CHAPMAN, Mr. & Mrs. W. E. Chapman Married 56 Years
1934 - Clinton Eye, Clinton, Henry County, Missouri
Have Resided 1 1/2 Miles North of Lewis Station for 50 Years - Their Daily Lives Reflect the Spirit of Christianity - Does being married 56 years seem to be a long time? A curious person asked this of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Chapman, 1 1/2 miles north of Lewis Station, a delightful, devoted couple, who were married 56 years October 20. Their reply was: Well, when we think of our trials and struggles to raise our family it seems long at times, but in every other way the time seems very short. Laura Belle Johnson, born March 7, 1860, in Hancock County, Illinois, came to Marion County, Missouri, in early childhood. A few years later she came to Lewis Station in Henry County to live with a sister, and it was here she met a young native West Virginian, William Edgar Chapman, born in Putnam County, West Virginia, April 1, 1856. He came to the Bear Creek neighborhood near Montrose in Henry County when a child, then moved to Lewis Station when a young man. Both learned reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic at the district school, and how to be a good neighbor, despite the scant funds for education. However, their knowledge has not been bounded by schools but has been enriched with experience and advanced with the years. There were few amusements in their courtship days and the only place a beau could take his best girl was to church. October 20, 1878, the wedding day of Laura Belle Johnson and Wm. Edgar Chapman, was almost identical with the same day this year - sunny, warm with autumn haze drifting over the gaily colored trees. The ceremony was read by Squire Good, a neighbor and friend, at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Wm. Fuller, at Lewis Station. Many friends witnessed the ceremony, but most of them are widely scattered now. At least two still live: Mrs. Ida Jones and Mrs. Emma Dalton of Lewis Station. The wedding dress of the bride was a floor length blue wood, painstakingly stitched by the bride herself. The happy young couple went to the home of his father in Lewis Station following the ceremony and here the infair dinner was served; welcoming the bride into the midst of her husband's family. For six years they resided in Lewis Station, then, 50 years ago they built a little log cabin on a farm 1 1/2 miles north of Lewis Station. In a few years they outgrew the log house and a larger place was built to accommodate their growing family. This is an attractive 7-room house which has been a substantial pleasant home many years for their family and they still reside on the same farm which Mr. Chapman has successfully operated all these years. The Chapmans had five children and there has never been a death in the family. One son is a prominent Methodist minister and all are workers in their home churches, due to the influence of early Christian training. These children are: Mrs. Etta Clarke, Wichita, Kans.; Rev. F. R. Chapman, Warrensburg; R. A. Chapman, Kansas City; Geo. Chapman and Mrs. Pearl Yount, near the old home. There are eight grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman have devoted their lives to the care and development of their children, trying to fit them for useful places in life and giving them better schooling and advantages than they had themselves. Both are members of the Drakes Chapel Methodist church and have always taken a prominent part in their church work. He was a steward for many years and both attend Sunday school regularly and enjoy it much. She is a faithful member of the Ladies Missionary Society. Their lives, both in their own home and outside, are centered about their Christianity. At present neither are in good health, But, they say, we are thankful to be able to care for ourselves. She enjoys reading and favors educational books, church papers, and popular novels. She also finds pleasure tending to her flowers, while he has charge of the vegetable garden. He also cares for his chickens. This year he has 200 White Leghorns, but usually has more. A model T Ford gives him as much enjoyment of life as anything for in it he drives to see his friends who live near. When asked about modern amusements, they replied: We are glad for the young people to have more entertainment than we had. We approve of many forms of it, yet there are a number which we can not. There have been great advancements made from ox carts, walking, and horseback riding to cars and planes, but we doubt if the young of today enjoy their trips any more than we did in our day. And that is the keynote of their character - generous, cheerful, keeping step with each modern achievement, sanctioning helpful advancements, disapproving and working against harmful influences. She is always friendly, ready to talk, smile and help. He is more reserved and quiet, yet equally ready to give of himself or his belongings. The dinner in celebration of their anniversary was served at their home. A daughter, Mrs. Pearl Yount, and Mrs. Geo. Chapman took care of the cooking, and when the other children and families arrived they brought filled baskets. Dinner consisted of cakes, fruit salad, fried chicken, beef roast, all kinds of vegetables, including tomatoes, cabbage, green beans, and radishes, fresh from their fall gardens. All the children were present except Mrs. Clarke of Kansas. The other guests were Mesdames Ida Jones, Emma Dalton and Wade Doss and husband of Lewis Station, sisters of Mr. Chapman, and Mrs. Chapman's brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnson of Calhoun.
CHEATHAM, CLAUDE E. & JEMIMA JANE HERST - Married 60 Years
Oct 4 1928 - Clinton Eye, Clinton, Henry County, Missouri
Thursday, October 4th, was such a happy day, for that was the 60th wedding anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Cheatham, who live on East Grand River street. They had arranged just a regular dinner, but were happily surprised just before noon to have their children bring baskets and boxes of fried chicken, salad, cakes and pies, so in a short time the table was stretched out and made festive to celebrate the anniversary of the marriage of this highly esteemed couple. It was, indeed a joyous day for them to have all their loved ones about the "home" table. Their daughter, Mrs. Joe Black, and husband, from southeast of Clinton; their son, Dr. C. L. Cheatham, who lives just two doors west, on Grand River street, his wife and their two children; Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Cheatham, and their grandchildren, Anna Margaret and Gwindoline Gilbert were all present. In the afternoon the dear parents were taken to town, where their pictures were taken. The Eye representative was glad of our privilege to call and extend congratulations and best wishes to these good people, whose lives have been examples of uprightness and true worth to Henry county through all these years. October 4, 1868, came on Sunday. In the soft mellow atmosphere of October, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Herst, southeast of Clinton, five miles, their daughter, Jemima Jane was given in marriage to C. E. Cheatham. Rev. Wm. Birge, pastor of Freedom church, who had baptized the bride sometime before, performed the ceremony that made this happy union which has blessed Henry county more than 60 years. Miss Mag McFall was the bride's maid and Frank Fielder was the best man. The only ones living who were at the wedding are: Mrs. Sallie Slavens and Clay Herst. The bride was demurely gowned in white swiss, made instep length, infant waist, cut round neck with flowing sleeves. The skirt cut very full, with three or four petticoats underneath, for at that time Dame Fashion's followers used much yardage in making their clothes. They went to church that day. There was a wonderful wedding feast at the home of the bride's parents. Happy was C. E. Cheatham to take his beautiful bride to the little log cabin on the 40 acres, five miles southeast of Clinton, that he had bought. This was the first real home he had had since he was nine, as his mother had died then and his father seven years before that. He had chosen the queen of his heart and she had graciously presided over his home and heart more than 60 years. What a contrast was home building then to now, when people marry without thought, move into a ready furnished apartment without preparation of either bride or groom. But not so in the days of sixty-eight, for it had taken many years of frugal living and honest toil to get enough money to buy the forty and provide a home for C. E. Cheatham's promised wife. Jemima Jane Herst had not been idle either, for before that October in sixty-eight, she pieced and quilted many quilts (tiny stitches in intricate design). She spun, carded and wove, getting blankets, etc., ready. She had canned, jellied and preserved, so that her larder would be full until another summer came. Happy, dreamful plannings filled her mind and spurred her industrious spirit to even greater effort. Those dreams have come true. Hers has been a happy home, one of fine Christian influence. As they increased in fortune, they built a two room house, later a five room house. Three children blessed the home - two daughters - Mrs. Ben Campbell, who lived in Chicago, Ill., for many years, but who died five years ago, and Mrs. Joe Black, living southeast of Clinton. One son - Dr. C. L. Cheatham, who lives on East Grand River street. He has two children, Claude Cheatham, who is 12, and Lilla Jane Cheatham, who is 10. contented is this couple, with a devoted daughter and son-in-law within a few miles and a devoted son and daughter-in-law, that is as thoughtful of their comfort and pleasure as is they were her own parents, and they are just two doors away. Jemima Jane Herst was born near Columbia, Ky., Adair county, December 1, 1846. In the old South she remembers a big dinner her family attended there, where there were many slaves. Her people had been slaveholders, but when she was two, they moved to McDonald county, Ill., where they lived until she was ten. They had relatives and friends in Henry county, so her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Herst, decided this was the land of promise, so left Illinois for Henry county, stopped at Chillicothe, Mo., to visit relatives. It was not a time of rapid transportation but of laborious travel to move a family of five children to another state, but perhaps those days were more wholesome and she, a girl of ten, enjoyed the many miles of slow travel, the ferrying across the Mississippi at Warsaw, Ill., the Missouri at Boonville, and other smaller streams as it was before the days of bridges. The trail led thru tall waving prairie grass or deep wooded paths, where the wolves howled and an occasional deer crossed. Even for several years after their coming here, Mrs. Cheatham can remember seeing wild deer and many wolves. Clinton was a very small town. Her father acquired the first 80 acres, then added to his farm until there were more than 400 acres, prospering on the virgin land. Two wagons brought the Herst family to Missouri, one pulled by three yoke of oxen, the other by a big team of horses. A few years after their coming, the great Civil war cloud hovered. Born in the south, and southern sympathizers, two of her brothers, John and Joe Herst, and brother-in-law, Irven Lee, enlisted under the Southern flag. John was wounded but came home. Joe died of disease and sleeps in the National cemetery at Ft. Smith, Ark., and Irven Lee, died of disease and sleeps in the cemetery of Little Rock, Ark. Anxious days were those, as they only heard from their loved ones on the battle front but two or three times in the entire conflict. In the meantime the outlaws of the North and the South came through and stole and took crops, cattle, meat and everything. The Union soldiers passed thru on their march to the Southland, and many a meal was served to the Union soldiers in the Herst home as they stopped by. One of her most thrilling experiences was when she was about 15, a captain and ten men came and asked for dinner. All the family were away but little Jemima Jane and her mother, who was bedfast. They refused but the soldiers insisted and the 15 year old girl cooked the meal in the outside kitchen and the mother worried about her safety as she was unable to get up. Little Jemima trembled with fear, also with some resentment at having to cook for men who were fighting her loved ones, but she finally got the meat fried, the cornbread baked, the jellies and preserves on the table. The men, who were all perfect gentlemen, all thanked the little Southerner for her hospitality and departed. The war clouds cleared and bout 1867, the Freedom church was organized. Jemima Jane was led to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus, and was baptized in March in the creek near Bethlehem school, where meeting was held in early spring. An inch of ice had to be broken for the baptismal service. She was educated in the pay schools of the district, everybody went and all families with children shared in the expense of paying the teacher and keeping up the school. Her parents were the charter members of the Freedom church as was Claude E. Cheatham, a young man, who had just recently come from near Fulton. It was just shortly after he came that he met Jemima Jane at a singing school. His courtship lasted just a little over a year. He was born and raised near Fulton. When he was two his father died; seven years later his mother died. He then went to his grandparents' home where he lived until he was 13, when they died. He lived with an uncle until he came to Henry county, where he had some other relatives. He was converted when a young man at Hann's Prairie church in Callaway county and baptized March 20, 1862, by Rev. John O. White. He too, was educated in the pay schools, but the terms only lasted three or four months a year, so it was meager. However, both he and his good wife always had open minds and studied daily the world's greatest Book - the Bible, and practiced its teachings ever in their lives. He was an earnest young Christian and was pleased to help start a new church of his faith. They worshipped in the schoolhouse for about ten years, when they decided to erect a meeting house. He and Jim Martin rode hours and hours, soliciting and collecting the money for this attractive frame structure that was erected in the late seventies. Freedom stood as a beacon light to country and homes until about ten years ago, when it was destroyed by fire and most of the membership united with the Clinton Christian church. Mr. Cheatham personally supervised the building of the church. He served as elder there for more than 50 years. He was superintendent of the Sunday School many years, taught the young men's class. Whenever the church was opened for services, he was there in his official capacity and as a neighbor and friend. His good wife upheld his opinions, taught the girls and later the women's class; prepared food for big basket dinners. Together they guarded their home and their church and practiced the teachings of their beloved Master. Oh, for more such homes as these! Mr. Cheatham is the last of his immediate family, while Mrs. Cheatham has one living brother, Clay Herst, southeast of Clinton.

Mayes and family sent word they would be there to spend Sunday. As W. P. had been out the night before he decided to take a nap after him work was done up, and was still asleep, when the cars commenced to arrive with his friends as well as basket after basket of good things to eat. Tables were built after the guests arrived, and after they were built they still would not hold everything, so the bread and many things had to be passed. There were as many kinds of cake as there were families present and some people brought two cakes; beside fried chicken, boiled ham, new potatoes, salads, pie and just everything. His wife made the real birthday cake, iced in white with the following inscription in pink: Birthday Greeting to Dad - age 38.

CLARK, C. M. Injured
Montrose Recorder, Montrose MO - January 24 1913
C. M. Clark was wearing a plaster on his face a few days last week. It seems that Mrs. Clark ask him to kill a cat on their premises for "pernicious activity". C. M. seized his shot gun and reached into a drawer for a couple shells, shoved one into the gun and hastened to the place outside to where his catship was singing a solo - C. M. aimed and pulled the trigger but the gun did not go off - he worked the ejector lever, put in another cartridge, but it did not go in quite far enough, again he pulled the trigger and got part of the charge in his face, he laid the gun down and hurried to town to get Dr. Miller to examine and dress the wound. Later he examined the gun and found that he had tried to use shells too small for his gun and the first one had slid in too far and of course did not explode the second one could not enter far enough to allow proper closing of the gun, and the "flare back" into his face was the result. Tuesday seeing that Mr. Clark's face was about healed, we inquired after the welfare of the other party to the 'cat-astrophe', and Mr. Clark assured us that the cat was still enjoying good health, as fine as silk.
CLARK Residence Burned
Montrose Recorder, Montrose MO - February 14 1913
Thursday morning a little before seven o'clock the alarm was given that the residence of C. M. Clark was afire. The fire engine company and a large number of our people were soon on the ground, but the flames had gathered such headway that it could not be put out; and the crowd busied themselves in removing household goods. Practically everything except from the kitchen and dining room was saved. Mr. Clark had got up and built the fires as usual, got himself some breakfast and come up to the post-office to attend to the mail, before leaving he had put a couple sticks of green round wood in the stove and carefully closed all dampers to the stove - told Mrs. Clark, (who is in poor health) not to get up until the house was warmed. About an hour later he was told over the phone his house was burning, the fire no doubt come from the kitchen chimney, as that part was in flames when the people reached the house.
CLARK Fire
Montrose Recorder, Montrose MO - February 21 1913
In the hurry last week a full report was not made of the Thursday morning burning of the Clark residence. The fire undoubtedly started from the defective flue in the kitchen part of the house as that part was burning briskly when the fire was discovered. The fire laddies made a quick run to the fire but as there were only a few that got out quick enough to help pull the machine, those who did the work were exhausted by the more than half mile pull, when they got to the fire - and one of the tanks did not work well and caused some delay - some think that had the men not been exhausted by the long run and everything been in good shape they could have saved the main part of the building. It's too late now to remedy this time - a statement that the last run made, the chemicals were turned into the water and left - when it should have been blown out and recharged - this left a charge that was nearly valueless in putting out fire, besides causing trouble in opening the cylinder to recharge. As stated last week practically everything was saved - except what was in the dining room and kitchen. Mrs. Mary Campbell, mother of Mrs. Clark had to be helped out of the burning house, she is now at the home of her son Chas. Campbell. She is in feeble health. Mr. Clark moved the saved goods into the house across the street south of the lost home and thought himself fortunate in securing so convenient a refuge but Friday evening Mr. Fentress who had bought the place arrived to move into the house. Mr. Clark had to hustle to find other quarters. He decided to put up a building on the old site, to live in until weather conditions are favorable to erect a new house - work was begun Saturday afternoon and he expected to be in it before this paper reaches the reader.
