I saw Mary Sue Dougherty Cooper, mentioned in one of your l928 items on her marriage, at the Higbee Cem over the weekend where we both volunteered for a shift. She's in her '90s and I understand living alone in Higbee for at least the summer.

Mary Ruth's elder daughter is Carla, at last still living in Moberly. I'm still thinking on what the younger daughter's name is.

William B. was indeed the son of Larkin Smith, who was 28 Jan 1833 in Bourbon Co.Ky. He is reported as being buried in Audrain Co. His parents were Henry Towles, born on 25 Jun 1786 in Millbrook Va, and Sally Bedford, on 14 Jul 1801 in Bourbon Co. Ky. Henry was the child of Col. Thomas Towles and Mary Beverley Smith both born in VA. Thomas was the child of Stokeley Towles and Elizbeth Martin. Stokeley was the child of Henry Towles and Hannah Thierriott. Stokeley was the son of Henry the Emigrant. I hope that helps! BTW, do you know anything about Great Uncle Thomas Theritt's grave at Hickory Grove? Carolyn, Terry, and I were trying to locate it yesterday, and could not find a stone. If there is no stone we can gather his Civil War info and get one free from the govt. Take Care! Berry

No. 12, Page 1, Col. 6--ED. S. ST. CLAIR PASSES ON. Dies at His Home, near Myers, at Ripe Old Age of 84 Years--Interment at Mt. Pleasant.--Ed. S. St. Clair, one of the patriarchs of Howard county, whose illness had been noted in the NEWS from time to time for several months, passed peacefully away at his home in Mt. Pleasant church vicinity at 6 o'clock Thursday, July 19, 1928, from the infirmities of age, being in his 85th year. He was born in Virginia on March 16, 1844 and moved to Missouri in 1857, locating in Howard county, and where he had resided since. He was married to Nancy Bailey on May 19, 1868. They were the parents of six children, four of whom, with the mother, survive, viz: I. T. St. Clair, Fayette; Mrs. John Douglas, Kansas City, Kas.; Mrs. H. M. Walker and John M. St. Clair, of Howard county. Two sons, George and Arch, died many years ago. Besides the children he leaves 20 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, and a host of friends to mourn his passing. Mr. St. Clair was a Confederate veteran, having served almost four years in the army of the South in Company E, 8th Missouri Cavalry, in Shelby's famous brigade, and saw hard service. He was a devout member of the Christian church, with which he united at the age of 29 years, and lived his christianity in his every day life seven days a week. He had the manner and bearing of the old-fashioned Southern gentleman, which he really was, and numbered his friends by his acquaintances. No man was held in higher esteem than he, and in his passing his family and the community have suffered a distinct loss. Funeral services were held at Mt. Pleasant church by the Rev. Goslin in the presence of a very large crowd of sorrowing neighbors and friends and interment made in the cemetery there. The NEWS joins the community in deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.

The groom is one of Moberly's most highly respected young men and comes from one of its best families. They will reside in Kansas City where each has been located for several months. The NEWS joins other friends in congratulations and best wishes. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42.

He was out picking blackberries, and seeing some very fine ones in the shade of a bush and just above the ground, he reached in to take hold of the vine to raise it, when a snake, commonly called land moccasin, bit him on the arm. Believing that the snake might be venomous, and not wishing to take any risk, Mr. Hudson took out his pocket knife and slashed a gash in his arm causing a good flow of blood from the wound. So far as we know he has suffered no ill effects from the bite. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 5, Col. 1--LOCAL AND PERSONAL--Born, on the 23rd, to Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Fuhrman, a son.

She is a most proficient organist and is organist at the Thoburn church. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. David Thomas of this place and is one of our best and most reliable young men, and as fine a young man, in every respect, as any community can boast. He has been prominent in church work in Chicago, taking a special interest in the Epworth league, and is a member of the Thoburn church choir. A host of friends in the old home town join the NEWS in congratulations and best wishes. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 1, Col. 3--ERNEST RENNOLDS NO BETTER--The condition of Ernest Rennolds of Moberly, who has been critically ill for the past two weeks, suffering from something like paralysis of the brain, and who was thought to be near death Wednesday night of last week, rallied the next day, and has remained in about the same condition since. His malady, we understand, is a complete puzzle to physicians, but all are pretty well agreed that nothing can be done for him. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 1, Col. 3--JAS. WARFORD OPERATED ON--Jas. Warford, son of Mr. and Mrs. Warford of south of town, who was rushed to a Moberly hospital Wednesday of last week, suffering from an attack of appendicitis, was operated on immediately. The condition of the appendix showed that he had not been taken to the hospital a minute too soon. He has since been doing nicely, we are glad to state, and will be able to come home in a short time. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 1, Col. 3--SHERIFF MCCANNE SEIZES STILL AT HOME OF GEO. MOORE--Sheriff McCanne and Deputy Steve Jones slipped into Higbee late Wednesday afternoon of last week and made a raid on the home of Geo. Moore, who lives on the old J. W. Burton farm adjoining town on the southwest, and seized a still, a gallon of distilled liquor and three gallons of mash. The still had just been disconnected before the raid was made, Sheriff McCanne states, and a five-gallon jug of liquor was smashed before he could prevent it. Moore was unable to furnish bond, waived preliminary hearing and will be tried at the September term of circuit court. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 1, Col. 3--Carl Duncan, accompanied by his little son, and father, R. G. Duncan, were here from Marshall Saturday afternoon and found time to pay the NEWS a hurried call. Carl, who has been connected with Missouri Valley College as business manager for several years, has recently accepted a similar position with Tulsa University, Tulsa., Okla., and will leave early next month to take up his duties. His father, who will make his home with him, advised us that he would be back for a visit with old friends before leaving for Tulsa. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 1, Col. 5--ANOTHER HIGBEE AIRPLANE OWNER. Higbee people were attracted by the droning of an airplane motor Tuesday noon and it was soon located, coming in from the southwest at a height of about a mile, and when it began to cut all kinds of shines in the way of looping the loop, nose diving, doing the maple leaf drop, etc., all wondered who the occupant might be and for what purpose he could be putting on the show for Higbee folks. The plane belonged to Ivan Pitney of this place, who purchased it at Marshall Monday, and was delivered to him by pilots of the flying school there. Here's wishing him all kinds of pleasure with the craft, and that he will not attempt any stunt flying. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 1, Col. 5--SHOCKED BY LIGHTNING--Mr. and Mrs. John Lynch of south of town were quite severely shocked by lightning during the rain and electrical storm early Saturday evening, and from which Mr. Lynch's left arm was more or less numb for a day or two. They were in their back yard when the bolt struck a gate post and leaving a quantity of smoke, and which John said smelled strongly of brimstone. The post was completely shattered, while a team hitched to a wagon and standing within five feet of the post escaped all injury, and, so far as John could tell, even a shock, as they did not move and seemed to pay no attention to the crash. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 1, Col. 5--COOPER-DOUGHERTY--Mr. Fred Cooper and Miss Mary Dougherty, both of this place, were married in Kansas City Tuesday, but by whom we could not learn. They arrived home that night and at present are at the home of Mr. Cooper's parents. The bride is the pretty daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Dougherty of south of town and is popular among a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Cooper and is one of our best known young men as well as one of our most popular. The NEWS joins other friends in congratulations and best wishes. Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 1, Col. 5--Ray Holtzclaw writes us from Sweet Grass, Mont.: "Enclosed find $1.50 for which please mark me up for another year on your list. Have been having a lot of rain here this summer. Last year was the first crop the farmers had had for ten years, but a good crop is about assured for this year with the amount of moisture they have had already. Farming here is done on a big scale. A section of land in a field and in one crop is nothing out of the ordinary, and many farmers have as much as 2,000 or 3,000 acres in wheat. There are also lots of sheep around here. Flocks run from 1,000 up in number. We have a very fine climate in the summer but it sure gets cold in the winter. It got down to 55 degrees below zero last winter. Best regards to everyone." Thursday, 26 July1928, Vol 42. No. 12, Page 1, Col. 5--Linley Dougherty, who came over from Marshall on the Fourth for a visit, and who had been in bed most of the time since with measles, was able to return home Saturday. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright notice: All transcriptions in this email are copyrighted by me.

I noticed last weekend that someone has again cleared the brush, etc., from the Evans-Green cem just south of Armstrong. Years ago I helped the late Wm. Wallace, whose Evans family were buried there, clear the sprouts, etc., but it was allowed to overgrow. His cousin still lives there, so I assume she had it done.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WNB.2ACI/48.76 Message Board Post: I have a Edward McGuire, who married eugina Leach in 1893 - Davie County, NC. This family settled in Dyer Co., TN. I am searching for my Palmer ancestors. I know nothing about this side of my family. The only info that I have is on my gg-grandpa, R.G. Palmer. My grandpa, Moody Leach, is 94 and still with us. He only knows that R.G. was a cattle man, and was born in MO. R.G. married Ada Bishop. Ada was born in 1867 - Dyer Co., TN. R.G. met Ada, while passing through as a cattleman, where they married and had two children: Alma Palmer, and Henry Palmer. R.G. Palmer got on his horse one day, never to return, leaving Ada alone to raise Alma and Henry. Rumor was that R.G. went to California. That is all we have on our Palmer descendants, and would love to find out more. If you have any clues for me, I would surely appreciate it. thanks, tina collings
