Probate Documents "Writ of Hire" of Frances A. and William A. Valentia and Albert S. Killingsworth Wards. Signed by Albert N. Ford clerk A.J. Scott A.W. Sutpin and Thomas S. Osteen appraisers J.M. Ellis Judge

1858714Jefferson County State of Mississippi 1858. 4to. 315 x 200mm. 12 Â½ x 8 inches.Â 2 pp. Docket on verso. Blue legal paper; folds edges browned and slightly frayed; top page cutÂ 2 inches shorter no loss. The first page dated July 27 1858 shows the value of two slaves Juda and Emma owned by the named wards to be valued at $40 together. The three appraisers of the above slave property signed their names on the first page. The second page is an application of Mary Shaw dated April 9 guardian of the four Killingsworth wards to appoint the appraisers for the slaves. It is signed by Albert N. Ford clerk. There is an interesting story behind these records. William Anderson Killingsworth owner of about thirty slaves was born 1821 in Tennessee. He married Nancy Ann Shaw who was born 1820 in Mississippi and died 23 June 1853 in Jefferson County MS. Their children were Francis Horace Valencia William and Albert. On July 19 1854 William Killingsworth was murdered by two of his slaves named Jesse and Albert.Â Two more slaves Bill and Charles were accused of torching the house. Unnamed slaves retrieved William's body and his three children from the burning house. The slaves' trial was in the fall of 1854. Jesse and Albert were hung November 21 1854. Jesse confessed that he alone committed the murder.Â This information is recorded in a diary written by Susan Sillers Darden which began in January 1854. Â Darden was thirty-eight years old when she wrote the diary.Â The diary reads in part; "July 20 1854: There was an awful murder committed at Killingsworth's last night.Â He was murdered by his negroes and the house burned down; he had four children but the house was discovered and taken out." "November 21 1854:Â Our negroes went to Fayette to see Jesse and Albert hung for murdering their master W. Killingsworth.Â Jesse confessed that he had done it all that no one helped to do it; exhorted his fellow servants to be faithful and do their duty." Since both parents were deceased the Killingsworth children were the wards of their grandmother Mary Shaw and Uncle William Shaw. Frances Chalmers Killingsworth 1842-1910 was the oldest child.

His first job putting his talent and training to use came in the form of an apprenticeship with the Milwaukee firm Marr & Richards where he stayed for 3 years drawing and engraving on wood. The subsequent years included many moves from Milwaukee to Chicago and later to New York where he studied at ASL and was encouraged by Professor Packard to pursue a career as an illustrator at a European school. Nichols left for Munich in October 1885 to attend the Royal Academy where he studied under Heckel became a member of the American Club and socialized with Carl von Marr the clubs president.

Missouri. Mississippi RiverABAA

Vernacular Photo Album of Seventy-Six Images Taken Along the Mississippi River at the Disappeared Town of Gayoso Missouri

19071873Southeastern Missouri 1907. About very good. Seventy-six silver gelatin photographs on twenty grey card leaves each image approximately 3.75 x 2.25 inches. Square grey cloth album string-tied. Light wear and soiling to covers. Contemporary ink inscription on front pastedown. Light foxing and soiling to leaves heaviest on first three leaves. Leaves lightly warped. Two images excised. A charming vernacular photograph album depicting life along the Mississippi River in the vicinity of the declining town of Gayoso Missouri. The caption on the front pastedown reads "These pictures made in the year of 1907 by Tom Pierce & Ed Cappoc at Goyaso Mo." Gayoso located on the banks of the Mississippi in the southeasternmost tip of the state was settled in 1799 and incorporated in 1851 as the county seat of Pemiscot County. By 1898 the movement of the river threatened to swamp the town and the county seat was moved to several miles south to Caruthersville. Though the river changed course and briefly spared Gayoso by 1900 its post office closed and today any remnants are buried deep in the silt of the Gayoso Bend Conservation Area. The present images show the town disappearing as the river eats away at large swathes of its surrounding land.<br/><br/>Several of the images depict flooding and high water -- trees standing in water men wading to cut lumber riverbank erosion and one image seems to show a collapsed pier. Other views show boats traveling up and down the Mississippi some ferrying lumber several large paddlewheelers and men poling lumber on rafts. One image shows a horse and buggy on what we presume to be the main street of Gayoso with a storefront visible behind the rig. Many of the images show the hardy folk who are still living in the remains of the dying town -- a woman and child in front of a clapboard house with a rotting porch and crumbling roof; a group of boys and three dogs all laughing in front of a building that may be the schoolhouse; one man apparently giving a haircut to his friend seated in front of some steps high water visible amongst the trees in the background; and several images which show men and boys logging and lumbering some of them standing in waist-high water while they fell doomed stands of trees. The album captures a slice of life on the Mississippi River at the turn of the century with all its attendant hardships commercial opportunities and dangers. unknown books
