- HOWELL, SMITH, WALKER posted by Gary Howell on Saturday, March 1, 1997
- Walter Stonewald Jackson HOWELL was born nov. 11.1880, near Kenton, TN, in Obion County. Walter was the eldest of three son born to John W. and "Sudie" Susan HOWELL. The Family moved to Stoddard County MO sometime in 1892. As a young man, Walter worked mostly in the sawmills handling cypress and gum logs. On Dec. 18, 1901, Walter married Lelie Ida SMITH at the home of Walter's parents, with John Childres, as Justice of the Peace performing the ceremony. Lelie SMITH was born Nov. 4, 1881, the daughter of James William Swamp Bill) SMITH and Lula Eva WALKER. At the time of her marriage to Walter, Lelie was teaching school at what was known as the Smith School. Lelie left school early on the day of her weddingto meet Walter, the couple had to walk amile and a half through deep snow to the Howell house. T.C. "Doc' Howell, Walter's brother was left in charge of the students at the schoolhouse. He took them rabbit hunting and then dismissed them for a vacation from Wednesday afternoon until following Monday. Walter and Lelie made their homewith his parents for the first six months of their marriage. They then moved to a sawmillwhere Lelie cooked for boarders while Walter worked at the mill. They lived at the mill until the arrival of their twins, Ruth and Rubert on Sept. 2, 1902. After leaving the sawmill, the Howell's moved into a house that had been remodeledfrom the former schoolhouse where Lelie had taught. Walter farmed the land, then owned by the Jackson Land Company. He farmed it in the summer and logged in the winter, using a hitch of eight oxen to remove the large cypress logs from the swamp. Oxen were used because horses and mules were not able to stand up under the strain of the swamp. The logger often worked in water up over their boot tops. Walter useran eight foot long whip with a four foot handle to persuade the oxen, it also came in handy for combating snakes. Family stories have been told about Walterbeing able to snip the head off a snake as far as eight feet away. Walter and Lelie lived and worked in the swamp for several years and then moved to a farm one and one half miles east of the town of Bernie. Then in 1946 they moved to their final home in Bernie. There were a total of eleven children born to this union. Lelie Ida smith Howell passed away may 16,1968 and Walter Stonewald Jackson Howell passed away May21, 1968 just five days later. Both are buried in the Bernie Cemetery. I am still looking for more information on John and "Sudie" Howell as to birthdays, place of births and so on. Walter and Lelie were my grandparents. Also, at least three different spellings of Lelie's first name have appeared on different legal documents, ie, Lelie, Lele, and Lelah.

- BROOKS, SHAKE posted by Susan Bevelhime on Wednesday, March 5, 1997
- (By the way, in exchange for favors (!) I can offer look-up assistance in Portland, Oregon in return, or probably coerce my sister in Indiana to do a look-up at the Allen Co. library in Fort Wayne...) Here's what I'm trying to find out: Spencer Judson SHAKE (b. 1-16-1860, Warren Co. Iowa) and Mary Rebecca BROOKS (b.5-10-1857, Carroll Co., TN) were married on 11-25-1880 according to a family Bible. I'm trying to establish a location for the marriage and find a record of it. According to the same Bible, three of their children were born in Stoddard Co., Missouri, so I am wondering if the marriage took place there also. The children are: Hallie Mae (b. 1-11-1882), Lucy Lavina (b. 1-21-1884) and Clarence Arthur (b. 4-1-1886) I'd love to get any information re the Shake's marriage, or official confirmation of the births of their children in Stoddard Co., and would willingly pay for copying costs of course. Thanks for any help! Susan Bevelhimer 3928 NE 14th Portland, Oregon 97212 e-mail: sbevelhi@pcc.edu

He married Elizabeth GILLISPIE in Tennessee, and they moved, along with many other family members, to Missouri, which was then called "Upper Louisiana." They settled on land near what became known as Byrd Creek at the Byrd Settlement in what was eventually called Byrd township of Cape Girardeau County. Abraham died there 22 June 1857.
