MUSTY PAPERS TELL FOUNDING OF SPRINGFIELD
How John P. Campbell Chose : First · Homesite Here Re- Tated in Old Articles Has- well Recalls; Called City's 'Real Father' .
AU springfield ta to join the work of
afredag viit parades, pagespte and the like Why this date has-hirn selected for '' the centennial celebration in ex- plated in the following article by A. M. Whowell, Ozarks bieterfan. Will Dr. L. M. Shepard, Mr. Haswellnew is. writing a beck, "A Cantary af Springfield."
BY A. M. HASWELL
Springfield is exceptionally fortu- mate in having a well authenticated record as to the identity of those who were the founders of the place. 'A record that fizgs beyond dispute the names of the men who first new the traet, which was later to become. the dita cette ~Queen . the Ccarks." And not only the panke-of these discoverers, but the named at thon who actually put up the first rude cabins here, and the dates of both' of these Occurrences
When in March. 1830, John P. Campbell and his his brotherinisw. Joseph Miller with their families and. Naves, arrived and "Camped at the natural well." there was among them Tad f3 years of age, John. H. Miller. so hof Joseph Miller and nephew of John P. Campbell. Some 50 years ago. John H Miller, then an old man liv- ing at. Richey, Newton-county, Mo .. wrote a series of articles for The Springfield Leider, giving in detali the story of the migration of the Campbell' and Miller familles, from Maury, county. Tenn., to Southwest Missouri. These articles form. a priceless mine of information to any- coe wishing to learn of the begin- ning .of Springfield Certainly no one at this Iste day can dispute the accuracy of that record.
- Find "Natural Well"
Miller begins his story by telling of the coming of John P. Campbell, and his brother Madison Campbell. who made a journey on Horseback
froin Tennessee across the entir Width of the, then, territory, of Ar- kanmes - until, ' about "at .the present location of Fayetteville, Ark., they turned toward the northeast. "Strik- ing Delaware Town, the only place of note ob, the James fork, some -10 salles ; toutbest - of Springfield. Thende north seross Kickapoo Prairie ww the Fulbright spring. 4 the' natural . well.".
their claims to lands in that, Vi- antly.".Marking, their names on tres in that way was a custom com- mon among the" pioneers and In the case of John P. Campbell later proved als prior right to his claim, and en- abled him ' to hold . the land. 80 close did Springfield come to losing her father. before her birth!
Others Settled First
It seems to me that the date. of that first selection of the lands here la the correct date to celebrate @s the centennial of Springfield. Re- member. it was about mid-October. la. 1829: that was before the Indian title was extinguisbed: it was before the first stroke of an axe to fell the first tree: several months before the first cabin was built; and several years, too. . before the United States thought enough of the Ozarks even to survey them. In a word it the seed "from which all the. rest has grown and there is no possibility of a mistake as to the date, or the men.
But the honor of being the first actual settlers does not belong to the Campbelly, for Maler tells us that the . brothers returned to Tennesses after their families and that: "In February. 1850. Jobn P. Campbell. and his brotherinlaw Joseph Miller :fixed up with their small families. and set out for Kickapoo Prairie." This was the migration In which the later historian, John H. Miller, took part. .
+. Establishes Earliest Claim
And he telle. atter wonderful de- talls. of the formy awir the dim traces of the 'wilderness, that they arrived "at the natural well, a short distance north of the present pabile square of Springfield: bers they camped on the night of the 4th of March, 1830."
Miller goes on to may:
"In the meantime Uncle Billy Ful- bright. bad got about three weeks ahead of therh, and stopped at the Fulbright opting. His brother. John Y .. had settled at another spring near by and his brotherinlaw. A. J. Bur- nett. had succeeded in putting up

More than that, whe .. a crisis came that would bare cost the little town the county mat, "because the county did not bare any money with which to build the court house and jall. It was the same John P. Campbell who cut a square 50 acres out of the center of his holdings, and gave them to the county: and the maje of town lata in that 60 acres brought the money for the needed bulldings. and assured the future of Springfield. Certainly no other man deserves the name of "The father of Springfield."
