For what it's worth, I think this article ranks in the top ten on the 'sicko' list. It's the third time I've heard of an ax being taken to a mule in those days. (Why would Mr. GONGLOFF attempt to kill John MILLER's mule?) -Kay Jefferson Democrat January 28,1892 Part 4 Volunteer transcription by Julia Gass Last week Peter GRIMM, our babe, the dreamer, had a horse named Dave, who was some the worse for age ...... Peter took the hatchet--not Washington's---- and hit him a crash on the head to make him get up, but he only stretched himself out for good and was a goner. Peter probably thought the lick would act on Dave like similar medicine acted on an old mule of John MILLER's. Said mule was led out into the woods, and Mr. GONGLOFF struck him down with an ax and then gave him a couple of more licks to make sure of the job, and left him lying. Next morning, to the surprise of all, the mule was standing at the gate neighing for his breakfast, somewhat disfigured about the head though.         Maxville, Jan.21, 1892

NUELLE, JOSEPH E. - died 06, May 1909 at his home on Belews Creek. He was born in Prussia on 20, Dec. 1830 and came to Philadelphia with his parents at the age of 2. In 1892 he came to Jefferson Co. for his health and remained here. He is survived by his wife , four daughters, four soms. The deceased was 78 years old. (pub. 13, Mat 1909) L. C.

EDINGER adm..Final ------------ "Notice of Final Settlement All creditors and others interested in the estate of Philip EDINGER, Deceased, are hereby notified that I, the undersigned, intend to make the final settlement of said estate at the next term of the Probate court of Jefferson County, Mo., to be held at Hillsboro on the fourth Monday in May, 1911. Chas. H. EDINGER, Administrator de bonds gor?" ----------- By the way, there was a Judge EDINGER in Kimmswick at this time, though I'm not certain if the first name was Chas. -Kay ********************************************************* Kay, Did you mean to type "bono" or "bond"?  Whenever an Administrator is appointed to serve by the probate court, the order includes whether they are to serve with or without bond.  If it's with bond, these bonds are usually corporate surety bonds.  I just wonder if the "cor" is short for corporate and this phrase means Admistrator With Corporate Bond?  A latin phrase that's often used is: pro bono, which usually refers to an attorney who is donating his services.  Pro bono is short for pro bono publico which means "for the public good," I don't know if that would apply here because it doesn't say "pro", it says "de". Unless maybe the Cor stands for Coroner and the Coroner was appointed to serve as public administrator on some estates. Therefore, I would guess that "cor" is an abbreviation for either the word corporate or the word coroner. B.

I'm not finding any Plack relatives in Missouri, so can someone direct me as to how to find help in Illinois? thanks for any help.

Kay, Did you mean to type "bono" or "bond"? Whenever an Administrator is appointed to serve by the probate court, the order includes whether they are to serve with or without bond. If it's with bond, these bonds are usually corporate surety bonds. I just wonder if the "cor" is short for corporate and this phrase means Admistrator With Corporate Bond? A latin phrase that's often used is: pro bono, which usually refers to an attorney who is donating his services. Pro bono is short for pro bono publico which means "for the public good," I don't know if that would apply here because it doesn't say "pro", it says "de". Unless maybe the Cor stands for Coroner and the Coroner was appointed to serve as public administrator on some estates. Therefore, I would guess that "cor" is an abbreviation for either the word corporate or the word coroner. B.

The above article which I believe was published in a St. Louis Newspaper, came to me as an undated newspaper clipping. I believe, based on dates of other articles in collection, that it probably dates to around 1909 or 1910. There's an article on the back side referring to Governer Hadley. Herbert Hadley was governor of Missouri from 1909-1913. Does anyone know what became of this child, or her parents? TWO-HEADED BABY PUZZLES DOCTORS. Child at Josephine Hospital Has One Normal Body and One Neck. FOUR EYES AND FOUR EARS Mother of Prodigy, Lola Williams, 18 years Old, of DeSoto, Mo. With two perfectly formed heads rising from a single neck and normal body, a 3-days-old child is engaging the scientific attention of physicians at Josephine Hospital, Grand and Henrietta Avenues. It is declared that nowhere in medical annals has a similar prodigy been reported. The marvelous child is the daughter of Lola Williams, 18 years old, of DeSoto, Mo. She was sent to St. Louis by a Jefferson County physicians Saturday and placed in charge of Dr. F. J. Lutz, head of the Josephine Hospital. Details of the prodigy were hard to obtain, owing to the reluctance of physicians from ethical reasons to discuss the case. Both heads of the child are normally formed it was learned. There are two complete sets of eyes and ears, two distinct noses and mouths. Last night it was reported that the child was living and taking nourishment. The mother was also doing well. While twins have been born, like the famous Siamese pair, bound together by skin and ligaments, never before, it is claimed, have two bodies been merged into one as completely as in the case of the Williams child. Physicians yesterday studied the child, under an X-ray, in an effort to solve the mystery of the duo-headed infant. A report is being prepared that will be published shortly in a medical journal.

Ladies bringing boxes well-filled are admitted free. The admittance will be 25 cents. The snow is pretty near gone. The boys had a good time sleighing while it lasted. M.C. JENNINGS is very low, and hardly expected to recover. The poorest person in town can now get all the tee water they want, free. Ice is plentiful, and many are busy filling up their ice houses. Last week Theo. BHRICHA sold his corner lot on Main and Mill streets, for $750, to some Italian, and we here that another fine brick building will be built in the spring. Festus, Jan'y 26th, 1892 County Court January 20th, 1892 The assessor's books for 189? were received, and the Assessor's account allowed---county parts, $338.08; State part, $358.88 J.B.

From Plattin We are having lovely weather, which is appreciated very much by every one after enduring such severe winter for several weeks. Perry SKAGGS boarded the train at Plattin Station, the 20th last, in route for Louisville, KY. His aunt, Mrs. Geo. TAPPING, nee SKAGGS, telegraphed a ticket. He received very kind treatment from the R.R. officials all along the route. Mrs. Thomas HILL is sick at her father's, J.T. MCCLAIN. Mrs. Joseph DARIN is still confined to her bed, and it is to be feared that she will have to undergo a surgical operation before she can recover good health. Miss PARTIN, our teacher, visited her parents Saturday. Mrs. F.U. HAMEL and Joda SKAGGS will depart for De Soto Tuesday Eve. Miss Rhoda MAMINOCH is spending a month or so with her sister, Mrs. Wm. HAYES. The people here have waited very long and patiently for the M.R. &B.T. ?, Co. to build a station house at Plattin Station. it is real provoking to have to stand in the snow from one to five hours waiting for friends to come in the train, especially after night. I believe it is the only station along the road but what has a platform or house to accommodate passengers. Besides, it costs more to go without a ticket. The only way to get them is to go to some other place along the line to purchase them. They receive a liberal patronage of passengers here. There is people getting on and off the train every time it passes through here. Geo. ZICKONDRATH, an aged German, died within a few days of his brother, John, who died on the 6th.inst. MAXVILLE Died, Jan. 7th, 1892, new born baby of Mr. and Mrs. John HALLENBERGER. Peter PORTO, of near Butler Lake, died Dec. 2nd, last , of heart disease and grip, aged 69 years, 11 months, and 10 days. Jan 5th, 1892, Earl, son of William and Magdalena WHITE, of near Kimmswick, died, aged 9 months and 26 days. Rev. M., went out rabbit hunting last week and after firing several shots at the cotton tails, had to give up and come home with what Paddy shot at. Some one must have tricked his shells. Last week Peter GRIMM, our babe, the dreamer, had a horse named Dave, who was some the worse for age and ???, having out his eye tooth several years ago. Dave laid down in the stable and refused to get up; so Peter took the hatchet--not Washington's---- and hit him a crash on the head to make him get up, but he only stretched himself out for good and was a goner. Peter probably thought the lick would act on Dave like similar medicine acted on an old mule of John MILLER's. Said mule was led out into the woods, and Mr. GONGLOFF struck him down with an ax and then gave him a couple of more licks to make sure of the job, and left him lying. Next morning, to the surprise of all, the mule was standing at the gate neighing for his breakfast, somewhat disfigured about the head though. Maxville, Jan.21, 1892 We are having considerable snow lately. People thought there would be no water, but it proved to be a mistake. E. MCLANE has moved to Jefferson county, on the farm sold last September to Henry NOLL, by F.J. HAMPEL. NOLL shortly afterward sold to MCLANE> Mr. HAMPEL has moved temporarily to St. Louis, but seems to still hold his residence here, as he is still acting as school director, and says he will serve his time out, which is one more year. Our school has not decreased any by Mr. HAMPEL's moving away, as Mr. MCLANE has children to supply the place. F.J. HAMPEL is in the nursery business, and selling lots of trees in St. Louis County. Maxville, Jan. 18, '92 Calvey Creek Ripples Mrs. R. Whaley, who has been very sick with la grippe, is slowly recovering. The heaviest snow of the season fell Sunday night, Monday and Monday night. Mr. and Mrs. James I. MCDANIEL have been quite ill for two weeks, but are now improving. P.F. MCCOOLE, of St. Louis, was in this neighborhood visiting old friends this week. Pat says he will move from St. Louis in the spring and probably locate in this county. Margaret, beloved wife of W.B. CROWDER, died at her home near this place last Monday morning, of pneumonia, aged about 40 years. Mrs. CROWDER was a member of the Baptist church, of this place, and a highly respected lady. The funeral took place Tuesday, from her home to Calvey Creek Cemetery. Mr. CROWDER has the sympathy of many friends. Mrs. Jane GLASSIMOR died at the residence of Mr. John T. BARRETT, last Friday, after a short illness of pneumonia. About three weeks ago she was summoned from her home in St. Louis to the bedside of her sick sister, Mrs. BARRETT, who was at the time very ill. Some ten or twelve days ago she was stricken down with pneumonia; and although she had the best of medical attendants, it was soon found that all efforts to restore her to her normal condition were impossible. Her husband having died some years ago, she was left alone to provide for herself and lonely child. Mrs. GLASSIMOR was a member of the Catholic Church; and during her residence here, she gained for herself a host of warm friends, and was always noted for her beneficiations to the church and to the poor. The funeral services were held in the Catholic church at Caledonia, the Rev. K. BERRY officiating. The funeral was largely attended, and many a tear of friendship moistened the cold sod which excluded from view that which remained ???rtaal of their departed friend.

J.H. ENGEL Circuit Court News It appears that there has been at least a little gambling that was not done in De Soto. One day of last week our Pros. Atty., Sheriff and Squire walked into court and plead guilty to indictments of gambling. they, with others, had indulged in a little game of poker, for turkeys. They had just returned from a shooting match, and most of them had no idea that they were violating any law. This is not the first instance in this county, of a prosecuting attorney drawing an indictment against himself for gambling. It was done once by Thomas M. MCMULLIN, Some of the parties who were in the game are kicking and say that they were not doing anything unlawful, and propose to test the matter, by denying guilt and standing trial. Several cases of the City of De Soto against parties for gambling, were on the docket. The parties had been convicted in the recorders court, and appeals taken. EDINGER was tried and acquitted; but a motion is pending to have proceedings declared void and the appeals dismissed; on the grounds that they were not taken within the time required by law. The others are waiting the result of the EDINGER case. Of the cases of the State, to the ??? of the collector, to recover delinquent taxes, judgments were rendered against Leander MITCHELL, et als. For $16.30; G. M. SCHMELL for $5.50; W.R. WILLIAMS et al for $20.95; and Peter WHITE for $23.33. The cases against Thos. LONG and John O'FALLON were continued; and against James REYNOLDS and J.K.C. WILSON, were dismissed. Injunction case of KERSHAW vs MOORE was dismissed by plaintiff. The Grand Jury beat the record; being in session 12 days, and returning 35 indictments. Their fees, paid out of the county treasury, aggregated $383.20; and the fees of eighty witnesses, given script by them, amounted to $162.95. From what has been made public, the business before the jury was confined principally to enquiries about gambling and violations of the dram shop law. No offenses of a more serious nature appear to have been committed; except that an indictment was found against T.B. MOSS for assaulting Geo. RUSSELL, a member of the jury. W.C. DAVIS vs K.S. MANESS; compromised and dismissed. J.W. CLARK, F. WAPPLER, M. FROMHOLD, C. MOCK, and W.D. MILLINCE were each fined $50 for selling on Sunday. Of the parties who played for turkeys, in Hillsboro, MANPIN, and DEARING were each fined $10; GREEn, FORREST and FRAZIER each $1; Sam MORRIS was acquitted by a jury, and the indictment against Robert EVANS was quashed, because the foreman of the grand jury had failed to sign it. Mrs. GRATIOT vs Sallie PINSON---judgment for defendant, on counter claim, for $12.75. The ??? of the Electric Manufacturing Co. vs Sheriff MAUPIN, for attach-ing the dyo??mo and machinery of the Pec??? electric light business, of De Soto, was tried , and is taken under advisement by the court till next term. M.W. and J.A. WILLIAMS vs J.W. CLARK----compromised and dismissed. Several young men of De Soto plead guilty of gambling, and were let off with fines of $5 each. County vs SHEIBLE's bondsman, judgment for $200. Non suits were taken in the divorce ???? of Robert L. vs Mary E. WILEY and James M. vs Achen MANESS. Sarah K. was granted divorce from John G. KAYSER, and given custody of their child. Sheriff was ordered to summon 18 jurymen for a term to be held Feb. 15th and 16th, at which Judge FOX is to preside, and at which time the following cases are set to trial; 15th Day February 15th, 1892 State vs Lilurn THOMAS, indicted for defiling female in his employ, continued from last term. Henry STELBRINK, administrator of estate of John H. MORSE, deceased, vs John A. TUTTLE, et al, for partition, continued from last term. People's Bank of De Soto vs W.E. FITE and W.S. COVINGTON, en note, trial by court and decision continued from last term. Peter BERG vs Noah FAUBER, et al, ejectment, same as above. Thos. C. O'HAVER vs Chas. WALDRON, et al, for partition, continued from last term. 16th day, Tuesday, February 16th, 1892. Ellen MCDOWELL vs City of De Soto, action for damages, continued from last term. P. Francis WELLS, et al, vs Henry LEE, ajectment, continued from last term. James ROBERTSON, and Charles NELSON are two old soldiers who fought side by side for their country and both appear to be fighters yet, in a legal sense at least. Not long since, NELSON and his partner built a house for ROBERTSON. Robertson claimed that the work was not according to contract, and refused to pay, and a lawsuit ensued. Several days were spent before 'Squire FRASIER, and a verdict was finally rendered against ROBERTSON. An appeal was taken to circuit court, and last week three or four days time of the court and jury was spent on it, and there was a host of witnesses, including most of the mechanics of De Soto. Bad blood was engendered, and the lawyers imbibed the feelings of their clients and came near having a fistcuff in the court room, and were only quieted after being plastered with fines. It took a $10 plaster to cool Judge WILLIAMS down, while a $5 was sufficed for Mr. THOMAS. The final result was a verdict for plaintiffs for $40., two dollars less than was awarded them in the justices court. The costs will probably amount to a couple of hundred. Somebody has got to ??w, or else it will be lunchtime for the lawyers and court officers. -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

I had checked the previous part of May 11, 1911's posting (the Probate Court column) before I posted this next part to see if I could find a first name for NULLE/NUELLE...

Evidently the progressive spirit that prompted the removal of the hitch-racks, taking down the old picket line from around the courthouse and building of the large area of granatoid pavement, has infected the several business houses and private offices, as much suds and elbow lubricant has been in vogue the past ten days. Apropo of the high fence that surrounded the court house like a barricade from the Indians, numerous visitors to the county capital wonder why it wasn't done before.
