HJD1890_16.jpg HJD1890_17.jpg HJD1890_18.jpg transcribed by Linda in MO Jefferson Democrat, Jefferson County, Missouri Thursday, May 22, 1890 (part 2) The sporting men of De Soto were quite indignant, last Sunday, because the Sheriff interfered with the base ball game, which was advised to take place at the Fair Grounds. They complain because they were not notified beforehand that the game would not be permitted. It was known that the De Soto players were stopped from Sunday games last season, and why they expected St. Louis teams to be granted more privileges than home men we do not know. We are not discussing the propriety of the law which forbids Sunday games - on that point there is room for great difference of opinion; but when it comes to sworn officials attempting to do their duty and enforce laws, whether popular or not, and whether they are enforced or not in other counties, we will give the officials our support every time. If the law is wrong it should be repealed, but while it stands it should be enforced. The Republican ideas, in????? from expressions we have heard, is that a tariff is not a tax, but some kind of blessing that benefits certain classes without injuring any other. They even claim that it does not add to the cost of the protected articles; but this is not consistent with the plea always made in Congress, that unless a tariff protection is given they can not compete with foreign products. That if it does not add to the prices which are demanded for the goods, there is no protection, is a truth so plain that anybody with ordinary common sense can see the point. Farmers are not protected by a tariff on wheat and corn, because it does not and can not add to the price of wheat and corn, for this country is and exporter and not an importer of those articles, and the price is fixed in competition with the cheapest labor in Europe and Asia. A tariff on tin plate does add to the price of tin, and it is for that purpose alone that it is urged; and this is true of the other protected articles of manufacture. The following, from the Journal of Agriculture, is sufficient to answer the long article in the Mirror regarding the circular signed by Judge MADISON and James H. WAGGENER, as members for the F. & L. Union, in favor of Judge THOMAS. The above mentioned paper is the organ of the Farmers’ and Laborers’ Union. Read what it says: “The attention of the Journal of Agriculture has been called to a circular signed by the President of the County Union of Jefferson Co., Mo, and also by the President of one of the local Unions of that county, urging the nomination of a personal friend of theirs for Supreme Judge. We see no objection to the circular whatever; because a man belongs to the Farmer’s and Laborers’ Union, does not debar him from citizenship. Neither does it encroach upon his pol?ted prerogatives. The circular merely asks the farmers who affiliate with the party to which these gentlemen belong to attend their primaries and see that good men be nominated. We were unintentionally absent from the county convention last Saturday. In ?????ting to entertain a St. Louis gentleman, who was here with a view of investing in Jefferson county property, we had taken a trip to Big River, and a series of unforeseen circumstances delayed our return. We learn though that every thing passed off harmoniously, except as to some interruptions by a drunken individual, who immediately subsided on the appointment for a sergeant-at-arms for his benefit. Mr. John T. BURGESS made a speech which was a surprise to many of his bearers, who did not know that he was so well informed on the issues of the day, and so capable of presenting his views. The only other speech was a short one by Dr. Charles WILLIAMS, which was also full of good points. While there was no mention of Judge THOMAS, it is a fact that everything was done just as a desired, and the proceeding were all in his interests. The delegates will go to St. Joseph for the purpose of securing of securing his nomination if possible. We may have to enlarge our paper soon. We have just had an offer from an advertising agent of ??, for running a five inch ad one year. Washington Letter. No better evidence could be shown as to the weakness of the Republican in the tariff discussion than is afforded by the ???? movement to check a ? debate and force a vote on Wednesday next. The truth is the Democrats have had their op????? crowded to the wall and they are glad to escape the scathing review ????? of ar??rary partlamentary power in forcing a final vote on a m???? of great economical importance without due and clear consideration. Although the Democrats had a tight grasp on their political throat, it needed the utterances of the erratic Ben BUTTERWORTH to complete their demoralization. They had endeavored to choke off the Ohio ??? and refused to assign ??? a [..???..], [new column] although he is considered one of the healthiest? men on the Republican side but the gentleman from Ohio had something to say, and was determined to say it. It was, without doubt, a curious legistlative episode to see a leading Republicans orator dependent for sympathy and applause upon his political enemies, while his own political friends are around with misery depicted on their faces. The Democrats will print this Republican tariff speech, or rather honest tariff admissions made by a Republican, for circulation in the next campaign. As to the Mc Kinly bill: it will pass the House, for the leaders say it must go through, and the Republicans are too well drilled not to obey the commands of their leaders. That there is individual dissatisfaction with the measure, almost in its every line, need not be said; that personal grievances and discontent will all be sank in the effort to make a record for the grand old party. The d????gues in the United States Senate of the Blair? stripe, have concluded that the post-canteen system in the army must go. because the enlisted men are there said light wines and beer. Al the legistlative contest?, as a ??? the Democratic Senators upheld the canteen, not that they had any particular favor for liquors, but because a knowledgeing the fact that soldiers as well as other men will drink less under restraint than they would if given full liberty. At the canteen,too, they got no whiskey - only beer and light wines. As evidene of the good sense of Democratic Senators in the ?????, the following letter from the commandant of a leading military post has been received. “The canteen has been a success in every particular. This ??niated ??? in s??un??? near a small town, where only the poorest kind of whiskey can be had. The canteen has remained the temptation for the town by providing the men comforts as well as light beverages. It has done much for the discipline of the post and the contentment of the enlisted men. The leaders of the Republicans in Congress now recognize that they are confronted by a condition and not a theory. The trouble is that was all that ??? surplus in the treasury, which the Democratic administration left there have not enough money to go round. One thing must be ????, they say, add that is to increase the pension expenditures by many millions. If the Morr?? bill, passed by the House, is agreed on, the immediate annual expenditure, according to the war department authorities, will be at least $??,???, ??? annually, or , with what is now allowed, in the neighborhood of $175, 900,000 a year. If the bill passed by the Senate, known as the dependent bill, is taken as a compromise, the increased outlay will be $10,000,000 annually. We?, as ???, these millions must be provided, for the Republicans dare not increase the anger of the soldier boys, and as Legislators have already been more than r???? in their drafts on the treasury, it is recognized that a ha? must be ralied. In fact, some of the huge expenditures contemplated must be lopped off, and in this is anxiety, for the river and harbor men are fearful that their pet measure will die aborning. The public building men also realize that that their schemes may turn out to be failures, while the only people happy are the pensioners in prospective and the subsidy grabbers, who want to revive commeres by dipping their hands deep into the treasury.

Perhaps someone on on the list could please help me. My grt. grandfather, R.W. Buder, lived in Wickes, Jeff. Co. - located above Kimmswick, and along the Union-Pacific RR - when he died, 21 Dec 1909. I'm trying to find a newspaper that would have been in circulation, at that time (close to Wickes), that might have printed an obit for him. Also, if he would have had a DC, where would I find it? I've tried Jefferson City, but they said they didn't have one. (A few more days, and they probably would have.) This family was very good about reporting deaths in the family, so I'm pretty sure that they would have reported the death to the authorities, somewhere. Thanks for any help that anyone can give me.

Dave, One of the articles I posted indicated that Mitchell McCormick's grandfather, Peter, settled in the Plattin Valley in 1803. Possibly he owned most of the valley at that time and that is why Atlas lists McCormick where the town of Plattin is located. Did Peter receive a land grant in the Plattin area, by chance?

Bettye, To answer your question No. The Cemetery I posted as the Peter McCormack Family Graveyard was deeded by D. C. McCormack, who I assume was a son of Peter, to John Tullock in 1900 and "...reserving out of the above described land 40 feet square as a graveyard where Peter McCormack and family is burried.(sic)" D. C. is buried in this cemetery. According to the online database, http://www.rootsweb.com/~mojeffer/dpl_cem_mc.html#alpha_mc Mitchell is listed in the James McCormack Family Cemetery. This would be the one behind the Red Brick Plantation House located on the corner of Charter Church and Harness Roads. This is about a half mile away from the Peter McCormack cemetery. There are other McCormack cemeteries also in this general area. The obitutaries are notorious for listing the AREA instead of the exact Cemetery. Many times reporters didn't know the name of a particular cemetery only that it was in Plattin. As far as I can tell the name Peter McCormack Graveyard was never known and researchers listed it as Wagner Cemetery as it was on the Wagner property and need some kind of a name for reference. While doing cemetery research I came across a deed for the Peter McCormack Graveyard and after visiting the site and researching the location I was able to put the deeded name to the physical location. Researchers should be aware of this. Many times recorders not knowing the name of a cemetery list it as what it is locally called or who owns the land as in this case. So if you are looking for Peter McCormack's cemetery one would never think it is "Wagner" Cemetery. I strive to be as careful as possible when putting a name with a cemetery, however I also am human. The McCorMICK cemetery that appears in the database was deeded by the heirs of Oliver J. McCorMICK and is on the other side of the county near High Ridge on Old Sugar Creek Road. Adding to the confusion the 1898 Atlas list McCorMICK where the town of Plattin is now located. Not sure if this was a typepo or not. Hope this helps clarify what is going on here.

Dave, Since your e-mail address appeared at the bottom of the post which LaDonna posted to the Mailing List, I am sending a copy of this e-mail to you in addition to posting it to the List. My question is this: Are the McCormick Family Cemetery and the Plattin Cemetery the same cemetery? Here is link to a couple of old newspaper obituaries that I posted to the Jefferson County Message Board awhile back pertaining to Mitchell "Uncle Mitch" McCormick [McCormack], father of Perry McCormick/McCormack who died in 1913. http://tinyurl.com/3smz4 As you can see, these obituaries indicate he was buried in the Plattin Cemetery. Since he was listed on the Jefferson County MoGenWeb Cemetery page under the McCormick Family Cemetery, I assumed they were the same cemetery. Is my assumption correct? Did you not see a stone for Mithcell when you were there? It appears you found a footstone for Peter. I just assumed that Mitchell would be buried there too. Perhaps he is but his stone is long gone, or he never had one to begin with. Thanks!

Per deed I found it is the Peter McCormack Family Graveyard. This is in T39 R6 S6 Survey 411. Also Sarah C., correct, appears as Sarah O, incorrect, in the database. This also needs correcting. Also in the database is listed Peter McCormack b. 8-26-1804 d. and 12-23-1875 and Sophiann d. 1-4-1884, this monument was NOT located but name of cemetery needs to also be changed to Peter McCormack Family Graveyard as they are also listed in Wagner Cemetery.

Jefferson Democrat Thursday, December 18, 1890 Volunteer Transcription  page 1 column 4 By N.J. A Small Battle Fought ------------------------ A Collision Between Whites and Indians --------------------------- A Big Battle Looked For ------------ Four Indians Killed and a Number of Others Wounded - Alarming Reports from the region the Glo??? Dam???? Mouth of French Creek, S. Dak., December 10- Latest authentic reports from Capt. WELLS are that a large party of Indians attacked eighteen men four miles below the creek this afternoon. Several were wounded and it is thought four Indians are killed. Expect and engagement in the morning with hostiles near Battle Creek. Two troups of the 6th Cavalry, comprising five officers and 125 men and horses, all under the command of Major PERCY, 6th Cavalry, went into camp on Spiral Creek during the day. Several parties of friendly were seen, but no hostiles. A rancher named WILSON was seen in the early part of the day and with him were two cowboys. All seemed greatly excited and said that they had seen our command advancing from one of the hills and had hidden themselves, having taken our party for hostile Indians. He had reported that they had seen a party of about forty hostiles some eighteen miles to the south coming slowly northward. These hostiles had advance guards thrown out and looked as though they expected an attack from cowboys are troops. A Sensational Report. A short time before out party came into camp a squaw man named RULER brought information to the commanding officer that there had been a bloody encounter four miles north of Pine Ridge agency between the United States troops and some 400 or 500 Indians under KICKING BEAR and that a number had been killed on both sides, the Indians having been put to rout and a large number of them captured, including KICKING BEAR. Not much credence was placed in this report, although , owing to our present locations, no further reports could be obtained. Charlie RIVERS, a Government scout, came in late in the evening with a dispatch from Col. SANFORD and reported that he was in the vicinity of the hostile camp, and that 150 lodges (about 700 Indians) have left there and are camped at the mouth of Hidden Butte Creek, on their way to of Pine Ridge agency to surrender themselves. The rest , about fifty lodges, or 500 Indians, are trying to work their way north toward Cheyenne River Agency, and have a large quantity of stolen stock with them. A courier, just in from Gen. CARR’s camp at Rapis City, brings the information that in all probability he would start from there tomorrow with the rest of his command and follow up the trail taken by Maj. TUPPER, and would then branch off north. Cornering The Indians -------------------------The Troops Now Encolsing About Them in a Great Circle. Chicago, December 10,- Indications at Gen. MILES’ headquarters to night pointed to a drastic close of the Messiah craze among the Indians of the Northwest. An immediate tightening of the great military now completely surrounding the ghost dancers seems to be the programmer . The climax apparently will be a total disarming of the red skins enclosed like so many rats in a huge trap. Throughout the entire evening an interesting scene was enacted on the fourth Door of the PULLMAN building, where that army offices of the Division of the Missouri are located. Gen. MILES was examining a man of the Northwestern Indian country, which gave in most minute form every road, trail, railroad and path which existed in that country besides every United States fort and Indian agency. General MILES explained the distribution of the troops. " Gen. BROOKS", said He "is on the south, Col. SUMNER is on the north, Gen. CAREY is on the west, and Col. MERRIAM is on the east, with their respective commands. Asked as to when he should leave for the Northwest , the General replied that he was unable to say, with any positiveness , but he was of the opinion he should start in a day or two, as occasions might require. --------------------------------------- Hampton Knocked Out Columbus , S.C., December 11.- The senatorial contest terminated today by the election of J. L. TROY, the farmers’ candidate, over Gen. Wade HAMPTON, who has an living represented South Carolina in the United States Senate. But five ballots were taken to-day, the fifth resulting , IRBY 105; HAMPTON : 42; DONALDSON. (Alliance man,) 10; HAMPTONs contingent won, down with their chief , he pulling his full strength on the last ballot. Announcements of the result was received with mingled cheers and hisses. Many at once decorated their coat sleeves with bands of crape as an evidence of their sorrow and grief over the defeat of Gen. HAMPTON> Succi’s Past New York, December 9- Succi is still losing weight. Three ounces have depa rted from him during the last twenty-four hours, and within the thirty-four days of his fast he has lost 36 pounds, 10 ounces. That was the record of the scales last night. SUCCI’s improvement has been marked in the last four days. There are many things which show that the Italian is sure of beating his own record in other ways besides the mere number of days he has fasted. His clear, healthy skin is one evidence of success, and his well - colored moist tounge and brilliant eye are other indications. Most convincing, perhaps, of all is his grip on the dynamometer. ---------------------- White Lead Company New York, December 9- The Sheriff has closed up the factory of the Standard White Lead Manufacturing Company, at the corner of West and Jane streets, on executions for $10,000 in favor of the St. Nicholas Bank. The company was formed in March 1889, with an authorized capital stock of $500,000, to manufacture white lead by a new process. The company was not in the "trust". The officers were; Henry T. McCOUN, Jr., President; Edwin C. MOFFAIT, Treasurer, and J. D. COMTON, Secretary. ---------------------------- Cattle As Forbidden Ground Arkansas City, Kas., December 11- It has been discovered that a large number of cattle driven off Cherokee Outlet are now on the Osage and Kaw reservations. This is directly opposed to Secretary NOBLE’S order, but the Indians have divided the cattle among individuals, and intend to fulfill their contract with the cattlemen. One troop of cavalry was sent to see that the cattle were driven off the reservations, but the Indians paid no attention to the soldiers. Three more troops leave Camp Merritt to-day.

I, therefore, question the power of the FActs to absolve them from the verdict, and I ask in justice to the tax-payers, by what right the Aldermen resolve to vindicate themselves from the conviction for their previous actions, congratulating themselves on the elevation of the city to the Third-class as a means of escape from the wrath of an injured people. they, as servants, ought to have applied themselves as the law and their oaths required, to the protection of the interests of the people from any misappropriation of the public moneys. It is also a question in the minds of tax-payers, whether they are eligible to remain in office while indictments are still hanging over their heads, the Circuit Judge still having under consideration the request for an appeal from the verdict of the jury.

HJD1890B_13.jpg HJD1890B_14.jpg HJD1890B_15.jpg transcribed by Linda in MO Jefferson Democrat, Jefferson County, Missouri Thursday, May 15, 1890 - part 6 A very pretty wedding took place in St. Louis, at the Lafayette Park Baptist church, on the evening of the 30th ult., the contracting parties being Dr. F. B. KENNER, of Farmington, and Miss Allie, oldest daughter of the late Jacob J. and Laura C. LETCHER?. The bride, a prettie brunette, never was lovelier than in her bridal robe of cream white faille fran??ise, with court train and bodice cut in V, filled in with soft folds of white silk tuile. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses and water lilies. Her attendance were Miss Sallie LETCHER and Miss Anna CRAFT, attired exactly alike in cream white Henrie? cloth, made dancing length, with corsage “en V” and sleeves met by long gants de? Suede?. Each carried a bunch of ???? roses. The bridal cortege entered the church in the following order: Mrs. Laura C. LETCHER leaning on the arm of her brother, Herbert RAILE; Mrs. Mary MEGGITT, attended by her son, Alexander; MRS. C. C. RAILE AND Alex HALLE, Mrs. C. A. CRAFT and Mrs. Frank RUSSELL, G. W. COLLINS and lady, C. L. HOGG and lady, Ed. MURDOCH and Miss Fannie LETCHER, Eugene HALLE and Miss Fannie CRAFT; next came the ushers, Messrs. Ward, John???? and NAGEL; Miss Sallie LETCHER, leaning on the arm of Mr. CAVE?. Miss Anna CRAFT and L. PEERS, followed by bride and groom The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. WILLIAMS, after which the bridal party were driven to the residence of the bride’s grandmother, on Pine street, where a reception followed, lasting from 8 until 11. the presents were beautiful and numerous. The happy couple left? on the steamer “Gem? One?” for a short trip south, before going to their home at Farmington. $2500 Worth of Property Cheap For sale at Public Auction in the Town of Hillsboro, Jefferson Co., Mo., May 17th, 1890, property in the Town of Victoria, as follows: One grocery store with two living rooms overhead and cellar; also in the same day will be offered one new dwelling house of ? rooms and cellar, within 14 feet of store, to highest bidder, for cash or ???? security. Plenty of good water and shade on lot, which is 70x??? feet. No encumbrance title perfect. A grocery store badly needed there. Wm. ?????? [next column] Crystal and Festus by Damphool A heavy storm passed over the twin cities last Monday night. It shook up one camp considerable, and the rain fell in torrents. No damage was done. ???? good authority I may state that the depot of the narrow gauge railroad will be built on MOORE’s addition to Festus. MOORE says he will build a good street to the station. Take it all in all the mile is convenient to Festus as the one on the BAILY crossing; but we Main street fellows are mad anyhow. I went to see Mayor ADAMS yesterday to inform myself of the healing progress of his injuries, inflicted on him by Pete BARTON last week. ADAMS is not materially disfigured, but his nose is considerably flattened by the fracture of the nasal bone. His cheek bone gives him trouble, though, and a good sized scar will remain on his face. The deplorable incident is still the conversation topic of the town. I have heard some very favorable comments on the new wood-preserving oil, now in store and for sale at B.”? BARKER’s carpenter shop. BARKER, being a first class mechanic, detected the superior merits of the fluid and, therefore, applied for the agency. Real estate owner, who pre?er to save time and money by saturating all wood work exposed to weather with this oil, would do well to give this new preserving material an impartial trial. The twin cities seem to be destination of vagrant and destitute people of late, especially since the narrow gauge is built. Last Saturday an unfortunate demented cripple - a woman - was seen on the streets of Festus, begging from door to door. Next day she entered the house of Mr. HALE just west of the city, and there was taken with a severe epileptic fit. Mr. HALE called the attention of squire JENNINGS to the case but nothing could be done for her. The spell being over she got up and wandered away, God knows where to. She claimed to have come from Bonne Terre. Last Saturday George FLINT and John SCHNEIDER, of De Soto, came up to hold prayer meeting, and our salvation army gathered around them and the meeting began at once to do homage to Father GAMBRINNS?. The service was held in Billy GORMAN’s chapel in the rear, and Elders F. KIRIN, D. ????K, Th. UNDERBERRY, R. KEMPSTER, Chas. EDWARDS and others, conducted the services, which consisted in ringing glass bells and singing hymn, such as Yankee Doodle. Service closed in the Star Parlor, at ? a.m. Sunday afternoon missionary work commenced in the wilderness, and one heathen, John MILLER was converted. He clings to the faith with ardent spirit and composed the new hymn “?????? ???, ?? ????? war?” etc. The next meeting will be held in WAMPLER’s? church, De Soto, where more convertions will be made. We have another departure to town. The former [...?...] at KINNERMAN’s? sharp? corner is practicing veterinary doctorism. As an experiment he bought a horse from the present owner of the corner and that was fatal - not to Frank but to the horse. Frank counted the teeth and it had ????? so he concluded it was nine years old. But the blaste? “hippa?” caught the belly ??????? and Frank had cured many such case by pouring a quart or two of moonshine whiskey down the patient’s throat and thinking what is good for man is good for beast, he poured a quart of NNY? down the nag’s throat. The nag turned its eyes, laid down and died. And now we know why some fellows say “this whiskey is strong enough to kill a horse.” Frank an not understand yet what the other fellow ment by telling him that he know the horse for years, but never saw it take a quart of ????. Our immortal? artists - some? call them fathers? - are bad musicians, that is true, but they could beat St. Peter on the sea? of Gaillea fishing. With broom sticks, strings, crooked hair pins and glass whistles well corked, they started on a fishing tour the other day, down Plattin creek. They were happy and tooted the whistles many times on the way, and that made them happier. WILHELM took a conference with the fish and plunged in, but only said ????, and when he came up he was wet and they tooted the whistle again. Then they found an oyster bed and fed? on a dozen raw, and whistled. MEYER found timber? to make ca?e?, and they whistled. Now they were happiest and came home, and whistled again. After entering the city gates they tried to take the town, but the people only allowed them the streets, and they took them fully and whistled. B???? will start a pottery with the clay he carried home on his coat, and the ????? two signed partnership papers and broke the whistling machine.

CALLAHAN, who carries the mail between here and Ware P.O., employs a blind man as mail carrier, who, when Dry Creek is a little swollen, is afraid to try to cross. The person who is guilty of such malichouse? meanness is getting mightily low dawp. We all know Mr. CALLAHAN’s condition and know that his efforts, to make a living for himself are very commendable, and his services as mail carrier are entirely satisfactory to the patrons of the line. During two years there has only been one failure to cross Dry Creek and deliver mails promptly, and that was on the 25th? of April inst. On that day Mr. CALLAHAN’s deputy, Louis PIERCE, went with the mail. He was born and raised within tow miles of that ford of the creek and seeing it was past fording, did not attempt to cross. That is the only failure in two years, and no man in the county could have mad a better record.
