I can mail you a copy of the article and the picture if you will send an address. County Home. - Harrison County with her vigorous and industrious people has been no exception to the unvarying rule that no community is without its unfortunates and in common with the other states of the Nation, Missouri has kept pace with benevolent movements, and the making of provisions for the needy and those unable to earn a support. In common with the other counties of the state Harrison has done her part, under the enabling laws of the state which have shown great growth and development from our early days. Our early records contain announcements of doings under our early laws then rearded as helpful, but which now we would not feel proud of. For instance that the keep of the county's indigent were left to the lowest bidders. We find in the records of te June term, 1847, of the county courts that "Henry Fuller, Sheriff, lets John Richardson, a pauper, to the lowest bidder, and John Foster takes him at $38.00 per month," but later provisions enabled our people to suitably care for the unfortunate and pay the cost thereof, and not make the same a matter of auction. At the December term, 1866, John W. Brown, who had previously been appointed to purchase for the county land for a poor farm, reported a purchase of --- acres in section 9, township 64, range 27, which was adopted, and the land purchased by the county, and two years later the necessary buildings were erected thereon. This farm under the county management afforded a comfortable home for the poor of the county until about 1902. This property was sold by the county and in October, 1900, the county purchased from Campbell Crossan what had been the old fair ground in section 9, township 63, range 27, near Bethany, and later other tracts have been added until the farm now comprises 180 acres. On June 13, 1901, we find the following entry in the County Court Record of that date: "Whereas the county court contemplates erecting a county building on the county farm with modern improvements necessary to the sanitary condition of same, and whereas R. G. Hirsch, architect, of Macon, Missouri, and Joslyn, Taylor & Company, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, present plans and specifications, the county court doth find that the plans submitted by R. G. Hirsch are best adapted to their needs, and do hereby adopt the same for their use in constructing said county building, and hereby authorize said architect to prepare and file in this court not later than July 1, 1901, complete plans and specifications, when action will be taken threon." After due publication of notice for sealed bids, which were received on August 5, 1901, the contracts were let on August 6, 1901, as follows: To John Scott & Sons for $10,250.00 for the building, contractors to furnish all material, perform all the labor in accordance with the Hirsch plans and specifications on file. To Sodermann Heat and Power Company the contarct for heating for $1,978.00 according to plans and specifications. The county court entered an order of record appointing Andrew Cumming, of Bethany, Missouri, superintendent of construction of said county building, also one appointing A. S. Cumming, of Bethany, Missouri, to assist the prosecuting attorney in the matter of contarcts and bonds relating to same. At August term, 1901, John Scott & Sons present their bond in he sum of $20,500 to secure the performance of their contract, which was approved August 21, 1901. At the same time Soderman Heat and Power Company present their bond for $4,000 to secure the performance of their contract, which was approved. At the April term, 1902, Andrew Cumming reports completion of the building as per plans, spoecifications and contract, which report was received and adopted. >>

Anytime you get a link and see that part of it wrapped, but was not included in the link as it should have been just copy and then click on the part of the link that is intact. When the page comes up - no matter what it says, just paste the remaining part at the end of the URL and reclick. It will take you to the page that you wish to see.

My gggrandfather, David R. Woods, is listed on the death records for Harrison Co, Bethany, MO as having died there Sept. 1884 and being buried in the local cem. (was the VERY large one west of town). He had no tombstone prior to 2000. There is no other record of him or his family in Harrison Co.. Would it be possible to get a listing of the patients or persons living in the county farm, poorhouse, etc. Thanks, Chuck Woods

The link in the original posting works for me. Doesn't look like Bethany, Harrison Co. to me, but that's just my opinion. Barbra

Surnames: GLENDENNING IVIE LEACH Submitter: Virginia Withnell (virginialr_56@hotmail.com) Date: 28 Feb 2002 I.m looking for the IVIES,LEACH, GLENDENNING families that was probably in Harrison County in the 1700's and the 1900's.

My great-grandmother, Malissa Barker, who married William Horatio (Hiram) Moss in Mercer County, about 1863, was the daughter of Margaret and Ephraim Barker, of Ritchie County, Virginia (now West Virginia). Margaret Barker, along with her five children, Arah, William, Malissa, Sarah and Elizabeth, are shown on the County 1856 census for Davis County, Iowa, but no record of them in 1860. Malissa, however, aged about 16, was listed on the Harrison County (Cainsville) census for 1860, living with a doctor's family as a servant. I haven't had any luck in locating Malissa's mother and siblings. Margaret might have still had the Barker name, or possibly, Ephraim presumably being deceased, remarried. If anyone has any clue about this family, I'd be very grateful. Thank you. Margaret Udell --- Margaret Udell --- meudell1@earthlink.net --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

What time frames were these people living? I have a Rachel IMES who married Benjamin Harvey SUTTON (1831-1902), son of George SUTTON and Hannah GARD. They had one daughter, Hannah A. SUTTON. I have never found any information on Rachel, maybe because I was looking for IMES, not ALLEN. I do have a note that Benjamin died in Harrison County, Missouri but I have never found any record of his grave. (He is NOT buried in Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in Harrison County. That Benjamin is the son of Capt. Simeon SUTTON and Hannah MORTON. Simeon is this Benjamin's brother.) Is there any chance that this Rachel was an ALLEN who married an IMES, was widowed, then married Benjamin? Maybe Rachel died and was buried somewhere else then when Benjamin died he was buried with her. I also have very little information on Benjamin. I have never found a record but he had to be born in Preble County, Ohio. He was the youngest son. He fought in the Civil War and was with General Sherman on the March to the Sea. I have heard he was a doctor during and after the war, again no proof. I think he had a practice in either St. Joseph or Kansas City, Missouri. Let me know what you think.

Marilyn, Your inquiry may have just solved a mystery! I've looked for the name Joshua Dale in Mercer Co., not thinking to check Harrison Co. You noted the 1880 census listed a Charles E. Hogan? age 8. Probably Hogan is Morin. Do you have a death date for Joshua Dale? Eliza Ann Sexton was the 2nd wife of Andrew Jackson Morin, married in Mercer Co. Feb. 1870. They had 2 sons, Charles Edward (b. 1870) and George Washington (b. 1874). Andrew Morin died in 1875. After that Eliza married Joshua Dale and later James Heriford. I do not have a marriage date for either but, both could likely be found in the courthouses. Eliza was born Dec. 25, 1838; died Feb. 4, 1892; and is buried in the Pine Cemetery, Mercer Co. Eliza's obituary was recently posted on the Mercer Co. listserv. I will look for it. Looking forward to comparing other notes! -Judy > Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 17:36:08 -0700 > From: dbarm@advertisnet.com (Marilyn Schuetz) > To: MOHARRIS-L@rootsweb.com > > In the 1880 census for Trail Creek Township, Harrison county, there is a > listing for Joshua Dale, age 71, married to Eliza ? age 41.

Bob, I don't know if this is the same Ben Clark or not. I never met the man, and in fact, my mother and I were a little surprised to find that he died so recently (1978). My great-grandmother was alive then and in fairly good health, my grandfather talked with her by phone weekly, and we talked with him at least that often and saw her once or twice a year. But neither my mom nor I remember hearing when her brother died, or that she had one living. She was the youngest of 14 (he was six years older than she), and I guess we assumed she was the last one living. Anyway, the obituary says he was a retired farmer, doesn't mention owning a hotel, but if he did that in the 1920s and 30s, he may have farmed later and whoever wrote the obit didn't know about the hotel. My great-aunt is still living (he would have been her uncle), so I'll ask her. Rob. Rob.
