Kim, The book "Cemetery Records of Crawford County Missouri" has Mary Gladys Harrington listed as being buried in the Freeman Cemetery which is located off of Highway 19 out of Cherrville in Osage Township. The listing reads as follows: HARRINGTON, Mary G. Oxendine Feb. 4, 1904-March 9, 1972. It appears that there are Oxendine graves on both sides of her. Listed above her name is a Thomas & Laura (Bettorf) Oxendine and listed below her is a William H. Oxendine. His listing indicates his first wife was Gladys Mary Key and his second wife was Nora Brown. He died May 23, 1930 age age 35. If you need further information on these Oxendine graves let me know as there are obituaries posted along with their listings. Unfortunately there's no obit published with Mary G. Harrington's listing. Bettye On Tue, February 15, 2005 10:11 pm, Kim Myers said: > Seeking information on Mary Gladys Harrington, died 9 March 1972 in Cuba, > Crawford, Missouri.

Melodee, The only listing I can find in the book Cemetery Records of Crawford County, Missouri, that's even close to what you're seeking is a listing in the Keysville Cemetery for an Elizabeth Key, daughter of Rev. G. W. Dobbs, however, her husband's name is given as Thomas Key. This listing indicates that she has no tombstone, buy provides the following obituary: OBITUARY: Elizabeth Key wife of Thomas Key and daughter of Rev. G. W. Dobbs, died of consumption Monday morning July 20, 1891. Mrs. Key leaves three children, the oldest six years of age. B.

With the New Year underway, I thought that I would see if anyone might be able to shed any light on my 35 year plus effort with the HARDESTER / HARDISTER Family in Missouri. A "brief" introduction, and then some questions - Samuel James HARDESTER was born in North Carolina, ca 1790. He married Elizabeth HELMS (b. ca 1807, Kentucky) on 5 June 1826 in Gasconade County. He is shown on the 1830 Census in (newly formed) Crawford County. A son, Henry, was born ca 1828 in "Pulaski County." However, as Pulaski County was not formed from Crawford County until 1833, most likely he was born in Crawford County. The 1840 Census shows Samuel and his family in Pulaski County. By 1850, Samuel and Henry are "missing." Samuel's wife (Elizabeth) and family are found in the 1850 Federal Census living in Pulaski County (District 72, Page 116). No information of any type as to what happened to Samuel. However, Henry was alive and well as noted by his marriages (information obtained from his Civil War pension file): ca 1848-50: Caroline THOMPSON (issue, John H?) 16 February 1854: Catherine COLLIER (issue, Martha?) ca November 1856: Mary COLLIER (sister of Catherine) (issue, Henry, my line) and, 15 July 1862: Sarah Margaret ELEMS (no known issue) No information on Caroline's (presumed) death. Catherine died 15 February 1856; and Mary is believed to have died 15 August 1861 - all in/around, Pulaski County. Henry died on 06 November 1862, of typhoid pneumonia, at Benton Barracks (St. Louis), Missouri, while serving in the Civil War. Sarah remarried Joseph Napoleon HAWKINS 04 April 1869, in Pulaski County. Brief Questions. What happened to Samuel? Who were the parents / family of Elizabeth HELMS? Who were the parents / family of Caroline THOMPSON? In 1850, the COLLIER sisters, and other siblings, were living in the home of Solomon CAPESTANY (a misspelling for CARPENTER), page 116 as noted above. Who were their parents? Henry's Civil War pension file makes note that the COLLIER ladies were married (to Henry) "...in the home of their father, Solomon CARPENTER." Perhaps, grandfather? Any information or suggestions will be welcome, and I have a "bit" of information to share.

The following newspaper clipping was pasted in an old scrap book. The collector is unknown and most of the clippings appear to be from a Cuba, MO. newspaper. Thursday, Nov. 19, 1891 Obituary The Supreme Master of the Universe has laid the icy hand of death on our well beloved brother Wm. T. Scantlin, leaving in the hearts of the Masonic Fraternity an aching void, which time, the greatest of all healers, cannot fill. The cold, clay city to which we sadly consigned his remains, never received a nobler nature or a wamer or more generous heart. Diligent and honest, discharging every duty pertaining to the sphere in which he moved, however humble it may have been, entitles the name of our departed brother to be placed on the roster of good and noble hearted men, who have passed to that bourne whence no traveler returns. Fraternity, affection and esteem were his while living. the mound, which clasps his city beneath it, was bedewed with the tears of the many friends and relatives who assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to so good a brother. Tender recollections of his benevolence and kindness will ever embalm his memory in our hearts. Resolved, that Cuba Lodge No. 312 A.F. & A.M. tenders to his heart-streken family their sympathy at the loss of so devoted a husband, father and brother. Resolved, that in the death of brother Wm. T. Scantlin, Cuba lodge has lost a true, earnest and faithful member, whose example is worthy of emulation. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions and preamble, with the seal of the lodge attached, be sent to the bereaved family. Resolved, that a copy be also filled in the Archives of the Lodge. Committee (N. Jones, B. W. Fink, J. M. Eaton).

The following newspaper clippings were pasted in an old scrap book. The collector is unknown. they were taken from a Cuba (Crawford Co.) MO newspaper dating approximately 1891. ENGLAND ... EVERSON Brilliant Nuptials of a Popular Bell of Steelville -- Cupid Captures a Clergyman. Married, on Wednesday morning, July 1st, 1891, at the Presbyterian church in Steelville, by presiding Elder Smith, of the M. E. Church, South, Miss Emma EVERSON, of Steelville, to Rev. J. M. ENGLAND, of Quitman, Arkansas. The bride is the accomplished daughter of Mr. Thomas Everson, Master Mechanic of the Salem branch of the St. L. & S. F. Railway, and one of our most prominent and substantial citizens. The groom is a minister of the Methodist Church, South, and at present, stationed at Thayer, MO. Quite a considerable length of time before the appointed hour for the ceremony, the church, which had been beautifully decorated with flowers and wreaths of evergreen, began to fill with invited guests to witness the ceremony, and by 8 o'clock the large room was completely filled. At the appointed hour the wedding party, consisting of the bride and groom, preceded by their attendants - Miss Lulu MARSH and Rev. W. Q. DONNAN, Miss Cora BANE & Mr. G. E. MARSH, Miss Sadie GLASSEY and Mr. John ZABROSKY - entered the church and proceeded to the altar, under the inspiring influence of the beautiful march played by Mrs. B. F. RUSSELL, where they took their positions, and presiding Elder Smith then pronounced the beautiful and impressive ceremony that united the happy couple in the happy bonds of wedlock. After the ceremony had been performed the bridal party marched out of the church and were conveyed to the residence of the bride's parents, thence to the depot, where the happy couple departed on their wedding tour, which will include Quitman, Ark., and Paris, Texas. The Democrat extends hearty congratulations and wishes the worthy young people a long life of unalloyed happiness. NOVEMBER 19, 1891 The Knights of Pythias gave a banquet at the Cuba Hotel Saturday night, the occasion being institution of their Lodge at that point.

The following newspaper clippings were pasted in an old scap book. The unknown collector had clipped them from a 1891 Crawford County, Missouri newspaper. ----LVILLE, MO. Nov. 19, 1891 Obituary Miss Lou COWDEN, who died at her sister's, Mrs. M. O. TAYLOR's at Bourbon, on the 9th inst., was the daughter of the Rev. J. W. Cowden formerly of this county, and at the time of her death was in the 35th year of her age. She has resided in the city for a number of years and was in the country this fall to try and recuperate her health, which has been very much impaired for sometime, when she was attacked with the erysipelas and only lived a few days. Miss Lou became converted to the cause of Christ under her father's preaching when very young and from that time to her death, lived a model Christian life. She showed her Christian virtues in all her walks in life and never found anything too much or to exacting for her to do for the cause of religion. She was noble, generous, kind and lovely to and loved by all. Well can the brothers and sisters say with the poet: "Sister, thou was mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze; Pleasant as the air of evening, as it floats amon! g the trees." Since her death, one of the family has written: "She was the best of us all; loving, kind and industrious, better to others than to herself. To liertt is rest, eternal rest." She was buried at Leasburg on the 11th where a large number of friends, neighbors and old schoolmates had gathered to pay her the last sad tribute of respect. MARRIAGE Married, at the residence of J. C. BURKES, last Sunday evening at 4 o'clock, Mr. William DRENNON and Miss Rena MARSH, both of Riverside. Rev. PHILLIPS officiating.

CLARK died at his home in Hermann, MO., on the 30th of Nov. 1891, from typhoid fever. The deceased was reared in this county, and from this place enlisted in the 7th Missouri Cavalry. In 1869 he was married to Mary A. GIBSON, daughter of Dr. Alexander Gibson of this place, who bore him a son and daughter, who are both living. He resided for several years in Phelps county where he was elected clerk of the Circuit Court. He was there admitted to the bar, but finally removed to Gasconade County where he practiced his profession up to the time of his fatal illness. He was an intelligent and able man, a genial and kindhearted citizen, an indulgent father and a faithful husband. His remains were brought to Steelville, and buried from the Baptist church on Wednesday. Mr. Wm. JOLLEY & Miss. Anna A. FANNING, were married at the residence of Mr. John Fanning yesterday, 13 Jan 1792. (should this be 1892?)

Am looking for the burial site of Mary Huskey Ramsey b. abt. 1782 in Edgefield District, SC and died June 14, 1864 in either Crawford of Maries county, MO. She was in Crawford county in the 1860 census living in the household of William and Hannah Britton. She was the wife of LaFayette Ramsey. Hoping somebody has her in their family tree. Thanks. Janette

I know nothing more about this family. I'm not related. Found this article in a book I have called PIONEER TIMES, a quarterly publication of the mid-Missouri Genealogical society, Inc. Vol 11 No. 1. Jan 1987. The following newspaper clippings were pasted in an old scrap book. The collector is unknown. the county is thought to be Crawford, and the Newspaper is believed to be from Cuba, Missouri. The dates are approximately 1891 or 92. AN AWFUL ACCIDENT On Thuesday (sic) last Mrs. David McIntosh living on the old Henry Smith place met with an appalling accident, that scarcely has a parrallel (sic). Her husband had gone to Wisconsin, on a visit, taking their child with him, and the woman was entirely alone. Some years ago Mr. Reagan, of Midland, sold McIntosh a Jersey bull, and it was kept on the place. Mrs. McIntosh was in the habit of leading it from the lot where kept to the field and tying it to a stake. This she attempted to do on Thursday, about noon. She had hold of a rope and was leading him by a ring in the nose, when he attacked her, and knocking her down, commenced goring her frightfully. He tore great shreds of flesh from her legs and arms, and finally disemboweled her. She fought the maddened animal, desperately, and finally caught the ring in his nose and twisted it. He threw up his head which drew her to her feet, and catching her bowels in her hands, she ran for her life, and finally reached the house, one hu! ndred and fifty yards away. She succeeded to getting on in a bed and there she lay alone in her agony, for several hours, until a neighbor, THOMAS RANDOLPH, called to borrow a saddle. He saw the blood everywhere and entering the house found the moaning and suffering woman, more dead than alive, and yet able to tell how the awful affair had occurred. JOHN FLEMING her father was sent for and soon arrived with Doctors HARDESTY and MARTYN, who did all in human skill for the poor woman. The bowels were perforted (sic) in two places and the only possible chance for the woman's life was in stitching the broken parts together, which was done, and antiseptic washes applied. One of the most remarkable occurrences in connection with the affair, was an act on the part of the woman which shows unparalleled fortitude. No doubt fearing the burglars that had been operating in the neighborhood; some time before, Mrs. McIntosh had buried what money she had and realizing the nature of her hu! rt and fearing the secret might die with her and her child be deprived of the money, she dragged her suffering body to the place of concealment, dug up the money, and took it to the bed with her, that in case she died before help arrived, her child's legacy would be found by her dead body. No Spartan mother ever performed an act of great heroism. Up to the time of going to press Mrs. McIntosh is alive and some hopes are entertained that she may live. I've found a David McIntosh (73) in the 1910 Mo. census of Crawford Co., with his 2nd wife, of 24 years, Rachel, 50, and 2 living children (they had 3). Being married 24 years in 1910, they got married about 1886. Looking in the 1880 census of Crawford Co., I've found John Flemming, Rachel's father, and Rachel, 21. She evidently lived after the goring!
