Inscription: "MISSOURI PVT CO H REGT CAVALRY CIVIL WAR" - Research Note: Also listed in Clio Cemetery. There is no one buried at Clio where his stone is. He is probably buried in Corsicana Cemetery with his wife Nancy Matilda Fly. - Ted Roller's comments: I had told Jack Fly that the stone did not have a body under it using dousing rods. We followed up. Loren Roden knew that there were some CW soldiers found at Clio and he ordered a stone near Old Bob Town where James was known to live last with his wife. He had it placed where it stands as is, as a memory to James. I think this is just as good a placement as Corsicana as I have no proof otherwise. Jack Fly and Nancy are close friends and may have started the story further. The James Roden lived at Bethel area also and could be buried there? Someone may have proof of a burial at Corsicana?? He lived near Corsicana after the CW on 40 acres. I have the abstract. - Cassville Republican, May 11, 1899 - James Roden died at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Samuel Bailie, in Mountain township. Born in Giles Co., Tennessee, he came to Barry County in the 1840's. He married three times. His first wife was a sister of Asher Fly of Jenkins, by whom he had five children. His second wife died on the Gasconade shortly after giving birth to twins. The babies were given to a neighbor woman and Mr. Roden went to war. A few years ago he looked up his twins. One had died and the other was doing well. His third wife was Miss Nancy Salmon, sister of Mrs. Samuel Bailie. Online Obit

SWINDLE, James Oct. 30, 1822
Linden,
Perry Co., TN
Aug. 2, 1909
Corsicana,
Barry Co., MO
Research Note: Cassville Republican, August 12, 1909 - James Swindle, one of Barry County's oldest and most highly respected citizens, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. O. S. Overton at Corsicana, Monday, August 2, at the advanced age of 86 years, 9 months and two days. Funeral services were held Tuesday and the remains laid to rest in the cemetery at Corsicana near where he had lived for more than half a century. James Swindle was born at Linden, Perry County, Tenn., August 30, 1822. He came to Missouri in 1851 and located at what is now Rocky Comfort where for two years he worked as a blacksmith. In 1853 he moved to Pogues Creek and in the same year was married to Miss Eliza Fly. To them were born three sons, John, Lafayette and George, and two daughters, Martha J. Parks of Washington and Eliza A. Overton, wife of Robert Overton of Corsicana. Mrs. Swindle died in 1863. In 1865 he married Mrs. Elizabeth J. Davidson of Lawrence County. To this union were born one son, J. A., and two daughters, Nancy A., wife of Dr. O. S. Overton, and Mary F., wife of J. K. Holmes of Rocky Comfort. Mr. Swindle's second wife died February 28, 1904, since which time he has made his home with his children, living most of the time at Corsicana with his daughter, Mrs. O. S. Overton. Always having been actively engaged at some vocation, he could not be contented, even in his last days, to be without something to do and had for some time conducted a small store at Corsicana. James Swindle was a man of Christian character, a man of high ideals and his worth and the influence of his life is evinced by the noble family he reared to be our country's most useful citizens. To such men as he, devoted to the right, willing to brave the hardships of the pioneer and build a home in the wilderness, we owe the greatest credit for not only the material advancement of our county but for its general welfare. - Another Photo Online Obit
