6514	Stevensons arrived in Friendswood with a little help An 'angel' pointed the way KELLY ADAMS, Chronicle correspondent Published 5:30 am CDT, Thursday, September 6, 2001 Following is one in an ongoing series examining the story behind the names at prominent venues and facilities in the Clear Lake/Bay Area. The names of a middle school and a park are only the more apparent reminders of the deep roots the Stevenson family sank into Friendswood over the past century. Through the years, Stevensons have served in local positions including election judge, tax assessor, teacher, justice of the peace, notary public, Democratic precinct chairman and board member for the Quaker Academy. But the Stevensons' role in the community wouldn't have happened were it not for advice from someone whom family members came to believe was an angel. The first Stevensons -- Lowry, Lucinda and their children Guy, Vincent, Zue and a baby, Ward -- came to Texas from Missouri by wagon in the late 1800s. To make room for the family's possessions in the wagon, the children walked. The family first settled in a rough mill town in Montgomery County until a stranger, who stopped by the family's home seeking food and water, recommended the new Quaker settlement of Friendswood as a nice place to live. "The family always considered that he was an angel who had come to warn them that they were in the wrong place, and that they needed to come to a better place to raise their children," said Marjorie Brown, granddaughter of Zue Stevenson Bales. In 1899, four years after Friendswood was founded, the family boarded a train to Pearland and then walked to the small community. When they arrived, the Stevensons were not Quakers, who also are known as Friends. But that changed since Friends had the only church in the area. Friendswood Friends Church has had a lasting influence on the family, Brown said. The first year in Friendswood brought hard times. Scorching temperatures destroyed the crops, the Stevensons' baby died and the family lost its home to the 1900 Galveston hurricane. "Zue Bales remembered going into the garden and hanging onto the fence line, and she said the fact that her dress got caught on the barbed-wire fence was the only thing that kept her from blowing away," said Joycina Baker, author of Friendswood: A Settlement of Friendly Folk. However, the family decided to rebuild. In 1908, Lowry Stevenson bought 10 acres for $250 and started raising figs, which were grown on the land until the 1950s. Around that time, Friendswood was the fig capital of the Gulf Coast, Baker said. Besides farming, Stevenson held many positions in the growing town. He was on the board of the Quaker Academy, Friendswood's first official school, which opened in 1902. "He was an educated man and was important in building that part of the community when it was getting started," Baker said. In addition, Stevenson was the town's first justice of the peace and notary public. At the time, taking on many jobs was a way of helping the developing area. "The community was so tiny," Baker said. "When the community was started, there were about 25 people here. They all had their own niche. It took everybody to make the colony work." Stevenson also served as the community's first election judge until he died in 1918 at age 59. Son Vincent then assumed the position. Vincent Stevenson also was the first tax assessor for the Friendswood school district as well as a Democratic precinct chairman. He was an enterprising man who would drive into town for neighbors and bring back supplies for a small fee. Stevenson also was athletic and built the first tennis courts in Friendswood for his family on the Stevenson property. His sister, Zue Stevenson Bales, was respected as an educator. After attending the academy, she taught at the school and later became principal. After the death of her husband, Edward Bales, she spent many years as a missionary in Mexico and Central America. She died at age 89 in 1978. Today, the Zue Stevenson Bales Middle School, 302 Laurel Drive, honors her role in the community. Her descendants still live in Friendswood. Known for her strong mind and will, Bales also had a giving nature even when she relied on her family for money in her later years. It was the generosity of the third generation of Stevensons that made Stevenson Park off FM 518 available to the public. In 1973, five years after his death, the children of Vincent Stevenson sold the city 10.5 acres and donated another two on the condition that a park be built and named after the family. https://www.chron.com/neighborhood/baytown-news/article/Stevensons-arrived-in-Friendswood-with-a-little-2021346.php	Stevenson, Lowry David (22407883)

6527	Story by Pearl Lewis Lunt: "I asked why Grandma Nancy did not stay in New Mexico, why she came when she was older, but then returned to Texas. I was told that George went and got her cuz she was really old and getting in bad shape, she had very bad circulation and they just could not keep her warm. They said Pop (Mary McPeeters Lewis) would heat rocks an then wrap them in blankets and put all around Nancy, but she could keep her warm, that she was miserable and finally George put her in the wagon and took her home to Brown County. Everyone always said that Pop and Grandma did not get along well, that George being the oldest son was really favored in his mother's eye, that there was a lot of jealousy there with Pop. That Pop washed her clothes on a sand stone rock/stone, and while Grandma Nancy was living in NM George returned from one of his freighting trips or from somewhere and he brought pop a brand new washboard. Grandma Nancey was just so jealous and mad and thought the sandstone rock was fine to do washing on. Pearl was told that Grandma Nancy "messed" on Pop's washboard." Pearl Lewis Lunt I asked Aunt Pearl who told her this story and she said Aunt Nora (Nora Coffelt Lewis) and then she heard it several times from others. "it had really made an impression" is what Pearl said. (notha stevens)	Hatfield, Nancy Jane (30351872)

Dr. Poe told The Missourian this norming over telephone that he and other doctors who were with Miss McNeely trough the night, planned an autopsy today to determine definitely, if possible, the cause of her death. Miss McNeely had been feeling badly 10 days, according to Miss Alma Schrader, principal of May Green School. She had visited a physician Tuesday afternoon, when she could not get relief from intermittent attacks of dizziness. To Attend Meeting Miss Schrader had advised Miss McNeely that she should excuse herself from attending the teacher’s meeting in St. Louis, and rest through the weekend. However, Miss McNeely, apparently feeling it her duty, went with other Cape Girardeau instructors Wednesday night to St. Louis for the convention. During the Christmas holiday vacation three years ago Miss McNeely was stricken while at her parent’s home in Leemon. She was found in the garage in a dazed condition after she had driven her car into the building. Miss McNeely was a graduate of Teachers College here and had taught in schools of Pemiscot County. Since 1935 she had been on the May Greene School staff here, and was known as a teacher particularly able and conscientious. Surviving, besides her parentsare three sisters, Mrs. Poe, Mrs. Ted Regenhardt and Mrs. E. C. Tuschhoff of Old Appleton, the later being a twin. Dr. Poe said this morning plans were to send the body to Jackson today, and it was said that a Cracraft-Miller-Allen hearse went to St. Louis for the body expecting to return late today. Dr. Poe said tentative plans were to have the funeral Sunday afternoon. Miss McNeely belonged to the Fairview Methodist Church near Fruitland, and attended various churches in Cape Girardeau, including Centenary Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church.

6577	THE ENID EVENTS Enid, Garfield Co., OK November 2, 1939 Page 2, section A, column 6 Louis A. Wegener Louis August Wegener, well known pioneer citizen, passed away at his home, 1403 West Broadway, at 4 a.m. Monday morning, following a heart attack. He had attended church at Drummond Sunday evening, apparently in good health and felt the attack only a short time before death came. In his passing the county lost an outstanding citizen and one who strove to serve his fellow men. In early childhood, while learning reading, writing and arithmetic, he was taught the laws of God and man. Never did he forget that teaching and he always maintained a tolerance for the opinions of others. His daily life was a sermon of love. Those who were fortunate to know him have rich memories of a friend who at all times expressed love, wisdom, understanding and faith in all humanity. His was a friendship equal to any demand. Louis August Wegener was born at Bay, Missouri, Feb. 2, 1880 and passed away Monday, Oct. 30, 1939. His childhood and young manhood were spent in that vicinity. In 1911 he was married to Elizabeth Witte and they moved to Oklahoma buying a farm southwest of Drummond where they resided for six years. In 1917 he assumed management of the farmers elevator at Drummond and for 20 years was active in town, church and community affairs. For many years he served as mayor of the town and for 20 years was superintendent of the Salem Evangelical church. No one was better posted on local and national affairs and while conservative his decisions were always fair. He was an active worker in theRepublican party. Mr. Wegener was a conference member of the Evangelical church of Kansas Conference. He was treasurer of the Union Equity Farmers Elevator at Drummond at the time of his death. Surviving are his wife, two brothers, August Wegener and Henry Wegener of Napoleon, Mo., and five sisters, Mrs. John Erfman of Bay, Mo.; Mrs. Lizzie Seba and Mrs. John Brown of Drummond, Mrs. Henry Erfman of Bay, Mo., and Miss Anna Wegener of Drummond. There will be a short service in the Wegener home at 2 o'clock this afternoon. This will be followed by services in the Congregational church at Drummond. Burial will be in Del Norte cemetery.

6580	The following research courtesy LuAnn Elsinger - http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~elsinger/genealogy/gilliland/g0/p42.htm#i1258 I'm not sure who this Robert Gilliland was. The first census record that survived for Cocke County was in 1830. On it we find this Robert and his son William. They were listed on the same page as Esther, Caleb, and Rachel O'Dell. In 1833, there was a tract of land that was granted by the state of Tennessee to a John Gilliland in Cocke County that was originally entered by a Robert Gilliland. This land was on the waters of Cosby Creek, the same as where the lands were that were granted to Robert and a William back in 1810. This John Gilliland was in the 1840 and 1850 censuses for Cocke County and was most likely the one married to Elcie O'Dell. A male descendant of John and Elcie's was yDNA tested and found to be in Group 1. Also, there was another family of Gillilands in Cocke County, Tennessee in the late 1700s and very early 1800s. Those Gillilands were descendants of John Gilliland and his wife Elizabeth Young. While I can not be 100% certain that the 1830 Federal census record for Cocke County refers to this Robert's family and not the John Gilliland family (he also had a son named Robert but he was dead by July 1804 ), there is quite a bit of evidence to support the connection to this Robert. First are the ages of the men in the 1830 census. Most of John's sons were either dead or had moved out of Tennessee by 1830. Second, John did not have a son named William. Robert, on the other hand, as shown in later census records, did. And his age, as well as Robert's, is consistent with the ages found in the 1830 census record for Cocke County. Also, living in the same area in Cocke County in 1830 are families that married into Robert's family and moved with him as he went, first to Marion County, Tennessee, and later to Mi A Robert Gilliland, along with a William and James, were found in Cocke County in 1821.2 In the 1827 tax list for Cocke County there is just Robert listed.2 There was another family of Gillilands in Cocke County, Tennessee in the late 1700s and very early1800s. Those Gillilands were descendants of John Gilliland and his wife Elizabeth Young.

Also, living in the same area in Cocke County in 1830 are families that married into There were a series of land grants in Cocke County for a James, Robert and William Gilliland between the years of 1810 and 1836. The two grants for Robert Gilliland were in 1810 and 1833. (According to the website Cocke County, Tennessee; Early Settlers of the Old 12th District, those grants were "on the waters" of Cosby Creek). The Robert that was a son of John and Elizabeth Young Gilliland was dead by July 1804 so neither of these grants could have been for him. The land grant for James was dated 1835. At this point I don't know where James, the son of John, was in 1835. All that I know about him is that he was a Methodist preacher and married to the sister of James Axley. There were five land grants for a William Gilliland (also on Cosby Creek) and, asI mentioned before, John & Elizabeth did not have a son by the name of William.4,5 Robert Gilliland (assuming I have the correct Robert) appeared on the 1830 Federal Census of Cocke County, Tennessee, with a household listed as one male 10-14, one male 40-49, one male 50-59, and one female 15-19.6 He appeared on the 1840 Federal Census of Marion County, Tennessee, with a household listed as one male 5-9, one male 10-14, one male 15-19, one male 20-29, one male 60-69, one female under 5, one female 5-9, one female 20-29, and one female 60-69.7 He appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of District No. 76, Reynolds County, Missouri, enumerated 24 September 1850, living in the household of his son-in-law John Lane and his daughter Hepseba.1 Children of Robert Gilliland Elizabeth Gilliland8 b. c 1800 William Gilliland+ b. c 1805 Mary Hepsey (Hepseba) Gilliland b. c 1814 Citations 1.

"The History of Bedminster, Bucks County, Pennsylvania" states: “In the early I700 ’s there was a migration of Scotch-Irish from Northern Ireland This was due not from famine, but as a result of the Trade and Navigation Act passed by Parliament in I696. This Act classified Northern Ireland as if it were one of the colonies, as far as taxation was concerned. Many people faced complete financial ruin. The end result was a migration into the colonies. They preferred the wilderness to the cities. Not so much for the privacy, but to get away from the sight and sound of the British and British law which they felt had betrayed them. They journeyed out into the wilderness and finding land they liked which was unoccupied they squatted. They felt that God did not like idle land and if the Proprietors were not doing anything with the land why, then they would. And so they became squatters. They moved in, then had to be removed when the land was legally sold. This was one of William Allen's (a land propr “Active in the Deep Run Presbyterian Church in early time was ROBERT McNEELY.

They probably settled here AFTER 1741. There may have been a purchase agreement sat up with William Allen, but it never came into fruition. Allen ’s Estate sold...in 1801...

The end of the revolution proprietary land was now commonwealth land There would be patents and warrants issued into the mid eighteen hundreds in this area. As for the land that had been William Allen ’s the American government had confiscated it. A court battle ensued to regain the land by his estate, headed by Ann Penn Greenleaf Granddaughter of William Allen.

6584	The Glattfelder family originated in Glattfelden, Zurich, Switzerland. Most descendants of the family in America are from two brothers: Casper and Johan Peter Glattfelder. They were the sons of Felix Glattfelder, b. 1669. Casper, b. 1709 and Johan Peter, b. 1700 set out for the Carolinas in 1742. Johan Peter died in route and the two families returned to Glattfelden. The following year the two families left again for America, landing in Philadelphia 30 August 1743 on the ship "Francis and Elizabeth". Both families settled for a time in York County, Pennsylvania. Many of Casper's descendants are found there today. Soon after settling down however, two sons of Johan Peter, Felix and Johan Rudolf, left for North Carolina. Their descendants are found mostly in and around Davidson and Rowan Counties, North Carolina. This North Carolina branch changed the spelling of their name to Clodfelter. A daughter of Johan Peter, Lisabeth Glattfelder, married Jacob Rhyne. Their descendants are found largely in the Lincolnton-Gastonia area of North Carollina. Another sister, Barbara Glattfelder, married Johannes Hildebrand and stayed in the York County, Pennsylvania. The oldest son of Casper Glattfelder was Solomon by his first wife. He and his father had a falling out over a money matter. It is supposed that he may have changed his name to Glotfelty because of this. This family is mostly found in Garrett County, Maryland and Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Durst is also a prominant surname amongst the descendants of Solomon coming through Lightfoot John Durst.

6587	THE GREAT GALVESTON STORM The terrible hurricane struck Galveston September 8, 1900. This flood an wind almost destroyed Galveston and left Friendswood a wreck.... The Stevenson's had only recently moved to Friendswood and thier frail house was blown to splinters with them in it. Miraculously they had all escaped serious injury. As the storm let up they all got together and made their way to the Browns. They were all half frozen and besides themselves with fright. Mary Jane dragged her children out of the only warm bed and put Mrs. Stevenson and her little ones in their place... The Stevenson family who were the storm guest of the Browns for several weeks consisted of Laurie [Lowry] and Lulu and their children Guy, Zue and Vincent. Guy was about sixteen years of age and Zue and Vincent about ten and eight respectively. This is a part of the lives of the founding families of Friendswood found in The Promised Land by Edith B McGinnnis.	Stevenson, Lowry David (22407883)

They made their home near the Bethany community at first because they have two infants buried at Bethany Cemetery. The first buried in 1823 and Lise in 1824. Their first living child was born in 1829 so there may be more infants somewhere. They later moved to the Bethesda Methodist Church community, before the church was formed. Their first living son, Adam (6 May 1829-26 Jan 1905) married 25 Nov 1851 to Mary E. Kennedy; Joseph born 1832 married Catharine (unknown); Jacob born 1834; George (6 May 1836-13 March 1907) married Mary Jane Sink 17 Sept 1859; Eliza E.

Alexander Evans, son in law to Joseph and Charity, was a member of Shiloh Church and while visiting the old home community during a revival, was converted. He offered a brush arbor on his farm, which he and the neighbors built, and this arbor was later called Bethesda. "Aunt" Charity gave the following account of the happenings at this revival: "It seemed that Joseph Clodfelter was a good citizen, highly respected, a member of Pilgrim Church, but he allowed himself to grow cold and indifferent. Among other characteristics, he had a mind of his own. As the revival progressed, he attended regularly but took his seat at a rather far distant place from the pulpit. The good wife knowing the temperament of her husband, strongly advised all friends to refrain from personal advice or exhortation lest instead of making matters better it would likely cause the brother to leave the grounds and not return. Days went on and the brother continued to occupy his chosen place. All care was used to not speak to him on The deed to the original one and one half acres of ground was made 3 December 1870 by Joseph Clodfelter and his wife, Charity, to Alexander Evans, Adam Clodfelter, and David Clodfelter, the last 3 being the original trustees of the Church. Joseph and Charity Clodfelter are buried at Bethesda with at least four of their children and their families. David C. Clodtelter and Eliza Jane Hege were the parents of 5 children: Jacob Hugh (3 Nov 1872-30 Aug 908) married Sarah Clora Thomason (8 May 1878-6 July 1908) daughter of Huey Thomason and Mary Elizabeth Link; Robert L. born March 1880; Joseph E. born May 1882 and married Tillie Everhart 23 Dec 1904; Ida Jewel born May 1884 married Lorenzo (Renzo) Thorn-ton Wagoner 26 Nov 1907. Ida died 10 Nov 1956 and is buried at Bethesda beside her husband; Frank Lineberry born 16 May 1899 died 1 July 1954 is also buried at Bethesda. David was able to farm and to raise 5 children with a handicap. A farm wagon ran over his legs when he was a child and the legs refused to grow. He had the body of a full grown man and the short legs of a child. The first burial at Bethesda cemetery was a child of David and Eliza Clodfelter. David's was the first adult burial. Jacob Hugh Clodfelter and Sarah Clora Thomason married 23 February 1893 in the office of Justice of the Peace H.D. Hedrick, in Welcome, NC. Sarah was a native of Welcome and Jacob's farm was not far away. There were 8 children, 6 lived into adulthood. An infant died at birth in 1895 and the youngest daughter Elma Ray died at the age of four months. Jacob, Sarah and Elma Ray died within 2 months time of colitis.

Watson of Flat River, was born January 27, 1921. He attended the Junior College from September, 1939, to December, 1940. Being a member of the National Guard, he was called into active service before completing the first semester of his sophomore year in Junior College. He was first sent to Camp Robinson, Arkansas and later to California. During his training he never lost touch with the Junior College. Through the school paper and correspondence with friends and teachers he kept up with activities around the College. The same thing held true while he was serving as a machine gunner in the infantry during the Aleutian campaign. Willard wanted to be a flyer. All during the hardships of warfare in the frozen North, he never gave up hope that some day he would become a pilot. He studied and worked constantly toward that end, and at last he got his chance. He was returned to the States for training in the air corps, and his first mission was to visit the Junior College and spread the good news among friends. Soon thereafter he was sent to California to begin his training. As usual he kept up his correspondence with friends around the College, sometimes dropping into the U. S. O. to make a recording instead of writing the conventional letter. During his period of' training, the biggest news he passed along was that on December 11, 1943, he married Wana L. Lewis of Des Arc. After taking his preliminary flight training in California, Willard was sent to a field at Pecos, Texas, where he was graduated and received his commission as second lieutenant. Shortly thereafter, in the summer of 1944, he returned to the Junior College for a visit, quite proud of his wings and his bride, who accompanied him on the visit. Not long after his visit here, Willard was sent overseas, and on September 28, 1944, he met death in an aircraft crash near Chartres, France.	Lewis, Wana Luetta (43325281)

McFarland and wife Agnes, in consideration of the Sum of $700 to us in hand paid by Alexander K. Stevenson, do by these presents remise, release and forever quit claim to the said A.K.S. his heirs and assigns a certain tract or parcel of land lying in the W ½ of SE ¼ of Sec 8 Twp. 33N. Range 13E in the district of Cape Girardeau, Mo., containing 80 acres be the same more or less. Also a second tract of land, purchased from Thomas Wilson the 20th day of May 1826 containing 10 acres. Also a third tract or parcel of land lying and being in the NW ¼ of Sec. 17 Twp. 33N, Range 13E containing 25 acres more or less. We set our hands and seal this 15th day of Sept. 1837. This is how these parcels of land got into the Stevenson family. There were other transactions, these were the first. I have the original deed for the 80 acres to Mitchel Fleming signed by President James Monroe. I have deeds for other parcels of land signed by other Presidents they are all signed by someone else. September 1837 Alexander K. Stevenson became the owner of the house and land that Robert McFarland started, There were three children born there by 1844. Julia, Linley, and Mary Jane who died in infancy. Alexander’s wife Margaret died about this time. Then he married Elizabeth Clodfelter 4 Dec 1845. They had seven children, five boys and two girls. These children all went to the Old Shawnee School that was located on the property line that was between my granddad’s place and his Uncle Lynn Clodfelter’s place. It must have been started in the 1840s. When I was a little kid, great-grandma Boren used to walk over to the old house quite often to visit my mother. They were grinding horseradish in the kitchen one morning, Great-Grandma said, when she was a little girl she went to school in that old kitchen. That would be in the 1830s. The kitchen was very likely built by Bob McFarland in the 1820s; to live in while the big log house was being built. It sat away from the log house three or four feet. When my Dad bought the place he had it built onto the house. Around 1880 District #3 built a new school house on the road between New Wells and Shawneetown. When the districts were consolidated, the new school was sold and is now a blacksmith shop. The old Shawnee School was done away with immediately. The land that it occupied would go back to the land owners. Granddad figured half of the building was on his land, Uncle Lynn figured it was all on his land. As the story goes there was a little fist fight there, I don’t think there were any referees around. It was the custom on a line fence, you built half and your neighbor built half. Grand-dad started the fence from his corner, and the last post was set in the middle of the school property. Uncle Lynn started from his corner and his last post took all of the school property. Until this day you can go there and see the jog in the fence right where the old school house set. The new school was where my dad and his brothers, and “we boys” went to school. I remember Uncle Amos was visiting us from Farmington. Mom was fixing the lunch boxes for us to take to school. Uncle Amos said when he was a boy in that same house his mother had one big basket. She put the lunch in for all of them it took two to carry it to school. There was always an argument as to who was going to carry it home. All of Alexander’s children got their start in school in the Old Shawnee School. Some of them got more schooling at Oak Ridge and Fruitland. Hugh was the only one that made teaching his career. I don’t think Lowery and Amos ever taught school. When the Civil War was over Amos and John Trickey went to Kansas to homestead land around Winfield, 1869 to 1870. My granddad and Theodore helped them move. My grand-dad rode a horse, Theodore drove a wagon. This was just the time that Jesse James was starting his career, I asked granddad if he carried a pistol. He said one of his friend offered the loan of his pistol but he didn’t take it he carried a shotgun. Theodore married Julia Hinkle 15 August 1871. He taught school for a couple of years. Then in the Spring of 1875 he decided to go to Kansas and be with his brother, Amos, close to Winfield, Kansas. As A.C. Stevenson’s Book (diary) as he called it, he bid Miss M.J. (as he called Julia Margaret) adieu. Monday morning the 5th day of April 1875 he climbed into the wagon with Theodore and his wife and stared for Kansas. His diary speaks for its self about the trip. He didn’t stay in Kansas very long, he took a train from Wichita to Denver for his health. Wyatt Earp was the Marshal of Wichita in 1875. He stayed in Denver until the first of November then he took the train back to St. Louis, visited his uncle, Harvey Stevenson and other friends. Left St. Louis 5 Nov 1875, on the Belle of Memphis for Wittenberg, arrived there 12 noon on the 6th. Mr. Ude was there with the freight wagon from New Wells store, he gave him a ride home. Granddad left Missouri a 90 pound weakling. He weighed 105 pounds when he came back but he still complained, The 6th January 1876, he and Miss Julia Boren were married. There was no more complaining in his dairy. They went to parties, danced and had a good time. He quit writing in his book 29 Oct, 1876. Alexander had the farm all to him self the boys were all gone but A.C. They divided the farm, A/C. took the north half of the 80 acres in the bottom, bought more ridge land and started digging a cistern, where his house was going to be built. It was a good quarter of a mile north of the old log house. Before he got it finished, he took the postmaster job at Neelys Landing. I’ve heard my grandma say, when they drove up to that big house on the bank of the river, she couldn’t hardly make herself get out of the wagon. She didn’t like it there. She said at nite you could hear big chunks of the bank falling into the river. They didn’t stay there but about a year. They moved to Pocahontas and stayed there a couple of years. They lived in the same house that they bought back in 1921 to live out their retirement years from 1923 til 1942 in Pocahontas. By 1880 Amos and Theodore were in Kansas, Hugh was away teaching school. Lowery had gone to Illinois. Philip Clodfelter had come to the old log house to spend his last years with his daughter Elizabeth. She got 10 acres of his bottom land for this service. Philip was a care to take care of. Elizabeth had her two girls to help but Alexander had no one to help with the farm, and he was in poor health. Grand-dad moved back to the house he had started when he got married. He would be close to the old folks and could help on the farm. Lowery had married Lulu Jones in Illinois. He came back about this time to help run the farm. He didn’t move in with the old folks. He built a little bungalow about fifty yards west of the old log house. Philip Clodfelter died 11 March 1881 and Alexander K. died of cancer 16 Dec. 1881. This left the running of the farm up to Lowery. He was crippled, born with a deformed foot, didn’t look like he could do much work. Granddad said he really put that old farm in shape. Besides raising good crops, he had good stock. He split rails and built fences. There was no stock law, the country was open range. He fenced his fields to keep his stock in, instead of keeping stock out. I saw him one time, in the Spring of 1917 he came up from Texas on a visit. My dad had just bought a Moline tractor. We kids walked around the place with him. He told us lots of thing about the place, a lot I can’t remember. He went back to Texas and a year later, March 1918 he was standing on the back step of his mail hack when the horse bolted, it jerked him off he fell hit his head on the sidewalk and died in Galveston, Texas. He ran the farm until Jamima Jane (Aunt Jennie) married John T. McNeely and moved to Leemon. My dad said he remembered his Aunt Jennie’s wedding, the year 1889. They were married in the log house. Dad said he remembered playing with Lowery’s boy, Guy, on the floor while the wedding was going on. Lowery could see that after Jennie left that it wasn’t going to be too many more years until his mother was going to have to have more care than he could provide. He and Amos agreed to swap places. He went to Kansas and Amos came back to the old home place. My dad said that this swap wasn’t with wagons through the Ozarks but by boat to St. Louis and train to Wichita, Kansas. Amos had three girls and a boy: Eura, Daisy, Bessie and Carl. They moved into the bungalow that Lowery vacated. They lived there until Rosa died, then they moved into the log house to take care of grandma. There was a mother and three girls to take care of one old lady. There was some one to do the cooking, some one to do the house cleaning, the garden, taking care of the chickens, milking the cows, everything. All that grandma had to do was, sit down and take it easy. For an old lady that had done everything for herself for seventy or more years, to sit down and watch some one else do the work was just impossible. I’ve heard my dad say that she never just walked casually, she went she had a given amount of time to get there. When I was with my dad the last few years of his life, we sat at the table in his mobile home and looked across the yard to his granddaughter’s house. When Katherine came out of the house to get the mail or go to the little store across the road, dad would say there is grandma. They both walked like they had been sent for. Grandma just couldn’t adjust to so many young girls that were willing to do all the work. It wasn’t but just a little while after Amos moved into the log house, that she went to Leemon to live with her daughter Jamima Jane McNeely. She died there 28 Nov, 1910. Mr. Sadler was teaching Shawneetown School that year. He wanted to go to Indian Creek that weekend. Dad took him down in the buggy. When he came back over Kneebo hill, Uncle John was out at his mailbox, Dad said he told him that grandma was very low. The next day she died and was buried in Apple Creek Cemetery, Pocahontas, Mo. This brings things up to the turn of the century. The old folks were all gone, their children were all out on their own. Amos on the old home place with three girls and a boy. My grandad, Alpheus C. on his place with three boys and a girl. This generation was growing up in the same area that two generations had grown up before them. These children all went to the public school at Shawneetown. There were no automobiles or telephones in this part of the county yet. The Germans that settled at Wittenberg in 1839 were spreading out fast. They were all Lutherans, a church was built in New Wells about the time of the Civil War. One at Shawneetown right after the turn of the century, then on to Pocahontas. The Methodists built Epworth Church west of Shawneetown about the same time. The Presbyterian Church at old Apple Creek was losing members, its days were numbered. Epworth lasted about ten or fifteen years. In 1902 Roy, my dad, and John McNeely, a neighbor boy, decided to go to the Normal (Teachers College) at Cape Girardeau. Amos’ boy Carl was a year older than my dad. He went to a Methodist college to be a preacher. After a couple of years of college Roy got a teachers permit. This gave him a chance to make a little money so he could go back to school for another year or to to summer school. The World’s Fair was in St. Louis in 1904 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. That was a big event. The students got a special rate on the Frisco railroad. It had just been completed from St. Louis to Memphis, Tenn. Dad taught his first school at Wittenberg the winter of 1904 & 1905. That summer he stayed home and helped his dad build a new house. The kitchen of the old house was moved around a little and lived in the while the old house was torn down and the new house put in the same place. Caleb Meyer, from Altenburg, was the carpenter that built the house. My dad heard the story about Theodore Mitchel’s bet from Caleb. I have it on tape but will tell it here. Wilkerson Mill was a water mill on the Perry County side of Apple Creek, on the road from New Wells to Altenburg. It was a place where men went on business and to get the latest news around the country. When a man took a load of wheat or corn to the mill he wasn’t expected to get home too early. Cleveland and Harrison were running for President the year 1892. A political argument was the easiest thing to get started at the Mill that year. Zisky was the miller, he was all for Cleveland for President. Theodore Mitchel was for Harrison fro President. One day in a heated argument, Theodore told Zisky that if Cleveland won he would push him up to Walters store on the main road and back to the mill in a wheelbarrow. If Harrison won Zisky would push him. That was a bet, the nite was agreed on to settle the bet. Zisky made plans for a big celebration that nite. He had the band from Altenburg and Frona, the beer wagon was there from Wittenberg with plenty of beer. He was going to have a celebration win or loose. When the election was over Cleveland won. The nite the bet was to be paid off Theodore didn’t show up. The party went on at the mill, it wasn’t what it would have been had all parties shone up. The Christmas program at the Grange Hall in Shawneetown there was a little red wheelbarrow on the Christmas tree for Theodore Mitchel. When Santa Claus gave it to him he took it out in front of the hall, set a match to it and burned it up. A. C. Stevenson’s house was finished the summer of 1905. Amos was still living in the old log house, but the time was coming for a new generation to occupy it.	Stevenson, Lars Meredith (26447164)
6598	The original St. Paul’s Cemetery was located in the City of St. Louis at Kingshighway and Gravois and Wilmington Roads. Established by the St. Paul Evangelical Church about 1849, it was expanded into a second section between Gravois and Kingshighway in 1893. However, when the city began to widen those roads, the cemetery closed, and, in 1925 and 1926, some graves were moved from the old St. Paul’s cemetery to the present location; those names are included in our index. However, other names for burials at the original location between 1856 and 1926 may be missing from our index because those cemetery records apparently no longer exist. Alternative records for the earlier years might be found in church or civil death registers.- stlgs.org	Heberer, Edward Jr. (13352432)

6600	THE REPUBLICAN RIVER FLOOD OF 1935 On May 30, 1935, torrential rains fell in eastern Colorado and southwestern Nebraska; by early morning of the 31st, the usually peaceful Republican River was running bluff-to-bluff along its upper reaches. When the waters subsided two days later, over 100lives had been lost and many millions of dollars of damage had been done. A number of persons from this community were drowned. After the prolonged drouth of the early 30's, the wet spring of 1935 had brought welcome relief to the region. By the end of May, however, the soil was nearing the saturation point. The rains of May 30th, concentrated in the basin of the South Fork and extending into the valleys of the Arikaree, Frenchman, Red Willow, and Medicine, poured into the main stream--normally 300 to 400 feet wide, turning it into a raging torrent one to four miles wide. The flood water came as a wall, variously estimated at from three to eight feet in height. The advance of the crest was more rapid in the upper valley, reported at ten miles an hour above Trenton, at five between there and Oxford, and slowing to 2 1/2 miles an hour upon crossing over into Kansas. To prevent the repetition of such a tragedy the federal government has built a series of six dams, five in Nebraska, across the Republican or its tributaries, serving not only as flood protection, but providing recreation and irrigation facilities as well.
