Transcription of Letter from John W. McClaskey to a neice.
J.W. McClaskey was a grandson of John McClaskey and Elizabeth Arbuckle. Son of
Samuel M. & Mary McClaskey. (he would be a great uncle to our grandma)
Fillmore, MO 4-1-42
Dear Niece & All,
Yours recieved and will say Grandfather McClaskey was Scotch and came to Mo.
from Salem, Ind. to Barry Co, Mo. There is old letters in the Bible addressed to
John McClaskey 1838 also a letter from the Babtist church dated 1837.
Grandmothers maiden name was Elizabeth Arbuckle. Nationality not known. Their
first child was born in 1821. Grandfather was a blacksmith, Farmer and stock
raiser, very religious, and interested in politics and all of the McClaskey's
were union men during the war. The Wardlows came to Mo. in the 30's from
Cincinnati, Ohio. They were what was known as Pennsylvannia Dutch. Mrs. Wade
thinks they were Germans but I know they could not speak or understand German.
Grandmother's maiden name was Elizabeth Boyd of Scotch Decent. At the time they
came to Mo. they spun their wool wove the cloth and made their clothes and in
Ohio they made their sorgum from cane and the women of the early days were hard
workers or the Wardlow women were. Hope this will help you.
Emma Sinerly died a year ago last august. She had a number of strokes and after
you were here we thought she was going crazy. There are many deaths of old
people here. Buried 3 old friends in a week.
Would like to know how the mountain boy mine turned out. IT was NW of the
Montana Union depot on the east side of the Gutch. I helped to survey that mine
in 91. they hit a vein of silver on a mine 50 feet east of their min.
Hoping to hear from you again J.W. McClaskey
another transcribed letter not all here:
"... Butte all the early diggings.
I saw men that knew him they were mostly prospectors. I will send you a letter
referring to Polly Arbuckle & Uncle's James death. I would like you to return
them also Fathers commission as Lieutenant. I let Grandfathers bro. wife Joe Mc
have several letters. She was a Rayhill.
Your mother was born here on the old home farm as were the rest of us.
Grandfather bought this farm in 1854 and we have added 87 acre north of us the
old Allen Farm since you were here making 379 acres. Help is scarce here. There
is so many being drafted and noe to go. Hoping to hear from you again. I remain
JW McClaskey"

MILAN SETTLEMENT
A short distance northwest from Hill's Spring, in 1840, then was erected
a log cabin, known as the home of Armstead C. Hill, the first settler in
the vicinity of Milan. Mr. Hill first settled south of Milan about eight
miles, but was not wholly contented with his location, and sought to
better himself by the change, and thus became the first settler of the
division. Thomas Lane, John Baldridge, Esom Hannon, William Talley,
Joseph Couch, FRANCIS Drake, Donnel Doyle, Ira Sears and many others came
in 1840 and 1841, so that by the close of the last mentioned year the
Milan settlement had become the most important of any in the county. To
the north of Milan proper, and near what was afterwards named Jacksons
Corners, settled William and Branson Jackson, Samuel Rodgers, Hawkins
Harrelson, Jacob Mealman, John Needham and quite a number of others.
Hawkins Harrelston is still living and resides on or near his early home.
