    This Indenture made this Twentyfifth day of September in the year of our
    Lord one thousand eight hundred and twelve between William Rowe and
    Agness his wife of the County of Fayette and state of Ohio of the one part
    and Mathew Sims of the county of Louisa & state of Virginia of the other
    part Witnesseth that the said Rowe and wife, for and in consideration
    of the sum of Seven hundred dollars have granted bargained and sold, and by these presents doth grant bargain and sell to the said Mathew Sims a tract of land lying in the county of Louisa and state of Virginia on the waters of Beaverdam a branch of Mychump creek, containing Two hundred and twenty two acres... Total assumption based on the information in this deed. I have no marriage records or anything else that might prove this marriage relationship. However, the Rowes and the Roberts did live in proximity, this land appears to resemble land owned by Morris or Jeremiah Roberts. The tract was originally sold to William Rowe by Jeremiah Roberts and William Rowe, Sr., and implies the marriage of known daughter, Agness, to William Rowe.

    TWO DAYS SPENT IN PIKE COUNTY

    I have always said that the scenery in Pike County, Missouri cannot be surpassed by any in the United States, and especially if you see the hillsides in October where the frost has touched the leaves just enough to bring out the gorgeous Autumn tints. The oaks this October 1930 were the most beautiful I have ever seen there, with all the shades of russet, brown with touches of green and red – the brilliant sumac, the sassafras and maples. It was a sight never to be forgotten.

    A joint meeting of the Northern and Southern Convocations of the Diocese of Missouri was held at Calvary Church in Louisiana October 28th, 29th and 30th so I decided to go down Wednesday morning and hoped Frank could go also, but when he found he could not get away I decided to go down on the train reaching there about 11 o'clock. There was an interesting business session and then we went out to the Louisiana Country Club to a beautiful luncheon. Gussie Roberts, Mrs. Edith Roberts and Mrs. Mackey of Clarksville had driven up to the meeting, and it had been arranged before hand that I was to be met there and go to Clarksville for the night with Gussie. The luncheon was delicious, the most marvelous fried chicken being the piece de resistance. The principal speaker after the luncheon was Mr. George M. Block of St. Louis, and spoke of his love for Pike Co. and the beautiful old St. John's church which was built by his grandparents and other Virginians who had settled in Pike Co. about the same time. He also mentioned Col. Edw. W Dorsey.1 The Louisiana Country Club is 4 miles from Louisiana and is on the old Jackson farm belonging to Mr. Mark Gillum's maternal grandparents, who are buried on the farm.

    After luncheon we drove to the home of Mr. & Mrs. Paul Stark, which is almost seven miles from Louisiana and is on the top of a hill and looks over into the valley towards Clarksville. I have never seen anything more beautiful than the foliage in these hills nor the entire panorama. It was a perfect October day – bright, clear and warm and it was a joy to be out of doors. That evening we listened to a fine sermon by Dr. Block of St. Louis and then went to Clarksville for the night.

    During the night had come a hard rain and the weather had turned cold, so Gussie and I stayed indoors and visited all day. Friday was a perfect day, and before I had finished dressing Gussie told me that Mr. Mark Gillum had invited us to drive to Bowling Green with him that morning and we would start at nine o'clock. A young Mrs. Boone, who as a bride had just come from Savannah, Georgia to live in Clarksville, was the fourth in our party.

    The air was sharp and bracing, and no schoolchildren, starting out for a day's picnic could have been more excited than we. Our only disappointment was that John could not go with us, but as Publisher of "The Clarksville Sentinel," he was having his busiest day of the week and could not leave. We drove out towards Paynesville, and as we leisurely rode along, Mr. Gillum pointed to each farm telling stories about the early settlers whose names were most familiar to me.

    The hills in Pike County have a peculiar shape, all of them being what they call sugarloaf shaped, rounding rather than pointed, and there are distinct ridges with very fertile valleys between them, and the hillsides densely wooded. Then turning around we obtained marvelous views of that grand old Father of Waters, the Mississippi.

    It was eleven o'clock when we reached Bowling Green, and the person with whom we sought an interview was Uncle Simeon N. Gillum, son of Nathan Smith Gillum, and grandson of John Gillum II and his wife Elizabeth Smith. Uncle Simeon gave us little information except that Nathan Smith Gillum was the youngest son of John Gillum and that he came to Missouri in 1833 and settled on a farm near Ashley, Mo. He then went back to Virginia and brought his father and others out to Missouri.

    Nathan Smith Gillum was born in Albemarle Co., Va., May 15, 1815. I do not know the date of his death but John Gillum II died in 1837. We then went to see Mrs. Champ Clark, thinking that she might know something of the Gillum family, but found that she did not and was unwilling to talk of anything except the Porter family whom she had known so well in Clarksville. Mrs. Clark, as Genevieve Bennett was a seat mate of Aunt Nannie Porter's and was introduced by Aunt Nannie to Mr. Champ Clark whom she afterwards married. I wanted to linger with Mrs. Clark, but feeling that our object was to locate the Gillum family we reluctantly left, promising to return another day.

    It was noon! So we decided to stop and eat our lunch, before we went on in our search for Ancestors. Having satisfied the lunch inner man we went to call on Judge and Mrs. Gray, who are living in the old Porter-Broadhead home. It is a beautiful home of the low rambling type, with two types of dormer windows. It sets well back off of the street and has been beautifully preserved. The same old stone front door step is there. The same very thick front door, with the same door knob, lock and hinges. You enter a rather narrow hall, with narrow stairs leading up to the second story. There is a room on either side of the hall in front with the same small panes of glass in the windows; the same high base board around the walls, and it is so beautifully furnished in antique furniture, so suitable to the home – Judge Gray is the Probate Judge of Pike County, and his wife a descendant of the famous Gentry family. She is in D.A.R. But we had to hasten on.

    The highways are paved now out of Bowling Green, but you, sister and Eleanor know what kind of mud6 they had to travel through in the olden times, because none of us will ever forget that ride to Bowling Green five years ago. Do you remember the Bank I went into to inquire about the Porter home? Well, Uncle Sim Gillum is President of that Bank, and if that young man had only asked him he would have taken us right to the house, because it is only three blocks from the Courthouse. Wasn't that a terrible pity! You simply must come back to Mo. because now that the highways are paved we can drive to Bowling Green in one hour.

    About ten miles south of Bowling Green is the old Myers farm on Buffalo Knob, from 2 and one half to 3 miles west of Edgewood. When Jeremiah Roberts and his wife Lucy Mildred Fagg Roberts came out to Missouri in 1835, they brought with them three children, John Orville, James Boyd and Mary Ann (who was a baby in arms) and some negroes. They went first to Mr. Myers, as he had married Elizabeth Gillum's cousin, and Mr. Myers gave him a sight for a log house and a field to plant. The house was situated on a knob, called Buffalo Knob, and Spout Spring where they obtained their water supply, is down the hill on the left. It is still an active spring. Here Richard Morris Roberts was born Sept. 27, 1837.

    Mr. Myers simply gave Jeremiah Roberts the use of this land until he had time to look around for a permanent location. During their residence here they formed a close friendship with Captain Edward Dorsey's family who lived on another hill just across the Valley. Aunt Mary Broadhead told me about staying all night many times with Aunt Millie Roberts, when Uncle Jerry, as she called them, was away from home. Grandmother Roberts was afraid to go to sleep so she kept Aunt Mary awake by telling her an entire novel by Scott or Dickens. Aunt Mary said she had never known anyone who could relate as interesting a story. One negro man's name was Bob.

    Only one room of the old house built by Jeremiah Roberts remains, but several wonderful old trees are still standing which look as if they were one hundred years old.

    Mr. Gillum said he had walked all over this farm with Uncle John Roberts, and had heard him say, "I remember playing here when I was a little boy," or "I remember carrying water up from old Spout Spring," etc. In this particular part of Pike County were settled Mr. Carter who was such a large owner of slaves, that he was said not to know all of them sight. It was reported that the majority of slaves in Pike County were owned by Mr. Carter, Dr. Bankhead and Captain Edward Dorsey. Captain Archy Bankhead was a very intimate friend of Uncle Cale Dorsey's2 and they with Uncle Sim Gillum fought in the same Company during the Civil War. All of their farms adjoined. We walked over the farm and to the fence that divided the Dorsey and Roberts places.
    I heard this story:

    It seems that when the Dorsey family sold their farm, they had an old slave named Cato, who was now free, but who had stayed on with them. They gave him a deed to ten acres of land and he lived on it, in his little log cabin until he died. He is buried in a little private burying ground near there. His place was called Cato's Patch, and the Bankhead family have paid taxes on it ever since old Cato's death, many, many years ago. It is all thickly overgrown with underbrush now and is not valuable, but it adjoins their land and as there was no one to claim it, they have just included in their farm. We also saw a farm called the Cale Dorsey3 farm just adjoining the Captain Dorsey farm. There we went over to "Briar Patch" which is such an attractive log house built on the Gillum place. It was built about nine years ago for a hunting lodge and has been used for many happy and gay house parties. It is ideally situated in a grove of beautiful trees and is an ideal place to go to thrown off care and trouble and enjoy life.

    Very reluctantly we entered the car for our homeward journey. One marvelous view we had going home was from the old McCune farm. It is on the crest of a hill and the view of the hills and valleys is marvelous. We passed Cousin Chris Merriweather's home; Mr. Heppie Merriweather's; Aberdeen the lovely old home of Mr. & Mrs. H. V. P. Block and "Falicon" the wonderful country home of the Dameron family. It was a day long to be remembered and I can never thank Gussie and Mr. Gillum for making the day possible.

    Saturday Gussie drove me out to the lovely old farm where she was born, and to Brookhill Farm, Dr. Clopton's home, also up to Mrs. Roberts's which she bought from Uncle John Roberts. It was a perfect visit and one I shall never forget. That day we also went to the home where Papa and Mamma were married and where Sister was born. We stood on the porch and looked up and down the beautiful Mississippi and remembered the stories of Mrs. Porter sending word to the Captain of a steam boat to please wait for Mrs. Porter she had decided to go to St. Louis. We went inside this old home and were taken from room to room by Mrs. Holmes, the charming owner of the house. She has not disturbed much of the old house but has left windows, doors, etc. as they were years ago.

    I cannot complete an account of this visit without mentioning John Orville's son, John Orville Roberts IV. He is such a bright, wholesome looking baby and is very handsome with hair almost read and very large dark brown eyes. Mr. Jake Huckstep of Bowling Green told John Orville that Frederick Roberts, Jeremiah's brother had red hair, so John thinks perhaps he may have inherited it!

    Before I left Clarksville, Mr. Gillum said he would invite Frank and me to "Briar Patch" for a week-end, so imagine my surprise when a week from Sunday I had a long distance message from Bowling Green to come down for three days. Frank said he could not go but for me to go and he would drive me down. We were at Mother's for dinner, and did not get home until after three o'clock, so I hurriedly packed my bedding and a few things and we drove to Bowling Green to meet Mr. & Mrs. Russell Bankhead and Mr. Merrill of St. Louis. They have beds & mattresses at the lodge but do not keep any bedding down there. As the quail season opened Monday morning Mr. Merrill and Mr. Bankhead were planning to hunt and took three dogs with them. It was six o'clock when we reached "Briar Patch" and we found a good hot chicken dinner ready for us and Mr. and Mrs. Gillum and Dr. Randolph Bankhead waiting for us. After a delicious meal we sat around the beautiful big fireplace and talked until far into the night. It was wonderful sleeping so far away from civilization and we were all greatly refreshed and ready for an early rising, breakfast and start by eight o'clock for a busy day – Monday. We drove down the highway past Eolia almost to Auburn then turned onto the country roads to Elsberry where we were to find Mrs. Lizzie Stone, whom we found to be most interesting. (Mrs. Lizzie H. Stone, RR #3 Box 115). She was wide-awake, interesting little woman and told us many interesting things. She showed us a quilt her Mother made in 1858, which is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Her Mother in 1852 started a scrapbook and in it she had written the names of all of the descendants of John Gillum and Elizabeth Dickerson. I have written to her and asked her to try and find out for us the birth, death and marriage of this John & Elizabeth Gillum and Elizabeth Gillum and Richard Morris. Leaving Mrs. Stone we drove north to Little Ramsay Creek and found the farm where Jeremiah Roberts moved before his daughter Ellen Lewis was born in 1839. He moved over to Little Ramsay to be near his Father-in-law John Fagg, who with his family had moved out from Albemarle County, Virginia in November 1837. We were told that their house, which was very quaint and interesting, was not the one where Mr. Roberts lived, but some of the outbuildings were still standing.

    We then rode over to the Fagg farm, which is on the other side of the creek and further up the road and at the base of a hill. The front part of the old log house is still standing and I regretted so much not having John's Kodak. Downstairs were two rooms separated by a very narrow hall and narrow stairs led to the upper rooms. The plaster was off the wall in one room and we could see the logs very distinctly. There were the deep window sills showing how thick the logs were. There were small windows in the upper rooms. We then drove up the hill about a quarter of a mile to the family burying ground where we found the grave of John Fagg with the following dates on his tombstone. Born August 14, 1775, died October 12, 1846. Also Elizabeth W., wife of John Fagg born January 11, 1782, died March 5, 1851. Then Horatio T. Kent born October 12, 1811 died May 31, 1849. He was the husband of Mary Ann Fagg, born 1808, daughter of John Fagg. The view from that plot was beautiful. You could look down upon the house, and the lovely hills in every direction. There is a little country school out in the public road called the Fagg School. Reluctantly we drove away, -- mind filled with memories of all we had heard about those who had called these very places home. It was very wonderful to me to the there.

    We again resumed our ride and were getting very hungry, as it was after one o'clock. We found a persimmon tree, loaded with the most luscious fruit and stopped and gathered some. On we went towards Paynesville, where Dr. Bankhead had lived for many years, and where Grandma Porter and all of her family had visited many, many times. The house had been destroyed by fire and all that remains are the avenues of wells, which stood one between each two negro cabins on the farm. This was Mrs. Gillum's father's home. There are some charming old homes still standing in Paynesville and I was glad to have seen them.

    We reached "Briar Patch" about two and had a refreshing luncheon, after which Mr. Gillum and I left the others to rest and took to the road again.

    This time we drove up to the Dorsey farm and walked all around. One room of the old house is still standing so the present occupants thought, the present house being well built by a Mr. Chilton. There they told us of the old family burying ground. We walked over to it and found the graves of Emma Rebecca, Lizzie Rebecca and Margaret Porter, infant daughters of Grandma and Grandpa Porter. Also a stone marked Larry Dorsey4 who died in his 33rd year. I do not know who he was – do you?* I learned when I was in Bowling Green, that cousin Lev Lawrence5 is still living there. Wasn't his Mother a sister of Great-grandmother Dorsey? Is there anything you would like to learn if I ever saw him?

    My visit came to an end all too soon. Frank came for me Tuesday afternoon. We met in Bowling Green. Mrs. Gillum is a very charming woman, a true Southern Aristocrat and Mr. Gillum a real Southern gentleman. They were wonderful to me and I feel so strongly drawn to them, that in my quest for Ancestors, I feel I had truly found real cousins.

    *The inclusion of this personal question has always suggested to me that Aunt Dot was really writing a letter to her sister-in-law, although much of the voice of this piece suggests a newsletter article.


    NOTES:


    1. Dorsey – Col. Edward Worthington Dorsey, originally from Baltimore, MD had a large farm across the road from the place where Jeremiah Roberts originally settled with his family in Pike County. Years later, the granddaughter of Edward Dorsey, Julia Porter, married Richard Morris Roberts, the son of Jeremiah Roberts.
    2. Cole was actually ‘Cale’ Dorsey – Caleb Dorsey, the sixth child of Edward Worthington Dorsey – and the only member of the Dorsey and Roberts families to fight in the Civil War. Caleb Dorsey never married, left Missouri after the bitter loss of the war, traveled through Mexico with a thought of settling there – but finally settled in Stanislaus County, CA. His Pike County family eventually joined him on the west coast, settling in San Joaquin County, CA.
    3. Again, must be “Cale” – or Caleb Dorsey. Only time I have ever heard of him owning a farm. An exhaustive search of Pike County land records has never produced any evidence that he owned or controlled a farm. He sold his rights to the estate of his father, who died in 1858, to his brother Thomas Beale Dorsey, prior to leaving for the war.
    4. Larry Dorsey was actually Larkin Dorsey – also a Dorsey from Anne Arundel County, MD – unmarried son of John Dorsey and Sarah Hammond. His younger brother, Sheredine also migrated to MO from MD, married and died in 1879 in Pike County.
    5. Cousin Levin Lawrence – and his mother who was Theresa Josephine Brown, a sister of Eleanor Elizabeth Brown, wife of Edward Worthington Dorsey.

He is the son of Jeremiah Roberts, who emigrated to Missouri in 1835, and settled near Prairieville, where he continued to reside, following the avocation of a farmer until a few years before his death, when he removed to Clarksville and engagged in mercantile pursuits...
  590. A History of Northeast Missouri, p 1522. John O Roberts acquired his education chiefly in the school of experience, which has given valuable training to so many of our biggest men, and he was "graduated from the mill of hard knocks." His father wished his sons to begin life under more favorable circumstances than he himself had done, and John O. began his career in 1847 as a clerk for H. D. Kent & Brother in Clarksville. His father succeeded that firm in the business in the following year, and from this store John O. entered the river service as a packet clerk in 1851 for the St. Louis & Keokuk Packet Company. He remained with this business until the death of his father, when he returned to the store and was thereafter identified with the merchandise busiess until 1862, when he engaged in milling as manager of the Imperial Milling Company.

  594. Old River Days. "In '54 and '55," said Mr. Roberts, "I worked for the St. Louis & Keokuk Packet Company, a line owning three boats, which weren't worth over $75,000. That company cleaned up as much as $150,000 clear profit in one season. And, of course, a season wasn't an entire year, either. It would open about March first and end in December or, in a mild winter, January.".

  596. A History of Northeast Missouri, p 1523. In 1857 the Clarksville, Paynesville & Prairieville Road Company was formed with Newton McDonald as president and John O. Roberts as secretary. The company was subsequently displaced by the Clarksville Road Company by a special act of the legislature of the state, and the construction of the road began at Clarksville. The estimated cost of the road was placed at $32,000, and that amount of money was provided for by the county court, the town of Clarksville and its citizens, and the citizens of the communities through which the road was to pass. The first five miles of road out of Clarksville was built at a cost of $5,000 per mile, and when the appropriation for the road was exhausted the road was not yet completed. The board directors met the deficiency by borrowing $10,000 to finish the work, and Mr. Roberts was one of the several men who guaranteed the payment of the note.
    This demonstration of practical public spirit enabled the company to connect the towns above named by gravel roads of the highest order, and the toll was placed at the limit of the law while funds were being raised to repay the loan in interest. With the debt disposed of, the board reduced the toll to a point sufficient to maintain the road, and they managed the affairs of the concern until the county, under a provision of law, took over the road and continued its management, with but little change of policy.
  597. A History of Northeast Missouri, p 1522. His father succeeded that firm in the business in the following year, and from this store John O. entered the river service as a packet clerk in 1851 for the St. Louis & Keokuk Packet Company. He remained with this business until the death of his father, when he returned to the store and was thereafter identified with the merchandise business until 1862, when he engaged in milling as manager of the Imperial Milling Company. This historic old mill was built in 1856 by Clifford, Roberts & Company, and in 1859 was destroyed by fire. Two years later it was rebuilt, and in the year following Mr. Roberts assumed charge of its operations. It was incorporated in 1880 and became the Imperial Milling Company.

  599. Centennial History of Missouri, Vol IV, p 822. The imperial mill is one of the largest and perhaps one of the oldest flouring mills in northeastern Missouri, for it was erected in 1856 and has been operated continuously to the present time. Its first management was under control of the E B Carroll & Co. In 1870 it was incorporated under the laws of Missouri and capitalized at thirty thousand dollars. John. O Roberts was made president and conducted its business with brilliant success until 1886, after which he discontinued his connection with it for a period of twelve years and then resumed its management, directing the affairs of the enterprise for another decade. The mill was then sold to the Gillum interests and Mr. Roberts became vice president, which position he held until his death in 1915. J. Robert Carroll is secretary and Claud L. Gillum the treasurer.
  600. A History of Northeast Missouri, p 1523. In 1871 he was one of three, including B P Clifford, Mr. Roberts, and Henry S.

His son, John O., Jr. is vice-president and Calvin L. Carroll, his son-in-law, is the cashier.

    Jefferson City, Dec 3. - A 60-year-old prohibition provision written into the deeds to the original townsite of Elsberry, Mo., in an attempt to forever stop the sale of intoxicating liquor in the business section of the community was ruled invalid today by the Missouri Supreme court, division No. 2. In 1879, Robert T. Elsberry, founder of the town; William McIntosh, John O. Roberts and Henry S. Carroll conveyed the land for the future little town. Records in the case disclose lengthy hearings in the lower court, which ruled against the claims of the Elsberry descendants. It was shown that during the lifetime of Robert Elsberry, and after the restrictions in the deeds were effective, "whisky was old in great abundance" in the town upon the restricted premises. Judge Westhues held that because of the widespread violation of the restrictions, known to Mr. Elsberry during his lifetime, the provisions of the deeds had been waived by him, and the descendants now could not recover.

  637. Missouri Masonic Grand Lodge, Email from Grand Masonic Lodge, Missouri. "When Richard Morris Roberts affiliated with FellowshipLodge #345, this meant that he was already a member some where, so thanks for the information about Clarksville, Missouri. I found that he was listed as a member of Clarksville Lodge #17, when it was chartered on October 8, 1830. I am sorry it did not give his degree dates but on records as old as this one is, no one had dates reported. So he left Clarksville Lodge #17 and joined with Fellowship Lodge #345. So he died as a Mason in good standing."

    Richard wasn't born in 1830 - so I'm assuming that this was a typo and have shifted it to 1860 - will leave it there until I can correct it with an accurate date.

Now at this late date I clearly should have looked for the disposition of the property to ensure that the grantee was Richard Morris Roberts. .

  656. Unidentified Newspaper, probably the Joplin Daily Herald. THE HAND OF DEATH; R. M. Roberts Falls Dead on the Street a Victim of Apoplexy of the Heart:
    Richard M. Roberts, ex-sheriff of Jasper county and probably the best known man in the county, left his home on the corner of Virginia avenue and Second street shortly before 7 o'clock this morning apparently in his usual state of health, but in less than fifteen minutes later he was carried back into the house unconscious and breathing his last.
    He had taken a bundle of his clothes down to the laundry on Second street, between Main and Joplin and then started back to Main street to go down to Marquis' for his breakfast. He had crossed Second street and was just in the act of stepping up on the cub stone at the corner of Main and Second, west side, when he fell back onto Second street. Some men on the street who saw him fall rushed to his assistance, but he was unconscious and apparently dying. Dr. Wolf, whose office is across the street, was summoned and at the suggestion of Col. Pierce, who happened to be at the scene, the men present picked up the prostrate man and carried him to his home and laid him tenderly on the bed and the doctor proceeded to examine him, but found without difficulty that he was beyond human aid and that he had fall a victim to apoplexy of the heart. He continued to breathe about ten minutes after the fatal stroke, but did not regain consciousness.
    The news of the sudden death as it spread along Main street caused everybody to stop and question, and looks of distress were plainly visible on the features of all, for everybody knew "Dick" Roberts and held him in high esteem.
    Mr. Roberts was about fifty six years old and had been a resident of Joplin since the fall of 1872 removing to this place from Hannibal, Mo. [interleaved - St. Louis] where he had married a most estimable young lady, Miss Julia Porter, daughter of Judge G. Porter. Shortly after his arrival here he and his brother-in-law, E. D. Porter, now president of the Rex Mining Co., engaged in the grocery business at the corner of Main and First streets. In 1880 he was elected sheriff of Jasper county, and he then retired from the mechatile(sic) business and gave his entire attention to his official duties which he did so creditably that he was re-elected two years later. After serving four years a sheriff he retired from office and engaged in business as a merchandise broker, which he continued in up to the time of his death.
    Just previous to his election to the office of sheriff he served two years as mayor of Joplin, having been nominated at a mass convention which was presided over by W. M. Carter and at the election he received a very large vote.
    In the meantime the saddest blow of his life befell him. His wife, whom he almost idolized, was taken from him by death. This occurred about twelve years ago. She left him three bright and promising children who have been a great comfort to him since, but he has seen them only occasionally, as after their mother's death realizing that it would be better for them, he sent the children to live with their grand parents at Hanibal(sic) and they have made that their home ever since. His children were Nellie, who is now Mrs. Dr. Young and lives at Stockton, Cal.; Miss Dot, aged sixteen, and master Porter, aged thirteen.
    Mr. Roberts has always, since the death of his wife, cherished her memory with the greatest affection, although he never spoke of her to his friends. During all these years he has kept the house in which she and he lived so happily, as nearly as possible as it was when she left it. He and the house and the furniture have grown old together and now he has gone to join her in the better world, and his body will be taken to Hanibal(sic) and laid to rest by the side of her whom he loved so dearly.
    Coroner Squire decided that it was not necessary to hold an inquest but very likely an autopsy will be held this evening and the body will be taken on the Memphis or Missouri Pacific night train to Kansas City and from there to Hanibal(sic).
    Mr. E. D. Porter, Mr. Roberts' brother-in-law and life long friend, was down on the Cowskin river fishing when the death occurred, but a telegram was sent him by special messenger from Noel this morning and he is expected to arrive on the evening Splitlog train.
    Deceased has a brother, John Roberts, living at Clarksville, Mo., also one in St. Louis, and a sister, Mrs. Downing, in Kansas City. The have all been notified and will probably be present at the funeral.
    Mr. Roberts was in comfortable circustances(sic) financially, owning considerable land in the county, some of which is lately proving to be valuable mining land. There is not a man in the county of Jasper who had so extensive a personal acquaintance as he, no matter what part of the county he was in nearly every man he met greeted him pleasantly and called him by name, and everybody had a good word to say of him.
    A.F. and A.M.: Fellowship Lodge No. 345, AF and AM, will meet its asylum at 7:30 to-night for the purpose of escorting the remains of Brother R. M> Roberts to the train. Members of Joplin Lodge No. 335 is cordially invited to meet with us. P.L. Crossman WM
    W. R. Fletcher, Sec'y

    Resolutions.: The Old Settler associations of Jasper county at a recent meeting adopted appropriate resolutions on the death of R M Roberts who died suddenly at Joplin and was laid to rest in Riverside cemetery. The resolutions are as follows:
    Resolved, 1st. That in the death of R. M. Roberts our city has lost a most estimable and worthy citizen, society one of it brightest lights, the poor a warm friend who gladly extended to them a helping hand and words of sympathy in their need and distress.
    2. That this organization deeply deplores the sudden death of our late associate and friend and that to his children and relatives we extend our deepest sympathy in this, their sad hour of affliction.
    3. That his noble deeds of love his words of kindness spoken his virtues and true nobleness of manhood will ever remain green and fresh in our memories; and while he sleeps the sleep that knows no wakening may we cherish the fond hope that we may meet again and draw consolation to our souls in the thought that the world is better for his having lived.

    THE DEATH ANGEL

    Richard M. Roberts Called Home After a Life of Activity and Usefulness

    The community was shocked yesterday to learn that Ex-Sheriff Richard M. Roberts had been suddenly called to a higher life. Just before 7 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Roberts, in his usual good health, left his home at the northeast corner of Second street and Virginia avenue and started to the Marquis chop house on Main street to get his breakfast. Before going to Marquis' he took a bundle of linen to the laundry on Second street between Main and Joplin streets and was returning when just as he stepped upon the curb at the southwest corner of the streets he threw up his hands and fell backward dead. Some men who were standing near, among whom was Col. J. V. Pierce, ran to lend him assistance, but when they raised him up he was quite dead. Death had come instantaneously. He gasped once but never breathed or moved after he fell. Death had come swiftly in the form of apoplexy or heart failure. He was tenderly lifted and carried to his home where Dr. Wolff attended him, but medical aid could avail nothing. Rapidly the sad news spread about the city and on every hand were expressed deep sorrow and regret at the sudden taking away of one of Joplin's oldest and best citizens. The body was at once prepared for burial by Undertaker Fletcher and a telegram was sent to E. D. Porter who had gone on a expedition to the Cowskin. Mr. Roberts was a brother-in-law of Mr. Porter, having married Mr. Porter's sister Miss Julia Porter, in Hannibal in 1866. Mr. Porter arrived home on the Splitlog last evening and at once determined to take the remains to Mr. Roberts' old home in Hannibal where the family burying ground is situated. Mr. Roberts had for many years been a Mason and Fellowship Lodge A. F. and A. M. took charge of the remains. Many old citizens called at the residence during the day to view the remains, which rested in their burial casket wrapped in their last eternal slumber with a peaceful smile upon the features which look as natural as though in the sleep of life. At 11 o'clock last night the remains, escorted by Fellowship Lodge, were taken to the Memphis depot for transportation to Hannibal. A large number of citizens accompanied the remains to the station. Mr. Porter has charge of the body en route. The funeral will take place in Hannibal, Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

    Biographical

    Richard M. Roberts was born in Ohio in 1837. In 1865 he went to Hannibal, Missouri, where he met and loved Julia Porter, a beautiful and charming girl, daughter of Judge Porter. They were shortly afterward married and in 1872 they removed to Joplin, where, at the corner of Main and First streets, Mr. Roberts and his brother-in-law, E. D. Porter, engaged in the grocery business. The young firm prospered. The young men became widely known as active, enterprising, bright business men. In 1878 Mr. Roberts was elected mayor of Joplin as a popular candidate and served two years. In 1880 he was elected sheriff of Jasper County. He then retired from business and gave up his time to the arduous duties of his office. In 1883 he was re-elected sheriff, and after serving his term of office with the honor he again re-entered business as a merchandise broker. In 1881 his beloved wife passed away and this was a terrible blow to him. She left three children. Nettie, who is now Mrs. Young, of Stockton, California, Miss Dot, aged sixteen, and Master Porter, thirteen years of age. The latter two have been living with their grandparents in Hannibal since the death of their mother. His wife was the idol of his heart and he held her memory sacred. After her death he permitted no one to touch an article in the house and today the furniture in the house stands as she left it before her fatal illness and during all these years he has lived there alone. Richard Roberts was an honest, conscientious generous hearted man, unswayed by prejudices and governed by noble impulses. A man of the people, he was familiarly known throughout Jasper county, and everyone called him "Dick." In his death Joplin loses a valuable public spirited citizen, his family a loving and indulgent father, his friends a true and lasting friendship and the world a good man, for whose life it is made better.

  909. Hannibal Courier-Post. Editorial at the time of his death:
    Frank T Hodgdon
    The measure of a man's stature in a community is measured generally by the contributions of service which he has made in its progress and well being. When this service is multiplied by a tenure of more than a half century of active interest, its measure grows.
    That is the sort of citizen Frank T Hodgdon was in a period running a span of well beyond fifty years in Hannibal.
    A resident since 1887 when he came here at the age of 14 years, he held a record outstanding both in length of time and magnitude of service, in his work as a citizen. Both in the business with which he was identified for so long and in a tremendous number of civic undertakings he was an untiring worker and leader.
    Mr. Hodgdon's business was banking. Entering this calling in the Farmers and Merchants bank when a young man just out of college, he worked through various stages to become cashier for many years and then president of the institution.
    Nor was his interest in the banking business merely confined to his job. He believed in the advantages of association of those engaged in a business and the helpfulness of "talking shop" with other bankers. More than a third of a century ago, he was recognized by the state's banking fraternity for his leadership and elected to office in the Missouri Bankers Association. In 1918 he became its president. Recognition of his interest was not only in his state. He served a term on the executive committee of the American Bankers association.
    It was not merely in his business that Mr. Hodgdon devoted his talent and his energy. During his long career one has only to list the civic and community undertakings of Hannibal to name the activities in which he had a prominent part.
    Chamber of Commerce movements, fraternal organizations work of the schools, the churches, the YMCA, Boy Scouts - one could count them by the score - were activities in which he made an important contribution of effort.
    Perhaps the crowning event of his "extrabusiness" activity was in the later years of his life, when as chairman of the Missouri State Cancer Hospital commission, appointed by the then governor, Lloyd C Stark, Mr. Hodgdon was in charge of the planning and building of the outstanding state-sponsored hospital for cancer treatment and research in the country. Ellis Fischell hospital today is testimonial of his energy and determination to render an outstanding service when called upon to do a job.

He had spent nearly all his entire business career with the bank, taking over as president in March, 1949. In May 1949, he resigned as cashier but remained as president and a director of the bank.
    After receiving his elementary and academic education in the Hannibal public schools and graduating from Hannibal High School in the spring of 1892, Mr. Hodgdon enrolled as a student in Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., in the fall following his graduation. During his summer vacations he worked in the Bank of Hannibal, predecessor to the Hannibal National Bank, thus acquainting himself with the business he was to follow most of his life, although at that time he had made no definite plans for the future.
    Finishing college in 1894, Mr. Hodgdon decided upon banking as a career and on September 28, 1895, entered the employ of the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Hannibal, the name of which was enlarged to the Farmers and Merchants Bank and Trust Company in 1927. His first position was that of individual bookkeeper.
    Prior to this he was bookkeeper for a short while for the Hannibal Oil Company, a subsidiary of the National Refining Company of Cleveland, O., and while attending high school he worked part time in the office of the Duffy-Trowbridge stove foundry and later in the office of the A. J. Stillwell Meat Company...
    Mr. Hodgdon was married to Annie Porter Roberts on June 2, 1898, in Trinity Episcopal Church by the Rev. Edward Porter Little. Surrounded by member of their family, their golden wedding anniversary was celebrated in 1948.
