Does anyone know who the John W. NULL listed below is? And was he the same person of whose estate Louise NULLE was administrator? (Notice of) Final Settlement John W. NULL, Deceased ...that I, the undersigned, ...final settlement of said estate...of the Probate court of Jefferson County to be held at Hillsboro on X day in May 1911. John F. McBROOM, Public Administrator Jerri Eoff Sudderth 1611 E. River Pkwy. Minneapolis, MN 55414 651/332-3796

Yes Linda, there are divorce records for Jefferson county. They will be in the court records at the court house in the county seat, Hillsboro. They will be indexed by both plaintiff and defendant. Hope this helps, Dan

Am trying to locate this family in Jefferson County on the 1930 census. Heas of household would be Ellsworth. ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more. Manage less. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250

Jefferson Democrat Jan. 30, 1890 Volunteer Transcription - Last part Mr. M. MARSDEN traded last Friday for what he supposed to be a good horse, but the animal died on Saturday.  The party, who took my bridle reins and throat latch, will much oblige by returning same.    E. B. MAUPIN Mrs. P. R. HAVERSTICK, of near Victoria, died last Friday of Puerpal fever.  She leaves a husband and several children to mourn her loss .      A man named SALZMANN was put in jail last week, to serve out the balance of a fine against him, imposed on him a year ago September.   James N. WHITEHEAD  Post G. A. R. of Victoria installed a new act of officers last Saturday night, and had a grand supper and a good time generally. Beware of imitations in Dr. HOFFMAN'S Family medicine.  F. TRAUDT'S are the only genuine.    The verdict in the case against James WILLIAMS, wherein he was fined $50 for attempting an assault on a girl, was confirmed last week by the court of appeals. Dr. FARRAR'S only child, a very bright little girl of six years, was reported as dangerously ill with pneumonia Tuesday night. We hope she is out of danger by this time. Little Roscoe BRYAN had a birthday party last Saturday, but on account of the mud and general bad health, but few of the little ones were able to attend.  He must try it again next year. Mrs. Clay MOSS of Sandy, died last Friday, after a lingering illness of dropsy. She leaves three children, all boys; the youngest about four years old. The bereaved husband has our sympathy. James J.  WILSON, Sr. has been fortunate enough to secure a re-rating of his pension and he drew last week  $109 in lump.  With it he paid off the mortgage on his house, and now feels much relieved. Mr. Benjamin JENNINGS, brother of Mark C. JENNINGS, died at Festus on the 17th last quite aged.  We had but a limited acquaintance with him, but he was much esteemed by all who knew him. Licensed to marry: William M. CUMMINS  and Mary  K. WILLIAMS John  Peter AUBUCHON and Delia CRAIG John M. GAINES and Mary D. McCORMACK George  FINK and Emma BERGNER Judge Jos. J. WILLIAMS, as administrator, made sale of the personal effects of the late James S. WILLIAM last Friday.  Some articles sold very low, while others brought a good price. The sale bill amounted to $2,045.   D.M. PARK, of DeSoto announces his business in this paper.  Those desiring to buy or sell real estate will do well to call on Mr. PARK, as he is a reliable man to deal with and pushes everything put into his hands.   Frank BOUGHTON will furnish beef by the quarter, at 4 and 6 cents, two days notice being previously given him.   We notice that mining leases have been recorded from T.W. MUNSON, to Charles W. BUCHLER, and from John H. SCHNEEBERGER to William R SWAN.  The land lies  near the railroad, between Horine and Silica, and is to be prospected for coal and mineral.    Taken up by A. CARROLL, in Joachim township, one brown or dark bay four year old horse, which if not called for, I will proceed to post before Charles G. WARNE, justice of the peace of Joachim township.  James Watson MCCORMACK, who went from Plattin to California in 1852, has lately been heard from.  He is now at Lewiston, Idaho, from which point he lately wrote to B.C. BERRY. This is the first time anyone here has heard from him since 1873.  He is a brother of Hardy MCCORMACK of Plattin.   In this issue will be found the professional card of Joseph FLYNN. Mr. FLYNN is formerly of Ste. Genevieve, and was for years the Editor of the Fair Play. He is an intelligent, clever gentleman, and has located in Festus for the practice of his profession, the law. We commend him to those who need legal services.   MCGLEN, the man convicted of grand larceny, made a powerful appeal to the court for a new trial, but the judge informed him that he did not think another trial would result differently from the one already had, that the evidence in his judgment justified the verdict. He then passed sentence on the prisoner in accordance with the verdict of the jury, for three years in the pen.   Mrs. Martin HUSKEY and family were burned out of house and home last Friday night. The day had been comparatively warm, and there was but little fire kept. Mrs. Huskey was up sewing, till about ten o'clock, and there was no indication of danger, but after midnight, they were all awakened by the fire and smoke, and escaped only partly dressed. Two stoves and two feather beds were hastily thrown out, and that was about all that was saved. The origin of the fire is a mystery. There was no insurance, and the family are left in a bad plight. A subscription was started for them in town next morning, and sufficient raised for present emergencies.   We were informed Tuesday night, of a very sad occurrence at DeSoto, the report of it being as follows.  Mrs. EICHELBERGER, a daughter of Mr. W. H. WALKER, had been confined and a severe spell of sickness followed.  Her Aunt, Mrs. STEWART was assisting to nurse her. During a night she went to administer the medicine and though mistake gave the sick woman a dose of carbolic acid, from the effects of which she died.  This may not be strictly correct in all particulars, but Mrs. EICHELBERGER is dead, and we presume the other facts stated to be correct, or we would not give publicity to them. Of course no blame is attached to any one concerned.   We hear that Mrs. Henry NEINEMER of Morse's Mill was buried this week. She leaves a husband and some small children to mourn her death.   Circuit Court The Sheriff was ordered to pay to Leroy BOWER, executor of estate of Wm GRAHAM, $133 out of proceeds of sale of land to partition between heirs of said deceased.   Otto HERMAN, Chris HOCK, Philip BLANK, George ROLDASON, and C.W. SCHELBING were each fined one dollar for shooting on Sunday.   Henry BLAKE, for obtaining goods under false pretenses, was fined one dollar.   Paul SPITZ was acquitted of the charge of injuring property of John ZUFALL.   In a proceeding in County Court, on petition of John GALVIN and others for a public road through land of Catherine LAUMAN, commissioners awarded eighty dollars damages. Her attorneys were not satisfied with the amount awarded, and appealed to the Circuit Court. The jury, after long consideration, gave her the same amount awarded by the commissioners, throwing her in for the costs.   The case against Robert MCBROOM attracted the largest array of witnesses. The jury acquitted him.   The case against T.W. POOLE, charged with swindling one TINDALE, brought here from St. Louis, was continued till next term.   James HALLEY was convicted of common assault and fined $1.   Samuel MEDLEY, the boy who killed his cousin, was found guilty of manslaughter in 4th degree and sentenced to six months in jail. The great disparity in the ages and sizes of the prisoner and the deceased, the prisoner being but a little boy and the one killed nearly 21 years of age and over six feet in height, and the cutting having been done in a fight, led the public to conclude that the plea of self defense would be accepted as sufficient and the prisoner acquitted, but it was shown that Sam is a bad boy and that he engaged in the fight willingly.   Louis NOCE was made a citizen of the U.S.   Ella L. EHRICHS et al, partition, Isaac S. BAKER, Chris FUNK, and J. Ed WAGGENER were appointed commissioners to divide the land.   Adolphus BAUCHIS vs. A. JACCARD on account, judgment for plaintiff for $45.   Chris BECK vs. Herman HAAS, on note, judgment for plaintiff for $3000.   GARR, SCOTT & Co. vs. Lewis HALL, note withdrawn and case dismissed.   Harry REYNOLDS, a young man from DeSoto, has got himself in jail, and is in a good way to go up higher. He is charged with seduction under promise of marriage. If he can give an approved bond of $1000 he will be released till next term.   D.F. MCKEE and J. H. HAZZARD plead guilty to having been in a game for a cow and each were fined $5.   George and Lewis ROHLFING were convicted of maintaining a nuisance, and fined $5. They are butchers, and the nuisance complained of is their slaughter house.   August SEYPOHLTOWSKI and his daughter, Lizzie, were tried for assault   on Lawrence LAUTENFELD .  It seems that Miss. Lizzie was engaged to one John STEINMANN, to who LAUTENFELD  carried some reports derogatory to her character.  Passing by Mr. S's shortly afterwards. Mr. S called to his daughter to bring the gun.  She brought it and LAUTENFELD  ran; she followed him some distance and fired the pistol, once she says, up in the air. The jury cleared them both.  Charles MCNULTY and John   STEINMANN, two of the witnesses, got drunk before they were called into court, and the judge sent them to jail to sober up. Some time ago John WILCOX and his son Smith, who ran a ferry near Rush Tower, found a darkey in the night on one of their boats. They got their guns and ordered him away, and as he came towards them Smith shot him in the face with a load of bird-shot, which put out one of his eyes. Both the Wilcoxes were tried at this term, the old gentleman acquitted and the young man found guilty and fined $100.   Lewis OGLE and J. BRADFORD plead guilty to gaming and were fined $5 each.   H. ZERMAN and Wm. S. FRENCH  were made citizens of the U.S.   Grand Jury Report: We the undersigned committee of grand jurymen beg leave to report: That we visited the County Poor Farm and Insane Asylum, and we found that the inmates of the insane department were not provided with fire to heat the rooms sufficient to enable the inmates to live in any manner comfortable, or keep themselves from suffering from the cold. We found the bed clothing insufficient and filthy. We found that the insane were not sufficiently clothed. We found the building in need of repairs; the walls of the insane department were open in many places, thereby causing much distress to the unfortunate insane. We found the stoves in the several houses were much worn, and we suggest that the stoves be replaced and more precaution taken against fire. And we call special attention to the stove pipes, that they are in reach of the unfortunate insane paupers, and should be made more secure. We found that the fence around the insane building is in dilapidated condition, and we suggest that it be repaired. We had no means of ascertaining the quality or quantity of the food provided for the inmates. The paupers did not complain very seriously when questioned on the subject.  John W. RITCHER  Cornelius DILLON  John SHELTON   Zion Items: First let me introduce Zion to any reader who does not know where and what Zion is - I mean this earthly Zion. It is a pleasant and intelligent neighborhood, thickly settled. We have here the Zion church, the Zion Sunday School, the Zion Public School, and the Zion Farmer's and Laborer's Union. Rev. O.W. ROSE of Festus, has an appointment to preach here at 3 p.m. every Sabbath. Mr. R.G. MORGAN is president of the F.A.L. Union, which meets at the school house on alternate Friday nights. The church and school building are about two hundred and fifty yards apart, situated on the old St. Louis, Hillsboro, and Potosi state road, about four miles west of Horine, six miles east of Hillsboro, and three miles north of Hematite. Before the present term began, the school house was newly floored and furnished with new patent oak desks, which are very durable. Our second school month ended January 7th. The number of pupils enrolled for that month was 47; the average daily attendance 36. Those pupils whose average scholarship attained to and exceeded 90 percent on a scale of 100 are as follows: Hettie CALDWELL 96, Grace MARTIN 95, Laura GOODMAN 93, Rosa GOODMAN 90, Laura WHITEHEAD 90. This is the roll of honor. To attain this standard in school depends upon three principals namely; regular attendance, good deportment, and well prepared lessons. Most of the pupils are taking a live interest in the work.   Wedding bells echoed from the hilltops and resounded along the valley's of Zion on the eve of December 25th. The contracting parties were Mr. Lausen BOUGHTON and Miss Minnie JENNINGS.   Robert MORGAN Jr. has about recovered from a bout of pneumonia and an abscess under the right arm.   Prof. J.W. ALLEN of Hematite, organized a singing class here last week, but owing to the severe illness of his wife, he will not be able to give instructions for some time.    Obituary, Died Thomas Grover , son of A.J. and Annie SPENCER, December 23, 1889, aged five years, and four months.  While parents and friends miss little Grover, he enjoys the pleasure of the Kingdom of Heaven.   Died At DeSoto,  December 20  , 1889 of Consumptions, Miss. Mary CRIPPIN, in the 23 year of her age.  She suffered for many years with this dreaded disease, but all her sufferings she bore with remarkable patience. She was a member of the Episcopal Church. She leaves a father and one sister to mourn her loss, besides many very warm friends.    Rock Creek Grandma YATES is visiting relatives in St. Louis.   Alf BECKLEG has been on an extended "tear down" to the "dead bottoms" of Sandy.   Joe SWALLER went to St. Louis to buy a light running wagon, and since he has it fifteen bushels of wheat is a good load for his greys.   Our carpenter J. H. BONACKER wears a smile on each cheek and his dip on the back of his head; all this signifies that a young Democrat is at his house.   William STRAHER was seen carrying two shocks of fodder at one load - something very uncommon for so small a man. It is a young Republican at his house that makes him so fractious.   Frank KRATOCHVILL is around butchering for the neighbors. Frank would make a better carpenter than butcher; but woe unto his fingers if he could not hit a nail better than a sow's head.   A grand ball was given at the residence of Mrs. Gebhardt KICK  last Saturday night.   John HAMEL sold his grey horse to Albert MULL. The people of Luxemburg knew John's horse three miles distant; but he surprised the denizens of burg the other day by riding up on a bicycle of his own make.   Notice is hereby given that a petition will be presented to the county court of Jefferson County on Monday the 24th day of March 1890 asking for a dissolution of the corporation of the town of Hematite in said Jefferson County.

Any info on Otto Wenom - Undertaker Kimmswick or if there are any records still available. Linda

Does Kimmswick Cemetery have any other names?

Does anyone know if there are divorce records for Jefferson County? 1910 census says my great grandparents are divorced, cant find great grandfather anywhere but found great grandmother. My grandfather was born in 1912, his birth certificate lists great grandfather as the father. Family story says they were still married at the time of his death. I recently got a death certificate for who I thought was great grandfather, much of the info is inconclusive however it says Divorced, he died in the right location and the cause of death is similar to family stories. His parents are different than I thought they would be, however so far I don't find a family that fits in any census (could be under a mispell) The informant was possibly his brother in law, if this is my correct person. I am so confused...anyway, I am hoping they may be a divorce record somewhere to help clear things up. Linda

Does anyone know if there exists Coroners Records in Jefferson County for 1917? thanks Linda

Jefferson County Record May 11, 1911 Volunteer Transcription Part 2 On the front page, there appears to be the obit of Mr. OGLE. Part of the column is missing. Five or six other local items in that column also can't be transcribed. The High school boys assisted by the 8th grade boys will give a minstrel in the Opera house, which promises to be the best play of the season by home talent. As it is out of the common, it is expected to draw a large crowd. Our fellow townsman, R. L. HUSKEY has been showered with honors lately. He was elected a delegate to the M.W.A. county convention, and there elected as a delegate to the state convention in Hannibal where he was elected as a delegate to the national convention which convenes in New York.

A dance was given in the club house in Crystal City Friday night, the proceeds to go to the Festus and Crystal City concert band.

Transcribed by Lisa Jefferson Democrat August 28, 1890 (additional part) Festus and Crystal Mrs. Aaron MOORE is still confined to her bed, although she has improved some during the past few days.   There is hardly a man who has more afflictions in his family than Mr. Joseph THOMURE of Silica. Some one of his family is always sick   At Herculaneum the boom is immense. Laborers and merchants are in constant demand, if reports I receive from there are true. On one of the calcine furnaces, the frame work is about completed and all around improvements are steadily advancing. In less than two years Herculaneum will rise from it's ashes, Phoenix like, and become a prominent place once more.   Our musical talent is constantly enlarging. In addition to three military bands now existing, two others are in course of organization. Our Creole friends are today organizing an orchestra, and to that end, they have received valuable talent from Ste. Genevieve, in the person of Leon LABRAYERE, an old pupil of mine. Another military band will soon be "marching through" Tanglefoot, with stately step and harmonious strains. If I can, I will march with them and surprise our people.   Fritz AUBERLE is one, and Charlie GRAY is another, and unfortunately, each has a head of his own, and a stubborn one, too. Charlie and Fritz are neighbors, but Charlie don't like Fritz, and Fritz don't like Charlie "und dat isch wat all dimes makes druvel." But Fritz says that Charlie has some bad boys, and Fritz some times treats them as the Jews served St. Stephens. Fritz thinks he owns the Rocky Mountains, and has a right to use his property freely on the bad boys, but Mayor ADAMS don't think so and makes Fritzes, as well as Franzes and Charlies, reach down their pockets and pull out some dimes instead of half dimes, and "dat isch yust wat isch de matter mid dem."   Smith WILCOX  was somewhat surprised last Sunday morning, about 10 a.m. by seeing a corpse floating in the river, near his home at Selma. The coroner was notified and went down to hold the requisite inquest. The men who were summoned as jurors gave the following verdict; We the jury find deceased was a man about 5 feet 10 inches high, weights about 170 pounds, and age about 45 years. He wore Congress gaiters, trousers, and a vest of black jeans (nearly new) striped shirt and seer sucker coat, brown striped. Nothing to identify the body was found, only a few matches in the vest pocket. The face was cleanly shaved, only about a three days growth of beard. Supposition is that he came to his death by accidental drowning or by suicide.    Sulpher Springs Miss Laura PARISH has been visiting her friends here.   Louis MILLER has moved from the suburbs to the landing.   Miss Katie KIRK is entertaining her cousin from Illinois.   Mrs. Minnie RICHARDS has gone home to her parents, who reside at Sandy.   Miss Mary BRADSHAW entertained her friend Miss Nora MCGUIRE on the 23rd.   Miss Mollie DONOVAN of Pevely was visiting Miss Katie BECHLER and other friends at this place.   I hear that nearly all the girls went back on our friend Hubert CASTILE Jr. I hope he may find the right one some day.   Alex COLE is building a new two story house and Dr. HULL is erecting a drugstore, while Mr. Johnson is putting a new porch on his house.   List of Conveyances: Ed BURGESS to Orlando MORRIS, lot in DeSoto B.C.

Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell McCORMACK visited relatives and friends at Bonne Terre last week. Miss Lulu and Master Claude POSTON? are visiting at Plattin P.O. They reside at Bonne Terre Willis FITR?, the miller at Bonne Terre, is buying all the wheat he can get along the Mississippi River and Bonne terre railroad. He bought Eddie COLE’s wheat last week. W. S. McCORMACK A and family are expected to attend a wedding near Licking?, Texas county. Mr. T. TAYLOR and wife are are stopping here. He is blind and his wife is disabled in her right hand, but they do not want to go to the county farm. If they could get a little assistance from the county they might be less expensive to the taxpayers than if they were at the poor farm. Mrs. T. is willing to work all she can, but can not support herself and her husband both. The neighbors would help some if the county did something. Another storehouse has been started at McCORMACK Station. I am afraid there will be more merchants than ???ers at that place.
