K of P I believe is Knights of Pythias K of H I believe is Knight of Honor a beneficiary organization founded about 1877 The AOUW is the Ancient Order of United Workmen -- think back to feudal history in Europe when there were skilled artisans--today we have carpenter's unions and other skilled worker's organizations.

Hi Everyone, In the bio of Andrew McCollum (and others) he is listed as a master workman in A.O.U.W., a K of P and a K of H. Does anyone know what these mean? Thank, Donna

sorry - I tried to send an attachment through - I meant to send a picture to one of the list members and instead sent it to everyone.

Donna, Best I can tell A.O.U.W stands for Ancient Order of United Workman http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/fraternalism/aouw.htm K of P = Knights of Pythias http://www.pythias.org/index.html K of H = Knights of Honor http://www.explore-society.com/society/K/Knights_of_Honor.html Now go watch that new Nicolas Cage movie National Treasure :-) Matt -----Original Message----- From: Donnamomburg@aol.com [mailto:Donnamomburg@aol.com] Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 11:20 PM To: MORIPLEY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MORIPLEY] Re: MORIPLEY-D Digest V05 #93 Hi Everyone, In the bio of Andrew McCollum (and others) he is listed as a master workman in A.O.U.W., a K of P and a K of H.

Hi Donna, A.O.U.W. is the Ancient Order of United Workmen. If you type that into google it will take you to several sites that can give you some background. Also I think K of P is Knights of Pythias (sp) the other I dont know.

Matt Thank You so much. I know you had a lot of request and I appreciate the time you took. Glad to have the info so I can compare to my notes. Again Thank You, Donna

Thanks for the census info Debbie. I have a question. John F. Patterson was elected Sheriff of Ripley Co from 1893-96. I'm wondering if there might me a picture of him somewhere. Maybe in the Sheriff's department hanging on the wall or something like that. I know our Sheriff's Department in Lamar Co. has a pic of every Sheriff hanging on the wall as you walk into the main building. Or maybe there's a book somewhere that has them all in it. It would be great to have a picture of him so I was just trying to think of some of the places it might could be found and thought I'd pick your brain to see if you have any ideas. Since he was Sheriff you would think someone would have taken his picture at some point or another. Also, one other question if I may. Are there any old church records around? Reason I ask is because the bio I have on John F. says he was a member of the Christian Church. Might be a good source of information.

Jackie, And another... :-) Matt JoSEPH ADDISON POPE. He whose name heads this sketch has been familiar with farm life from his earliest boyhood, and as a follower of this the most useful of callings, he has at all times shown good judgment, and has been successful. He was born in Wake County, N. C., in 1820, in which State his parents, Simon and Martha (Cole) Pope, were also born, the birth of the father occurring in 1793. They made their home in the Old North State until about 1824, then removed to west Tennessee, and both parents died in Ben- ton County in 1840. They were highly respected citizens, were honest and industrious, and became well to do as tillers of the soil. For a number of years the father taught school, and for some time he ably filled the office of justice of the peace. The paternal grandfather was for a short time a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was of English origin and died iii Wake County, N. C., as did also his wife. The maternal grandfather, Thomas Cole, was a farmer and was killed in a neighborhood difficulty when Mrs. Pope was a small child. His wife died in Tennessee. Simon Pope became the father of nineteen children, only four of whom lived to be grown: Harriet J., who died in Benton County, Tenn., in 1891, the wife of Charles Cowell; Leonard H. died at Nashville, Tenn., while a prisoner of war; Joseph Addison; and Delaney, who died in Mississippi County, Mo., the wife of Samuel Fittle. The early educational advantages of Joseph Addison Pope were of quite a meager description, and he was reared to a knowledge of hard work on his father's farm. In 1844 he was united in marriage in Benton County, Tenn., with Eliza A., daughter of Reuben and Sarah Bridges, who were born in North Carolina and east Tennessee, respectively, and eventually breathed their last in Benton County, Tenn. In 1868, in Ripley County, Mo., Mrs. Pope was called from life, after she had borne her husband seven children: Delaney A., the deceased wife of D. P. Thomas; Reuben, a farmer of Ripley County; Simon, Joseph, Leonard, Eliza Jane and Sarah, all of whom are dead except Reuben. In 1870 Mr. Pope's second marriage occurred, Mrs. Harriet Pitman becoming his wife. She died five months later, and in 1872 he wedded Mrs. Emily Black, who died about two years later. In 1875 Mr. Pope married his present wife, Melissa Hart. He has been a resident of Ripley County, Mo., since the journey by wagon to this section occupying about twenty-one days. Their home was in Buckskull until the opening of the Civil War, after which they resided at different places in the neighbohood until about sixteen years ago, when they settled in the woods on the farm on which they now reside. Mr. Pope owns 150 acres of well-improved land, is a thrifty and successful farmer, and being scrupulously honest in all his business transactions, he is universally respected. He has witnessed almost the entire development of the county and has assisted in bringing about this desirable state of affairs. Until the opening of the war he was engaged in merchandising as well as farming. He has always been a Democrat politically, cast his first presidential vote for Polk in 1844, and for six years was justice of the peace in Tennessee. He is a member of Pitman Lodge No. 149, of the A. F. & A. M., and he and his wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tanimara" <tanimara@townsqr.com> To: <MORIPLEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 4:00 PM Subject: Re: [MORIPLEY] Reminicent History of the Ozark Region (update) > Matt, > > I am in need of the bios on Andrew J McCollum and Joseph Addison Pope.

Jackie, Here you go... Matt HON. ANDREW J. MCCOLLUM. The State of Missouri is well represented by the native Tennesseean, among whom are found many prominent and influential citizens, our subject not being classed among the least. He is now the most efficient circuit clerk of Ripley County and a man thoroughly posted and informed in the duties of his office as well as all other matters of moment. He was born in Hickman County, Tenn., September 23, 1842, and the son of John and Susan (Caruthers) McCollum, natives of middle Tennessee. The father resided in Tennessee all his life and spent his days engaged in tilling the soil, He held the office of justice of the peace many years, also other positions of trust and honor, and was universally respected. He moved from Hickman County to Perry County, Tenn., about i8t and there died in 1877, when sixty-five years of age. After his death the mother moved to Ripley County, Mo., and found a comfortable home with her son Andrew J. until her death in 1879, when fifty-six years of age. In politics the father was a Democrat. Andrew J. McCollum was a lad of nine years when he moved with his parents to Perry County, Tenn., and in Hickman and that county he secured a fair education. In August or September, 1861, he joined the Forty-second Tennessee Confederate Infantry, Company H., as sergeant and remained with that regiment until the close of the war. He preferred to remain with his comrades and refused office, although it was tendered him. He served in Louisiana. Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee and was in the battles of Fort Donelson, Jackson, Atlanta (Georgia), Campaign, Kenesaw Mountain and others.

At Vicksburg and Atlanta he was twice wounded by spent balls, but not badly. His command consisted of sharpshooters. At the close of the war he returned to Perry County and turned his attention to farming. In 1871 he came to Missouri and bought a farm near Doniphan. Three years later he was elected circuit clerk and recorder and entered the office January 13, 1875. That position he has filled up to the present time and it speaks for itself as to his popularity. Mr. McCollum was married in March, '866, to Miss Alice Harrington, of Perry County, Tenn., and she died in May, 1879, leaving two children: Mary E., wife of E. Dalton, of Randolph County, Ark., and William T., at home.
