From Miller Co. Missouri Mail List-
[email protected] writes:
There are two stories which come down through the family. One relates that John
went out to sell his goods and just never returned. It was thought that he was
either murdered for his money and thrown into the Missouri River, or he just took
off. The other story claims he just ran off with another woman. Agnes obtained a
divorce from John 9 Apr 1875. It seems none of the children were aware of this,
but the records were discovered in 1978 in Miller County.
Agnes was a large woman, weighing about 300 pounds. She was about 5' 6" or 5' 7"
in height and had a dark complexion. Because she was an avid reader, the names of
some of her children are unusual. Agnes was not a likable person, probably due to
her experiences in life. One grandson remembers her as a "cranky old woman".
