Clinton MO - When we pluck our most beautiful bouquets we do not feel they are complete without some beautiful buds mixed with the full blown blossoms, so in God's Heavenly bouquet a tiny bud was missing and on Monday evening, February 13th, 1922, a little before midnight the angels came for little Mary Lee Ambrose and bore her in their arms to Heaven, where Jesus stood waiting to receive her. She only stayed a little less than 14 months to scatter sunshine and make her father, mother, sister and brother happy, but her little life left its impression upon those with whom she came in touch.

He was a lifelong and consistent Democrat, and in his latter years was elected by his party to the office of Presiding Judge of the county court, having served a prior term as associate judge.

Clinton MO, Feb 11 1896 - Tuesday, February 4, 1896, Mrs. Nancy Anderson died at the residence of her brother, G. W. Slavens, in Bethlehem township, her troubled spirit finding peace and eternal haven with her Creator. Her mortality now lies 'neath the soughing boughs of Bethlehem cemetery. Hers was a strange mentality - a combination of eccentricity and wit that for a half century has been a theme to pioneer and native of Henry county. Sane, yet insane, in the little cabin back of the State Bank, in Clinton, for nearly fifty years she hath gone in and out alone, gaining her own livlihood until prevailed upon by her brother to spend the winter at his home. From what we can learn, she came with the Slavens family to this county from Ohio in the early forties. Married Rev. Andrew Brown, brother of Rev. Peter Brown. After a few years, she was divorced, the married Maj. Tom Anderson, a Virginian, who was a wood workman. By this union, she leaves a daughter, Mrs. Eliza Burch. It is related that when Maj. Ashby was building the residence on what is now known as the Mound farm, she told him not to finish it, as it would be burned down. This somewhat alarmed Mr. Ashby. Later, one evening, she quietly stole from her husband and home and for 21 days, the citizens sough after her - dragging the wells, looking everywhere, but in vain. There were whisperings of foul play and Mr. Anderson was regarded with suspicion. Much to the gratification of all, she returned - as quietly as she had gone, saying the Lord had commanded her to fast for forty days and now she thought she'd come in. She said the searchers could a number of times have touched her while she was hiding in the Grand River bottoms. An inquiry was launched as to her sanity, Jesse W. Sharp, now living on the Sharp homestead, being one of the jurors. She was sent to the asylum and after two years, returned home, her husband having died in the meantime. She must have been between 80 and 90 years old.

She had had enough background at MU to have some knowledge of photojournalism. So many of the photojournalists at Geographic were Missouri grads that they were referred to as the "Missouri Mafia". A whole new world was opened to her and she was thrilled at the chance to learn more. She wanted more knowledge of films, and asked to be allowed to attend Trinity College in D. C. The company agreed to pay her expenses and she attended night school for two semesters. The photographers she worked with became her good friends. She was soon promoted to senior film reviewer. When her health began to fail she moved to Kansas City to be closer to her family. After a year or two she moved to Clinton where her family could care for her. She is survived by her parents, Bob and Laverne Angle; a sister, Sherry Rein, and her husband, Marlin L. Rein; her niece, Abby Phillips and husband, Charles, and her most-loved great-niece and nephew, Amara and Eli Phillips, as well as many uncles aunts and cousins. She will be sadly missed. Funeral services were held at the First Presbyterian Church, Clinton, on Friday, March 30. Private interment was in Englewood Cemetery, Clinton.

Clinton MO - Pioneer Resident Died - J. R. Angle, member of one of Henry County's oldest families, passed into eternity about 11:00 a.m. March 3, 1938, at his home, corner Allen and Washington. Although he had been in failing health about a year from a weak heart and complications he was able that morning to go into the living room for awhile, but suffered a fatal heart attack before he could return to bed. He was tenderly cared for during his last illness by his wife and her grandson, William Rhote Anderson, who is attending high school and was staying there to assist his grandmother. John Richard Angle, born November 12, 1863, in Pike County, came with his parents and family to Henry County in 1866 where they first settled a few miles northwest of Clinton, but later moved to the Mt. Carmel neighborhood where they became known among the biggest and most substantial farmers. As a young man, he was united in marriage to Miss Hallie Alexander, December 31, 1891, of the same neighborhood and she died many years ago. From this union the following children survive: Mrs. Hazel Angle Wise, Kansas City; John Angle, Bakersfield, Calif.; Raymond, Whittier, Calif., and unable to come because of the floods. May 5, 1915, he married Mrs. Martha J. Anderson, who survives, also his sisters, Mrs. Daisy Jeffreys, Hastings, Okla., Mrs. Arthur Dooley, Coffeyville, Kans., and brothers, George Angle, west Clinton and Solon K. Angle, Alberta, Canada; also grandchildren; Helen Louise and Viola Elaine Angle of Bakersfield, California, and Joyce Winifred, John Richard, and Wayne Angle of Vislia, Calif., and Raymond Wise of Fairfax, Okla. Also four stepsons, Rhote Anderson, west of town, Archie Anderson, Adrian, Mo., Arthur and Earl Anderson, both of California. After his marriage, Mr. Angle owned and operated for years the farm where Stith Cooper now lives, and where, in addition to numerous livestock and large grain farming, he kept an excellent orchard. After moving to Clinton 21 years ago, where they first lived on Artesian avenue, he became an extensive horticulturist and at his last home had a small orchard. So well did he keep in touch with this practice that he was considered an authority and was most generous with his advice. Mr. Angle kept interested in his community and its progress as well as the actives of those about him. He was fond of his home and enjoyed the visit last summer of his son and grandchildren from California, also that of his daughter and stepson, Arthur Anderson and wife, of Vallejo, Calif., the Sunday before his death. He was from a pioneer family, his father of sturdy German parentage and his mother of Kentucky lineage. He was long a member of the Presbyterian church, joining the Mt. Carmel church, but after coming to Clinton he attended the church here. Funeral services were conducted Sunday at the Clinton Presbyterian church. Burial in Englewood. Those attending from out-of-town were, Mrs. Hazel Wise, Kansas City; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Guenser, Leeton; Mr. and Mrs. Dave Crissman and daughter, Marie, Green Ridge, Eugene Colson, Schell City; Mrs. Daisy Jeffreys, Miss Mary Louise Angle, Sedalia; Leslie Angle and family, Dexter.

Clinton MO - Clinton Loses A Loved And Noble Character - Mrs. Emma Angle, Long a Part of Clinton's Life Passes - Her Character an Inspiration - Friendship Garden a Rare Monument - 74 Years Old - The angel of death closed the eyelids of Mrs. Emma Angle in the peaceful sleep of oblivion at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 6. And never could paradise be blest with a purer, more rarely beautiful spirit than hers, for her life had been crowned with the glory of goodness and the sweetness of peace, earned after long travel in life's difficult places - hard places that would have turned life bitter for many men and set their faces into the severe moulds of rebellion. But with her as all pure metal, tempering brought forth the finer quality and made her an instrument of godlike goodness, to help encourage, cheer and guide the many lives she touched. For more than 30 years she lived in the unpretentious little three room white house at 308 South Fifth street and in truth the world beat a path to her door, for she was a master needle woman. And women came to her from the homes of means and influence to have her fashion clothes for them and for their children, lovely garments such as she never wore or desired yet into each she put her most careful skill and cut and stitched it with the loving care that would have gone into the lovely clothes she would have made for the little daughter God had given her for just two brief years. Those who have known her best look back over a long vista of years to see the frocks for graduation, baccalaureate, first dances, garden parties, college "trousseaus," tailored suits, bridal satin, lingerie ... first maternity gowns - robes for those the grim reaper had cut down in the brilliant flush of youth or full, maturity and a great array of "just dresses," that meant her living. Yet with each gave a part of herself and to every patron sifted some of her brave philosophy of life. To her they returned, yes, for the garments she could create, but also for the sweet cheer, the homely good sense, the sound logic of her sage council, for she gave - gave always! To the hum of her worn, old machine she worked out her problems and those of many a patron - she schooled more than one girl for whom she sewed in the need for modesty and the nicety of good taste, she urged deference to parents and endorsed their experienced judgment. She was sympathetic with their problems and understood the aura that enveloped love's young dream. All her life was filled with doing good, helping others to find themselves, or unknit a weighty problem. And as years unrolled, the girls for whom she sewed who had scattered over many states would come back to see her, write her and send messages. Three generations of some families she had served with her needle and every person had a particular claim on her interest and loyalty. Margaret Emily Elledge was born near Paris, Edgar county, Illinois, August 5, 1864, the daughter of Isaac and Susan Bryan Elledge, a granddaughter of Margaret Perry, niece of the famous Commodore Perry. The Davidsons of Virginia were her maternal ancestors. At the age of two she came to Bates county, with her parents to the Elledge farm between Rich Hill and Butler. shortly after they came to henry county, near LaDue, where her father continued to farm. Of natural alert, quick mind and studious, she did well in school and when grown for some six years she taught in the LaDue, Mt. Carmel, Farmer's Institute an Elm Branch schools, all where she too had studied. And boys found favoritism in her heart though she was always strictly just and fair. She had more sympathy for them and felt they were often misunderstood and many a boy whom she taught in county schoolhouses, as a man, successful and brilliant, returned to visit her in her modest home and thank her for the important part she had had in shaping his career and attitudes in life. It was no unusual sight to see a boy sitting in a comfortable rocker, chatting eagerly with her as she worked, discussing his problems of importance. Many a job she has given them, many a wrinkle she has ironed out and all the boys, who had the privilege of knowing her, loved and respected her. May 5, 1892, she became the wife of Harve F. Angle, a farmer southwest of LaDue. One little daughter was born to them, Inez C., who 26 months later was taken back to her Maker. This grief was harrowing and when March 6, 1900, Mr. Angle too died, her cup of sorrow was full. Bank failures soon after taking most of her means, she had to turn to devising ways of making a living. Heartsick, discouraged, sorrow ladened, she came to Clinton and on North Washington street with Miss Clara Strickland, now Mrs. Tom Frazier of Chin Lee Ariz., went into the dressmaking business. Some 30 years ago she bought her present home on South Fifth street and save when Mrs. Neppie Williams was her partner sewed alone. She took tailoring in Kansas City and for years was noted for her finely finished ladies' suits, but as the weighted irons became harder to handle with accruing years she gave up such work and sewed on only lighter materials. When needing relaxation from the nervous strain of cutting, basting and fitting she went to her garden. There she raised fine vegetables, planting, hoeing, digging them, eating what she needed, canning or preserving what surplus there might be and sharing with her neighbors. out of her little she found so much to give. One of the beauties of her yard was her friendship garden, flowers, plants, bulbs, shrubs, creepers, rare, different or of some unusual color, were given her by other garden lovers and these she cherished and shared with others some going half way across the United States to be transplanted in rich mountain soils, artistic rock gardens or into milder climates where they became more luxuriantly beautiful. She had her finger on life's pulse as did few people and did not hold with the casual freedom of the modern world and its sophistication. She insisted small boys would be better off with a few spools, a box, a hammer and some nails to devise toys for themselves than with the elaborate toys that deadened every creative instinct. She told many a young mother to give her little girl a few bright prints, needle, thread and scissors and let her fashion a dress no matter how crude than to supply the elaborate trunks of perfect costumes that could be bought in any store and taught her daughter nothing. She believed in the old-fashioned virtues and lived by them and on her serene and gentle face rested the benediction of years spent in calm and peace - with enough work and health to make her independent, which ability she treasured and thanked a Divine Province that turned her fingers to productive work. Beautifully she lived, beautifully she died, unafraid of death though she knew he walked beside her long months. Firm in the tenets of Presbyterianism, her faith int he eternal never wavered and in peace she fell asleep for God to wake in His own tomorrow. Surviving Mrs. Angle are her sister, Mrs. Susie E. Hunter of Bates county, who had been with her most of the past month; Mrs. John Mayes and D. M. Elledge of Mountain Grove, Mo.; Mrs. John Kedigh of Mountain Home, Ark., and N. Elledge of Fontana, Calif., and others. She was also a sister of the late Mrs. D. V. Fellhauer of Clinton. Services will be Thursday (today) at the Consalus and Peck funeral home. Burial at Hopewell beside her husband and baby.

Daily Democrat, Clinton MO, Oct 17 2006 - Robert Steele Angle, 85, died September 26, 2006, at Golden Valley Hospital in Clinton. He was born in Clinton on July 5, 1921, the older son of Clarence Clements and Beulah Marie Angle. He grew up on the family farm west of Clinton. He attended Missouri University for three years and left for a brief stint in the Marines. He married Edna Laverne Thompson in 1945 and over the years bought much of the family farm, a portion of which had been in the Angle family since the mid-1800s. If Bob's loves were family, hunting, MU and golf, farming was his passion. He received numerous county and state awards and recognitions from the Missouri University Extension Division, the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Bureau and other farming organizations. In 1970, he was featured in Successful Farming magazine's issue on crop planning. He was widely recognized as a farmer who kept up with the latest in both production and marketing. Age and failing health did not diminish his interest in farming and he maintained an active role in the farm operation until his death. He was also an active community member. He served as an Elder at the First Presbyterian Church. He was a member and later president of Davis R-12 School Board. He was a director at Charter Bank of Clinton, later of Boatman's Bank, and served on the advisory board at Clinton Union State Bank and Trust. He was a board member, then president, of the Henry County Farm Bureau. He was appointed to the Missouri Farm Bureau Livestock Advisory Board. He served on the Henry County Extension Council and the University of Missouri's Long Range Planning for Extension Committee in Columbia. He was named Farmer of the Year by the Soil and Water Conservation District. In 1981, he was appointed by the governor to serve on the Missouri Land Reclamation Commission. Bob was known by friends and family alike for his quiet, easygoing manner, his wonderful smile and his affable ways. He was unfailingly generous to those in need and would always help a friend or neighbor without being asked. His word was his bond and he trusted others to do the same. His land management philosophy, "We'd like to leave it better than we found it" applied far beyond the farm itself. He was preceded in death by his parents; his daughter Jennifer; an infant son Robert Fletcher, and his brother William Milton "Jack" Angle. He is survived by his wife Laverne, of the home; his daughter, Sherry Rein and husband Marlin, Clinton; his granddaughter Abby Zavos and husband Chuck, and great-grandchildren, Amara and Eli, Liberty. Funeral services were held at the First Presbyterian Church, Clinton, on Friday, September 29. Burial was in Englewood Cemetery, Clinton.

Daily Democrat, Clinton MO, Oct 22 2003 - Vincent Edward (Flower) Anzalone was born February 10, 1927, at Kansas City and ended this life's journey October 4, 2003, at the Missouri Veterans Home in Warrensburg at the age of 76 years, seven months and 24 days. The son of Paul and Frances Brancato Anzalone, he grew up in Sacramento, California, in the home of his grandparents, Joseph and Jennie Brancato. As a member of this family, he was privileged to have an uncle and two cousins close to his own age. Sammy Brancato and Joann and Florence Santora were like brother and sisters to him and that is what he considered then all the rest of his life. When Vincent was 18-years-old, World War II was raging so he answered his country's call, serving in Japan as a member of the Army-Air Force. Upon his return to America, he came back to Missouri and learned the shoe cobbler trade from his father, who was a master shoe cobbler. He later switched to the City Market and then to Milgram (later Wetterau) where he stayed for well over 45 years, becoming the employee with the longest tenure in the history of Milgram-Wetterau. On July 16, 1961, at the Deepwater Baptist Church, Vincent married June Bailey and forever after her "Flower". Their happiness was enriched when exactly six and a half years later on January 16, 1968, they were blessed with a son, Vincent Alan. God continued to show his goodness by blessing them with their second son, Scott Edward, on May 15, 1970. Flower was a devoted family man, who spent his time with his sons, never missing a school or church program. Halloween meant not only the kids dressing up and going out trick or treating, but their parents as well. Christmas meant Dad donning his Santa suit and heading for school where he brought candy, cookies and ice cream for kindergarten through sixth grade. Flower was big-hearted to a fault. He could never sit down to a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner unless he knew there was not a hungry home in Deepwater. This generosity was still foremost in his life in his last weeks. He needed shoes bad, so I splurged to get him a very expensive pair. On a visit a few days later, he still had the old ratty ones on. Another patient came up with beautiful new shoes and told him how much warmer his feet were and thanked him. Flower, in his usual evasive way, tried to change the subject, but it was perfectly clear. He had given away his expensive new shoes to someone he thought needed them worse than him. Flower was a Christian, choosing to take his children to church, not send them. He had held the office of trustee, Sunday School superintendent, Sunday School secretary, Sunday School teacher, head usher and deacon at the First Baptist Church at Deepwater. A survey of Flower's live would not be complete without mentioning his world-famous meatballs. This recipe came over the ocean with his grandmother. It's main ingredient was love, seasoned well with patience. Those friends fortunate enough to receive this gift probably did not realize that Flower had spent 14 to 16 hours preparing them so that they would be just right and truly a gift from the heart. Flower enjoyed life and people and fun. The last few years of his life were spent in agonizing pain, yet he could give those around him a lift from his unbreakable spirit and total trust in the Lord. Flower died peacefully in his sleep as he slept the dream of the innocent and awakened in the sweet presence of Jesus with absolutely no pain. He leaves to mourn his passing, his wife of 42 years, June; his beloved sons, Alan and Scott; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Bennie and Laverne Bailey of Excelsior Springs and Bill and Ruby Bailey of Clinton; his uncle, whom he considered to be a brother, Sammy and wife, Mary Brancato, Tucker, Georgia; his cousin considered to be his sister, Florence and husband Andy Scarabello, Fresno, California. His other dear cousin, Joann Waldron, preceded him in death. He had a special place in his heart for his nieces and nephews and they returned that care and concern as shown by the great distance some of them have come to pay their respects to him. Flower's fame was his family. His fortune was his friends. And he only wanted to be the best Christian he could be. And that my friends is the secret of what makes a happy life. Final services were October 7 at First Baptist Church, Deepwater. The funeral procession was led to Maplewood Cemetery at Brownington by very good friend, Major Rob Hills, Henry County deputy sheriff. There Flower was laid to rest amongst family and friends. Flower was very proud to be a long standing member of VFW Post 1894 and his comrades conducted a beautiful last tribute to their fallen comrade.
