Jesse James
Robert Scholl, a great grandson of William Milton Scholl, relates a story as to how William knew the James brothers. William happened to come across Jesse who was riding a tired horse. Jesse wanted to trade horses. William agreed and Jesse rode off in a hurry. A week later William found his horse back in the barn, it seems Jesse or someone he knew had returned it. Robert claims to have read this story in a “history book” but he was not sure where it was.
I have heard a similar version of the story in which Jesse “borrowed” a couple of William’s horses from the barn. The horses were later returned.
A book, Jesse James and the Civil War in Missouri, makes mention of time possibly spent in Callaway County by Jesse.
"One interesting story about Jesse James during this time (1877 – 1882) comes from Callaway County, Missouri. Some people in the county believe Jesse lived there for a few months under the name of Johnson, while he was hiding from the law officers trying to find him. He supposedly came to the old Unity Baptist Church southwest of Fulton one day saying he was a traveling singing teacher. The minister of the church put him in charge of the children’s Sunday school singing sessions, and he was very popular with the children.
But shortly after Jesse began teaching singing as “Brother Johnson” people began asking questions about who he was and where he came from. The prosecuting attorney of Callaway County decided there was a good chance that “Brother Johnson” was, in fact the outlaw Jesse James and decided to have him arrested. Someone who liked Jesse heard about the plan and told “Brother Johnson.” On the day the sheriff and his deputies came to get “Brother Johnson” they found he had vanished. He was never seen in Callaway County again.
No one knows whether or not the story about Jesse in Callaway County is true, but it is true that time was running out for Jesse James" (Dyer, R. 1984. P 62).
It should also be noted that not all historians agree on the story of Jesse teaching in Callaway County. If anyone has additional information regarding this story please contact me.
On a somewhat related note, Jesse James’ son, Jesse Edward James married a Stella Frances McGowan. Stella was a 3rd cousin twice removed to William Milton Scholl. The connection is through the Boone Family. Stella is a descendant of Daniel Boone (the Daniel Boone we read about in history books) while William Milton is a descendant of Daniel’s brother, Edward Boone.

Zachary Scholl Armold - 2nd Great Grandson of William Milton Scholl
'Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal' Zachary Scholl Armold, of Topeka, died Friday, May 11, 2007 at the age of 18. His family is slowly coming to terms with the tragic loss of their loved one. Zach was born November 25, 1988 in Topeka, Kansas and is the son of Norman and Kathleen Armold. As his life progressed he attended Randolph Elementary, Landon Middle, and Capitol City High. He left school early and achieved his GED in 2006. He got his first job in Western Kansas that same year, working at a Wendy's, but moved back home shortly after. He picked up a short-lived telemarketing job, before he left his job in search of a more promising line of work in 2007. Zach grew into a vibrant and healthy young man, who went to the gym and tried to eat right. Not long before his death he had spoken to a few people of getting into a personal trainer program where he could help out others who struggled to get in shape like he once did. Not one to look back on his past mistakes, he continued to move forward, bringing hope and happiness to his family in the months before his passing. He loved his family - immediate and extended - with all his heart. He enjoyed playing a part in his young cousin's lives, playing with them and giving them someone to look up to everytime he went to a family function. This isn't to say his love for his older cousins were ignored, as he strived to make them (and his parents) proud of him. He wasn't always outspoken, but when he was quiet and reserved, he always had an air of strength about him. While intensely personal at times, Zachary loved to engage in conversation around himself if he had something to add, or especially if he was quite fond of the subject. He was a huge music fan and dispite the protests of his parents and/or sibling, would blare his music for everyone to hear. Always trying to get people to listen to this new band he discovered, he geniunely loved to introduce people to new things. He is survived by his loving parents, Norman and Kathleen Armold, his 'bro', Jake, his grandparents, Jack and Leslie Fowler, his aunts and uncles, Kevin & Maire Fowler, Michael & Kim Fowler, Rich & Jessica Matteson, Carolyn & Rick Torrence, Harold Armold, and Edward Armold, his cousins, Allison & Matthew Fowler, and Emily & Cydney Fowler, not to mention all of his friends who loved Zach very much as well. Zach we will all miss you very much and will see you again sometime, someplace, and we will hold you in our hearts for an eternity. 'Life was never meant for one as beautiful as you.' Written by his 21 year old brother and only sibling, Jacob .
For Norman and Kathleen Armold
