I was lucky enough to see and photograph the outside of the Fredericktown Courthouse in Oct 1999 (it was closed for the weekend. I have two people in my Moyers/Kelley and related Madison Co. family database that are said to have been carpenters on the courthouse. Does anyone know of a booklet/flyer that has a brief history of the courthouse? Linda McDowell in sunny California

I appear to have a talent for handing out bad addresses: the one I should have given is ftp://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/mo/madison/1830/ a dash (-) where the dot (.) should have been. Sorry about that and thank to all you investigators. Dorothy

This worked fine on my computer. Thanks for sharing.

Here is a little more info on the SSDI and the Social Security Administration. Subject: Re: Social Security Death Index You'll find more information about SS-5 and the SSDI here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson10.htm The SSDI at RootsWeb will generate letter for you for the person of interest-just do your search for them in the database and click on the option for the letter. You can do this for anyone and get the letter and modify it to fit your person of interest, by the way. I see you said you did not find this person in the SSDI. The reason for that can be many (see more about that on the Guide #10). Also, the name might be in the database a bit differently than what you have, so be sure to do a thorough search for various possibilities. This process to obtain the SS-5 often takes several months, so be patient. It often is valuable in that it usually gives the parents' names.

My Moore family in Madison Co. recorded the memories of one of my gg uncles before he died in 1971. They were on an old reel to reel and now transfered to cassette. In them he refers to Madison and also nearby places. I took notes from the tape and I am hoping that someone can give me additional information about these names and or places. I also hope that it will assist someone else with their search or reassure them that they are looking in the right place etc. He was a son of William Riley Moore,died 1905, a circuit riding preacher, who also preached at the first Baptist Church in Fredericktown. He was a carpenter, and so were all the other men in his family. Frank Moore once wrote an autobiography, but sent it to his brother Jim in Ca. to have printed. It was never seen again. He worked for John McCarthy 1910 on. They had a contract to build the addition to the St.Genevive Couthouse. It was very rainy that summer in 1915. At the same time the Railroad water tank burned down and they also built a school in Eola. He also worked on building the TB Institute in Mnt. Vernon. In 1916 he worked in Farmington at the McCarthy Headquarters. He and Henry Dalton built a 1/2 circle shaped church ceiling for ? church. It was done in shop and was one of the first of its kind in the area. It had a 50 ft span and was built in pieces. His father and brothers built the ceiling in the first Baptist church in Fredericktown where his father, William Riley Moore preached. It had intricate pieces of wood shapes designed after a quilt pattern that Mrs. Moore made. He also worked on Iron Mnt and they built a bank in Oram. He mentioned the silver mine mill that was 3 or 4 stories high. It only made one run of milled ore. Shipped to (sounds like St.Marys Lemay). The mine was west of the river and afterwards south of it was a huge hole full of deep blue water. He mentioned the name Osa Beth in relation to this. He mentioned the St. Francis Mines and Flat River. He worked on the building with some sort of special saw. He thought the company was then called National. His uncle Tom went to DeSoto to work. His uncle John Woodson Moore worked in (?Della Sue)maintenece on the railroad and Flat River in 1890. His unce,Big Jim went to Chester and was a carpenter on ships before he went to Ca. When one of the Moore family built their house in Fredericktown they hauled the lumber by flat bed wagon from Wayne Co. Another used the timber from an old saloon. He got to see Haleys Comet twice in his life. The first time was a lot brighter because there were no other lights in the town. He was 6 years old. He was very scared because he could hear the neighbors praying and screaming that it was the end of the world. His mother had to calm him and his four siblings. He finished High School in 1921. It was the largest graduating class Fredericktown had seen at the time. There were 37 of them. His Moores had come from Tennessee. John and Talitha and their children. She had once said it was so hilly there that they looked out the chimney in the afternoon to see if the cows were comming home. He said that before the Civil War male slaves went for about $5,000 dollars. His family had released them before emmancipation, but some of them had stayed on to work for the family anyway. His father William Riley Moore, the preacher, was St.Francis association moderator, a local missionary circuit. In his later days some did not like his old ways of worship. He mentioned John and Bob Moore were brothers that came from Salem,Tennessee. Bob got lost in the move when his wagon broke down. They were then seperated. He spoke of relatives Ed and Charle Arnold. Charlie was deaf. They would come to Mnt Devon in Missouri and help his family with the harvest. He told of Aunt Laura being mad at Charlie for feeding the cat from her table. He thought it might be possible that the chapel in Moorestown was named for his family. He thought John Moore had a sister named Hannah and that she married an Arnold from St.Charles and that Ed and Charlie were probably her sons. However he also recalled that there was a Hannah that married a Gregory that the Moores had some land dealing with. He breifly mention their Dr. Haley who was drunk 1/2 the time. He mentioned Anton and Amanda Schulte(also my ancestors) in a big house on S. Wood and W. Main. Amanda's brother Dodie lived in a small house in the back. (probably my ancestor also). He was always drunk and his sister took care of him. (It is suspected that she also raised my g grandmother and her brother-T.Hebert and Charlotta or Lottie Miller). He thought that the Arnolds were related to the Schulte family. The Moores, Schultes, and Arnolds all were neighbors. His uncle George Moore(my g grandfather) married Lottie Miller. He also mentioned Uncle Henry Adkins who had money problems when he did not work. He mentioned a Brouse in a sentence with his relative Arbanner. And something about a night rider. He mentioned Peggy Counts married Carl Bess. He also mentioned the Spickermans, Underwoods, and Kinders. He also talked of John and Talitha Moore being burried at what was then Sybil Coopers place. He mentioned his relatives that came from St.Louis when the Democrats took control of it in 1929. They were Carrie, Basil, and Connie Alexander.They lived in Greenville which was then county seat in Wayne Co. Lastly he mentioned that the Schwanner sisters, who were seamstresses, bought,the Schulte house. Karen Moore Kerr

Dear Betty, Regarding the Carroll surname, Rev Robert F. Carroll is listed in masonic Cemetery (which is in Madison County Cemeteries, vol. 1, page 34): Carroll, Robert F. Rev. 9-OCT-1869 Randolph Co., Ark. - 27-JAN-1941 Robert F. Carroll Md. Easter Pratt 29-JUN-1890 Randolph Co, Ark Carroll, Easter Josephine 27-APR-1870 Randolph Co., Ark. - 8-JUL-1948 d/o Robert Gibson Pratt and Martha Matilda (Russell) Also, Page 125 of Volume 1 lists Wm. Allen Carroll (Christian Cemetery): Carroll, Wm. Allen 24-AUG-1897 - 31-JUL-1971 WWI I hope this helps! By the way, since you live in Pocahantas, and it seems like there is a fair amount of overlap between Pocahantas, Ark. and SEMO in general, do you know of any helpful books for Randolph or other local counties? If you know what has been done, Id be interested to hear about it. I keep finding new books on Missouri counties that are not publicized on the county webpages, and I think that's a bummer (case in point, the six volume series on extracted vital info from the Banner Press (Bollinger County) from 1891 to 1911, or the fine census books of Madison County put together by Michael Miller, or the Obituary books from the Banner Press from 1889 to 1958 (so far) by Nelda Wilkinson. There are so many good indexed sources out there! Anyways, good luck with the Carrolls! David J.
