I see a Pearl L. MOTHERSHEAD of Pea Ridge, Franklin, Mo, over 18, marrying John W. BURNETT of Pea Ridge, Franklin Co, MO, over 21, license issued 10 Dec 1920, married on 10 Dec 1920 by Rev. H.E. Koenig, MG, at Union, Franklin Co,., MO. Does anyone know anything about this Pearl L. Mothershead, especially who her parents and siblings were? The reason I ask: "My" Mothersheads had a daughter Lois born 1906 in St. Clair, MO, and a daughter Pearl Irene Mothershead born 1911 in St. Clair. Their parents were George and Eva MOTHERSHEAD (George was born in DeSoto, Jefferson Co; Eva was a Prewitt, born 1874, probably in Franklin Co.). The family moved in 1913 to Colorado where their daughters Pearl and Lois were married. I am watching for cousins of "my" MOTHERSHEADS, and wondering whether this Pearl Lois Mothershead might be one. Thanks for any help. Susan in Rochester

High Ridge's Demaree Fair celebrates history By Bill Phelan Of the Suburban Journals Meramec Journal 10/03/2001 06:00 AM History and cultural heritage will be celebrated this weekend in High Ridge. The 11th annual Demaree Fair is Saturday and Sunday with events for the entire family. "It started off trying to get the community involved in the history of the area," said Rhea Milisitch, fair chairman and secretary for the Northwest Historical and Preservation Society. Milisitch says the fair has gotten bigger each year. She estimated that last year's crowd was between two and three thousand people. This year's fair will feature some familiar events and some new ones. The Tallow Hill Trading Post will offer items for sale and feature the lifestyle of the 1840s. Old time craft demonstrations will include rope making, cornhusk dolls, candle dipping and woodworking. Fur tanners and trappers will also display their crafts. Milisitch says the kid's games are always a popular event. The pie-eating contest for kids 11-15 will take place 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Pumpkin painting for children ages 5 to 10 will take place 2 p.m. Sunday. "The trading post has a cannon that shoots Tootsie Rolls," Milisitch said. "The kids always get a big kick out of the candy cannon." Children's games and prizes are sponsored by the High Ridge Optimists Club, which also will serve ham and beans. Kettlecorn and homemade root beer also will be available. Live music will be provided both Saturday and Sunday by the Missouri Fiddlers and Country Music Association. A highlight of the fair will be storyteller Donna Ross. Ross will portray Mrs. Jesse Benton Freemont, who was once the First Lady of the State of Texas. Freemont's father was famed U.S. Sen. Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri. Ross' portrayal of Freemont will take place Sunday at 1:30 and is sponsored by the Missouri Humanities Council. Civil War battle reenactments are set for 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Milisitch says about 75 people will take part in this year's reenactments. The Demaree Fair got its name from Cornelius Demaree, who Milisitch said was a wealthy merchant and landowner in what is now called Old House Springs. Demaree moved to House Springs from Kentucky some time before 1837. He served as postmaster for ten years and was on the local school board. "His old house still stands on Main Street," Milisitch said. Admission for the Demaree Fair is $5 per car, or $1 per individual. Fair hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. The fairgrounds are located at 6848 Highway PP in High Ridge. Desoto Joe/The Record Man

Misrepresentations in Kimmswick application to cost Isle of Capri. The Missouri Gaming Commission has fined the Isle of Capri Casinos $250,000 for making four misrepresentations in its application to build a casino in Kimmswick, Mo. The Associated Press reported that in addition to the fine, the second-highest ever given by the commission, the commission ordered Isle of Capri to pay about $65,000 in investigation costs, and submit a report indicating how they will check information they provide to the commission in the future. The commission's investigators said the mistakes were made by consultants, not by the company intending to mislead the commission. On Sept. 21 Isle of Capri scrapped its plans to build a casino in Kimmswick, citing pending and potential litigation, possible condemnation and/or annexation of the site by a neighboring community, engineering and construction obstacles and lack of community support.

Okay -- I'm confused. Iobviously have a mistake, but can't figure out where... 1850 - HH 954. Distr. 42: David Porter age 54 is shown with presumed wife Rebecca and children David, Elizabeth F., Robert J., Cinthia C., Jeremirah, Mary O., Felix G., Joseph J. and Enoch W. Who are the parents of this David? (He is shown living adjacent to the residence of Joseph T. McMullen, age 45. I have Jane or Jean McMullin marrying David McMullin about 1815.) Is this the same David? Or a completely different one? Then there's William Porter age 26 with wife Rebecca age 20 shown in HH 940 in Distr. 42. in 1850. Because Thomas Porter and James Porter are shown in HH #941 and 942, respectively, I assume these are the 3 sons of the same names of David and Jane/Jean Porter. BUT - in 1870, Rebecca Porter is shown heading HH # 163in Plattin Twp wiath children Frances, Enoch, Jefferson, Mary, and Jacob. The ages of the older children roughly correspond to those shown in the 1850 census of David and Rebecca (assuming that some of the Initials shown in the 1850 50 census are used as given names by the 1870 census.) So who are these people. How do they fit together? and Who is the Rebecca shown with William in 1850? Assistance would be greatly appreciated! Jerri Eoff Sudderth

Cheers, Rex This letter came from a sales rep from Melano (a cut flower vendor in=20 California). She was in New York for a trade show that was to be held=20 that week. MONDAY 9-10-01 I arrived in New York Monday evening, the 10th of September. TUESDAY 9-11-01 I awoke early Tuesday morning, to walk to the floral district and touch=20 base with some of our wholesale customers. I had shipped floral product the=20 day before and needed to make arrangements, then prepare my booth and=20 presentation for the show. We were on 6th street; I caught my first glimpse of the World Trade Center,=20 the twin towers rising impossibly upward toward the sky. While inside the=20 store, just off the street, someone came running in and exclaimed they had=20 seen a plane fly low overhead and crash into the World Trade Center. We rushed out into the street and heard several people saying they had seen=20 the plane and that it had appeared to be in distress, flying erratically=20 and revving its engines. Some people thought it had been a prop-driven=20 plane, others thought it was a helicopter. Someone remarked that earlier=20 that day there had been a horrible car accident at the very spot where we=20 were standing. An eerie feeling permeated the atmosphere. Michelle (who was traveling with me) was standing to my left and as I=20 glanced over at her I noticed a large jet airliner very low overhead.=20 "Look, Michelle," I said, "that planes flying low too." Michelle paid=20 little heed to my comment, absorbed as she was in the commotion surrounding=20 us. Moments later, I watched as the plane was briefly lost behind the=20 buildings of New York, then I see a plane appearing for a moment close to=20 the damaged tower. I believe this to be the same plane I had just seen. Then the unimaginable: an enormous ball of fire exploded from the second=20 tower. The sight was incapacitating; my legs began to shake uncontrollably.=20 I knew we were under attack. It was surreal. There was a collective intake=20 of breath as everyone around was transfixed by the vision. Then a myriad of=20 voices, screaming and wailing in dismay as the realization of what was=20 actually happening began to sink in. People gathered around car radios for news. It dawned on me that in the=20 morning we had decided to take care of our business first thing, postponing=20 until later my requested sightseeing tour that is part of anyone's first=20 visit to New York City. The thought that we could have chosen to take in=20 the sights in the morning and the possible outcome of such action was=20 chilling. We began to walk, as my legs were still shaking; walking was difficult. We=20 stopped at a bar and I collapsed onto a seat. I asked for a shot, what it=20 was didn't matter. The bartender brought me a large cognac, which I sipped=20 and then gulped, anxious for grounding. I asked the bartender how much I=20 owed him, he replied, "No charge". The TV suspended by the ceiling played=20 coverage of the attack, and we learned of the Pentagon tragedy. Where else will they hit? Our hotel was right by the Empire State building.=20 Is this happening on the West Coast? My family's in California. How long=20 will this go on? Updated reports revealed unfolding series of events. New York went into a lock down. One could not enter any hotels without=20 photo ID's and a room key. We left the bar to wander the streets in shock. We ambled about for hour=20 after hour, witnessing the chaos of rescue workers, police, firefighters,=20 paramedics and untold numbers of volunteers as they scrambled to restore=20 order. We saw others like us, aimlessly moving, with disbelief, or merely=20 emptiness, in their eyes. As the day grew old and began to fade into night the streets grew more and=20 more deserted, it was dark and we were alone, alone in this crowded city,=20 just us pacing off block after block of broad sidewalks designed to=20 accommodate thousands. We glimpsed an occasional taxi and watched=20 shrieking sirens barreling by. Police officers, mostly cadets, standing=20 guard on almost every corner. We vowed to seek out what we could do to help. WEDNESDAY 9-12-01 Wednesday morning we were out early, on a mission that turned out to be=20 disappointedly unsuccessful. We pounded the pavement for 12 hours, visiting=20 hospital after hospital, then the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army. We signed countless volunteer list and searched in vain for a facility, any=20 type of facility, where we could donate blood. The hospitals were=20 madhouses. There were an incredible number of people drawn to do whatever=20 they could, as we were. The problem was logistics: how to oversee a project=20 of such magnitude with literally no preparation. The blood centers had=20 neither the equipment nor the personnel to collect the huge volume of blood=20 people came to give. The lines stretched, they were simply overwhelmed, so we left our names=20 where we could and eventually found a church. We came to a giant cathedral,=20 St. Patrick's, just as the 5 o'clock mass began, so we entered to pray for=20 the fallen. THURSDAY 9-13-01 We got the call from the Salvation Army early Thursday morning. So we=20 proceeded on foot from our hotel through this empty city. Passing the only=20 business's open, deli's and an occasional restaurant. Arriving at the=20 Salvation Army headquarters on 14th, we were processed and issued photo=20 ID's to establish us as working for the Salvation Army. We were assigned to=20 a Salvation Army red tag minister, who loaded us into a Suburban. It was in=20 the car when we were informed we were headed for Ground Zero. I looked to Michelle and asked her if she would be ok. I told her, how,=20 when I needed strength, I would visualize roots extending from my feet=20 going down into the earth. This was how I would stay grounded. We passed barricade after barricade and were waved through. We walked the=20 last few blocks. Dropping off some of our passengers at designated=20 Salvation Army stations. Three of us would continue to walk into Ground=20 Zero. As we approached, I noticed some buildings and cars with windows=20 blown out. The closer we ascended; the horror of witnessing a war zone came=20 into view. What stuck me was all the paper, briefs, memos and notes of all kinds,=20 blended within the piles of ash. Like confetti. I found it odd these=20 hadn't burned in the explosion. Knowing that each sheet had come from=20 someone's office. Vehicles were smashed or burned beyond recognition.=20 Twisted metal lay scattered. We found our tent in disarray, with water and=20 other vital supplies piled high. We set out to organize the supplies amidst=20 a post-apocalyptic scene. As anyone who's seen me at a trade show knows I'm not one to stand inside=20 of the booth. Instead I chose to stand out in the aisle, meeting and=20 greeting each person as they come by. Something compels me to get out and=20 make real human contact, to touch someone and look in their eyes, to share=20 real compassion no matter how hectic the surroundings. As soon as we had a=20 handle on the emergency tent, I set out with water, food, aspirin and an=20 open heart, to give what comfort I could. I did not ask them if they wanted=20 food or water, I just walked up and gave it to them. As one construction=20 worker took the offer of water from me, I laid my hand on his arm. He looks=20 at me and said, "Who are you. Who are you, your touch. How do you touch me=20 so". He proceeded to tell me about his life. This gave me a feeling of purpose. That day we were given 3 sets of facemask. With the receiving of the next=20 we were told the latter was not sufficient for this area. Later, while listening to a construction worker explain how he was helping,=20 someone yelled run. I became part of a human stampede. With my hands above=20 my head, I was swept along for nearly a block. Finally stopping to catch my=20 breath and turn around to see what had happened. Apparently they thought=20 the building we were standing next to, The American Express Building, was=20 coming down. I can only imagine what is was like for all those who ran from the Towers=20 as they collapsed. Sitting by me was a man holding his shoulder. As he was=20 running a woman had fallen. He went to pick her up and was driven into the=20 back of a truck. I laid a bag of ice on his shoulder, staying with him,=20 while someone went to get a medic. He told me there was no way he was=20 leaving. As the day would go, I spoke with many who had lost part of their team, a=20 sister of their wife, or a cousin. I felt honored and privileged to stand side by side with America's finest.=20 They came from all over the country: Police, Firefighters, Search and=20 Rescue, FBI, ARMY and Construction Workers. There for one purpose, united=20 in a desperate yet concentrated effort to find survivors. Many times=20 during the day these individuals were saying thank you to me. I would put=20 my arms around them and tell them how proud I am of them. So grateful I=20 was that I could be there for each of them. The Salvation Army works in approximately 6 hours shifts. At that time=20 their officers needed to leave. Because of the chaos around, it was=20 difficult crossing the barricades and so we would find ourselves alone to=20 do this job. Many times I had volunteers coming to me looking for direction= s. Late that evening some Police officers from New Jersey gave us a ride back=20 to our hotel. As we drove out past the barricades, there must have been 4=20 blocks of people standing on the side of the street with banners that read=20 THANK YOU ...YOU ARE OUR HERO'S...That is when a tear rolled down my cheek. FRIDAY 9-14-01 We would wake early Friday morning to rain showers falling upon the=20 city. Again we would walk to the Salvation Army headquarters, stopping=20 first in the Floral district to touch bases with our customers. Letting=20 them know we were ok and where we were going. We moved the supplies into the food court of the American Express building.=20 Donations had been coming in by the tons. Once again I set to bring=20 organization to our station. The tables were placed in a u-shape. Where=20 water was set on one table, extra water was placed behind. Fruit behind=20 fruit, sandwiches, behind sandwiches, etc. This way when I was out serving=20 others, I knew as more supplies came in, people would see the order and=20 continue this pattern. I had to work and find some order in the midst of=20 chaos. The morgue was set up just outside our door. Bodies would be carried in=20 right before us. A wave of silence would roll in with each body. About=20 six men carrying a stretcher, the body incased in a black bag. Stopping in=20 front of us, all would take off their hats, bow their heads, as the priest,=20 rabbi, or fire chief would say a prayer. Proceeding on to be placed in the=20 refrigerated trucks just outside. Later that day as I was walking up the=20 street, a man crossed my path carrying a piece of sheet metal. There in=20 front of me on this piece of metal was a large hand, palm up, the arm=20 extended to the elbow. The arm still wearing part of a shirt. They say you never forget the smell of bodies. I continued to reach out and was embraced by many heroes. I asked one=20 officer about all the medals he wore upon his chest. One was for bravery=20 and the act of heroism. It was during a hostage takeover, the man held the=20 girl in front of him, as a barrier. Then aimed his gun at the officer, the=20 gun jammed. With each medal there was another heroic story. I said you must=20 have 9 lives. He said, "No, I have a guardian angel". This angel had spoken=20 to him, and his partner heard the same voice, telling them to leave the=20 area. They were able to get out of the line of fire, because of that voice. A firefighter sat alone on a blanket. His hands rubbing his temples.=20 Kneeling down by his feet placing my hand on his leg, I offer him some=20 aspirin, he takes 4, and cold tea. Knowing he will need food to go with=20 the aspirin, I bring him back a sandwich and cookie. Telling me he has been=20 there since Tuesday, part of his team was missing. His eyes seemed to look=20 past me, as though he was looking at and remembering their faces. Oh God give me the strength to help. This was my mantra. Literally, the rescue process was being done one bucket at a time. By the=20 time we left on Saturday evening, only 2% of the debris would be removed. Located below the Embassy Suites, we discovered the only restaurant with=20 some electricity and running water. A treasure was to be found in their=20 freezers and refrigerators. I proceeded to pull out ham, turkey and cheeses. Figuring out how to use a=20 slicing machine and the electric ovens, we were able to serve quite a few=20 hot meals. For dessert, chocolate eclairs and cheese cake. It was a=20 thrilling moment to discover the restaurant coffee machine worked. Now we=20 could make 20-40 gallons at a time. I met the owners who came by later=20 giving their full permission to use anything we needed. They would be=20 coming back on Monday with a full crew. A foreman comes to me with a plea in his eyes. His men will not leave=20 there post, telling me they will not come out, he has to feed them. I grab=20 a box and fill it with power bars and water. Telling him if he needs more,=20 find me. At 11pm I tell Michelle, I need to close my eyes for a couple of hours.=20 Finding an empty booth in one of the restaurants, rest would not come easy. It's 2am Saturday morning, Someone told me Michelle has left and would be=20 back about 7am. I would see her again about 11am. The Army has ordered a=20 complete lock down. All those inside must be issued news tags. Those=20 without these new tags would be removed from this area. We would need to=20 walk down to the Army headquarters where we would again show our driver's=20 license, our Salvation Army tags and give them our social security=20 numbers. These new blue tags read.. Mayor's Office of Emergency Management World Trade Center Emergency City of New York Approved Infrastructure #9915 Now 3am. There are just three of us manning the station. Doesn't matter=20 that it's early in the morning, these amazing rescue crews never give up. Coffee and milk were running low. Two stalls down in this food court, with=20 its doors still open, a Starbucks beckoned me. Flashlight in hand, I=20 proceeded to empty their shelves of all their coffee. Finding they had the=20 boxed cartons of milk that needed no refrigeration. I left the=20 decaffeinated coffee. So there I was from 3am to 9am grinding coffee beans making gallons of very=20 strong gourmet coffee, knowing they would need a good jolt of caffeine.=20 Every time I would attempt to carry one of these containers, someone would=20 come running up offering to help. You know me; I kindly tell them "No, I=20 can do this". Thinking they were all to busy with their own assignments. I learned quickly, that I could not argue with a man in uniform. Each time=20 I brought in another container, I would announce to the rescue workers=20 fresh Starbucks coffee made just for you.Throughout that morning people=20 would come up to me, most knowing me by name, thanking me for the best and=20 strongest cup of coffee they have had. Around 9am the water was turned off. For about 10 minutes I thought I=20 would lose it. Sheer panic spread over me. So many where expecting this=20 coffee. I felt I would be letting them down. Well that took nearly 9=20 minutes. That last minute I reached within, to grab forth every bit of=20 training I had to see this through. I put the call out, No more coffee.=20 Within two - three hours word comes back that Starbucks was bringing in coff= ee. Later as I am checking in on other stations. I pass through Battery Park,=20 walking towards the water. Stunned as I take in my first sight on the=20 Statue of Liberty. In front of me I see freedom, behind me I see mass=20 destruction. Michelle has informed me we are confirmed to fly home Sunday morning. Leaving Ground Zero late Saturday evening was very difficult. As much as I=20 wanted to get home to my family, I also felt as though I was abandoning all=20 those remaining. We would walk out side by side with other volunteers. The crowds outside=20 the barricades were now massive. A roar of cheers greeted us on our=20 exit. Many offering us food, water and clean shirts. Thankful to see a=20 cellular phone company offering the use of cell phones to call our loved one= s. Three construction workers offered to give us a ride back to our hotel. I=20 am sure they were The Three Stooges reincarnated. Much gratitude in their=20 ability to make me laugh. SUNDAY We arrive at the airport 3 =BD hours early. It would take us 3 hours to=20 check in. Our flight is on American Airlines. As we board, everyone is=20 looking into the eyes of everyone else. In their minds saying "Who are=20 you, Who are you". That first hour for me was the most difficult. Thankfully the trip home was uneventful. It is still difficult being back=20 home when I know there is still so much more to be done in New York. --part1_6.1c9b87d7.28e1dc42_boundary--

Isle of Capri scraps Kimmswick casino plan. Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. has scrapped its plans to build a riverboat casino in Kimmswick, Mo. in Jefferson County. Residents of Kimmswick had protested the casino since it was approved in July 2000 by the Missouri Gaming Commission. The company cited pending and potential litigation, possible condemnation and/or annexation of the site by a neighboring community, engineering and construction obstacles and lack of community support for dropping the plans. The company said it could not develop the site within its previously proposed time frame. However, it said it is committed to the St. Louis area and "would hope to develop a project in that area in the future." Biloxi, Miss.-based Isle of Capri Casinos operates 14 casinos at 13 locations.

I tried to order Jefferson County Newspapers on microfilm for the period 1865-1866, thru interlibrary loan, but have been told I need to be more specific i.e. - I need the name of the newspapers to complete the request. Can someone tell me if the newspaper I would need to order would be the Hillsboro Jefferson Democrat. Thanks

Thanks again to Charlie and Dave for your kind assistance. Joe, it never entered my mind that directions to a cemetery might need to be kept secret! Guess I just wasn't thinking. It is sad that these precautions are necessary. I appreciate the good, caring people on this list. Barbara Moses b-moses@swbell.net

First off I want to say, WAY TO GO DAVE! I'm adding the name into my database. I think it should be up to Dave if he wants to release the directions (The name of the road). I'll be going back there sometime to snap a few pics & check a few stones. Dave, the pile we saw, were those just footstone markers, or was there some headstones in it? Desoto Joe/The Record Man
