MY HOME TOWN'
Backward Glimpses By Spring- fieldians to Places They've Loved and Still Cherish
By CELIA RAY
HENDERSON-not many years ago a famous seat of learning in Webster county-was the home town of L. H. . Coward. superin- tendent of Greene county schools.
Mr. Coward was born on a farm about three miles from Henderson. He recalls that in `als youth some member of his family made a visit each week to the town to get the mail and buy such necessities as sugar and coffee.
Coward
"It was a great treat to me .. id my brothers . to accompany our father to Henderson," sald Mr. Coward. "We went in a farm wagon drawn by two horses. Father took the wheat in sacks to the steam grist mill which to our childish imagination was one of the many wonders to behold in the valley where Henderson was located.
"There too we saw and admired the 'smart young men,' dressed in fastidious black with shiny celluliod collars and cuffs. The cuffs were fastened with big buttons which rattled loudly when the wearer shook hands with father. These young men were students of the Henderson academy, al that time one of the foremost teacher train- ing schools of the southwest coun- try. It was this institution that gave me an ideal a few years later to future aspirations.
"From old Henderson academy came many of Springfield's promi- ment citizens. Among them are W W. Thomas, former city school superintendent: J E. Wells. man- ager of the International Harvester company: George Reed. representa- tive in the Missouri general assem- bly: Charles II Reed, assistant city clerk: Doctors D. U. Sherman. 8 W Tickle. J. S Savers. W. A Del- zell. Attorney U. G. Johnson and many others.
"Well do I remember while at- tending Henderson academy that one hot May morning I con j'ained of being weary of climbing up the old hill to the academy. Mv old school friend. Mark Compton. placed his right hand on my shoulder and with his left pointed to the academy 'Boy. this is like climbing the hill of life,' he said. 'If you hold
out faithful you shall receive your reward.'
"Just a few days ago my business to a rural Greene county school made it necessary for me to drive from Rogersville through old Hend- erson and northward. As I drove my car along the narrow bluff road under the hill on the west side of the little town I recalled that as a student I rode along there on a small mule. I stopped opposite the old narrow frame two - story academy building with its small belfry. For a moment I lived over my "School days, school days, good old golden rule days' with all their toils, joys and romances.

'MY HOME TOWN'
Backward Glimpses Ry Spring- Deldiamı to Places They're . Loved and Still Cherish
of
By CELIA BAY LON SHARP, commissioner health and sanitation of . this city, can make two claims to dis- tinction that very few others have nowadaya. He was born in & log house and he came to Missouri in & covered wagon.
Mr. Sharp's old home town was
Grand Salinc. Texas, about 65 miles east of
Dallas. He was Lon Sharp born in a log house on a farm near this town. Grand Saline is in the midst of the cotton country, but ita own claim to fame is the large salt plant there.
When Mr. Sharp was 'six years of age his parents hitched a team to a covered wagon and started the long drive to Laclede county, Missouri. "I can remember the old wagon and our camps at night where we built great log fires; said Mr. Sharp. "Once we were over taken by bad weather and we found a little house in the woods where we stayed sev- eral days I remember once we started to cross a creek and the horses were struck in the mud so they couldn't pull the wagon out. We had a rope along and our horses were unhitched and after they were on level ground the rope was tied to the wagon tongue so they could pull It out.'
For two years Mr. Sharp called Laclede county, south of Lebanon. his home. Then his family moved to a farm In Greene county near Fair Grove.
He still has relatives living at Grand Saline and only a few years ago returned there for a visit. He found the' old log house where he was born in still standing.
