HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY.
often occupies the highest ridges and is generally even-bedded, forming a good building stone.
Near Dunnegan's mill fine quarries could be opened of the lower Chouteau or lithographic limestone; also good quarries of cotton rock. Other quarries might be opened at various points on Sac River and Spring Creek. On Turkey and Childer's Creeks are favorable indications.
Iron, copper, lead, zinc and antimony are known to exist in the county, but on account of the distance to railroad trans- portation the mineral resources have never been developed. Coal has been found in nearly all parts of the county, notably in the western, southwestern and northeastern portions; but the coal beds have been developed only sufficiently to procure coal for the blacksmith shops of the country. By many it is thought that, with the advent of railroads in Cedar County, this mineral will become an important article of consumption and commerce. It is found on the banks of the streams, and in many other places near the surface.
Soils and Products .- No finer timber is found in the State, and the quantity is inexhaustible. It consists principally of maple, oak, walnut, hickory, sycamore and pecan, and would supply " raw material " for manufacturing establishments of fur- niture, lumber and agricultural implements
The soil is of two kinds, black loam and red mulatto, both very productive, the yield of such cereals as corn, wheat and oats, in favorable years, being very large. Tame grass, millet, and all varieties of northern sugar canes thrive abundantly, as do tobacco and vegetables. For agricultural purposes no por- tion of Southwestern Missouri presents greater advantages. Pasturage is good, water pure and abundant, with many well- sheltered localities, and stock of all kinds is, healthy. The county's proximity to market is another feature in its favor.
This is one of the finest fruit regions in the West. To plant fruit trees insures an abundance of fruit, especially apples, plums, cherries and pears. Small fruits of all varieties do well, and in quality and flavor are unequaled. Horticulture is extensively followed, and is very profitable.
Mineral Springs .- These abound in all parts of Cedar

County, and consist of chalybeate, sulphur and alum; the prin- cipal of which are found at the City of El Dorado Springs, in the northwestern part of the county, and at Jerico. These springs have become famous for the cures wrought by the use of their waters. It is claimed that the El Dorado chalybeate spring, as a curative agent, has no equal, surpassing, according to com- parative analysis, all other known waters of its class.

Attempted Bonding .- In the matter of railroad building, the wishes of a minority of the citizens of Cedar County found a promise of fruition in an order of the county court issued Febru- ary 16, 1869, appointing an election on May 4 following, at which the electors of the county should vote for and against the issue of bonds by the county to the amount of $200,000 in aid of any railway company who would accept them upon specified con- ditions and construct a railroad through the county. Owing, probably, to the public sentiment at the time, which was strongly against such a measure, and would have defeated it at the polls, this election was never held, and, August 13, 1869, the county court issued an order offering to utter bonds to the same amount to aid the construction of the Laclede & Fort Scott Railroad upon certain conditions therein noted.
At a meeting of the board of directors of the Laclede & Fort Scott Railroad Company, held at Fort Scott, August 28, 1869, it was ordered that the subscription of Cedar County to the capital stock of the company be accepted with the conditions annexed.
The president and board of directors of the railroad company in June, 1871, entered into a contract with George A. Fitch and others for the building, completing and fully equipping of the Laclede & Fort Scott Railroad from a point at or near Lebanon, Laclede County, to Fort Scott, Kan., and this contract required a modification of the last-mentioned order of subscription on the part of the county court of Cedar County. By a new order, issued July 18, 1871, certain modifying conditions were made.
In November following the court took action in this matter. thus:
Whereas, this court did on the 18th day of July, A. D. 1871, make an order modify- ing an order made by this court on the 3d day of August, A. D. 1869, subscribing $200,000 to the capital stock of the Laclede & Fort Scott Railroad Company, by the terms of which late order the same was to be void if not accepted by the Laclede & Fort Scott Railroad Company, and the said acceptance filed with the clerk of this court on or before the IIth day of September, A. D. IS71, and, whereas, said acceptance was not filed as prescribed by the terms of said order, and said order, made as aforesaid, on the 18th day of July, A. D. 1871, is hereby amended, rescinded and for naught held.
At a time when it was a question in the public mind if the county court would issue the bonds as proposed, and railroad and anti-railroad agitation was rife, excitement ran high, and
357
HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY.
there were those who did not hesitate to threaten the members of the county court with violence, in case they should sign the lands or any portion of them. The Laclede & Fort Scott Rail- road Company failed to comply with the conditions upon which the bonds were to be issued, and some years since the circuit court declared all action taken by the county court looking to the bonding of the county for the purposes of railway construction to be void and of no effect, and this practically ended discussion of the matter; though the Laclede & Fort Scott Railroad Com- pany has brought suit against the county to compel the court to issue the bonds in accordance with its original intentions. It is not believed that this action at law can result adversely to the county, and no trouble is apprehended from it.
Other Bonds and Finances .- No bonds have been issued by the county court, except from time to time for the erection of needed public buildings, and the payment of such has been amply provided for. The county is practically without debt, and the rate of taxation is low. In this respect it is fortunate above some of its sister counties, and presents an added reason why it is good for location or investment.
SETTLEMENT AND EARLY AFFAIRS.
The territory embraced within the limits of what is now Cedar County was first settled in the year 1832. The pioneers were Robert Graham, Thomas English, John Crisp and a Mr. Crump, who located near the once site of Dunnegan & Mont- gomery's mill, on the Sac River, two miles east of Stockton, coming at the same time, and arriving November 17 of the year mentioned. A large, hollow sycamore tree at first furnished shelter for a part of the little band of adventurers. At this time the red man roamed over the country with much of his native freedom, and the wild animals indigenous to this latitude were plentiful here.
Early Experiences .- Pioneer experiences are always inter- esting. The earliest habitations of the pioneers in Cedar were of the most primitive description, hastily built of logs, and illy provided with the conveniences of life. The roofs of some of
358
STATE OF MISSOURI.
them were of bark, and others were roofed with bark and skins. Few had windows, and in their walls window-holes even were not too numerous. No glass was obtainable for some time after set- tlement began. At first blankets served as doors, suspended, curtain-like, over apertures left for ingress and egress. There were no stoves for some years, and at first even the rudest fire- places were not often to be seen. Many of the cabins were with- out floors, and such as prevailed were rough-hewn " puncheon " floors. The furniture in use was of the simplest kind. In one house which has been described, bedsteads and tables were pro- vided by driving stakes in the ground and resting hewn planks upon poles extending from the tops of the stakes to auger-holes in the logs of the walls; chairs were merely blocks of wood or the most easily constructed stools, and the fireplace was simply a spot on the ground underneath a hole in the roof through which the smoke escaped.
Robert Graham went nearly sixty miles to mill, and about once a year to Springfield to do his trading. That was the nearest trading point, and he was often given errands to do for his neighbors and for people living along the way.
John Williams built the first mill on Cedar Creek, in Washing- ton Township. It was not until settlement had advanced con- siderably that Crow's and Bell's mills were erected. The Dunne- gan & Montgomery mill is well remembered, and Caplinger's mill has been known for years. The first merchants in the county were Tilton & Sanders, at Stockton. The first election held in Cedar County, under the county organization, was in 1845, and the voting in the different municipal townships then in existence was at the following designated places: In Madison, at the house of Richard Tatum; in Jefferson, at Bell's mills; in Linn, at the house of Jackson Cook; in Benton, at the house of Henry Earl; and in Cedar, at the house of Anderson Morton. Following are the names of the judges of election in their respective townships: Madison, James Jackson, Richard Tatum, Thomas English; Jef- ferson, Jacob Dixon, James Simrell, William Brasher; Linn, John Ruth, R. S. Mckinney, John Satterfield; Benton, Henry Earl, Charles L. Clark, Joseph B. Carrico; Cedar, Josiah Edwards, Anderson Morton, Burgess Hurt. The first justices of the

peace appointed for the several townships were: Madison, Abra- ham Loveall, Absalom Baker, Richard Tatum; Jefferson, James Simrell, John B. Ingram, James M. Frazier, George R. Cowan; Linn, Robert Hoggin, John Ruth, Thomas Ross, William Powell; Cedar, James Smith, David Copeland; Benton, Charles L. Clark, David W. Martindale, Elisha Smith. The first overseers of road districts were: Thomas Gordon, William Perkins, James Jackson and Robert Walker.
Roads and Improvements. - Among the first necessities of the early residents of the county after improvements had been made in different localities, were roads to connect them and afford communication with the county seat and the outside world. In May, 1846, Nathan Shirley, Josiah V. Edwards and John B. Gordon were appointed to view and mark out a county road lead- ing from the county town to the county line at Packard's Ford on Clear Creek, and Andrew McWilliams, John Edsall and Nathan Parker, Jr., to survey for a proposed change in the State road from Clinton, Mo., to Fayetteville, Ark., the substitute portion to leave the old road near William Pankey's and intersect it again near Andrew Stewart's. May 19 a committee appointed to survey a State road from Bolivar to Fort Scott, through Cedar County, made a report to the county court which was approved. Jacob Rae, Washington Crabtree and Henry Davis were ap- pointed to lay out a road from the county seat to the St. Clair County line, in the direction of Osceola, to cross the Sac River at Caplinger's mills, and, June 16, James Frazier, Joseph B. Ingram, John Simmons and James Miller were appointed to survey a road from the county town to the Polk County line to intersect a road through Polk County in the direction of Hermitage. August 17, James S. Conner, Ira D. Bryles and Alexander W. Johnson were appointed to lay out " a county road from Stockton to the Dade County line, to intersect a road leading from Greenfield to Bell's mills between Ross' mills and the Big Sac River and Joseph English's place." On the same day, a remonstrance having been presented to the county court " against a review of a road from Stockton via Blakey's mills, in the direction of Her- mitage," William Davis, George R. Cowan and Robert C. Walker were appointed commissioners to lay out said road anew. June
360
STATE OF MISSOURI.
21, 1847, James M. Blakey was authorized to keep a ferry on Big Sac River, on the county road leading from Stockton, by way of Blakey's mill to the Polk County line.
Wild Animals, Fowl, and Fish .- In its pioneer period, Cedar County was infested with all kinds of wild animals and fowls common to its latitude. Such buffalo as were not destroyed by early hunters fled to the westward and soon disappeared. Wolves, panthers and wild-cats are almost extinct. Deer long remained in considerable numbers, and bear are seen occasionally to this day. Smaller game and wild turkeys and ducks are abundant. Fish are plentiful and of good size.
Indians .- Cedar County has no exciting Indian history. Roving bands of Indians at times traded with the settlers, main- taining friendly relations with them and seldom threatening them or molesting their property. They have never returned in any considerable numbers since about 1840.
First Birth, Death and Marriage .- The first birth in Cedar County of a white child was that of Susan Jane Graham, October 13, 1833. She was a daughter of Robert and Ann Graham, and married George W. Sallee, and died in 1888. The first marriage occurred in 1833, the contracting parties being John Crisp and. Melinda, daughter of Thomas English. The first burial was that of James Hopper, who was interred six miles southwest of Stock- ton in a black walnut log dug out like a trough. The services were conducted by Rev. J. J. Johnson (Baptist), and were attended by not more than fifteen people, among whom were Thomas Graham and his mother.
The First Preacher and Physicians in the county were Rev. J. J. Johnson and Drs. Samuel W. Horn and William Gordon. The pioneer dominie was a good man, universally liked, and popularly called " Uncle Jimmie." Dr. Gordon is dead. Dr. Horn is living at Stockton at an advanced age.
