 SETTLEMENT AND EARLY AFFAIRS.

Page 357

The territory embraced within the limits of what is now Cedar County was first settled in the year 1832.  The pioneers were Robert Graham, Thomas English, John Crisp and a Mr. Crump, who located near the once site of Dunnegan & Montgomery's mill, on the Sac River, two miles east of Stockton, coming at the same time, and arriving November 17 of the year mentioned.  A large, hollow sycamore tree at first furnished shelter for a part of the little band of adventurers.  At this time the red man roamed over the country with much of his native freedom, and the wild animals indigenous to this latitude were plentiful here.

Early Experiences—Pioneer experiences are always interesting.  The earliest habitations of the pioneers in Cedar were of the most primitive description, hastily built of logs, and illy [sic] provide with the conveniences of life.  The roofs of some of

Page 358

them were of bark, and others were roofed with bark and skins.  Few had windows, and in their walls window-holes even were not too numerous.  No glass was obtainable for some time after settlement began.  At first blankets served as doors, suspended, curtain-like, over apertures left for ingress and egress.  There were no stoves for some years, and at first even the rudest fireplaces were not often to be seen.  Many of the cabins were without floors, and such as prevailed were rough-hewn “puncheon” floors.  The furniture in use was of the simplest kind.  In one house which has been described, bedsteads and tables were provided by driving stakes in the ground and resting hewn planks upon poles extending from the tops of the stakes to auger-holes in the logs of the walls; chairs were merely blocks of wood or the most easily constructed stools, and the fireplace was simply a spot on the ground underneath a hole in the roof through which the smoke escaped.

Robert Graham went nearly sixty miles to mill, and about once a year to Springfield to do his trading.  That was the nearest trading point, and he was often given errands to do for his neighbors and for people living along the way. 

John Williams built the first mill on Cedar Creek, in Washington Township.  It was not until settlement had advanced considerably that Crow’s and Bell’s mills were erected.  The Dunnegan & Montgomery mill is well remembered, and Caplinger’s mill has been known for years.  The first merchants in the county were Tilton & Sanders, at Stockton.  The first election held in Cedar County, under the county organization, was in 1845, and the voting in the different municipal townships then in existence was at the following designated places: In Madison, at the house of Richard Tatum; in Jefferson, at Bell’s mills; in Linn, at the house of Jackson Cook; in Benton, at the house of Henry Earl; and in Cedar, at the house of Anderson Morton.  Following are the names of the judges of election in their respective townships: Madison, James Jackson, Richard Tatum, Thomas English; Jefferson, Jacob Dixon, James Simrell, William Brasher; Linn, John Ruth, R.S. McKinney, John Satterfield; Benton, Henry Earl, Charles L. Clark, Joseph B. Carrico; Cedar, Josiah Edwards, Anderson Morton, Burgess Hurt.  The first justices of the  

Page 359

peace appointed for the several townships were: Madison, Abraham Lovell, Absalom Baker, Richard Tatum, Jefferson, James Simrell, John B. Ingram, James M. Frazier, George R. Cowan; Linn, Robert Hoggin, John Ruth, Thomas Ross, William Powell; Cedar, James Smith, David Copeland; Benton, Charles L. Clark, David W. Martindale, Elisha Smith.  The first overseers of road districts were: Thomas Gordon, William Perkins, James Jackson and Robert Walker.

Roads and Improvements.—Among the first necessities of the early residents of the county after improvements had been made in different localities, were roads to connect them and afford communication with the county seat and the outside world.  In May, 1846, Nathan Shirley, Josiah V. Edwards and John B. Gordon were appointed to view and mark out a county road leading from the county town to the county line at Parkard’s Ford on Clear Creek, and Andrew McWilliams, John Edsall and Nathan Parker, Jr., to survey for a proposed change in the State road from Clinton, Mo., to Fayetteville, Ark., the substitute portion to leave the old road near William Pankey’s and intersect it again near Andrew Stewart’s.  May 19 a committee appointed to survey a State road from Bolivar to Fort Scott, through Cedar County, made a report to the county court with was approved.  Jacob Rae, Washington Crabtree and Henry Davis were appointed to lay out a road from the county seat to the St. Clair County line, in the direction of Osceola, to cross the Sac River at Caplinger’s mills, and, June 16, James Frazier, Joseph B. Ingram, John Simmons and James Miller were appointed to survey a road from the county town to the Polk County line to intersect a road through Polk County in the direction of Hermitage.  August 17, James S. Conner, Ira D. Bryles and Alexander W. Johnson were appointed to lay out “a county road from Stockton to the Dade County line, to intersect a road leading from Greenfield to Bell’s mill between Ross’ mills and the big Sac River and Joseph English’s place.”  On the same day, a remonstrance having been presented to the county court “against a review of a road form Stockton via Blakey’s mills, in the direction of Hermitage,” William Davis, George R. Cowan and Robert C. Walker were appointed commissioners to lay out said road anew.  June

21, 1847, James M. Blakey was authorized to keep a ferry on Big Sac River, on the county road leading from Stockton, by way of Blakey’s mill to the Polk County line.

Wild Animals, Fowl, and Fish.—In its pioneer period, Cedar County was infested with all kinds of wild animals and fowls common to its latitude.  Such buffalo as were not destroyed by early hunters fled to the westward and soon disappeared.  Wolves, panthers and wild-cats are almost extinct.  Deer long remained in considerable numbers, and bear are seen occasionally to this day.  Smaller game and wild turkeys and ducks are abundant.  Fish are plentiful and of good size.

Indians.—Cedar County has no exciting Indian history.  Roving bands of Indians at times traded with the settlers, maintaining friendly relations with them and seldom threatening them or molesting their property.  They have never returned in any considerable numbers since about 1840.

First Birth, Death and Marriage.—The first birth in Cedar County of a white child was that of Susan Jane Graham, October 13, 1833.  She was a daughter of Robert and Ann Graham, and married George W. Sallee, and died in 1888.  The first marriage occurred in 1833, the contracting parties being John Crisp and Melinda, daughter of Thomas English.  The first burial was that of James Hopper, who was interred six miles southwest of Stockton in a black walnut log dug out like a trough.  The services were conducted by Rev. J. J. Johnson (Baptist), and were attended by not more than fifteen people, among whom were Thomas Graham and his mother.

The First Preacher and Physicians in the county were Rev. J. J. Johnson and Drs. Samuel W. Horn and William Gordon.  The pioneer dominie was a good man, universally liked, and called “Uncle Jimmie.”  Dr. Page 357 is dead.  Dr. Horn is living at Stockton at an advanced age.
