Linda's Note: Her marriage record to Bryant Baxter is registered in Jackson Co., MO, July 30, 1828. - Cassville Democrat, Cassville, December 9, 1905 - Southwest Missouri's Oldest Woman Dead: Career Marked by Experiences with Indians, Mormons and Bushwhackers - With the death of Mrs. Sarah Baxter, commonly called "Old Aunt Sally", the oldest person in Southwest Missouri, passes away. At the time of her death, a few days ago, she was past 106 years of age, as so far as known, no woman living in this section of the state lays claim to that many years of life. Certainly none have more interesting history. Stories of hardships, her being stole by an Indian band, a thrilling escape, deeds of daring at the time of the Mormons were migrating to Utah and a daring exploit, in which she rescued her own son from Bushwhackers, during the Civil War are some of the early day experiences of this early day woman. Mrs. Baxter was born in Illinois, but her parents moved to Independence, then little more than a fort, when she was a small girl. It was there that she was taught her first lesson of Indian life. It was the experience that she loved to repeat in her old age. Her father, one day, in jest, offered to sell her, to an Indian, for a pair of moccasins, little thinking that the Indian would take him seriously. A few days later, the Indian brought the moccasins, and when refused, threw them on the floor. The next night the girl was stolen, when returning to the house from the well. Several days later she was recaptured by a posse organized by her father, after a hard fight with the Indians. A few years later, she helped make bullets to repel the attacks of the Mormons, then on their way from Illinois to Utah. During the Civil War, she had many experiences and hardships, too: the one which her friends tell was not often repeated by her. Her son was home one day, on a furlough when a party of bushwhackers attacked the house, and took the son into the yard, tying him to a tree, where they intended hanging him. Mrs. Baxter and her daughter alone, held up the entire party, and cut the ropes, which held the son, permitting him to escape and again join the army.

We have never known who the father was. Family tradition states that their father's name was Colonel Neill, or some records say O'Neill, a soldier in the Confederate army. Tradition goes on to say that Marcana ran away with him during the Civil War and at the war's end, Col. O'Neill had either been killed or had deserted her. She then came back to her brothers in Barry County, MO with two small children, but her parents and brothers would not accept her and the children because they were confederate sympathizers. The children were raised with the surname of Brock." "The Andrew Aldridge family raised Irvin Jackson. Marcana couldn't find a family to take her little girl Eliza. She sat beside the road until she saw a wagon coming toward them. Then she placed her little girl in the road. The family stopped, picked up the little girl and drove away. That was the Eli Strait family. They raised Eliza Ann and she later married one of the Strait boys." - January 2, 1913, Thursday, Cassville Republican - Mano: Mr. and Mrs. I. J.

Mano News: Lloyd Holman was shot and killed at Shell Knob Saturday night, July the 4th. He leaves three brothers and four sisters, W. H. and James of Mano, Thomas of Harrison, Ark., and Mrs. Effie Davis of Joplin, Mrs. Della Bridges and Miss Edna of Kansas City and Mrs. Jessie Minsminger of Chicago, Ill.

Chappell conducted the funeral services. The bereaved have the sympathy of the entire community. - #2. Lloyd Holman Killed: Tragedy occurred at Shell Knob Saturday Night. Joel Whisman Accused: At the picnic grounds one mile of Shell Knob, Saturday night about 8:30, Lloyd Holman of Rock Creek was shot and killed. Joel Whisman, who resides near Shell Knob, is charged of the crime. Reports are to the effect that Holman had been very disorderly during the two days picnic. On Friday he and Arthur Henbest had some words and an altercation followed. This seemed to widen the stream of enmity and he became very quarrelsome, keeping the local officers on their post of duty at all hours. It is claimed he tried to start a number of disturbances with different parties up to the time of his death. Joel Whisman, who is charge with taking his life, was a peace officer. From reliable reports it seems late Saturday evening Holman called Whisman out from a crowd and challenged him for a fight. Whisman undertook to talk Holman out of the notion and insisted that he be more orderly. Holman was not pacified and within a few moments he charged with a knife towards Wiley Whisman, a brother of Joel who was standing near. Wiley received the blow, the knife cutting his clothing on the right breast but making no wound. Holman then started for Officer Whisman at which incident a shot was fired, taking its effect near the heart. Holman died instantly. Squire Willis had an inquest and the jury reported Holman to have met death by a shot from a revolver by an unknown party. Sheriff Brixey was notified and Whisman was placed under arrest. We understand he is non-committal about the affair. He gave bond for his preliminary hearing which will be held Thursday, July 9, before Justice Willis. Whisman came to Cassville Monday evening and employed attorneys J. S. Davis and James Talbert to defend him. Holman was a young man about 25 years of age, unmarried. He was a son of the late Ap Holman and was born and reared on Rock Creek. He was a brother of Jim and Will Holman who reside in that vicinity. He is also survived by another brother, four sisters, and a number of immediate relatives. Interment of his body was made at the Mano Cemetery, Tuesday. Whisman is a man of a family and is a prominent farmer. He is about 46 years of age. He has lived in the vicinity of Shell Knob for a number of years and is known to be a quite and highly respected citizen. The families are well known and the affair is indeed a sad one. Online Obits
