On 14 Sep 1939, the Kinmundy Express has, "Shortly after midnight on Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Lou ROTAN were awakened by smoke. They soon discovered their home on fire and spread the alarm. The whole upstairs was ruined by fire and downstairs ruined by the water. So the house is in awful shape. The ROTANs had just finished remodeling their home and now it is all to do over again. Just what caused the fire, no one will ever know. Some think it was defective wiring while others are of the opinion it was just spontaneous combustion. It was partially covered by insurance. On Monday evening, the Mike SEE home was discovered on fire, but not until the whole upstairs was ablaze. It spread very rapidly and was not long burning to the ground. Most of the contents were saved. From all appearance, this house caught fire from the flue. It is the opinion of several that a portion of the house might have been saved had the first well held up, but just when water was needed most, a change of wells had to be made. When it was seen the fire could not be brought under control, a call for help was sent to Farina, but they didn’t make it in time to do any good. Although we were thankful they came because it looked as though some of the neighboring homes would catch fire. The home was partially covered by insurance. As you know, Mr. SEE has been without eyesight for several years and has been in failing health for the past few years. They spent the night with Mrs. Alice MILLER and on Tuesday went to the home of Mrs. SEE’s brother, Mr. Ed HARRELL, east of this city, where they will remain until they can get their thoughts collected. Some of the citizens are criticizing our fire department to some extent. We do not think they should do this too strongly because we really do not have a fire department. There is absolutely no organization at all. Not even a chief to stand back and figure out the best means of combating a fire. It is true, our engine has seen better days, but it will still do a lot of good, providing it is put up in shape, which should be done without further delay. When it gets to the place where it has to pushed up a hill, it is time to do something about it. Our water supply is our greatest liability. The engine will do good enough work when it arrives on the scene providing the water supply holds out. But most all the wells are shallow and contain barely enough water for the owner’s use. Our suggestion is that the City Council see to it that the fire engine is put in good shape. And next, they should organize a volunteer fire department. They may not have much money on hands, but they could rake up enough for something like this."
On 1 Feb 1940, the Kinmundy Express has, "Michael H. SEE, died at his home in this city after an illness of several months duration, aged 83 years, 3 months, and 24 days. Services were held from the Linton Funeral Home with interment in Evergreen Cemetery. About 28 years ago, Mr. SEE had the misfortune of having the scaffolding under him break while at work on the old Baptist Church in the southwest part of town which injured his back and finally caused him to lose his eyesight.

On 19 Oct 1905, the Kinmundy Express has, "A Public Reception: Four years ago this October, Otis and Ellis SEE bade goodbye to friends and relatives and left to join the U.S. Navy. They served one year on the Training ship, and then they were transferred to the Battleship Oregon in which they remained the entire time with the exception of 56 days on land in the Philippines. They have certainly had a wonderful experience on the deep blue seas, and they know what it means "to pour oil on the troubled waters." They have distinguished themselves among a crew of 500 and won the praise of the Captain and navy officers and the respect of all of the friends and relatives. These young men have dreamed dreams and have realized the visions which appeared before young minds while other boys with less faith and nerve have kept on dreaming on what might happen. Upon their return the relatives and friends arranged to honor them with a reception which took place last Saturday, Oct. 14, 1905, at the Shriver School House. The people began to assemble as early as ten o’clock, and with them came all the good things of the land ready to be served in the fashion of a good old picnic. The number eating dinner, not counting Raymond CRAIG, was 87. After all had eaten a "sufficiency", even Charley SEE, the fragments were gathered up and the gathering which was increasing assembled themselves in the school house to listen to a program that had been hurriedly prepared. J. S. KNISELEY was asked to preside and he introduced the program by reading a poem written and composed by Rev. T. D. SPIKER and entitled "When the Kids Come Home", and although written for a "Thanksgiving dinner", was very appropriate for the occasion. The first speaker called was the Rev. T. D. SPIKER, who was once a Marion county boy and a teacher in the public schools. He assured all that he was proud of the fact and always had a warm feeling for the people of this county where he spent the best part of his life. The earnestness which characterized his address from start to close, captivated the audience, soul and body, and the only disappointed look that came to their faces was when he quit. Such lofty ideals and manly principles were not dwelt upon by the speaker half long enough. The next speaker called to the front was Hon. James COCKRELL who spoke earnestly upon the question of the duty of the American citizen. He emphasized the fact that the hero of the day and the hour is the man that stands upon principle and faces bravely the opposition, though he stands alone. Uncle Thos. POTTER cleared his throat and came to the front and said when he heard that the boys were gone he knew they would get back all right for, he said he had known the CRAIGS and SEES for over 50 years, and never knew of them undertaking anything and fail. Clayborn COCKRELL next arose and told a story of the Irishman and welcomed the boys home and would have them not to forget the honor the old pioneers who came to this country and worked to make it possible for us to enjoy all that we have today. Woodson LOVELL of Omega was next called upon and he came forward and contrasted the hardships of the old soldier in the Civil war with those who now enter the service of Uncle Sam. He soon became too full for utterance and went quickly to his seat. He was followed by O. SEE, Ed PARISH, and Mrs. W. H. SEE who made appropriate and touching remarks. In response to all these talks, James CRAIG, the grandfather of the boys, took the floor. His extreme old age and white hair though tall and straight for, commanded entire silence of the audience now packed in the school house. The effect was indescribable. Suffice it to say that "Uncle Jim" was one of the happiest men present and no one doubted that he did not feel every word that he uttered. We were also favored with a recitation by Miss Irene SEE. The meeting was adjourned by all joining in a song and the spirit that prevailed throughout the day shows how quick the people of Marion county are to recognize and honor true worth when exhibited by our boys and girls. We wish for these two boys, and we have a right to expect a happy and useful career now that they have ben made to realize the magnitude of the earth and some of the things in costume."
On 25 Apr 1907, the Kinmundy Express has, "SEE-MEREDITH: On Tuesday evening, April 16th, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. MEREDITH, five miles north of Farmer City, Ill., occurred the marriage of their daughter Ella, to Ellis L. SEE. The groom is the son of M. H. SEE of Kinmundy his mother having died some time ago. He is an amiable and industrious young man while the bride he has won belongs to a respected family of good character. The ceremony was performed at 8 o’clock by Rev. Lee Anna STARR of the M. P. church, Farmer City, in the presence of about 50 guests. Immediately after the congratulations, they were invited to surround the table and delicious refreshments were served. After supper the time was spent in witty conversation and merry laughter. The occasion was especially a novelty on account of day being the anniversary of the bride’s parents. The bride wore a pretty dress of white material and carried a beautiful bouquet of pink and white carnations while the groom wore the conventional black. At a late hour the guests departed for their homes wishing Mr. and Mrs. SEE, a happy and prosperous journey over the great sea of matrimony. They will reside with the brides’ parents for awhile and then expect to make Kansas their home. - Farmer City Journal."

Michael See
of
Marion County, Illinois
Michael SEE, born 18 Mar 1824, Mason County, Virginia (now West Virginia), son of Michael and Nancy (GREENLEE) SEE. Michael died 4 May 1904, Marion County, Illinois. Burial in Eastland Cemetery, Section 32 of Kinmundy Township, Marion County, Illinois.
Michael married 1st Elizabeth ALLMON 1 May 1848, Marion County, Illinois.
Michael married 2nd Nancy Jane CARRIGAN 7 Oct 1851, Marion County, Illinois. She was born 10 Dec 1835, Marion County, Illinois, daughter of Robert and Sarah "Sallie" (DAVIDSON) CARRIGAN. She died 21 Dec 1920, Kinmundy Township, Marion County, Illinois, the age of 89. Burial in Eastland Cemetery, Section 32 of Kinmundy Township, Marion County, Illinois. [Robert was was born in Kentucky and Sallie in Georgia.]
According to "Brinkerhoff's History of Marion County, Illinois," by Prof. J. H. G. Brinkerhoff - 1909, pages 177 and 179, CARRIGAN TOWNSHIP CARRIGAN township, named after the pioneer founder of the CARRIGAN family... Robert CARRIGAN, a Georgian, settled in 1830, on section 26. The father of Robert CARRIGAN settled in Clinton county in 1817, and Robert was the man who as a lad led the St. Clair Rangers across the country to the home of the older JENNINGS, when they rendezvoused at the Jennings homestead to drive out the Goings gang. He died in 1834, leaving a widow and three children, John S., Samuel R., and Nancy J. His widow afterward married a Mr. HUFF. In December following the death of Robert, his brother, James M. CARRIGAN, settled in this township. James M. raised a family of ten children, but all are now passed away, excepting one, William, who still resides in the township. John M. CARRIGAN married one of the DAVIDSON family and a few years ago his wife and Mr. HUFF were the three last representatives of pioneer days, but they now rest from their labors and their works do follow them, and may be seen in the happy homes of CARRIGAN.

Frederick See
of
Alma Township, Marion County, Illinois
Frederick SEE, born 17 Sep 1826, Point Pleasant, Mason County, Virginia (now West Virginia), son of Michael and Nancy (GREENLEE) SEE. Frederick died Jan 1892, Kinmundy Township, Marion County, Illinois.
Frederick married Virginia BARNETT 12 Dec 1849, Mason County, Virginia. She was born 15 Feb 1826, Virginia. Virginia died 4 Aug 1909, Kinmundy Township, Marion County, Illinois.

His personal property was valued at $500.00. All of the children were born in Iowa.
On 22 Jun 1880, the census shows Frederick (53) and Virginia (54) SEE living on Washington, in Kinmundy, Marion County, Illinois. They were living alone. He was a farmer.
In Jan 1892, the Kinmundy Express has, "Wedding of Edward COCKRELL to Edith DECKEY; death of Uncle Fred SEE, aged 66; death of Maggie HAMMERS SULLENS, aged 26; a son is born to A.M. ALLEN and wife; sudden death of Buckner WILSON, aged 58; Grandma SONGER, aged 86; John ROSS, 80; John MAGINNIS to Lizzie BROCKWAY; Henry DORR to Eunice WILLIAMS; death of John METZGER, aged 68."

On 19 Aug 1909, the Kinmundy Express has, "A Ripe Old Age: On Wednesday, Aug. 4, at 10 p.m., occurred the death of Aunt Virginia SEE, after an illness of about three weeks. Just before she was stricken, she left her home in Kinmundy and went to the home of her son, Henry W. SEE, which is about three miles from town. Soon after her arrival she was taken ill and continued to grow worse. The tender nursing of affectionate children could not stay the hand of the grim reaper and age and disease soon broke the brittle thread of life. To know Aunt Virginia was to love her; her genial disposition and the kind expression of her face won for her a host of friends. This is easily accounted for. At an early age, she gave her heart to Christ and all these years, he has been molding her character into the likeness of Himself. She united with the Baptist church in Virginia and remained loyal to it’s faith "unto the end", her membership, at the time of her death, being with New Harmony church of Alma, Illinois. Virginia BARNETT was born in Mason county, West Virginia, Feb. 15, 1826. On Dec. 12, 1849, she was married to Frederick SEE. To this union seven children were born; three of them having preceded their mother to the land of rest. The surviving children are: Mrs. Fannie HULTS, Kinmundy; Mrs. Nancy CORLEY, Lincoln, Mo.; Mrs. Lina PARTLOW, Odin, and Henry W. SEE of Kinmundy. Shortly after her marriage to Mr. SEE they moved to Wayne county, Iowa; after spending about fourteen years there they came to Marion county, where they remained except for one year spent in Missouri. Her husband died Jan. 4, 1892, since which time Aunt Virginia has made her home in Kinmundy. Her funeral was conducted at the home of her son, Friday, Aug. 6, at 10 a.m. by Rev. E. W. REEDER of Ewing, Scripture reading St. John xiv. Tx. 2d Tim iv: 7. The large concourse of people that gathered to pay their last respects to one who they had learned to love and respect is a far greater testimonial than tongue or pen can contribute."

Mary Frances "Fannie" SEE, born 25 Oct 1854, Corydon, Iowa, daughter of Frederick and Virginia (BARNETT) SEE. She died 21 Mar 1923, Kinmundy Township, Marion County, Illinois.
Fannie married Luster LeGrand HULTS 28 Oct 1874. He was born 4 Sep 1851, Alma Township, Marion County, Illinois, son of Samuel and Malinda (PRUETT) HULTS (See Hulse-Hults Family, Chapter 3, #3).

On 2 Dec 1909, the Kinmundy Express has, "Tuesday night a horse and buggy belonging to L. L. HULTS was stolen from the hitch rack in front of the Christian church. No trace of it has been found."
On 9 Dec 1909, the Kinmundy Express has, "Horse Thief Captured: On Tuesday night of last week L. L. HULTS had a horse, buggy, and harness taken from the hitch rack in Kinmundy and on Friday the entire rig was found in Finch’s livery barn in St. Elmo, and Henry C. MORGAN, the fellow who sold the rig to FINCH was landed in the Salem jail. MORGAN passed through here a few days prior to this theft with a horse and buggy that he tried to sell to several parties here and when he arrived at Salem he sold the entire outfit to Sam DAVIDSON. After he had sold the rig he went to the telephone and talked to a lady friend at Xenia and during the conversation he is said to have told her he would be over in a few days. According to MORGAN’s story he returned to his home near Shelbyville after selling the rig in Salem and spent a few days, then he returned to this city and got the HULTS rig and drove to St. Elmo arriving at that place about daylight Wednesday a.m. At St. Elmo he traded the HULTS horse for another horse and drew $20 and then sold the second horse for $10. On Friday MORGAN was captured by acting deputy Sheriff RUSSELL in Xenia and brought to Salem and placed in jail where he made a full confession of the disposed of both rigs, but he claims he did not take either of them. He says another fellow took HULTS’ rig from the rack and delivered it to him in the north part of town, and he also claims that he belongs to a bunch of fellows and the others got in debt to him and are paying him off in horses. This is a pretty good story to tell but what the jury will think of it we are unable to say, but it looks as if MORGAN was facing about two terms in the penitentiary. Mr. HULTS went to St. Elmo Friday night and got his stolen property arriving home early Saturday morning. Marion county offers a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of a horse thief and Mr. HULTS offered an additional reward of $25 and we understand the same reward was offered for the Shelbyville rig. If this is the case Deputy RUSSELL made $250 and at the same time probably put a stop to some more deeds of the same nature."

John Shull See, Jr.
of
Omega Township, Marion County, Illinois
John Shull SEE, Jr., born 21 Apr 1858, Kinmundy Township, Marion County, Illinois, son of John Shull and Mary J. (FRENCH) SEE (See Chapter 6). John died 12 Sep 1923.
John married Sarah Elizabeth "Sadie" WILKINSON 10 Oct 1883, Marion County, Illinois. Sadie was born 5 Sep 1861, daughter of Henry Clay and Harriet Ann (NICHOLS) WILKINSON. Sadie died 21 Jan 1944, Meacham Township, Marion County, Illinois. She is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Kinmundy, Marion County, Illinois.
In 1892, the Plat Book of Omega Township, Marion County, Illinois shows J. S. SEE owning 100 acres in Section 5.
On 15 Apr 1910, the census shows John S. (51) and Sadie E. (48) SEE living in Omega Township, Marion County, Illinois. With them were their children Hazel age 17; Edward age 14; John S. age 11; Eva age 5. Sadie had given birth to 6 children with 5 living at time of census. He owned his farm free of morgage.
On 1 Dec 1910, the Kinmundy Express has, "J. S. SEE Lost Hand: Tuesday afternoon, J. Shull SEE, residing seven miles southeast of this city met with a serious and painful accident while at work with a corn fodder shredder. The machine got out of order in some way and he was trying to adjust it when his right hand was caught and hacked and mangled so that it was necessary to amputate it above the wrist. The surgical work was performed by Drs. CAMERER and SONGER and he is getting along nicely. Only a short time before Mr. SEE met with his accident, J. M. SCHOOLEY, one of the owners of the machinery, had the misfortune to almost lose one of his fingers while working with the shredder. Two such accidents in one afternoon on one machine is certainly bad. Shredded fodder makes fine stock feed, but we are of the opinion that the shredders have caused more men to be crippled for life since their introduction than any other piece of farm machinery ever invented. It is a daily occurrence to hear of a man losing a finger, hand or arm in a corn shredder."
On 25 Jun 1914, the Kinmundy Express has, "J. Shull SEE, residing six miles southeast of this city, returned on Tuesday night from St. Louis where he had been for several weeks receiving surgical and medical treatment.

He married Sarah Elizabeth WILKINSON on Oct. 10, 1883 and they had 6 children, Oscar Clyde having preceded him in death. Shull had been a sufferer for almost a year.

She married John Shull SEE on Oct. 10, 1883, who died on Sept. 12, 1923.

He says: I have been intending to write to you for some time to thank you for the paper I receive every week. It seems that I never have time but at last it is in the mail or soon will be. Although it makes one a wee bit homesick, it is good to know what your friends are doing. Your Zatso column gives me hearty laugh and many a chuckle when I read it. So keep the good work up, even if the boys in the service do not all write you thanking you for it. I am sure they are all tickled pink to get the old Kinmundy Express. Tell all my friends hello for me."

On 28 Sep 1944, the Kinmundy Express has, "Omega: Mrs. Helen MILLICAN has received word that her husband, See MILLICAN, has arrived in New Guinea."
On 5 Oct 1944, the Kinmundy Express has, "Here’s one from PFC See MILLICAN, who is somewhere in New Guinea. He says: How is every little thing in good old Kinmundy? I don’t think New Guinea will ever amount to much as it is too far from Kinmundy. But laying all jokes aside, it is not too bad here. We have 6 men tents with good old terra firma for a floor and Army cots to sleep on. We also have a theater with a show every night. We use split coconut logs for seats. They have about as large crowds at the show as they do at the Salem Reunion. The dust here is about 5 times as thick as at the reunion too. I went on a pass today and I expect you wonder where a fellow could go in the jungle. I went down to the Red Cross and got some cold coke, the only place here where you can get a cold drink. We saw a number of natives in their colorful and abbreviated costumes. They are very friendly and greet you with a "Hello Joe, got a smoke?" and if you give one fellow the rest will devil the life out of you for a cigarette. We got a cocoanut but they cost you a florin, which is 32 cents in our money. They use Australian money entirely here. They even pay us here in Australia money. This week they gave us ration coupons for 3 bottles of beer and a carton of cigarettes. We can buy 2 candy bars a day when they have them at the PX. Also they let us have a package of gum. It must be pre-war stuff as it is wrapped in tin foil. All the comforts we have here we have to make ourselves. Wooden boxes serve as tables, chairs and writing desk. Wood and fountain pens, writing paper and pocket knives are scarce as hens teeth here. I doubt if you can read this as I am finishing it by candle light. I haven’t received a Kinmundy Express lately, but they will no doubt catch up with me sometime. In fact, I haven’t received any mail from the States since I left them. We had to take time out just now to rig up a couple of lamps to write by. We used our last candle so we had to get a couple of beer cans full of kerosene and put some rope in for a wick. You would be surprised at how much light they make. The smoke helps keep the mosquitoes out. I know that you don’t have time to write the boys, Norris, but you just keep the Kinmundy Express coming to all the boys in the service and I’m sure they will thank you and the folks back home who made it possible with their generous contributions. Here is wishing you and yours the best and hoping for complete Victory in forty-four."
On 4 Jan 1945, the Kinmundy Express has, "Here’s a nice letter received from PFC See MILLICAN, who is wintering in the Netherlands East Indies, Dec. 21. He says: How is everything in the good old town of Kinmundy by now? I am in the best of health and am doing fine in the heat and sunshine of this place. I sure feel sorry for you folks who are probably huddled around the old heater about now. I am sweating just like the proverbial Turk right now while writing this. But seriously, I would just as soon be back there with all the rigors of winter. I hear you lost a good citizen in George BARGH. Sure was sorry to hear of his death. I thought that I better write you and give you my permanent address and APO as I think it will be the same where ever we go. I haven’t received a Kinmundy Express since I have been over here. The reason is that I have had and have been moving around a good deal the past few months. They will eventually catch up with me I guess. The only trouble is the process of being forwarded. It takes about a couple of months for newspapers and packages to reach here. I have received 3 Christmas packages so far. They got here for Thanksgiving though, but I guess it better early than late. This makes 2 years that I have spent Christmas in the field but I shouldn’t kick as a lot of fellows have spent 3 years and Christmases overseas. We are having our Christmas dinner tomorrow. I haven’t seen the menu yet but the rumor is that we are going to have turkey with all the trimmings. As yet I have not been fortunate enough to see any of the boys from home over here although I have 2 letters from Frank BAKER and one from Art STANKEY, a cousin of my wife from East St. Louis. Another one of the fellows from the Omega way was in the very vicinity where I am a while ago but was gone when I arrived. I wish to take this opportunity to wish all my friends of Kinmundy and vicinity a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the dove of peace once again fly over this war harassed world in the year of 1945. We are right in the middle of summer over here down under. The heat and sunshine are terrific, but you soon get used to it. It doesn’t rain here quite as much as it did the last place I was. There the poncho was a very necessary item of clothing. Well, Norris, as you know I can’t tell you many of the things that you and the folks back home would like to know, but it is for our safety so we shouldn’t kick. Tell all the folks hello for me and I hope by this time next year, all their sons, daughters, husbands, fathers and friends will be able to spend next Christmas once again."
On 7 Feb 1946, the Kinmundy Express has, "Omega: See MILLICAN is enroute home from Japan and was scheduled to land in Seattle last Saturday."
On 14 Feb 1946, the Kinmundy Express has, "Omega: Mrs. Helen MILLICAN received a phone call from her husband, See MILLICAN, Monday night. He is at Jefferson Barracks and will soon be discharged."

I see where there are lots of the boys from around home who are getting discharges through the point system. But I haven’t got very many points, so a discharge isn’t worrying me very much, yet. And we still have a war in Japan yet to win, but I don’t think it is going to take much longer to do that, at least I hope not. Well, I am still here in Germany in the town of Herstelle, about 40 miles from the city of Kassel. We aren’t doing very much of any thing but passing the time away until they can redeploy us. I saw where Guin and Annette were home for Carl’s birthday. It is nice that they can come home once in awhile. Maybe, we will all be home to stay one of these days. Well, we are having pretty nice weather over here but it is a little cool here today. But from the weather reports that have gotten from back home, you have had a pretty wet season back there. And the farmers have had a hard time getting their crops out. Well, it is an awful hard job for me to think of anything to write so I will have to quit for this time.

John Frank SEE, born 11 Jun 1920, Marion County, Illinois, son of Charles Luther and Margaret (ROPER) SEE. John died 28 Jan 1972. He is buried in Paradise Cemetery, Salem, Marion County, Illinois.
John married Lela L. KRIETEMEYER. She was born 14 Jan 1920.
On 3 Sep 1936, the Kinmundy Express has, "Shanghai Chapel: Those who will attend Kinmundy High School from this neighborhood this year are Nelda GRAY, John SEE, Cecil JONES, Irene LIVESAY, Corrine and Marjorie BAILEY."
On 15 Oct 1942, the Kinmundy Express has, "John SEE of the U.S. Navy is visiting his mother, Mrs. Margaret GRAY."
On 11 Nov 1943, the Kinmundy Express has, "Here’s a letter from John SEE, RM 3 c of the U.S. Navy. He says: I have been intending to write you for some time but just couldn’t get in the mood. After I read that you wanted some of the boys to write, I just made up my mind to write. I get the paper pretty regularly considering where I am and all. I think the last paper I got was published September 30. I enjoy them a lot and they give me a lot of dope that I never hear about otherwise. It seems that there won’t be any girls left when we get back. Every time I pick up the paper I see where someone back there is married. All the USO service men sure have it soft. I shouldn’t complain though as it isn’t so bad here. A few days ago was the last time I had seen a woman in about 8 months. It sure was nice to see some of those lovely creatures. I’ll have to say they were very nice looking but maybe that is because I hadn’t seen one for what seemed to be about a year. I understand that Howard ROBB is stationed at this particular place. If I had his address I would try to find him. I sure would be glad to see someone from home and I know he would, too. Well, it will soon be a year since I have seen the States. Sometimes time flies so fast you can hardly keep track of it and then again it passes slow. I haven’t been out here very long at all though considering that one of the fellows left the States in January 1941 and hasn’t been back since. I sure had an odd feeling when I read in one of your papers about Glen LEE’s ship being sunk. I didn’t know what ship he was on until then. If I had known it I might have been over to see him before he went back. I saw it just before it was sunk. This South Pacific weather sure is swell. It reminds me a lot of the early spring and late fall back home. That is, except for the surroundings. We don’t have very many boys on here from home. There is one from Springfield, and one from West Frankfort. There was one from Centralia but he went back about a month ago. There is also one from Vincennes, Ind. He used to run around in Salem a little. I hope you’ll overlook this typewriter but it is the kind we use in radio work and I always use it to write letters as it is a lot faster and more legible. I can usually type out a two page letter in an hour if I don’t have any interruptions. I guess most of the fellows have some little bit of amusement to tell you but I can’t think of any at present. About the only entertainment we have are movies. We usually have some pretty nice ones but once in a while we get a hold of one we can’t stand. We also have a radio to get all the news and music from the States. There is a small station on the beach that has a lot of transcribed programs and right at present it is going. I guess this is all that I can think of that would be of interest to anyone so will close hoping to see some of the guys from around home down here pretty soon. Thanks again for the paper."
On 17 Aug 1944, the Kinmundy Express has, "Here’s one from John SEE, R M 2 c, who is sailing the seven seas aboard the U.S.S. Pawnee. He says: As I haven’t written you for nearly a year, I think it is about time to write and let you know I am still getting the paper and want to thank you very much for it. I got 2 issues today, which were about 6 weeks old, but nevertheless, they contained a lot of news items and so on, that I hadn’t already heard. I just finished reading the letter that Charles JASPER wrote and wish to say that it was as interesting a letter as I’ve read in a long time. I’m not even going to try and compete with him. I sure wish I could see a different section of the world but it seems my fate to sit here and look at cocoanut trees until I think I’ll go crazy. I will say that I am fortunate enough to be on a ship that gets under way occasionally and not on a shore station. Even if all the islands are the same, sometimes one island has a little different inlet or harbor that breaks the monotony. There has been nothing happened for me of interest until around the first of the year when I had a good opportunity to see the continent from down under. A lot of fellows from around home have been here but I’ll venture to say none of them had a better time than I did. Although I just had 6 days ashore, I really made them count and in that short time (which passed like hours), I spent very little of it aboard ship. If you want to know the real layout of Australia, just ask Red HAMMER. I’ve heard from various sources that his former ship spent a lot of time around here, "How about it, Red?" I didn’t take long to find out that a ‘Yank’ sailor rated tops with all the people in this city. As long as you had plenty of American cigarettes and occasional stick of gum, you could have more girl friends than HEINZ has pickles. I remember 1 incident where 2 fellows and myself went for a little cab ride throughout the city for an entire morning. We didn’t know whether we would have enough money to pay for the ride as it came to over 10 bucks of our money. I took a wild chance when the cabbie told us what the fare was, I stuck a carton of Chesterfield cigarettes under his nose and asked him if it was enough and nearly broke his arm reaching for them. By the way, the cigarettes only cost me fifty cents. My only difficulty was keeping on the correct side of the streets in waiting for a car or tram. One night I waited for about a half hour on a slightly used street for a tram before it dawned on me that I was on the wrong side. I had forgotten all about 1944 being leap year until I had about 3 proposals. I understand there is some sort of law or something there about having to know the girl 6 months before you marry her but that still wouldn’t have made any difference to me. That will do for my little trip to Australia until I get back and then tell you personally a few of my exploits. And incidentally most of them were very amusing to most of the fellows after we got back aboard and started discussing what we had done. Recently I read in ‘Zatso’ about the measurement of your 2 sons. We have one guy on here that will nearly compare to them. He says he had lost a lot of weight since he came in the Navy, but we still give him the horse laugh every time he says that. I just returned from looking out to see how the movie is coming along, and trying to think of something else to write about but still didn’t help, so I guess that is a good indication that I should close for this time for this time. So in closing, thanks again for the paper and some of these days, I’ll drop you a few lines and enclose a few shackles to help cover the cost of editing and sending your paper overseas. I imagine the Navy guys know why we’re all pretty well broke at present."
On 10 May 1945, the Kinmundy Express has, "John SEE of the U.S. Navy arrived here Tuesday to spend a few days with his mother, Mrs. Margaret GRAY."
On 17 May 1945, the Kinmundy Express has, "John SEE, RM2 c, arrived here on Tuesday of last week and gave his mother, Mrs. Margaret GRAY, a surprise visit. He returned to his ship Monday. A rather short stay but they were both very happy, more especially as it permitted them to be together on Mother’s Day. John looks fine and says he feels the same way. John entered the service in Feb., 1942, and after completing his boot training at San Diego, Calif., went aboard the USS Pawnee, a fleet tug. He saw service on this ship for more than a year and was then transferred to the USS Antietam, a carrier. He has sailed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Carribean Sea. He has just returned from the latter. John wears both the American-European Theater and the Asiatic-Pacific Ribbons, the latter containing 3 stars, representing the battles of Bougainville, New Georgia Group, and Treasury Island. We are all glad to see John and only hope that we can see him again, soon, for keeps. (A picture accompanied this article.)"
On 16 May 1946, the Kinmundy Express has, "John SEE, RM1c, came Thursday to visit his mother and brothers, Mrs. Margaret GRAY, and sons, Frederick and Charles. John has been stationed in San Francisco and was granted a 30 day leave. He will report back to St. Louis the 27th for reassignment."

These names will be inscribed on a plaque hanging in the high school. Helen PRUETT received the D.A.R. award. Mr. ALEXANDER remarked on the history of the high school, and it was as follows: "The first district school held in Kinmundy was in 1856 in a rough log house near the present home of W.T. PHILLIPS, west of the C. & E.I.R.R.. The first school house built after the town was founded, was erected in the early fall of 1857. It was a frame building 36 X 24 and stood on the north side of the present residence of C.B. FRENCH. In the early fall of 1865, a new 4 room house was built on the present site and was opened in October the same year. The school grew steadily and within a few years it was necessary to build an addition to the building. This made it a 6 room building with a large recitation hall. Finally, the old building was replaced with the present structure in 1910. The first class to graduate from Kinmundy High School was in 1879. Another class to graduate from Kinmundy High School was in 1879. Another class was graduated in 1880 and another in 1881. Then there was a break. Evidently, there ceased to be a high school because another class was not graduated until 1890. The high school was started with a 3 year course. The requirements were raised with the beginning of the 1906-1907 term which necessitated the graduates having 16 credits. In those days the classes were known as Freshmen, Sophomore and Seniors. One member of the previous Sophomore class, namely Orie WAINSCOTT, having carried an extra subject each year, and by carrying 6 subjects that year, had the honor of being the only graduate that year and the first student to graduate with 16 credits. Since 1906 we have been a 4 year high school. On Dec. 3, 1912, we were placed on the accreditation list by the University of Illinois and we have remained there since. During our sojourn as a 3 year high school, 86 students were graduated, and since becoming a 4 year high school after this evening, we will have graduated 519, making a total of 605 students to pass beneath the portals of Dear Old Kinmundy High."
