| This is a record of a birth or stillbirth as reported by the Doctor or Mid-wife to a Clerk and neither one seemed to be very careful about the entries. There are obvious mistakes and some made by me because I couldn't read the handwriting. This page contains the Notes submitted by researchers trying to clarify the spelling of names and mistakes with dates, or just adding a little more family information. |
| Brewer, pg. 42/110 Notes from: Helen Schoenemann There was a set of Brewer twins born 18 Feb 1885. The mother's maiden name is Tempy Ann Steward. The twins were not named when the record was recorded. They were named Frona Alzadie Brewer and James Calvin Brewer. They were called Allie and Callie. [I have yet to find Tempy's named correctly on any typed list. She is listed as Dempy on the marriage records sold by Stoddard County. Her full name was Tempy Armendy Marina Frances Alice Malinda Katherine Steward--poor lady. She was commonly called Tempy Ann.] |

HOBBS, miller and farmer of Bloomfield, Mo., is a native of Cape Girardeau County, Mo., and is the son of Green B. and Sarah F. (Penn) Miller*, both natives of Tennessee. They immigrated to Cape Girardeau County about 1830 and settled near Cape Girardeau, where Mr. Hobbs purchased a farm, and there remained until his death, which occurred in 1871. The mother is still living and resides on the old homestead. They were the parents of six children, four now living: Martha J., James M., Joseph V. and John E. The subject of this sketch was reared to farm life, and remained with his parents until the breaking out of the late war, when in 1861 he enlisted in Capt. Gedding's Company, and served until the close of the war. He was a corporal, and participated in all the principal engagements west of the Mississippi River. After cessation of hostilities he returned home, and there remained until 1866, when he came to Stoddard County and located at Bloomfield, where he has since resided. September 12, 1876, he purchased the flouring mill of Mrs. Nancy Sykes, of Bloomfield, and has operated the mill ever since. The mill is of the buhr process - two wheat and one corn buhr. The building is a two-story frame, and has a capacity of forty barrels in twenty-four hours. Mr. Hobbs also owns a large farming interest both in and out of Stoddard County. He owns altogether about 1,575 acres of land, and has about 270 acres under cultivation, well improved, etc. He was married in 1868 to Miss Sophia E. Miller, and the result of this union was the birth of two children: Nora J. and Charles O. Mrs. Hobbs is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. NOTE BY CJB: *Sarah F. (Penn) MILLER. Should this be HOBBS? |

| Howell, pg. 29/373 Notes from: Sue Eskew This female child's name was Zelma Elizabeth Howell.

| Miller, pg. 3/39 Notes from: Carol Bowman "This female was Eunice May Miller. The database [from State Records] gives her birthdate as Nov. 03, 1883. The Dexter cemetery record (page 216, Eunice May Lepchenske) also gives her birthdate as 3 Nov 1883. I honestly don't know which is correct. Here is the information on her: Eunice May Miller b. 2 or 3 Nov 1883 (I think I will take the best two out of three and use 3 Nov 1883) md. Talmage Malcom Lepchenske d. 24 Oct 1964 bur. Dexter Cemetery (p. 216 of cemetery book 1839-1992) Eunice May Miller was the d/o of John Anderson "Pad" Miller and Mary Keziah Harper. Interestingly, one of her siblings was: John Elvis Miller (1888-1981), attorney, Congressman, U.S. Senator, and federal judge, was born near Aid, Missouri, the son of John A. and Mary K. Miller. As far as I can tell, everything else is right." The date has been changed to 3 Nov 1883 and the maiden name to Harper because they were definitely mistakes I made in reading the handwriting - Connie Perkins |
