Going through the 1840 census I found Andrew (40-50) and a Wife (20-30) plus 2 females -5, there are no sons. In 1840 Robert would have been about 8 yrs. old. I also checked marriage records (internet). I noticed a lot of Richardsons in Franklin and Washington Co's. Am I looking at the wrong Andrew? In 1850 Mary is now living in the home of Thomas and Isabella Christopher and has children: Nancy G.-14, Palina -12, Elizabeth -8, William -5 and Andrew -4. I believe this is the Andrew from the 1840 census. I also found Mary Richardson, who married James Cundiff married him on 8mar1846 in Valle Twnp. so either I have the wrong Mary and James or the wrong Andrew. Can anyone tell me if this Mary and James are his mother and step-father? Any help with Robert's history would be appreciated. Thanks, Darlene Art Behrens <abehrens@ix.netcom.com> wrote: What makes you think Andrew who is 4 in 1850 can be the same Andrew who is 40-50 in 1840? Subj: Re: [MOJEFFER] Andrew Richardson/Mary Jenne son Robert Richardson Date: 3/11/2007 1:34:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: stlmojbjohnston@yahoo.com According to Andrew Richardson's probate file, he died before February 5th, 1845. His wife, Mary, was appointed original administrator, but she relinquished that right, and turned over her husband's probate to be administered by Jonathan Smith. According to probate files on Andrew, James Cundiff was appointed guardian of Andrew's children. James and Mary were married approximately 13 months after Andrew's death. Now, I haven't been able to find James Cundiff in the 1850 census, so I'm not sure if he died. If the Mary Richardson living with Thomas and Isabella Christopher in 1850 is Andrew's widow, then I would assume that Mary and Mr. Cundiff got a quick divorce, or he left her. But again, these are assumptions at this point, as facts need to be found on James Cundiff. I tried to find the maiden name of Isabella Christopher to see if she was related to Mary, but have had no luck. Isabella was married previously before marrying Thomas, and I can't find that marriage record. I would assume Isabella originally was married in Illinois. Hope this has been a little help.

It shows he was buried in the M.O. Cemetery in Hematite. Robert Richardson's death cert was witnessed by his son Charles.

Linda, I have a two year subscription to WWV. I have a previous sub to Genealogy Helper; before it became part of WWV. My card showed no charges above the $49 for this sub. I have been very pleased with this sub; and have ordered products from them as well. I had a bit of trouble signing in (a clerical mis.) A quick phone call took care of it. I have found that any ? or concern has always been handled immediately and with courtesy. I really enjoy the site; as it builds daily. I was surprised to read of you're unhappy experience, however, I had a similar one with Ancestry several yrs back. I know how frustrating an incident like this can be. Where does the $144 come from? I recieve their free news letter; this is thei r current offer. WorldVitalRecords.com's current special offer: Buy a two-year subscription for $74.90 and receive a one-year subscription to the Genealogical Helper for FREE will continue until March 5th!

I need to get some input from my fellow genealogists. I would like to know if any of you subscribed to the fairly new databases being put online by World Vital Records. When it was first sent to me they offered a trial time to check it out but I had to register. They offered one month for $12. Then when I registered and finished the check out, I noticed they told me there would be a charge of $144 dollars put on my credit card. That was $12 for one year. I had a rough time getting that off my account. I wrote to them and told them it was false advertising. I reviewed the offer they sent me for the $12 month and no where did it say I had to sign up for one year. I had to threaten them with our attorney General to get them to cancel it. Now they are sending out an offer for a two year unlimited usage membership and a downloadable copy of Genealogist helper for $48.00. I would like feedback from anyone that has dealt with them.

LICENSED TO WED - Charles W. CADWALLADER and Annie CHAPPLE, J.H. O'BRIEN and Lena ELKINS, Moses S. LEDER and Ellen BATES, William SCOTT and Angeline McGREADY. The last two couples are of the blackberry-blonde persuasion. Invitations are out to the wedding of Mr. J.W. EVANS and Miss Kora THOMAS, daughter of Judge THOMAS, which is to take place on the 4th prox. Mr. EVANS is a son of the late Dr. EVANS of De Soto. He is an engineer on the Wabash railroad with headquarters at Moberly, Mo. We presume the wedding will be a brilliant affair. Mr. George EDINGER is now located at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, which is said to be the most wonderful group of hot springs in the world. The place is now on a boom, and George got there in time to grow up with the city. We wish him abundant success. He has made arrangements for the weekly visits of the J.D. up to April 1, 1889. How is that for high? John MITZAZEK, a Pole, who was working for Mr. ORLEANS of the Hematite quarry, got hurt some time since by the fall of a derrick, while assisting in loading a big stone. He died of his injuries last Friday. He leaves a wife and eight children - all girls. He was a blacksmith and had the reputation of being a first-class mechanic, and a good man besides. His family are not left with much of this world's goods, and the tragedy is a very sad occurrence for several reasons. DE SOTO- Tom DECKER was married, in St. Louis last Thursday, to a Miss DAVIS. J.A. BUCHER, formerly of HIllsboro but now of Poplar Bluff, was in our city the early part of this week, with his bride, a Miss Mary GOFF of Piedmont. They were married last Sunday.

He left his children, his wife being dead, near Van Buren, in Crawford county, Arkansas, in 1862. Shortly after the war closed he went to the West Indies, where he was made a prisoner on charge of treasonable intentions against the government, and was kept in confinement until recently. On being liberated he returned to the United States and determined on an effort to find his children. He went to Crawford county, but nobody there knew anything of them. He heard there that a family of his name lived in Independence county, and accordingly he went there. He spent one night with the family of a Mr. Smith GARRET, but they could trace out no connecting link. While in that county he learned that there was a family of GARRETs in Conway county, and left for that county the next day. On reaching Morrilton, Conway county, Mr. GARRETT learned that one of his sons was a farmer living ten miles in the country, and on repairing to the designated place found one of long-searched for children with a family growing up around him. One of his daughters died in Crawford county a number of years ago, as did also a son, John by name. But two of his sons and three daughters are still living - a son and daughter in Conway county. His other son resides in Carrol county, and the two remaining daughters have married and are living in Missouri. </HTML>

Mrs. Frank BRICKEY of Richwoods, who was prostrated with paralysis about one year ago, died last Friday and was buried in the De Soto cemetery on Saturday. The announcement, which appeared in the Democrat and Watchman last week, in regard to the marriage of Prof. LUCKEY, seems to have been a little premature, as his wedding was not solemnized until the evening of the 8th inst. The wife of Dr. SUDDICK, who has been a consumptive for several years, and who came to this city with her husband last summer, died last Wednesday afternoon, and was buried Thursday at 2 p.m., from the Congregational church, Rev.

HARRIS, in the master mechanic's office of the railroad shops, for several years past, took his departure for Evansville, Indiana, last Wednesday, where he has accepted a position with an uncle. Johnny was a favorite among all his acquaintances, and his society will be a loss to the young people of DeSoto. Kimmswick is about to experience something of a boom. The firm of C. WUERZ took up stock and closed doors last Friday. Mr. WUERZ will remove the goods to his hardware store, and keep a general stock of goods at that stand. A sign has been put up on Mr. BOWMAN's store, informing the people that on or about the third day of November next Mr. BRINNEMAN, of St. Louis, will open up ageneral store, with P. BOWMAN as manager. This, you see, makes an additional store, which constitutes a boom. Kimmswick, October 12, 1885. John THEOBOLD's NEW BAKERY, De Soto, Mo., Is the place where to buy cheap Bread, Cakes and Pies. M.

After giving the bride and hearty congratulations and partaking of an extra-well prepared supper, we went to the depot to see the happy couple off on the train, which they took to St. Louis, and all wished them a safe trip home, as well as a long and happy journey down the stream of live. W.P. John W. CLOVER and Mrs. Laura WISE were married on the 11th inst., 'Squire DUNIGAN officiating.

MILLER's, where they procured some splendid wine and had a jubilee. DE SOTO - Mr. and Mrs. S. AuBUCHON have furnished rooms over Mr. AuB's store and are keeping house.

May the happy couple live a long and prosperous life. </HTML>

Charley BOOTH left last Monday for St. Louis, to attend the law school of that place. We learn that Wm. BRACKMAN, Esq. has started a walking cane factory at High Ridge. J.G. RAPP, a former citizen of this county, was here last Monday on business. He now lives at Malden, Mo. The funeral sermon of Mrs. Ella WICKERHAM will be preached, by Rev. William HENDRICKSON, at Mt. Carmel church, on the third Sunday in this month, at 11 o'clock a.m. Osman McMULLIN, our youngest brother, has come back to spend the Winter with his friends in Jefferson County. During the past year he has taken in portions of the states of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Illinois. John G. MORSE, eldest son of Hon. John H. MORSE, was married on the 23rd ult., to Miss Sallie TUTTLE of Columbia, Mo. From all accounts John has made a good capture, and is receiving the congratulations of all his friends. He and his wife will settle down to housekeeping on the Vineland dairy farm. Miss Emma DONNELL has gone to st. Louis to attend the Conservatory of Music this Winter. she has an uncommonly good voice, and considerable talent for instrumental music, and we are glad that she is given opportunities for cultaving her musical powers. John WEAVER has removed to his farm on Plattin, and Collector MOSS will move into the house vacated by the ex-Sheriff. We learn that Mr. WEAVER's daughter, Della, has been afflicted with a raising on one of her legs, which is so serious that it is feared she will be unable to walk for months to come. We learn that Bob VOLLMAR of Horine, severely cut himself in the leg, last week, with a corn knife. We hope that he will be up and about ere long. While lying in his lonely home, no doubt his conscience will upbraid him for not having taken a partner "to love, respect and obey him in sickness and in health" as we have frequently advised him to do. A frightful accident occurred last Friday at the new Catholic convent, now in course of erection in Meramec township, this county. Seven workmen were on a scaffold 23 feet high, when it fell without any warning, and four of them went down through the hoists. As the scaffold fell Messrs. GIFFORD, SCHAEFFER and another caught hold of the rafters and thus saved themselves. Lester HENRY had one leg mashed, from the knee down, and one rib broken, and it is feared that he is crippled for life. Michael DALY had both ankles broken and a fracture on one bone of the left leg. Pat LYNCH and another man were considerably bruised, but their hurts were not serious. Dr. HARBISON was called in and did all that could be done to alleviate the sufferings of the men. LICENSED TO WED - Orlando HOLLAND and Laura H. BURGESS, Leopold BEERESHEIM and Louisa LORENZ, Hubert HINCK and Frances POEPPER, Michael MERGET and Rosa RIEBER, John W. CLOVES and Laura WISE, Kemp FINNEY and Sarah C. HAVERSTICK, James H. WINER and Annie A. BURGESS, Robert GUYand Ellen DONNELL. The last couple belong to the lineal descendants of Ham.

OBITUARY - DIED - September 26, 1885, near De Soto, of consumption, Leota F., daughter of L.C. and the late Eliza Ann HALE, aged 17 years. The illness of Leota continued several months and sometimes was very painful; but was endured with a calmness and fortitude . In her good natured innocence she could not imagine why she should be afflicted with pain, when she had always willingly performed all her duties as she understood them. Until nearly the last day of her life she lingered in hope that her physicians would restore her health. She had practiced the duties of her life cheerfully, according to what she considered a system of morality, governed by the knowledge of doing right instead of doing wrong, which, in her pure-hearted innocence, she imagined she had done all that was necessary, until she went to sleep without pain, with a smile on her countenance, like an innocent child. So according to the preaching of Christ, our Divine Mediator, who informs us in His wonderful sermon on the mount, that that pure in heart are blessed, we are hopeful that our Almighty Father will receive her in heaven as one of His own. Her remains were interred in the family graveyard near Moontown. The services were conducted by Mr. Riehard KITE, in the presence of a large audience, most of whom had been intimate friends of the departed. Miss Rosa REIBER was married Thursday evening. Have not learned the happy man's name. George FLINT and C.H.R. HANDCOCK, are expected home, from England, this week, probably before this is in print. </HTML>

She is a sister of D.S. SMITH. Messrs.W.H.H. THOMAS and Willie CLARK will open the skating rink, to-night, at HURCK's Hall. Mrs. BELCHER, formerly a resident of this county but now of Moberly, Mo., was visiting at Mrs. Jas. T. MOSS', last week. Francis Edward - aged twelve years, to months and twenty-six days - son of Geo. and Mary NEAL, died at Moontown, on the 17th ult., of typhoid fever. LICENSED TO WED - Millard F. HERRINGTON and Mary E. BAKER, Marshall E. McMULLIN and Minnie REICHARD, William CRANE and Victoria BEQUETTE, Frank J. HENZLER and Mollie DUELING(?), Stephen L. AUBUCHON and Georgia A. COLE. We learn, through St. Louis papers, that Cornelius MARSDEN has been appointed postmaster at Victoria. this is the first change that has been made of officials in this county, by the new administration, and secured through the influence of Mr. CLARDY. Last Wednesday, at CLARK's Hotel, Mr. Marshall E. McMULLIN, and Miss Minnie REICHARD were united in marriage by Rev. S.W. EMORY. Marshall could have had a relative at his wedding if he had formed us of what was going on, but he was married and away before we knew it. We wish them well, all the same. The following births were filed with the County Clerk the past week: Date Name of Mother Sex September 25 Mrs. Patrick J. WALSH boy September 22 Mrs. C.W. FLETCHER girl September 26 Mrs. Charles WARNER boy September 28 Mrs. Gustave SAPPER boy September 13 Mrs. H.G. SAVIOE(?) boy September 3 Mrs. Henry GANNE girl September 9 Mrs. Charles BUCHER girl September 5 Mrs. Tim McGANY girl September 6 Mrs. Anton MILLER girl September 22 Mrs. John HUBERT boy September 20 Mrs. T.W. GUY girl September 2 Mrs. Otto SPITZ girl J.B. FREDERITZIE was granted license to run a ferry across the Meramec river at Lemay Ferry. Demands were allowed against the county, as follows: Henry HURTGEN, feebill in case of Susan HALL versus county 76.85 John WILLIAMS, county judge 6.00 Henry SECKMANN, county judge 10.00 R.G. MADISON, county judge 10.00 Ed RASCH, for lumber, etc 6.75 F. GRIMM, for lumber 19.40 Henry STELBRINK, taking grand jury to County farm 4.00 MARRIED - CRANE - BEQUETTE - October 1, 1885, at CLARK's Hotel in Hillsboro, Mr. William CRANE and Miss Victoria BEQUETTE, Esq. SHEIBLE officiating. The contracting parties are both from Crystal City and have a host of friends. We extend to them our congratulations. HERRINGTON - BAKER - September 29th, 1885, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. Millard F. HERRINGTON and Miss Mary E. BAKER, daughter of John W. BAKER, Judge ELKINS officiating. Several friends were present to witness the nuptials of this worthy couple, and as the hours passed by until nearly 2p.m. without any wedding, they naturally grew restive and impatient; but "all's well that ends well." and the groom and Judge finally got there and the ceremony was concluded to the satisfaction of all. Millard will probably advise other young men, when preparing for such occasions, to give the tailor more time and not depend on getting the wedding suit the last day in the evening; however, we understand, he was willing to stand up on his old clothes rather than submit to a postponement. The Judge also learned a lesson from his dark ride through the rain and mud, and will start earlier next time his services are wanted on such an occasion. We congratulate Mr. and Mrs. HERRINGTON and wish them a long and happy life together. KIMMSWICK - Mr. DICKS and family moved to Carondelet, last Thursday; M.W. CLARK and family to Webster, and Mrs. Clem CROW and family to parts unknown. Miss Lena ZOGG, formerly of Kimmswick, was married several weeks ago, and now lives in St. Louis. Our friend, Stephen JACOBS, the village blacksmith, with fiery mane and flowing eyebrow, not long ago paid his brother in De Soto a visit. Mr. JACOB's brother is a flourishing hardware merchant in De Soto, and Stephen reports that the article of merchandise cooler and more refreshing there than he found it elsewhere. J.M. BRACEY, the urbane clerk at HOHENTHAL's has gone to Memphis for a bride, and will probably be here with her next week to reside permanently. It is also expected that Mr. AuBUCHON will be married this week, though he will not go so far from home to get her. Professor LUCKEY and John H. MORSE, Jr., have already secured partners, and it is rumored that there will be a grand reception by the four couple and their friends, at the Opera House in this city, as soon as they all return. WEDNESDAY, 14 OCTOBER 1885 On the 3rd inst., Col. W.H. McCOWAN, a prominent lawyer and politician of Piedmont, was shot and killed by Thomas E. FLYNN, a telegraph operator. McCOWAN was intoxicated and, when in that condition, he was very overbearing. The Coroner's jury brought in a verdict stating that FLYNN did the killing in self- defence. </HTML>

Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's "Pearls" are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri WEDNESDAY, 30 SEPTEMBER 1885 J.B. COFFIN of Swifton, Ark., visited Hillsboro, last Wednesday, called on the J.D. and made arrangements for its weekly visits to him till January, 1886. He seems well satisfied with his present home and business. Young Dick MARSDEN accompanied Mr. COFFIN, and will clerk in his store. [Since the foregoing was put in type, Dicky has cleansed his shoes of Arkansaw loam and returned to the parently roof. The cause is not known to us, but we shouldn't be surprised if there is some "calico" at the bottom of it.] The DeSoto gun club had a picnic at Hillsboro, last Wednesday, and from the way they enjoyed themselves, we are of the opinion that it was about the best one they have had for a year. Of the members present we noticed their president Otto HERMANN, with his champion badge, and Messrs. Benson OGLE, E.C. RANKIN, A. RACINE, E. BECKMAN, Ab. STRICKLAND, Henry LEDERER, Dr. ZORN, H. MEYER, Mr. KEATON, Mr. JACCARD, and KLAUSMANN's giant, together with several others. They showed their hospitality by inviting every one to take a share of the refreshments set up. While here they contributed about sixty dollars, which were divided up between the Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff, Circuit Clerk and county school fund. A very distressing affair occurred on Monday, the 21st inst., about one mile from Fenton, and near the county line. Mr. Richard ANDERSON had gone from home on business, and Mrs. A., desiring togather some cucumbers for pickling shut her two little children - one a year and a half old and the other nearly four years of age - in the bed room, upstairs, went out in the field. After a while an alarm of fire was heard, and neighbors rushed to the scene. Mrs. ANDERSON arrived at her house in time to meet a sight that nearly crazed her. The house was in flames and the upper floor falling in, and with the remains of her two little children. Nothing was saved from the building but a small quantity of wheat which was stowed away in a lower room. The fire having originated upstairs, it is supposed that the children had got hold of some matches and caused the conflagration, which cost their lives and the destruction of house and contents. COUNTY COURT - County court met last Monday and spent the day investigating plans for iron bridges. The commissioner had been instructed to get plans and estimates for iron bridges, to replace the Lemay Ferry and Herculaneum bridges, and he succeeded pretty well, as he had bridgemen present from five States. there were Messrs. R.W. CURTIS of Keekuk, Iowa; J.H. HOOVER of Kansas City, Mo.; H.W. SEBASTIAN of St. Louis, Mo.; H.L. COOPER of Rochester, Minn.; C. STEARNS of Leavenworth, Kansas, and J.C. CHACE of Milwaukee, Wisc., each representing a different bridge company, and each having with him a plan for a bridge. The court finally adopted the plan submitted by Mr. SEBASTIAN, of the St. Louis Bridge and Iron Works, it being the same plan as the Fenton bridge. Louisa ZIEGLER vs. Louis ZIEGLER; alimony allowed in sum of fifty dollars. D.C. HAMILTON vs. Belle HAMILTON; $60 alimony allowed defendant.

Mr. TAYLOR, the famous damage lawyer of St. Louis, represented plaintiff, while Judge PIKE and Mr. BENTON looked after the interests of the railroad company. A young business man of this place, by some means, got his little finger fastened between Bro. CRAIG's teeth, and lost some blood by the mistake.

LUCKEY and Rebecca A. PATTON, Hugh H. MAGUIRE and Anna MAGUIRE, Charles ROUSSIN and Jane SCOTT, colored, August GEAR and Louisa BAKER. Harry CANTWELT of Charleston, Mo., was here last week on business. Harry, when a boy, lived several years in DeSoto, and used to be our regular reporter at that place, and he as a good one. He looks like the world is using him well. Franklin P. BROWN, real estate agent from De Soto is in trouble. He is under arrest charged with grand larceny, and being unable to furnish bail in the sum of three hundred dollars, has been placed in jail to await preliminary examination, which is to take place before Esq. SHEIBLE next Saturday week. He is charged with appropriating $80, sent to liquidate a note die a DeSoto bank. It appears to be a serious case, but the evidence may make it look differently. Last Thursday, Thomas, 16 year-old son of Judge KIRK of Maxville, while assisting in moving a steam thresher, attempted to oil a journal as the engine moved along, when a limb of a tree struck and knocked him down, and both wheels of the steamer passed over his legs. The steamer weighs about 9,000, and those who saw it expected the boy's legs to be mashed to a pulp; but, strange to say, only one bone was broken, above the knee. The fractured limb was set promptly, and it is expected Tommy will be able to walk again in a few weeks. </HTML>

Messrs. LORENZ and LEATHERS, both of Farmington, were visiting friends in town recently. Frank MITCHELL, formerly of Victoria and later of De Soto, has returned from New Mexico and will make this his future home. Robert McCREERY, a former resident of De Soto, but now a citizen of California, is spending a few days in town. He will return to his home in a short time. James WELSH of Ironton was in town, Wednesday, looking after the interests of the Singer Sewing Machine Co. He has had charge of the Ironton branch for several years, and is an earnest and energetic worker. Frank MESSEY and Miss Carrie BROWNELL, both of De Soto, were united in marriage by Father O'LEARY, last Tuesday afternoon, at the Catholic Church. Although but a few attended the wedding, it being a quiet one, all wish the happy pair never ending happiness. (As a parenthetical remark it will be well to state, that marriages are in order). On Wednesday evening, Mr. Jake SAPPER and Miss Lena WILSON, both of De Soto, were united in marriage at the Congregational church, by Dr. JOHNSON, Messrs. George FETTE and Ward CUNNINGHAM were groomsmen, and many friends witnessed the ceremony. The young couple have the congratulations of all who know them. Their future home will be in De Soto. September 19, 1885. MAXVILLE NOTES - Several improvements are going on in Maxville at present. H. KOHR, our wagon-maker has built himself a large shop. From appearances he must expect a good amount of business. Joe ZIPP, our energetic hotel-keeper, though complaining of the high license, has commenced building a fine new saloon and is fixing up his stand in grand style. Our fat merchant, Mr. BECKER, has built an addition to his store, making more room, and he has stocked with a fine line of goods and expects a rushing business, even if the people are complaining of hard times. Henry UNSER, our stone-mason, has about finished a new dwelling. These improvements give our place a neat and business-like appearance.... The case of Willie DEARING vs. R.D. HICKS, for slander, was tried before Esq. GOFF, at De Soto, last Saturday, resulting in a fine of ten dollars against defendant. LICENSED TO WED - William A. DEER and Mary GEBHARDT, F.M. MEESEY and Carrie A. BROWNELL, Jacob N. SAPPER and Lena WILSON, Henry SCHMIDT and Mary WETTE. Louis PARTNEY, Jr., living near this place, lost one of his children, this week. It was but a few months old. A 7-weeks-old child of Thomas ARMSTRONG and wife was buried in the Hillsboro cemetery, last MOnday. This is their fourth and last child laid away in the silent ground, and their loss is deeply felt. Joseph HICKS and his little daughter of West Point, Miss., arrived on MOnday morning on a visit to relatives and friends in this county. Mr. HICKS was a school mate of ye editor, and has been absent from the county about 24 years. Mrs. ALFORD was taken home, last Friday. The Doctor pronounced her cured of the disease, but owing to her age she does not gain strength fast. She was placed on a bed in a spring wagon and taken home by Mr. CHARLES. Robert McCREERY and family arrived from California, last week. Robert and wife are both natives of this county, and moved to California about two years ago, but have come back to Jefferson county to stay. They will locate in De Soto. Chris. VOGT, who had a hand sawed off in his mill, some time ago, was in town recently. The amputation, performed by Drs. McNUTT and SPALDING, was a success, and is pronounced by all medical men who have seen it, as one of the neatest and best piece of surgery ever performed in this county. Drs. SPALDING and McNUTT have added laurels to their professional skill by this operation. The will of Willard FRISSELL, deceased, has been presented for probate. The will was written by the old gentleman himself and witnessed by A.F. SLAWSON and Wm. L. IRWIN. He gives $200 to his friend, W.R. DONNELL, whom he appoints executor, and directs that after his funeral expenses and debts are paid, his wife shall have everything during her life. At her death, what is left, is to be equally divided between his five children. Billie DEER has put a quietus upon his journeys to St. Louis, by bringing the magnet that drew him there down home, and on Tuesday evening, September, 15, 1885, he sent a buggy after Esq. SHEIBLE, who pronounced Mr. William A. DEER and Miss Mary GEBHARDT man and wife. We congratulate Mr. DEER and his amiable bride upon their new relations in life, and hope they may always have a good "Bill" with which to defray the expenses of all the DEER that may bless their fireside. The queerest case of suicide we have ever been called upon to chronicle occurred at Antonia, last MOnday night. At about 10p.m., Mr. ZIMPFER and three others were sitting in the saloon, when they heard an unusual explosion in the direction of the shoemaker shop, occupied by Sam HOFER, and on going to ascertain the cause, they saw the window lights shattered and in the room lay the lifeless remains of HOFER. 'Squire BERGMEYER was called in and summoned a jury, and held an inquest. The jury decided, from all they could learn, that the deceased had killed himself in the following manner: He took an old musket barrel - without lock, stock or tube - and charged it with powder and water, and touched it off with a match. The but-end of the barrel was stuck in a crack in the floor, and the rebound drove it in with such a force that it was difficult to pull it out. His head was literally blown off and into fragments, only a portion of the left ear adhearing to the body. HOFER was a Swiss, about 30 years of age, unmarried, and has no relations in this county known of. He had been working at his trade in Antonia two or three years, was well educated, and of a very lively and jovial turn. No cause is known for the suicide, as he left nothing to explain the matter. </HTML>

Charlotte Maness. ------------------------- Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's "Pearls" are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri Part II WEDNESDAY, 9 SEPTEMBER 1885 On the 28th ult., Robert STEWART died, aged 88 years. "Uncle Bob" as he was generally called, was one of the old pioneers of this country. He was here long before the county was organized and before the State was admitted into the Union, and was here at the time that Adam HOUSE was killed by the Indians. He has two sons living who are old, grey-headed men. "UncleBob's" occupation through life had been principally farming. His main motto in life was to be just and honest in all of his dealings with his fellow man. W.D. House's Springs, Sept. 4, 1884. ( The date of the last item, Sept. 4, 1884, is here as it was printed in the paper, and NOT my typo.) We are very sorry to mourn the loss of one of our most estimable citizens, Mr. SCHWEICKHARD, who died Thursday noon, aged 75 years. Dr. HARBISON attended him and pronounces the cause of death old age. WEDNESDAY, 16 SEPTEMBER 1885 Date Name Age August 20 Wm. HEILIGTAG 33 years Augus t7 Louis SCHNEIDER 22 years BIRTHS Date Name of mother Sex August 19 Mrs. Edmund SALE boy August 20 Mrs. James HARNESS boy August 12 Mrs. Joseph LORENZ girl Augus t9 Mrs. H. JACKSON girl August 8 Mrs. John MORAN boy August 21 Mrs. A.S.

VANDERERSYSEN girl LICENSED to WED - Wm. F. DITTMER and Emelie RIEMANN, Joseph CHOTT and Anna KREASEL. Ples. EAVES' 7-year-old son was kicked by a colt, last week, and had his nose broken and one ear nearly cut off. The boy is doing as well as could be expected says Dr. MOCKBEE. The rain last Sunday interfered with various church appointments. The funeral sermon by Rev. HEADLEE, in memory of Mrs. POSTON, was postponed to second Sunday in next month. The family of John KERN, of near Crystal City - consisting of himself, wife and five children - all took sick in one day, and after vomiting freely all recovered. They had purchased some rhubarb in tin cans, and had eaten pies made of it and were poisoned. Their escape was lucky, and it should prove a warning to others to avoid such acids put up in tin. A friend of High Ridge writes us that there is a boy out there, about 10 years of age, who gives his name as Joe STEVENS, who is a great annoyance to the neighborhood. He came near F. BROUK's house one evening recently and had three attacks similar to fits, and made such noise that it frightened Mr. BROUK's whole family. Our correspondent further states that the boy's gums are not like those of other persons, but greatly resemble those of an animal, and believes the boy should be taken charge of by the county. THE FAIR - Six members of the new Board of Directors of the Jefferson county Agricultural and Mechanical Association met, at De Soto, last Saturday, and organized by electing officers. The board consists of the following: Gust. HAMEL, president; John L. THOMAS, vice-president; H.N. JENKINS, treasurer; William F. EDINGER, secretary; directors - F.C. SMITH, John L. WEAVER, W.J. WILLIAMS, A. RACINE, James HOPSON, J.N. DOUGLAS and A.L. FRECH. Report of inquest by Coroner MOCBKEE, over body of J.P. STEWART, was approved and feebill of $25.24 allowed. Accounts against the county were allowed as follows: J.L. THOMAS & Bro., bridge lumber $19.60 John HOWALD, damages by road 90.00 Frank STOW, bridges and culverts 88.00 Otto RAUSCHENBACH, bridge lumber 8.24 C.F. LEE, repairing Hematite road 100.00 J.

MADISON, county judge 10.00 Henry SECKMANN, county judge 10.00 John SHELTON, washing jail blankets 5.00 Court adjourned to September 28th. Jack LEFFER and Dick MAYFIELD had an altercation, near Cedar Hill, Wednesday of last week, in which MAYFIELD struck LEFFER on the head with a gun, inflicting a considerable injury. LEFFER was shortly afterwards found, lying in the road in an insensible condition, and conveyed to Mr. BUXTON's at Cedar Hill. He was in a critical condition for several days. Rev. George STEEL recently received a letter from William KOTZENBURG, who has been a resident of this county for more than fifteen hears but is now in his native land, Germany, in which William says that everything seems so strange to him, that he feels lonely and that the climate does not agree with him. He will return to his adopted country at an early date. </HTML>

Henry HURTGEN, Sheriff. Hillsboro, Mo. August 26, 1885. A fine boy was added to the family of Recorder HONEY, last Wednesday night. Charles Carroll being No. 9 in regular succession, arrived and was added to the family of F.H. WILLIAMS, last Friday night. Rev.J.H. HEADLEE will preach the funeral of Mrs. Felix POSTON, at Lebanon, on the second Sunday in September, at 11 a.m. He will preach at Rush Tower, at 4 p.m. the same day. Antonia's young blacksmith, Louis WESTERECK, was presented by his wife, on the morning of the 2nd inst., with a boy weigh one 9 1/4 and a girl of 6 1/2 pounds. The latter only lived a short time. T.A. FORMAN of Fulton, Mo., the portly gentleman who was here with Mr. NEVIELLE, selling the celebrated stump puller, died suddenly at Edina, Mo., recently. He had made many friends during his short stay here. At the 4th Quarterly meeting of the Plattin and De Soto circuit, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Stewards, - Hematite, E.F. DONNELL; Pevely, Wm. MOCKBEE; Hillsboro, W.R.

SMITH; Plattin, Marian McCORMACK; Rush Tower, Wm. BELL; Sunny Side, C.W. HERBERT. Trustee of Pevely church - Edward THOMPSON. On Monday morning, C.C. GORHAM and W.A. WHITE left for California, expecting to make that State their future home. D.B. VEAZEY, who has been traveling for Gust. HAMEL, introducing the Economy school desks, returned home a short time ago. On Thursday he attended the wedding of W.B. JEWETT and Miss Elizabeth STEIN of Crystal City. All report a happy time, and the young people will make their future home near Crystal City. On Saturday morning, at 9:20, Willard FRISSELL died at his home in De Soto. Mr. FRISSELL was born at Peru, Berkshire Co., Mass., in 1804, and about 50 years ago he came to Jefferson county, Mo., settling on Big River. In his early life he taught school, but later he retired from that profession and commenced farming, having purchased a fine tract of land in the Big River bottoms. In 1827, he married Miss Ann Maria AUSTIN of this county, and of this union there were nine children, of whom five are still living. With the assistance of his family he opened a farm, which he sold in 1872, and then removed to De Soto, where he purchased property and spent the remainder of his life. Besides his five children, Mr. F. leaves a wife to mourn his departure. He was one of our most useful citizens, being generous, industrious and kind. Although a little eccentric, he was universally liked, and was ever ready to assist those who were worthy. There are many friends who remember these acts of kindness on the part of Mr. F. In 1873 he united with the Presbyterian church, under the ministration of Rev. J.R. ARMSTRONG. On account of dull hearing he was not an habitual church-goer, but he ever lead a consistent Christian life, dying in hopes of a glorious immorality. He was as consistent in his physical as in his spiritual life, and his death at the age of 81 years, was simply the wearing out of the life machine - the stopping of the wheels. Those who stood around his bedside never witnessed a more calm separation of the spirit and body. Not in pain, not in anguish of the soul, but in peace and quiet the released spirit took its flight. At a green old age he left the busy scene of this life. The remains were laid away in the De Soto cemetery, Sunday afternoon, many sympathizing friends attending the BURIAL. The widow and family have the sincere sympathy of all. </HTML>
