Thanks Kay! I too wondered about the name Peam Pear and wondered if he was related to the person named Fain Pair in another article. Fain was supposedly was in charge of the boarding home where the shooting occurred. The newspapers back then didn't worry too much about proper spellings of names and often spelled names as they sounded. Most all of the Buxton children ended up in the Children's Home at Farmington after the shooting of their mother and incarceration and subsequent death of their father which is where they stayed until the eldest children got old enough to leave the home and then they took the younger children in. One of the daughters of Wm. and Jane Buxton, Clara Marie Buxton, died at age 13 following an operation for appendicitis. According to her obit she was 2 when the shooting occurred and she lived at the Children's Home in Farmington for several years but was living in the home of her brother, Harold Buxton, at the time of her death. Another daughter, Jewell Buxton, married Clay Mullins. I believe that this may be the same Clay Mullins who served three terms as Sheriff of St. Francois County. How's that for an ironic twist?
