Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's Pearls are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson County, Missouri WEDNESDAY 5 SEPTEMBER 1883 SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION - The 17th annual session of the Jefferson County Sunday School convention was held in a grove, on the banks of Big River, near Morse's Mill, on Tuesday, August 28, 1883, and was presided over by Mr. R.G. MORGAN, the president. There was a good attendance, including such old workers as Rev. J.C. DOWNER, and Messrs. N. SLAWSON, J.M. BAILEY and F. JENNI, who did most of the talking. R.W. McMULLIN, Phil. SLAWSON and W.R. DONNELL were committee on resolutions, and Rev. J.C. DOWNER, N. SLAWSON and J.M. BAILEY committee on nominations. The following recommended by the committee were elected officers for the ensuing year: W.R. DONNELL, president; vice-president Central township, J.F. GREEN; Joachim, J.M. BAILEY; Plattin, C.F. LEE; Valle, J.C. CAPE; Big River, Elijah BURGESS; Meramec, Rev. S. MEDLEY; Rock, T.W. GUY; secretary, R.W. McMULLIN; executive committee, Rev. J.C. DOWNER, J.M. SHELTON and W.T. NICCOLLS. A very elegant and bountiful dinner was furnished in the grove by Mrs. J.B. MORSE, Mrs. Wm. GRAHAM, Mrs. J.R. HARRISON and other ladies, and was partaken of with relish by all, and called forth the usual resolution of thanks. MAXVILLE- On the evening of the 23d inst., we had a severe storm of wind, rain and lightning, J. MILLER, near the Lutheran church, had a mule killed by lighting; Louis F--OM was visiting a neighbor, John ROSS(?), when the storm came up - the two men were standing near a mulberry tree, when the lightning splintered the tree and knocked them both down. REISS was not badly hurt, but Dr. SAPPINGTON was called in and staid the night with FLAMON(?) before he brought him to. He is now doing well. On the 21st, Mrs. Catharine, wife of George Jacob BECKER, died of heart disease, at the age of 85 years. Her husband is about the same age. August 13th, an infant son of Thomas SCHAEFER died, of inflamation of the brain, aged 15 months. Maxville, August 20, 1883. Mrs. Julia DOEBLER, daughter of Martin MEYER of this place, died Sunday afternoon at her father's home, after a lingering illness of about two years. She has many warm friends at this place. She only arrived home Saturday evening. WEDNESDAY, 12 SEPTEMBER 1883 Circuit court is in session this week, but judging for appearances there is not much to be done. The grand jury is composed of W.J. WILLIAMS, forman, and Thos. BYRNS, Abraham CROMWELL, J.W. TENBROOK, James BURGESS, J.R. WILLIAMS, Rob. RICHARDSON, Landan STRICKLAND, W.A. GAMEL, Louis ADAMS, J.R. McCULLOCH and John C. WATT. The following cases were disposed of during the first two days: HAVERSTICK vs.. railroad company, judgment for $12.85; LANDER vs.. PALMER, ejectment, judgment for plaintiff; SWART vs.. OSTERWALD, judgment for $513.67; ROUTER vs.. SATTLEMEYER, decree correcting deed and giving plaintiff possession; HORINE vs.. LANDOLT & EHERENBERG, for value of hogs, judgment for $103. J.B. COFFIN of Swifton, Ark., took in our county fair last week. James L. COUCH and Miss Leonora LONG were joined in wedlock, by 'Squire G.M. McFARLAND, on the 2nd inst. Mr. Johannes LUDWIG, of Crystal Station, died last Friday, aged 63 years. He was a man of great enterprise and a useful citizen. On Saturday evening, August 25, 1883, 'Squire John DUNNIGAN united in marriage, at the residence of the bride's father, George VOGT, Mr. Henry EHLERS and Miss Sarah Margaret VOGT. During the past two weeks marriage license; have been issued to William T. HUSKEY and Amanda A. COUCH, Curtis E. RICHARDSON and Alida WILLIAMS, James L. --UCH and Leonora LONG, Abraham CROMWELL and Katie KIDD, Charles A. PRATTE and Lattie J. EVANS, Daniel DONOVAN and -in A. MURPHY, Wm. SCHWALBERT and ---ina(?) BECKER, George VINYARD and Mag--- CROWLEY. The residence of Johannes LUDWIG, on Rockfort Hill, near Crystal Station, was destroyed by fire, last Wednesday night, the origin of the fire being a mystery. Mr. LUDWIG was in bed, sick at the time, but assistance came in time to remove him and most of the household goods. the house occupying such a prominent position, the flames lit up the country for many miles and were plainly seen in Hillsboro. We have not heard any estimate of the amount of loss or insurance. On the 31st ult., Mr. and Mrs. Thomas SMITH celebrated the tenth anniversary of their wedded life, at Crystal City. Quite a number of friends were present and Mrs. SMITH spread an excellent supper, of which all partook heartily. Music was furnished and all enjoyed themselves until a late hour. Mr. and Mrs. SMITH were the recipients of a number of nice presents, which were presented by friends in tokens of esteem. Mr. and Mrs. SMITH enjoy the reputation of being the largest couple in Crystal City, their combined weight being over 400 pounds. We hope they will live to celebrate many more anniversaries. The fatman and family attended the fair last Thursday, and had a pleasant time. While there we had the pleasure of meeting our old friends, Hans. BART, WALKER, Jasper BURKE and Bart. BROWN of St. Francois COUNTY, and Messrs. THOMAS, LYTLE and Cruise HIGGINBOTHAM, Barney FLYNN, Steve SHORE, Bob BROWN and Dr. TAYLOR of Washington County. The latter, although cotton-headed, was very spry and had a clean shave which lends us to; begin to suspect something. We are under obligations to Jos. C. FOX of De Soto, for favors extended on that day. The weather turned very cool in the evening, so much that the youngsters complained of being cold on the trip homeward. Not being desirous to pay a doctor bill, we stopped at Victoria and asked Mrs. C. MARSDEN for some quilts, which were willingly furnished, and for which favor we shall ever be gratefully remember this excellent lady. democr36

Hi Dave, Have you or anyone you know of came across a couple of graves with the surname CHAMP on them? Patty Frazer who was the list administrator for the Jefferson County mailing list once told me that she heard of them and they was on someone farm or land. I was just wondering if you ever came across them or heard of them Thank Janet

Carol Goggins and I have located what we believe is an unrecorded cemetery in Jefferson County Mo. It is located in T43 R3 S27. Although no "excepted out" deed has been located the land was first entered in 1840 by James Wilson who lost the land in a court suit. It appears on both the 1876 and 1898 atlas. Two monuments were found covered over appear to be of early "east coast" type and were in VERY worn condition. Monuments recorded in this cemetery are; This is in memory of SALLEY WILSON who departed this life May 23rd 1842 aged (?) years and 14 days This is in memory of JOHN WILSON who departed this life May the (rest unreadable) Not sure if they both died on the same date although both monuments are the same design. If anyone know about these two persons or this cemetery please contact me. Dave Hallemann [email protected]

1876 Atlas shows T41 R5e S5 is just north east of where my gg-grandfather Leander Hensley lived. He lived in T41 R4e S13, very close to the Sandy Covered Bridges. Looks like that LeMay Ferry road went by or through his property toward Antonio, two sections north a road turned off toward the east that went to Kimmswick. First section east after that junction was Section 5....W. F Rogers property was in that section in the Atlas. I had Hensleys living in T41 R5e S17 (Sur 1980), they were in Joachim twp.

Kay, this property was the Rogers Homestead area. It is located north of Goldman about 1 1/2 miles. It is where the Rogers Cemetery is. This is on a high hill. There is a creek that runs through the valley to the north and enters into Glaze Creek at Antonia. There is a fork there so I'm not sure if Glaze is this fork or the other; however my money would be on this one as the Roger Family was well known. In 1907 Kimmswick would be the nearest post office as both Goldman and Antonia closed in 1905. Dave Hallemann [email protected]

I'm not certain, but I would say it's in Central Township. Possibly Joachim Township or Rock Township, but Central Township is most likely. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=38.31639&lon=-90.48889&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=38.31639&lon=-90.48889&datum=NAD27&s=250&size=l Mike > Subject: Rogers, Fidelo T41 R5e S5? - Glaize Creek? > Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 19:31:00 EST > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > Can someone tell me if this propery description could be in Glaize Creek? > Rogers, Fidelo T41 R5e S5? > The 1907 directory lists him as Joachim twp. p.o.

The site is called Clerc's Specifics. The name is 'recycled' from a product manufactured by Pierre L. Clerc. Its URL is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_jefferson.htm There was nearly a 'tie' in the vote to name the site Clerc's Clues or Clerc's Couriers, with Clerc's Clues ahead by only 5 votes. In the middle of the night, the idea for the other name came to me. It may not be as catchy as other choices, but I couldn't resist. The mountain size project, of searching thru years of old newspapers for a specific advertisement, started after finding an original container of Clerc's Specific (a poultry medication). My great grandfather manufactured several products: Clerc's Stove Polish Clerc's Specific Clerc's Disinfectant Insect Powder Clerc's Chicken Food Clerc's Egg Producer Clerc's Chicken-Lice Killer Clerc's Condition Powders If these products hadn't been 'specifically' listed throughout the old newspapers, I would have never known about them, so it seemed a rather unique idea to 'recycle' the name Clerc's Specific and add an 's'. There are only a few issues posted at the moment, but the site should be updated soon. Several additional months already have the surnames checked, been proofread and the layout improved. There are also a few names left off the volunteer list, which will be fixed. We appreciate knowing about additional corrections that are needed. The volunteer team has posted over 500 transcriptions to date. Nearly 4 years are transcribed, which is almost 20% of what has currently been copied (1890-1899 and 1911-1921). Plans are being made to next include years 1900-1910. We will begin to post transcriptions directly to Clerc's Specifics, and will send a notice to the MOJEFFER list at each update. Additional volunteers who would like to help transcribe are always needed! Thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm and interest in our project. -Kay, FL

COUDEN, the blind chaplain of the House of Representatives, has lately had to endure a further affliction. His devoted wife, who for many years has guided his steps every morning to the Capitol for the opening exercises of the House has suffered a paralytic stroke, and his daughter has now taken her place. In appreciation of his many years of service the House, on motion of one of the Republican leaders has adopted a special resolution granting a substantial increase to Mr. COUDEN’S salary. A Democratic member from Indiana interposed a characteristic objection to such “extravagance”, but he was promptly overruled. Rep. RUREAU. ~ Robbers Caught ~ Stanley C. DAVIS, alias KING and Joseph HAWKINS, the youngsters who were arrested by Carrol BYRD for the robbery of Funk’s Drug Store at Festus, were taken to St. Louis Thursday by Sheriff CLARK and United States Post Office Inspector, B. F. CAIN. the boys were wanted by the Post Office apthorities[sic] for robbery of the post office at Maupin, Missouri. It is understood that they have the postal stuff cached in St. Louis and they were taken there to locate it as well as the remainder of the stuff stolen from the drug store. Davis, altho only about 21 years old is said to have a police record from coast to coast and to have Bertillion measurements in most of the principal cities of the country. It is not known whether they will be prosecuted here for the robbery of the drug store or turned over to Uncle Sam, but in any event the young men face a long term of penal servitude as they have admitted their guilt to both cases or so we are informed. [page 1, column 6] ~ Cost of the War ~ Fourteen nations made up of fifty different races are involved in the war which has made Europe a slaughterhouse for two years and a half, and according to the latest estimates, a toll of more than six million lives has been taken at the war fronts, to say nothing of the thousands of non combatants who have died. The contending nations are: Russia, Italy, Ronmania[sic], Serbia, Japan, Montenegro, Portugal, Central Powers - Germany, Austria, Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria. In addition to the dead, placed at six million, it I estimated by the War Study Society of Copenhagen that the wounded on Dec. 1st, totaled 13,119,516 and that the invalids numbered 3, 935,938. And the missing, thos whose fates? will never be known, it is estimated will reach nearly five million. The heaviest losses of the war, as estimated by the War Study Cociety up to the first of the month are distributed as follows: Country Dead Wounded Austria 718,000 1,117,000 Belgium 50,000 116,000 Bulgaria 25,000 60,000 England 205,000 532,000 Fra[nce] 886,290? 2,225,000 Germany 885,000? 3,116,000 Italy 103,000 215,000 Russia 1,498,000 3,320,000?

MOZLEY of Bloomfield, who for many years has represented the Iron Mountain Railroad in this and other southeast Missouri counties has resigned his position to succeed to the position held by Judge Moses WHYBARK as General Attorney for the Frisco. Judge WHYBARK gave up the place which he has held since the Frisco came into this territory and has made a splendid official for that railroad. MOZLEY has made a splendid reputation as a successful lawyer, and has endeared himself to the people of the county with whom he associated during this trips here. He is an orator of the convincing sort and is a man of large information, of broad gauge, of liberal ideas and of high ideals as to social and civic life. He will no doubt make Cape Girardeau his headquarters and is sure to be a force in that city. Mr. H. H. LARRIMOR, who has been assistant to Judge James F. GREEN at the general law office of the Missouri Pacific Ry. in St. Louis will have charge of Jefferson, Iron and Washington Counties. J. C. SHEPPARD at Poplar Bluff will have charge of BUTLER, STODDARD, RIPLEY and WAYNE and W. C. RUSSSELL at Charleston will have charge of the remaining couties[sic] of Southeast Missouri. ~ Pierre L. CLERC Convicted ~ Pierre L. CLERC, charged with assault with intent to kill Felix LEUTZINGER was convicted and fined $100.00 by a jury in the circuit court this week. It is said that the jury originally stood 8 for acquittal and 4 for conviction and on the next ballot 9 for acquittal. CLERC’s defense was that he was temporarily insane, due to the fact that he claimed that LEUTZINGER had invaded and despoiled his home. LEUTZINGER denied all or any improper action and the trial resulted as stated. CLERC will not appeal from the decision and it is hoped that this will be the end of the matter, altho there is some talk that CLERC will sue LEUTZINGER for damages. ~ Marriage Licenses ~ Conrad BAUMGARTH..............St. Louis Margaret HEINEMAN...............

In Advance Hillsboro, Mo, Thursday, January 18, 1917 ~ News Comment And Editorial ~ The United States Supreme Court has upheld what is known as the Web-Kenyon Act, and every state will have complete control of the sale of intoxicating liquors. Hereafter prohibition states may forbid the conveyance into the state of liquors, and consequently interstate carriers would not be protected for violation of such a law. It looks very much as though the prohibition idea is gaining ground constantly and it is propheted by many well informed men that the Republican and Democratic parties in their next national platform utteranaces will declare for prohibition. What we think, more likely, is that William Jennings BRYAP will again seek the Presidency as the nominee of a National Prohibition Pary. Col. W. F. CODY is reported dying at this home near Denver, Colorado. He is better known to the youth and to most of the citizens of the country as “Buffalo Bill”. He is about the last of the picturesque figures of the country famous as a mighty hunter and scout and[sic] did some real service for his country, without ever having gained the reputation of being a gun man, the, there were perhaps few men in the country more expert than he in the use of rifle and revolver “The Leak” at Washington is still agitating Congress.When men make fortunes on the stock market, on advance information of Presidential action likely to affect the market, it is time to make a thorough investigation and ascertain and make public the names of the guilty parties. On another occasion it will be remembered that fortunes were made on the market by the giving of such advance information and no one ever brought to account. If a leak exists it certainly ought to be stopped. The Children’s Code legislation to come before the Legislature at this session is very important and should be adopted. The code in brief provides for the establishment of juvenile courts in the counties; for the payment of pensions by the counties to poor mothers with little children whose fathers are dead or in institutions, so that they may raise their own children at home; for the protection of children born out of wedlock, compelling the fathers to support them whent he fathers can be reached; for the guardianship of child workers for the revision of laws pertaining to marriage, and for many other measures of a related nature, all designed to carry out the principle of child protection and nurture. Some of these details we will discuss later. The code calls for no appropriations of money by the state, and the expenditure of money by the counties rests with the counties themselves. There can be no objection to the code, therefore, on financial grounds. It can be considered solely on its merits as an advanced and enlightened system of laws for the welfare of the children of Missouri. There is no party question involved in it. Whatever may be the differences of opinion as to detail, every member of the Legislature ought to be for it and work for it.
