Book excerpt: Excerpt from General History of Shelby County, Missouri The invasion and conquest of a wilderness; the wresting of a vast domain of hill and valley, forest and prairie, from its nomadic and unproductive savage deni zens; its transformation into an empire rich in all the elements of modern civiliza tion, - basking in the smiles of pastoral abundance, resounding with the noise of fruitful industry, busy with a mighty volume of multiform and far-reaching com merce, and bright with the luster of high mental, moral and spiritual life - the home of an enterprising, progressive, all-daring people, as they founded and have built it, is the theme of this volume. Its pages teem with biographies of many of the progressive men of Shelby county - those who laid the foundations of its greatness and those who have built and are building on the superstructure - and is adorned with portraits of numbers of them. It also gives a comprehensive survey of the numerous industries and lines of productive energy which distinguish the people of the county at the present time and those in which they were engaged in all past periods since the settlement of the region began. And so far as past history and present conditions disclose it, the work indicates the trend of the county's activities and the goal which they aim to reach. How trite, oft-told and well-worn seems the story herein briefly chronicled! And yet how full of suggestiveness, interest and incitement is it all! It opens impressively to View the mighty field for earnest endeavor and successful striving there is in the boundless realm of opportunity that is called The Great American Republic, and has been aptly pronounced The last great charity of God to the human race. It emphasizes anew the value of courage, self-reliance, industry, devotion to duty and firm and sturdy manhood and womanhood. The story might well be taken as that of Man himself in his contest with Nature on a gigantic theater of action. Poetry sparkles, Heroism glows, Comedy gambols, Tragedy darkens in its texture, and the golden thread of sentiment runs brightly through its woof. It is, in all essentials, an epitome of American history, too. Wide gulfs of time and space are compassed in its range and made as naught. Since the morning hymn and the evening anthem first rose in hope from its primeval solitudes, distant countries have become near neighbors, the Atlantic has been reduced to a narrow frith across which the Old World and the New shake hands the Pacific has been bound to it with hoops of steel, and our own East and West have been brought so close together that they look into each other's windows.

Excerpt: ...resulted in Mr. Hale's father and two of the soldiers being instantly killed, and three other soldiers being wounded, one of whom died soon afterwards. Although a Union man in principle, he had taken no part in the war, and his death, therefore, was purely accidental. His widow is still living on the farm south of Shelbyville, where the family had settled previous to her husband's death. She is now in the seventy-first year of her age. Her youngest son, Lilburn S., has charge of the place. James C. Hale was born in Sullivan county, in Eastern Tennessee, August 7, 1838, and was therefore seven years of age when his parents came to Missouri. Reared on the farm in' this county, he attended the county schools during the winter months until 1857, when he entered the Collegiate Institute of Shelbyville, where he took a course of instruction in the higher branches. He was preparing for the profession of law, and in 1859 he began teaching, which he continued for about two years, reading law at the same time under John McAfee', Esq. Indeed, he began the study of law in 1859, and in 1861 he was admitted to the bar, while Judge Gilcrist Porter was circuit judge. December 17, of the same year, Mr. Hale was married to Miss Daisy T. Smith, a daughter of Chamues Smith, Esq., of Pike county, Mo. The following summer he resided at Louisiana, but came to Shelby county and engaged in business with Judge Foster at Shelbiua. They were successfully engaged in merchandising at that place until the spring of 1865, when Mr. Hale came to Shelbyville and began the practice of law at this place. He has since been continuously occupied with his practice, and has long held the position of one of the safe and successful attorneys at the Shelby county...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Monroe and Shelby Counties, Missouri: Written and Compiled From the Most Authentic Official and Private Sources, Including a History of Their Townships, Towns and Villages May seem tame when compared with accounts of battles and sieges. Nevertheless, the faithful gathering, and the truthful narration of facts, bearing upon the early settlement of the country and the dan gers, hardships and privations, encountered by the early pioneers engaged in advancing the standard of civilization, is a work of no small magnitude, and the facts thus narrated are such as may chal lenge the admiration and arouse the sympathy of the reader, albeit, they have nothing to do with the feats of arms. The History of Monroe and Shelby counties has been written, in many respects, under trying circumstances. There has been no lack of material, but the work of collecting and compiling the same into one homogeneous record has been attended with many obstacles and perplexities, and in presenting this history to the citizens of these counties, we do so with the full knowledge that errors will be found within its pages. If this were not so it would be different from any work yet completed by human hands, absolute perfection never having been attained either in the historical or any other field of earthly labor. The facts and incidents herein treated have been gleaned from the memories of old settlers, from the files of old newspapers, from the records of early courts, and from a host of public and private citizens, and from all other sources whence there could be derived any thing that would.
