Jolie- I think I found Isabelle in the 1880 federal census. She seems to be living with her mother and 3 younger siblings in the home of her mother's parents. : From the 1880 Federal Census of Jefferson County, Missouri, Central Township, household # 234, taken June 14, 1850: Ogle, Thomas; male, age- 52, head of household, married, farmer, born- MO, parents born- TN -- Elizabeth; female, age- 53, wife, married, keeping house, born- MO, parents born- TN -- Phineas; male, age- 21, son, working on farm, in school, born- MO, parents born- MO -- William; male, age- 15, son, working on farm, in school, born- MO, parents born- MO -- Laura; female, age- 10, daughter, at home, born- MO, parents born- MO Davis, Emiline; female, age- 29, daughter, at home, born- MO, parents born- MO -- Isabell; female, age- 6, granddaughter, in school, born- MO, parents born- MO -- Amanda; female, age- 3, granddaughter, born- MO, parents born- MO -- Thomas; male, age- 10/12, grandson, (born August), born- Mo, parents born- MO Rudder, Eddie; male, age- 5, grandson, born- MO, parents born- MO -- Arthur; male, age- 2, grandson, born- MO, parents born- MO The marital status of Emiline is not indicated, but apparently she was married because she change her name. Her husband and the father of Isabelle does not seem to be there. I found this Ogle family on the 1870 census, but there is no Emiline listed. There is a 19 year old daughter named Sarah, who probably is Emiline. I looked at all the Davis' in the 1870 census, but couldn't find a 19 year old named Emiline. I'm running out of time this morning, but I will transcribe the 1870 Olge family later if you are interested. I found Thomas on the 1880 census. He seems to be the adopted son of a George and Mary Dodson. I looked for him in the 1870 census, and there is a 2 year old and a 3 year old Thomas Eoff. I can also send those later also. I'm off to work, but will look at it again tonight.

The transcriptions that DeSoto Joe is posting should be preserved for access at any time. Isn't there some way this could be put on the Jefferson County website? Thanks to Joe for all this work and for sharing, and hopefully it can be made available on a permanent basis. -Jo Sweeney

Jo - As soon as I can get back to work on the cemetery listings, I will incorporate all of Joe and Dave Hallemann's postings regarding the cemeteries into the DeSoto Public Library's pages. I have kept all their postings in a separate folder on my hard drive.

If it's possible, I would greatly appreciate if someone could do a census look up for Isabelle Davis Eoff (birth/death dates and children listed below).

I sent for my great uncle's records from Jefferson City. All they told me was where he enlisted & mustered out. Can somebody tell me where I would write to get the full record to see if he asked for a pension or if he moved into a home for veterans. Thank you for any help or information you can give me.

Edna, Lucianna was head of household, from Big River Township, with 1111 males and 0010001 females   in the 830  Jefferson County, MO. Census.       Now my question,  Who is Lucianna Gamble?  I am related to Justus Gamble 1814-1849, married to Matilda Wideman d/o Francis Wideman, in 1834.  Are they from the same family?

Just want to thank everyone again for the German translation. Below is a newspaper article on the murders. It illustrates a good point, on unusual transcriptions look into the newspapers for follow-up. Hope you guys enjoy and thanks again! "Wednesday 30 January 1884. The AXE - A husband and wife murdered through its agency. The most horrible murder every chronicled in the history of Jefferson County occurred on Monday night of last week, some three miles north of High Ridge, on the Morse's Mill and St. Louis gravel road. About six weeks ago Louis Bonacker, a hard-working, honest young German, who was reared in this county was united in marriage to Josephine Glatt, daughter of Conrad Glatt who lives near Maxville. Having previously rented a farm between High Ridge and Fenton, he took his young wife to it, where to begin life in earnest, and by hard work accumulate something for a "rainy day." They lived happily together as none but those enjoying a blissful honeymoon can, until that fatal Monday. Not many hundred yards from Bonacker's house is a country store, which is run by a lady named Horan. Mrs. Horan and those residing with her, noticed that no smoke ascended from the Bonacker's residence on Tuesday, and not seeing any of them during the day, they concluded that the young couple were visiting relatives, and made no further investigation. The following morning it was the same. Louis Helderbran passed the house in the morning, on his way to Fenton and saw that the door was open, and no smoke coming from the chimney. On returning from Fenton he noticed what he had seen in the morning, and thinking this rather strange, he got off his horse and made an investigation. Peering through the door he saw Mrs. Bonacker lying upon the floor, attired only in a chemise and short skirt. On the bed in another room lay her husband, with his head nearly severed from the body. Helderbran made no further investigation but immediately gave the alarm, and people flocked to the scene of horror from Fenton, High Ridge and elsewhere. From what we have heard and read about the matter, we have come to this conclusion: namely, that someone staid all night at Bonacker's and when the host and hostess were sound asleep, the person got up, went into the sleeping room, armed with an axe, and dealt Mr. Bonacker a blow that killed him. This awakened the wife, who ran out of the house, closely pursued by the fiend, overtaken in the road, and, after a hard struggle, she too was killed; after which she was dragged into the house again and left lying on the floor. This conclusion is arrived through the fact that some blankets and pillows were fixed near the stove in the kitchen, which formed as comfortable a pallet as they could, under their present circumstances, give a friend or stranger who chanced to stay all night with them. it could be seen where he had dragged the woman over the ground, as she had several cuts and bruises upon her body. it is evident that he struck her several times before succeeding in killing her. What the motive that prompted this awful deed might have been, is yet a mystery. That it could have been for robbery is hardly probable, as anybody might have known that the young couple did not have much to be valuable, and there was nothing taken save a short (word missing ?)and an overcoat. That it was old discarded lover of the ill-fated woman--a theory advanced by many, we do not credit, for such an one would hardly have been granted the privilege of staying all night. It is one of those mysteries, probably that will never be solved, unless the guilty man may be caught and made (to) confess. No definite clew has yet been found. However, it is the general belief that a young man, who came through Fenton on the evening before the murder, going toward High Ridge, and who stopped at several farm-houses before reaching Bonackers, and asked for a night's lodging, committed the deed. he was not seen at High Ridge, neither did any one see him at Bonacker's; but as it must have been dark when he arrived there it is not surprising that he was not seen to enter. The following morning, before sun-up, the same individual was seen on a less public thoroughfare, going toward St. Louis. This looks very suspicious in deed; but as it was fully 36 hours later before the horrible discovery was made, he had plenty of time to lay a thousand miles between himself and the scene of the tragedy, if he so desired. The young man above referred to had a small hand-satchel in his possession, which seen before the murder, which was subsequently found by some boys, in a hollow tree near Bonacker's, which leaves no doubt as to his guilt. Some four or five arrests have been in in as many different states, but all proved to be the wrong man. An inquest was held and the substance of the verdict was that they came to the death from cuts of an axe in the hands of an unknown party. they were both buried on Friday in the private cemetery of Squire Wm. Bonacker, and a large concourse of people attended. The relatives of the murdered couple, who are quite numerous in this county and are numbered among our best citizens, have the sympathy of the entire community, and we hope they will bear their afflictions as it behooves good Christians."

I am looking for any information on William Mockbee who married Mary Fry, 8 Mar 1853 in Jefferson County, MO. She was widowed and had two children; James Adrin and Francis Williams b. 1856 and 1859. The first husband died 25 Nov 1859. I don't know if the second marriage provided further children or not. Also don't know if William Mockbee was previously married. I noticed the Mockbee's in the cemetery near Festus and started checking my files but all I have is William Mockbee w/no dates of any kind except the date of the marriage. Anyone have any info on this family? -- Nancy C. Pittman Valley, AZ Genealogy=Where you confuse the dead and irritate the living!

A great big "thank you", Desoto Joe, for your generosity and tenacious research there in beautiful Jefferson County. It is people like you, that make genealogy such a wonderful hobby. Thank you !! Joan Norton Mullen, Wichita, Kansas

S. army. She is probably the aged female living with her son Joshua HERRINGON in 1840. These two facts would suggest that she perhaps died in 1847, and that if the markers are not original (1817 and 1821) that someone misread a faded 1847 as 1817 when having a new marker made. > > Rick Saunders > Well, that gives me something to go & re-check. The stones are original, but they are encased with a new form of concrete to protect them from wear. The outer concrete is the inscription I took the information from. The inner, original stone was legible, but I just assumed the information on the new inscription was correct. The stones that are encased are three: Bartholomew, Elizabeth, & Sarah. The slanted, worn stone that said Elizabeth, was a different person. Bartholomew was 81 actually when he died, & the numbers substantiate that (1740 - 1821). He was into his 82nd year, which was the way the inscription read, I just did not present it as such. That would mean that Elizabeth was not 90 but 89, for she was into her 90th year. Thanks for pointing this out. These stones have been taken care of extremely well & are the correct size, material & construction for the period. Desoto Joe/The Record Man
