Thanks for the information. Jeff Jeppson

I am looking for information on the Samuel C. Owens family. He appears to have been in the Blue Mound area of the County in 1830 and 1840. I did not see him in the 1850 Census. Another researcher seems to have noticed that he might have been a Circuit or County Clerk. I would like Probates, where buried and other family members. A Ambrose Young Owens lived in Platte, Missouri and was married to a Helen Calvert. Jeff Jeppson

"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Friday, April 7, 1882 THE FUNERAL PROCESSION. Kearney, Mo., April 5 Long before noon the town was full of people. The funeral procession started for the Baptist church, in which Jesse was converted in 1866. The edifice was filled, and for many there was standing room only. The pall bearers were J. D. FORD, Deputy Marshal J. T. REED, Charles SCOTT, James HENDERSON, and William BOND. There was another, a sixth pall bearer, a rather mysterious character, whom none of the other five seemed to know. He seemed to have charge of the cortege and directed the movements, but neither his fellow pall bearers or the by standers knew who he was. He was a stout and well preserved man, of perhaps 40 years, and seemed to understand what he was about, but no one could say who he was or where he came from. The relatives, consisting of Mrs. SAMUELS, Mrs. JAMES and two children, Mr. and Mrs. Luther W. JAMES, Mrs. HALL and Mrs. MIMMS, were seated beside the coffin, placed in front of the altar. The services were opened by singing the hymn, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Rev. R. H. HONES of Lathrop, read a passage of Scripture from Job, commencing, "Man born of woman is of few days, and full of trouble." Also the 4th and 5th verses of the 39th Psalm, beginning, "Lord make me to know mine end." He offered up a touching and pathetic prayer for the grief stricken mother, wife and children, asked the Lord to make their bereavement a blessing to them, by leading them to a true knowledge of himself. THE FUNERAL SERMON Rev. J. M. P. MARTIN, pastor of the church, as an introduction to his discourse said: We all understand that we can not change the state of the dead. Again it would be useless for me to bring any new information before this congregation respecting the life and character of the deceased. The text which I have chosen to day is the 24th chapter of Matthew, 44th verse: Therefore be ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh. (Sermon continued for several paragraphs.) Rev. J. M. P MARTIN's final comments: Before the coffin is taken from the house, I have been asked to make one or two requests. As John SAMUELS in very low on account of the shock caused by the death of his brother, and as the grave is very near the house, Mrs. SAMUELS asks that those who are here will not go out to the house. It is feared that the excitement of seeing so many persons present will injure him. It is therefore requested that none but the friends and relatives go to the grave. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

Jody, Do you work in the applications portion of DAR? I jumped through hoops backward to get mine. I submitted over thirty different pieces of documentation; wills, census records, death certificates, Birth certificates, marriages certificates, pension applications just to name a few. I think they are pretty tough and I am very proud of mine.

2/18/05 Dear John & all: The article you published about Jesse James brings back lots of memories. My maternal grandmother, Maud Riley Kennedy, heard the shot that killed Jesse James. She was living about a city block away in St. Joseph at the time, & was 7 years of age. I knew her & even knew her mother (i.e., my grandmother). My maternal great-grandfather, John Titus Flinn (1843 - 1915) was a carpenter & home-builder who, in fact, built the little home in which James was shot. He had built it for a politician in St. Joe who never subsequently lived in it but rented it to the Howard/James family. (I've seen this little house, which is on the grounds of a hotel there now). My grandmother died in 1958. By the way, my GGF, GGM, & grandmother all thought JJ was a traveling salesman (which would explain his frequent absences) & the kids in the neighborhood--my grandmother included--loved him for the candy he distributed many times during the year. It's an interesting story. I'm 75 years old & was born & raised in Kansas City, MO. I've since lived in Las Cruces, NM; Albuquerque, NM; Scottsdale, AZ; & Palo Alto, CA. Since retirement in 1992, my wife, my oldest son, & I have lived in this house in the oldest part of Rio Rancho, NM. (RR is the largest suburb of Albuquerque). Many thanks. Daniel O'Connell

"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Friday, April 7, 1882 Kearney, April 6. --- Yesterday was a holiday at Kearney, near which is the home of Mrs. SAMUELS, mother of Frank and Jesse JAMES. Kearney is a town of between 400 and 500 inhabitants. situated on the Hannibal and St. Joe railway, twenty-four miles from Kansas City. At an early hour from all directions came people on the trains, on horseback and in vehicles, anxious to gaze upon the remains of the dead bandit. The metallic casket containing the body was taken to the Kearney house upon its arrival at 2:45 a.m. It was placed upon chairs in the office, and during the forenoon and a portion of the afternoon, was surrounded by friends, relatives and strangers anxiously peering into the pallid features. No one who claimed to know him in life doubted that the remains were those of Jesse JAMES. Photographs of the deceased in possession of "The Times" correspondent were compared with the corpse, and admitted by many of his friends to be genuine. No ill will was engendered or if any existed, those possessing it were careful not to let their passions get the better of them. It seemed to be understood by every one except the mother and wife, that the solemnity of the occasion demanded that every thing be done decently and in order. Mrs. SAMUELS, however, showed by her conversation, her gestures, and her declamations, which were loud and vehement, and given with a view to the climax, that she is a woman of great dramatic power, which, had she been educated for the stage, would have placed her in the first rank of tragediennes. The JAMES family are nothing unless dramatic or tragic. Following close upon the heels of the mother came the wife. Both used the occasion not to give vent to their grief in tears, but to orate upon every opportunity. Both showed a familiarity with the Great Ruler of the universe that one would hardly expect to discover in the near female relatives of bandits. Amid sobs and wails, which on the part of the mother were unaccompanied by tears, at least to the reporter's gaze, who looked very scrutinizingly for them, they lauded the deceased, denounced his slayers and the officers of the law and sought to stir the hearts of their friends until they would boil over with righteous indignation and anger. But all had the good sense to keep cool and no trouble resulted. These women who had condoned the lawless deeds of the dead son and husband and sided and abetted him in his crimes; who felt no pity for the many mothers, wives, sisters and children of men who had been hurried into eternity by his bullets, talked volubly of "cold blooded murder," assassination and "wickedness that God will surely punish." They seemed more touched in their pride, than shocked in their tender feelings for the deceased. He was their idol, not for his virtues and manliness, but because of his daring in attempting and accomplishing desperate deeds, and his skill in slaying his fellow men, and his luck in escaping unharmed. The mother had boasted that he was "so quick that no man could get the drop on him." To have him shot from behind while unarmed by one of his pupils in crime, whom his suspicious nature did not mistrust, was too much for her to endure. Over his coffin she announced as much. That she is humbled in her pride, her hopes shattered and her feelings outraged is also apparent. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, April 4, 1882 THE TRAGEDY. St. Joseph, Mo., April 4. --- About 10 o'clock this morning a hurried report was made in this city that Jesse JAMES had been shot and killed at his home in the south part of this city, where he has been residing for the past six months, under the assumed name of HOWARD. In a few minutes, an immense throng was on its way to the place designated, and on arrival there, found the report verified, and Jesse JAMES dead, he having been assassinated by two members of the gang, Charles and Robert FORD, of Ray county, both of whom immediately surrendered themselves to the authorities. One of them confesses having wounded the express messenger in the Blue Cut robbery. The house where the great outlaw was killed is a frame building, a story and a half high, setting in a little grove of fruit trees on one of the round ridges back of the World's hotel. It commands a view of the approaches for a long distance. The wife of the outlaw at first insisted that the name of the dead man was HOWARD, but later made a full confession of the whole affair, along with a history of the robberies in which her husband had been engaged. She said they resided last summer in Kansas City, but had removed to this city where Jesse hoped to reside in peace and earn an honest living. They brought with them the two FORD boys who had since been living in their house. These boys are mere youths, apparently between 15 and 20 years age. This morning, after breakfast, Robert FORD and Jessie went into the sitting room to do some work about moving a stove, and Charles was assisting her in the kitchen washing dishes. After a little, Charles also went into the room where the two men were, soon after she heard a shot and rushing in she found her husband laying on the floor shot to death, while on a chair lay his pistol, belt and cartridges which he had removed while at work with the stove. The FORD boys both ran from the house, one jumping over the rear fence, the other running around by the front way. They both returned again and then started to the city to deliver themselves up and claim the reward offered for Jesse JAMES. They first come to the marshal's office, but finding him out, went direct to the sheriff and gave themselves into custody. Soon after the shooting, the reporters were informed by Coroner HEDDENS that a man had been shot and killed on Thirteenth and Lafayette streets. Reaching the place indicated, and on approaching the door leading into the front room, a man was found lying upon the floor cold in death, with blood oozing from his wounds. From the few who had gathered around the door, more from curiosity than anything else, it was inquired what was the cause of the shooting. None of them knew, but said we could find out from the man's wife, who was in the rear room. Walking into the room and passing around the dead man's body, we opened the door leading into the kitchen, where we found the wife and two little children, a boy and a girl. When she discovered us with note book in hand, she began to scream and said: Please do not put this in the paper. At first she refused to say any thing about the shooting, but after some time she said the boys who had killed her husband had been living with them for some time, and that their names were JOHNSON, but no relation. Charles, she said, was her nephew, but she had never seen Robert until he came home with her husband a few weeks ago. Robert was an old friend of her husband, and when he met him upon the street he invited him to come and see them. He came home with them that night and had remained ever since. When asked what her husband name was, she said it was HOWARD and that they had resided here about six months. "Where was your home prior to moving here, Mrs. HOWARD?" asked the reporter. "We came from Baltimore here and intended to rent a farm and move to the country, but so far have been unsuccessful." "Had your husband and the two JOHNSON boys ever had any difficulty?" "Never. They have always been on friendly terms." "Why, then, did they do the deed?" "That is more than I can tell. Oh, the rascals!" And at this she began to cry and ask God to protect her. "Where were you when the shooting was done?" "I was in the kitchen, and Charley had been helping me all morning with my work. He entered the first room, and in about three minutes I heard the report of a pistol; and upon opening the door I discovered my husband lying in his own blood upon the floor. I ran to the front door and Charles was getting over the fence, but Robert was standing in the front yard with a pistol in his right hand. I says: Oh you have killed him, and he answered: No, he didn't kill him, and turning around, walked into the kitchen and then left with Charles, who was waiting for him outside the fence." At this juncture the two JOHNSON boys made their appearance and gave themselves up to the officers, telling them the man they had killed was Jesse JAMES and now they claim the reward. Those who were standing near by drew their breaths in silence at the thought of being so near Jesse JAMES, even if he was dead. Marshal CRAIG said: My God, do you mean to tell us that this is Jesse JAMES? Yes, answered the two boys in one breath. That man is Jesse JAMES and we have killed him and don't deny it. We feel proud that we have killed a man who is known all over the world as the most notorious desperado that has ever lived. THE WIFE'S FINAL CONFESSION. "How are we to take your words for this?" asked the marshal. "We do not ask you to take our words. There will be proof enough. The confession of the wife will be enough." The marshal then took Mrs. HOWARD, as she called herself, into the room, and told her the name of her husband was not HOWARD, but JAMES. She denied it at first, and when the marshal left her, the reporter entered the room, in company with three or four other gentlemen and one lady, who was present. Mrs. HOWARD, it is said your name is not HOWARD, but JAMES, and you are the wife of Jesse JAMES. "I can't help what they say. I have told the truth." The boys who killed your husband have come back and given themselves up, and they say that he is Jesse JAMES and your husband. "Oh, is it possible they have come back. I can't believe it," and placing her arms around her little boy and girl, who were standing by her side, she wept bitterly. All present told her it would be much better for her to tell the truth, that the public would think more of her and that she would not want for any thing. "My God, can it be that they have come back." She was told that they were standing outside the house near the fence, and she should go and see them with her own eyes. Walking through the room by her dead husband she caught sight of the ones who had killed her husband, and screaming at the top of her voice, she called them cowards, and asked them why they killed the one who had always befriended them. Then turning to the body of Jesse, she prayed that she and her children might be in death's cold embrace by his side. She then left the room, followed by the reporters, who told her that the boys were not mistaken, that it certainly must be Jesse. She uttered not a word, but the little 7 year old boy who stood by her side said: God Almighty may strike me down if it is not pa. The boys say their names are FORD and not JOHNSON as you said, continued the reporter. "Do they say so, and what else do they say?" That they killed him to get the reward. Holding her dear little children closer to her bosom, she said: "I can't shield them long. Even after they had shot my husband, who has been trying to live a peaceable life, I protected them and withheld their names, but it is all true. My husband is Jesse JAMES, and a kinder hearted and truer man to his family never lived." This confession from the wife of the most notorious outlaw known to the annals of criminal history created a profound sensation. The thought that Jesse JAMES has lived among us for the past six months, and walked our streets daily, causes one to shudder with fear. When the wife had made her confession, we asked her to tell all about Jesse, Frank, and the FORD boys who had killed him. She said she would, but begged us to do all for her we could to keep them from dragging her husband's body over the country. We promised to do this and also told her that she and her children should be taken care of. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== Note: other postings regarding the Jesse JAMES family can be seen on the Jesse James Message Board of RootsWeb.
