1 The Bear Flag PaTrioTs The Official News of the Missouri Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans Issue Ii Gary G. Ayres, Editor july 2012 What is the function of a newsletter? I reckon you could say that its function is just about anything you would want it to be. To me it is to report, announce, advise, etc. members of the events within that organisation. It should report events of the past, present and future. It should include spiritual guidance. All of this is very important because each Camp, Officer or individual can report, announce or advise others. This then comes under the term communications. Think about the term communications. It is the most important part of everyday life, not just in an organisation. Without communications we have nothing but instability, unrest, uproar, disorder and a whole host of circumstances. The lack of communications will also lead to unhappiness in a group and within ourselves. This will then lead to the destruction of the very thing we joined together to do. Really think about this. I believe Commander Maples has set the tone for the survival of the Division. He has made it clear to all that, while we are working for our Ancestors good names and duties and for our future, we must communicate with each other. When we communicate and understand more of what is going on within us we will start having fun. By having fun you will start in your own Camp, then to other Camp s activities and on to the Division s activities. This is one of the most important reasons of the newsletter, if not the most important. This is already working in the Division. I know of one Brigade Commander, Commander Montgomery, who started visiting Camps and getting a Fall Muster together. I understand from talking to members from each Camp in the Western Brigade that they like this and are already looking forward to it. I could go on and on but believe you know what I am saying; let s work and have fun working. Gary G. Ayres, Editor

2 Attention! Skipper On Deck It s Not About Us I recently took the time to make the drive to a small cemetery in rural Miller County, Missouri. Hickory Point Cemetery, located between the towns of Iberia and Tuscumbia, Missouri is the final resting Place for my Great-Great Grandfather, Bentley Barton. Bentley Barton was a Private in Company E, 3 rd Missouri Cavalry Battalion, Confederate States Army. Although not a particularly long drive from my home, I found myself struggling with when to find time to make the trip to place a Confederate Battle Flag on Pvt. Barton s grave site. Not that the trip is long and hard but, like so many others in this world, I thought my life was just so busy and full, many activities even being SCV related, that I was finding it difficult to find the time to make the trip. But then it hit me once again being a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, is not about me. It is however, about our Confederate ancestors who often lost everything they had their homes, their property, their families and many ultimately lost their lives defending what they knew in their hearts to be just and right. Needless to say, I promptly grabbed not only one Confederate Battle Flag, but instead grabbed a handful and headed on down to the cemetery. And, once again, I took the necessary time to place these flags on the grave sites of men who still need to be remembered, and still need to be revered. They were heroes and patriots. They knew that should they fail in their struggle, what lie ahead for their descendants. They knew the consequences of their fight and still they fought on, living and dying for a Cause that we all too often let slip from our purpose. These men, our Confederate ancestors are our reason for existing as an organization. They entrusted us, members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans to carry the torch, to perpetuate the principles for which they fought, which was so eloquently delivered to the SCV by Lt. General Stephen D. Lee. When I take the time to think about just what our Confederate ancestors endured, I find myself feeling very humbled, yet very proud as well. And it is that feeling of humility and pride in my Confederate ancestors that drives me to always take a precious few hours of my time to visit the grave sites of these extraordinary men. I believe that it does all SCV members good to occasionally visit the grave site of a Confederate soldier, whether or not the soldier is one of our ancestors. To simply stop by a cemetery to pay respect to a Confederate soldier has always seemed to revive the Confederate pride I felt when I first joined the SCV. It also seems to give me a feeling of being grounded, clearing my mind of the clutter that seems to fill our every waking hour. These men we call our Confederate ancestors were men of honor, and it is our duty to now honor them. I would encourage each and every one of you to take the time to visit a Confederate soldier s grave site, tip your hat and give him a salute. We all need to be reminded occasionally that our beloved SCV is the direct heir to the Confederate veterans themselves. We are their progeny. Ours is a heritage of honor, and it is to their memory that we owe our efforts. When we keep things in this perspective, we will come to the realization that being a member of the SCV. is not about us. Yours in the Bonds of Confederate Brotherhood, Darrell L. Maples Commander Missouri Division Sons of Confederate Veterans P.S. I would like to thank the members of the various camps I have had the opportunity to visit in recent weeks, and to encourage you all to keep me posted on your camp activities. It has been a true pleasure to spend time with my fellow Compatriots of the Missouri Division and to share in our common Confederate heritage and camaraderie. I look forward to spending time with the camps I have yet to visit and hope to make those visits soon! DLM

3 chaplain s dais Chaplain s Comments Oliver E. Sappington Division Chaplain So much of our Confederate heritage is built on our ancestor s love of and devotion to God and country. We are thankful that this heritage has survived and has been passed on to us over the last 150 years. One book that so powerfully exemplifies these virtues of love and devotion is the Chaplain s Handbook, Sons of Confederate Veterans (Enlarged Sesquicentennial Edition). Our special thanks to Dr. H. Rondel Rumburg, Past Chaplain-in-Chief SCV, who compiled and edited the Chaplain s Handbook and for granting permission to include the following section on Camp Chaplains: Qualifications and Responsibilities, written by Dr. Charles E. Baker, Past Chaplain-in-Chief SCV. Qualifications for a Camp Chaplain: Camp Chaplains By Dr. Charles E. Baker Past Chaplain-in-Chief of SCV Qualifications and Responsibilities Inward: A man born of the Spirit or as the Lord Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3 that he must be born again, that is, he must come to repentance of his sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. Outward: 1. There should be manifestations of the fruit of the Spirit who indwells the believer as set forth in Galations 5: The requirements for deacons and elders as set forth by the hand of inspiration in I Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:5-9 are excellent requirements for the Chaplain as well. The same requirements are desirable for any leader giving forth the Word of God. Responsibilities of a Camp Chaplain: A. The Chaplain should open and close all camp meetings (both regular and special) with prayer. B. If the Commander is amiable to the matter, the Chaplain may give a brief devotional at the opening of the camp meeting. (The Chaplain should be careful not to infringe upon the time of the regular program but neither should he be too timid to give a Scriptural message.) C. The Scriptural translation generally used by the chaplains in the Confederate States of America was the Authorized Version, popularly known as the King James Version. This time honoured translation should be given preference above all others in Confederate services. D. Denominational distinctions should be avoided but a scriptural presentation of the Gospel of Christ should be given clearly without apology. The Confederate States of America was unashamedly a Christian nation as its leaders statements clearly show. It is equally clear from reading the letters of the humble private. E. The Chaplain should not be ashamed of that name which is above every name, that of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every prayer given should be in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Do not let some politically correct compatriot dissuade you.) Faith in the Saviour is the heart and soul of our Southern heritage. F. Do the work of a colporteur. Tracts are a means of getting the Gospel into the hands of the camp members. This can sometimes be done through the distribution of reproduction of Gospel tracts that were used by the Confederate Chaplains. Some present-day tracts upon the subject of the faith of Confederate leaders and the

4 Confederate people may also be used with profit. Camp members who are not generally interested in spiritual matters will often read this for their historic value. G. Study to show thyself approved. This statement in II Timothy 2:15, of course, refers to the Word of God, which should be the top priority for any Christian; however, it is useful to familiarize oneself with the history, cause, sufferings, and spiritual life of the Southern people during and after the War Between the States, and, in particular, the CSA Chaplaincy. There are numerous fine books that one may read, but there are three basic books that would be profitable for any Chaplain to read. They are CHRIST IN THE CAMP BY j. William Jones, GREAT REVIVAL IN THE SOUTHERN ARMIES by W. W. Bennett, and CHAPLAINS IN GRAY by Charles F. Pitts. We are indebted to Rev. Mr. Lloyd T. Sprinkle that Sprinkle Publications has reprinted in good quality bindings all three of these books, two of which are by Confederate Chaplains who were on the field. H. The Chaplain should show a genuine interest and concern for the welfare of the men and their families. Even the unconverted generally appreciate a sincere interest in their well-being. This will sometimes open opportunities to give the Gospel or spiritual guidance. There is no substitute for a compassionate heart. I. Be faithful to do your duty. One cannot do more, nor should he desire to do less. Full fill your responsibilities, and be an example of a Christian gentleman upon which you Commander and comrades can count on as their Chaplain. J. Pray over your men in private prayer, for their spiritual salvation, growth, and well being. K. Be not easily discouraged but instead pray for a humble spirit, a servant s heart, a steadfast determination and godly wisdom. Be a good soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ. Draw your strength from Him, for He cares for you. Responsibilities of a Camp Chaplain will be continued in the next Division newsletter. For additional information of Confederate Chaplains, visit the website Lord s Blessings, Ollie Greetings From the Western Brigade Commander Greetings and Salutations from the Western Brigade to You Missouri Sons of Confederate Veterans. I have visited with the following camps, Gen. J. H. McBride Camp #632 in Springfield, Mo. on the 18 th of May. Col. John T. Coffee Camp #1934 [Coffee Camp meets in different locations in the area.]. Gen. Joe Shelby Camp #191 in Warrensburg, Mo.on the 10 th of June. Gen. John T. Hughes Camp #614 in Independence, Mo. on the 14 th of June. It has been suggested that we have a "FALL MUSTER" of the Western Brigade Camps. This would be a FAMILY, NO ADULT BEVERAGE, POT LUCK/ BAR-B-QUE Muster sometime in the fall after Labor Day. A date of September 8th has been agreed on for the Muster by all camps with further details to be worked out. As to the food, it has been suggested that each camp bring their Potluck items. By the time each camp does, this there will be a cornucopia of food items. I would ask the Camp Commanders to appoint a committee from each camp to work out the food details. As to a CENTRAL location -- Rick Reed has offered his "Barn"/ Cabin in the Osceola area as a possible location for the Muster. This is a work in progress. COMMUNICATION is the thing that will bring it off. I think communication between the Western Brigade camps is extremely important. We are of the South. Remembering our Southern Heritage is the glue that binds us together. Our Brigade is alive and well.

5 On that note I would put forth a suggestion that the 4 Camp Commanders, Western Brigade Commander and the Missouri State Commander meet for an occasional "Bull Session". Camp Commanders to set time, date and frequency. Commander Maples seems attuned to our growth and well-being. Until next time, Deo Vindice B.J. Montgomery, Western Brigade Commander, Missouri Division UPDATE FOR FALL MUSTER On Saturday, September 8 th, 2012 the Western Brigade will have its fall muster. Everyone is encouraged to arrive sometime in the early to late morning. The muster will be at the property of Rick Reed. Rick has a lot of space and a log cabin there. This will be pot luck, so bring your favourite dish, pop, lemonade, tea, etc. Contact Brigade Commander Montgomery at otaykid@yahoo.com or call him at to coordinate what to bring. Directions to the muster: from Missouri Highway 13 go west on Missouri 82, 4.5 miles to SE 150 Rd., turn left and 1 mile. There will be signs posted directing you to the location. Oh and bring your Camp flags! US Fact: Lincoln was a Whig then turned to the new Republican Party for his first presidential election. To run for a second term he knew he would not be able to win under the Republican Party, so he ran under the National Union Party/League. Gentlemen, Skipper s Travels I just wanted to give a brief report regarding what I feel to be a new spirit of cooperation within the Missouri Division. I've had the opportunity over the past several weeks to attend several camp meetings of the camps in our MO Division... still have a few more to make, but will do that as time permits. Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the James H. McBride Camp meeting at Springfield, had a great time meeting with the camp members, etc., and I was also thrilled to see Western Brigade Commander B.J. Montgomery in attendance as well. This just made my evening. This is the spirit of cooperation and communication that I am hoping to see continue with the Division. Commander Montgomery took it upon himself to make a visit to a camp in his Brigade, to get to know the membership and be of assistance where he could. We must do more of this, we are all in this together, and we all have the same Confederate blood that makes us who we are. My sincere gratitude and appreciation is in order to Commander Montgomery and to the McBride Camp as well. While there, McBride Camp Commander Mark Harris volunteered to be the Western Brigade representative on our Heritage Defense Committee, and for that we are all grateful as well. Conversation was also had regarding a Western Brigade "get-together" later this year, which will again strengthen the bonds of Confederate brotherhood between camps and members.

6 My sincere thanks to all the camps I have visited since our Reunion this past March, and I look forward to spending time with those still on the list to visit. Please feel free to share this message with your respective memberships. Confederate Regards, Darrell L. Maples - Commander Missouri Division - SCV FACT: After Gen. Lee s surrender in April 1865, gathered along the Tombigbee River was the Mobile Squadron still flying its flag. On 8 May Commodore Farrand signed surrender terms and turned over his ships.

Join the Partriot Army of Missouri Bear Flag Campaign Putting out any newsletter, small or large, in colour or black and white, costs money. We have to come up with a way to continue this type of communications. Many of us have discussed this and believe we have come up with a way to accomplish this task. As I remember well, the Marines had a saying that went something like this--the key to success was the ability to adapt and overcome. We will have two versions of the newsletter. All the important information will be in both. The difference will be the e- version will have colour pictures. The postal version will have the same info but will be in black and white and with less pictures. This can change at any time, who knows, it may be by the next issue.

9 Sterling Price Camp#145 St. Louis, MO THOMAS M. KENNEDY 1001 S. WARSON RD. ST. LOUIS, MO fax Sterling Price Camp #145, St. Louis, MO. **At the Missouri Division reunion this past March 25, 2012, The Sterling Price Camp #145 was honored to receive the Lindsey J. Whiteside Award for outstanding recruitment of new members for the second year in a row. **Price Camp has sworn in two new members since the start of the new year. **At this posting, Price Camp has 68 members and 7 life members and, most importantly, one real son. **Price Camp switched meeting places from Culpepper s to Spazio s. Culpepper s had a problem with us displaying our flags at the meetings and the singing of Dixie at the end of every meeting. Not wanting to stay where we were not wanted, we found another venue that is more receptive to our consumer dollars. **On May 12, 2012, Camp Members Gary Mayden, Bill Napier, Ray Cobb, Jim England, Jim Hubbard and Commander Tom Kennedy went down to Caledonia, Mo to celebrate Real Son Luther Lucas. Luther recently turned 100 years old March 4, We gave small trinkets as gifts, got a birthday cake with the rebel flag on it and presented Luther with a Certificate of Appreciation. The local Potosi paper was there to take pictures, and Luther was surrounded by his daughter, grandsons and numerous great grandchildren. Luther exclaimed, This is the best day of my life. Afterwards, we enjoyed BBQ in town with everyone. A good time was had by all, and Luther really felt appreciated. He is very special to our camp. **On May 28, 2012, Price Camp held our Confederate Memorial Day at Jefferson

10 Barracks National Cemetery. Our service was held shortly after JB s annual Memorial Day service. I was proud to have represented, with past Mo Division Commander Jim England, The Sons of Confederate Veterans, by placing a red poppy on the white wreath representing those who fought for their country. Afterwards, we met at the Confederate Veterans Memorial monument for our service. Volunteers arrived at 8:30 AM to place the almost 1200 Confederate flags on the graves of the Confederate Veterans buried there. The sight of 1200 Confederate Flags was breath taking. Thanks go out to the Grant Camp, Sons of Union Veterans for their support, offering several infantry and a cannon crew. Sherri Horton, President of Matthew Fontaine Maury, Chapter 1768, UDC, St. Louis, MO, addressed the crowd of about 70, and then she and Edna Dietering placed the flowers at the foot of the Monument to Confederate Veterans. Although it was extremely hot, the event was well received and many thanks go out to all the volunteers who placed and took down almost 1200 flags within the span of five hours. **Price Camp meets at Spazio s in West St. Louis County every second Tuesday of the month with the exception of July and August. We average members/guests and Compatriot John Harris, who is also a member of the St. Louis Civil War Round Table, has made sure that we always have a top notch guest speaker at every meeting. All are welcome, and if you find yourself in our neck of the woods on the second Tuesday, feel free to attend. All my best regards to my Missouri brethren, Deo Vindice! Commander Tom Kennedy

11 Anderson Camp #1743 Huntsville Members, Anderson Camp has two very important events we are a part of coming up this summer. The first is a Memorial Service at Kirksville on Saturday, August 4 th. The service will follow an afternoon re-enactment of the battle (Aug. 6 th, 1862) around 4:30 pm in the Forest/Llewellyn Cemetery just west of the town square. Battle deaths as well as 16 men executed the day after the battle are buried here. We are a part of the week-end activities and maybe we ll catch a break and the temp will be bearable. Stop and think what those soldiers went thru, should make it easy. On Saturday, September 29 th the City of Macon is sponsoring a Day of Remembrance of the Civil War. Macon was the center of yankee occupation in North Missouri during the war and they have tours planned around town to several sites that were a part of that, including Col. R. S. Bevier s home. Our friends in Farris Arty Battery will be on hand for some Arty demos and I hope some of the our friends in the 2nd Mo Infantry CSA can be on hand as well. Then we will have a Memorial Service in Woodlawn Cemetery in the south part of town at 2:50 pm., another site of mass executions of our brave men. The Macon Historical Society has placed a very nice engraved stone marker on the spot where this atrocity took place. Most of the men are buried there and afterwards the whole area became what is now Woodlawn Cemetery. Tours start at 9:30 am and we ll have a camp set up and have a pot of coffee on. These are two of the three events in the fall of 1862 that we must never let be forgotten and call attention to it every chance we get. Eastern Brigade Camps are planning something for Palmyra in October. We need you there at all three..!! Neil Block, Commander #1743

15 Elijah Gates Camp #570 Despite a full fall of activities marking the 150th anniversary of the Kingdom of Callaway, and a change in command leadership for , the Elijah Gates Camp pitched into three important living-history events in spring 2012, two of them highly successful, first-ever programs that may become annual. For the fifth year in a row, Gates Camp provided the re-enactor firepower for the annual Civil War Living History Day at the Callaway County Public Library March 10. Attendance of 90+ was the second best ever. Quartermaster John Burgher led Q & A's for youngsters and families before they visited with our compatriots and friends showing off weapons and accoutrements. The event was co-sponsored with Kingdom of Callaway Civil War Heritage and the library's children's department. At the initiative of Professor Cinnamon Brown, our Gates Camp re-enactors also took part in Westminster College's first Civil War Living History Night, April 10. The event hosted more than 125 students, faculty, staff and public. Then on May 12, Gates Camp re-enactors spent the whole day teaching about 375 children of all grades K-5 at Fulton's Bush Accelerated Elementary School. With both indoor and outdoor facilities available, the youngsters were also treated to cavalry demonstrations by our horsemen Burgher and Roy Dale Barham. We are also pleased to welcome the living-history collaboration of our "sisters" in the newly chartered Fulton-based Reuben Hollingsworth Bullard Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Three important events are on tap for summer: July 4, the historic village at "Salute to America" at the state capitol in Jefferson City; July 28, dedication of two Gray Ghosts Trail panels in Calwood for the Battle of Moore's Mill; September 11, Gray Ghosts Trail panel "Callaway County Men at War" at the Callaway County Courthouse in Fulton. The local sponsor of the Gray Ghosts Trail is Kingdom of Callaway Civil War Heritage ( in which Gates Camp compatriots Martin Northway and Don Ernst have been active since its inception. The Gates Camp Color Guard has taken part in each local dedication of panels on the Gray Ghosts Trail. One of the Moore's Mill panels is being funded by Compatriot Bill Conner and wife Genevieve on behalf of the Gates Camp and honors the heritage contributions of late leaders Historian Mark K. Douglas and Adjutant Allen L. Conner, the Conners' son. All Missouri Division compatriots are invited to the dedications.

16 The Twelfth Star Official news of the Col. John T. Coffee Camp #1934, Osceola, Missouri; Greetings from the Coffee Camp. A BLACK FLAG CAMP We have had a very good year working with the Division, other Camps, the public and within ourselves. Just to recap since the first Bear Flag Patriot in May, members of the Camp decorated our Confederate dead, soldiers and families, in at least 8 cemeteries in 6 counties. We have had the pleasure to work with Osceola Mayor Larry Hutsel and his jayhawker Resolution. This resolution grew legs and wings and spread over all this land. It even reached the shores of Europe. For those that did not know of the jayhawker, they do now. For those that do know of the jayhawker, we hope it rekindled the fire in your stomachs towards the jayhawker. Mayor Hutsel took quite a beating from this but he stood fast and without a flinch to the continued attacks. The Coffee Camp supported him in every way they could. Thank you Mayor Hutsel. The Camp had two members to cross the river and will meet their ancestors on the other side. They were Keith Ayers, his Confederate ancestor was Gen. Wade Hampton; and Roy Ayres, his closest Confederate kin was his Great Grandfather William H. Arnold. With the loss of these two compatriots, we are now at 69 members. We are working on several individual genealogies and hope they will then join. We look forward meeting with other Camps for the fall muster that Brigade Commander Montgomery has set up for everyone. Well, that s about the short of it from the Coffee Camp. If you would please take a look at the pictures of the monuments the Camp erected. There are some good stories behind these monuments. Until the next issue, be safe and never take a backseat to our Confederate Heritage. Coffee Camp contacts are: Jared Lawler, Commander and Willie Lawler Adjutant at lawler@embarqmail.com

17 The top monuments are in honour of the Missouri Brigade. They are made of Missouri Red Granite. The front has a short history of the Missouri Brigade and the reverse names the Generals made from the Missouri Brigade to serve in the CSA. The monument is located south of Osceola on Highway 82. The park where they sit is maintained by the Coffee Camp. The Osceola monument is located in the Osceola Cemetery. This has a history of the murders of Osceola citizens by US forces, part of which was Gen. J. H. Lane and his jayhwahers There is also a court yard around this monument with the names of Confederate soldiers Coffee Camp information provided by Past Commander Gary Ayres

Grave Matters Neil Block Graves Committeeman The Missouri Division has added several hundred names to the listing of our ancestors in the past year that appears on the Division web site. Thanks to Jim Bradley s fine website work, we have also listed the buried in the Higginsville Confederate Cemetery. Fallen Heroes have been added to the Honor Roll also and soon the complete database of those men who survived the hardships of war and went on to found this great organization will be part of the web site. Jim is building the site where it will be easy to update and add names.

19 Just adding your ancestors name to the data base has run its course. Ask yourself these simple questions. How many cemeteries do you drive by in a normal days travel around your home? Do you know the men or how many Confederates are buried there? Do you know the names of the men from your county that joined the MSG or CSA? I can help you answer the last two questions, which is the hardest part, just knowing who they could be If you find yourself wanting to take a walk for your health, try walking the cemeteries around you home to pay honor to the ones we have found and maybe you ll find some that we haven t been able to locate, YE. This is a life time of work in progress and several members of the Division find it very rewarding, maybe you will too! For The Cause, Neil B/G John T.

This was the first Bear Flag Patriot newsletter. On this postcard we asked you to respond by which way you wanted to receive the newsletter. Of the 400+ members we received 226 responses. One hundred thirty nine preferred to receive the newsletter electronically and 86 preferred to receive it by postal service. We received responses from about 50% of the Division. I would have thought we would receive word from more, especially when the post card was stamped. All was needed was a check mark and drop it in the mail. I am not sure if just those that responded are interested in the newsletter or those not responding just forgot. In any case we will be sending out the newsletter to those that responded. If any members hear of a member that didn t receive the newsletter and wants it, please let them know they need to contact the newsletter editor to be added on the list, either the e-version or postal. It costs a large amount for material, printing and mailing the Bear Flag. This is the largest way of communicating we have between the Camps and Division but we can t do it without everyone s participation. Gary Ayres, Editor High Speed Service If you have a slow dial up service and interested in high speed service, here is a suggestion. I was on Centurytel for many years. This was the slowest one could imagine. I was unable to do very little when it came to graphics or real in depth research. I could click on a site, go shower, get settled in for the evening and hope the sight would appear. If it did, then I started another long wait. The cost of Centurytel and a dedicated phone line for the service was terrible. The fastest I could get on was 24kb. Now that is slow and that was the fastest. Sometimes it was even slower.

21 I heard of a project for high speed internet. I checked into it and found that if you could only get slow dial up there was a plan to get high speed. I check on this and hughes.net was the only provider in my area to offer high speed. There may be more in other areas. Anyways I contacted them, they were able to offer me high speed via satellite. I had heard of satellite and how it was no good but what did I have to gain but try it. I had it installed and have had no problems. Now it isn t as fast as cable but it is pretty darn fast. You can do anything you want with it. The monthly cost of using hughes.net is less than my phone line and slow dial up. Give them a call or check you area for another system. Make sure you can only receive slow dial up when talking with other providers. Gary Ayres, Editor Pictures of the Confederate Cemetery of the old Confederate Home in Higginsville.

22 Featured Ancestor and Descendant W. B. LAWLER Southern Sympathizer By Willie and Jared Lawler William Barker Lawler, the oldest son of Evan and Sarah Lawler, was born November 4, 1821 in Chatham County, North Carolina. In 1827 the Lawlers moved to Henderson County, Tennessee and settled west of the town of Lexington. Evan and Sarah again gathered their family and moved to what was then Rives County, Missouri and on October 22, 1838 purchased a tract of land with a cabin on it near coon Creek for $ On November 21, 1843 W. B. married Amelia Ann Molder building their home on Section 23, Township 37, Range 25 in what is now St. Clair County. W. B. signed the original petition to form St. Clair County from a portion of Rives County in He was a justice of the peace for a term of years before the war and it is said that he sawed and hauled the lumber to build the first house in Osceola. After being baptized into the fellowship of the Coon Creek Baptist Church in 1843m he felt the call to preach the Gospel and was licensed to preach in March of Though he owned no slaves he was a southern man and a Democrat believing tat the states had the right to govern their own affairs. Due to his Southern sympathies, he was imprisoned for going to people s homes to sing and pray with them which he did due to the inability to continue holding regular church services during the war. Upon being released, he continued in the good work but was again brought in and asked to take the Oath of Allegiance to the Federal government, which he refused to do. Finding it necessary to leave the area to avoid being killed for his beliefs, he fled to Arkansas. Soon after, his home, along with the homes of his aged parents and two of his brothers, were put to the torch by the Union troops leaving his wife and children with only a wagon, a small mule, and a $ gold piece which Amelia was able to keep hidden from the Federal arsonists. After the war, he returned to his family and bought a farm 7 miles east of Clinton in Henry County. He pastored for many churches in the area, helped to organize and charter the Tebo Baptist Association and continued in the Lord s service for the remainder of his days. He passed into eternity on November 16, 1908 on the farm east of Clinton. Both he and Amelia are buried in the Good Hope Cemetery in Henry County, Missouri. Their children were: Daniel Evan (February 18, 1845, John Thomas (April 16, 1848), William Ashland (January 5, 1850), Sarah A. (April 19, 1851), Mary J. (July 29, 1854), James Wheeler (February 10, 1856), Alfred E. (December 2, 1857), Logan Sutherland (July 21, 1859), Theodosia Ernestine (July 4, 1861), and Robert Trolinger (July 27, 1867). W. B. Lawler is the Great-Great Grandfather of Willie Lawler and the Great-Great-Great Grandfather of Jared Lawler. Willie and Jared carry on their Grandfather s teachings and worth. They farm full time on their farm just about 7 miles east of Clinton; they are very active in the Church and Community. With all this they maintain a number of cemeteries, many of which Confederates are buried. Jared is also the commander of the Coffee Camp and Willie is the Adjutant of the Coffee Camp.
