If you are going to the cemetery to read or photograph tombstones,, be sure to take a mirror with you. It will help you read and photograph hard-to-read tombstones. Some people use brushes or chemicals to clean the stones but that can damage the stones and the inscriptions. You should never brush the stones or put chemicals on hard-to-read tombstones. Here's a message I sent to MOLAWREN about the technique last fall. I'll send it again for those of you who might be going to visit cemeteries this spring or for Decoration Day. Sorry I did not think to send it earlier. A suggestion for reading "unreadable" tombstone inscriptions easily and safely, which requires only a mirror and the sun. I use a mirror about 10 in by 12 in, but almost any size will do. Stand in a position so that you can reflect sunlight off the mirror onto inscriptions on the stone. It is easier if the sun is behind the inscription side of the stone or to the side and not shining directly on it. If the sun is already shining on the stone have someone else stand to throw a shadow on the stone, then reflect the sunlight off the mirror onto the stone. This is sometimes tricky and sometimes it is not possible to cover the entire inscription at one time. The amount of the inscription that is "revealed" depends on the size of the mirror and the angle of the sun and mirror and stone. This will bring out the letters and numbers very sharply without having to clean the lichen, moss, etc. It also sharpens the lettering on stones that are quite worn. It also makes them ver! y easy to photograph or video. I used this technique on several old faint and covered stones that are "unreadable" at the Rutledge Cemetery (Grainger County, TN) last October -- some of my Moore, Turley, etc., relatives. I was able to read the stones easily and got some great photos and videos. Ross Cameron

Pat, If you take a copy to the Lawrence County Record newspaper office on Hickory Street in Mount Vernon and ask, I'm sure Kathy Fairchild will print it in the Lawrence County Record and also ask the newspapers' readers to help identify persons in the photograph. Kathy is also 1st Vice President of the Lawrence County Historical Society. Ross Cameron >>> [email protected] 05/19/03 03:29PM >>> I sent a jpg file to everyone who requested one....I think.

I agree that GOODSPEED is a good source for some basic information. But there are errors - it should not be used as a source for the purpose of documentation. My WILSON ancestors are mentioned in this edition, but much of the information is incorrect.

Goodspeed has a lot of interesting information on Lawrence County. However, there are numerous errors (names, events, etc.) in the segment pertaining to the Civil War in the county. This book is what historians call a secondary source. Primary sources should be consulted where possible. Dale West Longview, TX

Hello Everyone, I'm not sure I have read all the emails recently, but in case no one has mentioned it in the discussions on Goodspeed's History of the county, I just wanted to remind everyone that Judy put it at the Rootsweb site for Lawrence County here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~molawre2/history.htm Along with the Index to BRIEF HISTORY OF LAWRENCE COUNTY, MISSOURI, 1845-1970. My apologies if this is a "repeat". My best, Janet (Baugh) Hunter in now sunny, but earlier today foggy, Southern California

Hi Jane: It was not a repeat to me and thank you very much for mentioning that the Lawrence cty section is online. Another source that I have had good luck with is to email your desire for a particular book to: [email protected] This site is a general listing of what many booksellers (including individuals) have available that might be of interest to genealogy people. So far, every person I have dealt with who listed anything on this site has been ethical, prompt and pleasant. Since I'm a buyer, not a seller, I mention this site with some trepidation for increasing my competition from other buyers, because it's truly a first answer, first buy place. It's not an auction....

Pat, The book has 1092 pages. The Lawrence County section has 166 pages. In the front is a history of Missouri and sections following of Lawrence, Newton, Barry, and McDonald counties. This book belonged to my great-grandmother, Nettie Wilkerson, wife of John W. Wilkerson. It was in my grandfather, W. G."Billy" Wilkerson's home. The cover is brown leather with gold embossed lettering. The cover is has deteriorated some but the inside pages are legible in good to fair condition. Virginia

There is one called just as you titled this message, "Lawrence County History Book" It has lots of pictures as well as text. The Goodspeeds are probably more generally useful, but don't have pictures. Lots of family histories, etc. Patricia

Pat, I, too, would be interested in a .jpg image of the concert at Baptist Hill, May 29, 1921. As you probably know, postings to MOLAWREN cannot contain attachments. At least I think that rule is still in effect. So you will have to send the photo directly to the individuals that request it. As for the Lawrence County History book "done near 1900," you will have to identify which you are interested in. You have already received some responses about the Lawrence County section of the 1888 Goodspeeds Missouri Illlustrated. The other is the three-volume set: "The Ozark Region, It's History & It's People," Volumes I & II; History of Lawrence County, Missouri: Biographical, Volume III, edited by A. W. Haswell, Springfield, Mo.: Interstate Historical Society, 1917. Volume 1, 353 pages, is a history of the Ozarks and Missouri (225 pages) and a history of Lawrence County. Volume 2, 391 pages, continues the history of Lawrence County and starts the Lawrence County biographical section. Volume 3, 374 pp., is all Lawrence County biographical. My page numbers are numbered pages which does not include photographs which are on unnumbered pages. I have a copy of volume 1 which was given to me when I was in high school. I have photocopies of the other two volumes. I, too, would like to get copies of the original books of volumes 2 and 3. The copyright has expired on these volumes and Higginson books http://www.higginsonbooks.com/ will make a reproduction for you. I have never ordered from them and cannot make any recommendation on whether or not to do so nor on the quality of their reproductions. MO0042 (LAWRENCE CO.)

Hi Pat, Are you looking for "Goodspeed's History of Missouri Illustrated"? The book is copyrighted 1888 and has the histories of Newton, Lawrence, Barry, and McDonald counties. I have a copy. Hope this helps. Virginia Halterman

Virginia, Could be the name, but I think it was only Lawrence County. But, I'd like to have that one too. How many pages are in your book and what does the cover look like? Do you know where I could get one? :-) My daughter inlaw is a nut for old books and will look on ebay for me. She seems to get what she wants there. I'll ask her to try for the one you mentioned.

The book you may be thinking of is "History of Newton, Lawrence, Barry, and McDonald counties, Missouri. From the earliest time to the present" printed by the Goodspeed Publishing Co in 1888. You can buy a copy of the Lawrence county part from the Barry County Genealogical Society for $9.00.

Hi Sharon, I received two message from you recently via the MOLAWREN list which I am pasting in below. If you sent others, I did not receive them. ****first message**** >>> [email protected] 05/10/03 04:23PM >>> Hi all, First of all, I welcome with interest any news regarding the current tornado damage. Living in the Los Angeles area, we naturally do not get many details. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Now I think that I will add my two cents. Many of us on the 'list' agree that the recent tornado is a part of the history of Lawrence Co., and history is a part of our own family history. My hope is that we all are researching as 'family historians' and not as a researcher who interested only in gathering names, dates and places. Our ancestors are certainly more than that, and like us, they have wonderful, and at times, tragic stories to tell. They deserve more than just statistics. The history of their area, and that of the county, state, United States, and evern world all help to shape the families of our ancestors. I would like to share some of the information regarding storms that occurred during our ancestors lives. List members who have read the "Topography and Natural History" section in Goodspeed's History of Lawrence County know of the severe storms in the last quarter of the 19th century that hit this area and how they affected the lives of a number of our families. For those who have not had access to the book I am listing below the storms, a part of our history/genealogy, as listed in Goodspeed's book. I really do apologize for the length of this message. Lawrence County storms: 1 May 1871 - Hailstorm in So. Lawrence and No. Barry counties. " The hail destroyed hogs, sheep and poultry. In one instance a hailstone struck a man on the head knocking him sensless." 2. 26 May 1872 - Great rain drenched for twenty miles in Verona area. "A family of three persons was lost, viz: the keeper of the water-tank at Verona, George Greenloch, wife and daughter." 3. Aug 1875 - Tornado damaged Stone Prairie. 4. 7 Aug 1879 - Lawrenceburg tornado. "...destroyed Dr. John W. Wilkerson's dwelling, while the Masonic Hall was raised off itsfoundation and placed diagonally across"; "This storm of 1871 destroyed Wilkerson's former house." 5. 18 April 1880 - Barry County tornado. "... moved Clay Hill school-house about thirty feet from its foundation, blew away Ezekiel Ellis' barn, destroyed Sam Berry's dwelling and destroyed the houses of Ira Ward, George Hogan, Harrison Wilson, Fayette Adkinson, Hubbard J. Williams, Sr., and J. E. Williams, Jr., all in the neighborhood of Verona. At Aurora twelve houses were blown down, and the Laney Bros.' mill destroyed...." 6. 4 Dec 1880 - Lawrence County tornado. "...destroyed the colored men's church, Joe Hensley's cabin, damaged the Methodist and Baptist Church buildings, destroyed Dock Jones' smoke-house, Dr. Hocker's store building, McCune's stable, also J. L. Lebow's, W. W. Whaley's and H. Gray's buildings, and moved Wright & Co.'s warehouse. The Ozark Prairie brick Church building was unroofed, the Fairplay school-house destroyed, also David Hood's dwelling, Tennis' grain-house, and Massey Miller's house unroofed. The damage to orchards and fences on Ozark Prairie was extensive. At Heaton Dr. Lowrance's [sp] store building was destroyed. At Lawrenceburg, M. Morris' house was destroyed, and L. Minott's, A. Moore's, James Box's, A. Adams' J. Abbott's houses, with other dwellings, were injured." An article on the tornado appeared in the Fountain & Journal, Mt. Vernon. Dec 9, 1880, Local News. It is obvious that Goodspeed used this article for the book. Although basically the same, the newspaper article is much more descriptive, and it's choice or words give the reader a better picture of what happened. Below are a few excerpts from this article. [This newspaper issue is on microfilm and located at the McCanse Library.] Here are a few lines from the article: "Just across the street [from the colored men's church] it struck the cabin of Jo. Henslee, (colored), who, with his family barely, escaped from the house when it was reduced to ruins, which too fire and came near burning up. Porter Jones' apple orchard was damaged some." "Out houses, signs, fences &c were scattered generally. Several persons were slightly hurt and a great many badly scared." "FROM THE COUNTRY: About two miles of Judge Landrum's fence was blown down on his farm on Spring River." "On LICK PRAIRIE about eight miles southeast, a man named Ellis resided. His house was blown down, but he and his wife escaped, but a small child remained in the wreck and was consumed with the debris of the house by fire." "A postal card from TALMAGE on the railroad between Peirce City and Sarcoxie, says: Thomas Legrand's house was literly blown to atoms, and also the next house west of him; the man and wife and two children in it, but all saved though hurt som. The children were found in the yard by their cries. Boyer's house, a quarter of a mile east was destroyed." "MARSHFIELD was again visited by a cyclone. Several houses blown to pieces. Judge Robertson's fine dwelling was totally demolished. The family was caught in the wreck, but were released without injury, except the judge, who was severely bruised." I did not list many of the business buildings that were destroyed, but the loss of these buildings was a hardship on the whole community, just the destruction is today. If you have not yet read the beginning chapters of Goodspeed's History of Lawrence County, I urge you to do so. Finally, I wish to share an excerpt from a personal account of Sereptha Jane (Nickel) Bandy, sister of my grandfather, Josephus Nickel, which was written by Nora Bandy Nicholson in June 1973, of the same tornado. STORM OF 1880 "My mother, Sereptha Jane Nickel Bandy, used to tell of the storm of Decemer 1880 as follows: My mother, Laura Ann Garner Nickel, was left alone with several of us children on the farm near Lawrenceburg, my father, John William Nickel, having gone to help deliver some sheep he had sold to someone near Cassville. During the night a storm came up and blew the whol roof off the main house and blew the lean-to- down. We were so scared that we decided to go to Grandfather's (Thomas A. Nickel) which was about a mile away across the fields. We had to cross a stream which was ordinarily a small stream but when we reached it, it was way out of its banks and mother was trying to call out to Grandfather to help us across the stream. Every time she called out all of us kids yelled too so no one heard us. Finally the whole lot of us waded across, carrying the smaller children and made it across to the other side, losing our shoes in the mud where we found them the next day, frozen in the mud. Our mule was also scared and followed us all the way over. None of us were injured but were really scared." [I found this account in one of the folders in the drawers at the McCanse Library.] Happy researching!!! Sharon Ford Van Nuys, CA ****2nd message**** >>> [email protected] 05/17/03 11:10AM >>> Pat or Andrew, I would also like a copy of the photo, if possible, and will gladly pay for any costs. My mother (b. 1910) lived in Mt. Vernon and she also mentioned going to Baptist Hill. I have a post card of Baptist Hill. If a 'copy negative' could be made at a photo shop, I would gladly pay the cost so that copies could be printed from it. If not, would it be possible to scan the photo and send it to others (at their personal e-mail address) as an e-mail attachment? I understand the photo is in poor condition, but perhaps it would work so it could be shared with more of us who are interested. Another possibility is if you have a store, like WalMart, that has one of those Kodak photo copier? It copies the photo instantly, and the operator does have the ability to touch up areas in photos. Four - 4"x6" photos can be copied at one time, or two - 5x7. Pat or Andrew, if there is not one in either of your areas, the photo shop that I goes to has one and I've known the owner for 30 yrs. He frequently makes copies for me and he always trys to enhance or touch them up. Years ago I sent numerous identified photos to the LCHS to be put in the museum, one of which was a photo of one of the sheriffs whose picture did not appear with his bio in the large Lawrence County Missouri History. In 2001 when I was able to make my first trip to Lawrence Co. for a couple of days, I visited the museum and none of the photos were on display. I know all museums have limited space, and it is necessary to store much of their collection. Large museums rotate displays after a period of time to rest them from light. I don't know the policy of the museum in Lawrence County, but it would be a shame to have your photo put into storage. I'm willing to help anyway I can.

Hi, I'm forwarding this message I wrote regarding the Baptist Hill photo, as it apparently was not received. Since I have never had this problem before, I don't know how to fix it, as I'm not computor knowledgeable. Should I be contacting my server and letting them know about this problem?

Hello, I would love to have copies of these pictures that you offered. Just a suggestion: You can put all of the pictures in one folder and then zip the folder for transmission via E-Mail. You can put a lot of pictures in the folder and by zipping the folder you decrease the total size of the transmission packet. I do this all of the time and have sent in excess of 20 pictures with one E-Mail. If you have any questions I would be more than happy to help. David Coates Charlotte, North Carolina
