REDWINE, Samuel L. 1840 Apr. 1921 Research Note: He is buried near the Callaway family and R. M. Callaway purchased the cemetery lot. He was buried April 15, 1921 and is listed as Samuel L. Redwine on the log book records. - Goodspeed's 1888 History of Barry Co., MO - Samuel L. Redwine, law, real estate and insurance agent and notary public of Monett, MO, is a native of Lee Co., VA, and is a son of Louis and Sarah (Martin) Redwine. Louis Redwine, who was of Irish descent, was a native of NC and farmer by occupation. In 1855 he removed to Fulton Co., AR, where he died in 1875, at the age of 76 years. He served as judge of Fulton Co. for a number of years. His wife was of German descent, and was born in Russell Co., VA. She died in 1846. They were the parents of nine children, of whom Samuel L. is the youngest. He was educated in his native county, and at the age of 19 began teaching school. In 1857 he went to Campbell Co., TN, and resumed teaching. In 1861 he was united in marriage with Keziah Hancock, a native of TN born in 1845. She died in 1875, leaving four children: Cambridge C., Mollie, William H. and Minnie. The year after his marriage, Mr. Redwine removed to Owen Co., IN, in which county and Madison County he taught five terms of school. He also served as mayor of Gasport, IN, and as justice of the peace for four years; in 1871 he went to Montgomery Co., KS, and conducted the first school taught in Elk City. He afterward removed to Wilson Co. and resumed teaching. In December, 1875, he married Sarah Hodges, nee Rich, and in the fall of 1879 came with his family to Barry Co., MO, settling at Corsicana. The following year he purchased a farm of eighty acres, which he cultivated for three years, but in 1883 he sold out and removed to Purdy, which was soon after organized as a city, and Mr. Redwine was elected chairman of the board of trustees, which position he held four years, also serving as ex-mayor. He also served as secretary of the board of education for three years. For 18 months he was railway and express agent. In June, 1887, he removed to Monett and established his present law, real estate and insurance office. He was appointed notary public in 1881, and was re-appointed for a term of four years in 1885. Upon locating in Monett, Mr. Redwine and son, Cambridge C., formed a partnership, and they have since been doing a good business. Mr. Redwine is a Christian gentleman who enjoys the reputation of an exemplary citizen and a capable and reliable counselor at law. He is very conservative in his political opinions, and may be classed as an independent. By his second marriage he has four children: Annie, Samuel L. Jr., Mossie and Jewel. All are members of the Christian Church. Mr. Redwine is a member of the I.O.O.F. - Samuel and Sarah must have been divorced according to the census. - 1900 Census, Monett, Barry Co., MO - Sarah Redwine, head, born Oct. 1855 KY, age 44, widowed, with children Mossie, dau., born Dec. 1883 MO; Jewel, son, born Apr. 1896 MO, age 13; and Olive, dau. born Nov. 1889 MO, age 10. - Sarah is buried at Oakdale Cemetery as "Mother" Redwine, no dates, next to daughter Mossie Redwine. - Another Photo Photo

She was a Sunday School teacher who visualized Bible lessons with flannelgraph. As a school teacher's assistant she showed children how to excel academically. By the time she was 50, Phyllis started working home-based businesses, and succeeded in that as well. Then at 60, after 39 years of marriage she lost the love of her life. For the last 22 years, she has battled cancer, diabetes, and heart problems to stay with us.

RITCHEY, 63, 8444 Bermuda St., who disappeared Sunday while on a deer hunting trip near Barrett Reservoir, was found yesterday afternoon by five CCC men and J. L. BOATWRIGHT, foreman of the CCC camp. Apparently the victim of heart disease, Ritchey's body was found in a rocky area about 300 feet above the level of the lake."
