Schools, at Greenville, Mo. He
is highly educated and long
since classed among the foremost educators of this county.
He wore the
conventional black. Both

Mrs. Dearing had been apprised of the event in time so that a
mixture of colored lights and Christmas greens greeted the eyes of the
contracting parties as they entered the handsomely furnished and
artistically decorated parlor, where the solemn and impressive ring
ceremony was performed by Dr. Hordy of the Baptist Church of St. Louis,

Jan 11, 1906 - Whitt-Bean married, West Plains, Mo. On Tuesday evening,
Dec 26, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. R. Bean, at West Plains, Mo., occurred the marriage of
their daughter, Miss Margaret Etta, to Mr. Charles Whitt, of Wayne
County, Mo. Miss Bean has
been a resident of this city but a short time, but we are assured that
those who know her best esteem her most, and Mr. Whitt is fortunate in
securing such an estimable help-meet.
The wedding was a quiet home affair, only the relatives and
intimate friends of the contracting parties being present.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, which was conducted by Rev.
Robison, of the Baptist church, the assembled guests, after offering
hearty congratulations and wishing the bride and groom a long and
prosperous journey together through life, were conducted to a daintily
spread table, bountifully supplied with refreshments, to which they did
ample justice before bidding the happy pair good night.

Ward - Wayne County Journal Jan 11, 1906 Little
"Linn," as he was affectionately called, was an unusually
bright child, just budding into that most interesting period of life,
the entrance from infancy into childhood days. All that loving hearts
could do was done to keep him among those who loved him most dearly, but
and All-wise Providence saw proper to pluck the budding flower ere the
rude and sterner forces of a more mature life had marred the beauty and
fragrance of its loveliness, to transplant it in that realm of the
blest, safe from all harm to bloom for evermore in the
radiance of Him who said: "Suffer
little children to come unto me," etc. To his precious memory
these lines are dedicated. A
Friend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alfred Green
Whitt-obituary - Wayne County Journal Jan 11, 1906 He leaves a wife, one
son and daughter, mother and sister to mourn his untimely loss.
He was sick only about eight or ten days.
Dr. N. G. Wilson did all that he knew to do to save his life, but
God saw fit to call him home. May
God bless the family that they may so live that when they are called to
die that they will be prepared to meet him in Heaven. Farewell, Uncle
Alfred, may thy long home be a heaven of rest, and when the summons
comes from Him on high to call the rest of thy family to His home above,
may they be prepared to meet their God in peace.

- Wayne County Journal January 18, 1906 Prof. W. H. Hale, who
has done so much for the education of poor boys and girls in Southeast
Missouri, was born in Wayne County, Missouri, September 3, 1850.
Raised to work on a farm till twenty-one years of age.
Learned arithmetic without a teacher, save about thirty days
spent in the district school. After having taught
two terms of school, he attended college seven years. Five years of said time was spent in William Jewell College.
He then founded Hale's College in 1880, in Wayne County, of which
college he was president for more than fifteen years.
No school did more for Southeast Missouri than Hale's College.
Hundreds of dollars were given away to orphan children, children
of preachers of all denominations, young preachers, and poor boys and
girls who were not able to pay their tuition.
No one was ever turned away because he was poor.
Many were credited till they were able to teach school. Many of the best business men and women of Southeast Missouri
were educated at Hale's College. He became a member of
the Missionary Baptist Church when seventeen years old. Commenced preaching while at William Jewell College (preached
first sermon in Chapel, from Rev. 22:17); became dissatisfied with some
practices of the church, left the Baptist church and became identified
with the Christian Church. His
labors in said church for the past twenty years and have been second to
none. To know his greatness as a teacher, you must to school to him; and
to know his power in the pulpit, you must hear him.
To know his hospitality at home, you only have to visit him. He has been a hard student since ten years of age.
Never played when in College.
Has preached for every Christian Church in Wayne County as
pastor, except Cedar Creek. Preached
for Taskee seven years, Carson Hill eleven years, Greenville fourteen
years, Libertyville, St. Francois County, seven years. Evangelized for
the State Board nearly two years. Taught
in the Dexter Christian College. Has
abandoned everything else except preaching.
Married Miss Mary A. Smith, a Wayne County girl. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obit - William
Settle - Wayne County Journal February 22, 1906 On the 27th day of
July 1879, he was married to Miss Mattie Sutton, sister of Marcus
Sutton, to which union a number of children were born.
The wife and five children survive him. He was a consistent
member of the Greenville Baptist church for many years, and his home was
always open to his pastors. He
had been in rather poor health for a number of years and only six days
before his death he was stricken with pneumonia and owing to his frail
constitution the attending physician was unable to give relief. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. H. M. Duncan, after which the remains were laid
to rest in the Green cemetery on Big Lake Creek.
His conduct in everyday life is sufficient testimony as to his
reward, Mr. Settle had many friends in this community and the Journal
joins the in sympathy for the bereaved family.

-Wayne County Journal March 22, 1906 We quote from the
Republic of March 12th, 1906 Mrs. Forbes’s Story The register for last
year shows about 8,000 persons who visited the cabin in the valley, and
the daily average this year is something like forty per day. Speaking of
her gift, Mrs. Forbes said: “I know nothing of
my power except what people tell me, as I do not remember anything of
what has been said or what I have done while I was in this supernatural
state. One thing that
embarrasses me, though, is they tell me that when I am in that condition
I play with dolls just as a child does, and that I say I am only six
years old. This is very
embarrassing to me, and I would do anything to be relieved of the
wonderful power they say I possess. “It seems,, from
report, however that I am doing lots of good, and of course I am glad of
that; but now that so many people come here, this place no longer seems
like home. When I come out
of the supernatural state it seems as if I had just awoke from a
refreshing slumber, but my husband tells me that I never sleep till
about 3 o’clock in the morning, and that when I go into this spell”
at supper it never leaves before 3 o’clock.” When asked why she did
no move to some town easy of access she said: “This place has been
home to me for so long that I would be lonesome in a city or town, and
maybe, if we stay here the people will soon get tired of coming, in
cause it is so hard to get here. The
who thing is distasteful to me.
We have had several offers to go to cities, and people have
offered us money to make the change, but I don’t want to go.”
We were in Poplar Bluff a few days ago and Mr. O. B. Galloway
offered my husband $100 if he would get me to talk for two nights in
that city, but I would not permit him to accept the money, for I believe
that God has given me this power, and it would not be right to charge
for doing anything for the people.” The Change to Infancy Mrs. Forbes sat at the
supper table not long ago. When
about half through eating the whole expression of her face changed; her
eyes became wide open and staring; her appetite changed and she adopted
the vernacular of a child. Immediately
after supper Mrs. Forbes retired to a room, where she has twelve or
fourteen dolls that have been given to her by visitors.
She took each doll and kissed it, talking as a child does, and
calling them by name. After
amusing herself in this manner for thirty minutes, she replaced the
dolls and faking the people in the room said: “My mission here is to
tell the people there is a hell, and there is a heaven, and that the
Bible is not crooked, but that the people read the Bible……………

Bollinger Lasater, March 22, 1906, Wayne County Journal On last Tuesday
evening between seven and eight o’clock, while a few friends and
relatives were assembled at the bedside of little Clesie Bollinger
Lasater, an unseen messenger entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. David
Lasater and tenderly lifted from mothers arms the pure soul of little
Clesie. He was one year and
five months old. His
suffering during the 5 weeks of his sickness was too great to describe. His remains were laid to rest in the Little Lake Cemetery on
the evening of April 11. There are man things
to comfort his parents. They
know little Clesie is in the arms of our dear Savior.
He called his mamma by beckoning his hand and hour or two before
he died. He held out his
little hands to his grandpa and clapped them together and looked up at
him as to say come on grandpa, I’ll join your hand in heaven. Cheer up papa and
mamma. Be ever ready to
join your little boy in heaven when God sends his messenger to call you
to Him and Clesie. A Friend ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Club Meeting, March

October 4, 1906, Wayne County Journal. From the Piedmont
Banner. Mrs. Malugen, or
“Grandma,” as she was affectionately referred to by her many friends
in Piedmont, was stricken with paralysis some months ago.
She lingered in considerable pain, gradually growing weaker all
the time until last Saturday, when death came like and angel of
compassion and removed her from her sufferings. The deceased’s
maiden name was Tullock. She
is survived by a sister living in Colorado and a brother at Bismarck,

William and Hayes, of Doniphan; Mrs. Thomas Gilbreath, of Piedmont; Mrs.

Amburg, of Greenville, Texas. All
her children were present when she died except Mrs. Van Amburg. Mrs. Malugen’s
husband died eighteen years ago. The
old home place was on a farm near Piedmont where the family was reared.
Mrs. Malugen was a good woman in every attitude of life, and she
was loved by everybody who had the good fortune to enjoy her
acquaintance. She was a
consistent member of the Baptist Church. Mrs. Malugen was
buried Sunday afternoon at the Masonic cemetery, after funeral services
by friend and neighbor, Rev J. C. L. _____ pastor of the local Methodist
church. A large crowd of
sorrowing relatives and friends followed her remains to their last
resting place. To these the
Banner expresses its deepest sympathy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Big Lake Creek
Items- October 4, 1906, Wayne County Journal. Mr. Editor: As I have
not seen any news from this vicinity in your paper lately, thought I
would send in a few notes. Health is very good at
present. Wheat sowing in dust
has been the order of the day, but if they sow now it will be in the
mud. Well the merchants of
Greenville seem to differ some as to the standard weight of a bushel of
sweet potatoes, some say it is fifty pounds and some say fifty-six.
They should know the standard weights and measures. The following brethren
returned on Tuesday last fro the United Baptist Association held at
Bethany Church in Madison County, which begun on Saturday before the
fourth Lords day in September, 1906.

October 4, 1906, Wayne County Journal. By Orion. We have had a six days
rain and it has paralyzed business. John Long, a blind
ex-Union soldier 59 years old, was married to Mrs. Tucker, who is 59
years old. He draws a pension of $1.00 a day. This is a strong
Democratic precinct. It
voted last election 131 Democrat to 35 Republican.
This is not a healthy location of Republicans, they soon die or
leave. Messrs. Rhodes, Elmer,
Lewis and Steel, Republican candidates, spoke here Saturday night.
Owing to bad weather there were only 53 out to hear them, and 43
of there were Democrats. They
go from here to Carter County. I was at Greenville
last Monday and called at the Bennett & Smith bit store.
I was surprised to see such a big stock of goods in a small town
like Greenville. They carry
at least a fifteen thousand dollar stock and it is well arranged.
They are certainly up-to-date merchants. I noticed a
communication in the Journal from D. A. White saying some very hard
things about our Greenville Sun man.
Bro. White, if I may be allowed to call him by that name, is a
crank on this so-called sanctified religion. He has lost it twice
himself and this is the third dose he has taken, but I am afraid it will
not last long. He things
that because he things sanctified doctrine is right everybody ought to
think so or he will sure go to the bad. In the first place he writes his letters too lengthy.
Our county papers are small and there is not enough room for 13
pages of sanctified doctrine in them, especially when very few indorse
it. Readers of our county
papers like to read the news from Texas and lall other points, but
don’t like to read a man’s opinion on sanctification, especially
when he is not a learned the theologian. October 4, 1906, Wayne County Journal. J. R. Whitt of Ojibway
was in our office one day last week.
He was recently married to Miss Pearl Ballard of that section.
He is a son of Mrs. L. J. Whitt, the lady who has had charge of
the Bennett House. James B. McGhee,

a supply of cards to use in the campaign.
Mr. McGhee is a good man for the office and a good campaigner and
will no doubt make a winning race. Rev. W. H. Dees went
to Holcomb Friday to meet his appointments there, that being the place

Dees is a conscientious Christian, minister and made many friends here
