I'm thinking that when I was looking for info on Higbee's Odd Fellows (Independent Order of Odd Fellows -- IOOF), I found the state office in Columbia, who sent me some info. Just an idea.

Isn't Bevier in Macon Co? Sounds logical it could be the same guy.

I was told by my mother that my grandfather, Lonnie Jones, was a member of the Odd Fellows. Does anyone have any info on them or a list of membes. He lived in JeffersonCity and Huntsville. Rose St.Louis Get Together of Sunbonnet Sues under the Arch- go to htp://www.sunbonnetsue.com/StLouis.htm

Just wanted to let you know that my ancestors Peter Powell, Sr. and his wife Martha CARROLL Powell moved from Caswell County, North Carolina to Huntsville in Randolph County along with their sons Barzillia Powell, William Powell, and their grandson John A. Powell in 1838. They later moved to Macon County and both Peter Powell, Sr. and Martha CARROLL Powell are buried in the Kitchen Family Cemetery located in College Mound, Chariton Township, Macon Co. MO. Peter Powell, Sr. married Julia Clemson after the death of his first wife (Martha). Several of Peter Powell and Martha CARROLL Powell's sons and other relatives are buried at the Union Cemetery, Macon Co., MO. It would be interesting to know if they travelled along with others on their way to Missouri.

Does anyone know if the Henry Edwards mentioned as a brother in the obit for W. Martin Edwards is the Henry Edwards in Bevier that owned the Edwards Funeral Home or could it have been Henry's father? Also mentioned as a sister was Rebecca Brundage. . My GG grandfather was Asa Brundege, the father of Rebecca's husband, James Richard Brundage. James Richard was a brother to my great grandmother, Susie Brundage that married Theodore Day in the College Mound area. The Brundage family is mostly buried at Union Cemetery, between Bevier and Huntsville. Our family has it spelled Bundrage and I have seen many spellings. Does anyone know the correct spelling or have any family history prior to Randolph County? Henry Edwards of Bevier was a family friend to our family in Macon County. This is the first time I knew there was any connection from the Brundege family to the Edwards family. I guess that is why we appreciate the Higbee News so much. And another question I have: Could the Wisdom family have also migrated with the other families from Caswell County, NC? Thanks for any help.

No. 9, Page 1, Col. 1&2--ERNEST FOWKES PASSES ON. Former Well Known Resident Dies in Wabash Hospital in Decatur, Ill.--Funeral and Interment in Hannibal Tuesday.--Higbee folks were shocked beyond measure Sunday morning when word came from Hannibal that Ernest Fowkes, a former well known resident of Higbee, and who paid Higbee occasional visits as his time would allow, and who never forgot the old home town, was dead. Death, we learn, was caused from infection following an operation a week before on one of his eyes. Born in Paris, Mo., in 1860, Mr. Fowkes at an early age took up telegraphy, and in 1879 went to work for the Katy as a telegraph operator, his first job being with a steam shovel. He was later operator at Paris, Nevada and Schell City, and in 1885 was appointed station agent at this place, and which he held for a year or more, quitting the road to take a position with the T. J. Moss Tie Company as chief accountant. On that company moving its headquarters to St. Louis in 1887, Mr. Fowkes not caring to go to the city, returned to railroad work and went back as agent here, going to Hannibal in 1892, as joint agent of the Katy and Wabash, and which position he had since held. On the completion of the M. K. & E. into St. Louis he was offered a position as agent in that city, but elected to remain in Hannibal. He was one of the Katy's most valuable employees, and knew railroading from beginning to end, and was frequently called in by his superiors for counsel and a! dvice. He was one of the finest fellows we ever knew, and from the day The NEWS was established was one of its truest friends. Though a great majority of those he had known in the years gone by had passed off the stage of action, he kept tab on Higbee and her citizens through the NEWS, and for whose coming each week he looked forward eagerly. No finer man nor truer gentleman than Ernest Fowkes was ever made, and in his passing Hannibal, as well as all who knew him, has suffered a distinct loss. The NEWS joins the community in deepest sympathy to his heartbroken widow. Funeral services were held in the Christian church at Hannibal Tuesday morning and interment made in Hannibal cemetery. The following is taken from the Hannibal Courier-Post of June 30th: "Ernest Fowkes, aged 68 years, for 36 years general agent for the Wabash and Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroads in Hannibal and prominent in Missouri Masonic circles died at noon today in Wabash railroad hospital, Decatur, Ill. Mr. Fowkes had been a patient in the hospital for two weeks and a week ago yesterday underwent an operation on one of his eyes. Mr. Fowkes was born at Paris April 9, 1860, and received his education in the public schools of that city. At 16 years of age, the death of his father, William E. Fowkes, caused him to enter the business world, and he learned telegraphy. In 1879 he was employed in Paris in the office of the M. K. & T. railroad, and served as operator successively at Paris, Nevada, Schell City and Harrisonville. In 1885 he was appointed agent at Higbee and remained there until September 1, 1892, when he was made general agent at Hannibal, and placed in charge of the terminals, freight and passenger traffic for both the Missouri, Kansas & Texas and Wabash railroads. Mr. Fowkes was made one of the board of trustees of the M. K. & T. railway employees' hospital at Sedalia, when it was first organized. He was also promoter and organizer of the M. K. & T. local agents Efficiency Association in 1912, and was at one time its president. He was chairman of the Safety First committee ! of the Springfield division of the Wabash railway. Mr. Fowkes was active in the organization of the Hannibal Business men's Association and of the Hannibal Commercial Club, which was a successor, being continuously a member of the board of directors. He was at all times foremost in the expansion of commercial and industrial interests of the city, and the moral uplift of individual elements of the community. He was influential in the organization of the Young men's Christian Association, rendering material aid in raising funds for the erection of the building, and for some time was a director. Mr. Fowkes was one of the most active members of the First Christian church and for years was a member of the board of deacons and was treasurer of the official board. He was a regular attendant at all church services. One of the prominent Masons in Missouri, Mr. Fowkes was Past Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of the State of Missouri in 1915-16. He was made a Master Mason on April 6, 1887, in Higbee Lodge No. 527, A. F. &. A. M., at Higbee, he was Master of the lodge in 1891-92. He was a member of Hannibal Chapter No. 7, Royal Arch Masons, and received the Royal and Select Master degrees in Centralia Council, No. 34, on march 7, 1908. He belonged to ?? Calibar Commandery No. 5, Knights Templar, of which he was a Past Commander. In the Grand Commandery of the State of Missouri he was elected Grand Junior Warden at a conclave held in Hannibal in May, 1910, and was advanced each year, until he became Grand Commander of Missouri at a conclave held in Kansas City in May, 1915. On April 5, 1892, Mr. Fowkes was married to Miss Della Carroll, daughter of John H. Carroll, retired farmer, of Higbee. Surviving him are his wife, and two sisters, one living in Denver, Colo., and another in New York City. Thursday, 5 July1928, Vol 42. No. 9, Page 1, Col. 2--RETIRES AFTER FIVE YEARS--Mrs. W. R. Jones, who has had charge of the Bell Telephone Exchange here for the past five years, retired the first of the month, and has been succeeded by Mrs. Mary Reese of St. Louis. The company, as well as the public, was loath to give Mrs. Jones up, as she had made one of the most efficient and accommodating employees the company ever had, and in which work she was most ably assisted by her daughters. Mrs. Jones' retirement was voluntary on her part, the job, from the long hours and the numerous night calls, finally getting on her nerves, and she leaves the service with the good will of all. Mrs. Reese, her successor, is experienced in the work, and is filling the place to the general satisfaction of patrons. Thursday, 5 July1928, Vol 42. No. 9, Page 1, Col. 2--AVERY--SUMPTER--Miss Willie Mae Sumpter, the charming and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sumpter of south of town, and Mr. Benton Avery, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cap Avery of east of town, were married at 9:30 o'clock Saturday evening, June 30, 1928, at the home of the officiating minister, Elder Raymond Sumpter. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Avery. The bride is a '28 graduate of Higbee High School and one of the honor students. The groom is an employee of the C. &. A. railway company and is now located in Kansas City. The couple left for St. Louis Monday for a visit with relatives of the groom. The NEWS joins other friends in congratulations and best wishes. Thursday, 5 July1928, Vol 42. No. 9, Page 1, Col. 3--W. M. EDWARDS DEAD--The many friends of Wm. M. Edwards, who moved to Mansfield, O., from near this place several years ago, will be pained to learn of his death, and of which we are advised through a letter from his son, H. B. Edwards, who says: "I would like the announcement of my father's death put in the Higbee News. "Wm. Martin Edwards, who formerly was a resident of Howard county, near Russell, for 32 years, died at the home of his son, Hardin B. Edwards of Mansfield, Ohio, June 4, 1928, aged 76 years, following an illness of several months. Mr. Edwards was born in Randolph county, Mo., on January 10, 1852. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards had made their home with his son for the past four years. He is survived by his wife and three sons--Robert, of College Mound, Mo., Earl, of Decatur, Ill., and Hardin of Mansfield, Ohio, and one daughter, Mrs. Walter Morton of Decatur, Ill. Also three brothers, Bert, of Springfield, Ill., and Jas. and Henry, both of Macon county, Mo., and one sister, Mrs. Rebecca Brundege of College Mound. Six grandchildren and one great-grandchild also survive. Funeral services were held at the Finefrock Chapel Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. L. A. Wood of the Park Ave. Baptist Church, and interment was made in Shenandoah cemetery. Mr. ! Edwards was a member of the Ararat Baptist church south of Higbee." Mr. Edwards is pleasantly remembered by a wide circle of friends, all of whom join the NEWS in sympathy to the bereft family. Thursday, 5 July1928, Vol 42. No. 9, Page 1, Col. 3--ERNEST RENNOLDS CRITICALLY ILL--The many Higbee friends of Ernest Rennolds, who moved to Moberly from this community several years ago, will regret to learn that he is in a very dangerous condition at his home in that city, but just what his malady is more or less of a puzzle to his physicians, although it is believed he is suffering from a form of paralysis. When his family was preparing Sunday morning to attend a birthday celebration of some relative he advised them that he would not go as he was not feeling well, but made no other complaint than that. When the family returned they found him unconscious and apparently suffering from a stroke, as his left side seemed to be dead, and he showed no evidence of feeling in his limb when a test was made with a needle. Later, however, he seemed to have regained full use of himself as he walked out into the kitchen and got a drink of water, though apparently unconscious. He w! as still in that condition Thursday morning, although he answered yes to some question asked him. Little hope for his recovery is entertained, we are sorry to say. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright notice: All transcriptions in this email are copyrighted by me.

Donna, I inquired about the place of origin because there was a large, I mean large contingent of folks that moved from the Wayne Co., Ky. to Randolph, Macon and Chariton Counties. I assume that Mercer Co. is probably close to the Wayne Co. area. There were several Burris and Burton families that made this treck.

Carol, Someone from Morandol-rootsweb, a few years ago e-mailed me and said that Lucius Burton along with her descendants went west a couple of years during the gold rush and came back home via the Mississippi. I would assume that after the death of his first wife and child thats maybe that was what he did. The time period is right. 1860 Census Lucious Tanner Burton b.
