However, it is probably not as interesting from a historical point as, at least, one of the others...the McConnell Hotel which was located immediately north of what is now the Barry Hotel building on the west side of the square. William Shakespeare McConnell (1823-1889) was born in Maury Co., TN and 1843 migrated to Green Co., MO. He came to Cassville about 1849 to make his home. Earlier, he had studied law, as was the custom in those days, simply by "reading law" under the guidance of a practicing attorney. McConnell signed the roll of attorneys here in 1852. He also operated the hotel for over 30 years and practiced as a druggist and maybe as a physician during his lifetime. The following year, he married a daughter of John O. and Mary Carolina Burton, who lived on the site of the present Crystal Springs Trout Farm at the north edge of the city limits. Randy McConnell, a kinsman now living in Jefferson City and working as a journalist in state government, has done a great deal of research on the family, some of which is used here. McConnell bought his first town lot in Cassville in 1854, the forerunner of numerous town and country additions to his estate. He was elected to the MO House of Representatives on Aug. 1, 1860 and took office that December. He originally helped stall resolutions that would have clarified the state's intentions on secession, and he voted for a plan to provide for a non binding referendum on secession along with his cousin, Rep. Marcus Boyd of Greene Co. McConnell eventually ended up voting for the final bill to establish a constitutional convention, which Gov. Claiborne Jackson signed on Jan. 21, 1861. - Another Photo | MO Marriage Records Census Notes Phyllis Long Photos BCG and HS |

Research Note: Wife of John Thomas McFarlin. Daughter of Clifton Rhodes Eidson and Mary Frances Daley. - Crystal Caverns: - From 1854 to 1924 Crystal Caverns was nothing more than an interesting place to explore, the wondrous beauty seen by only a few. During this time the property was purchased by Clifford Eidson (Jemima's father). Eventually, the cavern was inherited by his son Phillip, and daughter Jemima (Eidson) McFarlin. Jemima, her husband John and brother Phillip opened the cavern to the public in 1924. Guests descended through a trap door using a wooden ladder, their way lighted by lanterns. John and Jemima's son Thomas helped with the tours as a young man, but upon returning from the war became interested in banking, and is now president of the Bank of Selina in OK. When husband and brother had passed away "Aunt Jemima," as she was called, continued to manage the business and conduct most of the tours. Late in the 1960's, Mrs. McFarlin's family discovered that her battle with diabetes had left her ninety per cent blind. No one knows how long she had been giving tours with nothing but memory to guide her. After forty years, Crystal Caverns was closed. In 1970, Mrs. McFarlin's nephew, Herman Hutchens and his wife Jessie persuaded "Aunt" Jemima to allow them to lease and reopen the cavern. - McFarlin Plot Stone | Census Crystal Caverns Phyllis Long Photo BCG and HS |

Research Note: Cassville Democrat, Saturday, Jan. 31, 1920 - Another excellent citizen, mother and neighbor has been beckoned from earth in paradise, where she will be free from disease, trials and tribulations and there bask in the sunlight of her great redeemer, and meet her loved ones gone on before and await the coming of others from earth. Miss Francis Elizabeth McBeath was born October 3, 1887 in Wayne County, Kentucky. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McBeath, who were born November 1799, in Knox County, Tenn. Her grandfather, Robert McBeath, was born in 1763 in Pennsylvania. She was twice married first to David R. Galloway who died in 1865. In 1868 she and E. O. McKee were married and to this union were born: Grant McKee of near Cassville, Cash and Chat McKee and Mrs. Ollie Willyard of Viola. She died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Brookman and another sister and her brother, J. T. McBeath in this city, suddenly Saturday morning while at the breakfast table. Mrs. McKee had been in poor health for sometime and had been making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Ollie Willyard near Viola, but had been visiting her son, Grant, of near this city, and sisters and brother in Cassville. In 1815 her parents moved to Clinton County, Missouri and in 1881 moved to Barry County where she has since resided. Mrs. McKee was a very plain, unpretentious woman, a faithful wife, loving mother and a member of the Methodist church. After services at the home of her sisters and brother in Cassville at 2 p.m. Monday, the remains were interred in Oak Hill Cemetery. It was the intention of the relatives to convey the remains to Viola for the interment but on account of White River being dangerous to ferry interment was made here. | Online Obit Phyllis Long Photo BCG and HS |
