Hello. I am new to this list. My surnames are as follows, and I would like to correspond with anyone else researching them: Mothershead, Shoults, Wall, and (perhaps) Pruitt or Skeel Thank you to Sue Cooley, who sent me an obituary for Matilda Shoults, who died 22 Apr 1948. I believe she will turn out to be my ggrandmother's sister, but have yet to prove it. All of the following, except where noted, is per my mother and as yet unconfirmed. My ggrandmother Eva married George Mothershead in St. Clair in Feb. 1891 (marriage record not yet found). Both had grown up in St. Clair. Eva had an older sister Tilda, a twin sister Adeline, and a younger brother John. Her mother died when she was 12 (i.e., in 1896-97) and the family was split up. My mother gave Eva's maiden name as Pruitt. However, Eva's death certificate (otherwise not very accurate) says John Skeel for her father and is blank for her mother. Eva and George Mothershead had seven surviving children, about which I have additional information. They and the seven children moved to Weld Co. (Windsor/Greeley) Colorado in 1913. Here are the connections I see with Matilda Shoults, per the obituary: (1) She has a surviving sister Mrs. Evelyn Mothershead of Greeley, Colo. (probably my "Eva"). (2) She has a second sister, named "Adelyn" (probably Eva's twin "Adeline"). (3) She is older than my ggrandmother Eva (by eight years). (4) She had a son George of Denver, Colo (at her death in 1948), and a "George Schultz, Eva's nephew" was present at my ggrandfather's George's death in Windsor, Colo, in 1939. (5) The 1920 census shows Eva and George's married daughter Altha (my grandmother) in a household that includes "Sidney Wall." The relationship on the index looks like a "C," which I was guessing would be a cousin. If Matilda's sister Adelyn had a son Sidney, he would be Sidney Wall (Adelyn's married name) and would be a cousin to Altha. Questions: Does anyone know whether Adelyn Wall had a son Sidney? Did she by any chance also have a daughter Della? Does anyone have a birth date for Adelyn (to compare to Eva's to see whether twins)? Does anyone have Adelyn's marriage record, showing her maiden name? Does anyone have information on Adelyn Wall's or on Matilda Shoults' parents, especially whether the mother died about 1896? Thank you for any help! I will be happy to share information. My e-mail is suetinny@rochester.rr.com Susan Thomas

Deanna, I have a copy of Marriage Records, Franklin Co, MO, Books A&B, 1819 - 1858 compiled by Audrey L. Woodruff and did not find this marriage in the book. Sue Cooley Franklin County Coordinator Missouri USGenWeb Project

That is a wonderful story; I know many families during that time period that wouldn't have made it without their friends and neighbors help. I apprediate your story and know it to be true. There were so many like that. People didn't just think of money' they helped their fellow man and expected no pay. My brother and I used to play with all the old account books in my Grandparents upstairs room; full of people who couldn't pay. There are some like that now but not many. My Grandparents lived in Okla. and sold everything from groceries and whatever in their general store. People would pay when the crops came in; if they came in. Nice to hear of people like you mentioned. God Bless you all and have a wonderful weekend. May each day be better than the one before.

It was in the middle of "The Great Depression." Many people were out of work and no jobs to be had. Ivan Henderson was a little tyke, small enough to be placed in a baby buggie and wheeled to Dr. Stierbergers' office. He was very ill. He had Pneumonia and his lung was filled with fluids. Dr.E.A. Stierberger, I think was his correct name, had a very good friend and right hand man who was what we now call either "Black" or "Afro American." Ross could do anything according to Ivan. He drove the Dr. on house calls, seems to have assisted in every way with operations or anything else where Dr S. needed help. Dr. Stierberger called him "Nigger Ross" not as a "put down" but as his friend. Ivan remembers this gentleman quite well as he was in the operating room assisting when, a large slit was cut in Ivans left back rib-cage and fluid drained from his lung. Ivan is now past 75 yrs old and will carry the huge scar to his grave, but he would have died as a child had it not been for Dr. Stierburger and "Nigger Ross" emergency operation. He remembers that when his father tried to pay, Dr. Stierberger, knowing that John had several children and was getting very little work, cussed him out and told him if he needed money he'd send him a bill. He was a rough spoken man, but had a golden heart. When he made his will, I am told, he forgave the debts of those he knew were in need. I have not seen his probate, but I think it is true. During this period, the early 1930's, many folks left Franklin County trying to find work. Those who had been employed by the shoe factory would have to go to work and stand outside and hope to be called in by the foremen to work even if only for a part of a day. They had to show up or would be permanently terminated. Some got work, some didn't. They were lucky if they were able to get enough work to make $5.00 a week; many were not called and went home with no hope of a payday. Dr. Stierberger and his faithful friend "Nigger Ross" helped a lot of these people, saving many lives, I feel sure. -- Leona [Lee] lee@gower.net Genealogy, Native American, wild flowers, gardening, insects, Herbs, etc..

I don't know if anyone answered your question yet or not, no one posted to the list, so I'm gonna put my two cents in. www.mapquest.com many times shows old towns that no longer exist. If you do a look-up for Boeuf Missouri, two things come up, one is Boeuf Creek Missouri. It is located just four to five miles from New Haven in Franklin County. The other is located north-east of the creek across the river in Warren County. My guess would be that what you are looking for was located at the junction of Boeuf Creek and Hwy 100. Hope this helps you!
