Goodspeed's History of Obion County, TN:

Alfred Naylor may be mentioned as one of the prominent farmers of Obion County, Tenn. His birth occurred in Pulaski County, Ky., December 8, 1807, the eldest of a family of ten children — seven sons and three daughters — all of whom are living. His parents, John and Sarah (Woodfin) Naylor, were born in Maryland, and North Carolina, respectively, and after their marriage in the latter State, moved to Kentucky. After residing in Pulaski County a few years, they came to Bedford Co., Tenn., and followed farming until the father’s death in 1854. From that time until her death, in 1856, the mother was a resident of Obion County. At the early age of twenty-one, Alfred Naylor began merchandising in Rutherford county, continuing about two years. He then moved to Fulton County, Ky., where he was engaged in wool carding and farming, about eighteen years, and in 1850 came to Obion County, Tenn., and located on his present farm of 200 acres of fine land, near Union City, along the line of the Mobile & Ohio R

Information from Al Cuite:
According to Eric Woodfin Naylor, who was raised in Obion County, and still owns some of the family farms there, Sarah Woodfin Naylor was buried in the Thompson-Naylor Cemetery. There are only four graves that are marked including Sarah’s son Woodfin Naylor and his wife Ellenor, great-grandparents of Eric Woodfin Naylor, He has always been told that Sarah Woodfin Naylor was buried there although there is no marker.

From Goodspeed's History of Bedford County -

MOSES WOODFIN, farmer, was born in Bedford County, Tenn., March 7, 1829, and of English-Irish lineage.

His father, Samuel Woodfin, was born in Buncomb County, North Carolina, in 1791, and about 1815 married Maria Barnhill, a native of South Carolina, born December 9, 1798, and to them were born fifteen children. The father died April 29, 1863, and the mother
in the same county March 8, 1863.

Our subject received a good practical education and has followed farming as his chief occupation. He learned the trade of wheelwright which he followed in a regular way for over fifteen years. At the breaking out of the war he enlisted in the Confederate Army, Forty-fifth Tennessee Infantry, and participated in the battles of Murfreesboro, Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge. At Chickamauga he was wounded and at Missionary Ridge he was wounded again, captured, and taken to Rock Island, Ill., where he remained a prisoner until the end of the war.

September 11, 1856, he was married to Miss Rachel A. Clark, daughter of William Clark, and the fruits of this union were eight children — three sons and five daughters; the sons are William J., Samuel N. and James M. P.; the daughters: Mollie E., Emma L., Alice, Ida and Maggie L. Mr. Woodfin is a Democrat, a Mason, and he and wife and five children are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Mrs. Woodfin, our subject's wife, was born in Rutherford County, Tenn., August 9, 1835. Her father was born in North Carolina, in 1807, and her mother in 1817. Her father died October 20, 1881, and was of Irish lineage.

Our subject's grandfather, Nicholas Woodfin, was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and was distinguished for his gallantry and bravery on many occasions.

Our subject's father was a soldier in the war of 1812, and participated in the battle of New Orleans.

Moses married Rachael A. Clark on 11 Sep 1856. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Brief History

The 56th Regiment, Enrolled Missouri Militia was enrolled between 29 July 1862 and 27 September 1862. They were ordered into service between 8 August 1862 and 7 October 1862. They were discharged between 1 December 1862 and 16 May 1863. They were reordered into service between 27 September 1864 and 12 October 1864 and discharged between 7 and 9 December 1864. The Colonel in charge was William H. McLean. [1]
Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin

Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try thecompany recruited in his county first.

Company A - Captains William H. McLane, Phillip Schreiner, Elisha Shepherd - Many men from Appleton, Cape Girardeau County

Company B - Captain William Regenhardt - Many men from Cape Girardeau County

Company C - Captain Leeman Haile - Many men from Appleton, Cape Girardeau County

Company D - Captain William N. Wilson - Many men from Appleton, Cape Girardeau County

Company F - Captain Samuel Whybark - Many men from Cape Girardeau County

Company G - Captains George H. Miller, Jacob Needhaus - Many men from Perry County

Company H - Captains Elisha Shepherd (Sheppard), William H. McLane - Many men from Cape Girardeau County

Company I - Captains Charles Mirly, Adolph Tacke - Many men from Cape Girardeau County

The above information about the companies with partial rosters is found in Kenneth E. Weant's book, Civil War Records: Missouri Enrolled Militia Infantry Regiments, volume 7[1]

In 1949, The Southeast Missourian published a series of aerial photographs it called "From the Air" featuring area towns. While many of these features included articles about the towns, the one for Leemon, published Oct. 25, consisted only of the photo above and this brief description: "A few families gathered at various sports in Cape County many years ago and set up small villages. Some of these small concentrations remain, and one of those remaining is Leemon... Among the first to settle in the area was the McNeely family. Some time after the Civil War the place supported a post office, but the community is now served by a rural route. The photo, looking north, shows the Fruitland-to-Neelys Landing farm-to-market road running across the top of the picture, bisected by a rural crossroad. The building at the intersection is the Oscar Ward store, built by Charles Farrow, and the Wards have operated it for nine years. Other past store owners in the community were Logan Roberts and Earl McKee."

Leemon—Picturesque Section of Cape Girardeau County
By JOHN G. Putz.

Twenty-one years ago, when the last authentic map of Cape Girardeau County was given to the public, the course of Indian Creek was omitted from the drawing. Rising as it does near Pocahontas, the headwaters of the creek are traced from the springs to theDoyle place within a half mile of Leemon, and then there is a break of about two and one-half miles, the tracing appearing again in Section 12. And yet this omitted part of the stream is the most remarkable, as therein lies a natural sportive act where "Nature wantoned as in her prime, and played at will her virgin fancies.

The wide basin of Indian Creek, above Leemon, with its fertile bottom fields, suddenly narrow when the foot of Mount Nebo on the south boldly steps in the way of the creek and the waters, as if fleeing from the jutting prominence of the bold knob, swerve northward, only to he met by a spur of the range of hills that borders on the basin to the northward. In this narrow aperture, which would, in Kentucky mountain idiom, be designated as "the gap" is the village of Leemon, a dreamy country place for small assembly of houses, clustering about the north approach of the bridge over the Indian Creek. The place is not old, as age goes, but it has quite a lot of local history remarkable for its origin and subsequent changeful progress.

Harking hack to the year 1849, we find a Tennessee pioneer, Thomas Hale (Haile) leaving his native (Bedford) county to come to this county which at that time was being populated by a diversity of people seldom found in a community. Settlers came from Tennessee, Illinois, Kentucky, Georgia, Carolinas both North and South, from Germany, Austria and England, and it had become known abroad that this part of Missouri was an Eldorado agriculturally. On Oct. 8. 1859. Thomas Haile purchased 200 acres in Section 9 west of the present site of Leemon, and there settled with his family, consisting of wife and six children. Among the sons of the family was one Leemon, who was later to establish the trading post and post-office to bear his name.

When President Llncoln called volunteers to arms during the war between the states, Leemon Halle offered his services to his country, and was made captain of a company of state militia, the main duty of which was to suppress roving bands of "bush-whackers" which had become a menace in this part of the state. Captain Halle, prior to his enlistment, had made his home in St Louis. had married Miss Lizzie Chambers of Illinois and had for a while lived in Neelys Landing. After cessation of hostilities, he engaged in the business of manufacturing lumber, and on Aug. 26, 1865, set up a saw mill on the lands of Anderson Mitchell. The hills and valleys were at that time covered with virgin forests, yielding choice lumber of a wide variety. On Sept. 14, 1874, Leemon Haile purchased from Maria L. Niblack 200 acres of land on which is now the village of Leemon, paying $540.00 for the two hundred acres. He then established his lumber manufacturing plant at the site near the present Leemon bridge, and applied fo
founder of the trading post.

Leemon Haile’s establishment and plant became widely known as a trading center and gathering place for the country round-about. His mills turned out the building material for many farm homes in the southeastern part of Shawnee township. People from the countryside would assemble there to exchange gossip, sit around and watch the steam-driven circular saw dig its whining way into the hearts of the forest giants and convert them into useful boards and beams. For the youth of the community the plant was a source of constant wonder and admiration. And when Leemon Halle erected an ice house on the bank of Indian creek, and stored therein tons of natural Ice packed in sawdust, it was the first time in the history of the community that ice was seen in the summer time, when be liberally gave his stores to neighbors and friends for their own use.

Many were the days when the owner of the lumber plant would sit on a convenient log where he could oversee the work of the mill, while he would spin yarns with his neighbors. Among them was one Joe Owens, the man with the wooden leg, who lived on the south side of Mount Nebo but spent many a day with his friend at the mill. The two would then out-do each other in the telling of "whoppers,” much to the edification of their listeners, of whom there was always quite a number. The Haile home, standing on a rise south of the mill, was the gather-
ing place for the gentle-folks and always open to the friends of the captain and his wife.

Later Leemon Hail had moved to Allenville and there engaged in the lumber business in a larger way, but met business reverses, and died there in 1894, his comfortable fortune swept away, and his widow in want, finally found refuge in the county home where she died about 10 years ago. There were no children.

Leemon, however, continued as a trading post and postoffice, and had the distinction of being on two rural routes, one going out from Jackson, the other from Neelys Landing. About the year 1900, Pinkney Morton opened a general merchandise establishment atLeemon, and was made postmaster, after the office had been housed In the Jacob Dole home, a quarter of a mile up the creek, for some time. Morton was succeeded by B. F. Sides in the operation of the store, who sold out to B. B. McNeely. McNeely was succeeded by Charles Morton, Henry W. Putz & Son, Lee Masterson, Gohn & Martin, and the Leemon Store company, the present owner.

The automobile and fine highways have practically eliminated Leemon as a trading post as they have so many other places of greater and of lesser importance in this part of the state. But the site is permeated by tradition and folklore as the sand is by water. The steel bridge, the only one spanning Indian creek for miles from Leemon, was built there in the year 1899, replacing a wooden structure which had become unsafe. John T. McNeely, a nephew of the founder, now owns the fine farm, and the Haile homeplace, wltb the original mansion re-
placed by a more modern dwelling.

Silently, slowly and peacefully the waters of Indian creek flow by Leemon, wind their way under the bridge in a devious, wandering, rambling, roving course down towards the east, while the nearby bills are aflame with the fiery scarlet of the sumac, blackgum and dogwood, blended with the amber yellow of the hickory, maple and elm, all colors overpowered by the dark green of the oak. While no frost has yet touched vegetation, nature, like an aged person not suffering from any particular fatal disease, is preparing to wrap its shroud around itself and to peacefully go to sleep. The corn in the nearby field rustles softly in the autumn breeze and the slanting rays of the setting sun glorify the luxuriant revelry of color on the slopes. dGradually the fiery orb sinks below the horizon, the cricket begins Its melancholy night
symphony, the clouds take on a maroon hue, turn to an ashen gray, "the evening star above the west, its vesper lamp has lit, the dusky curtains of the night are falling over it; and silently descends the night over the valley In a mantel of darkness, bringing peace and rest to all living things.

Part 1
LEEMON, MISSOURI
On Indian Creek

by K.J.H. Cochran

Leemon is approximately ten miles northeast of Jackson in Cape Girardeau County. The town is three miles east of Highway No. 61 on blacktop County Road J that joins the main highway at Fruitland.
The community lies along the bank of Indian Creek and extends north of Robert Side's General Store located on No. J; the houses, church and the old school all lying within a square, with a circumference of about two miles.
The social life of the town has been centered in the local church and school since the area was settled soon after 1800, and the residents are interested in each other and united in their feelings, in the manner of a large family.
The introduction of the automobile changed the economic conditions of the town. Unfortunately, some of the houses now are vacant, falling into decay, and the small business firms have relocated in more prosperous neighborhoods.
Once Leemon was a busy center of activity, the home of children who later became men and women or prominence in the state and the nation, who often alluded to the important influence the school and the church in Leemon had in their early academic and character-building training. John A. Hope, a prominent attorney in St. Louis, would refer to Indian Creek, as would Edward E. Alexander, and attorney and state senator in Arkansas; Judge J. C. McDonald, probate judge and for 22 years county superintendent of schools, Cape Girardeau County; Jacob Doyle, a well known educator, and Charles C. Oliver, State Representative, who was responsible for the presentation and passage of the Missouri State Flag bill, January 21, 1913; Arthur L. Oliver, a State Senator. 1909; John Oliver, a historian of note, presently residing in Florida, where he has been associated with the University; Burette and Allen Oliver, practicing attorneys in Cape Girardeau, Harry Alexander and Sloan Oliver, who were also attorneys, now de
The name Leemon was given the settlement after the Civil War when Captain Leemon Haile returned from the service and resumed the operation of the post office, general store and sawmill that he had started before the conflict broke. It was not until 1878 that Leemon Haile acquired the deed from his father.
Leemon Haile's family migrated to Missouri from Bedford County, Tennessee in 1849. His father, Thomas Haile, had met and married Hannah Woodfin there in 1827. Hannah had been born near Ashville, North Carolina, 1805, and had moved with her parents to Tennessee in 1810.
The Thomas Hailes came to Missouri with their family, in hopeful expectation of improving their well-being. The farm on Indian Creek was secured through the Jackson land office, and the deed was signed by General Zachary Taylor, then the twelfth president of the United States, soon after the organization of the thirty-first Congress.
A three room log house was erected by the family overlooking Indian Creek, near the spot where three small tributaries join and form the larger stream that flows eastward across the Clay Oliver property, and on the east, in the direction of the river, along the south boundary of the former August Litzelfelner farm, where Indian Creek empties into the Mississippi below Neely's Landing.
There were 11 children in the Haile family; many of them died in infancy. The mother, later called "Granny Haile", outlived all of the children except one son, Dick, a bachelor, who lived at the homestead, and one daughter, Mrs. Mary Wheeler, Plano, Texas, where Granny and Dick moved, 1896, when she was 91 years old. She died in 1900 at the age of 94 years, 4 months, 14 days and was buried in Texas.
The house in which she lived at Leemon was sold to the Tony Martin family, whose son, Elmo, became postmaster in Jackson; his death occurred less than two years ago.
Tony Martin had operated the general store in Leemon in the 1930's, purchasing it from, Henry Putz when the later moved back to Pocahontas. The family at that time lived in quarters at the store, but soon purchased the house on the hill.
The old Haile homestead still stands and has recently been sold. During the course of time it has been remodeled, rooms have been added, as have porches, and the house now faces south. Originally the entrance was on the north.
When Leemon Haile married Mary Elizabeth Chambers, September 10, 1857, he took his bride to a new house he had erected within the shadow of the Haile homestead. It was considered a palatial residence at the time, and quarters for the store and post office were included. The house was located on a rise of ground northeast of the hill along Indian Creek.
It was shaded by large maple trees. Many of them remain. One tree was removed July 19, 1966, because it obstructed the front porch and driveway of the house.
"Aunt Lizzie" remained in the home until she was 83, when in failing health, she sold the farm and the home to John T. McNeely, a nephew whose daughters, Mrs. C. A. Poe (St. Louis), Mrs. Ted R. Regenhardt, (Cape Girardeau) still own the property, that has been in the family 117 years. Lizzie Haile, who had no children, went to live at the County Farm, where she died before the year ended. She was fond of relating stories her husband had told her regarding the Civil War when he served as captain of a volunteer militia home guard regiment composed of men from the Indian Creek communities, who endeavored to rid southeast Missouri of bushwhackers, renegade soldiers who plundered the country side and horse thieves. He served during the entire war, enlisting a few months after the conflict began.
After Thomas Haile died the sawmill was purchased by Dave C. McKee who used a large steam engine to run the mill and also to operate a threshing machine and combine. David McKee belonged to one of the early families who had settled in the Indian Creek community. He married Rosilie Query, August, 1885. The couple rode horseback to the Shiloh Church for the ceremony. Rose was the sister of Dr. Charles Query, a successful veterinarian who moved to Jackson and remained in business for over 30 years before his death. Dave McKee assumed the operation and management of the Query farm in Leemon. The original house burned and a new dwelling now has replaced the old McKee homestead. The sawmill long ago disappeared from the bank of Indian Creek.
The general store and post office was moved after Leemon Haile's death to the home of Jacob Doyle. This house is still standing on No. J north of the highway. Clusters of black-eyed susans are growing in profusion near the driveway. Mr. Doyle continued the general store until 1900 when Pinckney Morton moved to Leemon, purchased the old Mizell home and engaged Edward Sides and his son, Charles, carpenters, to build a new general store north of the house.
For many years Bob Yancy delivered the mail to the post office, bringing it from Jackson in a jump-seat buggy. Later M. A. Short (Maurice) brought the mail to the Leemon store. He used a buggy until 1916 when he changed to an automobile, and his route was enlarged from 24 to 38 miles.
Both the Morton home and the store remain along the gravel street in Leemon. The house has fallen into decay. The north room is the original log cabin structure, built when the Indian Creek settlement was established. It has been covered with wood siding. the store was remodeled, the center entrance and front porch relocated on the north side of the building, that has been converted into a residence, and is occupied.
The blacksmith shop built by Lee Kahnert (Jackson) was north of the store. His home, a frame structure of six rooms, was across the road. There is no visible sign of either now. The house burned about 1937 and the new general store of Robert Sides occupies the site.
The blacksmith shops of John Wachter and of Joe Meyer have also disappeared.
John Wachter married Emma Clementz, whose father was a veterinarian in Leemon, and specialized in the treatment of horses. His home was next door to the old Leemon school, the ground having been purchased for a school from the Clementz estate. Both arenow the property of Edwin Kraemer.
The Morton General Store had a long and interesting history. Pinckney Morton remained in charge of the store for many years, selling it to Ben F. Sides, who in turn sold to B. B. McNeely. Charles Morton, John Putz, John McDonald, Charlie Farrow and Tony Martin where other owners of the business.
When the Kahnert home was destroyed by fire, Charlie Farrow purchased the lot and erected a new store, 1938, that has had the following owners since that time, Oscar Ward, Harlen Young, Richard Craft, who operated the store for 3 years and sold it last February to Richard Sides. The store is the only business in Leemon today.
Log schoolhouses were built throughout the area as soon as there were enough children to warrant engaging an instructor. The first log school erected in the Indian Creek community was the Dogwood School. Later the log building on the Daughterty farm was built. This school burned many years ago. No picture of it remains. Two trees grow near the old doorway. The building stood in front of the present home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert McDowell at Leemon.
The second school was located on land purchased from the Clementz estate. It was always referred to as "Hog Pen Academy". The term was one of endearment, and two versions for the name have been given; the first, it was thought Mr. Clementz at one time had a hog pen on the lot; the second, that the rival school of Dogwood, tauntingly christened the school, and instead of it provoking the students of Leemon, they adopted the name and it stuck.
The first building was a large room 30 X 40 feet. Jake Doyle was the instructor for many years. Later when it was necessary to add high school classes, a second, smaller room was built. It was not as well constructed, and after the high school students were transferred to Fruitland, the addition was removed. The original school room remained intact until the consolidated school district was organized out of Jackson. Students now attend the Fruitland school, and high school pupils come into Jackson for instruction.
Instructors at Hog Pen were Jake Doyle and his son, George, Lucius Reed, Jim Samuel, who was a barber on Saturday, with a chair in Pinckney Morton's General Store; Iva Seabaugh, William Crites, Maude Kurre, Carol Mercer, Katie Brent and Duke Abernathy. The list is not complete.
Old Charlie carried Ann Oliver and her sister, Helen, to school. Charlie had been trained as a race horse. He grew to know the school children well, and was adopted as a member of the community.

John T. McNeely, 81, Leemon Community Leader, Passes Away.

John T. McNeely, 81 years old, a farmer and community leader of
the Leemon community for many years, died at his home at 6 o'clock
Thursday night of progressive paralysis of long standing. He was
in poor health for more than a year, but was bedfast only since
Monday.

Mr. McNeely was born in the Leemon community Nov. 3, 1859, and
spent nearly all his life in that vicinity, being a successful
farmer. After reaching advanced age, he and Mrs. McNeely resided
two years in Cape Girardeau, then moved back to Leemon.

Always taking a keen interest in religious and public affairs,
he was active in social and political affairs. At one time he was
a member of the Farm Grange, was active in the Modern Woodsmen of
America Lodge, and was an active member of the Fairview Methodist
Church for 51 years.

On McKendree Board

He was a member of the board of trustees for the preservation
of Old McKendree Methodist Church, and still was at the time of his
death. He was always keenly interested in the old church's
history, and preservation of the building and grounds. He was
especially energetic as a member of the Cape County Historical
Society.

Mr. McNeely was somewhat of a philosopher, and his home,
attractively situated on a knoll overlooking Indian Creek, was a
storehouse of interesting literature in which he spent many of his
spare hours. All his neighbors were his friends, who respected
him.

On Dec. 12, 1889, he was married to Miss Jennie Stevenson of
Shawneetown. She survives, as do three daughters, Mrs. C. A. Poe of
St. Louis, Mrs. Ed Tuschhoff of Old Appleton, and Mrs. Ted
Regenhardt of Cape Girardeau; four grandchildren, one sister, Mrs.
Price Morton of near Fruitland, and two half-sisters, Mrs. Ed Lang
of Fullerton, Cal., and Mrs. W. H. Cunningham of Campbell.

Funeral services will be conducted Saturday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock, at Old Appleton Presbyterian Church. The body was to be
taken from the Cracraft-Miller Funeral Home at Jackson to the
family home at Leemon this afternoon to remain there until time for
the funeral.

John T. McNeely, one of the most respected and esteemed citizens of
this county, died at his home at Leemon last Wednesday night of
paralysis from which he had suffered for several years. He
attended church the previous Sunday and was taken seriously ill
soon thereafter.

Mr. McNeely was born Nov. 3, 1859 in the same community in
which he died. He was the son of George W. McNeely, his

moved to this county in 1830. On Dec. 12, 1889 he united in
marriage with Miss Jennie Stevenson of Shawneetown, who survives.
He followed farming all of his active life.

He was a devout Methodist, being a member of the Fairview
church for 51 years, and one of the principal supports of the
church, which he attended regularly so long as his health
permitted, He was very positive in his views yet most charitable
with those who honestly differed with him. His love for his
country and his patriotism was outstanding throughout his life.
Always a great reader he could converse intelligently upon any
subject of the day. The editor of the Cash-Book considered him one
of his warm, personal friends. Although we did not agree upon many
subjects our friendly arguments were greatly enjoyed.

In addition to his widow he leaves three daughters, Mrs. C. A.
Poe of St. Louis, Mrs. Ed Tuschoff of near Old Appleton and Mrs.
Ted Regenhardt of Cape Girardeau, a sister, Mrs. Price Morton of
Fruitland and two half-sisters, Mrs. Ed Lange of Fullerton, Calif.,

Cape Teacher Found Unconscious Beside Auto on Visit Home

Miss Bessie McNeely, a teacher in May Greene School, Friday evening drove to Leemon to spend the holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John T. McNeely. After placing her automobile in the garage at the home, she went into the house, but recalling that she had left a package in the vehicle she went back to the garage.
When she failed to return to the house the family became alarmed and went to look for her. She was found lying on the ground near her automobile and was carried to the house, where she remained unconscious until this morning. A physician who was called could not determine what had occurred, but there was no indication of any violence.
It was reported this afternoon she had regained consciousness after being unconscious all night and her family said she appeared to be some better. They are puzzled, as is the physician as to what occurred, as she had been in good health and had not been ill lately. Miss Alma Schrader, principal of the May Greene School, said Miss McNeely appeared well Friday when she left school. She has taught a number of years in the school system and is regarded as one of the more proficient instructors.

She is conscious now all of the time, but has been unable to solve the mystery in connection with her illness. Miss McNeely was found unconscious, lying on the ground and gasping for breath, beside her automobile at her home near Leemon last Friday night. All that she has been able to recall is what felt like a blow on the back of her head, near the top. Whether she was struck by someone hidden in the garage or struck her head in falling has not been determined.
Since regaining consciousness Miss McNeely has complained of extreme soreness and pain on the back of her head. Except for her parents, she is not permitted to have visitors, but is believed to be out danger now.



Condition of Teacher
Is Reported Serious

Miss Bess McNeely, teacher at May Green School, who was found unconscious on the ground near her automobile at her home at Leemon Friday night, was brought to Southeast Missouri Hospital at 4 a. m. today in a serious condition.

After she left school Friday afternoon she drove to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John T. McNeely, near Leemon. After eatingher supper, she read for an hour before remembering that she had left a package in her car, and went to get it. When she did not return in a reasonable time, her sister, Mrs. Elsie Tuschhoff, went to look for Miss McNee1y, and found her lying face down, gasping for breath. The package was on the running board of the car.
After being unconscious all Friday night, she was conscious at intervals Saturday, though she seemed confused and could tell nothing of what had happened to her. Although she seemed better Sunday after a restless night, her condition became much worse Sunday night, when she, had spasms most of the night.

Teacher of Cape Dies

Miss Bess McNeely Stricken at St. Louis

Miss Bess McNeely, a teacher at May Greene School here and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John T. McNeely of Leemon, died at 4 a. m. today at the St. Louis County Hospital, after collapsing on a motor bus Thursday night while in St. Louis for the State Teacher Association meeting.

Miss McNeely, alone, was enroute to the home or Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Poe, her sister and brother-in-law, who reside in Wellston, with whom she was visiting while in the city.

It was not readily determined who Miss McNeely was, and she was taken to St. Louis County Hospital for treatment. She did not regain consciousness.

How Identified

The name of Mrs. O. C. Douglas, 101 South Boulevard, Cape Girardeau, Miss McNeely, sharing an apartment with the Douglas family, was found in a purse the teacher carried. Mrs. Douglas was telephoned by the hospital office and she advised the hospital to get in touch with Dr. Poe.

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.

Notes:

Alice Alline Lewis (nee Regenhardt) passed away May 2, 2017.

Alice was born March 24, 1925 to Lois Alline (nee McNeely) and Ted R. Regenhardt in Cape Girardeau.

Her father was associated with his father and brothers in the Regenhardt Construction Company. The family moved every year or every other year following their highway construction jobs throughout Illinois and eastern Missouri.

Her grandfather, Edward Regenhardt, was the general contractor for the construction of Academic Hall, the main administration building of what is now Southeast Missouri State University and a Cape Girardeau landmark.

By the time she was high school age, her parents moved the family back to Cape permanently.

She attended Franklin School for the 9th grade, and Cape Central high school the next 3 years, and next attended Southeast Missouri State Teachers College, where she graduated with a B.S. degree in Secondary Education, specializing in Home Economics. Her first job was as a teacher in Lawrence, IL. The next year she worked in St. Louis County as an assistant home extension agent.

She married Freeman Lewis, owner of Wimpy's Drive In and Grocery on September 25, 1948. They joined Centenary Methodist Church later that year.

In 1969, Alice began work as an elementary Guidance Counselor for the Sikeston Public Schools.

In 1970, she went back to SEMO and worked on her master’s degree in elementary guidance counseling, accomplishing her goal in 1973, the same year her son Rob graduated from SEMO. She retired from her work in Sikeston after 20 years, in 1989.

She belonged to the Missouri State Teacher’s Association and was a charter member of the Professional Home Economists organization.

Active in the life of Centenary Methodist Church for 68 years, she served in several capacities: church secretary, nursery coordinator, church board of trustees, and various United Methodist Women offices.

She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and P.E.O.

Alice loved to read, play bridge and assemble jigsaw puzzles. She embroidered quilts for her grandchildren as well as creating needlepoint pictures and chair covers. A love of travel took her across the U.S. and one trip to Europe.

She is survived by her husband of 68 years, Freeman.

They have two sons, Rob (Diane) Lewis of San Antonio, Texas and Jon (Susan) Lewis of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Grandchildren Sarah (Thomas) Satterwhite, Angela (Justin) Morgan, and Stephen Lewis. Great-grandchildren Blake and Emily Satterwhite.

She is also survived by her brother Don (Linda) Regenhardt of Chevy Chase, MD; one cousin, Joe (Mary Alice) Regenhardt of Cape Girardeau; six nephews and eight nieces.

She was preceded in death by her parents, a brother Teddy and a sister Dee Ann, both when young children.
