ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
The newspaper made errors: John Dutton was really John Hutton. Names are misspelled. Dates are wrong. Many events -- even deaths -- were not mentioned in the paper.
I made mistakes. Microfilm is often blurry and indistinct. Numbers particularly are difficult: 2s and 3s look alike; 6s and 8s look alike. Items were scattered about. Who would think of looking for a birth announcement among the want-ads? Items were overlooked because headline writers tend to be cutesy: "Prosecutor Jones Gets New Assistant" actually means his wife gave birth to a son. A marriage was reported under the headline: "To Consolidate." It is easy to overlook such whimsical items.
Many items which I omitted nevertheless mention family relationships. Before radio and television people spent much time visiting -- usually relatives. There are thousands of items reporting such comings and goings: "Lucy Belle Smith returned to Ashtabula, Ohio, to visit her grandmother Violet Vales." Such items were not included in this index but nevertheless often reveal family relationships. The reader (if he has enough patience) might do well to read through such items.
The reader is strongly urged to CHECK EVERYTHING. He should check the microfilm himself. He should check with other sources: birth and death certificates, tombstone records, probate records, funeral home records, city directories, census records. Fortunately the Springfield-Greene County Library has many of these records.
CENTENNIAL
The year 1929 was the centennial year of the founding of Springfield and June 16 -- June 23 was the centennial week. There were all sorts of celebrations. There was a magnificent evening parade on Wednesday with illuminated floats. I remember this as one of the very best parades I have ever seen. On Thursday there was a pageant at the Shrine Mosque with over 1400 participants. There were many family reunions, exhibits of old photographs, old furniture, old clothing. There was a birthday cake three feet in diameter. The newspaper reported all these events and also ran interviews with many old timers. There were other articles dealing with the history of Springfield.
I was somewhat surprised to read (page 319) that Mrs. Alice Holland -- whom I remember for her ability to quote long passages from the Bible from memory -- had indulged in "kissing games" in her youth (!) to the tune of "King William was King James' son" (page 403). Miss Marion Bissett, later a teacher in high school, presided as Queen of the Ozarks. William J. Miles recalled when he fought in the Battle of Springfield in January 1863 (page 338) making it seem much more vivid than the simple factual accounts in the history books. Isaac F. King recalled a song the Civil War soldiers sang (page 373). There were descriptions of the Square as it was in 1868 (page 337) and in 1876 (page 384) and photos of it at various times.
In one quite interesting feature the forecasts made by various Springfieldians about what it would be like 100 years in the future were reported. Some forecasts were quite accurate. One man predicted that home cooking would no longer be done. Instead people would get their pre-cooked, packaged meals from their grocery. Miss Ida Ausherman predicted (page 315) that a woman would run for President. Some predictions were wildly fanciful -- Prof. B. F. Finkel, for instance, thought in the future they would pave a street without digging it up a few weeks later.
One of the most useful articles, I thought, was the chronology of Springfield history compiled by Dr. E. M. Shepard (page 365). Dr. Shepard gave the actual date when each event occurred. So many of the history books are rather vague about dates.
Another article (page 309) listed many of the people who had lived in Springfield fifty years or more.
There was an account of how New Year's was celebrated in the old days (page 6) and also an account of the hazards of travel in the days before the railroad reached Springfield (page 336).
.
Many interesting articles were printed in the Sunday paper but unfortunately many of the Sunday papers are missing from the microfilm. The Daily News is missing for the entire period January 27 through June 27. I don't know why. It seems to me there was vague talk of a fire. I was so impressed with all the historical articles in the newspaper that I saved the Leader [We did not take the Daily News] for the entire week June 16 -- June 23. I had these laminated and gave them to the Public Library but they seem to have disappeared. They are all on microfilm anyway except for Sunday, June 16, and Sunday, June 23, both of which are missing.
For those interested in local history, a perusal of the newspapers during this period would be richly rewarding.

In 1929 the Drury campus did not extend south of Central street. Charles E. Harwood's house was on the southwest corner of Benton and Sycamore (now Brower) -- see page 859. Later he built the house on the northwest corner of Benton and Lynn. The obituary of his son Edward Charles Harwood (who died April 23, 1944) says Drury college was founded in that house -- 1307 Benton (old number). Probably the founding of Drury college was discussed in both houses. Such decisions are rarely made instantaneously.
