Well, if you're going from Ste. Genevieve, you will travel out Hwy 32 towards Farmington. Make a left on Hwy B, just over Hwy 55. Follow Hwy B to Coffman where it will basically deadend with two other highways: F to the right and WW to the left. Turn left on WW and follow that around the new Crown Winery, you'll be passing several fields of grapevines. The road to the cemetery will be on your left. The last time I was there was about 2 years ago, honestly, and then it was padlocked with a sign. However, Audrey Steffee just sent me several photos of the cemetery (for http://stegenevieve.net/cemeteries/cem-oldstone.htm) and she said that she was there a year ago, and there was no padlocking, etc. If you visit that page, there is also a picture she sent me of the sign at the end of the road. Oh also, the road to the cemetery is between two houses (or a house and a trailer, not sure) - but if you are looking you shouldn't miss it. If you get to this funny looking intersection that catches you off guard if you aren't paying attention (basically the highway goes sorta left and if you go straight you are on a gravel road, New Church Road; Haney Cemetery is right there) - if you get there, you've gone too far. Actually.... some ancestors of yours have photos on that page as well.... I have two more photos to put up but am changing servers very soon and so I haven't had a chance to yet. Hope this helps... valerie RMendelson@aol.com wrote: We are going to be in Ste. Genevieve in July. Can anyone give me specific directions to the Stone Church Cemetery?

I believe the bank was robbed in 1873. Some have disputed that it was the James Gang. I am very much interested in that robbery. For a number of years I have been trying to prove whether, or not , my Great-Uncle Agustus LaRose, son of Louis LaRose and Odile DuPlassey, was involved in the robbery. During the Civil War he went off to serve in the Confederate Army and never returned after the war. His Civil War papers are not conclusive as to whether he died at a hospital. According to family hearsay he was the only member of his family that had red hair and was known as "Bonnet Rouge" and when the Bank of Ste. Genevieve was robbed someone stated they had recognized him as a "lookout" for the robbers because of his red hair. He was not mentioned in the settlement of his father's estate in 1868, but was mentioned in 1865 as being an heir. Therefore, did he die during the war, or did he just not return home to his family. A relative who disputed that he was a member of the gang had said that the robbers had gone to Frank (Francois) LaRose's home and took a horse and had him make coffee, and surely his brother would have recognized him. Again, this is only hearsay. If you find anything in the newspapers regarding the robbery I would like a copy. Also I found in one book that a William Preston Mangum II had done some articles about the robbery and I think they appeared in one of the Ste. Genevieve Papers, but not when, or which one is known to me. I am interested in anything you find regarding the robbery. B. L.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 17, 1883 Bern. SCHMIDT's son, when crossing the South Gabouri bridge, Sunday before last, came, through the shying of his horse, too near the edge of the road and, the slope being covered with ice, like everything else, the horse slid down and fell into the gully below. The space below is rather narrow, the rail fence enclosing the field beyond coming within close proximity to the wall that forms the foundation of the road at that point. The horse luckily fell between two of the posts that support the wall and no damage was done; otherwise it might have turned out to be a sad affair. Could nothing be done to mend that bad spot? That greenhorns never die out was proven the other day by the farmer Wm. BODEAN, who lives about a mile and a half South of the Cape. Some time ago, a band of gypsies camped near his place, and BODEAN went to them for remedies against his rheumatism, which were given him and, as he says, entirely freed him of his pain. The honest farmer, after this, thought a great deal of these nature doctors and, when they told him that there was much money hidden in his farm and that in order to raise it, he must bury all his money for a time, he confidingly buried $5000 in the ground. Next morning his money was gone and so were the gypsies. DeSoto is to be made a city of the fourth class. Farmers in Scottcounty are losing hogs from cholera. The depot at Summit was burned last Sunday night. The night operator, Miss BAILEY, says all she saved was her little red mittens. - Weekly Independent. A man names BAUMGARTNER, an employee of the Iron Mountain R.R. was shot near Morley, Scott Co. sone time ago by a man who was taking a walk with his wife on the track and whom he wantonly insulted. Gov. CRITTENDEN won't give up his robber colonel to the Governor of Minnesota, who wants him, on the ground that he isn't through with him. It is to be hoped that the Gov. will use his influence to get Frank a position as a Sunday school superintendent. (This is Frank James - sjr.) FELIX H. JANIS SCHOOL COMMISSIONER of STE.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 17, 1883 Our Co. Court will listen to no outside influences; the influences are all on the inside. $84 were sent to St. Louis from this office yesterday morning, for the relief of the flood suffers in Europe. Mrs. HUBER's little boy Eddie, while going to school in the German Settlement the other day, fell on the ice and sprained his ankle. Simplicity never dies out. The costs of a suit over a sow and five pigs in the Jackson Common Pleas Court amounted to $160, exclusive of lawyer's fees. The weather has been as miserable as miserable could be, and, Prof. VENNOR is the fault of it, we hope he has by this time been duly marked by numerous bumps and a broken nose. We hear that a gay sleigh party in the Settlement some time ago, came to be left by accident; the horses having been left alone, probably thought that a sleigh without its cargo was an improvement and took it easy. A large and commodious Country Store with a lot of about 5 acres situated 8 miles South of Ste. Genevieve, on Perryville Road, is for sale at a reasonable price. Inquire at ANDREW SIEBERT's. Mrs. BELTRAMI was thawed out of her house and home this week. The lot being lower than third street or any of the surrounding lots, the water accumulated in her cellar until it reached the floor. Joe VORST is the champion hog killer of Ste. Genevieve. He killed 5 - shoats he called them - of less than 10 months old, which pulled an aggregate weight of 1,452 pounds. They yielded 78 gallons of lard. Dr. MERIAN, the veterinary surgeon, whose card see in another column, is making himself at home and seems to know his business thoroughly, by the way he slashes around among the four footed domestics. The welcome whistle of the E.C. Elliott was heard again on the river last Wednesday morning. Several of our merchants received goods that had been ordered before, in expectation of the long looked for opening of the river. Joe. FITZKAM had a slide last Wednesday. It wasn't himself that slid it was the ice on the roof and it struck him in the back of the neck, just as he was looking out for a customer to shave. It nearly shaved his head off, but he is all right, nevertheless. A cow belonging to Joe VEIT, who lives in the extreme Northwest portion of this county, went on a coasting expedition on the ice, down a rather long hillside last week and when landing below, broke her backbone, which settled her sliding proclivities for all time to come. Our Legislature at Jefferson City has so far done very little. The principal occupation of the solons seems to be to bring in bills, of which the tiniest portion will ever be debated or passed. However, as long as they don't do any mischief, let them draw their pay in peace.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 10, 1883 DIED: Wednesday, Jan. 7, of malaria fever, Hy. SAMSON infant son of Anthony SAMSON of Ste. Genevieve, at the early age of 5 days. F. HENNIGER, the brewer of Cape Girardeau had his ice cut on the pond near St. Vincent College Saturday, Jan. 27. When the men quit work, one of them, Tyler WILLIAMS returned to get some tools that had been left. He fell into the water and, though pulled out alive, died of the effects of the cold. Mr. Patrick DURNER dropped dead from his horse just as he had arrived home from town, last Tuesday evening. He was in Farmington during the day and appeared as well as usual. The cause of his death was heart disease. Mr. DURNER had been in the employ of the Gravel Road Company for a good many years, superintending repairs. He was an honorable, upright citizen. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his death. --Farmington Times. A horrible death overtook Mrs. Catherine ALTHOFF, an old lady of 76 years, at the residence of her son, Frank ALTHOFF, 9 miles SouthEast of California, in Moniteau county, Mo. On Sunday night before last, Frank and his family went out to visit a neighbor, leaving the old lady alone at home. When the family returned at 10 o'clock, a horrible spectacle met their eyes. At the front door lay the woman coveredwith burns, the pain rendering her speechless. Everything was done to alleviate her suffering but in vain; she died next morning. It is believed that the wooden shoes which she wore at the time, caught fire at the stove, and communicated it to her clothes. She then probably ran out to extinguish the flames, but...

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 10, 1883 THE NOBILITY CRAZE The tree of genealogy, or stocktree, as the Germans significantly term it, is one of the oldest trees in the world. We find it in the Bible, the Iliad, the Aeneid, the Edda, in Saxo Grammaticus, the Veda, the Venerable Bede, the Saxon Chronicle, and other ancient books, and whoever could not trace his pedigree back to Wodan himself, was nobody. There are many even now who boast the descent from that celwetial one-eyed rascal. According to Bede's register, Wodan must have lived about the time of the commencement of the Christian era; Saxo Grammaticus however extends the list of his mythical vikings, a thousand years further back. There was great rejoicing in the American press fifteen years ago, because a Boston professor of heraldry brought forth evidence of Washington's having descended from Odin. Sensible people who look at the world in its true light, have undoubtedly often noticed that the worst fruit may grow on the best genealogical tree and share the opinion of Tibesius: "A man of consequence needs no ancestry, he is his own ancestor." But unfortunately not everybody is sensible, and the pedigree epidemic is one of those sicknesses that break out periodically. At present it is raging in New York and several other eastern cities; a college of heraldry is being founded in Boston, and the metropolis on the Hudson contains the best paying nursery in the world, but the gardeners plant none but the trees of nobility. Every oil merchant or fish vender who has got rich, has his genealogy traced up, and the professor of the noblest of arts works with a dozen assistants to supply the demand. There are but very few rich families in New York without a coat of arms; for the heraldry epidemic is at present raging in New York, as it was in Germany 50 years ago, where every tailor and cheese monger had his coat of arms embroidered upon cushions and pillows by his daughters. A N.Y. journalist who visited the college of heraldry there, heard the following dialogue between the professor and a rich dealer in garden sass: "My name is Hunks and I would like to have my coat of arms; not that I care so much, but my wife is continually dinning my ears." "Hunks. Hunks!" said the learned expert thoughtfully, "descended from De Huncussie, a knight who fought at the side of Godfrey of Bouillon. Your ancestors were crusaders." "Don't doubt your word, sir; they have honestly carried their..." (Small portion of article missing - sjr) "...rich by lottery speculation. But I am glad I can rub my aristocratic origin under neighbor Livingstone's nose." "What was your mother's name?" " Sarah -- Sarah Slum." "English or Welsh Slums?" "Can't say, more Irish I think." "A hard case to clear up; the family of the Slums is very imperfectly known, but I think I can trace it back to the conquest; charges $25." "No consideration whatever, trace it back to the highest back garret, for all I care if it's only aristocratic." "Certainly, highly aristocratic. Do you wish a fenealogical tree?" "Trees do not thrive well before our mansion on account of the gas pipes. You can send one to my villa Rosecraft; one of those small trees, on which large pears grow, like neighbor Gould imports, would please Mary very much." "You mistake me, I meant a pedigree, like the one on the wall there. You see that is the tree of Grant's genealogy, full of Saxon Edeliings, Norman Dukes, there is even a king of Ulster among them. Costs $100." "I'll pay you $125, if you can manage to put in a king, for instance king David or Solomon, $25 for a king is no money at all." The man went. In his hall you may in all probability find his genealogical register with king David, and the remote descendents of this honest clown may perhaps wonder when looking at it, how the Jews got into their family. Mundus vulti decipi, therefore they deserve to be imposed on. A pedigree nursery would to all appearance be a remunerative institution also in the West, for not only have we tailors, counterhoppers and even drivers of soap-grease wagons who claim descent from the noblest families of Europe, but the craze has far taken hold of the people that a man, who tells the truth and pays his debts but is offspring of common people, born in lawful wedlock, is nothing compared with Hunks and Slum who have bought their pedigree, or with some imposter whose title to nobility rests only on his ability to run up grocery bills and to show himself highly insulted when he is asked for the cash. Let us have a college of heraldry by all means, if it only to rescue the female portion of those title hunters from the odium of being taken for ancient relics of chambermaids, who had the honor of wearing out the old discarded wardrobe of "my lady".

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 10, 1883 St. Mary, Feb. 6th, 1883 William WESSELS, son of James WESSELS, who carried the mail between here and Chester about a year ago, fell victim to the pernicious habit of carrying concealed weapons. Accompanied by John SMITH, he paid a vist at the residence of S. SMITH on Sunday last. The young men were much amused by a little lap dog which happened to be in the room at the time, occasionally picking the animal up and fondling it. At one such occasion John SMITH dropped a revolver, a borrowed weapon, from his pocket, the pistol was discharged by the fall, and the ball entered the abdomen of William WESSELS near the region of the bladder. WESSELS died Monday morning of the effects of the wound. Owing to the sickness of the teacher, the St. Mary public school has again been discontinued this week. This is the second time that the school has been stopped and the teacher is about a month behind time. It is rumored that the directors will employ another teacher as, with repeated interruptions of this kind, the session would be drawn too far out into the summer. Our "Dramatic Club" had a lawsuit on hand lately. Mrs. TLAPEK, widow of the late John TLAPEK, had been visiting at St. Louis for some time and during her absence her son John had rented the "Tlapek Hall" to the "Dramatic Club" for their rehearsals and entertainments. When Mrs. TLAPEK upon her return learned what happened, she highly resented the indignity put upon her by what she thought a desecration of her home and, being a woman of determined mind and resolute withal, took the whole dramatic establishment, stage, scenery, and all, and quietly placed the whole into the backyard. For this she had to defend a suit for damages brought by the club, and the case was to be tried before Squire MATTINGLY last Saturday. Vallee HAROLD being engaged by the club and T.B. WHITLEDGE by Mrs. TLAPEK. An agreement having however been arrived at, the suit was withdrawn and Mrs. TLAPEK paid $20 and costs. The next thing in order is that Frank JAMES bring damage suits against all the papers in the United States for having called him names.

Jacob HOOG says God Almighty is the best road overseer that ever was; whenever he takes a job he does his work thoroughly. His thunder and lightening of last week put all the roads in the county into excellent condition for sleighs and sharp shod horses, and there isn't a bit of mud to be seen. Ground-hog-day ushered in very bad weather, commencing with thunder and lightening and torrents of rain concluding with more thunder and lightening and plenty of sleet, in consequence of which the streets were in excellent condition for sleighing and skating on Sunday. Miles FARRAR, the postmaster of Marquand, Mo., who so mysteriously disappeared last fall with a considerable sum of money not his own, has been caught at Galveston, Texas. Wm.

THE GIRL WHO WEARS BANGS An exchange truthfully says: "Bangs on a girl give her an unruly look, like a cow with a board over her face. You take the gentlest cow in the world and put a board over her face and turn her out in the pasture, and she will get the reputation of being unruly, and one would swear she would jump fences and raise merry hades, and she couldn't be sold for $10, only for beef. It is so with a girl. If she wears her hair up high on her forehead, or brushes, or frizzes and has a good look, you will go your bottom dollar on her, and you feel that she is as good as gold, and that when she tells you that she loves you there is no discount on it or danger of looking back. But you take the same girl with her front hair banged, and when she looks at you, you feel as if she would hook, and you are afraid to trust her. She has a fence jumping look that makes a young man feel as though he wouldn't be safe unless she was tied hand and foot so she couldn't get out of the pasture. A girl with bangs may try to be good and true, but it's awful hard work.
