As Time Goes By
From the desk of the Editor
BY DAVID EALES EDITOR
All yesteryears are reprinted in the exact text of the original issue
appeal@parismo.net
On To State! It was my distinct pleasure to ride the bus to the Sectional Quiz Bowl match with the players and coaches. Brenda Ensor is a super coach! She made sure that the players had lunch and then had exercise time to get their brains and bodies flowing with energy. She brought along a disc golf goal and numerous disks. The students had a blast after eating practicing their disc golf skills or lack thereof. A big thank you was sent to the FCA for the wonderful lunch by the all the team members! Could this have been the reason that they dominated their sectional match and are heading to state competition? Maybe! Maybe not! But I am sure it helped. The Quiz Bowl team consists of the following players: Teddy Ebbesmeyer, Ben Ebbesmeyer, Nic Thomas, Dakota Anderson, Amber Chapman, Patrick Ensor and Zack Ensor. Suzy Otto is an amazing Assistant Coach. Additional team members include junior varsity members Robyn Batsell, Tanner Anderson and Mary Stahlschmidt – the team of our future. Just like any other sport the team has numerous practices and matches. Quiz Bowl is sort of like Jeopardy except you do not have to answer in the form of a question. The four person teams are given questions and each has a buzzer to ring in when they have an answer. There are a certain number of single questions and then there are questions that have two bonus questions attached. When a team answers a question they then get the bonus questions. If they fail to answer either question the other team can “steal the answer.” Each answer is worth 10 points and the
DAVID EALES
teams play 50 questions a match. Question subjects include math, science, fine arts, literature, etc. Sample Question: What ship took Charles Darwin to the Galapagos Islands? (Answer at end of article) The Paris Sectional fab four, Teddy, Ben, Dakota and Nic cleaned up in the first match and led 70-50 at the first quester break; led 140-130 at the half; led 200170 after three quarters and won the match 320-250. The only time in the match that the Paris team trailed was after the first question. They never trailed again. In the second match, the same team members led 60-40; 170-140; 230-210 and won the match and the sectional and moved on to state with a 330-290 win. In an exciting finish, ahead by only 20 points with five questions left – Teddy answered a question correctly. Nic answered one bonus question correctly and Dakota Anderson answered the next bonus correctly for a 50-point lead. Ben answered the next question correctly and Paris surged to a 60-point lead. The teams traded remaining questions securing Paris their sectional title and their trip to STATE!!! Thank you to coaches Ensor and Otto for their time, enthusiasm and dedication in support of our future. Good luck Paris Coyotes at state! Have a great week!
MY TURN A Look At Why They Do It
When we watch the news stories from Baltimore, New York and other cities where people are in the streets, it is hard to believe there is not more than one reason for the demonstrations, the damage and the coverage. For many marchers there was at least at first the desire to know how a young unarmed prisoner died and who was responsible for his death. For others, changes in the operations and practices of Baltimore police officers was their stated goal. Yet others wanted to “take back their city” whatever that meant. The mostly young people who were looters and arsonists didn’t come forward to give a personal reason for their action but were excused by some in the community because of frustration, anger and lack of opportunity. They were therefore not criminals and certainly not “thugs” by their actions. The mostly liberal press, by whom and how they told the story, were aiming at root causes of discontent such as low income levels, lack of jobs, decaying housing and continuing racial bias. In Ferguson, the coverage of police actions there
were for the most part for the local press’s desire to abolish small communities in St. Louis County and have the county take them over and then join with the City of St. Louis. For those of us that are away from the actual demonstrations and violence there is a multitude of reasons and voices of anger and concern heard but almost total rejection of the violence and criminal action and little motivation to join in any demonstrations, peaceful or not. The truth is that some rogue cops will be brought to trial, police will change some of their ways of doing business and more opportunities may be available to African-Americans in many ways. But major changes in predominately AfricanAmerican cities and parts of cities will be political and therefore slow and based on perceived needs and available funds, as it always is. All of us and our kids and grandkids can be part of the solution or part of the problem. So in their more visible ways are the demonstrators and those who would resort to criminal acts.

40th District Representative Capitol Report
by Rep. Jim Hansen
Eminent Domain and Private Utilities (HB 1027) Following the failure to adopt HB 1027 by the Energy and Environment Committee, I’m sure some feel the issue has been settled. But it has not. After visiting with committee members, I learned that some believe the issue should be decided by the Public Service Commission. To me, this issue is bigger than the Public Service Commission and it is not just about Clean Line. The real issue is answering the question: should any private utility company have the right to eminent domain in Missouri without meeting the guidelines established for the utility companies that serve Missouri citizens? The next step will be to meet with all parties involved who were in support of HB 1027. We will review the situation, follow the Public Service Commission’s hearings very closely, and develop a strategy. From a legislative standpoint, this will include filing a new bill next session if necessary. Again, the goal is to protect Missourians’ private property rights. Together we can reach a solution that is satisfactory to everyone involved. Thanks to all the folks in Ralls County, Monroe County, and across the state who travelled to Jefferson City to testify in favor of HB 1027. I certainly appreciate the support of Block Grain Belt Express Missouri, Missouri Farm Bureau, Missouri Landowners Alliance, Show Me Missouri Landowners, Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, and the Missouri Dairy Association. I look forward to continue working with all of you on this issue that has tremendous impact on all Missouri citizens and their rights. Bills As the members of the House completed the third to last week of the 2015 legislative session, bill activity hit a fever pitch with more than 50 pieces of legislation moving through the chamber. To date, the House has given final approval to more than 250 House bills and sent them to the Senate. In comparison, the Senate has approved nearly 130 Senate bills and sent them to the House. Of all the bills moving back and forth between the two chambers, more than 30 have made it out of the General Assembly and to the governor’s office. House Moves to Better Prepare Students for Success in College (SB 172) The House gave approval this week to a wide-ranging education bill that includes a provision to better prepare Missouri high school students for success in college The bill would require school districts to develop a policy and implement a system for identifying students in their ninth grade year who are at risk of not being ready for college-level work or for entry-level career positions. Students would be provided with academic and career counseling prior to graduation to ensure they are able to graduate prepared and on time. In addition, the state education department would recognize school districts that develop individualized personal plans of study to meet the needs of seventh grade students. Each plan would include the requirements for graduation, the student’s career or postsecondary goals, coursework related to the goals, and career-related experiences. Supporters said the provision addresses the need for remediation in Missouri. They noted that 38.7 percent of high school graduates need a remedial course in English or Mathematics during their freshman year in college. The bill will help the state to implement steps to ensure that students graduate from high school on time and ready. House Members Act to Let Voters to Decide the Fate of Red Light Cameras (HB 207) The House sent legislation to the Senate this week that would allow Missouri voters to decide whether to ban red light cameras. The legislation, which received strong bipartisan support, would put a question before Continued to page 7

Stoutsville FANS 10 get together May 2 R-II classes work with Conservation
Stoutsville FANS got together Saturday at the Community Center in Stoutsville and renewed some feelings of by-gone days. Despite the rain, there was a fairly good turnout. We would always like to see more but realize some have other interests too. We had an enjoyable time viewing pictures and news clippings as well as authentic items that showed some historical life in the grand old town. As always, a good time was had by all and no one went away hungry. Always there
seems to be and abundance of food. Is that just a Stoutsville thing or do others receive that blessing too? It was the general feeling that there is a desire for another in the fall, so we have tentatively set a gathering on either October 25 or the 31st. One of the items of interest to me, especially, was a sale bill from way back when or a bank in Stoutsville selling mortgages, notes, as well as debts owed the bank. It was just one of many items that could stir your interest in the way life used to be in Stoutsville.
On Saturday, May 23 a History/Archaeology Workshop will be held at the Monroe City Senior Nutrition Center. It will begin at 8 a.m., with enrollment followed by an explanation of how you can find unmarked graves, sites of early houses and other buildings including native American structures and other things “without digging”. Each person will make a set of tools to use while surveying. The group will then drive 15 miles to Mark Twain’s Uncle John Quarles’ historic site where they will receive hands-on training and then drive another four to five miles to the Mark Twain Park where they will receive training on a prehistoric native American site. From there the group will return to the Senior Center for a wrapup session and lunch. The workshop will be taught by Karen Hunt a local teacher-historian-
archaeologist who has a master’s in anthropology from Indiana University. Ms. Hunt recently published a book “E-M P-F: Archaeology Without a Shovel”. She has taught workshops on this subject throughout the United States and in other countries, Canada, Australia, and Czechoslovakia . These techniques are now being used in England. Memorial Day will soon be here and this is an opportunity to have a family outing while learning something new. There is a fee for the workshop which includes lunch. All money collected over expenses will go to the Nutrition Center to provide meals for the elderly. The cost is $20 for individuals $30 for couples and $5 each for children. Children must be at least 10 years old to participate. Participants should wear comfortable clothes and shoes for walking and a hat.

In the last month, both Ms. Elicia Hickman’s Conservation and 8th grade Exploratory Ag Class have been working with the Department of Conservation. In Conservation, the class has been learning about different wildlife, their habitats, and hunting laws and regulations to go with each species. (Top) Pictured is Wyatt Burnett with his first turkey of the season. He brought this turkey in for the class to get first hand experience with wild turkey. It is because of acts like these, that students are presented with real world applications in the field of agriculture. This semester, the 8th grade Exploratory Class

is composed of girls only. All of the girls have been learning about the importance of hunter safety, ethics, laws and regulations. Students were also presented the opportunity to work with Park Ranger David McCorkell, where they were able to apply and demonstrate these safety procedures. By the end of the week the goal is for all of the girls to pass the Missouri Hunter Education Safety Test.

voters asking if Missouri law should be changed to prevent local governments and state agencies from utilizing automated traffic enforcement. Supporters of the idea say red light cameras are used as revenue generators and do little to improve safety at the intersections where they are deployed. Opponents contest that claim and say the cameras do improve safety and reduce traffic accidents. If approved by the Senate, the bill will go before voters in 2016. The Missouri Supreme Court is currently considering multiple cases challenging both red light and speed enforcement cameras. Governor Signs Supplemental Appropriations Bill (HB 14) One piece of legislation signed by the governor this week authorizes approximately $250 million in supplemental spending for the current budget. The bill was approved a few weeks ago by the House with bipartisan support and provides necessary funding for education and programs that assist some of Missouri’s most vulnerable citizens. Some of the funding items contained in the bill include: • More than $7 million for public education, primarily for early childhood special education and the school district trust fund; • More than $11 million in funding for services for abused and neglected children who are in protective custody of the state through the foster care system; • More than $4 million for staff providing direct care services for Missourians receiving treatment at Department of Mental Health facilities, • More than $41 million for In-Home Services for seniors and Missourians with disabilities through the Department of Health and Senior Services, and • More than $5 million for programs assisting the blind through the Department of Social Services. As the legislature looks ahead to the final two weeks of session, the number of bills sent to the governor will increase dramatically as House bills come back from the Senate and conference committees are held. Already, the governor has signed bills to revitalize the state’s dairy industry; attract new data center facilities and jobs; and generate new revenue by providing a period of tax amnesty to delinquent taxpayers. In the coming weeks, he will have the opportunity to sign, or veto, many more pieces of legislation including the state operating budget, unemployment reform, welfare reform and medical malpractice reform, as well as many other bills that will cross the legislative finish line before session ends on May 15. I appreciate all the support I’ve received from residents of the 40th District. As always, feel free to contact my office with any questions or concerns you may have.

CHURCH NEWS
Services at Holliday Christian Church were held on May 3, with Jane Akers, organist, calling all to worship with the prelude. All were welcomed by Reverend David Holmes. The congregational meeting will be held following services on Sunday, May 10. No Bible Study will be held following church that day. Happy birthday wishes were for: Dru Holmes, J. D. McMorris, Jessie Putnam and Rod and Cathy Gremaud’s daughter, Leah. The opening hymn, “How Firm A Foundation”, was followed by pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri. Held up in prayer were: Pete and Margaret Olney, Ann Ragsdale, Gerald Roberts, Larry Parrott, Bill Heathman, Mike McLaughlin, David Menefee and Cathy Gremaud’s, Aunt Grace. Ann Ragsdale shared the joy of seeing the girls in beautiful dresses with handsome escorts at the Paris Prom and the fun night of games and prizes which followed. “I Must Tell Jesus” was the prayer hymn sung; pastoral prayer and recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed. The communion hymn, “Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart”, was sung. Sandy Callison and Carole Roberts, elders, went forward during the final verse to serve at the Lord’s Table. Diaconate were: Sally Blakemore and Diane Wilson. Sharing of communion and offering collection closed the communion portion of the service; followed by the doxology. Scripture from John 15:1-8 was read for reference to the morning’s sermon, “Pruning the Vines”. Jesus is the vine, God is the vine grower and we are all branches. Pruning of the branches is essential to promoting new growth and fruitfulness. Being productive upon pruning shapes us into the image of Jesus. Success after pruning shows the world the results of Jesus’ power through our lives. The congregation stood to sing the closing hymn, “Make Me a Channel of Blessing”. Singing was followed by prayer and “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship. Following a time of fellowship and to enjoy refreshments, Jim McMorris opened Bible Study with prayer. Mendy Blades read “The Gospel is Powerful” from “365 Things God Wants Us to Know”. A reading entitled “I’m Invisible” was shared by Diane Wilson. The group was then led by Jim in the study of Romans Chapter 11. Services begin are held at 9:30 a.m., each week at Holliday Christian Church. All are welcome.

When you become weary in your ministry, consider Jesus. It’s not our ministry, it’s Gods, we are His tools. It’s God’s will, not ours, get excited about your ministry.

an Church hristi C e ill G r anv Pastor Fran Schnarre Granville Christian Church celebrated Mother’s Day a week early, on Sunday, May 3, at 11 a.m. worship. Mothers of all ages were recognized. Our interactive sermon was “When Jesus Disappeared,” which we told with the help of a balloon launch. Our adult sermon was: “Into Thin Air,” Acts 1:9-11. Next worship Sunday is May 17. Sermon: “The Explosion.” The Granville Church annual congregational meeting was held before worship last Sunday. The congregation approved new bylaws for the church. The bylaw committee, Rick Baldwin, Pearl Magruder, Rodney and Brenda Coffman, Larry James, Harold Wilson and Pastor Fran worked since last November with Ken Brickman to create the document. We also elected deacons and elders and officers for the 2015-16 church year:. Officers are: Pearl Magruder, chair; Kathy Miller, vicechair; Jessica Livers secretary: Dale Ann Magruder; Rodney Coffman; trustee. Elders elected or re-elected for a three-year term are: Barb Shumard, Melinda James, Pearl Magruder and J.C. Shumard. Deacons elected or re-elected are: Ron James, Judy Wilhoit and Rick Baldwin. A craft show will be held May 23 at the Madison Community Center to benefit Relay. This is the same day as the all-town garage sale. Crafters, please contact Lacey Shumard for more information. We have cookbooks available, with the proceeds going to Relay for Life. Contact Dale Ann Magruder for those. We have now sent a total of 185 care packages to servicemen and women in the combat zones since 2002. Please contact Brenda Coffman with names and addresses. There are funds available to send quite a few packages. Come spend an hour in worship and praise of the One who created you and constantly re-creates you (17 and 31, June 7 and 21). Sunday School is held at 10 a.m., every Sunday and communion follows on the weeks when we do not have worship services.
Services Sunday, May 3 began with Patti Grimmet playing “Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty” on the piano followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading in prayer for Tish; Sharon Sweitzer; Martha Hill; earthquake victims in Nepal; the Jim Bob Horton family and praises for Margaret Birlew retirement with all saying the Lord’s Prayer and the Responsive Reading from Psalm 27. Debbie Carey led in song to “Brethren We Have Met to Worship”, “O How I Love Jesus”, “More Like the Master”, and “Blest Be the Tie That Binds”, with Patti singing “People Need the Lord”. Pastor John led the Communion and Max Tilt led the Offertory as Patti played “For the Beauty of the Earth”. The Message “The Greater Things” was based on scripture from John 14:11-14 where Jesus means are the greater things. In His miracles, Jesus is unique. He is the only one who can calm the storms, raise the dead, walk on water and die for you and for me. He is the only one who can get us to heaven. What do you think Jesus would do if He were here? Spend time walking on water? Or healing broken hearts? Feeding the Hungry? or Helping the Lost to find their way? There are things we - you and I can do... Mother Teresa’s definition of a missionary was love! Allowing God to use her. You can do even the smallest of things - God is the God of all of us! Follow God - where ever He leads you - allow the Holy Spirit to come into your heart. Stop worrying about the big things and tackle the problems next door... Teach me how to live O Lord! South Fork is located seven miles west of Perry on Hwy. 154 then 2 miles south on blacktop E with services held every Sunday at 9 a.m., where everyone is invited to come hear the word of the Lord.
David Charlick gave the invocation and Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Brenda Ensor played “Be Strong on the Lord” for the Personal Worship Moment. Mark and Courtney Bell led children’s church. The adult choir directed by Cheryl Gholson sang a medley, “Jesus I Come”. Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was titled “When Satan Comes to Church” from Act 4:32 - 5:11. Satan desires to be in charge of our life, especially when God’s activity is in our life. When we seek God with all our heart we receive more blessings, however, there are risks. We should not be untruthful or have ulterior motives. In the early church all the believers were as one led by the Holy Spirit to share everything. Some sold their lands and houses. Barnabas sold a field and brought the money to the apostles’ feet. However Ananias and Sapphira sold property but kept back part of the money. Peter asked “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit...” Later Sapphira also was untruthful. They both were immediately struck dead.

Sharon Martin gave a Children’s Message. Congregational Hymns were “God Will Take Care of You,” “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” “Let us Break Bread Together,” “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus,” and “The Family of God.” Others participating in the service were: Worship Leader Clint Chandler; Elders Carroll Blackwell and Alice Baker; Diaconate Amy McGinness, Dede Mitchell, Jane Callis, and Karla Harrison; Acolyte Emily Vaughn; Song Leader Mary Beth Mitchell; and Pianist Vanessa Forrest. Carol Comstock celebrates a birthday this week.

We extend the Good News of God’s Love through our worship, education, and service to each other, our family, friends, and community. Everyone is welcome to Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. and Worship at 10:45 a.m. Thought for the week from Henry Blackaby: Will God ever ask you to do something you are not able to do? The answer is yes – all the time! It must be that way, for God’s glory and kingdom. If we function according to our ability alone, we get the glory; if we function according to the power of the Spirit within us, God gets the glory. He wants to reveal Himself to a watching world.
The May 3 worship service at the Perry Christian Church began with the choir singing “There’s Something About That Name”. Pastor Nancy Kellstrom gave the welcome. The children will be presenting a Mother’s Day Special next Sunday. “All In All” was the Praise Hymn. Marj Schutte, Donald Broyles, Nana Smith, JoAnne Bumgarner will have birthdays this week. “Breathe On Me, Breath of God” was the Prayer Hymn. Pastor Nancy gave the Communion Meditation before we sang “Let Us Break Bread Together”. Joyce Coleman and Greg Harrison offered the elder’s prayers. Nancy Seelow, LouAnn Hetrick, David and Wyatt served as deacons. The choir’s special was “Fairest Lord Jesus”. The Children’s Moment was given by Jeannie Gay. She showed them how a light needed to be plugged into an outlet before it would shine, just as they needed to be ‘plugged’ into Jesus to let their light shine 1 John 4:7-21 was read by Ronnie Cragen befor the pastor’s sermon on “What’s Love Got To Do With It”. One meaning of love is Christian love where we share a personal responsibility to ‘love one another’. “Pass It On” was the Invitation Hymn with the Benediction charge that we are called to open ourselves to God’s love so we can share His open love with others. Singing “God Be With You ‘Til We Meet Again” closed the service.

Madison Panthers sweep Marion County and Higbee Madison had a two game winning streak as they defeated Marion County 13-9 and then blanked Higbee 14-0. Marion County Madison hit the ball early and often as they plated five runs in the first inning. The Panthers got off quickly when Dustin Ketchem walked, was sacrificed to second by Dylan Apel and scored on a Tyler Bennett double. Bennett stole second base and scored on a Jacob Wandrey liner. Blaine Love kept the hit parade going with a single, Ricardo Gonzalez singled in a run and Austin Freels added an RBI on a fielder’s choice. Madison added another couple runs in the second when Dylan Apel singled and stole second and scored on another Tyler Bennett double. Bennett moved to third on a groundout and scored on a Love fielder’s choice. The third inning saw Marion County close the gap with a five spot but Madison scored anther 2 in the bottom of the frame to lead 9-5. Freels singled and scored on a Nick Craigg ball that was booted by Marion County. Ketchem walked and scored to make the score 9-5. In the fourth Marion County added 2 but Madison added 4 as Bennett led of the ining with a liner to right, stole second and third and scored on a Love single. Gonzalez was hit by a pitch as was Freels and Craigg ripped a single to plate 2 and the Panthers led 13-7. Marion County added two more runs but it was not enough and Madison took the contest 13-9. Dylan Apel started the game and was the winning pitcher while Jacob Wandrey came in to pitch
in relief in the fifth inning for the save. Higbee Blaine love pitched a masterful game allowing only 2 hits and striking out 10 in his win versus Higbee. Offensively, in the first inning, Dylan Apel singled, stole second and Tyler Bennett drove him home with a double for what was the winning run. Bennett was driven in by Jacob Wandrey and Wandrey scored on a sacrifice fly by Blaine Love. Hitting versus Higbee were Dustin Ketchem 1, Dylan Apel 2, Tyler Bennett 3 (3 doubles), Jacob Wandrey 2, Blaine Love 2, Ricardo Gonzalez 2, Skyler Love 1 and Nick Craigg 2. RBIs – Ketchem 1, Apel 1, Bennett 1, Wandrey 1, Blaine Love 3, Gonzalez 1, Skyler Love 1, Austin Freels 1. Scoring runs: Ketchem 1, Apel 2, Bennett 3, Wandrey 3, Blaine Love 2, Skyler Love 1, Craigg 1 and Freels 1. “Earlier in the week we were very frustrated offensively against Paris and LaPlata,” said Coach Bryant Jones. “Despite having several runners on base in both games and out hitting LaPlata 9-4 we couldn’t get any runs on the board. Our guys were trying to force it a bit with runners in scoring position. Wednesday at practice I told them I wasn’t worried about our offense and didn’t even take batting practice. We
had 9 hits against a good LaPlata pitcher and several more hard hit balls that were right at people. Thursday and Friday we came out calm and confident and tried to keep things as simple as possible. We jumped out on Marion 7-0 and had a chance to take control of the game and put them away in the third but we didn’t have that killer instinct. I thought we let up a little with our mental focus and that led to couple of errors on routine plays. Moving forward we have to do a better job of closing out teams when we get them down like that. I was really impressed with some of our seniors who stepped up and finally led us emotionally. In the past when teams would get up on us or come back on us we’d get frustrated, make excuses, and let things get out of control. The guys who are supposed to be our leaders didn’t allow themselves or their teammates to do that and I think that’s going to be big in districts. In the postseason the teams that can handle the pressure of “win or go home” games and control their emotions end up being the most successful.” The Panthers travel to Knox County on Thursday, May 7 and to Harrisburg on Monday, May 11. They finish the regular season hosting Van-Far on Tuesday, May 12. Then they host districts later in the week.

Paris R-II students attend Civil War Archives Alive!
Secretary of State Jason Kander recently welcomed elementary students from Paris R-II to Civil War Archives Alive!, an educational program offered annually by the Missouri State Archives in Jefferson City. “Civil War Archives Alive! is an engaging and interactive experience that provides a new way for students to discover Missouri’s vibrant history,” Kander said. “It is great to watch these students enjoy learning about important events from our state’s past.” Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the 40-minute performance takes students on a journey back in time to experience life
in Missouri in the 1860s. With the help of humorous game show hosts and their “Blast from the Past” time machine, the students’ educational adventure begins with a visit from presidential time traveler Abraham Lincoln. As the Union’s commander-in-chief, Lincoln addresses the conflict’s national aspects, but also focuses on Missouri’s particular role as a turbulent border state. In its entirety, Civil War Archives Alive! draws students in to learn more about historic Civil War figures of Missouri and the experiences of slaves, civilians and soldiers as they lived through warfare and its aftermath. The students from
Paris R-II join more than 5,800 other fourth-, fifthand sixth-grade students from across the state this year in experiencing this unique educational opportunity, which is often followed by a tour of the Missouri State Archives. Civil War Archives Alive! is sponsored by the Friends of the Missouri State Archives with assistance from Hawthorn Bank and the Eldon Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Financial assistance for this project has also been provided by the Missouri Humanities Council, with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
