ASHLEY BATTLE
Davis Whitesides of Lincoln Co. was wounded in the abdomen and died. He was orderly Sergeant of Beck's company and had the muster roll in his possession. He was about 25 years old. Well educated and until the madness that unhappily rules the hour seized upon him was looked upon by all who knew him as a young man of most excellent reputation. David Blue a private, of Ralls Co. was found by our men at the house of Ambrose Lovelace, 8 miles southwest of Ashley, wounded in the abdomen and has since died.
Clint Burbridge was in the gang and it is said may be known hereafter by his having had the top of his right ear clipped by a ball. Snyder was also wounded in the ear and thigh. Besides those named it is known the rebels had several of their men badly wounded. In the woods back of Asey, the writer of this saw three large pools of blood, and tracked them nearly half a mile by clots of blood plainly visible on the ground. It is reported that some 7 or 8 of their men are already known to be dead.
Besides the damage done their persons the rebels lost a fine horse eight guns two or three fine revolvers Becks's bowie knife, several powder flasks, tin cup, and as the auctioneers say other articles too tedious to mention. Take it all in all the affair turned out...

ASHAMED TO TELL MOTHER
"I would be ashamed to tell mother," was a little boy's reply to his comrades who were trying to tempt him to do wrong.
"But you need not tell her, no one will know anything about it."
"I would know all about it myself, and I'd feel mighty mean if I couldn't tell mother."
"It's a pity you wasn't a girl. The idea of a boy running and telling his mother every little thing!"
"You may laugh if you want to," said the noble boy, but I've made up my mind never, as long as I live, to do anything I would be ashamed to tell my mother."
Noble resolve, and which will make almost any life true and useful. Let it be the rule of every boy and girl to do nothing of which they would be ashamed to tell their mother. ---------Presbyterian Written in 1881

Fifteen min. before the hour set for the execution the crowd commenced tearing boards off the stockade within which the scaffold had been erected, and when at 2:02, Sheriff Clark and two priests appeared on the scaffold, a half dozen boards and the framework were all that remained.

An Ola Slave Marriage
An instance almost as strange as fiction itself occurred in the marriage license department at the recorder's office.
It appears that about 15 yrs. previous to the late civil war a colored man, who now gives the name of Anthony Edwards, and who was then married after the custom of those times, resided with his master in Pike Co. Mo. From some cause, not known to Edwards, his master sold him lo a southern planter, but retained possession of his wife and one child the only result of the marriage. After reaching the south, Edwards lost all trace of his wife and his former master and child. After the war here married as did also his wife. His second wife dying, he

ASHLEY BATTLE
The last sentence of Capt. Purse's reply will be understood when it is stated that, while Mr. Elmore was standing on the platform at the door on the outside of his own store, and awaiting an answer he was fired on by the guerrillas and wounded severely though not dangerously, immediately below the shoulder blade, the ball passing out under his right arm.
After the return of Mr. Elmore a few shots were fired by both parties, some by one or two citizens who had got out just in time to take a hand in the affair. Mr. E. states that he exhorted the person who seemed to be in command to withdraw his men as he was only exposing the lives of the citizens and of his own men and could accomplish nothing. The order to retreat was given but from another motive doubtless than Mr. Elmore's exhortation. The rebels were badly whipped.
Now for the result. On our part we regret that George Trower was shot and instantly killed by a squad of rebels who came up to him on the east side of Ashley, near the...

UNITED STATES ARMY
It was a day I shall never forget. I was stationed at the Sacramento Army Air Base in California. It was a Sunday morning, and another physician and I from St. Louis had drove up to Lake Tahoe. On the way there, we heard the fact that Pearl Harbor had been bombed. We came back to the air base and everything was pandemonium. They were issuing small arms to everybody. We thought there was going to be an imminent invasion. It was just a catastrophic event.
We were stationed in the desert. They had two heaters, two big boilers for heat, and no air conditioning. We slept without any covers, without any clothes. Later on, I was stationed for a while in Yuma. In those days they had a wire frame that they filled with excelsior and dripped water around that to make it so it would evaporate. Then they put a fan that drew air through there into the room and it was quite cool. They'd take watermelons and put a gunnysack over the watermelons and let it drip and cool it down.
We would go to the army base infirmary to see anybody that was sick. I did some surgery there, which was not in my field. There was no one else, so I did it. Not as well, perhaps, as it might have been, but I didn't lose any patients. We would be on call sometimes at night. We would make rounds, and would go over to the officers club.
Sometimes we'd have dancing, and we would dance with the nurses and anybody else we could find. We would play poker from time to time.
We did general medicine. We were not specialists at the time. Later on, I was sent …

Killed by a bull
LPJ 1884
Mr. Joel Griffith. living in Buffalo, while in his barn lot Friday, 29th was• killed by a vicious bull For some time previous he had been besought to part with the vicious animal but always refused, as he valued it too highly, and although warned that it would cause somebody's death did he retain him on the farm, still the old gentleman adhered to his determination. On Thursday he had a severe struggle with the brute and only through the persuasive influence of a pitchfork did he succeed in preventing him from doing him bodily injury. Friday afternoon in company with his grandson, the two repaired to the barn to attend to their work, where the latter left his grandfather, and did not see him until 6 hours later, when he found a mangled corpse …

Mrs. Nancy Tunis one of the most notorious prostitutes that ever plied her vile calling in this city and who has caused more trouble to the
city authorities than all the others combined, got no allepathic dose of justice
yesterday that will last her for some time. She was arraigned before justice Johns on the charge of keeping a bawdy house and the case was called at ten am. The information was filed by PA Emerson on his oath of office. The
defendant through her attorney R.A. May filed a motion for a change of venue and it was taken to Justice Urban's court, where the court room was jammed with a curious throng.
There were some features connected with the case that were calculated to arouse a feeling of pity in the most callous breast. The woman has

VISIT TO PIKE
R.T. Martin writes
of his
visit to
Historic Noix
Creek.
I
arrived at Cyrene about
9:18pm Sept
7, 1910.
I was
met by
Mr. William
Jensen, who
soon safely landed
me in
his hospitable home. I
was very
warmly received
by his
good wife,
and it
was not
hard for her
to induce
me to partake
of some of
the good things
adapted to the
sustenance of
life. The day
following was
the occasion of
the celebration
of the
82nd birthday
of Mrs.
Rebecca F.
Stewart. She
has no
sister living.
All of her four
living brothers
were present.
Their names
and ages
are as
follows: Robert
J. Martin 76;
John S.
Martin 72;
Reuben T.
Martin 67;
Ezra H. Martin
63. Others
present were:
Mrs. Maggie
E. Martin,
Mrs. Nancy
Martin. This
was the
first reunion held for many many
years; and
was one
of the
happiest occasions
in the
life of
each. Here
I Met
Mr. Carl
Kindred, teacher
of their
school at
Prairie Mound.
He is
a most
promising young
man.
On
Thursday afternoon
J. S.
Martin and wife,
Mrs. Nancy
Martin and
myself accompanied Ezra H.
Martin to the home of
his daughter,
Mrs. Ora
Traynor, where
we were kindly
entertained by herself and
her husband William Traynor.
Mrs. Traynor
played and
sang the
piano.
On
Friday morning
J. S.
Martin and
wife took
me to
their home.
Here I
was royally
entertained. Later
we went
to see
Pleasant Goodman,
his wife and son,
Andrew and
Mrs. Nancy
Martin. Those
who were
there: Robert
Stem and wife, Ezra
H. Martin,
Mrs. Clara
Chappell, Willie
Traynor and
wife. We had
a most
enjoyable time.
On Saturday Mr.
&
Mrs. Goodman, their
son, Andrew
and Mrs.

where I
met many old
acquaintances and listened...

Donations to the Library and Museum:
We have been honored with a large money donation for the work and labor of love our Volunteer Dorothy McCarthy does for her community, her church, her family, and her love of Genealogy. Her and her husband Jack were always willing and able to do whatever the society needed. Now her husband is gone she still tries beyond her own physical abilities to continue her work for all her clubs, her church, and her family. She is one of many great assets we have in this society. Dorothy is one who believes our future is preserving our past. She is a wonder and loved by us all and most of us just don't see how she does it, and she will do it with a smile! We want to honor you, and let our
members know how wonderful it is to have you be a part of what we have. We all want to thank you.
We want to thank everyone who donates to our Society and Museum. We are blessed to have so many who want to help out.
Our festival committee was busy bees this fall. They worked hard to bring our books, flowers, and other items to our booths. They are a great bunch of volunteers who want to get out and share Pike County's vast history and beauty with it's people. They spoke of how much they enjoyed talking with people and sharing what we can do for them.
Getting them excited about their own family history. That's our biggest joy to get someone started in their journey of family.
The Society will be hosting ...

An Iowa Tragedy
The
murder of
a farmer
and attempted
murder of
his son
in 1864.
A noted
bushwhacker charged with the
crime and
arrested by
a St. Louis office
fearful of
lynching. He
attempts to
Escape and
is shot.
There
is scarcely
a record
of lawlessness
with more
terrible associations
than that
of a
tale of blood
which startled
all Davis
County Iowa, in
1864 when
William Wallace
was murdered
and an
attempt made
to take
the life
of his
son, John
Wallace.
Wallace
was a
farmer living
in peace
with all
his neighbors,
when were
few and
scattered. No thought
of ever
being a
victim to
desperate ruffianism disturbed him.
He had
considerable amount of
property which
got to the
knowledge of
some notorious
gang. One
day one
of the
villains attempted
to steal
a number
of his horses, and Wallace
looking on
his property with
a jealous
eye endeavored
to prevent
him from taking
them off. The
scoundrel seeing the
resistance which
was being offered
determined to
carry out his intention even
if bloodshed
was
the consequence.
The result
was that
he shot
and killed
the elder
Wallace and
seriously wounded the
younger, He
then got
off with
his plunder.
The affair
caused great
excitement and a man
named
Francis Marin
West was
accused of
the crime.
West
could not
be found and
the tragedy ceased
after a
time to
talked of,
except by
a few.
Later it
became known ...

Library News
The obituary project is still an ongoing one till all
newspapers collected are put onto a CD. So far this winter
we have finished 1950s--1960s. Now some of the years are
not complete years we collected what we had available to us and
that's all. So you need an obit just call and ask or stop
by and check our indexes for what we have. This project
has been a 6 year project started by the late Nancie Joseph
Stout. She passed last year and we who were helping her
are continuing her work the best we can. She was also a
big part of the cemetery project and will be greatly missed.
The museum is growing and growing. We have the most
generous people who love to donate items. We just acquired
the old Buckner Hollow School records donated to us by Mr. Wayne
Gamm. We have been given Nancie Joseph Stout's collection
of Obits and family history of the Turnbull, Carr, Jackson, Ince,
Muff families and their connected families. Betty Jo
Wendel has donated Col. J. Wendel's Chocolate chip uniform wore
in the war against Hussein. We have a WWI uniform just
donated to us by a friend of Guyetta Summoski of New Hartford
Mo. The museum is looking for a Louisiana Bulldog letter jacket
to go with Clopton and BG's display.
We are excited for ...

THOSE BOYS
William
Williams knows all about them. One of them lives in Cyrene
and the other in Hannibal. In Thursday's press a letter
was printed from Maryville, Ill. asking for information of the
whereabouts of two boys -- John S. and George August Lies, who
were given away by their father, who once lived at Old
Monroe. The letter stated that one of the boys was given
to a man named Davis and the other to a man named Williams.
When
the press came out Mr. William Williams who works at Ingram and
Williams feed store on Main street, saw the letter and
immediately solved the mystery of the boys whereabouts.
About 12 years ago as well as Mr. Williams can remember, he was
living in the Tinsley house, the big brick building, at the
corner of Alabama and Main streets, and a man who gave his name
as A.B. Lies came to his house to board, bringing with him two
little boys, probably four and six years of age. The man
was a bridge carpenter on the ...
