Or a river boat. Those were a really big deal on the Osage River. Maybe a SHOWBOAT.........the Wright gamblers. I would hate to even think of living in that era. Life had to be a gamble every day. MY WRIGHT FAMILY LIVED CLOSE TO THE SWINGING BRIDGES. CLOSE TO THE OLD LOCUST (Hunting and fishing) LODGE. AND ON THE PROPERTY OF THE "OLD" WRIGHT CEMETERY: From Brumley take 42 west to Swinging Bridges Road and turn left. This is the 1st left hand road past Hwy C south. Go 1 mile plus half a tenth to the cemetery. The cemetery is on the right side.

Per Gerard Schultz (1933): Although no railroads were built in this county before 1880, there had been much agitation in favor of them. A few years after the Civil war efforts were made to build a railroad between Jefferson City and Tuscumbia. This line was finally to be extended to Lebanon. A proposition to vote $150,000 for this railroad was defeated by the voters of the county, January 16, 1872. The proposition carried in only two townships--Equality and Saline--but was defeated in Richwoods Township by a vote of 211 to 0. The total vote was 750 to 274. The present branch of the Missouri Pacific to Bagnell was surveyed in the winter of 1881-1882. The first railroad tax in this county was paid by this line, then known as the Jefferson City, Lebanon and Southwestern. This tax amounted to $572.92. The road now known and the Chicago, Rock Island and the Pacific Railroad was built through the northern part of the county in 1902-1903. The first trains of this railroad reached Eldon on October 22, 1903. Three days later the track was laid through the town of Eldon. Before that time business men of Aurora Springs had shown considerable interest in the proposed road, and failure to secure it contributed to further decline of the town. A number of other railroads were promised to Miller County which were never built. The first of these was a line which was to be built between St. Louis and Fort Scott, Kansas. This route seems to have been surveyed in 1872. In the fall of 1879 a party of engineers and surveyors came to Iberia and made surveys for a railroad. The main object of the construction of this road was to convey iron ore to St. Louis. Other railroads which were promised included Miller County Railway Company of Jefferson City, which was incorporated in 1901, and the Ozark Transit Company of Waynesville, incorporated November 19, 1906. The latter was to be an interurban road and pass through Cole, Miller and Pulaski Counties and extend into Texas County. ....probably more than you wanted to know.

Obituary: The Miller County Autogram, Thursday, April 30, 1914 Samuel Pennington was born in Pulaski County, Kentucky, May 16, 1828, and married to Martha Walls in Kentucky June 8, 1848, and moved to Miller County in 1850 and has resided here in the main ever since. When the Civil War came on he lived some 8 miles south of Brumley, and was among the first to enlist in the Union Army in the Osage Regt. Commanded by Col. J. M. McClurg (who afterward became Gov.). He was in the service in various commands until the close of the war. His wife joined the Baptist Church in 1855 and remained a faithful member until her death in June 1904. He joined the church in 1866. They had born to them 14 children, eight boys and six girls, and all lived to be about grown. He is a pensioner and a member of Lt. Wm. Hawkins Post No. 425 G.A.R. Uncle Sam was noted for honesty and integrity in the payment of all his debts. He was energetic and fearless in the defence of his convictions of the right as he saw it. In his long life, passing through the Civil War period he met with many hardships and many trials, and in the care and raising of so large a family had many heartaches but he manfully met every duty as it came to him and acquitted himself with credit. He leaves a second wife in very poor health who has watched faithfully over him during his long illness and death. Five years ago he requested that I preach his funeral sermon and write a short history of his life and with the help of Bro. J.M. Hawkins this I have done. His remains were laid to rest in the Gott Cemetery on Thursday, 16th, 1914, at 2 p.m. J. C. Thompson
