19th anniversary celebration, Daily Mirror (Glencoe, Oklahoma)

"The Family celebrated the event With a Reunion
Forty-nine years ago, Rev. Thos. Boderjack, at his home five miles from Mountain View, Howell county, Missouri, spoke the necessary words that united in marriage A. W. Stokes and Miss Eudosia Walker. Last Thursday, July 30, 1925, the event was commemorated by a gathering of all the living members of the family, their wives and children at the home of the aged couple in Glencoe.
It was the first time for more than twenty-five years that all the sons had sat at the family table at the same time. It was the intention to celebrate the fiftieth aniversary but some one made a mistake and after all the plans were laid, the mistake was discovered but it was decided to go ahead and celebrate.
A. W. Stokes was born in Indiana November 1, 1854 and lived there and in Clay county, Missouri, untill 1875, when he moved to Howell county, Missouri, where he married, raised his family and continued to reside until 1912, when he traded farm with Allen Bowen and moved to the neighborhood of Glencoe. In 1918 he moved to town, where he has since resided.
Mr. Stokes is a living example of applied thrift. He was born with no silver spoon in his mouth, has been a farmer all his life and has always resided in a "poor man's country," yet he has accumulated enough that he and his wife can live in comfort the rest of their days without work, if they so desired but they are not satisfied to remain idle.
Mrs. Stokes is a native of Hickman county, Tennessee, having been born on December 15, 1854, and is the mother of 11 children, six of whom are living. She is a member of the Methodist church, while Mr. Stokes belongs to nothing except the horse club.
All the living children, their wives and the grandchildren were present at the reunion and are as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Stokes, of Stillwater.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stokes, and four children, of Glencoe
Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Stokes and four children, of Apache, Oklahoma.
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Stokes and four children, of Glencoe.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stokes and three children, of near Stillwater.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Stokes and five children, of near Glencoe.
The many friends of this estimable old couple will join the Mirror in wishing them many more happy anniversaries."

"Doc" and Eudocia Stokes in Ripley's Believe It or Not column

"Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Stokes of Glencoe, Oklahoma
are the same age (86), same weight (86), same height (60 in.)
and have been married 66 years."

The Stockton Mail, 19 October 1888

HORRIBLY SCALDED
A Baby Falls Into a Kettle of Boiling Brine
Calvin, the three-year-old son of W. K. Walker, was frightfully scalded on Wednesday last at the parents' residence on Channel street, near Aurora, by falling into a kettle of boiling brine which the cook had just removed from the stove. The child stumbled over it while walking backwards, sitting down in it and splashing the brine over its body and legs, and the skin came off in large patches. The burns are so extensive that there is doubt whether the baby will recover. Drs. Harkness and Gibbons are in attendance. 

Bio from FindAGrave entry:

ROBERT "BOB" CHRISTOPHER THOMAS SR.

Robert Christopher Thomas, known by most as Bob, was born July 23,1916 at Mountain View, Missouri, the son of John Wesley Thomas and Bessie Viola Koonce Thomas, both of Missouri.

A few months after his birth, seeking better farming opportunities, the family relocated to Lincoln County, Oklahoma.

His elementary education was obtained in Oklahoma, and in 1935 he graduated from Chandler High School, Chandler, Oklahoma. Then followed two years at Junior A & M College at Tishomingo, Oklahoma, and one year at Central State College, just north of Oklahoma City.

On June 26,1938 Bob married Edna Ruth Goodbary, in the Friends Christian Church, north of Chandler, Oklahoma, and this union were born two children, Roberta Ann Mullings in 1939, and Robert C. Thomas Jr 1953.

In 1943 Bob enlisted in the US Army at Ft. MacArthur, San Pedro, and completed him basic infantry training at Camp Robert, California. He shipped overseas and joined the 2nd Special Brigade, Army Amphibious Engineers, 592nd Shore and Boat Regiment, and ended the war in Inchon, Korea. It is worth noting that the 2nd Special Brigade made more hostile beach landings than any other unit in WWII. He returned from his service overseas in 1946 and went back to work at Todd Shipyard.

In late 1946, Bob along with D.W.Clark established the C & T Electric Company in Newport Beach. After his partner's death in 1949, Bob moved the business to Santa Ana where he established Thomas Electric. Over the years he performed a great deal of service and repair work for many of the old early families of Orange County, resulting in friendships of which he was extremely proud. He never advertised his business, relying on word of mouth, the quality of work, and his intergity and reputation. In 1995, after nearly 50 years in business, Bob and Ruth closed the doors to Thomas Electric and retired his electrical contracting liscense.

Bob was a member of the Friends Christians Church, and was a past president of Toatstmaster's International, but he especially enjoyed his work with the many different Masonic organizations here in Southern California, and was partcularly proud of his nearly 50 years of supporting youth groups such as Job"s Daughters and DeMolay.

Biography of Eliza A. (Walker) Paul

Mrs. Eliza A. Paul, a pioneer of Marshall County, residing on section 26, Blue Rapids City Township, is a native of Madison County, Ill., but when a child was taken to Rock Island County, Ill., by her parents. She was born Jan. 26, 1836. She was a daughter of the Rev. Samuel A. and Nancy (Thompson) Walker. Her father was a native of Virginia, and of English descent, his ancestors having come to this country with the Jamestown Colony. Her mother was of Irish ancestry and a native of Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. Walker were early settlers of Rock Island County, Ill., in which they had located immediately after the Black Hawk War. To them were born five children, of whom three now survive: Sarah, the wife of Samuel Swank, whose home is in Otoe County, Neb.; Mrs. Paul, and Mary, now the widow of William Lemon, in Ohio. The deceased bore the names of Harriet and Julia, respectively. Mrs. Paul grew to maturity in her native county and State, acquiring her education largely under the instruction of her father, who was a teacher, as well as a pioneer preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In the time of Mrs. Paul's youth, public schools were not known in Illinois, and the instruction which she received outside her home was acquired in private schools.

On June 30, 1853, Eliza Walker was married in Rock Island County, to William Paul, a native of County Antrim, Ireland, born Feb. 16, 1830. He was a son of Samuel and Martha Paul, and of remote Scotch ancestry. The union of Mr. and Mrs. Paul resulted in the birth of five children: Martha, the wife of Thomas Short; S. Frank' Sarah, wife of J. N. Wannamaker; Clara, wife of Wesley Miller, and William, all living in this county.

Mr. Paul, when seventeen years old emigrated to America, and remained for a short time in Quebec, Canada. Thence he removed to St. Lawrence County, N.Y., where he resided about three years. He went to Rock Island county, Ill., where he remained until 1859. he then with his wife and family emigrated to this county, and homesteaded eighty acres of land, which comprises a part of the estate on which his widow still lives. The land was raw prairie, and Mr. Paul was practical without means when he settled upon. At his death he left an estate valued at about $10,000. This success resulted from the industry and energy of the young couple, who endured many of the privations consequent to pioneer life, and practiced great self-denial in the earlier years of their residence in the State. Mr. Paul found an efficient helpmate and counselor in his wife. She retains possession of the home farm, owning 180 acres of land there, and fifty-fivee acres in Blue Rapids Township.

Mr. Paul was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In politics he was a Republican. He had served as a member of the School Board of his district and likewise as Justice of the Peace. During the Civil War he served nearly three years in the Union army, the most of that time being spent in fighting the guerillas in Arkansas and the Indian Territory, together with some raids in Missouri. His death, which occurred Aug. 12, 1886, was occasioned by disease contracted in the army. In his death the county lost one of her earliest pioneers and most respected citizens. He was always in favor of those movements which would tent to improve and elevate society, and advance the interests of the county. He was a kind and loving father and husband, and his death was regretted by all who knew him.

Mrs. Paul being one of the earliest settlers in this part of the county, enjoys an extended acquaintance, and is an active member of society. She is a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and is held in high respect by all who know her. 

Biography of Roswell Shelley
Mr. Shelley was bon in Iowa in the year 1846, and came with his parents to Oregon in 1848. His first home in Oregon was in Lane County, where he lived until 1857 when he moved to Polk County, and that has continued to be his home with the exception of a few years spent in Wasco County. Dealt in merchandise for several years. In 1882 was elected county clerk, and was placed in nomination again in 1884 for the second term but was defeated. Owns city property in Dalls. Married Miss Mary L. Tatom in 1878, and has two children--Ralph D., and Hugh T. 

Biography of Samuel Francis Paul, son of Eliza A. (Walker) Paul

Samuel Francis Paul, a native son of the state of Illinois, and today one of the most progressive and substantial farmers and stockmen of Marshall county, and the representative of the Thirty-ninth district to the state Legislature, was born at Rock Island on January 28, 1856, the son of William and Eliza A. (Walker) Paul, who were natives of Belfast, Ireland, and Madison county, Illinois, respectively.

William Paul was born on February 16, 1830, and died on August 12, 1889. . . .[He] located at Rock Island, Illinois, where he engaged in general farming. There he was married on June 30, 1853 to Eliza A. Walker, who was born on January 26, 1836, being the daughter of Samuel A. Walker and wife, who were natives of Virginia, their early home being on the banks of the James river, and where her father was born in 1785. He was one of the early settlers of Madison county, Illinois, and was a well-known Methodist minister of that section. After having spent many years in the work in the county, Mr. Walker moved to Rock Island and in 1858 moved to Marshall county, and later died in Nebraska City, Nebraska. His life was one of usefulness, and his influence on the moral and the social life of the community, was for the general good. The life of a minister was a hard one in those days, yet Mr. Walker accepted his responsibilities with a determination that brought success to his work. He was held in the highest regard by all with whom he came in contact, and his influence for the better life was keenly felt throughout the district in which he worked. He was a man of the highest ideals and of pleasing qualities. To him the people of Madison county were greatly indebted for the high standard of morality that he set in that early pioneer settlement.

To William and Eliza Paul were born the following children: Martha A., Samuel Francis, Sadie L., Clara P. and William F. Martha A. Johnson is a resident of Sheridan, Arkansas; Sadie L. Wanamaker resides at Blue Rapids, Kansas; Clara P. Miller lives at Clepsen Beach, Washington, and William F. lives at Edna, Texas.

Conversation with Walter's granddaughter, Laurie (Mudge) Nelson of Troy, Idaho, on 22 November 2013.

This is the right Walter Warren. Walter had one daughter from his second marriage. That daughter, Vera Chapman (Warren) Mudge did not know until her mother was dying, long after Walter was dead, that Walter had been married before. When Vera was in her 80's she got a call from a Robert Warren, some relative of Walter's, and found out that his first wife, whom she now knew to be "Della," had three children by him. Vera, an only child, had never known that she had half-siblings out there. She was VERY upset by the information.

Vera said that what she learned of her father did NOT fit with the kind, loving father that she knew.

Laurie also said to call her older sister Nancy (whom I had tried to call the previous day).

Email from John Larson, director of the Polson Museum in Hoquiam, Grays Harbor County, Washington, sent 13 Augst 2006.

"Hello,
Our community librarian, Roberta Holmes, passed along your research request regarding Levi Henderson Walker and his life here in Hoquiam as a fireman. Our museum, the Polson Museum, will be more than happy to do some research on Mr. Walker as well as look for photographs of the fire department around the 1920s. Our main researcher volunteers here on Wednesdays and I'll be passing along your info to him this week. I did do a preliminary search in our collections database and see that we do have a postcard of Hoquiam firefighters that lists a "Walker" as pictured. We also have another HFD photo that lists a Walker as well. I'd guess that this is the great uncle you're looking for so we'll be digging out those images this week.
I did give a call to our local mortuary, Coleman Mortuary, who has been in business here now for nearly 100 years. They handled his death arrangements and had some pretty good information on file.
Levi H. Walker was born on June 16, 1881 in Willo Springs, Missouri and he died on November 19, 1936 in Hoquiam, Washington. At the time of his death, he was a service station operator at "Walker & Sandstrom" (which we'll do some additional digging on this Wed.). He resided at 714 Hill Ave. in Hoquiam and had lived in Hoquiam for 35 years. He had a sister, M.E. Kelley, who lived in Amory, Mississippi and the records did not indicate who his mother and father were. He is buried at Sunset Memorial Park here in Hoquiam. The funeral arrangements were handled by Reuben Sandstrom who was his partner at the service station.
I took the liberty of phoning Basil Sandstrom, a member of our museum, and found out that Reuben was his father. Unfortunately, Levi Walker died when Basil was only four so he had no recollection of Mr. Walker. Basil did note that Levi dated his aunt (Reuben's sister) Mabel Sandstrom and resided with her at the home that was formerly Reuben Sandstrom's parents (Reuben lived at 722 Hill just a few houses down from his parents original home at 714). Anyway, Basil didn't really know much more about Levi as his dad never talked much about the man.
Well, I hope this info helps. I'll be writing again with more info and likely with some photographic images as well. It may take us a week or two to get things pulled together for you so stay tuned. Please feel free to contact me with any other info you think may be helpful in our search or other details you'd like us to look for.
Sincerely,

"Robert W. was born in Mountain View, MO and attended Center Hill School. He received an eighth grade education which was as far as he could go. In addition to working on the farm, he made telephone poles for 75 cents a day and saved his money to buy a buggy. He married Lottie Webber on November 23,1911 at the courthouse in West Plains, Missouri.

Lottie was born in IN; her mother died when she was 2 1/2 and she went to live with her grandparents. Her father remarried when she was 5 and they moved to a farm near Plainsville. When she was 13, the family moved to Mountain View, where she attended Center Hill Church and School.

The couple lived in Mt. View until May 5, 1912 when the entire Stokes family moved to Oklahoma. Bob and Lottie lived with his parents until December at which time they rented a farm near Bethel. In 1924 they bought a farm northeast of Glencoe, the "Abe Cobb" place. In 1958 the couple retired from farming and moved to Glencoe. The couple had six children."

Irene (Clark) DeBoard, obituary, Hood River, 2005
Dessie Irene DeBoard died Friday, Dec. 30, 2005, in Sublimity, Ore. She was 97 years of age.
A funeral service was to be held Tuesday, Jan. 3, at 11 a.m. at Anderson's Tribute Center in Hood River, Ore. Burial will follow at Pine Grove Butte Cemetery in Hood River.
Dessie Irene Clark was born on Oct. 16, 1908, the first of seven children born to John Lawson Clark and Minnie Matilda Story.
They lived in the small village of Amy, Mo., which consisted of a post office, a church and the general store owned by her grandfather John C. Clark.
Her mother died when Irene was 13, leaving a heavy responsibility on her young shoulders for caring for her younger brothers and sisters.
Irene married Floyd Wilson DeBoard on Aug. 29, 1929. The couple moved from Springfield back to the Mountain View area, where Floyd taught through the years in many of the rural schools of the region, and Irene raised their growing family.
In June of 1951 Floyd and Irene, with a family of seven children (ages 4 to 20), made the move to Oregon. They settled in Hood River, where most of their younger children graduated from high school.
In 1957, Floyd died quite suddenly. Irene and her youngest son, Bill DeBoard, moved to Salem, Ore., where she worked and Bill finished school.
She continued to make her life in Salem for the next 40 years. She attended the First Baptist Church in Salem until she moved to assisted living at Marion Estates in Sublimity, in 1997.
Irene was fashionable as a young woman in the clothing of the 1920's, and she maintained those high standards for personal grooming and attire throughout her long life; hair, nails, makeup, and jewelry were important to her. She loved to shop, and particularly enjoyed Christmas shopping for her children and grandchildren each year.
She loved watching Cardinal baseball on television, but her greatest hobby was cutting and piecing quilts; many of her quilts were sent from Oregon back to Missouri to be quilted by Mary DeBoard at the Ladies Aid of the Forest Dell community near Mountain View.
Irene particularly enjoyed family gatherings, and looked forward to her annual birthday party; the family gathered in Sublimity to celebrate her 97th birthday this past October. Her powers of observation and perception continued to amaze her family and friends to the very end of her life.
Irene is survived by her seven children: Lu Walker of Beaverton Ore.; Cora Leah Henshaw of John Day, Ore.; Donald DeBoard of Salem; Edwin DeBoard of Hood River; Jaunita Cross of Prineville, Ore.; Snoden DeBoard of Prineville, Ore.; and Bill DeBoard of Sherwood, Ore. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild.

Letter from Wilda (Phipps) Beasley, about 2002
"Janis,
I have just this morning received two messages from Jeff Reece (Rhysaprhys@aol.com) and he included in one, a message from you dated 10/27/02 - giving census records of THORNTON, WALKER, DRYMAN in Texas and Howell Co. Missouri. Back in 1981 I was corresponding with Robert Wesley Stokes, son of Eudocia (Walker) and Albert Wesley Stokes, daughter of Helton Rutherford Walker and Ester Elizabeth Thornton. Robert Stokes sent me the following list of children for William "Bud" Walker and Jane Cox: Six Children: (1) Henderson Walker (2)John Walker (3) Claude Walker (4) Nola Walker (5) Tom Walker (6) Goldie Walker After William Walker died, Jane Cox married Henry Dryman and they had 4 children; he gave me the following: (1) Frank Dryman (2) Ben Dryman 3 and 4: died young, buried: Moffett Cemetery I also corresponded with a Ben Dryman in Dec 1981 (who I presume was #2 child) and with a Mrs. Carl Caton in Dec. 1981 - they gave me the following information: Henderson Walker was a fire Chief in Okam, Washington - was married - had 1 daughter. John Walker - never maried - buried: Moffett Cemetery Claude Walker - Killed in Mines in Deadwood, N.Dakota - he never married Nola Walker - lived in Willow Springs, MO, married to Mart Kelly, had 3 children: Thelma, Basil and the other died young. Mart Kelly worked for the railroad. Nola and Mart were already deceased in 1981 Tom Walker - was in World War I - never married - died in 1918 with the flu - buried: Moffett Cemetery Goldie Walker - lived with mother and step-father - never married - buried: Moffett Cemetery. This Moffett Cemetery is in Hutton Valley - I have never gone to it - my Dad (Tim Phipps) was going to take me there, but before we got to it, my mother had a severe stroke and was in the Nursing Home in Willow Springs and we just never took the time to go. Then, my Dad passed away in 1995 and I just never took the time to go." 

Letter to the Editor, November 1929, Fair Play (Missouri) Advocate
"This is to advise you of the change of my post office address, which now is Fayetteville, North Carolina, Rfd. 17. My former address was Fort Bragg, North Carolna. I was retired as of July 1 last after 32 years of Government service as follows: sixteen years civilian service, U. S. Army Sergeant and first Sergeant; six years civilian service, Internatl Revenue agent Island of Puerto Rico; ten years civilian service, general foreman of labor, Quartermaster Corps.
I often think of our old Ozark Hills, and the old fishing and swimming holes. I often wonder about my old chums and school mates. I left the Hartley settlement a lad of sixteen, Sept. 1891, and have been back only once; but I'm coming back to attend some of those Hartley reunions my brother, Asa keeps writing about. I notice he always mentions the EATS and believe me Mr. Editor he's some eater/ Well I don't suppose [sic] all this interest [six] you much, so I'll stop. You might mention my new address in your valuable paper.
Fraternally yours,
Geo. W. Hartley"
