GHOST OF OLD SETTLER SEES LACK OF RELIGION
Little Godliness Found in Ozarks by Springfieldian of 1840, Old Letter Tells; Children Advised to Fol- low'Sober Paths and Help Widows
"We have but little religion' in this country." Charles Vertrees wrote from Springfield to his home in In- diana late in the summer of 1040. Possibly some ministers here might ı still be disposed to agree with him, In spite of the 60-odd churches scat- tered over the city today.
Mr. Vertrees' letter was read by the secretary. J. V. Boswell. to members of the University club at their freek- ly luncheon in the Heer's tea room. It had been sent to Mr. Boswell by Ella A. Mummiman, from Okmuligee. Okis,, with some little explanation as to the circumstances of its writ- ing, and the family of the writer.
Many Descendants In Stato
Apparently Mr. Vertrees was spending his first year in Spring- field. His two sons, Warren and William, som to have been Hiring with their grandmother in Hendricks county, Indians. Warren was 18 et the time the letter was written.
Although Mr. Vertrees returned to his Indians home the same fall the letter was written, the two younger Vertrees moved to Missouri many years later and lived at Aurora in the early seventies. Warren was at one time "candidate for state trees- urer." Ho "died In Grenfield. rila Mumsriman anys that there are still muny Vertrees Living in Missouri, all descendants of Captain John Ver- Cress, revolutionary soldier of Vir- ginla.
Tells Crop Conditions
It is curious to note that the let- ter, written on August 2, was in re- ply to one received the preceding April.
The letter follows in full:
Springfield, Greene county. MLs- souri, August 2, 1840.
"Dear children: We received yours of the 23rd. April. and It gave me ! much satisfaction to learn that you are all well.
"We have a. fine prospect for corn. Wheat and oats was excellent. Corn is worth 33 cente per bushel What Le worth 60 cents per bushel. I had no wheat sowed. I have over five hundred bundie of oats, and I havel about 26 acres in corn that looks -
.
promising.
Why Tan-yard Profited
"I have bought & tan-yard in Springfield and have bought a field of ten acres close by to live on, and have been living on it ainos the mid- die of April. I gave twelve hundred fifty dollars for all. Lesther is high and hides are cheap and I think I shall do well at it.
"I have never got my money from Matlock and Booty-Fet. They started two hundred dollars to me-this roma- mer by William Herron and on bis way he let his pistol go off in his hand and shot off one of his fingers and tore his hand badly. and he turned back and took my money With him. I expect I shall have to ro to Indiana this fall,
"We have but little religion in this country. I miss my old preachers and meetings very much, but by the grace of God I feel disposed to press forward to the mark for the prize of the high calling of God which to Th Christ Jesus.
Busy to Make Living
"Mother is not at all satisfied in this country. It is an easier coun- try to make a living in than Indiana. The winters are shorter and there la such s large portion of the country that cannot be settled that the range tains stand. Rail timber and build- Ing tunber is entirely too scarce Firewood is plenty.
"I do not know whether this coun- try is any healthier than it was where I lived in Indiana. Wo bave had some fever here all winter and some deaths, but it looks like there could be no cause for sickness bere. We are all in common nes'th and have been so ever since we have been here though mother us consid- erably weakly at this time.
Advice to His Children "Now my dear children deny your- sleves of all ungodliness and worldly ' lusts and Walk soberly. righteously.
154
and Godly in this . present world. Visit the fatherless and the widows in their afflictions and keep your- Atves- unerotted from the world and so far as in you lles do good unto all men.
"Give our respecta to your father and mother; to Father Vernon and Mother Vernon and all the conneo- tion.
"Farewell and the way to fare well Is to do well. Charles Vertrecs."

FRIENDSHIP OF 54 YEARS BLOSSOMS INTO ROMANCE
A MARRIAGE that wis the result moved to Springfield in 1881. Hved of the friendship of years of two |bare, fec. Are .Fears, left and returned familles was solemnised Saturday to stay to -1900. Finally In 1931 they went back for a visit with the people they had known by mail only for morning by 'the Reverend O. · Emer: 100 Miller of. the Bouth Avenue Christian church with George Dante; Steinhauser. 78. of Vandalla. m., and Mra Mary E.

Both were raised In Vandalia ' but Mra. Steinhauer was considerably younger than the groom and " when the latter married, no heartaches were felt for she was only 13 yeart old at that time. The present Mra. Steinhauer was acquainted with the Arst"wife of her husband very well and regarded her as an older sister.

WENT TO NEBRASKA -
Bly years later she married John Herman, also of Vandalis and they moved to David City. Nebrasks. That was in 1979 and the Hermans saw no more of Vandalis or tha Steinhauers until 1921 when they returned to the old home town for a visit. They had. however. been corresponding an those 43 years, keeping in close touch with each other." The Steinhauers stayed.

Church,FamousLandmark, Falls Before Modern Trend
mer Location of First Pres
Han of Up to Date 'Automobile Hotel
INTRIGUE and war, lightening and destruction, wntiment and tradi- tion-all are found . centered about the little plot of ground at Olive and Jefferson, where -the First Presbyter- tan church stands today and where March 16 the building will be razed to make room for a 20th century automobile aud tire building.
From the time in the early thirties of the past century when the ground was sold at that location for $1.25 an tore to the present when the prop- grty. was sold for $1000 per front foot, this spot in the heart of Springfield has borne special significance.
1
FOUNDED IN 1844 -
May. 19. 1844. Is the date inscribed In the records of the Presbyterian church as the date of founding. There was built a . building which pictures In the homes of some of the present congregation show had little reseni- blance to the structure that is there now. And, as a matter of comparison. it had not the slightest resemblance to the building which the church la Dow constructing at Dollison and Cherry.
-
SHELLED AN' ARSENAL. -
Many In Springfield remember the first elders of the church. C. B. Hol- land. 8. B. Allen and H. Snow. A former pastor. J. T. Bacon, who served from 1800 until November 15. 1927. is still a Springfield. resident.
Within the memory of this pastor and other members of the present congregation as Mra. Ada Mccann. W. N. Townsend, Will Bigbee and others are /the, stirringa connection their church had in the Civu war. do .Mrs. McCann tells the church Was wed by the Federal army as an arsenal.
At one time during the war a con- federate army under the leadership of General Marmaduke shelled this arsenal. It is told by some that an explosive shell went completely through the building and out with- out exploding.
+ --
LIGHTNING DAMAGES IT
:
But the building was repaired after the war and things went along nicely
until 1878 wheu Mra. McCanu say's the structure " was struck by light- ning. Considerable damage was done and this was one of the primary causes for the decision to build a new church sometime in the Doa.
The present building was erected fn 1892 mod . Reverend Bacon began bisjoffice with the church in 1898. The membership rapidly Increased and in a few years the church was one of the most prosperous in the city.
1
ERECT NEW CHURCH -
Today. under the leadership of the Reverend O. L. Black the budget of $16.000 is easily ratsed. A surplus which has been accumulating will be used in the erection of the church's latest building project.
The new building will be one of the finest church structures in the city. according to members of the build- ing committee. Everything about it will be modern and up to date and it will be one of the largest edifices in the city.
But with this new church there will still remain the tradition and background of more than a half cen- tury of activity.
