ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
The newspaper made errors: John Dutton was really John Hutton. Names are
misspelled. Dates are wrong. Many events—even deaths—were not mentioned in the
paper.
I made mistakes. Microfilm is often blurry and indistinct. Numbers particularly
are difficult: 2s and 3s look alike; 6s and 8s look alike. Items were scattered about.
Who would think of looking for a birth announcement among the want-ads? Items
were overlooked because headline writers tend to be cutesy: "Prosecutor Jones Gets
New Assistant" actually means his wife gave birth to a son. A marriage was reported
under the headline: "To Consolidate." It is easy to overlook such whimsical items.
Many items which I omitted nevertheless mention family relationships. Before
radio and television people spent much time visiting— usually relatives. There are
thousands of items reporting such comings and goings: "Lucy Belle Smith returned
to Ashtabula, Ohio, to visit her grandmother Violet Vales." Such items were not
included in this index but nevertheless often reveal family relationships. The reader
(if he has enough patience) might do well to read through such items.
The reader is strongly urged to CHECK EVERYTHING. He should check the
microfilm himself He should check with other sources: birth and death certificates,
tombstone records, probate records, ftaneral home records, city directories, census
records. Fortunately the Springfield-Greene County Library has many of these records.
CENTENNIAL
The year 1929 was the centennial year of the founding of Springfield and June 16--
June 23 was the centennial week. There were all sorts of celebrations. There was a
magnificent evening parade on Wednesday with illuminated floats. I remember this as one of
the very best parades I have ever seen. On Thursday there was a pageant at the Shrine Mosque
with over 1400 participants. There were many family reunions, exhibits of old photographs,
old furniture, old clothing. There was a birthday cake three feet in diameter. The newspaper
reported all these events and also ran interviews with many old timers. There were other
articles dealing with the history of Springfield.
I was somewhat surprised to read (page 319) that Mrs. Alice Holland— whom I remember
for her ability to quote long passages from the Bible from memory—had indulged in "kissing
games" in her youth (!) to the tune of "King William was King James' son" (page 403).
Miss Marion Bissett, later a teacher in high school, presided as Queen of the Ozarks. William
J. Miles recalled when he fought in the Battle of Springfield in January 1863 (page 338)
making it seem much more vivid than the simple factual accounts in the history books. Isaac F.
King recalled a song the Civil War soldiers sang (page 373). There were descriptions of the
Square as it was in 1868 (page 337) and in 1876 (page 384) and photos of it at various times.
In one quite interesting feature the forecasts made by various Springfieldians about what
it would be like 100 years in the future were reported. Some forecasts were quite accurate.
One man predicted that home cooking would no longer be done. Instead people would get
their pre-cooked, packaged meals from their grocery. Miss Ida Ausherman predicted (page
315) that a woman would run for President. Some predictions were wildly fanciful— Prof B. F.
Finkel, for instance, thought in the ftiture they would pave a street without digging it up a few
weeks later.
One of the most useftil articles, I thought, was the chronology of Springfield history
compiled by Dr. E. M. Shepard (page 365). Dr. Shepard gave the actual date when each event
occurred. So many of the history books are rather vague about dates.
Another article (page 309) listed many of the people who had lived in Springfield fifty
years or more.
There was an account of how New Year's was celebrated in the old days (page 6) and
also an account of the hazards of travel in the days before the railroad reached Springfield
(page 336).
Many interesting articles were printed in the Sunday paper but unfortunately many of the
Sunday papers are missing from the microfilm. The Daily News is missing for the entire period
January 27 through June 27. I don't know why. It seems to me there was vague talk of a fire. I
was so impressed with all the historical articles in the newspaper that I saved the Leader [We
did not take the Daily News] for the entire week June 16— June 23. I had these laminated and
gave them to the Public Library but they seem to have disappeared. They are all on microfilm
anyway except for Sunday, June 16, and Sunday, June 23, both of which are missing.
For those interested in local history, a perusal of the newspapers during this period
would be richly rewarding.

Drury college was founded "in a house on the southwest corner of Benton and

page 297. This article is not correct. In 1929 the Drury campus did not extend south of
Central street. Charles E. Harwood's house was on the southwest corner of Bcnlon aiitl
Sycamore (now Brower)— see page 859. Later he built the house on the northwest corner
of Benton and Lynn. The obituary of his son Edward Charles Harwood (who died April
23, 1944) says Drury college was founded in that house— 1307 Benton (old number).
Probably the founding of Drury college was discussed in both houses. Such decisions
are rarely made instantaneously.

. v» on horseback to make the rounds
ot the farmhouses of their com-
munity, serenading, and firing a New
Years salute wherever that was per-
muted. They would often prelude
ilielr chief performance with instru-

song or chant In which they asked
permission to fire the weapons they

One Going Gallantly and Willingly Upon Her Last
Great Adventure
ny DOCIA KARELL
CUMAXINO a lUe in which travels
played • vivid and memorable
part, Mr«. Julia A. Hovey Colby has
taken her final Journey. Mrs. Colby
loved to travel, and loved to remem-
ber and talk of her varlou* sojourn -
Ings. Those who knew- her know that
she welcomed the last Journey with
the same gallantry and eagerness for
adventure with which she faced all
earthly wayfarings.
Bhe had long been ready— ahe
wished to go. Because of her Splr-
Itullst faith, what men call death
was to her In a peculiarly re:il sense
only the beginning of greater trKVCla
than Iltc could offer. 8o ;lic ven-
tured the unknown confidently, as-
sured that she was going to vU.lt and
to Join old friends, numerous and
close aa the ones she left — assured
close as the ones she left— assured
that trsvfls beyond earlli would
prove no let.s glamorous and tttscln-
atlng than llic ones she so much IihM
enjoyed here.

which fre&b water was placed In Im-
maculate containers every morning,
and on which food as well was plac-
ed during the winter. Her love of
bird and animal life went so far that
she championed vegetarianism, and
especially deplored the eating of
fowl. Including Thanksgiving turkey.
Her cottage was filled with curios,
pictures, and relics of her travels
which she treasured and always dis-
played with affection.
During the winter of 1924-5 she
was frail and 111: and before another
winter, on October 14. 1935. she
moved to the Mary E. Wilson home.
Last spring alie was 111 (or a long
while, but regained her strength dur-
ing the summer, and seemed as well
as usual at Christmas. Friday even-
ing, quietly, she slipped away on a
far Journey, eaijer. we may believe,
for the adventurlnjj that ape and
frailty deprived her of here any
longer.

\ Greene. The land offices for the
j goulhvirslrrn iRr.d district: of M:t-
«ou:l are located here. There are in
Springfield aeven stores and several
mechanics' shops. This town Is sit-
uated near the KK^.poo p.-a:r-.f
which has been a point of attraction j
and It generally lies nearer the sur-
face of the earth than in any other
part of the aute. Lead mineral is
sometimes found where the lime-
Btona Is thus eiposert. Larpe volumes
of wster. in vatiou* pari* of the

Page 1: There is an article about Mrs. William Hardesty and the Boone family.**
Marriage license: I. Delbert Chenoweth, 25, of Kansas City and Leda E.
Banning, 25, of Springfield.
Page 6: There is a long account of the Smith-Cherry wedding which is a bit
peculiar in that it never gives the name of the groom and the bride is not identified until
the very end. The article gives a great many details otherwise such as the fact that the
maid of honor wore a horsehair picture hat.
Miss Elanor Smith and Mr. Otto Cherry were married.**
Page 7: Miss Lucille Wallace and James Carl Carton were married.**
Page 14: G. I. Blanchard died.**

John J. Waddell, 31. a painter, wjw dead today and Mr*.
Clarence G. Morelock. 40, at who:«e house he lived, iraa la

\ lock home at 455 East Grand avenue.
It is believed by officers that Waddell may have b^oni*
temporarily itisane from hi.^ year.** of work with paint.
] Mrs. Fred \V. Oilman, 412 West Lynn street, is believed to
1 have been the only witness to the (•hooting. She had iroa*
I to the Morelock home to .«pend the nijrht during Mr. More-
I According to Mrs. Oltraan's version of the shooting. Wad»
I dell appeared at the door of the bedroom .in which Mrs
i Morelock was preparing to retire and fired two ahot*
'at Mrs. Morelock as she lay across the bed. Then, she said,
Waddell went back upstairs to his own room and fired one
shot. He had entered the house through the back door *
'few minutes before the shooting and had gone directly te
his room.
Mrs. Morelock's story largely corroborated that a£ Mtf.
Oltroan. She told officers that she had just finw to h*
room when Waddell descended the sUirs. turned off tli«
hall light, and shot at her through the darkened room U 4)f,
lay on the bed. . •••-.

USEFULNESS OF ERRORS
Errors are always to be regretted, of course, and the newspaper is full of them.
Nevertheless they can still be useful.
The obituary of Mrs. Julia E. Snow (June 19, 1929) stated that she was the daughter of
Presley Beal, the first cabinet maker and undertaker in Springfield, and that she was the widow
of Hollet Snow. The marriage records show that HoUet Snow married 24 September 1876 Julii
E. Chadwick and the 1 880 census shows him with two stepchildren Mary and Walter
Chadwick. The marriage records also show that James Chadwick married. 7 July 1868 Julia E.
Booker. Another marriage record shows that John Booker married 2 1 September 1 84 1 Mary
Beal. Since Mrs. Julia E. Snow was bom 1852, it would seem she was the daughter of Mary
(Beal) Booker—and very likely was the granddaughter of Presley Beal.
In other words, there is often a kernel of truth even in errors.

pulpits rang with denunclaUons of

I
DBT ELEMENT STRONG
During that same year the tem-
perance element was strong enough
to erect a substantial two-story
brick building on the northrast cor-
ner of the public square and St.
U>uis street. It was about 36 fp«t
I by 60, with the narrow front on
ou uuuiii &iie«:i. iiie lower 6U>ry
formed the finest store room In the
town, and was rented at once for
that purpose. The entire upper
story was "Temperance Hall," the
hone ot the nsons of Temperance,"
and for years wu ttie place where
numerous public meetings - wore
hrtd.
'consider for a moment what a
great thing Uxt erecting of that
building meant. It would hardlybe
Snrlngfleld today, to put their
fi^dnnta^tSefr pociets. and dupli-
cate th« landers, or4ll%Woodruff
(Ddlngs. aflnjlt was for that Utile
.,ahd of eattiest workers to erect
and p«7 for the modest building of
M years ago. That building stood
for 35 years; passed through the
CIvU war in safety, only to be de-
stroyed by the great fire of 187S,
which swept the whole horth side
of St. Louis street, from Jefferson
to the public square.
After the close of the war be-
tween the states, there was not
much heard of any opposition to the
saloons until al>out 1870. For five
years the saloons had run riot in
Springfield. Sereral leading men,
such as Harrison Undenbower and
others, had died in the whisky
qhops. There were sporadic pro-
tests, sometimes from some brare
man In the pulpit, sometimes by
some equally brave Christian
woman, but until about 1871 there
was no organized opposition to the
traffic. That year some good men
and women met and revived the
Sons of Temperance. Amen? thrm
I can recall but a few namee, but
.there was Morris Paxson and four
lot hla sons. Sly, Charles, ElUs and
Parker. There was good old Pather
Lee. father of Arthur Lee. who was
also a member: and scores of others.
Soon another division of the
"Sons" was organized In North
Springfield, and there was a con-
tinual battle against the saloons.
In December, 1873, the temperance
people decided that it was time to
do something practical In their op-
po&illoii asalpsl the liquor iralflc.
So petitions were circulated, numer-
ously signed, and presented to the
city council, asking that an election
IM held on the question of licensing
the saloons. The council granted
the petition, and set a day for tlie
voting. That was the first time
flprlngfltid actually locked horns
[with the quesUoQ, tod it was a
lively campaign, too. as the town
bad ever witnessed up to that time-
;
BAN TEMPERANCE TICKET
Milton Bowerman, who was
afterward secretary of the school
board for 30 years, and presiding
Justice of the county court for four
years, carved the word "No License"
on a block of boxwood, and the
temperance tickets printed from
that block were jet black with the
words in white letters. ' We caUed
Ihem the "Black Flag- tickets. And
that Ucket won by a good majority.
The next spring we ran a temper-
ance ticket for dty officers, with
republican. Colonel John W.
were.M-
!era] and
Confederate soldiers I > And we
elected them, tool
But. as in almost all such con-
flicts tn'tbeea ynxn, the temperance
people, as soon as the battle was
won, went tt> sleep. The other fel-
lows never slept, nnrl by r>r\f> »';'•':
or another the saloons were gener-
ally open. There were men. how-
ever, who never iet up In opposi-
tion to' the tral'i.- I rec-.II m 1882
how the Reverend E. B. Burro«-e.
puator ol the First Congregational
church, and the Reverend Harvey
Pobbs, pastor of the North Sprtng-
f'eld Methodist church, led a del':-
gation to us to protest befoie the
county court against the Lssue ol
licenses to four North Springfield
saloons, on petitions that did not
include one-quarter of the tax-pay-
ing citizens, while the law said a
majority was needed. But the
cotint; court granted the licenses,
neverUieless.
Then we proceeded to build up a
good hot fire under that coubty
court. We held Indignitlon meet-
ings all over the county. I recall
what • lively time Professor A. P.
Hall (he was not a professor then,
being only lately graduated' from
Dniry) and I had at a big meet-
ing In the church' at Cave Springs
one night. That fire we kindled
burned to good effect, too, for the
tnembers of the court were indicted
bv the Rrand jury and, while that
indictment was dismissed by •
friendly prosecuting attorney, we re-
tired every man of them from of-
fice at the next elecUoa— Judgea, at-
torney and all I
But the hottest times came in
1887. That year the writer rep-
resented Springfield In the lower
house of the legi&lature. I made my
camtMdgn on a straight declaration
that if elected I would work for the
submission of a prohibitory amend-
ment to a vote of the people of the
state. On that platform 1 turned
the majority of 500 of the opposite
party, to 148 for my party. We car-
MIX
tied the amendment through the
taouae. but were btnten by one vote
In the senate. Then we fought
through' the renowned "Mteourt
Local OpUon Law,** under which 7S
eprttrntUti cftjr, and
AMjo^ty. And then,
went to ileep. and the whitky In-
terests took the election In the dty
to the St. Louis court of appeals, on
a technicality, and got a decUioo
that the election was not hdd le-
gally, and the strioons continued to
flourish, until national prohibition

•^ Methods of getting nearly all the energy out of coal in-
I stead of only about 37 percent as at present will he rli-mvered
I and utilized. This energy will be transformed into electric
energy and transported by means of ether waves to dlatant
places of consumption. Water power will be at the diapmal
of every Inhabitant in Springfield.
In 100 yean hence the streets of Springfield wfll not
be torn up as soon as they are built, by public service cor-
porations, but when once built, they will be built with a view
to outlast the centuries. It will not then be considered an
economic principle to tear down and build up in order to
furnish labor for the laborer, but the laborer will be used to
create new wealth. _
|n* will then be recognized by all (hough;?til~people that
I there is no surh principle in (he field r.f economics as the
i principle of the conservation of wealth, that is, that wealth
cannot he created or^deslroved. as there is in the physical
world where exi.sis The principle of the con.«enation of
matter and energy.
In the economic world, wealth can be created and
wealth can be destroyed and, in general, progress ia made
only when wealth is added to the sum total of existing wealtl
Wealth is often transferred from individual to individual.
Many other improvements economically, socially and
phvsically will be made in .Springfield in the next hundred
years, but space forbids mentioning any more.

la lald he U worth a mUlion. He la a kU made
man and had a bitter struggle agalMl poverty In
hU younger days- He once told a Springflelc^
friend that for monthi at a time he ate nothing
but beam and fat pork. He had a small (arm In
Dade county which he cultivated with two mules
but seeing he could not get ahead he sold what
little he had and drore through to Oklahoma
where he bought 40 acree. The land was poor but
Mr. Wilson and- hla faithful mules worked hard
and managed to get enough to eat. Prospectors
came along and wanted to drill for oil on the
farm. A deal was made and oil was found when
oil was high and meant money on a Ttrge scale.
The deal he made put him Into the class of rich
men and he returned to Dade county with his
pals, the mules, which had done so much for him
in his dark days. He has the mules now. They
are well housed and well fed" but they don't work
They have also retired and will be In a land of oats
and hay as long as they live.

creek — Jordin, oo called even In
those days because of Its popularity
for baptislngs— was a aprlng fed
stream of outstandlnit beauty. In
those days Water street meandered
along the south bank of Jordan,
much of its way through groves of
walnut, elm and sycamore. Tlia hill-
side on the south was wooded;
limestone boulders outcropping, here
and there, with bits of bluff, m-here
ferns grew and spring beauties and
anemones appeared in early aprlng.
Water street bad Its beginning In
Um 70's. m now, at ita IntetaeoUim
with Main street. A narrow Ume-
aUme bridge spanned the creek
whe^ Main crossed. From this
point to Boonvllle, where a wooden
bridge crossed the stream, was a
fnvorlte place for plrnlcs, shaded
with forest trees and watered by
several springs. The main building
of The Bprlngfleld Wagon company
over hung the creek Just below
Boonvllle bridge, as did a great old
rambling hotel Just beyond.
At the cross-road of Water and
Boonvllle In those da>-s was a busy
center. Many of tho Important re-
tall stores of the village were within
a block each way. Coopers. Sutlers,
Heers. Marx. Gottfried. Haggertya.
I...U ^.-M^.c --. L - '
and many other early merchants
were grouped about these comers.

street passed by quite a4|tUe settle-
ment of homes as far as Benton.
Here the valley was given over to
negro cabins, clustering around a
negro church, famous for protracted
revivals and camp-meetings. Oppo-
dt* the church was a fine old home
surrounded with cottonwood trees.
Then 'came the cotton mill on the
north with a stretch of oak and
hlokory trees, interspersed with
hawthorns and rrab appl* to the
south. Beyond was the open coun-
