Shamrock Articles 1870s

CWG: From Shamrock -- We have nothing much to note this week except the mud.
The health of our community is not as good as usual. Captain W. M. Scholl and mother are both confined to their beds, but under the skillful treatment of Dr. B. D. Brown, we are glad to hear that they are convalescing.

"John Pratt," the celebrated Clydesdale horse brought to this county from Illinois by Mr. Thos. Harrison, and now owned by Capt. Scholl, will make the present season at the latter's stable. The Captain has also bought a fine young jack, four years old this spring and fifteen hands high, which can be seen at his stable. We think that it would be to the interest of stock men to call and see the Captain's stock before breeding elsewhere.
Mr. Thos. Harrison, we learn, has sold his other horse, "Harvey Benson," to a Lincoln county man for $500, the same that Captain Scholl paid for his.

Our old friend Captain Wm. M. Scholl now owns the celebrated Clydesdale draught horse, "Johnny Pratt", brought to this county from Illinois by Thomas Harrison, and will keep him this season at his stable. He also owns the well-known and popular jack, "Black John," a direct descendant of "Knight of Malta."

CWG: From Shamrock -- Editors Gazette: Yesterday I discoursed to a good audience at Loutre Church, Montgomery county, at 11 o'clock, after which I buried a young lady with her Lord in baptism, in the waters of the Loutre.
After taking some refreshments, I proceeded to the residence of W.M. Scholl and secured his services to pilot me to the ferry, or as it is better known as the Berry residence, where Mr. Robert Farmer let to the hymenial alter Mrs. Mary W. Underwood, the oldest couple it has ever been my lot to unite in holy matrimony. May their remaining days be happy and their sun set in peace.
After tea, with the Captain, I returned to his residence and took refuge for the night under his hospital roof.
Next Saturday evening I will meet with the Williamsburg temperance friends, and will preach at Antioch on Sunday, at 11 o'clock. B.C. Stephens.

Reece Scholl
Reece Scholl was born February 29, 1856 in Shamrock, Callaway Co., MO, and died July 03, 1935 in Shamrock Twp., Callaway Co., MO. Reece was buried on July 04, 1935 at Liberty Cemetery, Callaway Co., MO. No evidence exists to suggest Reece was ever married as he is listed as “single” in all the available census reports. His cause of death was listed as a fracture of spine. The death certificate says he fell from a load of hay onto his head on June 29, 1935.
Reece is first mentioned in the 1860 Federal Census as being 4 years old and living with his parents. His name is spelled Rice. He next appears in the 1870 Census and is still living at home with his parents. He is listed as attending school within the last year and can read and write. In the 1880 Census at the age of 23 he is shown as living with his brother Joseph and Joseph’s wife, Jennie. At this point Joseph and Jennie have been married for approximately 9 months. Due to their (Joseph & Reece) proximity on the census form to their parents (William & Sarah) we assume they were living close together, perhaps on the same farm as both Joseph and Reece are listed as farmers.
No information is available from the 1890 census. The census was damaged in two different fires and was destroyed about 1935. (1) The 1900 Census shows Reece living with his brother, Milton and Milton’s family. The mother of Reece and Milton is also shown as living with the family. Both Milton and Reece are shown as owning the land they are living on. The 1910 Census shows much of the same with both Reece and Milton living on the same farm. Although the name is badly spelled it appears that Reece was living with Milton and his family at the time of the 1920 census. Other than the death certificate no other evidence was found of Reece after 1920.
