I would be interested in any information available about a small 'mass' migration of Dent County families to Montana, that occurred in 1882. In excess of 100 people packed up and followed one John W. Patrick up the Missouri River to Fort Benton. There were at least two steamboats used by these families, most of them booked as 'deck passengers'... In the Fort Benton River Press this exodus was called 'the Patrick Colony'. The Far West and the Rosebud steamers carried most of the passengers, and both arrived in Fort Benton early June of 1882. Patrick himself apparently followed on the General Meade. One would think a group this large leaving a specific area would have received some attention/notice. I'd like to know more about this emigration.

Yes Luella, that school was called Empire School , just west of Gladden. There is indeed a cemetary behind it. I went there in the1956-57 school year, after going to South Crossroads the previous 6 years. I have some pictures that I have taken through the years. I sent some to the address in your query, but I don’t know if you received them. Hope this helps.

Hello,

I have been trying to find school records from the South Crossroads school from the 30’s and on, until it was consolidated. I went there from the fall of 1950 through the spring of 1957. It was located west of Gladden toward Jadwin, near the Glen Belew homeplace. Some of the teachers I had were Glenna Enlow, Edward Pace, Ethel Briggs and her husband (Morris?)

In 1957, I attended Empire School at Gladden. If anyone has any information, I would dearly appreciate your sharing. I know there are records in the courthouse in Salem , and I was able to find some a few years ago, such as attendees and such. I would love to know if there are any school photos from the 30’s 40’s and 50’s.

Thanks for reading,
Bill

 I have a question. My Grandfather James Calvin Whiteaker was suppose to have had been married to a Dica T Shults on 08/20/1893 in Dent Co MO. James is my grandfather and I guess no one in the family ever knew he was married to this lady or just didn't say anything about it .If so what happen to Dica Shults. All of us knew he was married to Lettie Leonard. And there are suppose to be documents of this in the marriage license book in Salem. Does anyone know anything about this. This is such news to me

Surnames: Hodges

Posted: 31 Jan 2008

Does anyone remember a one room school house near Gladden, Dent Co., Mo. There was a graveyard nearby, the older girls used to go there and take the flowers and ribbons from the graves. It had an outhouse and an outside water pump. The teachers name around 1953 was Denver Hodges.
 
I started school there at 5yrs old. Would love to know if it is still standing and would really like a picture of it, if it is. Would pay postage and cost of film if not digital.
 
I used to live on a 395 acre farm near Gladden but can't remember exactly where. My folks sold farm, livestock, machinery and all for $11,000 in 1953/54 and moved us to
Springfield. My Dad's health was bad. But I sure wish we could have stayed on the farm.  Dad had built a rock front porch on the house. We kids helped gather the rocks, seemed the farm grew them well. I bet 11k won't buy much now.
Appreciate any help you can give me, Thank you!
