Was amazed at response to this list - - didn't realize so many people were interested - - Add to your list - - S.M. (Shade) Ward, 1940-44 does anyone else know any names - dates ??

I have a copy of the 1935-1936 Missouri Legal Directory which was the first Missouri Legal Directory published by Legal Directories Publishing Company, Inc. who has published an annual directory just about every year since. According to this 1935-1936 Directory, the Sheriff at that time was W. W. Kemp, Democrat, Fredericktown, Missouri. In fact, here is the complete Madison County Listing from the 935-36 Legal Directory: MADISON COUNTY - COUNTY SEAT, FREDERICKTOWN. POP. CO 9,418 Presiding Judge County Court - Jude Cook - Republican - Fredericktown Judge County Court, First District - H. R. Inman - Republican, Fredericktown, Route 3 Judge County Court, Second District - H. F. Moyers - Democrat - Marquand Judge Probate Court - Walter McFarland - Democrat - Fredericktown Clerk Circuit Court - J. Scott Graham - Republican - Fredericktown Clerk County Court - Frank Wray - Democrat - Fredericktown Recorder of Deeds - J.

Englehart, Melvin Henson, Thomas Staumbaugh, W. H. Terseau, D.M. There's also an advertisement for a Felix J. Parkin who apparently had an abstract company in Madison County. He is advertising the following services: Abstracts - Conveyancing - Insurance - Collections. He further claims in this advertisment to having "The Only Complete Set of Books in Madison County." In looking through some other old Legal Directories (more recent) which I have on hand, I find the following Sheriff's listed in the following dated directories: 1972...............N. F. Whitener 1975-76..........N. F. Whitener 1976-77..........N.F. Whitener 1977-78..........N.F. Whitener 1978-79..........N.F. Whitener 1980...............Verlon Young 1981...............Gary L.

The Missouri Blue Book might be a good source for info similar to this. ----- Original Message ----- From: B.
