MIDDLETON TOWNSHIP.
The first public record found of the name of Middleton occurs under date of July 7, 1845, when James Pearman petitioned for a license to keep a dram shop in the town of Middleton, in Lafayette county, in the house owned by David K. Palmer. The county clerk was ordered to " issue a license authorizing the said James Pearman to keep a dramshop at the place aforesaid for six months from this date, upon the payment of the sum of $25.00 as a state tax and $18.75 county tax, and the ad valorem tax on the sum of $126.75, the amount of his stock subject to this tax." This item is of historic interest, as showing the liquor-license system in vogue at that time.
The next mention of Middleton is September 7, 1847, when it occurs incidentally in a petition for a road which was to "commence at the state road leading from Boonville to Lexington at or near where the said state road crosses the county line between Lafayette and Saline county, to run thence in a northwesterly direetion to the town of Middleton, etc. But on July 1st, 1850, this town of Middleton had its name changed to Waverly; its boundaries were much enlarged, and it became an incorporated vil- lage. The petition for incorporation was signed by Charles M. Cowan and thirty four others, claiming to be more than two-thirds of the tax- paying inhabitants of the village. David Callahan, Lewis Fairchild, Elisha M. Edwards, Charles M. Cowan, and Alexander Skillen were appointed as the first board of trustees of the new corporation.

Middletonians are happy or not. The boundary lines of the new town- ship were established as follows: "Commencing where the range line between Ranges No. 24 and 25 intersects the Missouri river, thence south with said range line to where the same intersects the township line July 4th, 1848: hence its birthday will always be celebrated, whether the
But MIDDLETON TOWNSHIP was born into this world of tribulation on .between townships 49 and 50; thence east with said township line to Saline county ; thence with the boundary line between Saline and Lafayette counties, north to the Missouri river; thence up said river with the mean- ders thereof to the place of beginning." And these boundaries have not since been changed.
EARLY SETTLEMENT.
As far as reported, the first settlers who appeared in this neighborhood were Alexander Galbraith, from Kentucky, who purchased 200 acres of land on Sections 22 and 14, Township 51, Range 24; a Mr. Dustin who located on Section 24; John D. Thomas, from Kentucky, Littleberry Estes and Washington Shroyer, who settled near by. The first female child born in this settlement was Susan Estes, daughter of Littleberry Estes.
The first death which occurred was that of Mrs. Hugh Crawford, who was buried in the Estes grave yard. Dr. Buck, who died in Arkansas, was the first regular physician. The first minister, is reported to have been S. Bradley, of the Christian denomination.
The first school is asserted to have been taught in a church . (of which no other mention is made) by a Mr. Dillard, who now resides in Grain Valley. The tuition was $2.50 per scholar. The first weaving was done by Mrs. Alexander Galbraith.
Previous to the coming of Dr. Buck, the nearest physician was at Lex- ington, twenty miles away.
WAVERLY,
is situated in the northern part of Middleton township, on the Missouri river, and was founded in 1845, by Washington W. Shroyer. It was originally known as " Middletown," and its present name was adopted in 1848. David Callahan was president of the first board of trustees. In 1854, a man named Thomas purchased some land adjoining the city on the east, and laid out a town, which he called St. Thomas. Mr. Thomas died shortly after the war, and St. Thomas was annexed to Waverly. It was incorporated July 1, 1850, and Judge Wm. Thomas was elected the first mayor. The petition for incorporation was signed by Charles M. . Cowan and thirty-four others, tax-payers of the town. David Callahan, Lewis Fairchild, Elisha M. Edwards, Charles M. Cowan, and Alexander Skillen were appointed as the first board of trustees of the new corpora- tion. The first house was built by David K. Palmer, and has since been

washed away by the angry waters of the Missouri. He also owned the first store. In 1846, a frame school-house was built, at a cost of $140, which was also used for church purposes. The first religious services were held in this house, conducted by the Rev. Roth-Missionary Baptist. Mrs. Susan Shroyer taught the first school, which consisted of about twen- ty-two pupils, at a salary of $30 per month. The first wedding occurred in about 1849, the high contracting parties being John Morrison and Miss Lucy Shroyer. In 1835, Jacob Shroyer, son of W. W. and Jane V. Shroyer, was born; he being the first male child born within the city limits. Lucy Shroyer, born of the same parents, in 1833, was the first female child. The first death was that of an infant child of John Marshall. The first regular physician was Dr. P. H. Chambers, a native of Kentucky, who now resides in Lexington. The first cemetery, which is still in use, is located in the southeastern part of the town, on section 15. The present officers are as follows: Mayor, John E. Corder; councilmen, C. Krous, W. H. Landrum, A. S. Van Anglen, Judge W. H. Thomas, H. I. Chris- man, and John L. Oliver.

Cap- ital invested in grounds and buildings, $2,500; capital invested in machin- ery, $1,500; capital invested in incidentals, $1,920; total, $5,920; number of employees, 7.
In 1869 or 1870, a paper called the Waverly Express was published at Waverly, first by Chas. Patterson, then a Mr. Frazee, who was joined, in September, 1870, by W. H. Peters, from Illinois. It appears to have been democratic; but no further particulars were obtained.

The town of Alma was founded by Captain Lysing and Jno. W. Wood- son, on completion of the C. & A. Extension railroad in 1879, and incorpora- ted in 1880. The first mayor was Dr. Thomas Field. The postoffice was established in 1879, the first postmaster being Perry Catron. Dr. Field built the first house and owned the first store. The first school- house was built in the summer of 1880, at a cost of $750. The first school was taught by Miss Cassie Bascom, the number of pupils being thirty- five, at a compensation of $45 per month. The first marriage was that of H. C.

SNIABAR TOWNSHIP.
The name Sinabar has a peculiar history. If any one will look at a map of Lafayette county, they will discover a large bay protruding into Clay township, making the eastern boundary of a peninsula about four miles deep. Tradition says: A trader or hunter named Herbert, in going up the river followed this bay clear to its head, supposing it to be the main body of the Missouri river, and he was greatly bewildered for awhile, and delayed in his trip by this misadventure. The incident becom- ing known, the early navigators and trappers had many a laugh at Her- bert's expense; they called this bay Reviere d' Herbert, or " Herbert's river, " as a standing joke, and it became a waymark in designating places and distances on the great stream. But afterward a Pennsylvania Dutch word Schuyte, (English Shute, German Schnitt from Schneiden, to cut) was introduced here by keelboatmen from the region of Pittsburg, Pennsyl- vania. They mixed the Dutch and French words, and made Schuyte d' Herbert, then Shuyte ' Eber, then Schuyte ' Aber, and finally Snyabar- each successive change or corruption being to shorten the name and make it easier to pronounce-in a word, to westernize it, and this culmin- ates in the one easy syllable, Sni. The above is the etymological evolu- tion of the name Sniabar, or Sni, as it stands to-day applied to the town- ship of that name, and the two main creeks within the township. But historically, those streams have had other names.
The old French maps prior to the year 1800, mark the great bend or bay which protrudes into Clay township as Reviere d' Herbert-Herbert's river.
In 1804, Lewis and Clark refer to the two streams entering the Mis- souri at this point [Big and Little Sni] as Ean Beau-elegant water.
In 1823, Dr. Beck's Gazetteer of Illinois and Missouri calls it Chenal Ebert-Ebert's channel, a mere variation of Herbert's river as above.
In 1823, also, Lieut. Long, the explorer after whom Long's Peak in Col- orado is named, calls our two streams little Cheny an Barre and great Cheny an Barre. This is manifestly only his attempt to spell the name as then pronounced-Sche-nye-an-Bair, the "Pennsylvania Dutch" leaven being then well at work in the long cooking of this name. In this same year (1823), the official records of Lillard-now Lafayette county, spell it Sny E. Bairre.
468
HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COUNTY.
In 1835, Mitchell's geography map of Missouri marks it Chenal aux Herberts-the channel of Herbert, another mere variation of the original French name.
In 1837, Wetmore's Gazetteer Missouri names the Little Schuyte Aber and Big Schuyte Aber, in Lafayette county. Dutch again.
In 1851, Colton's map of Missouri spells it Big Snybar creek.
In 1872, Prof. Pumpelly's geological survey report spells it Sniabar; so also Campbell's Gazetteer of Missouri, 1872; indeed, that is now the settled Anglicized orthography of the name, without any hyphens, apostro- phes, periods, spaces or intermediate capital letters to give it an "awfully foreign" look. They are all mere affectation, without a spark of meaning that any body can swear by.
Two considerable creeks empty into the Schenye or false river, and so they were called Big Sni and Little Sni creeks; one of the earliest settle- ments in the original Cooper county, was on these creeks, and widely known as the Sniabar settlement, then Sniabar township, first in Cooper county, next in Lillard county, and lastly in Lafayette county.
May 4, 1824, Fort Osage township was set off from Sniabar township, which had prior to this extended to the west line of the state. The line · then established between the new and the old township was the Big Sni- abar creek from its mouth to its source, near where Chapel Hill now stands, thence south in a straight line to the Osage river.
The first mention of Sinabar township in the old county records occurs under date of April 24, 1821, the county being still called Lillard. The record says: " It is ordered by the court that Markham Fristoe be ap- pointed constable in and for the township of Sinabar for the term of two years." He was placed under bonds " in the penal sum of $1,200, " and bondsmen were Benjamin Gooch and James Bounds, Jr. But prior to this, to-wit: November 22, 1820, the Governor had commissioned Henry Ren- ick, Sr., David McClellan and Abel Owen, as justices of the peace for Sniabar township then in Cooper county. January 21, 1821, 'Squire Ren- ick swore in Abel Owen as a justice of the peace for Sniabar township, Lillard county ; but just how he himself got bridged over from Cooper to Lillard county the record does not show. However, the next day he swore into office the justices of the first county court, which was held at Mount Vernon, near the mouth of Tabo creek.
July 24th, 1821, Abel Owen and Henry Renick were appointed to lay off the roads in Sinabar township into districts convenient for their proper care. And at the February term, 1822, of the county court, the following road district overseers were appointed for this township:
1st road district, Richard Fristoe, overseer.
2d road district, Jonathan Hicklin, overseer.
3d road district, Abner Graham, overseer.
469
HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COUNTY.
4th road district, James Rathwell, overseer.
5th road district, Ira Bidwell, overseer.
6th road district, John Demasters, overseer.
The first mention of an election in Sinabar township is July 9, 1822, when Julius Emmons, David Ward and Thos Swift were appointed by the county court to be judges of an election to be held at the place of preach- ing near Henry Renick's. This election took place in August, and Jesse Hitchcock was elected constable.
February 3, 1823, the name of Sniabar is spelled thus-Sny E. Bairre; and the following record occurs: "We this day allot the within named hands to cut out and keep in repair a road leading from Lexington to in- tersect the road leading from Jack's Ferry to the salt works, near Jacob Catron's.
HENRY RENICK, J. P. ABEL OWEN, J. P."
The men thus appointed were: George Stevens, Josiah Nelson, George Nelson, Thomas Nelson, John Stapp, Thomas Swift, Dean Swift, James Barns, Wm. Robinson, Alfred K. Stevens, Melvin Vinning, Walker Atkinson, Amos Riley, Harry Owen, Neely Owen, Robert Fristoe, Markham Fristoe, Wm. Horn, Jr., John Norris, Abner Norris, Archibald Steward, James 'Drummond, Wilson Owen, Urial Murray, Francis Read, ing, Calvin Howell, John McCord and Andrew Patterson.
John Nelson was appointed overseer for this road and the above list of men who were required to work on it. The list seems to give some idea of the extent of the settlement at that time, and to show who they were. Many of their descendants still live in the county.
Lexington township was organized May 4, 1824, and west of that was Sniabar township. On the 7th of November, 1825 Clay township was organized and its boundaries as then defined embraced all there was left of Sniabar township, so this name dropped out from the list of municipal town- ships of Lafayette county, and was not heard of again until February 5, 1838-a long sleep of thirteen years. But at that time it was ordered by the county court that a new township to be called Sniabar should be bounded thus: "Beginning at the northwest corner of Washington township [This is a mistake*] thence west with the township line between town- ships 48 and 49 to the Jackson county line; thence south with said line to
*Here is a mistake in the description of this new township's boundary line, and we could not find any record to show that it had ever been formally corrected. The township line between congressional townships 49 and 50 had been fixed as the boundary between Lexington and Washington townships-and therefore the "northwest corner of Washing- ton township" would be on this line, and would leave for Clay township only the ragged edges of two fractional congressional townships; but the description should read thus: "Beginning at the west line of Washington township where it intersects the town- ship line between townships Nos. 48 and 49: thence west," etc. This would give the true boundary of Sniabar township as it has been in practice ever since that township was recreated notwithstanding the verbal error in the record as above noted.
470

the northwest corner of Johnson county, thence east with the county line to the southwest corner of Washington township; thence north to the place of beginning.
An election was ordered to be held at Riding's store, the first Saturday in April next (1838) to elect two justices of the peace.
Local Names .- A good many of the local names of things in Sniabar township were given by an old pioneer hunter, named Thomas Hopper. He killed an extra big buck elk on top of a high knob, and called it Buck Knob, which name it bears to this day. The name of Wagon Knob occurred in this way: Mr. Hopper and one or two others had obtained a wagon load of wild honey near the stream called Honey creek, in Wash- ington township, which he named therefor, and on the road home the wagon broke down while they were crossing a knob; they packed as much of the honey on their horses as they could, and left the wagon there till it rotted away; and that place is called Wagon Knob to this day. The same man named "Texas Prairie," but just why is not known. He also named Peavine creek, in Freedom township it is said.
War Children .- Sergt. J. L. Leadbeater, of Capt. Simpson's com- pany, in Gen. Jo. Shelby's command, says Sniabar township furnished 125 confederate soldiers; 38 were killed and 10 died of disease. All were married men except two, and in 1876 there were, in Sniabar township, 125 children of those confederate soldiers. Sergt. Leadbeater is blind and lives in the vicinity of Mt. Hope.
CHAPEL HILL.
The school founded by A. W. Ridings, in the year 1843, was the begin- ning of Chapel Hill. He began with three scholars, but soon grew to a large boarding school, occupying a stone building, 40x60 feet, and two stories high. At the beginning of the war the school was flourishing, with 150 scholars. During the war, in 1862, it was burned by an unknown incendiary. In the fall of 1863 the village of Chapel Hill, con- sisting of about thirty houses, was burned by Quantrell's men, except two buildings, which were afterwards burned by accident. Up to that time there was no church organization except the Cumberland Presbyterian, who used the college building. The village has since been rebuilt, and consists of about thirteen résidences, three stores, one blacksmith shop, three physicians, one church, one masonic lodge and a grange lodge. The village is situated on the Sni hills, which extend for a considerable distance to the north and northwest. The place was named by Mr. A. W. Riding after Chapel Hill, North Carolina, at which college he was educated. The first post office was kept by Mr. Shores in section 35, on the farm now owned by Mr. A. Wilkinson.
The Chapel Hill Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized in
