Hello all. Trying to find parents of James Wright, b abt 1872, Howard Co., MO He is great grandson of James L. and Malinda PAGE. 1880 Moniteau Twsp., Howard Co., MO (file 90.14) James L. Page, w, m, 75, married, farmer, VA VA VA Malinda, w f 80, keeping house, VA VA VA Virginia, w, f, 49, single, at home, MO VA VA James Wright, w, m, 8, great-grandson In the will of his ggrandmother, Malinda Page, dated 1887, James Wright is given horses, etc. Other info in census for James and Malinda Page lists Perlina Adams in their household.

There are probably lots of Mt. Pleasants and Pleasant Hills In fact I have a Pleasant Lloyd interred at Mt. Pleasant @ Estill . There was a church there also at one time.

There is a Pleasant Hill Methodist Church, with an adjoining cemetery, in Pettis County, Missouri, near Sedalia. Church and adjoining cemetery are in Flat Creek Township, Pettis Co., Mo. (T45N, R21W, S36, W1/2 of NE1/4). To reach the location, take Route M south from the southeast side of Sedalia to intersection with Pleasant Hill Road south of Flat Creek; go right and follow Pleasant Hill Road 1.6 miles to Pleasant Hill Methodist Church and cemetery.

There are two Mt. Pleasant Cemeteries in Howard County. The Coutts and Boggs cemetery book lists Mt Pleasant Church Cemetery as T51, R14, S21, Route A South Higbee in Boone Femme Township. Church is active. Cemetery fenced and well kept. There was listed one Sterns burial and that was fairly recent. It was for Gerald W. Stearns Jr., born and died 1984. No Quisenberry's. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, T49/48 R 16 S 20, Highway 5 North of New Franklin one mile on right side of road. This cemetery has both back ad white persons buried within the cemetery with no discrimination as to location. However, it shows no Stern or Quisenberry burials. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy B. ----- Original Message ----- From: "laura crane" <lcrane@coin.org> To: <MOHOWARD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 11:36 PM Subject: Re: [MOHOWARD-L] Re: MOHOWARD-D Digest V03 #21 > My Lloyds are buried at the Mt.

The following are selected articles from a Newspaper titled, "The Higbee News" which was issued out of the town of Higbee, in Randolph County, Missouri from the years 1888 through 1953.

T. Dameron--(Edited by compiler)--An adjourned term of the circuit court convened here Monday to try the divorce case of Orbie Duvall vs. Lottie Duvall. The defendant filed a cross bill in the case and the trial in some respects was sensational and attracted quite a crowd to the court room. There was a large number of witnesses and the court held a night session to complete the case. Mr. Duvall is a farmer residing near Antioch church, northeast of Moberly, and was divorced from a former wife when he married Miss Lottie Brown of Moberly a few years ago, and is her senior by several years, as he was of his first wife, from when he was divorced on the grounds of infidelity and desertion. Practically the same charge was made in this case. W. A. Wright represented the plaintiff and Redick O'Bryan the defendant. The trial was hotly contested. In his decision Judge Walker granted a decree of divorce to the plaintiff, Duvall, and allowed defendant an attorney fee of $25 and $25 for her costs. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 5 Col 1--Mrs. Jas. Daggs returned to her home in Brookfield Monday after a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Jones.

Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 5 Col 2--Mrs. and Mrs. Claib Dougherty were called to Moberly yesterday to see their daughter, Mrs. Herbert Leach, of near Salisbury, who was operated on at a hospital in that city that morning. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 5 Col 2--Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Warford moved from the farm to town last week, and if they like town life may decide to remain permanently. They are mighty good folks and we extend them a most hearty welcome. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 5 Col 2--Mrs. R. H. Williams and children of Vandalia were the guests of her father, W. D. Edwards, and other relatives and friends the latter part of last week, returning home Monday. Mrs. Williams was accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Maurice Robb. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 5 Col 2--A. B.

It was Mr. Heathman's first visit back to the old home town in seven years. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 5 Col 2--Ernest, the 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Dinwiddie, who was operated on at a Boonville hospital several weeks ago for appendicitis, and who was in an extremely critical condition for several days, will be able to return home Sunday, a letter from his mother to Mr. Dinwiddie advised yesterday. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 5 Col 3--Mrs. Mary Webb, one of our oldest and most highly respected residents, and who despite her age lives alone and does her own work, celebrated her 84th birthday Monday by a trip down town, despite the rain. Remarkable as it may seem, Mrs. Webb is able to read almost the finest print without the use of glasses, she having received her "second sight" several years ago. That she may celebrate many more birthdays, but with better weather conditions, is the wish of her many friends. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 5 Col 3--Mr. and Mrs. Jas. E. Carter left yesterday afternoon for Gilman, Ill., in response to a message stating that their son-in-law, Ernest Myers, had been accidentally shot that morning. The message did not state the seriousness of Mr. Myers' condition but the presumption is that the shot will likely prove fatal. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 8 Col 1--MT.

Griggs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Griggs, born April 23, 1916, passed away from this life September 12 1926, aged 10 years, 4 months and 18 days. This dear little boy met the call of the angel of death without a tremor and passed into the great unknown leaving to mourn his loss besides his mother and father, one sister, Mrs. Albert Newman of Moberly, and one brother, Cal, of the home; also his dear, kind, and ever-faithful grandmother, Mrs. Barthena Griggs, who loved him as her own, as he had spent every night for the past few years in her home, driving away the loneliness as other little ones could not do, for he had that gay, cheerful, care-free way so few possess. This dear little boy was a kind and loving child who always had a word and a smile for each and everyone, no matter when or where, and was deeply loved by all. People who met him always had a word or question to ask him to hear him respond in his sweet little voice and hear his witty answers. Besides the immediate family he leaves a number of relatives and a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn his loss. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg. 8 Col 5--Grant Guerri, a resident of this vicinity for several years, will sell all of his personal property at public auction on the 23rd, including his residence, if he does not dispose of it privately before then, and will move to St. Louis, where his three sons have good positions, and where he will also secure employment. See list of property in this issue. Mr. Guerrri came to Higbee about the time of the opening of mine No. 11, and but for a year or two when it was closed down, he has resided here, conducting a store at the mine. A jolly good fellow, and as honest as the day is long, he will be given up by all who know him, and all hope that he will return some day to remain. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright notice: All transcriptions in this email are copyrighted by their creator.

T. Dameron--(Edited by compiler)--According to a diary kept by Dr. D. A. Barnhartt, it rained here the first day of this month, October, and according to an old prophecy, by the late Colby Gibson, we are to have 15 days of rain during the month. I have kept check on Colby's "sign" in other days and it generally proved true. He drove the livery bus here to the railroad station for many years to meet all passenger trains, and traveling men far and wide knew him, and all liked him. Like most individuals, Colby, in some respects, was peculiar, but he was everybody's friend, and some interesting stories might be told of his life. Sitting in Dr. Barnhart's office the other day and speaking of some of Colby's characteristics, reminded the Doctor of one time how Colby expressed himself in his characteristic way about high school graduates at that time, and graduates in his school days. Mr. Gibson and wife had no children of their own, but they reared a niece of Mrs. Gibson, who is now the excellent wife of Jim Malone, south of town. She graduated from our high school. A day or two after her graduation the Doctor met Colby on the street and proceeded to congratulate him on the successful studies of his niece and her graduation. Appreciating the compliment, of course, Colby expressed himself about as follows: "Well, Doctor, don't you know the young graduates under this grade or room advancement system they have don't know anything when they do graduate. That is, they forget all about what they learned in rooms from which they are shoved up to higher ones, that is from one grade room to another, and when most of these graduates hire out to teach in any grade school they have to go to some college a portion of the year to further equip themselves to teach in the lower grades, and this is followed from year to year, and their salary for each year is all gone, and a plea for an increase in salaries is made. But it wasn't that way under the old system when all sizes and ages sat in one room, and when students advanced as far then as the high school graduates do now. They wasn't "graduated" but were sent to some college to further prepare themselves to instruct others if wanted to teach in any of our country schools. The advantage of the old one-room system was when a student advanced from one book to another, or to higher classes in the room they heard the recital of all the classes, from the lowest to the highest, and they would advance faster and better retain what they had gone through or passed by reason of hearing it repeated so much, and they grasped and retained ideas and facts from higher classes as they went along. When a student got to the top in a one room school he was prepared to teach or impart information to any class in that school, but as a rule, if he expected to teach, he had to attend some college before he was thought competent to teach. But now our high schools turn them out by the dozens with a graduate certificate and then most of them don't know enough to teach the class of tots and when they do get a job in our graded schools they have to commence with the lowest grades and lots of them are employed to teach in the country districts where they learn much themselves from some of the advanced students. I may be a little old timey, but lots of these high or graded schools turn out young ones as graduates that don't know beans, so far as an educator is concerned." The Doctor said Colby expressed himself so earnestly along those lines that he was amused and could not help but laugh sometimes when Uncle Colby emphasized his sentences with a pyrotechnic display of words which he sometimes used to impress his meaning. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg.2, Col 3&4--OUR HUNTSVILLE LETTER, By W. T. Dameron--(Edited by compiler)--The picture of Dr. Robert Terrill hangs on the wall in Dr. Barnhart's office and our conversation led to some of his characteristics. Dr. Robert Terrill was the father of the late Dr. Willard P. Terrill, with whom Dr. Barnhartt officed so long. The elder Terrill was one of the old time practitioners of the county and one of the best men in the country, who spent most of his life in the country near Darksville. His practice extended in all of northern Randolph, southern Macon and eastern Chariton counties. Dr. Barnhart graduated from a St. Louis medical school in 1875, for a year or two after his graduation, and before coming to Huntsville, he resided in the country home of his old friend and neighbor, Dr. Robt. Terrill, and practiced his profession, the old Doctor having quit active practice, though he was frequently called in for consultation by other physicians. Dr. Barnhartt related a number of humorous incidents which Dr. Terrill played in his professional calls on people whom he knew were subject to hysteria, and of no serious ailment. But we pass these at this time. But here is one the Doctor told me that might be of some benefit to watermelon growers for next year, as the melon season is about over for this year. While residing with the Terrill family back in the 70's, he and the old doctor concluded to plant a watermelon patch, though the old doctor was skittish about it, as some of the neighborhood boys generally beat him to his patch and got the largest ones first. But they planted a patch and Dr. Barnhartt hoed it at odd times, and they grew some fine melons. One morning he and the old Doctor went to the patch, thinking they would find one or more ripe melons, but found none that they thought were ripe enough to eat except one or two big ones, but thought it would be best to let them remain on the vine one day and night longer. The old Doctor had a suspicion that the boys would make a raid on the patch and he said to Dr. Barnhartt, pointing to the biggest melon, "I'm mighty afraid we will lose that melon if we leave it here." But Dr. Barnhartt didn't think anyone would raid the patch for a while, at least, and they left it on the vine with expectation of feasting on it within the next day or two. The next day they again visited the patch, and sure enough the old Doctor's surmises proved true--the big watermelon, and also others, were gone. So they concluded to "doctor" a few of the nicest melons that seemed the ripest. They had an idea who the boys were that got the big melons and when they would visit the patch again. They decided on the remedy they should use. The next day the doctor went to the patch and gave a few of the nicest melons several hypodermic shots each with ipacac, and marked them so none of the family would pull them. In a day or two thereafter some of the "shot" melons disappeared and about the same time the old doctor was called to see two very sick boys in the neighborhood. The two physicians knew in an instant what the trouble was and Dr. Barnhartt was sent to "diagnose" the cases and apply the remedy which he did with suppressed laughter, and the boys soon recovered, but watermelon was not mentioned. When the young Doctor returned home the old Doctor met him at the gate with that characteristic smile, for which he was famous, and they had a good laugh over the matter, and it is useless to say that the boys gave their melon patch a wide berth after that. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg.2, Col 4--OUR HUNTSVILLE LETTER, By W. T. Dameron--(Edited by compiler)--Our old friend, Zack Taylor, of Roanoke was in town a short while Saturday afternoon on business. Mr. Taylor is a successful farmer and trader. He is also the owner of "Uncle Bing," the largest steer known in the United States or the world. Uncle Bing pulls down the scales to the 3600 pound notch. Mr. Taylor purchased this steer when it was three years old from a Kansas farmer when buying mules in that state, paying a fancy price for him. Uncle Bing is now seven years old, hearty and healthy, Mr. Taylor says. Mr. Taylor has exhibited the steer at country fairs in other states besides Missouri most every season since he purchased him, and says he has cleared more than enough money on the steer to cover cost. He has refused the offer of $1,000.00 for him on several occasions. He recently returned home from Iowa where he exhibited him at some of the country fairs. While there he was offered 160 acres of land for the steer, located in the northern part of the state, but turned it down because he had not time to go and inspect the land. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright notice: All transcriptions in this email are copyrighted by their creator.

RENNOLDS INJURED--G. R. Rennolds went to Fayette Tuesday to see his brother, John M. Rennolds, who was quite painfully injured Sunday afternoon by being struck and knocked down by a motor car. Mr. Rennolds, who is totally blind, was taking his usual daily walk up and down the block in front of his house, and was struck by the car, driven by a neighbor, who was backing the car out of the driveway, and who could not see Mr. Rennolds who was directly behind the car, on account of the curtain, but was able to stop in time to keep from running over him. It was thought at first that Mr. Rennolds' hip might be broken, but he escaped, we are glad to say with only minor scratches and bruises. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg.1, Col 2--MRS. R. B. ALEXANDER DEAD--Mrs. R. B. Alexander, aged 79 years, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Manie Pipes, of Rocheport, on the 4th. Deceased was a sister of Miss Lucy Elgin formerly of this place, and will be remembered by many of our older residents. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg.1, Col 5--LOSES RESIDENCE BY FIRE--James Dougherty, who lives in the west part of town, just west of the Katy depot, had the misfortune to lose his home by fire early Sunday morning. The alarm was turned in about 11:30 Saturday night and those who were up or who were awakened had a great deal of trouble in locating the fire, as there was no blaze, the fire seemingly being between the walls, the only evidence of fire about the place being the smoke coming through the roof near the chimney. Higbee, generally, has about the best bunch of fire fighters we know of, but in this instance, we are sorry to say, they were far below par, and so far as we could judge, the house was pretty well wrecked, windows and doors being smashed, before the fire was located, if it ever was, and chemicals from the engine thrown into rooms where there was not even any smoke. The fighters probably recalled the burning of the John Robb home a few weeks ago, and perhaps thought the fire had smoldered a long time and that the house would burst into flames and cave in at any moment. In the general excitement and confusion, what household articles were saved were badly damaged, and when the crowd left about 1:30 Mr. Dougherty was likely regretting, from the general mess, that the house had not burned. Wherever the fire was, however, it had not been reached to the extent that it had been entirely extinguished, for about 4 a.m. the alarm was again sounded, and by the time the engine arrived on the scene the house had been pretty well reduced to ashes. It is not known how the fire originated, but it is thought from a defective flue. We are not advised as to what insurance Mr. Dougherty carried, if any. He has the sympathy of all. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg.1, Col 5--OLD PARTNERS TO GRAVE TOGETHER--By an unusual coincidence two men who had been business partners, next door neighbors and congenial companions for many years were buried in Paris the same day, the same hour, in the same cemetery this week. They were George W. Seibert and Henry C. Long. Mr. Long, who died in Hannibal, operated a drug store in Paris for a generation or more, during which time Mr. Seibert lived on an adjoining lot and spent most of his spare hours at the store. For several years they were partners in the ice business. Both were buried in Walnut Grove Monday afternoon--Monroe County Appeal. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg.1, Col 6--MRS. JULIA BARNES DEAD--Mrs. Julia Barnes, formerly of this place, died at her home in Stratford, Texas, on September 26, aged 72 years. She was the widow of Dow Barnes and moved from this vicinity to Texas some thirty-five years ago. She is survived by four children. She also leaves one brother, W. M. Burton of this place, and four half sisters--Mrs. John Pattrick of near town, Mrs. Lannie Burton, Mrs. Will Smith and Mrs. C. W. Creason, all of Moberly, and a half brother, Julius Ragsdale, of Madison. Interment was made in Kansas City last week. Mrs. Barnes had many friends in this community who learn of her death with the deepest regret. Thursday, 7 Oct 1926, Vol 40, No 23, Pg.2, Col 2&3--OUR HUNTSVILLE LETTER, By W. T. Dameron--(Edited by compiler)--Met our old friend, John Pogue, on the street the other day. Evidently John's honest mind must have been basking in the "moonlight" or other days when we chased the fox in the "white oaks" west of Higbee and north of Yates, as he greeted us with "how would you like to chase a fox today?" Bully fine day for the sport if I had a good horse and a pack of fox hounds, as of old, we replied. It's been more than 40 years since I was in a real old time fox chase, and more than 50 years since we commenced to follow such old time foxhounders as the late Capt. Geo. Yates, Robert Smith, Alex Malone, Bill Dawson, and my old friend, John T. Dysart, who is still with us in the flesh in the same territory mentioned above. In fact some of the most inspiring and "hairlifting" music that ever entered my ears was made by a pack of 12 to 15 hounds chasing a fox with those old timers back in the early 70's. Discussing some of those old time chases reminded Mr. Pogue of the first time he ever saw Capt. Yates in a fox chase--about the close of the Civil War. John was born in Sweet Owen County, Ky., in 1854. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Pogue, with their children, came to this county from Owen county in 1858. they came down the Ohio and up the Mississippi rivers to St. Louis by boat, and from there to Renick on the then North Missouri railroad. With household goods and among other things they brought with them six barrels of good old Owen county whiskey for family use and to treat their new neighbors and newly made acquaintances who called to welcome them to a home among them, as was the custom in that day. Just think of it, six barrels of pure whiskey for one family, and not a large family, either. The modern bootlegger would have a real picnic if he could strike something like that now. But that was nothing very striking back there in free whisky days. Every family kept whiskey in their home, more or less, in that day, and nothing strange was thought of it, and there were not as many "crazy" drunks then as now under the full bloom of prohibition and home brew illicit stuff. Well, with the family and the six barrels of "new life," came too blooded Kentucky fox hounds, a male and female. When the old foxhunter, Captain Yates, saw those two hounds, as the elder Pogue started on a hunt with him, the Captain said, "Milton, what are going to do with those two cur dogs? My hounds will lose them in a chase." I think they will keep up with old Boston, replied Mr. Pogue. "Old Boston" was Capt. Yates' favorite leader and trusty in a chase, and in reply to Mr. Pogue the Captain said, "Yes, like h--l they will." "Well, they soon had a fox going," said John, "and after a double or two it was seen that Old Boston was trailing the two Kentucky hounds, and Captain Yates' feathers began to fall, and he could not yell to encourage his pack of runners, old Boston, in particular. After about an hours' chase Mr. Pogue's two hounds caught the fox in the road near the old Hale house on Silver Creek north of Yates, and killed it some time before Mr. Yates' hounds came in sight, as the Captain couldn't establish an alibi in the chase he was greatly crestfallen, and Old Boston, like Dempsey, lost his crown. "Several months after the chase Mr. Pogue's female hound gave birth to a litter of 14 pups," said John, "and Mr. Yates was the first to speak for six of them. He got them, Uncle Bob Smith got two and other parties got four and we kept two. That was some litter of pups. Most of them made fine fox hounds, and were leaders in a chase." Mr. Pogue's elder brother, James, enlisted in the Confederate army in the latter part of 1861, and was a gallant soldier. He was a fine marksman and was a "sharpshooter" in the army. He was wounded seven times in engagements before he was killed in action in the bloody battle at Franklin, Tenn. He and Geo. N. Ratliff, of Moberly, were in the same company, were mess mates and fought side by side, and Mr. Ratliff received a wound in the arm at the same battled in which Mr. Pogue was killed. Mr. Ratliff has often stated that he never saw a better shot nor braver soldier than Jim Pogue. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright notice: All transcriptions in this email are copyrighted by their creator.

I agree with Kathy Bowlin. I too, think your Sterne/Quisenberry's are probably buried in Mt. Pleasant Union Christian Church. My great-great-great grandfather; Minter Henry BAILEY was an elder of this church. I have the following article about this church which was in Howard Co. Hope this helps: Mount Pleasant Union Christian church, situated in Bonne Femme township, Howard County, was organized by elders William White and John McCune in September, 1854. The organization numbered twenty-eight members when it was organized � twelve males and sixteen females, to wit: Males Females John Evans Minerva Davis Moses Cleeton Sara L Fisher Samuel Moody Nancy Bailey G. H. G. Jones Elizabeth Ancell Joseph McCune Rutha Estis Elijah Ancell Jane Bailey John Asbury Sarah A McCune Minter Bailey Sarah A Jones Edward S Davis Moriah Cleeton Anderson Johnson Agnes Asbury John McCune Mary Manning Thomas Ancell Lucinda Moody Sally Ann Gilvin Sarah J Johnson Sarah F Ancell The local elders were Minter H. Bailey and Edward S. Davis; the deacons, Thomas Ancell and Anderson Johnson. The church was organized at the Baldridge school-house; a house of worship was begun the same fall, which cost $700. Elder John McCune preached about nine or ten years until war troubles became so bad that he moved to the state of Illinois. The members have been greatly reduced by the organization of Locust Grove congregation, and also Newhope congregation, and by a number moving away. They now number only about 35 members. Elders at present: George W. Potter, Thomas Ancell, Elijah Ancell, Minter H. Bailey; deacons: Dr. Dougherty, Elisha Ancell and ED. St. Clair.
