Notes for IVA MAE CASHATT: Grandma Souders was a lively, spirited lady and I wish I had known her. Sue Souders promises to tell me some stories about her someday. I remember her once coming to visit in California and I just remember when she arrived I wished she had brought me a present and she didn't. I don't remember anything about the visit or how long she stayed accept that she seemed sad. It was after Grandpa died so maybe that is why. Breckenridge 1900's AWAY BACK WHEN GROWING UP IN BRECKENRIDGE, MISSOURI DURING THE 1930’S AND 1940’S ON "SAWBILLY HILL"--------ACCORDING TO "SAWMILL" Breckenridge lays on the north side of US Highway 36 going east and west and running nearly parallel was the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad on the north side of town. The town was about 17 blocks long from County Road 141 (Sunset Hill) in the west to twelfth street in the east, with the numbered streets going north and south------and the named streets going east and west. The town was eight or nine streets wide from north to south. Breckenridge had around 900 population at that time.. The main district went east and west on Broadway for about 3 blocks from fifth street to eighth street. There were no banks as both went broke in 1929. And also Dockstetter Ice Plant (located between third and fourth street on an unnamed street [Maple?] next to and on the south side of the railroad) had closed along with the livery stable (building still there) at eighth and Broadway. There was a post office about a block or two from the railroad. Mail came in and went out three times a day; 5:30 AM, 1:38 PM from the west and 5:20 PM from the east. The latter two made regular stops. The 5:30 AM train was a flyer and never stop except if someone wanted to get off--------or get on and then they would have to flag it down For pickup mail on the flyer they had a mail catcher and to drop off mail they would throw it off in a big canvas bag with a big brass railroad lock on the brick landing without breaking speed. There were three grocery stores, sometimes two beer joints, three barbers, one drug store, two or more restaurants, two clothing stores, a jewelry store, a dime store, a lumber yard, bus station, a hardware store, a weekly newspaper, one or more shoe cobblers, one dentist, two MD doctors, three produce and creameries, one seed and wool company (cleaned and sold seed and bought wool), an ice house, funeral home and hearse, bowling alley, Modern Woodman Lodge, Masonic Lodge hall, two garages or more, two to four gas stations, free shows in the park once a week, pay to view picture show once a week, and later a local movie theater, opera house, two blacksmith shops, later on a welder, Model T fire engine that seldom started, later on a VFW Hall a meat locker and six or more churches, two ponds for ice production and ice storage buildings, hot house for bedding plants, city rock crusher and of course dad‘s custom work machinery which consisted of a woodsaw, sawmill, stationary bailer, threshing machine with appropriate power of it’s time of which was a steam engine, 15-30 and 10-20 International tractors. Also a liquor joint just outside of the cooperation limits on the east side. Only the main streets were graveled, the rest were dirt No city pressurized water system. Everyone had their own well. for drinking water. Most everyone had a privy. Avery few people had inside plumbing. A lot of people still used kerosene lamp for lights. A lot of people also scrubbed on the wash board and had the old man-powered washing machine. People still rushed outside to look if an airplane went over. Gas powered vehicles were just coming in to their own. But there were still a lot of horses-drawn wagons and buggies. Most of the farm work was still being done by horses and mules. I don’t remember anyone with oxen, though. On the off streets there was at least three hundred feet of log chain firmly attached to heavy posts where people could hitch their teams and wagons. Many people used wood for heat, some people used coal. Very few used natural gas for heat but more use bottled gas for cook stoves, some people used fuel oil stoves for heat. I know of no one who used electricity for heat. THIS ACCORDING TO SAWMILL. *********************************************************************** |

Notes for HARRY MAY SOUDERS: My Grandpa Harry died before I knew him of leukemia, so he has been a mystery to me. I remember going to Missouri because he was so sick. I remember playing at the house and around the vegetable garden and going to the outhouse and jumping on the feather bed while I was supposed to be napping. I remember going in to his room and seeing him laying in bed and looking very ill. He died a few days after we left for home. I am learning about him a little bit at a time. Mom, Nadine Souders Caperton, recalls that her father, Harry, had small pox at one time and lived. He shuddered at the words, small pox. It was very painful. She said that when the vaccine was developed for the prevention of small pox, her father took all the children to be the first ones in town to have it. He joined the service in 1919 to fight for his country. The men in Chillicothe all, even today, pride themselves in supporting the military of our country. He lucked out, you might say, as the day after he enlisted, the war ended and he did not have to go. He stayed home and married his sweetheart, Iva Mae Cashatt. He worked hard to support his family, never having quite enough. They lived in a lot of homes and he worked in a quite lot of places, wherever he could find work, on a ranch or in a mine. They moved where the work was. During the Depression he worked for the WPA. I read about it in the Livingston Tribune Newspaper. One of the things they did was break up rocks for the road building near Cameron, Missouri. They did it with a pick ax, not machinery, in the 1920's and 30's. It was hard work. They were friends of J.C. Penney and lived in the original ranch house on his property near Hamilton City, where Mr. Penney established the first department store. Uncle Junior worked for Penney as a ranch hand then as a young boy. The ranch house still exists and has been moved into town as a historical place to visit. It is near the J.C.Penney museum. Grandpa Harry became an auto mechanic, and a very good one. He owned his own garage and had a body and fender shop in the 1940's in Chillicothe, Missouri. He taught his son, Junior the trade and also his nephews. His son, Dean, is also mechanically inclined. Do you suppose his middle name was May because he was born in May? Interesting that he also died in May. In my research, I have found some family friends of the Sowder in the 1870's named May in Kentucky, so I wonder if the name could have come from them. Interesting that he also died in May. His sister Della died a few days before he did, so a double funeral was held. Uncle Dean says that Harry was born in Tarkio, Missouri. He also says to look in Aneheim, Germany for Souders, Sowder family. He served in the military and was stationed there. All the Germans said there were lots of Souders there. |

Notes for JAMES EARL CASHATT: He is called Earl. He served in the Seebees World War II. It is said that he was one of the first group of young men to raise the flag on Iwo Jima. The famous picture of the flag raising by Marines that appeared in Life Magazine, was posed by the photographer to recreate the scene. His brother, Rollie, who served in the Army, said that he was just there at the time they raised the flag. At any rate, he was there and among the brave soldiers that fought for America. Earl served as Sheriff for Breckenridge, Missouri until his death. He was a man that cared about people and their welfare. Earl was killed in a car accident when he had an attack of some kind and it made him go into the other lane and collide headon with a semi truck. His brother, Rollie, had to go to the scene of the accident to identify his body and then had to go to tell his wife. It was very sad and Tina, Rollie's daughter, remembers the look on her Aunt's face when they arrived at the house to give her the unexpected news. |
