'MY HOME TOWN' Backward Glimpses Ry Spring. fieldians to Places They're . Loved and Still Cherish
By CELIA.RAY
AT LEAST . once each year the Reverend Lewis M. Hale, pastor of the First Baptist church, goes back to his old home in Shelby county.
Doctor Hale was born on a farm three miles from Shelbyville and lived there until he went to Lib- erty. Mo., to take his academy and college course at William Jewell. His grandfather had come from Tennessee to settle in Shelby county with the first of the pioneers.
"Shelbyville is a county seat." said Doctor Hale." and I used to spend much time about the court house where my father's brother was pro- bate judge about 20 years.
"When I was a boy we had no rural mail delivery so it was my job to go to Shelbyville about twice a week after the mail. We always did our trading at a large general store there."
Doctor Hale's father was a min- Ister who preached on Sunday and farmed the remainder of the week. He left the farm about 12 years ago. however. upon the death of Doctor Hale's mother. and went to Shelby- ville to live with a daughter. In ad- dition to his father. Doctor Hale has a brother and three sisters living In the little Shelby county town.
"When I left home to go to school 1 never had before been out of Shelby county." said Doctor Hale. "My older brother was a preacher and I think that perhaps his life as well as that of my father influenced me to become a minister. Even 28 a small boy I felt the influence of the profound conviction with which my father regarded the ministry."
Very few of the ploneer settlers remain at Shelbyville. Doctor Hale finds as he returns to the town each year. There has been progress in schools and highways. and the like. A small railroad also has been built there since he was a boy and it is no longer an inland town.

'ORIGINAL DAUGHTER'
*

Mrs. Elizabeth McClelland
By DOCIA KARELI. "'HER children arise up and call ber blessed,' even unto the third and fourth generation"-
Mr. Maud Buckley, standing hand In hand with little Alice Lawson, re- cited the words at the D. A. R memorial service over the grave of Mra. Elizabeth McClelland 10 the Rountree cemetery southwest of the city yesterday afternoon.
AN ORIGINAL. DAUGHTER -
Those two, representing the third and fourth generation. were the only direct descendants of Mrs. McClel. land at the service. Mrs. Buckley to a greatgranddaughter. and Alice great-greatgranddaughter.
- The occasion was the unvelling by the Rachel Donelson chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu. Uon of a bronze marker provided by the St. Louis chapter In honor of an "original daughter."
Mra McClelland had been a mem- ber of the St. Louis chapter before the Rachel Donelson chapter was or. ganized. She was a daughter of Rich- ard Taliaferro, Revolutionary veteran end a member of the famous Lewit and Clark expedition into the oortb west. As a young woman she came with ber husband. Samuel McCiel :and. to Missouri JD 1833 She died in 1000, in the same neighborhood where the bad lived for more than half a century.
The spirit of pioneer womanhood | represented Mrs Mcclellano lormed the motif for the service yes. lerday. Mrs. E. A. Barbour in vivacious address recalled tha aspira. lions and idealism of those early pioneer mothers who were "original daughters" of the American Revolu- tion, and urged upon members of the D. A R todas the possibility of being in spirit "real daughters" of | those earlier daughters, preserving the same high standards of conduct character and patriotism.

tional ideais on which America is founded.
The Reverend Oscar Leo Black, pas- tor of the First Presbyterian church, aleo . made an 'nadrew in:wildb. be traced the beginnings 'of. American history leading to the Revolution. emphasizing the religious idealtam of the nation's founders.
Mr. L. M. Bawyer, regent of the Rachel Donelson chapter, read brief account of Mrs. McClelland's
CHILD UNVEILS MARKER
Then little Alice Lawson recited a poam. "Our Pioneer Mothers," and unvelled the bronze marker dealgned with the D. A. R. Insignia and the engraved words. "Original Daughter."
