Mr. Cathey left the Cafe a short time ahead of his wife, who closed the Cafe about eleven o'clock. When she arrived home her husband was feeling bad and trying to vomit. He said he was pretty sick, but his wife only thought he had eaten too much supper. He got worse of a sudden and his wife called the doctor and he died just as the doctor arrived. Dr. Holmes said he died of heart trouble and had he arrived sooner he could not have saved his life. Funeral services have not been completely arranged as none of the children have arrived on account of the death being so sudden. - Wheaton Journal, December 5, 1924 - John T. Cathey was born May 12, 1860 in Jacinto, Miss., died Nov. 26, 1924 at his home in Wheaton, Mo. He was married December 26,1883 to Miss Ella Holder. To this union were born three children who are Mrs. Alla Grover of St. Louis, Mrs. Homer Little of Heber Springs, Ark. and Sumpter Cathey of Wheaton. Besides the wife and children he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Sally Maxey of Little Rock, Ark. and Mrs. Ida Posey of Kensett, Ark. In 1892 they moved to Heber Springs, Ark. For the past sixteen years, Mr. Cathey had served the M. and N. A. Railroad in the capacity of section foreman and was one of the few men who remained with the road during the recent strike trouble. About three years ago Mr. Cathey and family moved to Wheaton and during this time his quiet unassuming manners and unquestionable honesty and integrity has won many friends who will sadly miss him. He professed his faith in Christ in his boyhood days. Funeral services were conducted at the home Saturday afternoon and the body laid to rest in the cemetery at Rocky Comfort. | Online Obit Census Phyllis Long Photo Bill Utter |

Inscription: "Wife of Robert H. Christian" - Research Note: Maiden name given on son Robert's death certificate. Robert H. Christian was one of the most notorious figures of the war in Southwest Missouri. - Excerpt from a Report by Captain Joseph Peevy of a Confederate Scout into Southwest Missouri, April, 1863 - On the border, both in Arkansas and Missouri, they are murdering every Southern man going north or coming south. West of Cassville, in Barry County, a first lieutenant (Robert H. Christian) of the Missouri militia committed one of the most diabolical, cold-blooded murders that I heard of during my trip. Four old citizens of that county had gone to the brush, fearing that by remaining at home they would be murdered. Their names were Asa Chilcutt (who was recruiting for the C. S. Army), Elias Price, Thomas Dilworth, and Lee Chilcutt. Asa Chilcutt was taken very sick, and sent for Dr. Harris, a Southern man. The doctor came as requested, and, while there, this man Christian and 17 other militia came suddenly upon their camp. Lee Chilcutt made his escape. The others were captured, and disposed of as follows: Asa Chilcutt, the sick man, was shot to death while lying on his pallet unable to move. He was shot some six or seven times by this leading murderer, Christian. They marched the others 150 yards to a ridge, and, not heeding their age or prayers for mercy, which were heard by the citizens living near by, they shot and killed the doctor and the others, all of them being shot two or three times through the head and as many more times through the body. They (the Federals) then left them, and, passing a house near by, told the lady that they "had killed four old bucks out there, and if they had any friends they had better bury them." This man Christian also tried to hire two ladies, with sugar, coffee, ect. to poison Southern men lying in the brush. Christian proposed furnishing the poison and also the subsistence, and would pay them well if they accepted his proposition. The names of the ladies are Rhoda Laton and Mrs. Simms, and every word of all the above can be proven in every particular. I have given you the above narrative of Christian's acts at the request of the public living in that section. They look to you as the avenger of their wrongs. - Excerpt from Interview of F. L. Moore in the Indian Pioneer Papers - My parents were Samuel and Poly Moore, nee Beeler, both born and raised and married in East Tennessee, near Knoxville. I was the youngest of several children and was born February 7, 1854 on Indian Creek in Newton County, Missouri. We left our Missouri home the last year of the War, after Price made his raid from Missouri to Texas, and our family moved to Texas and stayed till after the War. Old Bob Christian, who lived near Newtonia, Missouri, was the head of a bunch that bushwhacked in our part of the county. They robbed, stole, and killed; burned houses and tortured as well. Old Bob, trying to force the women to tell where the men were, would pull off the finger nails of the women with bullet molds. He would go so far in his torture as to cut off their ears. He and his bunch burned our house twice and would not let us save anything; he forced us to stand by and see our home and all our belongings burn; our beds, bedding and what we had to eat as well as the children's clothes, etc. He hated my father, as we were rebels, and when Uncle Lewis Moore came or rather stopped to see his step-mother, Bob Christian thought Uncle Lewis was my father. Bob shot Uncle Lewis and then, hanging his body to a tree, shot it to pieces. After that, on the way to our house this raiding party met my Sister Nan, who lived near, and Bob said to her, "I am the man that killed your G__d__ Daddy." Reaching our house, they set fire to it. He struck my mother over the head with a fire chunk, and she carried to her grave a big scar of the burn. Shortly after that, Father met Bob and told him, "I am going to kill you for killing Lewis." He shot and crippled him, disarming him. Bob begged him not to kill him, but was told that he was going to get some of the torture that he had been giving others. Father scalped him while he was still alive and hollering. Afterwards he took the scalp, washed it in the creek, rolled it up and put it in his pocket. General Price had offered a reward for the capture of Christian, but my father's hatred of Bob for the murder of Uncle Lewis was so intense that he killed him instead of taking him alive. - Samuel Moore, the slayer of Bob Christian, was alleged to have been a member of Quantrill's band and was himself killed by John Lacey and H. W. Goodykoontz in Newton County in 1867. - Robert H. Christian is buried at Old Newtonia Cemetery, Newton Co., MO. | Notes Phyllis Long Photo Bill Utter |
