Why can't they use something like this to locate the missing people in the WTC? I've been wondering about that?

System being tested by CERL spies archaeological sites from the sky 09/15/2001 03:18 PM CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- Bob Melia found the ancient burial ground behind the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Lab without turning a shovel of dirt. Which is good, because Melia was looking for the archaeological site from an airplane 1,100 feet up. It was a test of a system that can use an airborne infrared camera to pick out everything from ancient civilizations to spent munitions to the remains of missing soldiers. Melia is a contractor for the National Park Service, which thinks the system has potential for doing mass archaeological surveying on the huge amount of property it oversees. The Army obviously has interest in finding remains of soldiers missing, say, from the Vietnam War. But it also is interested in archaeological sites on its bases. The law requires historical sites to be catalogued at least, and in some cases may prevent any activities on a piece of property. ``They can be show stoppers,'' said Michael Hargrave, an archaeologist and researcher with the Army lab. That's why CERL ended up with an ancient burial ground in its back yard. CERL researchers built the grave site, the remains of a pioneer settlement and a prehistoric garbage dump and camp fire pit, common archaeological features all. CERL's Controlled Archaeological Test Site, or CATS, was created to test a variety of noninvasive ways to locate and assess possible archaeological and historical sites, from electric current to magnetic waves. The test site is laced with animal bones, pottery shards, mussel shells, burnt wood, bricks and other materials characteristic of the sites and all precisely mapped. That allows researchers to make a precise assessment of the accuracy of the methods they're testing. It was CERL's first test of the infrared camera system, which holds particular promise because it can be operated from an airplane. ``It has the ability to scan across such big areas of land very quickly,'' Hargrave said. The rig also was flown over land where the University of Illinois may put its new research farms and golf course south of the campus, looking for signs of long-gone farmsteads from the 1840s and 1860s. Melia, president of Real-Time Thermal Imaging in Kenner, La., said the system works because the disturbed earth and the materials in the sites are cooler in the morning and warmer in the evening than surrounding terrain, giving them a different thermal signature. That's true even if the site is several hundred, or thousand, years old, he said. ``We've gotten sites from the 1600s,'' Melia said. ``We've done a number of Civil War and 17th-century sites. With the Civil War, we're finding primarily unmarked cemeteries and battlefields.'' Melia uses what looks like a standard hand-held video camera. But the device captures thermal variations in the area over which he flies, not home movies. The footage can be manipulated and enhanced with the computer and software that's part of the system, even rendered as a 3-D map. The images might not say much to a lay person, but archaeologists can see a feature such as a pattern of rectangular rows, and tell that it spells unmarked graveyard. ``This camera will never replace the archaeologist,'' Melia said. ``You need somebody with the training to recognize the features.''

Missouri History Museum gets bomb threat; no bomb found. The Missouri History Museum in Forest Park received a bomb threat just before 11 a.m. this morning. A search by police found no bomb and "police believe it was a hoax," said Karen Goering, executive vice president. The call came into the museum's Meriwether's restaurant, Goering said. Museum officials evacuated the museum building in Forest Park as well as the museum's Library and Research Center on Skinker Boulevard. "Quite frankly, because of the events today, there were only a handful of visitors," Goering said. The museum's staff went home at noon. Plans call for reopening the museum to the public on Wednesday. Desoto Joe/The Record Man

Here's part of the email with the marriage information that I rec'd several months ago. Please keep me posted! - Kay, Florida Subj: Clercs Date: 12/7/00 7:09:04 PM Eastern Standard Time From: (Linda Stinecipher) To: MehdiFakhar@aol.com Hi Kay Long day. Went to Hillsboro courthouse today. Now I know why your researcher had problems. The records are very disorganized except for marriage records. They also have Pierre L. Clerc marrying a Mrs. Matilda Shoults, both from Hillsboro, Jefferson Co. on 24 June 1919, Marriage Book 8, page 376, license # 96, married by Justice of the Peace Phillip M. Reilly at Hillsboro. Then to make things interesting, they show Mrs. Matilda Clerc marrying Joseph J. Harnshire, both of St. Louis by a Minister of the Gospel, George Steel on 22 Sept 1928, in Marriage Book 10, page 374, license #193

Sue and anyone else who is interested: In addition to the possible connection we have to Matilda Shoults (that I just emailed you on), I wanted to let you know something else. I have a really nice photo of my grandfather, Francis (Frenchy) Clerc and a couple of other men, about 1926 taken at Wall Motor Company in Desoto, MO. - Kay, FL

I have a newspaper clipping, along with a photo, of sheriff's deputies emptying bootleg liquor from a still. They are in the street in front of Carl Clark's gas store across the street from the court house in Hillsboro, MO. One of the deputies was my uncle, Jule Marsden.

Doug, Well! Your message sent chills up my back! Yes, my ggrandmother's maiden name was supposedly PRUITT/PREWETT. She has been my "brick wall" so far (but I only started a few months ago). When I saw the Matilda SHOULTS obituary, there were too many connections to ignore, plus, as I described in my e-mail to the Franklin Co. list, there was even doubt as to my ggrandmother's "real" maiden name. It looks like my mother was correct about PREWETT! Orientation 1: Once there were three sisters (Prewett? Shoults?Other?): Tilda, the oldest; and Adeline and Eva (my ggrandmother), twins, born 18 Oct 1874, supposedly in St. Clair. They are supposed to also have had a younger brother John, who perhaps was "taken back to England with his father" when their mother died around 1896 and the family split up. Orientation 2: Lavicia EMMONS had a daughter Amanda Francis whose second marriage was to a SHOULTS, and whose grandson Simon WALL married Adeline PREWITT in 1890 in Franklin Co, in a ceremony performed by Lavicia's son Julius Ely (J.E.) SHORT. (Doug, please correct me if I got this wrong.) OK, let me ask you a couple of questions. (1) About the Adeline PREWET/Simon WALL marriage 29 Mar 1890 in Franklin Co--I can order the microfilm through the local Family History Library. However, if you should happen to already have a copy........?? Might you be able to get it to me? I will be glad to send a SASE or maybe you are high tech???? (2) Re the list of Simon & Adeline's children (Sidney, Ida, William Oscar, Vida), when you say it is "hearsay," what exactly do you mean? i.e., is it someone's "family history" or speculation among this mailing list, or what? (I am inclined to believe at least Sidney, since there was a Sidney WALL at the home of my grandmother's family in the 1920 census.) Has anyone seen Adeline and Simon WALL's family on a census, like in about 1910, with children listed? Finally, two pieces of speculation of my own: (A) Matilda SHOULTS' obituary had her maiden name as SHOULTS, as well as her married name. This was, of course, suspect. Her obituary references her sister Adelyn WALLS of De Soto, Mo. My guess is that this is the same Adeline marrying Simon WALL in Franklin Co. in 1890. It also makes it likely that Matilda SHOULTS' maiden name "really" was PREWETT, not SHOULTS. I have already ordered the Franklin Co. records for the time period, to look for a marriage Feb. 1891 between George MOTHERSHEAD (born 21 Sep 1866 in DeSoto) and Eva(ngeline) PRUITT. Eva was my ggrandmother. While I'm "in" those records, I'll also see whether I can find the marriage of Charley SHOULTS and Matilda Shoults/Prewett in 1892, which should give Matilda's maiden name. (B) Matilda SHOULTS's obituary says that she was married to Charley SHOULTS in the year of 1892. Maybe Charley SHOULTS was a descendant of your William A. SHOULTS and Amanda Frances SHORT, i.e., maybe the sisters Matilda and Adeline both married decendants of Lavicia EMMONS, one from the Short/Shoults side and one from the WALL side. I am copying the Jefferson county mailing list, since George Mothershead was born in DeSoto of John Mothershead (son of Clifton) and Ann Murrell, and Adelyn Walls is referenced in Matilda Shoults 1948 obituary as living in De Soto. Susan Thomas Susan, I have a Simon Wall marrying a Adeline Prewet on March 29, 1890 in Franklin Co., MO per marriage record F:470. The ceremony was preformed by my great grandfather, J. E. (Julius Eli) Short. Simon Wall was Julius' 1/2 brother. Their common mother was Lavicia Emmons. She first married a Short then a Wall. It is only hearsay but I have Simon & Adeline's children as Sidney, Ida, William Oscar and Vida Wall. Was your great grandmother a Prewet? Julius Short's full sister was Amanda Francis Short. She first married an Arnold then about 1894 next married William A. Shoults. Does this tie to any of your Shoults information? Doug Short
