Located in Harrison County, T62N-R24 (a black mark), Section 26. It is approximately 1 1/2 miles over border of Grundy County, and is important to our records because of those families from Grundy County, buried there; also, because of the number of service men buried there. The following clipping from the Trenton Republican Times offers further information regarding the cemetery:
"MITCHELL CEMETERY LAYS CLAIM TO MORE HONOR THAN JUST ITS OLD AGE"
"A headstone in the Mitchell Cemetery, four miles east of Gilman City, and one miles west of Melbourne, dated 1840 is proof that the cemetery is the oldest in the area. The fact was realized by persons visiting the cemetery on Decoration Day. The cemetry is unusual not only in its age but in that in it is buried a relative of Abraham Lincoln and negro slaves.
It is a small cemetery and because of neglect and no proper markings, a score of graves are believed to be lost. The graves were not laid out in rows but were selected at random. The cemetery is now cared for by Sherman Payne and Gilbert Gamble from funds received by donations and from royalities from the New Diamond coal mine, which is nearby.
More than 30 Civil War veterans, both union and southern soldiers, and Spanish American War were buried in the cemetery. Flags are place on the veteran's graves each Decoration Day by the American Legion of Gilman City.
The cemetery was named for William Mitchell, who with his wife Sally Conduitt Mitchell, and six children, came to Missouri from Kentucky as a pioneer in a covered wagon in October 1837, and entered government land for which he paid the government 90 cents an acre. The Mitchell home was built on land now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Lew Dunn.
A Negro slave, named Luce, was given to Mrs. Mitchell by her father at the time of her marriage. A relative of Luce, a young Negro boy named Charlie who had come to live with her, died after a short illness. As there was no cemetery in the country, Charlie was buried in the Mitchell yard.
The next year, 1840, Mr. Mitchell's wife, Sally, died and was buried beside the Negro boy. Other settlers moving into the country asked that they might bury their dead beside the others. Mr. Mitchell set aside a portion of his land for this, known as the Mitchell Cemetery.
After the death of Mrs. Mitchell, Luce cared for the Mitchell children. Mr. Mitchell bought from Archibald Peery for $100.00 a Negro named Stephenie, who later married Luce. Instead of taking the name of their master, Mitchell, as was the custom, they took the nameof Johnson after President Johnson. At the time of his death, Mitchell gave the Negroes their freedom. 40 acres of land, stock, and machinery. This 40 acres of land is a part of the farm now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Waggoner. Among the papers of William Mitchell was a tax receipt dated 1858 that showed in that year on 55.71 acres of land he paid $11.94 in taxes. The tax collector was Charlie Cravens.
At the present time (1952?)there are two living grandchildren of William & Sally Mitchell. (check Coon Creek records for Peery dates.) They are: MRs. Alice Mitchell Peery, 96, Gilman City, and Ella Willis Smith, 90, Long Beach, Calif.
The relative of Abraham Lincoln, buried in the Mitchell Cemetery was Elizabeth Dillon, who was a sister of Nancy Hanks, mother of Lincoln. Elizabeth Dillon was a Hanks and first married to a Ray and was the grandmother of Tony and Frank Ray and the late John and Jim Ray, all of this community.
One centenarian, Margaret Herrin Couch, mother of Mrs. John Hughes of Melbourne, is buried in the Mitchell Cemetery.
Near the year 1880, the church was built, where it now stands. Willis B. Mitchell, son of William and Sally, donated a large portion of the timber from which the lumber was sawed and with the help of others, the church was built. The church was a union church, non-denominational, and could be used by any group. (in small handwritten print is inserted: Bought Mar 20 1883 For $25.00 from WM. I. Booram, filed for record Aug 16 1884 fee 75 cents, Bethany Mo)
First trustees of the church were Robie Burrill, Benny Dewitt, and Tom Oram.
The church is now in poor repair and cannot be used for services. In the church yard, under the lofty trees, Decoration Day services are held each year and are attended by persons from all parts of the state."

Dear Mr. Layson,
Because the towns you cited are in several different counties, the task of tracing your family may be a bit more difficult. All counties kept their records and to obtain records such as marriages, births, deaths and wills before the turn of the century, one must contact appropriate agency in each county. Please see the enclosed information sheet, "vital records."
From the MISSOURI POST OFFICES 1804-1981, Robert G. Schultz, these towns were listed wtih their county and dates these towns were post officeds:
Taggart Harrison County 1886-1903
Bethany Harrison Coutny 1850-present
Melbourne Harrison County 1897-1977
Gallatin Daviess County 1838-present
Trenton Grundy County 1842-present
There was also a Tagert Mills in Carroll County from 1858-1861
Wein Chariton County 1873-1903
Marcelline Linn County 1887-present
We have very few printed, indexed sources for Harrison County, but in the listing for the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Bethany (Miriam Cem.) there were these LAYSON:
Bert L. 1881-1947
Lura C. 1884-1959
Garland P. 1904-1948
We also have an index to the 1860 Harrison County Census and these LAYSON:
(handwritten into text "my great grandfather, my great grandmother")
family #1454 James F. Layson, 31 Ky, Jemima 31 TN, Elizabeth B. 10 Ill, Mary A. 6 Ill, John C. 4 MO (handwritten "my grandfather"), and Alfred N. 1 month MO.
family #1455 Westley Layson 33 KY, Elizabeth 28 Ill, alice 6 Ill, Casandra 4 MO, and Vincent 2 MO.
In the index to the statewide 1870 census, Volume 1 (counties above the Missouri River) there were several LAYSON, but none in Harrison County. They were in Platt, Ralls, Montgomery, and Putnum counties. Later census should be checked, but we canont search the microfilm for you. You could have access to the microfilm census (see enclosed "census" sheet).
This is all that we can do for you from our printed, indexed sources of Harrison County. There is no Harrison County Historical Society, but there is a Grundy county Genealogical Society, Secretary Maradyn E. Oyler, 1715 E. 8th Trenton Missouri 64683. Please read over the enclosed information sheets and you may find a way to proceed. You would be most welcome to visit the Society.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Bailey (Mrs.)

Buildings of Canon City
aunt minerva collection
from the Historical Dept. Canon City Library Canon City CO by David Eugene Layson 1990
It's obvious what this building is from the sign ast the top-The Taggart Building. But, do you recall where it is located and anything about it's history?
It has been a business district feature for some 90 years, starting out as a dry goods store, and then covering a number of other fields of endeavor.
THe little decorative knob on the top corners and the other decoration just below the roof are features. If you can't think of the answer, you'll find it in the box at the bottom of this page.
The Answer to Buildings of Canon City
The Taggart Building is located at 318-320 Main St and it was built in the 1880s-probably the very early '80s.
In its early years,, it housed the Taggart Dry Goods, which was sold some years later to George A. BAker and C.A. Biggs, owners of Baker & Biggs Merchantile. They later built the building at Sixth and Main that is now the First National Bank.
The Taggart family has long been gone from Canon City. Frederick E. Riede recalls that the Taggart's daughter married Al Morey, who was a brother of Mrs. David L. Robison.
By 1903, after Biggs & Baker had moved to their new location, the Thomas & Diegel Auto Livery occupied the Taggart Building. Five years later, Frank L. (Peanut) Bunten had his garage there.
Mr. Riede remembers that Clyde Farmer, long a leading figure in the automotive business in this area, also had his garage there for several years.
In more recent history, the building has served as a storage warehouse, and also the location of Van Riper Motors. When the Taggart Building was erected, it was right in the middle of the business section-the 300 block of Main was the busiest in town.

In the 19th century people didn't understand what caused disease/how to treat it. Doctors did the best they could.
In the 19th century, one-third of the children in the U.S. did not live to adulthood. In the 1980s, about 98 percent of children lived to adulthood.
Pioneers often relied on home remedies to cure disease before they contacted a physician. Fever and ague struck many homes. People could come down with chills and fever one afternoon and die the next day. The symptoms included chills, fever and lack of energy. Doctors were helpless to find a cure.
A less serious, but annoying ailment was called prairie itch. Often the home remedy was a lotion made "from the roots of the skunk-cabbage."
Malaria, cholera, typhoid and small pox were serious health risks during the 1800s in Iowa. These diseases were often deadly. Scientists knew little about the causes and treatments for these diseases. In the mid-19th century it was believed that these diseases were caused by "bad air." It wasn't until the 1880s that scientists began to understand that germs caused certain diseases.
Physicians used simple drugs and instruments. In the medicine chests of most 19th century doctors were a stock of basic drugs: castor oil, bark, calomel, Dover's powder and quinine. They also carried unusual instruments. In case of fever, a patient was generally bled. Every physician carried lancets for this purpose. It was believed that bleeding would relieve the body of disease.
Physicians often advertised their services in newspapers. One doctor's rates in Bloomington (now Muscatine) were:
First visit in town in the daytime $1. 00
Every succeeding visit $ .50
Visit in the night time $1.50
Bleeding $1.00
Tooth Extracting $1.00
Attention on a patient all day or night by request $5.00
Not all physicians were strict about collecting their fees. Many doctors received food as payment instead of money.
(I was looking for mention of the typhoid fever that killed John Henry Gilliland in Patterson,Iowa.)

typhoid fever
Typhoid fever is an infection that causes diarrhea and a rash -- most commonly due to a type of bacteria called Salmonella typhi (S. typhi).
from pubmed health
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The bacteria that cause typhoid fever -- S. typhi -- spread through contaminated food, drink, or water. If you eat or drink something that is contaminated, the bacteria enter your body. They travel into your intestines, and then into your bloodstream, where they can get to your lymph nodes, gallbladder, liver, spleen, and other parts of your body.
A few people can become carriers of S. typhi and continue to release the bacteria in their stools for years, spreading the disease.
Typhoid fever is common in developing countries, but fewer than 400 cases are reported in the U.S. each year. Most cases in the U.S. are brought in from other countries where typhoid fever is common.
Early symptoms include fever, general ill-feeling, and abdominal pain. A high (typically over 103 degrees Fahrenheit) fever and severe diarrhea occur as the disease gets worse.
Some people with typhoid fever develop a rash called "rose spots," which are small red spots on the abdomen and chest.
Other symptoms that occur include:
•
Abdominal tenderness
•
Agitation
•
Bloody stools
•
Chills
•
Confusion
•
Difficulty paying attention (attention deficit)
•
Delirium
•
Fluctuating mood
•
Hallucinations
•
Nosebleeds
•
Severe fatigue
•
Slow, sluggish, lethargic feeling
•
Weakness
outcome becomes poor if complications develop. (& since we're dealing with the times of our ancestors, there were no antibiotics to help them)
Complications
•
Intestinal hemorrhage (severe GI bleeding)
•
Intestinal perforation
•
Kidney failure
•
Peritonitis

diptheria
from pubmed health:
Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Diphtheria spreads through respiratory droplets (such as those produced by a cough or sneeze) of an infected person or someone who carries the bacteria but has no symptoms. Diphtheria can also be spread by contaminated objects or foods (such as contaminated milk).
The bacteria most commonly infects the nose and throat. The throat infection causes a gray to black, tough, fiber-like covering, which can block the airways. In some cases, diphtheria may first infect the skin, producing skin lesions.
Once infected, dangerous substances called toxins, produced by the bacteria, can spread through your bloodstream to other organs, such as the heart, and cause significant damage.
Because of widespread and routine childhood DPT immunizations, diphtheria is now rare in many parts of the world. There are fewer than five cases of diphtheria a year in the United States.
Risk factors include crowded environments, poor hygiene, and lack of immunization
Symptoms usually occur 2 to 5 days after you have come in contact with the bacteria.
•
Bluish coloration of the skin
•
Bloody, watery drainage from nose
•
Breathing problems
•
Difficulty breathing
•
Rapid breathing
•
Stridor
•
Chills
•
Croup-like (barking) cough
•
Drooling (suggests airway blockage is about to occur)
•
Fever
•
Hoarseness
•
Painful swallowing
•
Skin lesions (usually seen in tropical areas)
•
Sore throat (may range from mild to severe)
Note: There may be no symptoms.
Diphtheria may be mild or severe. Some people may not have symptoms. In others, the disease can slowly get worse.
The death rate is 10%. Recovery from the illness is slow.
The most common complication is inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis). The nervous system is also frequently and severely affected, which may result in temporary paralysis.

Old Wittens Mill Has Many Names But It Is Now Straight
aunt minerva collection
unknown undated newspaper clipping
Tazewell,Nov. 7-Tazewell County Court clerk, H. Elmer Kiser, is often called on for information. Most of the requests have been made so often that they have become routine, but recently he was asked by a representative of the freight and passenger tariffs, and in various publication in six forms Norfolk & Western Railway to supply the correct name of a non-agency station on the line in Tazewell.
The name had appeared in of spelling. (thinking we may be missing part of the article here....deb)
The station referred to is Wittens Mill, located some five miles east of Tazewell, and as used by the railway it has been written as Witten Mills, Witten's Mill, Wittens' Mills and also as Whittens Mils.
Kiser informed the questioner that the records of his office carried the name Wittens Mill.
The utility from which the place received its name was built, along with a dam, across the north branch of the headwaters of the Clinch River by Alexander Witten and was operated by him until his death several years ago.
Operation was not continued very long after his passing, and has since been dismantled and the old water wheel is pretty well rotted down.
One of the millstones has een erected on the plot in Maplewood Cemetery in companionship to the venerable miller whom it served for such a long time.
Still standing, but not in use, is part of the old Witten Mill. One of the mill stones is in the Maplewood Cemetery in Tazewell, where it was erected as a memorial to its long time owner and operator, Alex Witten. A mill on this site was first built, and run by a Mr. Lane, but it was burned when the Yankee army invaded the county under Col. Toland. In 1870 Thomas Witten and Richard Smooth joined in partnership to reconstruct the mill, with the help of William Tarter, a millwright.
In early settlement days the location of the mill was the impelling influence in teh selection of a homesite. A miller was an artisan of great skill. The names of the mills were adopted into the names of many of the communities in the county today.
(pictured in middle of article Witten's Mill, pictured at bottom of article is Maxwell Mill.)
