[page 2, column 3] ~ Lone Dell Items ~ Although we were quite silent the past fall we were nevertheless “up and doing”, in fact, we were all so very busy that it seems as though nobody found time to send in any news from here. It was with us as the old saying has it, “still waters run deep”, so then, here we send in a few ripples to show that at last a sort of winter lull has set in. The diligence and ambition of our people was distributed over various fields of activities beginning with the harvesting of fall crops and followed up by fall plowing and road building. Some note-worthy work was done along these lines, especially the gravelling of the road leading from the e [Le?] May Ferry to Mr. Theo. BECK’s store. The Lone Dell school has also been doing some good work. The school is now well organized and was placed on the approved list. An entertainment was given in November which was well attended. A sad occurance must also be related from here. The home of Mr. Alois OTT was visited by that dread disease, diphtheria. Different members of the family were affected and it proved fatal with their only and well beloved little daughter, Pauline, aged six. She was well several days before her end came and was sick only a very short time. She was a bright and clever little girl, brim full of life, always singing laughing and gayly hopping she came tripping along. In her we lose a cheerful companion, a bright scholar, and th eparents, a loving and also beautiful daughter. Our heartfelt sympathies are with the sorrow stricken parents whose grief might well be imagined. Mike ULRICH and wife were holiday visitors with Mrs. ULRICH of this vicinity; others home fro the holidays were Mr. and Mrs. Albert MALL, Miss Julia RITTERBUSCH, Frank LORENZ and Adolph RITTERBUSCH. ~ High Ridge Items ~ The weather has been very good for colds and many have them. John CHOTT, Blacksmith at Murphy between here and Fenton was kicked by a horse one day last week and had his arm broken in two places. Henry KREINHEDER ran off the road New Year’s evening with his Chevrolet. His machine skidded where the road was narrow and got into deep mud. He went home and got his team of quadrupeds, of the long eared type and they finished the journey. The Cedar School Board went to St. Louis one day last week and purchased a nice new piano and placed it in the school. Forty dollars of the money was made by entertainments and box suppers. The debate Friday evening was not very largely attended because of bad roads. The debate was interesting as well as profitable and all show much enthusiasm. Mr. and Mrs. BONACKER of House Springs were present and Mr. BONNEKER took a prominent part in the debate. Mrs. BONACKER and Mr. WALLACH of Rankin also made very interesting speeches. Joe BANTEK also took part. The next debate will be Friday evening, January 19th. The subject is; “Resolved, That Women Should Vote”. Everybody invited. We are certain that no one will regret attending as we have some good debates and will also have a small program. Why don’t other neighborhoods organize and have debating contests with each other? Mr. HENRICKS had an accident while coming from St. Louis Saturday. He upset his truck at the bottom of the Meramec Hill from Fenton. We un[sic] and ran into a small creek. He was not hurt.

We had an entertainment at our parochial school which was a success. The pupils were well trained by the Sisters and Rev. Father KUTZ, who is will liked and highly respected. The people of this parish have presented him with a new auto to show their gratitude for the good work he has done during the past eight years he has been with us. There was a dance at Frank DIEHL’S New Year’s eve which was well attended by young and old. Late in the evening lunch was served which consisted of weiners, frankfurters and excellent pies and refreshments of which they all partook to their hearts content. Dancing was kept up to a late hour. I saw an item in your paper from Buffalow Hill by which the writer refers to Rock Creek, trying to make fun of people living in this vicinity. I suppose he was offended by the empty jug, well it is empty and I hope it will always be, therefore, I will kindly refer the knocks to some saloon and also to some good school where his understanding may be improved.

Since he was lived a consistent christian life. He loved his family and labored with his hands that he might be able to supply their needs. He was a friend to humanity and was always willing to help those who came to him for assistance. His kindness commended the respect and good will of all who knew him. He was an honest man and a useful citizen, a loving father and a consecrated christian, and his influence in each of these spheres will long live.

sorry to offend you, I did put current events in the subject line, if you don't like current events comparisons, don't read the email titled current events I was just comparing the values of the forefathers of the area, this particular store opened yesterday WITH OUT a licenese, it was denied by the city 2x and very obvious the City does not want it there. But either way, it is open for business illegally........I am sure this will something that is talked about down the road just like we read the past paper and are amazed by what took place. It has been a long and will be a long court battle. Whether you or others patronize stores like this does not matter, but the citizens don't want it....

This issue has been in the local news for a long time, I wonder if the founding fathers ever dreamed this would be a business in their area!! http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=74665 Residents Protest Plans For X-Rated Business To Open In Crystal City created: 2/7/2005 10:43:45 PM updated: 2/8/2005 10:00:45 AM By Cordell Whitlock (KSDK) - There was a showdown Monday night in Crystal City, between the owner of an x-rated business and residents who want his company kept out of town. Last week, Mayor Tom Schilly rejected a business license application from Pure Pleasure Megacenter, an adult establishment trying to open up in town. Monday night the owner appealed before the Mayor. "Our store will open at this location," said Don Kleinhans, who is confident his efforts to open Pure Pleasure, an adult video and novelty store, will be successful. Kleinhans' attorney says the mayor's rejection of Pure Pleasure's application wasn't justified. The Mayor says information about the building's lighting and monitoring of viewing booths was not sufficient. Many in the overflow crowd at City Hall are less than thrilled with the idea of Pure Pleasure opening in their neighborhood. Clete Reed's church, Freedom Worship Center, is a half mile from Pure Pleasure's planned location, "The churches will band together and fight this. We will be meeting on Thursday to find out what we can do to help our community." Kleinhans calls those opposed to him the vocal minority, "Obviously, there is a silent majority that is happy we are here and ready to buy our product." The Mayor says he will not be swayed by public opinion, "I understand people are upset, but this decision cannot be based on emotions." The Mayor has five days to make a decision regarding Pure Pleasure's appeal for a business license. Kleinhans is prepared to take the matter to Circuit Court. Residents opposed to his business are looking into their legal options. KSDK http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/jeffersoncounty/ story/CC153C584F40B64386256FB1005EE3DE?OpenDocument Opponents of adult store gear up to continue fight By Robert Kelly Of the Post-Dispatch 02/24/2005 Appeal of Crystal City's denial of license sparks hubbub Crystal City residents oppose license for store As the appeals process continues over denial of a business license for an adult book and video store in Crystal City, opponents of the proposed store are organizing protest activities in case the store eventually opens. Bryan Menke says that scores of people are joining a group called Community Interest Voice of Jefferson County to oppose businessman Don Kleinhans' plan to open his sixth Pure Pleasure Megacenter adult book and video store. "I urge all Jefferson County residents to use the freedom our founding fathers intended, and which our soldiers are fighting for, to stand up and be heard. Protect our community from Don Kleinhans and Pure Pleasure," Menke, co-chairman of the opposition group, wrote in a letter to news media in the area. Kleinhans has leased a building at 2302 North Truman Boulevard in Crystal City with the intention of opening his second St. Louis-area adult book and video store there. The other one is at 2626 North Broadway in St. Louis. Kleinhans operates similar Pure Pleasure stores in Louisville, Ky., and at three locations in Florida. He contends that all of his stores operate legally and haven't disrupted the neighborhoods where they are located. But Menke said such stores devalue nearby properties and attract disreputable people and criminals by promoting pornography. "The United States Attorney General's Office did a study which revealed that 85 percent of all money received for pornographic magazines and videos in the United States goes directly into the pockets of organized crime," Menke said. "This same study stated that pornography is the third biggest money-maker for organized crime, just behind drugs and gambling." Menke said his group was ready to pass out fliers alerting Crystal City residents to the problems associated with adult bookstores. He said opponents probably would picket the bookstore if it opens. Crystal City Mayor Tom Schilly announced this week that he was rejecting Kleinhans' appeal of the mayor's denial of a business license to Pure Pleasure. Kleinhans applied for the license last month, but Schilly denied it on grounds that lighting planned for the store was inadequate and the store lacked an approved floor plan. Grant Shostak, an attorney for Kleinhans, said the license denial would be appealed to the full Crystal City Council. Shostak said he believed Kleinhans had complied with city ordinances and should be allowed to open the bookstore. If the full council refuses to issue a license, Kleinhans may appeal through the courts, Shostak said. Kleinhans has said he expects the Crystal City store to open at some point.

Does anyone know if this census was also destroyed? Thanks -Kay, FL Jefferson Democrat Thursday, May 29, 1890 ~Farmers and the Census~ The census year began June 1, 1889, and ends May 31, 1890. Each state has from one to eleven supervisors' districts..... Every farm will be visited before June 30, and the following questions will be asked.... (1) Your name as occupant of the farm. (2) Are you owner, renter for money, or for share of the crops of the farm? .... (4) Number of acres of land, improved and unimproved.....(39) Vineyards: Number of acres in vines bearing and in young vines not bearing; products and grapes and raisins, and value in 1889. ......and if the farms will now cheerfully co-operate with the enumerators and other officials to promptly furnish the correct figures more comprehensive returns regarding our greatest industry will be obtained than ever before.

Just in case anyone missed this: The Missouri State Archives Death Records Project is underway. All death records over 50 years old will be made available online starting with 1910 to 1954 once the project is up and running. Each year as the deaths are over 50 years old, they will be added. No release date is noted. For more details be sure to visit _http://sos.state.mo.us/archives/resources/birthdeath/deathFAQ.asp_ (http://sos.state.mo.us/archives/resources/birthdeath/deathFAQ.asp)

Just to add a bit more - the MO state archives need volunteers to help transcribe the records. They apparently come in batches of 50 typewritten ages. Each year will be added then all records in the Archives' possession for that year are transcribed. If you, like me, have more time than sense, the Archives folks would love to have your help.

Mike and other listers, This booklet is not going to be of much value to us, based on the note below. Has anyone ever seen document that uses farm names? In my case, Pierre Clerc, advertised his products in the newspaper, etc., but never included the farm name. The only place his farm name of Hillsboro Poultry Farms was printed was on the actual products. It's not provided in tax books or deeds. If a document can be produced that does identify any of the local farms, I'm wondering if there is a way to cross reference it by combining the atlas information and the county directory information to the surname, occupation-farmer, and property description. I'll go ahead and send an email to the MO State Archives. -Kay Subj: RE: 'Farm Names', by W. L. NELSON, Asst Secretary-MO State Board of Agriculture 1917  Date: 3/15/2005 11:59:04 AM Eastern Standard Time From: [email protected] To: [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 6:25 PM To: Boeckman, LaurelSubject: 'Farm Names', by W. L. NELSON, Asst Sec-MO State Bd of Ag 1917 RE: FARM NAMES, Missouri State Board of Agriculture Monthly Bulletin, By W. L. NELSON, v. 14, #10, October 1916, 42 pages, call #: M 630 M691b, volume 14, number 10 Below you will find my replies in blue to your questions and comments. Q 1. I am somewhat confused about the fact that the farm names listed in the above bulletin do not indicate where they are located.  Is this just an alphabetical list of farm names and/or owner names, without any type of identification?  Is the information of value to a researcher? A 1.      The book includes a two-column wide list of names, a few pages long.  The names were given as examples of names other farmers were using.  No owners or locations were attached to the names.  The book is a plea and a “how to do” for Missouri farmers to name their farms as a way to advertise their products and businesses.  It is not a directory of farms.              According to the data I found, farmers were asked to register their farm names and locations with the Missouri State Board of Agriculture by submitting written information about their farms.  Perhaps, the Missouri State Archives in Jefferson City has the old Board of Agriculture registration files.  Email the Archives at [email protected] or call 573-751-3280. We do not have farm listings in either Jefferson County Atlas.  The listings are alphabetical, by owner surname.  In 1898, we do have, however, a listing of farmers in the county, when they moved to the county, and the location of the property, but the farm name, if any, is not listed.  It could be that farm names were not common during the 1890's.  ***The fact that Nelson was pleading for farmers to name their farms in his 1916 publication, tends to indicate that naming farms was not a common thing at that time. Perhaps, in later years, specialized farm names might begin to appear.**Nelson ’s project may have caused a flurry of naming, but special farm names probably became less important as the road systems developed in the 1920s.  As roads became graveled and paved, roadway numbering and naming systems developed which allowed universal and better rural postal delivery.  Once individual houses and farms were identified easily by a combination of road and dwelling numbers, special names were not needed to help locate a property.  Also, the size of family farms dwindled over time, and farms frequently changed hands and crops, making farm names seem less important, and even pretentious in some cases.  The Crash of 1929 and the Depression of the 1930s may have finished off Mr. Nelson’s efforts. Best Wishes on your project, Laurel Boeckman

I have relatives that have no head stone, so , needless to say not in Cemetery records, Does any one know when it was required to have a death certified? Mary Ellen Reseaching, Wilson, Vogt, McDonald, Kopf

I'm not sure if there are the same dept or not, but that is all I could find with Agriculture in the name. Regardless, I'll bet it was in Jeff City way back then. Still no response from them yet.

This story belongs to me, two family stories passed down were that George was drunk and fell off a bar stool, and the other he was drunk and fell from a tree. His death certificate says cause of death "tramatism from fall, accidental on walk" George was married to Sophia ZIEGLEMEYER, it was not passed down that the two were divorced, much less married and divorced 2x. I suspect the reason for the second marriage may have been my grandfather, in the 1910 census, Sophia lists that she is divorced and my grandfather was born 1912.......I will be looking for the dates of the marriages and divorces *wink* Interesting that the paper reports that he was just tired and fell asleep, then fell, I wonder if that was the "nice" way to say passed out :o) Poor guy!!

That provisions be made by suitable legislation to insure the proper and continuous maintenance of all state roads. The foregoing resolution was adopted by the farmers of Missouri, who attended the good roads meetings of the annual Farmer’s Week recently held at Columbia. The Federal Law in regard to roads was explained by Dean E. J. McCAUSTLAND of the School of Engineering of the University of Missouri. The share which Missouri will receive from the new ???, which appropriates $75,000,000 to be apportioned to the various states within the five consecutive years for road work is $2,500,000. “the law also provides” Dean McCAUSTLAND says, “that the state must have an efficient state highway commission before it can get the benefit of this fund. Missouri is not in condition to take advantage of this opportunity just now, but a bill will be introduced in this assembly to raise the standard of the department. It provides for a commission of four men two from each of the two leading political parties, which will appoint a highway engineer and two deputies. A road map is now being prepared providing for the improvement of between 3,000 and 4,000 miles of road within the five years in which the state is to receive federal aid.” [AD] Grand Ball at Marschel’s Hall Goldman, Mo.

The Jefferson Trust Company, Hillsboro, Mo. [page 4, column 2] ~ Quantity of Feed Important For Wintering Dairy Cows ~ Quantity of feed ranks next to the kind of feed in dairy rations. Economical feeding demands that cose be fed as individuals, and not as a herd. Too frequently each cow in a herd is fed the same amount of grain, regardless of how much milk she is producing. By this practice some cows will be underfed, while others will be overfed. It should be understood that an animal always uses a certain amount of food it receives to maintain the body. Thes is the first use to which the food is put, and is called the rations of maintenance. This amount is required by the animal whither[sic] or not she is producing milk. All feed above this amount is used for milk production, or is stored on the body of the animal as fat. In the case of the young animal part of this excess is used for growth. Of the two mistakes made in feeding perhaps underfeeding is most common, according to C. H. ECKLES of the Missouri College of Agriculture. It is a serious mistake to feed a cow only enough to keep up her body. She must receive feed to keep her milk production up to capacity. If a cow loses weight while in milk, she is not receiving sufficient food. A good cow, if not fed enough, will produce milk for a time at the expense of her body that is, she will take the surplus flesh from her body, and convert it into milk and and thereby will lose live weight. On the other hand, when a cow is over fd[sic] she will begin to fatten in a short time. This condition may be corrected by giving her only the amount she needs for maintenance and for milk production. Such feeding will maintain practically a uniform weight. Roughness is the first important consideration in feeding cows. A cow is not contented unless her stomach is full. She would always have all theroughness that she will clean up and then the amount of grain she receives should be regulated by the amount of milk produced. A dry cow in good condition should be fed roughness only, and does not need any grain. In feeding grain to milk producing cows, the following rule may be used, and is found to work fairly well: Feed one pound of grain for each 3 pounds or pints of milk given. A Jersey cow producing very rich milk may need a little more grain than the amount given.
