Why not try the State of North Carolina? There were Swearingens [whatever spelling] in North Carolina. And before that in the State of Virginia. In NC you might just try first the area around Taylorsville and then back to the Alamance, Chatham, and Orange Cos. As one person called me on this list -- a SCAM -- I think that my above infor belays that title!!! BTW, one of my lines were in Madison prior to 1840 and other of that line stayed with them in 1870ish. Another line came in before 1830. And my grandfather was a mining supervisor in all the lead mines. Since there were no telephones, etc, a man on horseback had to go out and find him when there was water in the mines. He supervised the setting up of the mining exhibit at the St Louis World's Fair. And some of the equipment I saw in Missoula, Mt, in the early 1970's. Grandpa did not have to go down in the mines to work, he was called upon for his knowledge. His second wife's first cousin's husband told me not to let anyone tell me differently -- he was a mechanical genius. His son from his first marriage said that a whistle from the mines that my grandfather had made or designed still blew in 1954 some place. It was not small. My Conwys/Conways in Shannon Co had relatives in Reynolds Co. Alanna and I resented being called a SCAM!!!! --- On Mon, 12/1/08, MehdiFakhar@aol.com <MehdiFakhar@aol.com> wrote: From: MehdiFakhar@aol.com <MehdiFakhar@aol.com> Subject: Re: [MOSTFRAN] Buxton To: donaldyeager@charter.net, mostfran@rootsweb.com Date: Monday, December 1, 2008, 8:28 PM I don't know whether to thank Bettye or not for the Buxton murder article (-: It certainly has caused me to use alot of time being nosy.... Following up on Donald Yeager and Bettye's notes- I tried to find the Sweringen family of Jane Buxton prior to 1910 - without luck - the St. Francois obit webpage lists the following spellings for Laura Jane's maiden name, but none of the obits mentioned her as a daughter or sibling... Swaringam Swaringim Swaringin Swearengen Swearingen The marriage of William/Jane Buxton: William Buxton of St. Francois Co., Mo. over 21; Miss Jane Swaringame of St. Francois Co., Mo. over 18; 1 March 1901 license; married on 1 March 1901 by Jere S. Gossom, Judge of Probate at Farmington, St. Francois Co., Mo. I also played around with the surnames Pear, Pair, etc. - the man [Peam Pear/Fain Pair - even tried PH vs. F - without luck] blamed for Jane's mischief. Since I don't have access to the websites I used to use, my online resources are limited, though. It would seem that he was the same man -and- that he ran the boarding house on East Main street [in the same block as the Silsby building] - especially since this is where Jane was at the time William Buxton shot her. Question: The family lived on Taylor Street in 1910 - did they move to East Main and stay at the boarding house by 1917? And how could Jane make/refuse to make dinner if they were at a boarding house? Didn't find an obit, census or marriage for Pearl Buxton Potts, etc. The only Pott/Potts listing was for: 1920 1-WD ELVINS, ST FRANCOIS,MO B.J. POTTS, Sr. 34 M W MO - was married to someone else in 1920 w/ children? Also, I can't find any of the Buxton children in 1920 - they aren't listed under the Buxton surname (Harold/Harry, Pearl, Truman, Clara, or otherwise) and they aren't listed in the Presbyterian Orphanage (4-WD, Farmington, Cayse Ave/Liberty Street, Sheets 15A & 15B, page 283 - I checked line by line. Is the Tipton, MO that is mentioned in the obits, Tipton of Washington County, or the town Tipton in Montibeau Co.? This was the obit Bettye mentioned for Clara Buxton, who died at age 13 (it's interesting that Harold Buxton moved back to Taylor Ave per Clara's obit - the same street where the family lived per the 1910 census). Lead Belt News, Flat River, St. Francois County, Missouri, Friday, Feb. 4, 1927. Clara Marie BUXTON, daughter of the late William and Jane BUXTON, was born at Esther. She died in St. Louis in Barnes' Hospital where she had been the past three weeks, following an operation for appendicitis. She was 13 years of age and was a student in the eighth grade of Desloge School. Her mother died when she was 2 years old and her father when she was 6. She was in the Presbyterian Orphanage at Farmington for several years, but was making her home now with her brother, Harold BUXTON, formerly of Cantwell, but recently moved on Taylor Avenue. Her body was brought to her brother's home Wednesday evening and funeral services will be held at the Flat River Baptist Church this afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. E. D. Owen. Interment will be in the K. of P. Cemetery at St. Francois. Girls of her class in school will act as pall bearers and flower girls. She was a member of the Baptist Church and was loved by all who knew her. She leaves two sisters, Mrs. Jewell Mullins of St. Francois, and Mrs. Pearl Potts of Farmington, Route 4. Also three brothers, Harold and Leo of Flat River, and Truman of Tipton, Mo. I'm going to try to officially zap the curiosity bug for the name Buxton now. -Kay --------------------------------------------------- In a message dated 11/30/2008 9:56:28 AM Eastern Standard Time, donaldyeager@charter.net writes: > > Kathleen was my mother's sister.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, February 16, 1911 MR. KUGEL TO RETIRE FROM ACTIVE BUSINESS Mr. A. Kugel, who for more than thirty-three years has been engaged in the mercantile business in Farmington, last week disposed of his stock of goods to G. Graham and some other St. Louis parties, who arrived here yesterday and took charge of the store. Perhaps no man in the county is more widely known among our people than Mr. Kugel. He came here in 1877 and embarked in the mercantile business, his brother-in-law, Mr. Marx, being associated with him for about three years. Farmington then was a small village of 700 or 800 inhabitants, and a large part of the present Farmington was forest and field. There were then only about five brick houses in the town, and he has watched its growth to its present dimensions and helped to make it grow. Of the merchants who were his contemporaries none now remain unless we except Mr. Jacob Helber, who was then as now engaged in the hardware business. He was the first to open up a local market for the farmers' grain, his first deal in that line being two carloads of wheat which he bought in the spring of 1878 from the late Peter Doss and John R. Murphy. Now, Farmington, with its two large mills, is one of the best wheat markets in this part of the State. Mr. Kugel had a good many ups and downs, but with persistence, close attention to business and a determination to succeed, he triumphed over all obstacles and is today comfortably fixed. But for an accident a couple years ago which crippled him in one ankle and the declining health of his good wife, who has been a great help to him all these years in his business, he might probably have kept on -- but the strain was too much and he decided some months ago to retire and take a much needed rest. Mr. Kugel has valuable property interests here, is one of the principal stockholders in the St. Francois Hotel Association, and will continue to make his home in Farmington. We understand that the new management is preparing to make a rush sale of the present stock before putting in a new line.

FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, February 16, 1911 MRS. MARTY Mrs. Martha Marty, beloved wife of Joseph Marty, died at her home in Leadwood, after a lingering illness, and was brought to Farmington Friday for interment in the Masonic cemetery. Mrs. Marty was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Pelty and was born in St. Louis March 17, 1878, and came to Farmington when an infant with her parents the latter part of that year, and was reared here. Besides her bereaved husband she leaves three little sons and a daughter, three sisters, Miss Gertie Pelty of Farmington, Mrs. Pauline Dietrich of Knob Lick and Mrs. Bessie DeStaflano of Chicago, and two brothers, Barney and Gus Pelty of Farmington. The family of sisters and brothers were very much attached to her, and the sympathy of a large circle of friends goes out to them and the motherless children in this sorrow that has come into their lives.

I was just curious on this child's death and saw the death certificate. Myself being Catholic would assume Mary was the child's baptismal name. You know how we love to dig. _http://www.sos.mo.gov/TIF2PDFConsumer/DispPDF.aspx?fTiff=/archives/DeptofHeal th/Death/1914/1914_00009790.TIF&Fln=15233.pdf_ (http://www.sos.mo.gov/TIF2PDFConsumer/DispPDF.aspx?fTiff=/archives/DeptofHealth/Death/1914/1914_00009790.TIF &Fln=15233.pdf) In a message dated 11/29/2008 4:19:15 P.M.

I have just added an article to the St. Francois MoGenWeb site which concerns the death of a man by the name of R. E. Priest at Farmington in 1916. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mostfran/prohibition/john_barleycorn_victim_1916.htm B. Warner
Bonne Terre Register, Bonne Terre, MO, Friday, June 23, 1916. BOYS RELATE DETAILS OF FOREIGNER'S DEATH. Followed the Russian a Mile and Then Club Him to Death and Rob Him. At a preliminary hearing of Frank Hill and John Whitt at Flat River Monday morning charged with the murder of Bumistow Branowich, a Russian who was found dead on Tuesday morning of last week near the Federal Lead Company's offices, the young men practically admitted to having committed the crime. That is they told the same story as to how the foreigner came to his death but each told that the other fellow struck the lick that caused the death. The story they tell is that during the afternoon one said to the other "Let's get a Hunkie tonight" to which the other agreed. After supper the boys went up town and were in the small restaurant at the upper end of Main Street when the 9 o'clock train came in. This foreigner got off the train and passed the restaurant when one said "There is a Hunkie let's get him." They followed him and as they passed a blacksmith shop Hill picked up a piece of buggy shaft that had an iron on the end of it. Whitt found a piece of iron. They followed the man keeping about two hundred yards in the rear until he turned over Federal Hill and here they caught up with him and Whitt says Hill struck Branowich with the stick. Hill says Whitt struck the man with the iron. The general opinion of those who know the boys is that Hill is the one that killed the man, however both are thought to be equally guilty. Whitt was suspected and arrested and told the officers that he had seen Hill kill the foreigner. Hill fled the county but got no further than Barnhart in Jefferson County where he felt so good over the affair that he was bragging about it. The officers were notified and he was brought back. Robbery was the motive for the murder but they got no money. All they found was a bottle of whiskey which they took with them and drank. Hill who is about 22 years old is said to be a degenerate and so brutal that he acts at times like a crazy man. While discussing the killing he laughed and joked about it. It is not the first time he has been in trouble. Not long ago he was arrested and put in jail for fighting foreigners. He would walk along the street until he came to a foreigner and then knock him down and go on to find another. He kept this up till he had attacked more than a dozen in one day. Hill and Whitt are cousins. Whitt claims to be about 17 years old. ===================== In the same issue: TWO MEN SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT. On Wednesday morning three pleas of guilty were entered in the Circuit Court before Judge Huck and at 1:30 that afternoon a Deputy Sheriff bought three one-way tickets for transportation to the State Prison at Jefferson City. Frank Hill and John Whitt plead guilty to having assaulted, robbed and beaten to death a foreigner on Federal Hill last week. Hill was captured by the authorities at Kimswick where he was taken in custody of Deputy Sheriff Brown. Their preliminary hearing was held before Justice Ramsey at Flat River Tuesday. Each was given a life sentence. Charles Babel [Bable ?] of Flat River plead guilty to having forged the name of G. Harris to a check for ten dollars drawn on the Bank of Flat River and which he cashed at the Citizens Bank of Desloge. His sentence was two years in the penitentiary.
Hello- I am searching for information about my Great Grandparents, John Komar and Mary Repko Komar. Their children were born in Bonne Terre. According to 1900 Census for County of St. Francois (Perry Township) the Komar name is Kamer. Names listed are: Mary Kamer (1885), John Kamer (1888-89), Dora Kamer (1892)....my grandmother, Anna (1894), Barbra (1898). My Grandmother only sibling not born in Missouri. She was born in New York. Any help about this family is appreciated. Thank you, Rick
St. Francois County Record, Elvins, Missouri, Friday, June 23, 1916. STARTLING STORY OF GREWSOME MURDER. Hill-Whitt Trial Attracts Large Crowd to Judge Ramsey's Court Room Tuesday -- Each Defendant Lays Crime on Other. One of the most thrilling recitals of crime ever told in justice court in St. Francois county perhaps was that of Frank Hill and John Whitt in Judge Ramsey's court at Flat River Tuesday when these two young men were on preliminary trial for a murderous assault committed on the night of June 12th and resulting in the death of a foreigner. In some of the minor particulars, the testimony of the two agreed, but in the most vital particulars there was the widest disagreement. For instance, each told of how they had visited Manley & Maurer's blacksmith shop in Flat River and procured the implements with which the attack was later made - one a piece of iron pipe two feet in length and the other a piece of buggy shaft. Each told, also, of how they followed the victim of their foul assault as he went east over the bridge, through Norwine town and on to the trail that leads to the foreign quarters; but as to the assault itself the two tell a different tale. Whitt, in a statement at the time of his arrest, the next day after the crime was committed, said that Hill struck the blow that felled the foreigner and in his testimony in the preliminary trial he maintained that this was true, merely admitting that he had accompanied Hill and that he saw Hill hit the man. Hill in his testimony at the preliminary swore that the opposite was true as to the first blow. He said that Whitt knocked the man down with the iron implement; that the man was about to get up and that he (Hill) jumped on him and dealt him a second blow. Both agreed as to taking the man's valise and pocketbook, and the manner of opening the valise by "jumping on it with their feet and bursting it open," of the contents of the grip -- three pints of whiskey, a quart of wine and a suit of clothes. The pocketbook they said they did not open until later and only found 14 cents in it. And at this point they related as to how the unfortunate victim of their brutal assault had said, when they took his pocketbook, "Me no got money." The defense presented but one witness and her testimony was of no importance. There were ten or twelve witnesses for the State; among the latter were some who testified that they had met the defendants on the night of the crime and had been offered a "drink" by them; others saw them board the train at the I.S. station soon after the crime was supposed to have been committed. Then there were the officers who had later made the arrest and Parkhurst Sleeth who had taken the foreigner to St. Louis before he died, and others all bearing on the guilt of the defendants. Among the witnesses for the State was Charles Newman, an officer of Jefferson County who arrested Hill. The arrest was made at Barnhart last Friday night. As related by Mr. Newman, the two had met in a saloon and after entering into conversation, Hill became very talkative, relating incidentally that he was a deputy under Sam Doss; that he had been entrusted to hold a prisoner - a foreigner and while thus engaged the man had attempted to escape and he (Hill) had shot him. Newman arrested Hill and took him to Kimswick - later turning him over to the officers of this county. Among the witnesses summoned but who failed to arrive in time to testify were C. J. Harmon, conductor and W. E. Acuff, brakeman, on the I. S. local which left the Flat River station at 10:30 o'clock on the night that the crime was committed. They said that Hill and Whitt boarded the local at the water tank and got off at the "Y" at Esther and that they thought no more of them until they missed their supper which Hill and Whitt are supposed to have taken from the caboose during their absence. An important witness in the case was G. W. Pipher, a Federal watchman. It was his first night on the job and he was stationed in a building near where the assault was made, so near in fact that he heard the wounded man's groans and went several times to where the man was lying but believing the man drunk did not offer any aid. He said the man was lying with his face down and was shivering as if suffering from cold. When it became light enough to see he summoned a foreigner who lived close by and together they investigated and found the man was unconscious from a blow which he had received on the head. They reported the case, with results as formerly told in the Record. Hill and Whitt were taken to Farmington and being arraigned in Circuit Court Wednesday morning both plead guilty to a charge of murder and were sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary - and an officer started with them in the afternoon, going upon the 3 trail. Note: According to an article published in the Bonne Terre Register (which I'll post separately), the name of the victim was Bumistow Branowich, who was a Russian.
