Research Note: Wife was Nancy Ann. Son of Benjamin Franklin Hailey and Harriett Ophelia (Gates) (Hailey) Hubbert. - Goodspeed's 1888 History of Barry Co., MO - Newton L. Hailey, sheriff of Barry County, Mo., was born in Bedford County, Tenn., in 1848, and is a son of Benjamin F. and Ophelia (Gates) Hailey. The father was of English descent, and was born in Bedford County, Tenn. He was a farmer, and resided in his native State until 1850, when he removed to Texas Five years later he proceeded to Carroll County, Ark., and engaged in blacksmithing and the hotel business, continuing until his death, in 1864. His wife is of Scotch descent and was born in Tennessee. They became the parents of five children, viz.: Newton L., Allen F., William J. (editor of the Berryville Progress, of Berryville, Ark.), Alphonso C. (postmaster of Berryville, Ark.) and Jefferson D. P. (who is a partner of his brother, William J., in the newspaper office). Newton L. secured a good education in Clark's Academy, of Berryville, Ark. In 1866 he was united in marriage with Nancy A. McKinney, a daughter of William McKinney, and a native of Barry County, Mo. Their union has been blessed by the birth of six children, viz.: William W., Frank H., Flossa O., Zua M., Sterling N. and Charles P. Two years after his marriage Mr. Hailey removed his family to Barry County, locating in Mountain Township, ten miles east of the county seat. Here he purchased a farm, and now owns 320 acres. Politically, his views accord with those of the Democratic party. In 1878 he was favored with the office of county assessor, to which position he was re- elected in 1880. In 1886 he was elected to his present position of sheriff. Mr. Hailey is an influential and highly esteemed citizen, and has made an efficient public officer. He is a Mason, and both he and wife are zealous members of the Christian Church. Mr. Hailey's mother is still living. After the death of her first husband she married William Hubbard/Hubbert, who for many years was clerk of the Barry County Court. In 1870 Mr. Hailey was appointed postmaster at Hill City, in this county, and served until 1882, when the office was discontinued, and then an office was established at Mr. Halley's residence, which post-office assumed his name, and is known by the name of Hailey, Mo., today. - 1895 Bio in Newspaper at ancestry.com - On the north side of the public square is the drug business of N. L. Hailey, headquarters for strictly pure drugs, from which prescriptions are carefully compounded at any hour, patent medicines of the standard sorts, stationery, perfumes that are the delight of the users, and toilet articles in variety. Lead, oil and prepared paints constitute an important feature of the business and tobacco and cigars regale the consumers of the weed. Doing a liberal business, Mr. Hailey extends every accommodation possible to his customers and gives one hundred cents worth for each dollar. In the development of Barry county, Mr. Hailey has taken an active part and to him are due some notable reforms, especially that of the taxation of land belonging to non residents. From 1878 to 1882 he was county assessor, and observing that even the poorest land secured from the government was assessed at $1.25 an acre, while some excellent land belonging to the Railway Company was assessed at but fifty cents an acre, and believing this discrimination unjust, he raised the assessment of the latter to a uniform rate of $1.25 per acre. This brought to the several school districts in which the land lay a great deal of money and enabled them to conduct better and longer schools each year and erect better school buildings. Mr. Hailey is a native of Bedford Co., TN, and after moving to AR attended Clark's Academy at Berryville. He came to this county in 1866, settling at the confluence of the two branches of Rock House, where he still has a good farm of nearly 400 acres and mining interests. Two years before moving here he married Nancy A. McKinney, a member of one of our oldest families. At that time the hills were not settled at all and were full of deer and bears. He killed a large bear on Rock Creek not far from where Elder Smallwood now lives. In those days rail-splitting's were more frequent than now and he put in a good portion of the first few weeks in attending sixteen of such festivities, subsisting on the diet of corn bread and molasses. Though but a boy, in 1863 he enlisted under Price in the Confederate army and was with him during his last raid in MO. He served about a year. His father, Benjamin F. Hailey, was a captain in the Confederate army, and his grandfather was killed at Berryville, AR, by Thomas Crissup's company of MO militia. The post office at Hailey was established at his house and named in his honor. It was the successor of Hill City, which died with the excitement over mineral found near there. He was first appointed postmaster of Hill City under Grant in 1870, and remained in charge of the office until 1893, being continuously the postmaster 23 years, a record probably not equaled by another in the county. In 1886 Mr. Hailey was elected sheriff of Barry Co. and re-elected in 1888. It was during his first administration (Apr. 15, 1887) that he executed the only criminal ever legally hung in the county -- Edward Clum. It was in 1888, while sheriff, that he engaged in the drug business, which he has prosecuted since. In the fire he lost the most of his stock of drugs and three buildings which were in the burned district. Though incurring this heavy loss, which was unprotected by insurance, he joined with the town in its upbuilding by first putting up one of the iron buildings on East Main street, and later, upon the failure of the Citizens Bank, completed the brick block occupied by himself on North street and by the post offices on Main street. - May 18, 1911, Thursday, Cassville Republican - Mr. and Mrs. N.

In sickness he was kind and clever. He had a good heart that beat responsive to the welfare of his neighbors. He loved his family and always was delighted to learn the success of his sons, daughters and grandchildren.

He enjoyed the confidence of all his acquaintances, as being a man of the highest integrity and was strictly honest. Newton Lafayette Hailey was born in Bedford County, Tenn., Sept. 11, 1843, and was a son of late Benjamin F. and Mrs. Ophelia (Gates) Hailey. The parents moved to Texas in 1850. In 1855, they moved to Berryville, Carroll County, Ark., where Newton L. grew to manhood. When the Civil War came on, he joined the Southern Army when 16 years of age and came out without a scratch.

He moved from Berryville, Ark., to Barry county and located near his father-in-law, Wm. McKinney where Hailey p. o., is now located, in 1872 where he successfully farmed and raised stock. In 1878, he was nominated by the democrats of Barry County for county assessor and was selected. He was re-nominated in 1880. In 1886 his party nominated him for sheriff and he was elected and reelected in 1888, and in his official life, made an efficient officer. He was Postmaster at Hailey post office for twelve years.

SSW: Carol C. - Research Note: Daughter of Benton J and Flossie Mae (Gaylor) Starkey. Affectionately given the nickname Doogie by her father, she was a lifelong resident of Cassville. On Nov. 5, 1952, she married Carol C. Harvey from Butterfield in Berryville, AR. While caring for her late father together in the home he built, their lives were filled with the joy of raising five children. Doogie worked for years at the Jumping Jack Shoe factories in Monett and Cassville, until their closure in 1980; then for Justin Boot when they opened their Cassville factory in 1981, until her retirement in the mid 1990's. As a member of Emmanuel Baptist in Cassville, she was baptized alongside Carol on Oct. 28, 1990. Her favorite pastime was sitting on the porch, visiting with family and friends. She enjoyed being outdoors but when the weather didn't allow it, she was readily found either watching Dr. Stanley's sermons on TV, reading, or doing word searches. After Carol's untimely passing in 1999, she reconnected with her childhood friend Bill Houston, also of Cassville. They enjoyed each other's company and were always present for their families' milestones and gatherings until his passing in 2011. Doogie is preceded in death by her parents; husband Carol of 46 years; daughter Paula (Harvey) Stringer; son-in-law Ronny Stringer; all twelve of her siblings; mother-in-law Eva (Mullins) Harvey; father-in-law Pharis Harvey; seven brothers-in-law; and friend Bill Houston. She is survived by many caring people who will always cherish the memories and the time she was with us, especially her children and bonus children. Doogie will always hold a special place in the hearts of her grandchildren. Undoubtedly, her favorite role in life was being grandma to 13. In addition, she had 23 great-grandchildren; nine great-great grandchildren; and Bill's 17 grandchildren, whom she loved as her own. She will also be sorely missed by countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Stone photo without death date on Findagrave.Another Photo | Fohn Funeral Home L.

H. Baird, in the south part of town. The double crime was committed shortly after the closing of the moving picture show at which entertainment both attended separately. She left the show alone and he followed overtaking her, it is thought, about where the incident occurred. Particulars concerning the immediate causes which led to the tragedy cannot be had as but the two were present and neither can tell the tale. However, it is known that trouble between them dates back several months. Some days ago a difficulty arose and she left his home and began to make her home in the J. C. Barcus property to which place she was going when the sad affair occurred. Before the horrible tragedy became known to but few, an inquest under the auspices of Justice of the Peace H. P. Sons, had been held. The following persons composed the jury that Arthur Hawk and his wife, Alta Hawk, had come to their deaths from three pistol shots fired by himself: Charles Ray, David Dingler, H. S. Montgomery, Carey Henry, W. M. Irwin and F. A. Meador. Witnesses, A. L. Brown, T. S. Frost, John Ray and Dr. D. L. Mitchell, gave testimony upon which the above verdict was reached by the jury. Mr. Brown testified that while he and Mrs. Brown were passing his father's home on Gravel Street in going home from the picture show he heard three pistol shots, the first two in immediate succession and third one about a minute and a half later. John Ray stated that while he and his wife were at that time near Bon Manley's residence he heard three shots and they were discharged at the intervals given by Mr. Brown. These parties in reaching the T. S. Frost home learned from Mr. Frost that he heard at the time of the shooting some say, "Oh, My God". Mr. Frost and Mr. Brown decided to go in the direction where the shots were fired and make and investigation. In leaving Mr. Frost's home they went east to the street on which the Presbyterian Church is located and then went north to where the back street between the residence of J. J. Edens and J. H. Baird, leads west to Gravel street, and in going about twenty steps on the street they found their lifeless bodies laying beside the road. Mr. Turner, who lives near the scene, testified that he heard from his home three shots at about the same intervals as stated by the other witnesses but heard no talking. Dr. D. L. Mitchell after examining the bodies testified that the death of Alta Hawk was due to a pistol shot, the bullet having entered at the base of the brain on the right side of her head and ranged to the back part of the left eye. It was later learned that she received a bullet wound in her body. He also found that the death of Arthur Hawk was caused by a pistol shot, the bullet taking effect in his mouth and that both deaths came by his volition. The revolver was a 38 caliber and was found grasped in his right hand. Upon examination there was found one snapped shell. Its position in the magazine of the gun showed. It was the first one snapped but failed to fire, and three freshly emptied shells. This evidence is in favor of the three shots as heard by the witnesses. Her body was found lying face upward.

K. Porter, a well known and highly respected divine of the Christian Church of near this city, for better or for worse. Those fifty years have come and gone, but with them anxieties and responsibilities came; the raising of a family was assumed, the greatest in this life, yet they have succeeded well, never having had a death in a family of ten children. All have grown to man and womanhood and all but two reside in this vicinity. William Calhoun Hawk was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hawk. John Hawk was a native of Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Hawk of Tennessee, and they moved to Barry County, MO, in 1840 and lived two years at Washburn and afterwards moved to Cassville, and with them came their sons, Jacob W., of near this city, William C., of this city, and Gee Hawk now deceased. William C. Hawk was born in Warren County, Tenn., Oct. 6, 1832 and lived in McMinnville, Tenn., when his mother died. In his younger days, Mr. Hawk was an overland stage driver, and drove from Cassville, MO, to Fayetteville, Ark., and from Cassville to James McCallah's, the old state stand, 23 miles southwest of Springfield. In 1853, he with the Edmondson's, Dr. Adams and others from Arkansas started to California, and went the southern route up the Arkansas River valley by the way of Salt Lake City, where they spent the winter. In the spring of 1854, they started for the Golden State. They had several hundred head of cattle, and before starting they divided up the cattle, some going one route, and the others another. On arriving in California, Mr. Hawk stopped at the mines near Foreman's Ranch, where he remained for a time, and then went to Cache Creek county where he remained until 1855, when he returned to Cassville, where he has since resided. During the Civil War he served in Co. G. 15th MO Reg. of Cavalry. He established the first blacksmith shop in Cassville, after the war, and followed that occupation for many years, until age crept upon him and forced him to quit. He now lives at his home in this city, taking life quietly and easy, ever ready to play a practical joke on some friend, or spin a good yarn, backed up by a good sized pipe, of hill side navy. Mrs. Roby Elizabeth (Weekly) Hawk was an orphan girl, both her parents having lived and died in St. Louis, leaving her at a tender age, to care for herself. She was born in the city of St. Louis, on July 4, 1843 and when 10 years old "Buck" Woods, now deceased, a prominent merchant of this city at that day and time, was in St. Louis, and induced her come home with him, which she did, and a few years later was married to Mr. Hawk. She is of German parentage and remembers to have crossed the ocean twice while a child. Mrs. Hawk established the first exclusive millinery store in Barry County, and for about thirty years, she has continued in this line of business, increasing her business from year to year, until she sells her goods to patrons far and near. She has a wonderful supply of energy, which she applies to her business, that has caused her to make a success of it. This family can be thankful for one thing, if nothing more, and that is, they have never lost a single child. Their children are: B. J. Hawk and family, have 6 children living and one dead. One daughter married, Mrs. Urt Hutchens and they have two children, making Byron grandfather twice. Mrs. Dora Talbert and two daughters. William Sterling Hawk has three daughters. Carlee Hawk is single, but would like to be married. Charles Gee Hawk of near town, has one daughter. Mrs. Buna Scott of Alluwee, I. T., has two sons and two daughters. Robert Pharis Hawk of Monett has one son living and one son and daughter dead. Mrs. Mae Dow and family of Pierce city, has one daughter. Mrs. Grace Thompson of this city. Cleo Hawk, the baby of the family, is now of marriageable age, and acts sometimes just like he would marry - if there was he had a chance. At 12 pm, dinner was announced and before entering the dinning room a small bell, suspended by yellow ribbon - commemorative of the occasion was presented to each guest. At the table a vacant chair was left between Mr. and Mrs. Hawk, but the vacancy was soon filled by Love as the Rev. E. W. Love, after a few appropriate remarks and prayer, filled up the vacancy, and the business of this very pleasant occasion as well attended to, as there was a bountiful supply of good things to eat. Those present were: J. W. Hawk, a brother and daughter, Miss Nora of near this city. Drury Wilkerson and wife of Monett, M. Horine and wife, M. C. Messer, wife and sister, Miss Tiny Arch Hessee and wife, Dr. Thiele and wife, Rev. E. W. Love and wife, P. E. Horine and wife, Dr. Mitchell and family, Mrs. Jas. Henley, and Chas. Ray, wife and daughter, Miss Bessie, of this city, and W. J. Mills, Frisco Ticket Agent of Monett. All the children of Mr. and Mrs. Hawk were present, excepting Mrs. Dora Talbert and daughters who are visiting relatives in Texas, having arranged for the trip, before arrangements had been made for the Golden Wedding Anniversary. The occasion will long be remembered by all present and all departed hoping that Mr. and Mrs. Hawk might live to celebrate such another occasion. - Cassville Republican, Sept. 4, 1919 - Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scott who have been visiting Mrs. Scott's mother, Mrs. Roby Hawk, and other relatives here have returned to their home near Alluwe, Okla. - Cassville Democrat, June 19, 1920 - Mrs. Roby Hawk and little granddaughter, Marjorie Hawk were in Springfield Thursday, buying millinery goods. - Plot Stone | Online Newspapers Phyllis Long Photos BCG and HS |

He was occupation was blacksmith. B. J. Hawk of Cassville, MO was the informant. - Cassville Republican, July 20, 1916 - One by one the old pioneer citizens of Barry County pass to their reward in the great beyond. Every year for the past decade has marked the passing of some old citizen who helped to blaze the way to the present age of progress and modern civilization. Thursday morning July 13, 1916 saw the passing of one more old pioneer, a citizen who had lived in Cassville practically all the time from the date the town was laid out until the present time. With the passing of William C. Hawk Cassville and Barry County lost a man who was familiar with every year of their history for more than 70 years. He was born in McMinnville, Warren County, Tenn., Oct. 6, 1833. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Hawk moved from Tennessee to what was then called the "West" and located at Keetsville, the old name of Washburn, about the year of 1839.

I just happened upon it today. To get there, travel south on Hwy. 39 to Shell Knob. Turn right on Farm Road 1230. Go less than 5 miles into Turkey Mountain Estates. If you come to a T at Edgewater Street, you've gone to far. As you enter Turkey Mountain Estates, 1230 becomes Airport Road. Alongside that road is a small, earthen airstrip. The stone is on the opposite edge of that airstrip, all alone. I didn't find any other stones around. I'm really kind of surprised some Cessna hasn't clipped it at some point. - Nannie's Stone | Online Obit Note Phyllis Long Note Nancy's Photo Jay Trace Photo BCG and HS |
