JUNE 10-11 LAKEVIEW TO HOST YOCUM RENDEZVOUS

Aurora - A southwest Missouri town, Lakeview, is inviting members of the Yocum family to a rendezvous June 10-11, and according to Leroy Armstrong of Aurora there are many in this area who are eligible to attend.

"There are dozens...living in and around Aurora that are direct descendents of the first Yocums to settle in what is now Stone County," Armstrong said. A few of the family names are: Atkisson, Armstrong, Dummit, Robbins, Kenyon, Williams, Payne, McAnnaly, Lemaster and McKinley.

Armstrong urged members of these families to "gather up your notepads, tape recorder, old family pictures and did up all the family history you can and come to the rendezvous.

This is a unique event and here is a press release explaining the background:

"Whether the name is apelled Yokum, Yocum, Yoachum or Joachim, the Southwest Missouri town of Lakeview, in cooperation with the Indian Point Chamber of Commerce and the Kimberling City Table Rock Lake Area Chamber of Commerce invites members of the Yocum Family and their relatives to attend the Yocum Family Reunion. Every single Yocum in the world from Who's Who to Who's Not is invited to pack vacation bags and head for Southwest Missouri. It is estimated that at least 500,000 people qualify.

"Lakeview, Missouri, is a small village in Stone County, located near Table Rock Lake and three miles west of Silver Dollar City, the Ozarks version of Disney World.

"The first white man to settle in Stone County was one James Yoachum. He and other members of the Yoachum family built log cabins in the early 1800's and lived here in what is now the town of Lakeview.

"What is even more interesting and intriguing about this story is that these Yoachums had a silver mine and made their own money, the Yocum Silver Dollar.

"A recent find of 7 of these Yocum coins in a cave near Branson, Missouri, has excited the interest of many Southwest Missourians. One of these coins will be on display at the Yocum Family Rendezvous. Learn how the Yoachums were able to keep the secret of the mine location.

"All Yocum descendants are to be honored guests at the Grand Opening of the Lost Silver Mine Outdoor Drama. This is a historic re-enactment about the Yoachums, the first white men who came into Ozark Mountain Country. These courageous pioneers came here about 1800 and carved a place to live in the wilderness and a place in the pages of history forever. The Yocum Silver Mine Story, to be seen played out under the stars, is a dramatization of the book, "Traces of Silver," a history of the early 1800's in Ozark Mountain Country.

"The Family Rendezvous date is June 10-11. The area's motels, restaurants and crafts shops will be offering special discounts to all Yocums. Registration to be in Silver Square at the north edge of Lakeview across from the Lost Silver Mine Farm.

Here at the Farm, pioneers harvested the timber to build their cabins and then later to sell as railroad ties. Cattle and deer still graze along the mountain tops as they have for generations. At the Farm you can ride a horse along the former Indian trails or pet a Missouri mule.

YOCUM FAMILY REUNION

Thank you for writing about the Yocum Family Rendezvous held in Lakeview, MO. In 1983 there were 225 Yocum Family descendants present and over 150 in 1984. All enjoyed the fellowship and sharing of information on their descendanats. Many have indicated they will be returning next year. They came from Tennessee, Oregon, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, Louisiana, California, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Texas.

On Saturday night of the reunion, Yocum family members attended the LOST SILVER MINE OUTDOOR DRAMA. This drama is based on the Yocum family who were the first white settlers in this area during the 1800's. They obtained a silver mine and minted the Yoachum Silver Dolar which was dated 1822. If you are ever in this area, stop by to say hello and look at some of the information we have on display in the Welcome Center. There are 81 different spellings of Yocum, Yoakum, Yocam, Yokem, Yochuj, Yokum, Yoachum, etc. so you are probably descended from this family.

The Lost Silver Mine Outdoor Drama is located at the Junction of Highways 76 and 13, Lakeview, Missouri, just three miles west of Silver Dollar City. You can stop by the Welcome and Ticket Center to purchase tickets or call 417-272-8100 to make your reservations. The drama will be open June 11 through October 26, 1985.

The Yocum Family Rendezvous will be held on June 21, 22 and 23, 1985. You name will be placed on our list to send information about the Third Annual Rendezvous in 1985. We hope you will be able to join us at that time. 1985 will be bigger and better than ever before. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to drop us a line at any time.

Sincerely,

Carole Young
Office Administrator

MEMORIAL

In loving remembrance of our mother, Mrs. F. M. Taylor, who died one year ago, July 29, 1928.

Earth has lost its look of gladness,
heaven seems to be more bright,
Since the spirit of our mother
Took its heavenly flight.

In life we loved her dearly
And in death we do the same.
Dear mother, I often sit and think
Of you and wish you were here again.

But God called, it was His will
But in my heart you linger still,
Your memory is so dear to me
As in the hour you went away.

I think of you dear mother in silence--
No eye can see me weep
But many a silent tear I shed
While others are asleep.

Dear mother, could you speak to us
And live with us again
Our aching hearts then would be eased
But this we wish in vain.

You are gone, Mother, but not forgotten
Never will they memory fade,
sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where you are laid.

Just the crossing of the river,
Just a stepping on the shore;
The the joys of life eternal
All were yours.

For the Master whom we follow
In his word has plainly said,
That you're only sweetly sleeping
Though you're numbered with the dead.

The stars are dimly shining
Upon your new-made grave,
Where you sleep without waking
You were loved but could not save.

Sweet and peaceful be your slumber
Forget you I can never
But God called you home,
He knows best, His will be done forever.

PRESS NOTES
VEDA E. OWENS DIES FOLLOWING BRIEF ILLINESS
Jersey Street Woman Died in Hospital of Peritonitis.
Mrs. Veda Elmira Owens, 40, wife of Charles W. Owens of Jersey Street, died this morning at 5 o'clock at the Daviess County Hospital where Thursday she submitted to a major operation.
Death of the woman was attributed to peritonitis, which had developed prior to the operation. She had been seriously ill since last Sunday, but had been in failing health for some time prior to that.
Doctors this morning explained that starting last Sunday Mrs. Owens suffered severe cramping, then experienced locked bowels. Thursday noon an operation was performed, and two of the intestines were found grown togethr. Further probing revealed that a piece of toothpick had been swallowed by Mrs. Owens at some time, and that it had worked through one of the intestines, causing a sore which reslted in the intestines growing together and causing the fatal illness. Peritonitis developed to cause ehr death early today.
Born in Stone County, Missouri, on September 1, 1895, the deceased was a daughter of Francis Marion Taylor and Jane Philbert Taylor. The father survives and lives at Monett, Missouri, but the mother preceded the daugter in death. Mrs. Owens was married to Charles W. Owens on December 25, 1910, and three children were born to the union, one dying in infancy and the other two being survivors. They are Mrs. Lorene Gines of Washington and Lucille Owens, at home.
Brothers and sisters surviving are Lafe and Otis Taylor, Mrs. Lavina Martin of Waco, Texas, Mrs. Velie Stewart of Jenkins, Missouri, and Mrs. Dollie Dummitt of Monett, Missouri.
Mrs. Owens was a member of the Free Methodist Church and of the Security Benefit Association of this city.
Funeral arrangements are not complete. James A. Gill and Sons will have charge.


IN MEMBORY OF MRS. CHARLES OWENS

There's a seat empty in our church today
For some one who has gone away,
She has gone to be with Jesus
In the land of perfect day.

"Tis our dear Sister Owens who we all loved so well
She has said good night to us here,
To go to a better world than this
"Tis where they know no fear.

She has gone from this world of sorry
Gone from this world of pain
She will never have sickness or sorrow
Or heartaches ever again.

I'm sure she's happy in Heaven
Where Jesus, the Lamb is the Light,
Where never cometh the darkness
For everything's lovely and bright.

She is feasting with Jesus in heaven
Resting beneath the green tree
She is looking toward the Pearly Gates
Wathing for you and for me.

Although our hearts were saddened
When we said good night to her here
Our hearts will also be gladdened
When we say good morning up there.

This poem was written by Nellie Burrous in memory of my mother at her death. Lorene Gines
