THE CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The Middle Fabius Church of this denomination, seven miles west of Memphis, was organized in 1840, with Rev. Briggs, George D. Slavin, Thomas Hope, Aquilla Hope and their wives, and Elizabeth Isaacs as original members. It was organized at a place called Round Grove, and a log church was built there in 1848, and a second building, a frame, was erected in 1853; the present church, also frame, was built in 1875, at a cost of about $2,000. It was dedicated by Rev. Briggs. The recent pastors

have been Revs. Briggs, Samuel Davidson, Daniel Patton, David Walker, Wills, John Neff and W. C. Herdman, the latter being the present pastor. This was the first organization of the Cumberland Presbyterians in Scotland County. The member- ship of this church is now about eighty. McGrady Cum- berland Presbyterian Church was organized about the year 1859, and among the original members were John W. Barnett, Jacob Maggard and their wives, and Mrs. Martha North, H. Ketchum, Mrs. Sarah Allen, Miss Amanda Barnett and Thomas A. Barnett. This church is located in Section 34, Town 65, Range 13. The first church building (log) was erected in 1860, and the present frame building was erected about the year 1868, at a cost of $800. The pastors have been Revs. John Neff, Jesse Wilson, David Walker, and the present one, George W. Burns. The member- ship is about forty. Unity Cumberland Presbyterian Church, a few miles south of Memphis, was organized in 1859 by Rev. John Neff, with Samuel Witt and wife, Samuel Barnett and wife, Miss Sophia Bishop, John D. Rush, and others, as original members. Services were held in a schoolhouse until the present frame building was erected, in conjunction with a society of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, at a cost of about $1,200. The pastors have been Revs. John Neff, David Walker, Jesse Wilson, Matthew Patton, Clay Shook, and the present one, George W. Burns. There are now about seventy members in this church. McAdow Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized in the year 1860, with Jacob Maggard and wife, Ben- jamin Pile and wife, Newman and wife, and others as original members. This church is located six miles southwest of Memphis, and the present church (frame) was built in 1873, at a cost of $1,000, and was dedicated December 14, of that year, by Rev. Furgeson, of Lee County, Iowa. Revs. John Neff, Jesse Wilson, David Walker and George W. Burns have been the pastors. The membership consists of about seventy persons.

Bethel Cumberland Presbyterian Church, located in Section 31, Town 67, Range 11, was organized in 1860, by Rev. John D. Rush, with Francis Drake and wife, W.

W. Dewty, G. W. Burns and W. C. Herdman, the present pastor. This society has about thirty-five members. Pleasant Hill Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized about the year 1864 by Rev. Jesse Wilson, with James C. Drake, Addison Shelby, James Morris, Mr. Foster and their wives, Jacob L. Crow and Mrs. Riney as original members. This church is located eight miles northwest of Memphis, and the present church building (frame) was erected about the year 1868, at a cost of $1,200. The pastors of this church have been Revs. Jesse Wilson, John Neff, Clay Shook, Redmond White- head and George W. Dewty. Rev. Neff is the present pastor, and the membership consists of sixty persons. Memphis Cum- berland Presbyterian Church was organized March 12, 1887, by Rev. George W. Sharp, with Benjamin Pile, John S. Pile and wife, James W. Gorden, J. D. Skidmore, Francis Drake, Austin Hughes, John Israel, Henry Watkins and their wives, Elizabeth Hendricks, and others to the number of thirty-six, as original members. This society, having no church edifice as yet, holds its service in the Congregational Church; Rev. J. F. Lackey is pastor. Round Grove Cumberland Presbyterian Church, located about twelve miles southeast of Memphis, was organized about the year 1859, with James Gorden and wife, Hayden and wife and others as original members.

George, Simeon Martin and their wives, Mother Aylward, Mrs. Emily McIntyre, Mrs. Wellington, Mrs. Mary Williams, Samuel Birch and wife and children and others as original members. The church building (frame) was erected soon after the society was organized. The pastors have been Revs. A. A. Thome, Elihu Loomis and J. C. Johnson. This organization has about forty members.

In addition to the foregoing enumerated churches there are a few of other denominations. In Memphis there is a Roman

554

HISTORY OF SCOTLAND COUNTY.

Catholic organization, and a small frame church belonging thereto. There are also two colored church organizations, viz. : Baptist and Methodist Episcopal, both in Memphis. All of the churches heretofore mentioned, except the Roman Catholic, have organized Sunday-schools in connection with their Christian work which are well attended. At some churches in the country the Sunday-schools are suspended during the winter and continu- ance of bad roads. These schools have existed in most of the churches ever since their organization, and have been a pow- erful auxiliary to the cause of Christianity. In the early days, before many church buildings had been erected, the people met in "God's first temples," the groves, to worship Him. As early as 1840 the Middle Fabius Camp-ground was established and fitted up at the place where the Middle Fabius Cumberland Presbyterian Church is located, and was used alternately by dif- ferent denominations, until about the year 1853, when it was abandoned for that purpose. Other camp grounds for religious work were established at different places in the county, among which was one on the farm of Joseph Leaper, in Miller Town- ship, where the Methodist Episcopal Churches held a meeting in September, 1869. Camp-meeting grounds have also been established on the Wyaconda and other streams in the county, where religious meetings have occasionally been held, until a very recent date.

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.

ORGANIZATION.

T HE first step to organize the county was made by the twelfth General Assembly, which convened in November, 1842. By the first section of an act "to define the bounds of Scotland County, and for other purposes " (approved January 6, 1843). It was provided that " all that part of the county of Scotland south of the township line dividing Townships 63 and 64 is hereby constituted and established a distinct county, to be called and known by the name of Knox County."

Another section provided that Knox should be attached to Scotland, " until such time as said county of Knox shall become fully organized." All moneys and dividends of moneys accruing or falling to Scotland were required to be equally divided between the two counties, and the act further provided that the citizens of Knox should not " be taxed or moneys collected from them for the purpose of erecting public buildings in the County of Scotland."

The county was named in honor of Gen. Henry Knox, the Boston bookseller, who became Washington's chief of artillery during the war of the Revolution, and who, the chronicles tell us, the night before the battle of Trenton " went about tugging at his guns like a trojan and swearing like a pirate." He was the first Secretary of War of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1795. A number of other counties in the Union were named for him.

The county remained as an attached part of Scotland until in 1845, when it was "fully organized," with metes and bounds as at present, by an act approved February 14. At the same time, and in the same act, the organization of the counties of Atchison, Dunklin, Harrison, Hickory, Mercer, Mississippi,

556

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.

Moniteau, Nodaway, Oregon, Schuyler and Texas was effected. As is fully stated in other portions of this volume, this territory, from the time when it was first settled-the only period worth considering-belonged to Lewis County until the organization of Scotland, when it formed the south half of that county.

By the terms of the organic act the first county court judges of Knox County were Edward Milligan, Melker Baker and Virgil Pratt, who were ordered to meet at Edina on the first Monday in April, following, and put up the political machinery of the county and set it in motion.

FIRST COUNTY COURTS.

The first term of the Knox County Court convened at Edina, April 7, 1845. All three of the justices, Melker Baker, Edward Milligan and Virgil Pratt, were present, and Baker was made presiding justice. John H. Fresh was appointed elizor or act- ing sheriff; Jessie John, county clerk; Warner Pratt, assessor, and Peter, Early, treasurer. George D. Hollingsworth was appointed county surveyor, but declined, and in May, Isaac Cook was commissioned in his stead. The sureties on the bond of County Clerk John, were Horace A. Woodbridge, Henry Calla- way and F. H. John. The first business transacted after the selec- tion of an elizor was the appointment of Thomas Ferguson, John Black and Lewis Fox as commissioners to view a road petitioned for by John Black, and others, and designed to run from somewhere on the South Fabius "to the road between Quincy and Kirksville." About the only other business trans- acted at this term was the appointment of other road viewers, the organization for school purposes of Township 61, Range 12 (now in Shelton Township), and the division of the county into four municipal townships: Benton, Center, Fabius and Salt River. John Stephens was appointed justice of the peace for Benton, and James Beck for Salt River. Of the first county officers Judge Milligan is recorded as having made the first entry of land in the county (west half of the northwest Section 32, Town 63, Range 10), in November, 1830, although there is a possibility of a mistake in this particular. He was an Irishman, had married a lady in Boston, and lived in St. Louis the greater part of his life in

557

STATE OF MISSOURI.

Missouri. It is related that even while judge of the county court he did not reside himself in Knox County, and only came up occasion- ally from the metropolis to attend the sessions. His wife resided on Milligan's original entry, in the southern part of Colony Town- ship, until about 1850, when she, too, returned to St. Louis, Judge Virgil Pratt was a New Yorker, a brother of Hons. E. G. and Warner Pratt. He lived in what is now Bee Ridge Town- ship, and for some time operated the mill on the South Fabius known as Pratt's Mill. He removed to California many years ago, and died there. Judge Melker Baker is still living, west of Edina. He is a Marylander, but came to the county directly from Virginia. John H. Fresh, was a son of the old pioneer. James Fresh, and lived near Newark.

MISCELLANEOUS PUBLIC PROCEEDINGS.

September 4, 1845, " Block No. 3, entire," being a part of the donation to the permanent seat of justice, was "reserved to the county, forever, as a public square."

During the fall of 1845 a clerk's office and an office for pub- lic records were erected on Block No. 2 of the donation. Both buildings were of brick, with nine-foot ceilings. The clerk's office was twenty feet square, and the office for public records 16x24 feet. Prior to the erection of these buildings, rooms for the use of the court had been rented from James A. Reid.

At the session of the county court in November, 1845, the clerk was ordered to procure a seal of the following description: " A raised circle at the outer edge, one-sixteenth of an inch in width, inside of which shall be engraved the words 'Seal of Knox County Court, Mo.,' and inside of the words there shall be en- graved a buck sheep, without horns, all of which shall be in raised work, so as to present the words and devices on the front side of the paper, on which the impression is to be made."

In May, 1846, Walter Ellis was allowed $6 by the county court in payment for the erection of six finger-boards in the county.

June 23, 1846, a petition, signed by 100 citizens of Knox County, was presented, asking that the county court sink a well in the public square, in Edina, "until living water is

558

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.

reached," and accompanied by a subscription of $76.50-the balance of expenses to be paid from the town fund. The court appointed Martin Baker, Jr., Peter Earley and Jesse John com- missioners to superintend the work. Jesse John afterward re- signed, and Simeon Connelly was appointed. At a depth of 166 feet water was obtained, which, it is said, stood at one time at not less than sixty feet in depth.

November 6, 1851, the county court ordered that " an act to provide for a uniform jury law, and to provide for the payment of jurors," approved March 1, 1851, should not be in force in this county.

The county tax levy is not recorded for any year, except 1847. In that year 35 cents on every $100 was assessed. The poll tax in 1847 was 372 cents, but in 1851 it was incressed to $2.

According to the assessor's books, there were 384 tax payers in the county in 1846, 679 in 1847, 686 in 1848, 701 in 1849, 766 in 1850, 1,044 in 1851, and 1,255 in 1855.

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.

LOCATING THE COUNTY SEAT.

From the first it was generally understood that Edina was to become the capital of Knox County. It would seem, however, that no official action was taken in the premises until May 7, 1845, when the county court appointed John C. Rutherford of Clark, Walter Crockett, of Putnam, and Walker Austin of Macon, commissioners "to locate the permanent seat of justice for the county of Knox, in conformity to an act for organizing counties hereafter established, approved December 9, 1836." G. D. Turner was ordered to notify the commissioners of their appointment, and was afterward allowed $14 for his services. The commissioners made their report, locating the county seat at Edina, on the second day of October following, and were allowed $36 for their services. July 1, preceding, John Thomp- son was appointed commissioner of the permanent seat of justice, and was ordered to survey the county addition to the permanent seat of justice and lay it off into lots for sale. During the sum- mer he was ordered to "clear the streets of brush and other obstructions," and in September he again received an order to "cut out the streets and burn the brush."

February 3, 1846, John Thompson resigned as commissioner, and Martin Baker was appointed in his stead. Sales of lots were made from time to time, and by the year 1847 nearly all of the lots had been sold.

FIRST CIRCUIT COURTS.

The first term of the circuit court of Knox County convened at Edina, October 1, 1845. Hon. Addison Reese presided, Sheriff John H. Fresh opened court, and Jesse John was the clerk.

The grand jury was composed of John Fulton, foreman; Benjamin T. Hatfield, William N. Shotten, Mason Palmer, John C. Allred, Samuel Shannon, E. A. Bryant, H. B. Musgrove William Kibbee, Melker Baker, Thomas Fox, Willis Anderson, John H. Taylor, Benjamin G. Riney and Armstead Hamilton. The circuit attorney was James R. Abernathy, then of Monroe County. The first case was that of William H. Holmes against James Fresh, a proceeding in chancery, which was dismissed at

561

STATE OF MISSOURI.

the complainant's cost. Fresh had borrowed a sum of money from Holmes, and to secure his note had given a chattel mortgage on some negroes. This mortgage Holmes sought to have fore- closed.

A seal was ordered of the following description: " A raised circle at the outer edge one-sixteenth of an inch in width; and in a circle of the same description, one eighth of an inch inside of said first circle, the words, 'Seal of Knox Circuit Court, Mis- souri,' to be engraved on the space between said circles, with a pair of plain balances within the inner circle, so as to present all the words and devices in raised work on the right side of the paper on which the impression is to be made."

The first criminal case called was that of the State against Alexander Taylor; recognized to keep the peace. No prosecutor appearing the case was dismissed at the defendant's cost.

October 2, the second day of the term, the grand jury made its report, and returned indictments against the following persons: William H. Holmes, for stealing negroes, indorsed " not a true bill;" William M. King, two indictments, one, for selling liquor without license, the other for selling goods without a merchant's license. The indictment against Holmes charged him with hav- ing stolen negroes, on whom he held the mortgage mentioned previously, and was never tried.

The first case against William M. King was dismissed; the second, for selling goods without a merchant's license, was con- tinued till the October term, 1846. It was then tried, and a verdict of "not guilty" returned.

During the next few years no cases of importance or peculiar interest came up for trial before the court. There were some indictments for disturbing the peace, and many against promi- nent citizens, in some instances, for "playing at cards for money " or for "playing cards on Sunday." These cases were disposed of in various ways, but were none of them of sufficient interest to require a detailed account in these pages. In October, 1852, William Reed was indicted for the murder of a negro named Henry, noted at length in another chapter.

Perhaps the first resident lawyer was Kemp P. Anderson, who lived on the well known Rouner farm, five miles northwest

562

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.

of Newark. He seems to have been a man of many unpleasant characteristics. He was indicted at one time for practicing without a license. There were those who denied that he was entitled to be called an attorney, and asserted that he was nothing but a shyster. It is related that in the early days, when a number of the settlers here did their trading at Palmyra, the merchants at that place gave their accounts to Mr. Anderson for collection. During the hard-times period of 1843 he undertook to enforce the collection of a number of bills against the settlers in the northern part of the county, in what was then Benton Township. Squire Andrew Chilson was one of the justices of the peace for that township, and before him a number of suits were brought. The regularly elected constable, Alex. Taylor, had failed to qualify, but a substitute was found, and notices were duly served.

On the day set for the trial the litigants assembled, and the defendants, led by Alex Taylor, attempted to lynch An- derson. They seized him, had a rope ready, and were on their way to a tree, when Squire Chilson's wife ran out with an ax in her hand and literally rescued the frightened pettifog- ger, and gave him a safe conduct off the premises, with no other damage to his person than that his coat was torn to pieces, and his hat battered out of shape.

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.

FIRST ELECTIONS.

When the first settlers of what now constitutes Knox County exercised the privilege of the elective franchise in this quarter they were citizens of Allen Township, Lewis County.

The first election in Allen Township, after its organization, was held at the house of William H. Holmes, on the first Mon- day in August, 1836. At this time, it must be borne in mind, the township included what is now the southwestern part of Lewis County, embracing all the territory lying west of Troublesome Creek. Only twenty-seven voters were recorded as participating in this election. The following is the entire list; how many of these resided in what is now Knox County it is difficult to deter- mine:
