FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, April 21, 1910 SAD DEATH We mentioned last week that Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Delaney had gone to St. Louis with their younger daughter, Alta Belle, who had been seriously ill for a number of weeks, to place her in the Deaconness Hospital for treatment by a specialist. I was decided that an operation would be necessary, which was performed on Saturday. On Sunday night at 11 o'clock Alta's gentle spirit left its weakened tenement of clay and passed through the veil to the rest that lies just beyond. The news was received with much sadness in Farmington Monday morning, for Alta was a great favorite among her classmates and young friends. The funeral took place from the M.E. Church, South, at Fredericktown on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Wm. Court of Farmington conducting the services. Paul Jones, Vernon Taylor, John Robinson and Misses Reba Haile, Lora Lee Murrill and Mildred McKinney of Farmington acted as pall bearers, and among others who attended the funeral from here were Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Rozier, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Isenman, Mrs. Covington, Rev. Wm. Court, Mr. Covington, L. Williams, Burdine Crowe, Misses Montgomery, Clark, Arnold, Helen Murrill, Blanche Gale, Bertha Mitchell, Miriam Bleeck, Miriam Good, Laura Hensley, Emily Huff, Rae Lendsay, Dorothy Butterfield and Roberta Tetley. ******************************************** CARD OF THANKS We sincerely thank our dear friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our beloved daughter and sister, Alta. MR. AND MRS. D. L. DELANEY AND DAUGHTER.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, April 21, 1910 ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN DIES AT AGE OF 86 Mr. Joseph Prichard passed away at the home of his son, in St. Louis, on April 15, at the ripe old age of 86 years. The body was brought to Farmington and after brief services on Sunday afternoon at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. P. L. McDaniel, conducted by Rev. S. P. Brite, was laid at rest by the side of that of his wife in the Masonic cemetery. Mr. Prichard was one of our sturdy pioneers. He was born in Gwinnette county, Ga., in 1824, and came to St. Francois county in 1856. He settled on a farm where he spent nearly all his long and useful life. He was the father of twelve children, nine of whom lived to rear families of their own. He had thirty-eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. In his young manhood he was converted to Christ and became a member of the Baptist Church in Mississippi, being baptised by a Rev. Shepard in 1844. For many years his church-membership was in the Union Baptist Church, St. Genevieve county. He was a man of simple, pious habits, loving nature and nature's God. When his wife passed away some two years ago he was lonely and too old to adjust himself to life in town. He sighed for the songs of the birds and longed to be out in the fields, to see the grass and the flowers and the trees. He was a good man; he looked for a city that hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. He has gone to his reward, and his name will be embalmed in the heart as a precious memory. S. P. B.

Jim, Mother (Ruby Ethel Holmes McDowell) said she could remember when Great Grandma Sigman ( Martha Janet Johnson Sigman) [Jonas Franklin Sigman b 04/03/1845 North Carolina d 04/25/1910 St Francois co, MO m 02/18/1875 St Francois co, MO to Martha Janet Johnson b 03/24/1854 Johnson co, IL d 05/17/1930 ] lived in the house in what then was Jaydee, MO. It was a two-story house and later they lowered the top story but was the same location where Uncle Ed & Aunt May Sigman lived. Grandma Maggie Holmes was not married at the time of Great Grandpa Sigman died, so Mother did not know him but she loved to go visit her Grandma Sigman (nickname: Jennie Sigman)- and play upstairs in her house.

Jaydee appears to have been located near the intersection of Highways D and K, northeast of Desloge. It's coordinates are 37 degrees 55 minutes north and 90 degrees 25 minutes west. Mike Christiaens Saline,MI

Can anyone give me the location of Jaydee? I'm guessing it is out in the Cadet area. I've never heard of it, and tried going through the St. Francois County GenWeb page links to old towns, post offices and county maps--but all the links to anything with _http://ozarks.smsu.edu/_ (http://ozarks.smsu.edu/) are no longer working.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, May 19, 1910 WELCH - TURLEY George V. Welch and Miss Florence Turley were married at DeSoto on Wednesday, May 11, 1910, Rev. P. M. McDonald officiating. The bride is the beautiful and accomplished daughter of the late Dr. J. W. Turley and one of the most successful teachers of the State. The groom is a son of Mr. Thomas Welch and one of the most promising young business men of Southeast Missouri. After a short honeymoon trip they will reside at Vineland, where Mr. Welch is now engaged in the Mercantile business.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, May 19, 1910 WASN'T RADER The Sherriff received a telegram from the authorities at Brazil, Ind., last week that a man had been arrested there answering the description given of Sam Rader, who assassinated Wm. Lacomb at Flat River on the night of the 5th inst. Constable Dean was sent to Brazil to indentify the man, but he did not prove to be Rader. Nothing has been heard of Rader since he made his escape. He was originally from Tennessee, and it may be that he went that way and made for the mountain fastnesses of that State.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, May 19, 1910 DR. BRAHAM HURT IN AUTOMOBILE RIDE Last Sunday, while Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Braham were returning from Doe Run in an automobile, their son, Dr. J. V. Braham, driving the machine, a rut in the road caused the machine to bounce, and both the Doctor and Mrs. Braham were tossed up and off the seat. Mrs. Braham fell to the floor and the Doctor lurched forward striking the back of the front seat, fracturing the bridge of his nose and badly bruising his face. No serious results followed, but the Doctor was laid up several days with bunged face and eyes and a very sore nose. Mrs. Braham was not hurt.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, May 19, 1910 PROF. MEAD MEETS WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENT During the ball game last Friday between Carleton College and Doe Run teams, Prof. Harold Mead met with a very serious accident. He was making the first base when he collided with one of the players of the Doe Run team, striking the point of his chin against the latter's head. The impact was so great that both men were hurled unconscious to the ground, and Prof. Mead's lower jaw was broken in two places, on the right side in the region of the molar teeth and on the left side between the first and second bicuspid teeth. Drs. Fleming and Robinson were sent for, who called to their assistance Dr. C. A. Tetley, dentist. A temporary adjustment of the fractures was effected and Dr. Tetley phoned to St. Louis for appliances with which to perfect the setting, and on Sunday this was done. A gold band was placed around the upper and lower teeth at the points of fracture, and using the upper jaw as a splint the lower jaw was made secure to it by bronze wire ligatures connected with the bands around the teeth. It was necessarily a painful and tedious operation, taking nearly three hours, but very successful, and the Professor manifested unusual nerve and fortitude throughout the ordeal. We are pleased to say that he is getting along as well as could be expected, but he will have to live on soups and other liquid nourishment for several weeks until the bones knit together.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, May 5, 1910 JAYDEE. The rain Sunday and Monday night stopped the farmers from planting corn for a few days. We believe what corn was planted before that snow will come up all right. There has been some planted over, but the most of it we think will make a fair stand. All the fruit was killed during the last snow storm. There would have been an abundance of all kinds of fruit if it had not been for that cold wave. A protracted meeting of about three weeks, which was conducted by the pastor, Rev. Marvin ROBERTS, closed last Sunday night. He was assisted by Rev. J. W. WOOD of Oak Ridge, who delivered several fine sermons. The members of Marvin Chapel were glad to have Brother WOOD back with them. He was on the Farmington circuit a few years ago. Miss McDONNEL of Leadwood lead the choir. We understand that Jaydee post-office will be discontinued after the 15th of this month. We do not know where we will get our mail unless Uncle Sam gives us the rural route we have been trying to get for some time, and to which we think we are entitled. Mr. W. N. PIGG and family of Jaydee have been visiting the family of his brother-in-law, Mr. Reed COVINGTON, seven miles west of Bonne Terre on the Cadet road. Mr. Bryant McCARTY will be a reader of The Times, having subscribed for it for a year.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, April 28, 1910 THURMAN Sorry to say the fruit in our neighborhood is all killed. Martin PULLEN of Knob Lick visited here Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Nace TURLEY visited Sprott friends Sunday. The sudden change of weather has caused many cases of la grippe. Clifton EDWARDS of Bonne Terre visited Jaydee friends the first of the week. The farmers in our neighborhood who have planted corn say they think they have had their work for nothing, on account of the cold weather and freezes. Fred CHANDLER of Koester visited home folks near Sprott Saturday and Sunday. Mr. T. V. CUNNINGHAM and family were the guests of Mr. Thomas AuBUCHON and family Sunday. Mr. John BUCKNER and family of Leadwood were visiting friends and relatives near here this week. Alonzo and Roy THURMAN visited their grandmother, Mrs. EDWARDS of Esther, the first of the week.

He has gone to his reward and his name will be embalmed in the hearts of many as a precious memory of the dear old father who has gone to rest.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, April 28, 1910 Died, at the home of his parents at Mitcheltown, April 17th, 1910, of pneumonia, little Ancil Roscoe, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Polk. Little Ancil was born December 21st, 1909, and was therefore at the time of his death 3 months and 28 days old. All was done that medical skill and loving hands could do, but in vain, the death angel had called and the little fellow must go. Four physicians were in attendance at one time. Little Ancil's sojourn on earth was brief; he only came for a little while to bless the home and was called to be with Jesus. We would say to the grief-stricken parents to cheer up and look toward that city where there will be no nodding hearse plumes, no griefs or groans, births or burials, and say with the Patriarch Job: "The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." You cannot bring little Ancil back, but you can go to him; be thou faithful unto death. The funeral services were conducted by the writer at the home, after which the body of little Ancil was taken to Big River cemetery and deposited there to await that "great day." May "He, who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," comfort the bereaved ones. J. N. SITTON.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, April 28, 1910 IN MEMORIAM Alta Belle Delaney, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Delaney, and sister of Nettie Delaney, was born near Fredericktown, Mo., October 9th, 1894. Her beautiful spirit went home to God at eleven o'clock on Sunday night, April 17, 1910. Alta had been at the Deaconness Hospital in St. Louis for only four days where, acting on expert medical advice, she had been taken. Those of us who saw her the morning that she left her home had grave apprehensions, but she was bright and hopeful; and every moment of the thirty hours that she lived after the operation is made doubly sacred to her loved ones, because the purity and sweetness of her spirit grew stronger and more fragrant as the weakened body reluctantly let the spirit go out to God. When only eight years of age, on the occasion of Children's Day, at Flat River, Mo., under the ministry of Rev. L. F. Aspley, Alta united with the M.E. Church, South. So her first conscious decision was a decision for Christ. The impulse of that day grew stronger as the years were added to her life. Always she was ready to do her best. Gifted, her talent was not selfishly enjoyed, but her greatest satisfaction was found in being able to contribute this talent to the service of her Lord and His Church. In the circle of friends she was exceptionally genial and attractive. Her unalloyed joyfulness spread contagion. In the house she was the idol of devotion, and brought into the lives of the faithful mother, loving father and devoted sister the gladness of cheer, and filled the days with sunshine. Truly may we all say, who knew and loved her, "Through such souls alone God stooping shows sufficient of his light for us in the dark to rise by. And I rise." We miss her voice -- her absence brings loneliness. That is natural, but we do not mourn as those who have no hope. We do not say, Alta is dead. The pure in heart cannot see death; they see only God. Her life was filled with love, and God is love. Only when God's love has failed could her life fail. While God lives, she, too, in Christ shall live. "We inwardly treasure her features, Her virtues we cannot forget; They still, in degree, are our teachers, Their blessing abides with us yet. Borne onward by forces supernal, The boundaries of time she has crossed; But goodness and truth are eternal, And love sweet as hers is not lost." W. C.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, April 28, 1910 MRS. CATHERINE HEROD _________ Born January 22, 1815 -- Died April 21, 1910 _________ Mrs. Catherine Herod passed from death into life eternal at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, April 21, 1910, at her home in Farmington, after a brief illness of pneumonia, aged ninety-five years and three months, lacking one day. Mrs. Herod was born in St. Francois county, Missouri, January 22d, 1815. Her parents, William and Elizabeth Haile, came to Missouri in 1814 and settled at Cape Girardeau. From there they removed to St. Francois county, near French Village, where the subject of this sketch was born, and in this county she has lived ever since. Her father was of English descent and was born near Charleston, South Carolina. Her mother, Elizabeth Cornelous, was a native of Christian county, Ky. Mrs. Herod was named for her grandmother, Catherine Ferguson Haile, who lived to be one hundred and ten years old and cut a third set of teeth. She was married to Samuel B. Herod in 1859, and survived him twenty-seven years. She had no children, but her home was as dear to the hearts of her nieces as their own childhood home. Dear to their hearts today is the old stone house on the banks of Big River, with its long veranda, its green rolling yard, and the ample cellar, well filled with apples, cider and preserves, such as only "Aunt Kitty" could make. Not only was it home to her nieces, but the rich and the poor, the high and the low, all found a warm welcome there. We doubt if ever during her married life she and her husband ate a meal alone. After her husband's death she continued to live on her farm until about five years ago, when she moved to Farmington. "Aunt Kitty" was a type of the old-fashion woman who is fast passing away; one of those dear old souls in whose soft lap you would like to hide your face and take a good cry, and feel her gentle hand tenderly stroke your hair. She was a member of the Southern Methodist Church, one of nature's noble souls, whose Christian character and gentle deeds of kindness, consideration and ministration are worthy our emulation. Her life was one of "honest love, honest sorrow, honest work for the day, honest hope for the morrow," through which her domestic virtues shone lumuious and beautiful to the closing scene. In the twilight of life her gentle spirit passed beyond the horizon of time to the dawn of eternity, leaving a glow of sacred memories that cheer our hearts even in the sad hour of separation and tears. Funeral services were held at the home Friday afternoon, conducted by Revs. G. W. Harlan and Wm. Court. Interment at the family cemetery. Her nearest relatives are four [sic] nieces, Mrs. C. L. Norwine and Mrs. C. L. Snyder of Bonne Terre, Mrs. E. W. Cole of Fredericktown, Mrs. Mary Herod of Desloge and Mrs. Merrill Pipkin of Farmington.

According to the recent email where Betty Warner included the address of St. Francois County Place Names there is something of interest to me I need a little help with. Orten School, named in the Place Name articles was land that was donated by my great great grandfather, Nesbit Orten. In the above referenced article is listed a reference to an article in Farmington NEWS dated October 14, 1927. If anyone has access to these old newspaper records I would love to have a copy of that article. I'd also be interested in learning what is on that site in present day Desloge. Thanks to whoever can help. Karen Orten Cannon

Does anyone have information about Henry Slade's parents or family?  His sister, Martha Jane Slade , married John Thomas Wilson on 6/3/1883.  They had 5 daughters, Ida, Edith, Agnes, Katie, and Martha Virginia.

Railroad shops at Bonne Terre, committed suicide last Monday evening by taking carbolic acid. About three o'clock Monday afternoon he went into Romine's saloon and asked for paper and pencil, and receiving these passed on to a rear ware room. No further attention was paid to him until between eight and nine o'clock some one noticed a man lying in the ware room, and thinking he was asleep started to wake him up, when it was found that the man was Slade and that he was dead. Dr. J. H. English, County Coroner, was notified, and he went to Bonne Terre and held an inquest over the body Tuesday. A note which Slade had written to his wife was found, and from this it was inferred that he had had some trouble with her, as in the note he said he was sorry she "was mad at him," which was repeated twice, and hoped that she would forgive him; and he also named one of the children and said he hoped that he [sic] would be good to her [sic] mother. Slade was in the habit of imbibing at times, but was not considered a hard drinker, and witnesses testified that he had been drinking some when he entered the saloon, but was not much intoxicated, just enough to tell that he had been drinking. After taking the carbolic acid he recorked the bottle and replaced it in one of his pockets, where it was found. He leaves a wife and six children. The verdict of the Coroner's jury was suicide by carbolic acid. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MOSTFRAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
