Hi Group, Just a quick note to let you know that Carolyn sent in some historical information from 1904 on the county. It is very interesting. She also sent in a map of Pemiscot County. Find both of those in the "Towns" section or find the links in What's New! Hope you enjoy them! Thanks so much Carolyn! Marsha http://www.rootsweb.com/~mopemis2/

Well, there definitely was a Kennedy, MO. I found a map in an old book (1904) in the Archives. Kennedy was a small village on the Mississippi River in the eastern part of Organ Township. It even had a postoffice from 1893 until 1918. The same thing probably happened to Kennedy that happened to Gayoso, MO and Boothspoint, TN. As the river changed course the land eroded into the river. And the towns and cemeteries disappeared. There was a north/south road that travelers took that went though Steele in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It became Highway 61. The St. Louis, Memphis and Southeastern Railroad also went through Steele. Now, for the bad news. I could not find a listing for James Eugene PRYOR/PRIOR in the cemetery transcription books for Pemiscot County. That does not mean he was not buried in Pemiscot County. Just that he is not listed in the cemetery inscription books. Carolyn

I could not pull up a James Pryor in Pemiscot County, MO. Do you know when he died? There were several James Pryors in the entire state. I will check the cemetery index to the Pemiscot County cemetery books at the Archives. Please remember that many cemeteries no longer existed by the time the books were done. Many were paved over, buildings were built where they once existed, or the tombstones were simply removed. If a farmer bought land and wanted to farm the cemetery, the tombstones were often loaded up and dumped. Carolyn

Hope this article will help those who are researching their families in Southeast Missouri when they run into names they can't find information about anywhere. Linda James Bolton Standard-Democrat Newspaper Sikeston, Mo Sunday April 20, 2003 SCOTT CITY CENTENNIAL ALMOST FORGOTTEN When Norman Brant approached the city council in the Southeast Missouri town of Scott City to discuss his proposal to establish a city flag, he said the flag would commemorate the city's founding 100 years ago. Good thing he mentioned it. City officials were not aware of the pending centennial. "This is the first we've heard about that," Mayor Tim Porch said. The same was true for Carolyn Pendergrass, chairwoman of the Historic Preservation Commission and others involved in Scott City historical issues. "we said, 'Oh my god, we let that go by,'" Pendergrass said. Then again, the fact that the town's founding is muddled isn't a complete surprise. Scott City is the modern amalgamation of three towns -- Ancell, Edina and Illmo --that once sat side-by-side. Ancell and Edna were both platted in 1903, Illmo in 1904, hence the centennial that organizers plan to extend into next year. Adding to the confusion is the fact that the orginal towns have been known by other names. In the late 19th century, Ancell, named for a local family, was known as Glenn Station and Kelso Station. Edna, named for the daughter of a landowner, was confused with another Missouri town and was re-christenend Fornfelt in 1911. Illmo, site of Scott City's older commercial district and houses, had earlier been known as Whippor-Will's-Hollo. Ancell and Fornfelt consolidated in 1960. They became Scott City -- so named because the town sits in Scott County -- just as Interstate 55 came through town.
