OLDER THAN MEMORY
Who built the first house on the site, or when, in no longer known. but when the Reverend Dr. W'Il- Ham Leftwich bought it from Wil- liam Fulbright in 1857. there It was -- a small, story-and-a-half cottage. with an I. kitchen.
Diartur Leftwich had left him Virginia home 20 frre. sand travelling by carriage. while hle slaves followed with ox frams and wagons bringing they household sole had settled at! Centretown. :: miles north of S. .תודה !.
In 1956 he was in frat health, and Inysicians suggested Texas. No xain the family belongings were loaded Into ox wagons, and started יוניות. the journey. Arriving in ifipringfield, he liked the promising little low'n so much that he stopped right here and brought Si acres finm Fulbright.
1 'TWAS A FINE HOME
'-Immediately. he remodelled and enlarged the house, making ' tt full - two stories, and adding colonial portico, which later .was torn down, so that a wide veranda could. he htillt. The only other, two: story houses in the city at that time were 'the homes of the Hollands and when Doctor Leftwich Ind completed his additions and Im- provements, he had one of the fin- est homes in the region.
He lived there, busy and happy. with his family, until after-therbe ginning of the war "He was pastor of the Methodist church, 'South,und .was much upset when the soldiers took .over the. church. In :1864. ho: leased his home and moved to Boonville, firmly resolved - not' to return until his church' was ro- stored. This was done five years later, and he came back in 1869 and remained in the old house until his death there in 1876. . .
$ But Mrs. Ruth Homan, Doctor Leftwich's granddaughter, who now lives here, relates that In the earlier days of the war while the family still Lived there, there was excile- ment. She was a small child at the time, but recalls the strong feelings
1191
that prevaued with great vividness.
I FREMONT'S HEADQUARTERS
General Fremont made the Left- r.ich home his headquarters, using the big living room as an office. and the room above it for bis priv- ate living apartments.
"I remember once,". she says, "when I was eaving, he wanted me to kiss him goodbye, But I wouldn't do it, because he was a northerner and I was a little rebel.
"But he was a perfect gentleman," she says, and smiles to recollect how the military band, with Instru- ments all of gleaming silver, came every night to serenade him.
The day before the battle of Wil- son creek, Mrs. Homan says, Gen- eral Lyon stationed himself on his horse before the house and reviewed his troops. The next day she went to visit kinafolk near the old Percy's cave northwest of town, from where they. could hear tte cannonading, and 'see the final re- treat-not knowing whether the fleeing aoldiera were Union or Cou- federate.

A CANNONBALL'S VISIT
And during the Marmaduke raid, she saye, a cannonball was shot through the house and pasaed di- rectly through the stairway, but no- body was injured.
In those days, a-fine orchard ex- tended east of the house to Phelpa street, and there was a magnificent walnut grove to the west. This was exceedingly valuable, and Doctor Leftwich at one time refused an of- fer of $10,000 for it, But during the war the invading soldiers cut it for firewood-
Back of the house was a large log cabin, the slave quarters; and across Grant street (outside the city limita) the carriage house, and beyond it the farm.
When Doctor Leftwich died, he , left the place to bis widow, who later diedi- und sohn - Homan's - daughter. Mrasky ... C. Hutchison, who nowthe on sont Fremont street. Shortly thereafter the old home passed out of the family, and has changed hands time and again in the past half-cen- tury.

GLAD TO SEE IT GO?

Of late years, it has been con- verted into a rooming house, and Mrs. Homan says that it has been Uttle pleasure to the Leftwich de- scendenta to see it continuously de- generating, indifferentiy 'cared for, so that it's old fine distinction was
little evident. One infers that she ls, perhaps, glad that It shall be cleanly razed-
The present owner, who bought it three years ago, la Arch Wright. He is wrecking the house, and has leased the alte for a filling station. So another landmark is destroyed; another link with the past broken as a new ons with the future is forged.
OLDEST MEMBER OF SOUTH CHURCH WILL BE HONORED
Springfield Man Joined Meth- odist Group When It Was Organized in '44; Has Had Highly Colorful Career
A MEMBER of the Southern Methodist church for 83 years- since 1544.
From rank private int the Civil war ( which he says was the wrong naine for it) to adjutant to a cap- taln.
A man who has seen die world move along, who has traveled through the country in an ox-drawn wagon, later in a horse-drawn wagon. In an automobnie, and who; last summer tried out the airplane means of transportation.
David W. Woodruff, father of Oscar Woodruff. 423 Cherry street, has bad an interesting and inter- «-sted life and today . will be an honored guest at the "Family Day" celebration at St. Paul Methodist church, providing the weather per- mits him to go and he's deter- mined to do ao.
He was 96 years old last July.
JOINED-CHURCH. IN .1844 -
Away back yonder, it seems to ua now. but it's not so long to him, In 1844 when the Northern and Southern Methodist churches were created, Mr. Woodruff, then a boy of 13, joined the church at Fayette- ville, Ark., and has heon a member ever alnce. He at present holds bis membership at Sherman, Texas.
And his friends teil of the time when he and a Mexican boy were camping out on the plains of Texas
1192
where he was homesteading 6000 acres of land, a grant for his serv- ice in the Civil war, and when he would ride 18 miles each week on the burro to attend Sunday school, starting on the journey early Satur- day morning. That was after Mr. Woodruff was 70 years old.

"NOT A CIVIL WAR"
But it's about his war experiences that he likes most to talk. "it wasn't a Civil war," he declares feelingly. "There wasn't anything civil 'about it. Sometimes they called me a rebel. I wasn't. I was a aecessionist, pure and simple They were all sovereign states and had the right to secede, And thir- teen of them did."
He joined the Confederate forces in ,Barry county nnd relates proud- Ly that he was in "Buahnell'a regi- ment, Bagby's division, " Horton's cavalry corpa, Louisiana ..

PLANÉ RIDE AT 90 -
€ In 1835 when he was'four years old Mr. Woodruff with his father and mother passed through the "hamlet of Springfield" In a covered wagon drawn by oxen on their way, to Fayetteville In what is now Arkansas.
Last summer while visiting a son in the aviation service at San Antonio Mr. Woodruff-96. years old- took his first ride in an air- plane and liked it.
"It was a great big machine and about eight people went In." he relates. "We were flying over a great lake and I looked out and thought I could dip it up with my straw hat. Then one of the men running it atuck his head up through a little door and told us that we were going to make a turn and for us to follow around the curve with our eyes as the ship made the turn or we would get dizzy. The machine turned way up on Its siJe like a crazy buzzard and I looked out and down and didn't get dizzy," Mr. Woodruff chuckles.
