Allen and Elizabeth Suggs. Born & died at Eminence. Married Sarah Jane Laxton. (She is buried at Massie

Thomas Allen and another unknown person were killed by Jayhawkers on
Mahan Creek They were found by local residents and buried next to Mahan
Creek. I don't know if this was first burial here or not. Graves were
only marked by field stone and later pine posts until 2001 when regular
headstones were placed. Thomas Allen served with the Missouri State
Guard during the Civil War. Don't know if he was on active duty at the
time of death.

A SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF
D. C. REED.....
Hon. D. C. Reed, who passed into the spirit world at
his home in Winona on the 13th inst., was a man well and favorably known
throughout Southeast Missouri in general and Shannon County in particular as
his is a record dating from the antebellum days into and through the War of
the Rebellion and down to, and including, the election of 1902.
Deceased
was born in Roan County, Tennessee, June 8th, 1828, and lived to pass his
75th mile post.
At an early age he came with his parents to Shannon,
then Ripley County, where he continued to reside the principal part of his
life.
In 1852 he was chosen by the people of his county to serve in the
capacity of Sheriff and Collector and was elected to the same position in
1854; two years later he was elected Representative, defeating Hon. Joshua
Chilton.
He served as Captain of a Company in the Regiment of Colonel
Boone under the control of the celebrated Jeff Thompson until 1863 when poor
health procured his discharge and he returned home and remained with his
family until the close of the Rebellion.
In 1866 Mr. Reed was given the
Office of Assessor and the voters in 1878 again chose him as their
representative.
When in March, 1873, Presiding Judge Thomas Chilton
passed over the dark river, Mr. Reed was appointed to fill his unexpired
term.
In the year 1888, Presiding Judge Hezekiah Weaver resigned his
position and removed from the state, and Gov. Francis appointed Mr. Reed to
fill out his unexpired term ending Dec. 31st, 1890.
Since residing at
Winona, he served in the capacity of both Marshall and Mayor, and made a
hard contest for the Office of Representative in 1902.
He married twice,
in early life to a Miss Fansher, and his last wife was a Miss Baker; both
preceded him to the spirit world and out of a large family he has three sons
and two daughters yet living.
His remains were laid to rest at the old
family burial ground at his old home on Current River under the auspices of
the Masonic Fraternity of which he was an honorable and highly respected
member. ~ Joshua Sholar
