Ray P. Cramer is one of Cooper County's progressive farmers and business men. He was born in Lamine Township, Sept. 25, 1880, and is the son of G. A. Cramer, Jr., who was the son of G. A. Cramer. Ray Cramer's grandfather came from Holland to this country. The ship in which he came was wrecked and he was one of the few survivors. He located first in Pennsylvania, then moved to Kentucky, and from there came to Cooper County and settled here soon after the first Turleys, thought to be about 1814.

The land upon which Ray P. Cramer now lives was a part of the tract on which his grandfather settled. Mr. Cramer's grandfather on his mother's side was Frank Hill, who came from Cincinnati, Ohio, and located in Cooper County soon after the Civil War. The subject of this sketch is the owner of 102 acres of highly improved and well cultivated land and is situated two miles west of Lamine station in Lamine Township. He has spent his entire life in Cooper County, except about one year which he spent in Oklahoma. He was educated in the public schools of the county, and took a special commercial course at another institution. He was the organizer of the Boonville Oil and Gas Company at Okmulgee, Okla., and the Gilmer Oil Company of the same place, both of which are now consolidated and known as the Gilmer Oil Company. Mr. Cramer has been successful in the oil fields and upon property aforesaid has seven producing oil wells and two productive gas wells. He is the manager of this company, and has the absolute confidence of those who have invested with him. They are mostly local men, and as a testimony of their confidence and esteem, they presented him a few months ago with a handsome $250 Victrola.

Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery
Description: Location: T-47-N; R-16-W; Section 3; NW 1/2 of the Section; about 1 1/2 miles south and west of Old Clark's Fork Cross-roads. The cemetery is just south and near the little white church - The Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church. This list of burials recorded by Mrs. Garling Hill of Boonville, Mo. with the assistance of friends and members of the congregation, May, 1982

Location: T-46-N; R-18-W; Section 25 - SE 1/4 of Section; near Pilot Grove, Mo. "A plot of land was deeded to a party, or parties; interested in establishing a burial ground, in the year 1852; seven or eight miles southwest of Boonville, Mo. The Pleasant Hill Baptist Church was also at this location. Many of the stones in this cemetery are unreadable; as the ravages of time and the elements have left them as they are. Many of the graves were marked only by ordinary stones, or as generally referred to, as fieldstones, some of which are still there; but not identifying the persons buried there. The following is a list of the stones, and graves, some marked and some not marked, the best that we have been able to list." Recorded by Mr. Tom Bryan and Mr. Charles Warnhoff. When the Pleasant Hill Church was disbanded, Mr. Tom Bryan was appointed to dispose of the property and also to give letters of membership to those who wished to join other congregations - some went to Mt. Herman and some to the Pilot Grove Churches. The church building was sold to the Lotspiech brothers and is still standing on the former church-yard which adjoins the cemetery. The building has been sided with tin and is used as a grainery. The cemetery is well cared for by a cemetery association.

Old Lamine Cemetery- There is no record of the origin of Old Lamine Cemetery; all that we know is: There is about an acre in the southeast corner that is filled with unmarked graves. The only marked graves in that corner are those of the Cramer Family and they have a family tradition that in the beginning it was Cramer Land that was donated for cemetery purposes. The remainder of the cemetery was donated in small plots of 1/2 to 1 acre. The first plots were donated by Mr. Thomas Mellar of Lamine Township in the 1870 decade. Later a plot was donated by Eddie and Billie Sims in 1906. All three of these plots were deeded to the Elders of Old Lamine Christian Church. There was a small Baptist Cemetery located in what is now the south-central part of the cemetery and which was added to by the moving of the Baptist Church to Blackwater. The part from the Baptist Church is about an acre in size. During the 1940's, the Old Lamine School was closed and became a part of the Blackwater School District. The Blackwater District donated the school yard to the cemetery. A new plot of three-fourth acre has just been purchased by the cemetery from Mr. and Mrs. Winkler. So much for the physical part of the cemetery; now as to organization and care of the cemetery: Previous to 1910, the cemetery was un-cared for and grew up in weeds and brush except for families caring for their own lots. During that year, the Ladies Old Lamine Cemetery Association was formed. The men met and cleared up the cemetery. It was sowed in bluegrass and sugar maples were set out along the driveways. I hesitate to try to name the ladies responsible for the organization - but to name a few families that I know were helpful would have to include: Gibsons; McMahans; Kincheloes; Turleys; Harrises; Sites; Wings; and others of the Old Pioneer families of the community. The ladies kept the cemetery in perfect condition for more than sixty years - financing it by donations - an annual bazaar and dinner, and ice-cream socials. However, as the community changed, it became a burden upon a few ladies to stage the annual affairs and another method had to be employed. In 1964, a meeting was called by the Ladies Association to discuss a Perpetual Fund. Mr. Gus Boller spoke at that meeting. Among other things, he said were "Organize tonight or it will be postponed indefinitely". There were men present who had considerable business experience and proposed a corporation resulting in the Old Lamine Cemetery Corporation, where a board of directors undertook to raise an endowment fund for the perpetual care of the cemetery. The raising of the fund and maintenance of the cemetery is now the responsibility of the Old Lamine Cem. Corp. While the fund is not yet large enough to guarantee the future, it is large enough that added to gate collections, it can take care of the cemetery at present. By Mr. D. T. Weekley, Blackwater, Mo. - May, 1981

Dr. Giles Norman Jeffries, from Kentucky, made his home for a time at Prairie du Rocher. From there he moved to St. Louis, where he lived only a short time and then, at the earliest solicitation of Duteil Cabanne and Colonel Don Morrison, came to Belleville. As Dr. W W Roman had only recently died and his friends were casting about for a successor to his practice, Dr. Jeffries appeared most fortunately on the scene. Here was his opportunity, and he made good use of it. His welcome and his success were commensurate. By his urbanity and his gentlemanly conduct, no less than by his professional skill, he won and held the hearts of the community. One thing more than all else that came into Dr. Jeffries' life for his good was his marriage to Mrs. Mary West Estes, "one who moved in an atmosphere of refined spirituality." Dr. Jeffries was truly indebted in many ways to his good wife, who brought him some of his best patrons. She bore him three children-one daughter, Mrs. Louisa Osgood, and two sons, Giles Norman Jeffries, Jr., and Edmund Jeffries-all of whom live in Minneapolis, Minn. Dr. Jeffries died at Belleville, after a brief illness, in 1876. Born and educated in the sunny Southland, he carried with him all through his life the genial, fragrant comradeship of the born cavalier. Children ran to meet him; they never saw him frown. The widow's heart sent up a prayer, as incense at the mention of his name. The old couple on the farm, in their rustic simplicity and in their hard-handed honesty, almost welcomed a spell of bilious fever if it brought him under their rooftress. He brought them all they needed, interpreted the things in the hurly-burly of the changing world that they did not understand, and, setting the seal of his approval on all that they had done for his patient and giving them all an honest opinion and an efficient remedy, he departed with their benedictions.

P 834- Dr. William W. Roman, who finished his work and died about half a century ago, was a medical giant, whose name and fame are written large upon the history of Belleville. He was not only dictator in the medical world, but reigned supreme in his social and political environments. From "that noble Roman" as he has been called, keen students learned many valuable lessons. Dr. Perryman was one of his students. In a sense, Dr. Jeffries was his successor.

d. John R. Jeffries* Born CA 1820 Mecklenburg Co., Va.-Named in Brother Richard's Will, 1836, Nicholas Co., KY & Meck. Co., Va. There is a J R Jeffries, age 30, Stage Driver, Born Unk. in 1850 Huntsville, Madison Co., Ala.-HH of Bartley M Lowe 47M Fla, Commission Merchant;. appears to be a Boarding House.

Religious Herald, December 8, 1859:

"Departed this life, in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, on the 26th of October, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Lucy Gregory, Mrs. Prudence Haskins, wife of Mr. Creed T. Haskins, in the 63rd year of her age. Her disease was dropsy of the heart. She was for many months a great sufferer, but was patient and resigned to the will of Him who chastens and afflicts those whom he loves. Mrs. Haskins made a profession of religion in early life, and was baptized by Elder William Richards, pastor of Bethel church. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn their loss. Yet they grieve not as those who have no hope. She had the pleasure of seeing her husband and all her children gathered into the church before the death. Oh, the example and prayers of a pious mother and wife! She was beloved by all who knew her. She was always an active, praying Christian and enjoyed her hope more and more as she approached the grave. The day before her death she seemed to get a foretaste of heaven - her faith and hope were in lively exercise. She exhorted all her friends, and spoke of death as only going on a journey. She sung several favorite hymns, and appeared very much improved, so that her friends began to entertain hope of her recovery; but next day she breathed her last whilst sitting in her chair. She filled all the relations of life with credit, and has left an example worthy of our imitation. 'Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints!' Amicus."

BUCK, BEAUMONT BONAPARTE (1860-1950). Beaumont Bonaparte Buck, army officer, was born in Mississippi on January 16, 1860. He was brought to Texas by his parents about 1870, attended school in Dallas, and joined the Texas militia in 1878. He graduated from the United States Military Academy on February 16, 1885, was assigned to the infantry on June 14, and was stationed at Fort McIntosh. There, on November 20, 1886, he married Kate Bernard, the daughter of his commanding officer, Col. R. F. Bernard. They had three children. Buck was stationed at Fort Ringgold in December 1886, was promoted to first lieutenant in the Nineteenth Infantry in May 1892, and in February 1898 was stationed at Fort Sherman, Idaho, on recruiting duty. In May 1898 he was sent back to Texas as a major in the Second Texas Volunteers. After an honorable discharge on November 9, 1898, he reentered the service as a captain in the Sixteenth Infantry in March 1899 and spent eight months in the Philippine Islands. In 1900-01 he conducted army personnel to the Philippines and Egypt. He was stationed at Fort William McKinley at Manila from 1907 to 1913. He was married a second time on December 30, 1908, and became the father of four children. Buck was promoted to major in 1908 and to lieutenant colonel in 1914. He was sent to France with the Twenty-eighth Infantry in 1916 and became a major general in August 1918. He had received the Distinguished Service Cross in 1909 and after his World War Iqv service was awarded the Medal of the French Legion of Honor, the Croix de Guerre, and other honors. He retired on June 10, 1925, and made his home in San Antonio. He headed the San Antonio Bicentennial Commission in 1932 and was a founder and president of the State Association of Texas Pioneers. In 1935 he wrote his reminiscences under the title Memories of Peace and War. He married Mrs. Virginia Rodgers in September 1949. Buck died in San Antonio on February 10, 1950, and was buried in the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. He was survived by his widow, two sons, and four daughters.

Richard Jeffries of Essex Co., Va appears to be closely related to John Jeffries SR of Lunenburg/Mecklenburg Co., Va. Also some of his descendants used the given name of Swepson-sgs

Richard Jeffries was born Ca 1725-28, as he was a grown man in 1750, when he was deeded land in Essex Co by John Campbell. He is probably the son of Thomas Jefferies listed in the 1715 Essex Co, Rent Rolls., and grandson of the Richard Jeffreys listed in the 1704 King & Queen Co, Rent Rolls.

Richard Jeffries is listed as serving in the Revolutionary War from Essex Co., Va (Abercrombie Booklet) but this record may apply to his son Richard JR), as I believe Richard SR would be too old to serve in the Rev. War.

He rec'd a land grant in 1783 in Essex Co., Va., of 56 acres on Dragon Swamp, dividing the land of Jeffries and William Newbill.

He married #2 Mary (___) HOWERTON, Wid.of William Howerton.who died Essex Co., VA, 1781* and they later separated, filing a property agreement in 1792. (Essex Co. D33, P 387) He had previously given his children deeds of Gift, earlier that same year. (Essex Deeds, below. (* married after 1781, therefore, Mary is NOT the mother of any of Richard Jeffries' children)

I rec'd the following info from Kathy Awbry, on March 25, 2008, indicating the Jeffries/Jeffreys family of Surry Co., VA was of the Negro race

1. John1 Jeffries, born perhaps 1670, was a "Negroe man" belonging to Captain Robert Randall in July 1698 when Randall brought him before the Surry County Court to declare him a free man [Haun,Surry County Court Records, V:211]. He was probably the "John Negroe" for whom Captain Randall was taxable in 1698 [Magazine of Virginia Genealogy vol.24, no.2, 69]. He was taxable in his own household in Surry County from 1699 to 1703 near William Sweat [Ibid., 75, 83, no.3, 69, 72; DW 5:289]. On 18 February 1722 he received a patent for 100 acres in Surry County on the south side of Blackwater Swamp and Seacock Swamp [Patents 11:188]. He was called John Jeffries, Sr., in his 3 November 1746 Albemarle Parish, Surry County, will, recorded 16 June 1752, which named his daughter, Martha Jeffries, as executrix and gave her his land on Seacock Swamp. He also mentioned his daughter, Mary Powell, and grandsons, John Jeffreys and Benjamin Tan [D&W 1738-54, 798].
