EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE ON CORA MCGIBONEY CROW IN THE LICKING NEWS

...Cora Crow, fourth daughter of David and Hester McGiboney, was born five miles north of Licking, August 13, 1859. Her parents moved from Tennessee and the only means of transportation used in those days was the covered wagon drawn by oxen. The mcGiboney's left Tennessee in 1855 and crossed the Mississippi River on a ferry with three little children. They started to go to Arkansas, but decided after talking with a relative to come to Missouri, as the relative told them Missouri had good rich land, too. They stopped to camp and rest their team near the home of Mr. Jessie Ragland. Mr. Ragland went over to where they were camping to get acquainted and welcome them to Missouri. He wanted them to feel at home and he offered them a cabin where they could be more comfortable. Their acquaintance ripened into a friendship thath lasted through life. Mr. Ragland knew this country and persuaded Mr. McGiboney to stay, telling him he would look out for him a good location. They found a location Mr. McGiboney cleared a little land and built a cabin. Mr. and Mrs. Ragland found that Mrs. McGiboney was a school teacher. Long before the public school system came to be she taught what was known as Mental Arithmetic, grammar and History. There were four children from the Ragland family and several other children that attended school that term. After the school term closed Mr. McGiboney started to do some improving until the Civil War broke out. He enlisted August 9, 1862. He became ill and died on board the ship at Vicksburg, Mississippi on December 26, 1862, and was buried in a southern General's garden near the bank of the river. Mrs. McGiboney was left alone with five children, a yoke of oxen, a horse, cow and hog. She sold the oxen. She was faced with a very difficult situation. She had no one to turn to as her parents had passed on. So with all the courage she could muster, she had to plan a new life with her 13 year old son to help her. They planned on planting corn to feed the horse and cow and to make bread. During the Civil War days, one was lucky to be able to hang on to anything. As the barn was quite a distance from the house, Mrs. McGiboney decided that if she wanted her horse, she had better keep it near the house at night as things were being stolen from the farmers. She tied the horse with a halter and the rope ran through an auger hole in the door and fastened in the house, but to her surprise when she got up one morning, the rope had been cut in the night and her horse was gone. Her plans were all shattered. She also had one fat hog and a band of soldiers came along and took it. The chances for staying at home seemed impossible, so she got a woman to move her to Rolla, as nearly all of the men were in service. The only ones left were Uncle Jimmy Bradford and Uncle Dickerson Crow. They were wonderful to their neighbors and helped the women and children all that they could. When her son was large enough to run a farm, Mrs. McGiboney moved back again. She did beautiful needle work...

JOHN W. NICHOLS WAS ELECTED CAPTAIN OF COMPANY 'A' , FIRST REGIMENT OF INFANTRY, SEVENTH DIVISION, MISSOURI STATE GUARD OF CONFEDERATE ARMY.

REPORT OF BRIG. GEN. J. H. MCBRIDE, MISSOURI STATE GUARD (CONFEDERATE)

CAMP ON WILSON'S CREEK, AUG. 10, 1861

General: This morning a little after 6 o'clock, while at breakfast, I received orders from you to form my command in line. In a few minutes and before our line was formed the enemy's battery on the South opened on us. My command consisted of two regiments and a portion of a batallion attached to the First Regiment. The First Regiment, commanded by Colonel Wingo, numbered 300, rank and file; the Second Regiment, commanded by Colonel Foster, 305. Our camp at was on the West side of the road leading from Fayetteville to Springfield, and about half way between the crossing of the creek and Sharpes residence. From our camp we marched toward the high ground to the northwest and formed on the left of General Parson's battery. Some confusion accured here by the second regiment advancing too far West, breaking the connection between our line and the battery. the command proceeded West, crossing a small ravine and there formed behind a slight elevation, and then moved north, in which direction the enemy was supposed to be. Upon reaching the summit of the elevation, several shots were fired from the enemy's battery, which caused some confusion, but the line was again formed and followed by the same result; the men were easily rallied, however, and led to the summit of the ridge and delivered a well directed and effective fire in the enemy's ranks. Immediately after this a rumor pervaded the ranks that we had fired upon our friends. This rumor dampened the spirits of our men and produced a momentary indecision in their minds and those of their officers. We were relieved of this embarrassment by an order from yourself to move to the right. We recrossed the ravine and passing in rear of General Parson's battery, the Second Regiment passed to the extreme right and took position behind a bald knob and between the enemys and Woodruffs battery. Here a separation took place, the First Regiment taking position with some other command to the left of General Parson's battery, where they remained doing signal service until our efforts were crowned with victory. Colonel Foster, in gallantly leading a charge on the enemy's battery, was badly wounded by a canister - shot on the leg. Captains Nichols, Dougherty, Armstrong and Mings were wounded in leading their respective companies. We had in action 22 killed, 67 badly wounded and many others slightly, and from 6 to 10 mortally. Respectfully, your obedient servant,
                            J. H. McBride

EXCERPT FROM LETTER TO CAROL MCGIBONEY FROM BESSIE NICHOLS

       Grandfather taught school as well as held vocal music classes ( teaching shaped notes method ) as well as being Texas County Recorder of Deeds for four years after he lost the leg in the Battle of Wilson's Creek. When Cpt. Nichols lost his leg in this Battle, the leg was amputated ( without anaesthesia as they had none ) by giving him large amounts of whiskey and fellow soldiers holding him down. When he was able to return to Licking our grandmother, Margaret, came in a spring seated wagon with mattress and quilts in back, with one of grandfather's cousins ( Jefferson Deason ) and brought him home. No doubt it was a covered wagon, but I never heard that mentioned...

EXCERPT FROM " I REMEMBER " BY BESSIE ARNOT NICHOLS AND ALMA NICHOLS GROBE

       ...My very first memories are when I was just past two and still unable to talk plainly. I would go to Grandma and Grandpa Nichols house and he would drill me in sounding, especially the letter "w" or any other that I was slow in pronouncing. There was a reward when I at long last said it to his satisfaction. I remember that there was a very small stool or chair on which I sometimes sat and I was taught to be quiet ---- not move or talk --- until the hand of the mantle clock had gone to another spot. Grandpa had lost his leg in the Civil War and had a peg leg. He walked about a block to our house each day. I can't remember going home with him but I just know I was there many hours. I remember how much time Grandma devoted to making him comfortable and filling his days. He always taught penmanship to selected people and he liked to write himself. When he wanted something such as a drink of water, he would not call out to Grandmother, but would write her a note. Always I carried the note to her and she lost no time in complying with his request...
       ...Then I remember the charming, beautiful and bad little brother just two years younger than me. He had beautiful skin with cheeks deep pink and a head of ringlets. The curls were so tight that the tears rolled each time they were combed. One time, he went with me to the Nichols grandparents, climbed up in living room closet, filled both fists with all of Grandfather's hoarhound stick candy ( used for his cough ) and then rolled way under the bed with his eyes tightly closed. When Grandfather looked there, he asked, " Are you asleep?" Walter replied, " Uh - huh. " I can see him being pulled out with two fists full of candy.

       ...Grandmother was a seamstress and tailored men's clothing. She was paid $1. 25 per suit. That sounds awful, but at that time good land sold for .50 an acre. My mother always said that grandmother Nichols was the best woman she ever knew...

EXCERPT FROM " THIS I REMEMBER " BY BESSIE NICHOLS ARNOT

       ...Grandmother Nichols was a seamstress and a tailor. She contributed to the family income by tailoring men's clothes in the day time and sewing for her own family at night. When Grandpa recovered from his injury and had the peg leg fitted, he taught school and was also a voice teacher. Father was born after the Civil War and when he was four years old, his mother would send him to school with his father. They rode a horse with Papa in front and they held a basket in front that contained food for their lunches. Any of the older children walked to school. At age four, Father was placed on a front seat and given chalk and slate to scribble on or books to look at and he could listen to the older pupils recite. Grandma said it helped out to have one less child at home since she tried to sew all she could. She was paid $1. 25 for each suit she made...

PORTION BY ALMA NICHOLS GROBE

       ...My beloved Grandfather Nichols died shortly before I was old enough to go to school. I refused to look at him after he was dead but they took baby Blanche to see him and she reached out for him. Grandmother Nichols was small, thin and wrinkled but she raised the sheep, carded their wool, spun and dyed it before weaving it into cloth, cutting her own pattern and making Grandfather a suit. I remember that my oldest sister had a petticoat bordered with cut work that Grandmother had done...
