Flour and Corn Meal

Peter Pauley was always referred to as the "miller." He was shown as being in the Bell school district in 1870, but lived on the Middle Fork of the Black River perhaps in the area of John Miller's farm. When the people wanted flour, this is most likely the place they came to in the 1870 to 1900 period. Pauley married Lucinda Hawk December 5, 1872. His mill was badly damaged in the flood of 1892. he also had a barn to burn that was estimated to be worth about $600 about this same time causing him difficulty running his milling operation.

Peter served in the Civil War.

(description). My only son, Robert Cullen Love, the other half of the farm Wit: James W. Goggin, Reynolds Co. & Peter Pauley of Iron Co. Recorded 3 July 1872.

Peter married HAWK Lucinda on 5 Dec 1872 in Iron Co, MO. Lucinda (daughter of HAWK Elijah and UNKNOWN Mary) was born in Jul 1855 in Iron Co, MO; died in BET. 1900 - 1910 in Missouri. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Married by Nelson Adams, a minister of the Gospel

Lucinda Pauley, born July, 1855 in MO, widowed
Bernard, son 15
Peter, son 12
Mary, granddaughter, 5
Anna, granddaughter, 4

It would seem likely that the two grandaughters living with Lucinda were daughters of Frederick who cannot be found on any census records.

Notes:

Both Elijah and his younger brother Nelson bought property in Iron County while still living in Washington Co, MO., perhaps that section of Washington Co became Iron Co when it was formed in 1857. They lived next to each other for the rest of their lives, Nelson outliving Elijah by several years. They lived in a place which became known as Hawk's Lane in Iron County, and later on a school was built there which was called Hawk's school. Nelson contributed financially to the construction of the school.
