of errors. Other researchers on individual families have better information on them in many cases. This book (and other books) is no substitute for verifying your genealogy by doing your own research. ----Bill Eddleman, Cape Girardeau, MO >Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2003 08:02:58 EST >From: RKIMMEL100@aol.com >Subject: [MOCapeGirardeau ] families moved to SE MO from Lincoln County, NC > >I am interested to know about this book.
