Laughlin, Judge of the eastern district of McDonald County, Mo., was born in Morgan County, Indiana, on Aug. 1, 1836. He is a son of Melvin A. Laughlin, who immigrated with his family, in the spring of 1839, to McDonald County, Mo. He settled on Big Sugar Creek, at the mouth of Trent Creek. The country was unsettled, and was full of Indians and wild animals, which made the nights hideous with their cries. Mr. Laughlin had to shut up his hogs at night to keep the bears from killing them. The subject of this sketch attended the first school in this settlement, and has a vivid recollection of the pioneer school house with its primitive furniture. the first teacher knew nothing whatever about arithmetic, and only reading, spelling and writing were taught. He also remembers when their lumber was sawed with a whip-saw, and their wheat was cut with a hand sickle. When the first cradle made its appearance, the settlers thought it a wonderful invention. The wheat was either tramped out by horses or beat out with flails, and cleaned by hand. Wild meat was the chief meat of these sturdy pioneers. Wild honey was also in abundance, and, besides being used for food, was used for soap by some of the settlers. In March 1855, Mr. Laughlin was united in marriage with Angeline Pendergraft, a daughter of Moses Pendergraft, an early settler of the county. They were parents of three children, all of whom are now dead. Two of them lived to be grown, Emily C. and Melvin Jonathan. Emily married John Lawson, and left three children: William, Annie and Harvey. Mr. Laughlin's first wife died on Apr. 15, 1859 and he was married again on Dec. 9, 1860 to Delphia A. Hall, a daughter of John Hall. The following children have been born to this union: Johnathan S., Margaret M. J., Harvey A., John M., Lettie A., George Calvin, Sarah A., James F. and Lois V. (twins), Thomas L., and Martha J. S., and eight of them are living. Harvey married Martha Harper, and has two children Myrtie and Arminda. John married Ellen Roller, and has one child, deceased. Lettie married George Lawson, and has one child, Georgia B. Judge Laughlin has served as justice of the peace, and was constable at the breaking out of the Rebellion. He enlisted in the Confederate army, joining Capt. Clanton's company, of Gen. Greene's regiment, and participated in the battles of Pea Ridge and Beaver's Mill. (Harvey is listed on the rolls of Confederate soldiers at the National Monument at Pea Ridge, AR.) He is a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South and of the Farmer's Alliance. - Wheaton Journal, Jan. 10, 1929 - H. J. Laughlin Dies - H. J.

Research Note: Husband of Lucretia Jane Gallaway. Son of John Abe Laughlin and Margaret Duncan. - Goodspeed's 1888 History of McDonald County - Melvin A. Laughlin came to McDonald County about 1839, and located on Big Sugar Creek at the mouth of Trent Creek. He and his family first lived in a tent among thousands of wild animals, snakes and Indians. - The following information was given to Johnie Lawson and Agnes Lawson by Marvin Hall, grandson of Lucretia (Laughlin) Hall. - When the Melvin Laughlin family came from Indiana, they camped where the Roller Churches and Schoolhouse are. He traded a team of oxen and a wagon for a section of land. (On Highway 90 toward Washburn after leaving the Roller Cemetery where September 11, 1984 the 100-year old barn is standing.) Paten Hall lives on the old homestead. John Paten Hall bought the old Laughlin homestead (Melvin's daughter's husband). Melvin Laughlin was killed at Granny's Branch. The Laughlins were in the Confederate Army (Indiana was considered a Southern State and they stayed with their former state). There were about 12,000 Union Soldiers down in the Cyclone area. The Union Scouts located the Confederate soldiers hiding in a cave and a battle ensued. Melvin Laughlin was killed. Aunt Nerva Roller, his daughter, knew where her daddy was at all times. When he didn't show up for two or three days, she went looking for him and found his body. She and some other woman took him to Bentonville Hollow and buried him temporarily in a marked grave. After the war, they moved his remains to Roller Cemetery. Colored people came with the Laughlins and when the slaves were freed, the older couple would not leave. They lived in a cabin on the Laughlin farm until their deaths and were buried in the Roller Cemetery in unmarked graves. The Hall and Laughlin families were intermarried and close friends, but during the war, they were separated because one was Union and the other Confederate. After the war they did not talk about it. Marvin said his granddaddy fought in the battle of Pea Ridge against his own brother-in-law. | Headstone Patricia Scott Headstone Donna Cooper Notes Agnes Lawson Goodspeed Phyllis Long |
