(FW-24) J. Norris Vallow &  Jessie (Backensto) Vallow - 30th anniversary

 

“The Kinmundy Express” – July 5, 1973

“J.N. VALLOW Goes Into Retirement as of June 30th, after Fifty-Four Years”

“J.N. VALLOW, who has been publisher of ‘The Kinmundy Express’, retired as of June 30th  after rounding out 54 years and seven months as printer, editor and publisher, all in the Kinmundy Express plant.

Mr. VALLOW worked in the plant one year before purchasing it, and one year and six months after selling it.

The newspaper was purchased from the late J. Lem BALLANCE Dec. 1, 1921, and sold Jan. 1, 1972 to Rudolph D. SLANE, who had been the shop foreman for the past 15 years.  The agreement was that Mr. VALLOW continue in the employ of Mr. SLANE until such time as Mr. SLANE was fully acquainted with the business.  Mr. VALLOW feels that the time has arrived when he should step aside for the younger generation. 

Besides publishing ‘The Kinmundy Express’, which was founded in 1883, Mr. VALLOW has founded and published ‘The Marion County Farmer’, official organ of the Marion County Farm Bureau; ‘The Newsletter’, official publication of the Illinois Gideons.  The firm also published ‘The Southern Illinois Methodist’ for several years.  This publication was edited by Dr. Earl C. PHILLIPS, with a circulation of  more than 50,000, going to the church members of the Southern Illinois Conference of the Methodist Church.

Since January, 1935, he has written a personal column titled “ZATSO”.  In 1970, he received an award for “ZATSO” by the Southern Illinois Editorial Association as being the best column in its class.  This column will be terminated this week after No. 2,000 has been published.

            Mrs. VALLOW passed away May 19, 1969.  There are three children: Joseph G., a commercial photographer, Minonk, Ill.; Annette (PAGANO), a housewife in St. Ann, Mo., and a registered nurse employed by the St. Charles, Mo., hospital; and Carl B., superintendent of the American Can Color Food Carton Printing Plant in Chambersburg, Pa.  There are thirteen grandchildren, five of whom are married, and three great grandchildren.

            Now what is Mr. VALLOW going to do?  Just what can a man do who has been here for almost three-fourths of a century?  He intends to spend a good deal of his time traveling, what with loved ones being scattered from ocean to ocean, and will endeavor to keep the home fires burning in Kinmundy.

            Some say, “Once a man, twice a child”.  He says he is enjoying his second childhood because at the present, he is enrolled for the summer term in Kaskaskia Junior College, ‘majoring’ in history, something he knows a lot about.”

(Jesse Norris “J.N.” Vallow passed away on Dec. 23, 1975.)

(FW-28) Henry Warren  (1845-1926)                                Henry Warren (circa 1925)

 

Henry Warren in Kinmundy.

            Prof. JHG Brinkerhoff includes a biographical sketch of Henry WARREN on pages 273-277 of his “History of Marion County, IL” (1909).

            After serving in the American Civil War and later accompanying his father to Texas in search of economic opportunity, Henry WARREN returned to Kinmundy to settle and raise a family.  As Brinkerhoff describes, WARREN began as a hired hand, saved enough to rent acreage, and eventually purchased and improved his own land.  By the time of Brinkerhoff’s writing, Henry WARREN owned a farm of 800 acres and also owned considerable commercial and residential properties in the city.

            In 1897, at the age of 52, he opened the Warren Banking Co. in some of his property in downtown Kinmundy, and ran the bank for a decade or more through periods of financial panic until it was destroyed by fire.  By this time, Mr. WARREN was ready to retire as a prominent citizen and successful businessman.

            Henry WARREN was also a family man.  In 1867, at the age of 22, he married Mary NICHOLS of Kinmundy.  Together they had three sons (William, Harry, and Charlie) before Mary died in 1903 at the age of 36.  In 1906, Henry WARREN married Ida SHRIVER, a member of the family that contributed SHRIVER as a place name to Kinmundy history.  They had one daughter, Mary Margaret WARREN, born in 1908.  Henry WARREN died in 1926 and was buried in Gray Cemetery.

            Mary Margaret WARREN married Eugene SHUFELDT and they maintained a family farm on Kinmundy Road, a mile south of the city.  In addition to being involved in many civic activities, Mrs. SHUFELDT taught at Kinmundy Elementary School.

            The family knows she would approve most heartily of the efforts of the Kinmundy Historical Society and we add our own appreciation for all the efforts.  We hope that Henry WARREN’s musket can be part of the collection.

(FW-6)   Simeon Wright

"In the fall of 1865 a new four-room frame building was erected on the site of the present high school. This opened in October, with Prof. Simeon Wright, ex-soldier of the Civil War, as principal. He came from Bloomington, Illinois."   ("Kinmundy Centennial Booklet - "Kinmundy - Railway to Thruway; 1857 - 1957")

From his descendant, James Blodgett, here is some additional information.   "Simeon Wright was a    Quartermaster, 33rd Regiment, Kinmundy (Marion County) and Private, Company D, 54th Regiment, Mason, (Effingham County).  He is buried at the Riverside Cemetery, Sterling, Whitesides County, Illinois.  He apparently had a Society and Building named after him at the Illinois Normal College in Bloomington (now Illinois State University) after his death in 1876.    Simeon Wright apparently bought his first piece of land in Section 21 of Kinmundy Township from W.T. and Melinda Sprouse in 1859 and his estate land was sold to Tilman Racer in 1878."
