"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, June 20, 1894 MRS. FINK WANTS HER SISTER. Judge DOBSON granted a writ of habeas corpus at the request of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. FINK yesterday afternoon for the possession of Mrs. FINK's little sister. Mrs. FINK was formerly a Miss Kate DUFFY. Her mother died several years ago and requested that she care for her little sister, Mabel, who was then about 3 years old. The elder sister consented and cared for the little one several years, when, finding that she could not support and educate her, placed the child in the care of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick DURKER, who live at 804 East Ninth street. The elder sister married recently and has endeavored to have Mr. and Mrs. DURKER give up the child, who is now 13 years of age. They not only refused to do so, but would not permit Mrs. FINK to call to see her sister. In her petition the sister says that Mr. and Mrs. DURKER are not proper persons to have the custody of the child, and that they compel her to frequent low places of amusement and dance on the stage. She is compelled to associate with depraved men and women, they claim, and is being taught lessons of vice and immorality. They asked that a writ of habeas corpus be issued instructing the sheriff to bring the child into court, and that they be awarded its custody. The writ was issued and made returnable at 9:30 this morning. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

PULHAMUS, $250 alimony in gross and $25 per month until further order of the court. Mr. PULHAMUS was formerly a clerk in the Caro Furniture company, and lost his job when that institution failed. While the divorce suit was pending, Judge DOBSON ordered him to pay his wife $5 per week alimony. He did not do so, claiming he had no money and could find no employment.

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Friday, June 8, 1917 AT WESTPORT, 288 GRADUATES. The largest high school graduating class in the city banked the platform in the assembly hall of Westport High School last night high up against the flag. There were 288 graduates, just one less than last year. The girl graduates wore white dresses and uniform bouquets of red roses and the boys white trousers and blue coats. By tacit agreement there was to be no applause during the presentation of diplomas, in order to save time. Only once was the rule broken, when the former Miss Miriam SPILLER, now Mrs. N. B. MILLER, Jr., received hers. Mr. MILLER is a teacher in science at the high school. The Rev. Morris H. TURK gave the graduation address and D. M. PINKERTON of the school board presented the lofty pile of diplomas. After the exercises, the final issue of the school paper, the "Herald," made its appearance in attractive form and full of good cuts, half tone and pen-and-ink. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, June 5, 1917 PUPIL MARRIED A TEACHER. This is one of those secrets that are kept by "telling just the folks and a few close friends." In other words, it isn't a secret at all. And the students of Westport High School are buzzing into one another's ears about the wedding of Miss Miriam SPILLER, who is to be graduated next Thursday, and N. B. MILLER, Jr., a teacher in science in the school. The wedding took place at the home of Miss SPILLER, 3635 Wabash Avenue, Saturday night. Her sister, Miss Grace SPILLER, was married at the same time to H. W. FORD. It was all to be kept quiet, they decided, because of the embarrassment and all that sort of thing. Certain details attendant upon past weddings of teachers and students would thereby be avoided. Of course, Mr. MILLER could tell his best friend, and he'd "keep" it. And Miss SPILLER hadn't the slightest doubt her confidante would never breathe a word. In order to clinch the secrecy, someone told someone else, and he told someone who told it to "The Star." And there you have the story of how it "got out." The young couple will live with the bride's parents until she is graduated; then they will tour the East until school opens next fall. Mrs. MILLER is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. SPILLER. Her husband has taught at Westport four years. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, June 28, 1917 "SIR, LET ME SEE YOUR CARD!" A bridal party, amid a shower of rice and popcorn, entered the Union Station shortly before 11 o'clock last night. The bride and groom rushed through the lobby and down the waiting room to the far end to their train with a group of shouting friends close behind. The bride kissed her friends good-by and the groom shook hands with his pals. All was joy and then ------ Two cops halted the newlyweds just as they were about to pass through the gate to their train. "Just a minute," said one sternly to the young man, "have you registered?" The laughter ceased, the bride's smile faded, the groom reddened, stammered an apology and asked the policeman to step aside as he had no time for trivial matters. "Nothing trivial about this," shot back the gruff policeman. "You produce your registration card or you go to the station with us." Heated argument followed in which the groom pleaded to be permitted to call Chief FIAHIVE and explain, and then threatened to sue the patrolmen; the mothers interceded and the bride started to cry. Then the "rude" cop laughed, the groom "registered" consternation, the friends shouted, the crowd in the station which had gathered around to see the excitement smiled, and the couple hurried through the gate. It had been a frameup. The bride formerly was Miss Mary Kathryn McKENNA, 3341 Baltimore Avenue, and the groom was John NANGLE, formerly of this city, now a lawyer in St. Louis. The wedding was yesterday morning and Mr. and Mrs. NANGLE were on their way to Chicago for their honeymoon before "settling down" in St. Louis. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

It will be a stubborn battle, with a man's life at stake. An ingenious attorney will plead emotional insanity, while able attorneys for the state will allege and seek to prove it only a cowardly murder, having for its basis the most improbable tale ever told as an excuse for taking a life. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these people but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

Traci, We need to talk! <smile> I live in Columbia also, for a bit over two years. You have found stuff I didn't know existed! Email me if you'd like to meet another genealogy fanatic and I'll send you my phone number. Vanette Hamilton

Howdy Central Missouri Genealogy Listers and Happy New Year! In case I haven't told you all lately (I've sorta been incognito) -- I moved to Columbia from Long Beach, CA in March of 2004. Big change from sunny, crowded and air polluted Southern California. Time for a little space and change of scenary. I'm getting settled and of course; and I am enjoying being near the Western Historical Manuscript Collection, the State Historical Society, Boone and Cooper Historical societies and Jefferson City's archives. This past week I went to Jeff City where they now have death records noted in books from 1910 to 1954. If you appear in person you can request up to 10 death certificates per day -- for a buck each. I made a run at my first 10 -- and ended up with two that aren't mine: Alonzo Clay Smith (wife is A. N. Clay) B. Oct. 20, 1887 D. Dec. 1, 1937 His father was Columbus Clay and mother was Betha Rimel Buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery He had been treated at the Dr. Alex VanRavenswaay Clinic William Henry Smith (wife Nora Smith) B. June 15, 1861 D. April 27, 1939 His father was George F. Smith and mother was Beth Ann Andrews (All of Howard CO., Missouri) William Henry was a retired railroad employee -- and is buried at Walnut Grove Cemetery. If either of these folks are yours.. I will be happy to send you a scan of the birth certificate upon request. Recently I have been researching African American CLAY, DREW, SMITH, FIELDS, WILLIAMS and PAGE families from Boonville and Bunceton. I believe there are also some ties to Sedalia, KC and St. Louis. I have also been able to connect quite a number of slaves with various owners -- and then catch up to them on the 1870 census for Cooper and Boone Counties. More on that later. Best regards, Traci L. Wilson-Kleekamp African Americans in Missouri 2905 Greenbriar Dr. Columbia, MO 65203 www.missouri-slave-data.org P.S. yes, yes, yes, I am going to update my website and yes -- I am still open to receiving slave related data.

GOSLIN, HURST, SMITH, WASKY "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Wednesday, October 20, 1897 IS FOUR SCORE YEARS OLD. The war of 1812 had just closed when Mrs. Nancy B. WASKY, who has lived at Westport for many years, was born. She was born in North Carolina eighty-two years ago, and despite her advanced years, she is in possession of all her faculties and is enjoying the best of health. She lives in a commodious house at No. 4026 Summit street, in Westport. There she was given a surprise party last night by a large number of friends, in honor of her birthday. Her parents moved to Kentucky when she was a small child, and a few years afterwards, moved to Van Buren county, Ia., of which state her father was one of the prominent pioneers. She was married there about 1841, and soon afterwards moved with her husband to Westport, where she has since resided. Mr. WASKY was a prominent merchant of Westport for a great many years and died suddenly of heart disease eighteen years ago. His widow, who is familiarly known as "Grandma" WASKY, has raised a family of six children, all of whom are living. One child died in infancy. Her living children are the following: John F. WASKY, postmaster of Oswego, Kas. T. P. WASKY, a merchant of Pittsburg, Kas. Mrs. Virginia HURST, who lives with her daughter, Mrs. D. Smith, in this city Mrs. Dr. GOSLIN, of Springfield, Mo. Mrs. G. F. SMITH, of Gallatin, Mo. Miss Mollie WASKY, who lives with her mother at the old homestead "Grandma" WASKY has ten grandchildren and two great- grandchildren, the older of which is 7 years old. Mrs. WASKY has been a member of the church since she was 15 years old and has been a member of the Westport Cumberland Presbyterian church for thirty years. Her daughters, who are all musicians of ability, have during the past twenty years furnished most of the music for the church. Mrs. WASKY walks seven blocks to church almost every Sunday. She is always the first member of her household to rise in the morning, which she does about daybreak, and does most of the housework. Though most of Mrs. WASKY's children are Democrats, she herself is a strong Republican and keeps abreast of all the news of the day. She can discuss current political events with the best posted. In this simple, pleasant way, she is spending her declining years, surrounded by her children and her children's children, awaiting the final summons with cheerfulness and confidence. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
