| HIGGS, Mary Danforth (WILLIAMS) | June 24, 1849 Pierce City, Lawrence Co., MO |
Dec. 29, 1903 Newton Co., MO |
SSW: Thomas McDuffa - Research Note: She was the daughter of James Madison and Artelia (Barker) Williams, and was the fifth of 11 children. Her parents moved to Missouri from Maury County, Tennessee, about 1839, and settled on a farm about one mile east of Pierce City. They were wealthy, and in the fall of 1870, owned land worth $22,000 with personal assets valued at $3,000. Her father, James, was well respected and was elected to serve as Judge of Lawrence County. Mary became a Christian just after the close of the Civil War and joined the Friendship Baptist church, near Pierce City. Mary married Thomas McDuffa Higgs in Mt. Vernon, Lawrence Co, MO on November 10, 1868. They had a farm in Newton County near Pioneer, which was about one-half mile inside the Barry County line. Mary gave birth to Mary "Neve" Geneva, Ida Elizabeth, Laura Alphonsine "Alpha," and Lottie America. Thomas died on December 21, 1903. This may have influenced Mary's death eight days later. Her brother-in-law, Rev. Thomas Largen provided a Birdseye view into her life. He wrote: "Died at her home December 29th, 1903, Mrs. Mary D. Higgs, wife of the late T. M. Higgs. She was sick but a few days and her death was very unexpected. She was not very strong at any time and the shock that had come to her in the death of her husband was too severe and made her an easy victim to pneumonia from which she died. Her age at death was 54 years, 6 months, 5 days. Her husband, T. M. Higgs, and whose obituary appears herewith, had died just one week and one day before. Thus was a home entirely broken up. She was a daughter of the deceased Judge J. M. Williams, a prominent citizen who once lived near Pierce City, Mo., where Mrs. Higgs was born. She was married to T. M. Higgs Nov. 10, 1868; to this union four children were born, mention of which is made in the obituary of her husband. She became a Christian while young and joined the old Friendship (now Pierce City) Baptist church and always lived a consistent Christian life. When the Mt. Olive church was organized in the year 1885 she was one of the first members and as it was my privilege to become their first pastor, and was their pastor for many years, I found her a great help and a woman of great influence. Doubtless her reward will be great in eternity. She leaves to mourn her loss beside her children and a host of friends, three brothers, J. M., George B. and John H. Williams, six sisters, Mrs. Martha and Margaret Higgs, Mrs. Gillie Long, Mrs. Amanda Largen, Mrs. Fanny Seamster, Mrs. Clara Hurset. Her funeral was preached in the Mt. Olive church house by Eld. J. T. Brattin to a large congregation. Afterward her body was laid in the cemetery near by, beside the body of her husband, and the spirit has gone to dwell in the home of the saints, where she will await the home coming of her friends and loved ones. May God bless all. T. L. Largen" - The Newtonia News (Newton Co, MO) January 7, 1904 - "AT REST - Sister Mary Danforth Higgs was born June 24th, 1849, in Lawrence county, MO. She was the daughter of the Honorable James Williams, a well known citizen and Judge of Lawrence county, who raised a large and respectable family and died some years ago. She professed faith in Christ at the Ross school house, six miles southwest of Pierce City, in a meeting conducted by Eld. Howell Smith, just after the war and united with the Friendship Baptist church which is now known as the First Baptist church of Pierce City. She was married to Thomas M. Higgs. To this union were born four girls, one died in infancy, the other three are still living. Ida and Lottie are the wives of William and Robert Carpenter. Alpha is the wife of Thomas McMillen. They all have good companions and good homes and are consistent members of the Mt. Olive Baptist church. Sister Higgs was a faithful, devoted member of the Mt. Olive church at the time of her death, which took place at her home near Pioneer, Dec. the 29th, 1903, at 6 A. M., surrounded by her children, grandchildren and other relatives and friends. She had only been sick about three days with pneumonia fever. Everything that living hands could do was done, but to no avail. Her devoted husband the lamented T. M. Higgs, preceded her to the home above by just eight days. They were greatly attached to each other and no doubt her great sorrow aided the favor in taking this noble woman from a world of sorrow to a home of bliss. She was an affectionate and tender mother, a doting grandmother and a faithful and trusting companion and a loving mother. She leaves three children, eight grandchildren, three brothers, six sisters and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Thus a noble woman has gone from labor to reward and a place in the church is left vacant and a home has been broken up. The funeral was conducted by the writer in the Mt. Olive church on Dec. the 30th, 1903, at 11 A. M., in the presence of a very large congregation of sorrowing relatives and friends, much too large to get into the church, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Mt. Olive cemetery by the side of her husband to await the resurrection trumpet. May the tender mercy of the God she loved attend the pathway of her children and other loved ones." | Obit Virginia Brown Photo Ted Roller Donna Cooper |

Dec. 21, 1903 Newton Co., MO |
SSW: Mary D. - Research Note: Son of John Knelm Higgs and Martha Harrison. - Thomas was the 11th of the 12 children of John K. and Martha (Harrison) Higgs. When he was 11 years old the family moved from NC to Barry Co, MO. His parents were fairly wealthy. At the beginning of the Civil War his father owned 14 slaves valued at $5000. He was living with his family in Barry County when he enlisted in the Confederacy. He served in the 8th Missouri Infantry Regiment, commanded by Colonel Charles S. Mitchell and attained the rank of 1st Sergeant. After the war, he took up farming and stock raising, as well as merchandising. In 1870, he professed faith in Christ and was "born again," as he expressed it. In 1885, Mary's brother-in-law, Rev. Thomas Largen, helped organize the Mt. Olive church, near Pioneer. He served as its first pastor, and Mary and Thomas were among the first members of the church. Thomas served as a deacon. Thomas married Mary Danforth Williams in Mt. Vernon, Lawrence Co, MO on November 10, 1868. Their children were: Mary "Neve" Geneva, Ida Elizabeth, Laura Alphonsine "Alpha," and Lottie America. Thomas died Dec. 21, 1903. His obituary, written by Rev. Thomas Largen, portrays some events in his life: The Newtonia News, January 7, 1904 - "Died at his home one and a half miles northwest of Pioneer, Mo., Dec. 21st, 1903, Mr. T. M. Higgs, age 62 years, 2 months, 5 days. He was a son of John Higgs one of the early settlers of Mo. He was born in North Carolina, September 16, 1841. He came with his parents to Mo in the early days of his life and has lived in this state ever since. He was a man of fine intelligence and possessed a strong will and always had the courage of his convictions. He was enterprising and far seeing always being interested in everything that was for the welfare of the government, the state, and county in which he lived. His judgment was sought on many of the political issues of the day, and the high confidence and esteem may be seen in the fact he was several times solicited by the prominent men of his party to make the race for representative of Newton county. But he preferred the quiet home life with his family rather than the allurements of the legislative halls. He was greatly devoted to his family and labored to give them a good living and like most other things to which he turned his attention he succeeded and left them plenty of this world's goods. He was converted or "Born again" as he expressed it Sept. 30, 1870, joining the New Hope Baptist church and became at once a zealous worker for his Lord and his church. To him, perhaps belongs the honor of naming our District Association. He suggesting the name "Shoal Creek" and was one of the number who composed the organization and was ever afterwards closely connected with her interests. He, in the year 1886, became a member of Mt. Olive Baptist church which had recently been organized. He was received as a deacon and filled the place with honor and great profit to the church till God took him. It was my privilege to be his pastor for about eleven years and I found him faithful in his work. He will be greatly missed, but we think his life will be an inspiration to many. His funeral was preached by the writer in the Mt. Olive church house where a large congregation had assembled to pay a last tribute of respect to him before the body was consigned to the tomb. The subject preached from was "Man goeth to his long Home," with the emphasis placed on the home of the saints, after which the body was laid to rest in the cemetery near the church. He left to mourn his loss a loving wife, three daughters, viz: Mrs. Ida Carpenter, Mrs. Lottie Carpenter, Mrs. Alpha McMillen and several grandchildren, also brothers and one sister and a number of relatives and friends. One little girl of his, Neve, had many years before, gone to the glory world and no doubt waited the coming of Papa. May God bless all the bereaved. T. L. Largen" - His beloved wife died eight days later. | Obit Virginia Brown Photo Ted Roller Donna Cooper |

Research Note: He was single and a retired miller. Son of John B. Hutchens born NC and Elizabeth Tulbert born NC. John Hutchens of Pioneer, MO was the informant on the death certificate. - Wheaton Journal, May 9, 1929 - Isaac Chester Hutchens was born March 19, 1858 near the little Quaker village of New Providence in Hardin County, Iowa and died at his home in Pioneer May 1, 1929 very suddenly of heart failure at the age of 71 years, 1 month and 14 days. When about eight years of age he moved with his parents from Iowa to Kansas and a little later to Missouri where he spent the remainder of his life. He had a birth right membership in the Society of Friends, commonly known as "Quakers" and lived all his life a firm believer in that faith. Having never been married he and his sister, Effie, had kept house together ever since their aged mother died in 1910. He had always been rather frail and weakly of body, yet his mind was active and strong to the last when he suddenly slid from his chair by the stove and lay on the floor dead. He leaves to mourn his departure one brother, J. F. Hutchens of Pioneer, two sisters, Mrs. J. M. Black of Cassville, Mo., and Miss Effie Hutchens of Pioneer, and a large number of relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon at the Mt. Olive church by Rev. E. W. Love of Joplin and burial made in the cemetery at that place under the direction of J. H. White Undertaking. - Goodspeed's History: Wilson, Isaac, and John Hutchens, comprising from the firm of Hutchens Brothers, proprietors of the McDowell Roller Mills, were born in IA, and are the sons of John B. and Elizabeth Hutchens born in NC in 1825 and was there married to Elizabeth Tulburt, also a native of the "Old North State" born in 1827. To them were born nine children: William L., Charles E., Rhoda A., Wilson, Mary J., Isaac C., Sarah E., John F., and Lucy E. The parents removed from their native sate to Hardin Co., IA, where they lived for many years. John G. Hutchens was a farmer and miller. He followed the latter occupation in connection with the former until he came to MO, after which he devoted his attention to farming four years, or during his residence in Jasper Co. He then came to Barry Co. where he was engaged in milling until his death in 1878. The Hutchens Brothers inheriting the propensity of their father for milling have chosen that as an occupation. The eldest son first owned a saw mill, which he managed for some time. The brothers later purchased their present grist mill. For three years they operated it on the old buhr system, during which time the roller process was being introduced into the country. Always energetic and determined to keep abreast with the times, they erected a new mill in 1886, and put in the full roller process. Since that time they have been doing a thriving business, as the leading mill in this portion of Barry Co., and is one of the best in SW Missouri. The young proprietors are single, and are energetic and enterprising business men. They own a general merchandise building which they usually rent. They also saw lumber, which they sell at the various business points in the section. - John B.

| HUTCHENS, John Franklin | 1862 | 1942 | SSW: Medie F. - Research Note: Son of John B. Hutchens born OH and Elizabeth Tulbert born NC. - Article from Wheaton Journal clipping collection of Mary Borushaski. - Thursday, August 9, 1945 - Landmark Destroyed by Fire Tuesday - The Pioneer mill, located five miles north of Wheaton on the banks of Shoal Creek, was completed destroyed by fire, which stated about five o'clock Tuesday morning of this week. When residents of Pioneer reached the mill smoke was pouring from the room which housed an electric generator, and it is presumed that a short circuit in the electrical equipment started the fire. There was no chance to save the building from the flames. Although the mill had not been operating for more than a year the water powered electric power plant was in operation. The plant furnished lights for the residents of Pioneer and was being sold to the New-Mac Cooperative when the plant was destroyed. Some small items had been sold out of the mill, but most of the flour and feed manufacturing machinery used by the milling company was destroyed by the fire. Only a small amount of insurance was carried on the building and equipment. The mill belonged to the heirs of the late J. F. Hutchens, and had been in the Hutchens family for about 54 years. The mill, which was one of the land marks of the Ozarks, was built in the spring and summer of 1868 by Tom Morton, who was noted for building dams and water mills throughout the Ozarks. Part of the original building was still standing prior to the fire. However, the building had been enlarged and re-built. It was three stories high and contained a basement. J. F. Hutchens, who passed away March 13, 1942, came to Pioneer in 1889 and the mill has been owned and operated continuously by his family since that time until the machinery was seriously damaged by floods of recent years. In April 1941 flood waters washed away part of the buildings near the main building. The mill was again put into operation, after a lot of hard labor, and another flood in May 1943, damaged the mill and machinery even more than the 1941 flood. After the death of Mr. Hutchens, his son, George, operated the mill, but except for the light plant, the big turbines which furnished power to grind meal, feed and flour for seventy-seven years, have been idle. In early years people came for miles around to Pioneer to get a "batch" of white corn made into meal of a sack of soft wheat made into flour. Some even had to wait a day or two to wait their turn. These scenes will never again be re-enacted at the Pioneer Mill. Only the dam remains intact, but the old mill is gone forever. - Photo of Children - Henry, Effie, George and Esther | Mother's Obit News Item Phyllis Long Photo Ted Roller Donna Cooper |

He had been living with his esteemed brother Louis Lehr an old time and honorable citizen of that section, and his lifeless body was found in a wooded section about one mile from the home of his brother, Louis, near Frank Belka home. An inquest was held Monday evening and it was determined that his death was caused by heart trouble. He was possibly been dead three or four hours when found. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Lehr was a widower and leaves one son. He was about 65 years old and ranks among the county's best citizenship. He had lived in that part of the county and had an extensive acquaintance. The following information regarding Mr. Lehr's sudden death is taken from Tuesday’s edition of the Monett Times. Henry Lehr, who lived three miles west of Bricefield, was found dead on the edge of Shoal creek, Monday evening. Although Mr. Lehr had been sick for some time, the circumstances of his death were such that Floyd Callaway, coroner, called an inquest at Pioneer for 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Meantime a post mortem had been held and the stomach sent to a laboratory for a test. Lehr had been having severe cramps and had been going to a physician, who is said to have warned him that his condition was serious. When he continued to have these pains, Monday, he is said to have bought some whiskey and to have told his family he was doing down by Shoal creek to lie down and see if he wouldn't feel better. When he did not return by supper time a search was started and he was found dead. There was no indication of violence of any kind. Some neighbors, to whom Lehr had given some of his whiskey, seemed none the worse for it, but the whiskey left in the bottle is being sent to laboratory for a test. A note was found that might be interpreted as indicating Lehr's intention to commit suicide, but not much weight is put on that. Lehr is survived by one daughter, Mrs. N. L. Kromelch, at Picher, Ok. For the past three years he had his home near Bricefield with his niece, Mrs. Frank Belka.
