| 251 | I00921 | In Missouri Registry of Deaths, birth year was recorded as 1772 |
| 252 | I00923 | Jean Baptiste Ortes, grandfather of our Joseph Philibert, was born in the province of Bearne, France, near the Pyrenees. He came to Louisana with Pierre Laclede in 1755 as a boy and learned the carpenter trade. He was one of the 30 tradesmen that was with Laclede at the founding of St. Louis, Missouri, in 1765. He married Elizabeth Barada in St. Louis and lived there until he died in 1814. Elizabeth Barada was born in Vincennes, 1762, and brought to St. Louis by her parents in 1768. She died there at the age of 104 years. JEAN BAPTISTE ORTES AND ELAZABETH BARADA The following is an excerpt from a series of articles depicting the early days of St. Louis, Missouri published in the Missouri Historical Society Bulletin, Vol. 4 Part I, pages 15 and 16: Two joiners or carpenters, early associated in business - Jean Baptiste Ortes and Jean B. Cambas - who were granted a double lot as partners - "Mensuisiers Associes" (carpenters partners) in 1767 on which they built a frame house together. Ortes, the better known of the two, was born in the province of Bearn, France and came to St. Louis in 1765. In 1768 he contracted to build a "poteaux en terre" (post into land) house, 18'x22' on La Grande Rue Royals for Francois Cottin, Royal Crier, Ortes to furnish all the work and materials except one thousand shingles, part of the posts and planks, hardware for the doors and windows and the plastering, the whole to be completed in three months. The year 1771 was busy one for Ortes. On April 30, 1771 the Archives show that he contracted to build a house for Joseph Robidoux, a shoemaker recently arrived from Montreal, for 500 "livres" (pounds) in beaver or deerskins and three pairs of shoes. This house was to have 3 rooms and to be built of horizontal logs "en piece sur piece" (Piece upon piece) of cottonwood, ash or walnut. Late in the fall he prepared to build a barn, part of which he was to use for his workshop. At the end of the year he contracted to complete the roof on Louis Vige's house for 165 "livres" in skins, Vige to furnish all materials and two unskilled helpers, this job he completed but Vige left town without payment and Ortes had to fall back on a mechanic's lien. In 1772 Ortes sold his half of the house built in partnership with Cambas, reserving the right to live in it until the following July. He in the meantime was to keep the roof from leaking, to build in two corner cupboards and improve the barn. Nothing more appears in the records concerning Ortes' work except that in 1799 he made an inspection of the buildings at Fort San Carlos for the Governor. His name is frequently found as a landowner, as a witness to documents and in other connections such as his purchase at a sale in 1779 of a pair of crimson velvet breeches and two tin flower pots. In 1780 he was a member of the local militia. In 1782 he married Elizabeth Barada, born in the old French post of Vincennes. Ortes died in 1814 but his widow survived him to reach the remarkable age of 104 years. Of all the local craftsmen, Ortes alone has an example of his work known to remain. It is a fine walnut "Armoire" (cupboard) in the collection of the Missouri Historical Society, a simply, well made piece, thoroughly French in character. Walter B. Stevens tells about the founding of St. Louis by the first 30 men who were mechanics of all trades and how they dragged their boat up the Mississippi and began building St. Louis in the middle of February. John Baptiste Ortes was born in the province of Bearne, France near the Pyrenees. When Pierre Laclede came to Louisiana in 1755, Jean Baptiste Ortes, a boy of eighteen, accompanied him. Ortes was with Laclede at the founding of St. Louis in 1765. He had learned the trade of a carpenter. He married in St. Louis and lived there until 1814. His wife who was Elizabeth Barada, born in Vincennes lived in St. Louis until 1868, dying at the age of 104 years. She was brought by her parents in 1768. Ortes did not leave his name to posterity - his children were daughters. St. Louis, the 4th City…W.B. Stevens |

Throughout his life, Ernest had a speech impediment, in which he stuttered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the April 1946 Term of Chancery Court, First District, Yalobusha County, Ernest put in for divorce from wife Robbie. In court, Robbie then pressed for a cross bill against Ernest for failure of support and in doing so, requested alimony pendente lite, alimony permanent , and solicitors fees. On 15 October, 1949, V. D. Rowe, Chancellor of First District, Yalobusha found Ernest "in contempt of court on having failed to show for such comtempt; it is ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the said Ernest Stapp be committed to the court jail of Yalobusha County, Mississippi to there be confined and held until he will lose purgered himself of such comtempt of court."

| 265 | I0109 | Family legend has it that while Robert and his family were living in Quanah, Hardeman County, Texas, a local youth tried stealing watermelons from their garden. Robert got his gun and shot at the car as it was making its escape. The shot fatally wounded the youth and Robert was apprehended. In the end, he was cleared of murder and allowed as a free man, but lost the family ranch in the process. On the way out of the courthouse, he and the rest of his family were shot at by family of the now diseased youth. Lillie Ann James (Doty), wife of Robert Fulton Doty, was pregnant with Mary Ellen Cathline Doty at the time (circa early 1925) and was wearing a black coat with a fur liner. The shot was said to have put holes in this coat and in later years Lillie showed it to her grandchildren. QUANAH TRIBUNE CHIEF Tuesday August 19, 1924 Young Fellow Killed While on Escapade Three Acme Boyes Rob Watermelon Patch with Fatal Results to L.C. Hilton Robbing a watermelon patch Thursday night, cost the life of L.C. Hilton, 23 years, from Acme. It was shortly after one o'clock Friday morning when R.F. Doty, twelve miles northwest of Quanah, heard intruders about his house. His watermelon patch had been pilfered before, and Doty went out carrying with him a thirty-thirty rifle. The visitors were three boys from Acme, who had just loaded their car with Doty's melons, and hearing him coming stepped on the gas to start for home. Doty fired, it is said intending to puncture a tire, but the bullet hit the body of the car, and struck young Hilton in the back. The boys in front speeded up, and had gone several miles before they discovered that Hilton had fallen out of the car. They unloaded their melons, and went back finding their companion dead in the road a couple of miles from where they had halted. Doty was arraigned on a charge of murder before Justice of Peace Grundy Friday morning. No witnesses being present, the hearing of the case was set for Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Squire Grundy set Doty's bond at $10,000, but motion of County Attorney Bartlett who stated that Doty was a poor man, owning no property of any kind save two cows, this bond was reduced to $5,000. Doty stands well in his community, and looks like a clean, self-respecting man. He was accompanied to the court room by his wife and eighteen-year-old son. The auto which figured in the tragedy was brought to town Friday morning, and the town coroner man noticed where one bullet had struck the body of the car, passing through the back. We heard the bullet had broke his backbone probably killing him instantly. Mrs. Doty told the following: "It was about two o'clock in the morning when I woke up by an auto stepping near the house. I looked out and saw they were putting out their lights. My husband and son left the house carrying a 30-30 rifle, and slipped through the corn towards the melon patch. When drawing near they saw three men loading up their car with melons, and Mr. Doty hollered at them. They jumped in the car and started away, my husband shooting three times trying to puncture a tire. He came back to the house saying he believed he had hit that car, and we went back to bed until woke up by the sheriff who told us that a man had been killed." Carter Hilton, we were told, was a fine boy, hard working and the main support of his parents. He has been working at the cement mills for the past five years, and no boy was better liked or more thought of. At the time of the shooting he was in the car with Lee Skinner and Clarence Lockhart. When the second shot was fired, they heard him say: "Drive fast, boys, I'm shot." They were excited and had gone for two miles before they noticed that Hilton had fallen out of the car. Even after they had returned to Acme with the body, it took them some time to realize that their friend was dead. The witnesses having come to town, the examining trial was held that afternoon, and it was learned that three boys had left Acme about nine o'clock, and had examined three cotton patches looking for melons, before coming to Doty's place. They had already four melons in the car, and were loading four more, when interrupted by the farmer. Sheriff Aiken who examined the place of the shooting testified that after Hilton fell out of the car, his body was dragged for over one hundred yards, which might had contributed to his death. Doty's bond was reduced to $3,000, which he readily gave, to await the action of the grand jury in October. Research in the Hardeman County Courthouse for court records on the trial showed little evidence: October 9, 1924 "We the grand jury empanelled for the October term here with tender eight felony indictments & one misdemeanor" (No names or charges given) ------------------------------------------------------------- WW1 Draft Registration Cards, Hardeman County, Texas, 1918 Doughty, Robert Fulton Address: RFD #2, Quanah, Hardeman Co., Texas Age: 36 Date of Birth: March 8, 1882 Race: White Present Occupation: Laborer Employer: Porter Bros.

| 273 | I01150 | June 4, 1892 At a meeting of the directors of the Philibert and Johanning Manufacturing Company held at their office, No. 1502 Market Street, on the first day of June, 1892, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted relative to the death of the late Mrs. Julia M. Philibert. Whereas, it had pleased Almighty God in the course of His divine providence to remove from our midst Mrs. Julia M. Philibert, widow of the late Benjamin Philibert, the founder of this ibnstitution, and who by his energy, devotion and business foresight so largely contributed to the uniform success of this company, and, Whereas, we recognize in Mrs. Julia M. Philibert many of those characteristics possessed by her grandfather, John B. Ortes, the associate of the eminent Liguet (one of the original founders of the city of St. Louis), and who in the relations of life as daughter, wife and mother furnished an example worthy of imitation, Be it resolved, that in the death of Mrs. Julia M. Philibert we humbly bow to the will of our Heavenly Father, in whom she so faithfully trusted during three score and eleven years of her useful life, representing four generations, given uplargely to acts of benevolence, piety and unostentatious charity, and, That in her death we have sustained an irreparable loss commensurate with her many virtues, clear judgment and noble example, and, That our sympathy be extended to her bereaved family, and, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished them and spread on the minutes of this meeting, and, That we attend the funeral in a body. Philibert & Johanning Mfg. Co. John H. Kaiser, President Wm. G. Frye, Secretary Benjamin was baptized Pierre, but was accused by his brothers of being their father's favorite, hence he was called Benjamin from the Bible story of Joseph and his brothers. Obituaries: St. Louis Post Dispatch, December 22, 1881 One of the morning papers tell about a citizen of St. Louis, named Philibert, who died last Friday, worth $300,000, who had never been outside the city - never had ridden a steamboat nor a railroad train in his life. We desire to say that this gentleman was not a typical citizen, the opinion of theChicago press to the contrary notwithstanding. The majority of St. Louis men take a ride by steamboat and railroad occassionally and they seem to be all the better for it. Still the success of Mr. Philibert shows what a man can accomplish here by staying strictly at home and attending to his own affairs. St. Louis Globe Democrat, December 18, 1881 This is a notable day with some of the undertakers, and there are a nunmber of funerals of more than ordinary importance. Mr. Lynch of Olive Street, has four affairs in charge and says it is one of the most remarkable coincident days in all of his experience. The remains of Major Turner, Mrs. Ulriet and Mrs. Ma-ura are to be interred, and also those of Mr. Benjamin Philibert, who died at the age of 66 and was a member of the firm of Philibert and Johanning, planing-mill proprietors. The latter gentleman was one of the oldest of St. Louis citizens, and Mr. Lnch says he remembers visiting him as a boy at the old famikly residence at the corner of Main and Walnut streets, a full half century ago. All of the deceased were connected with the old French families and were more or less identified with the earlier history of the city. St. Louis Globe Democrat - December 19, 1881 EARTH TO EARTH Ceremonies attending the interment of remains of Benjamin Philibert and Mrs. Ulriet. The obsequies of the late Benjamin Philibert took place yesterday morning and were of an imposing and impressive character. At an early hour the family residence, 2705 Clark Avenue, was thronged by the numerous relatives of the deceased and many prominent citizens who came to pay their last tribute of respect and friendship to the departed. The casket was almost covered with a profusion of floral offerings. A beautiful pillow, with the inscription "Our Father" covered the head of the casket, and was the tribute of Mr. Philibert's children; a wreath with the words "Our Grandpa", from the grandchildren, and another large wreath having on it in handsome letters "Our Uncle Ben", from the nieces and nephews. At 10:00 o'clock the coffin was placed in the hearse, and the funeral procession moved to St. Malaobt's Church, Summit and Clark Avenues. The edifice was completely crowded by the attendants at the funeral and members of the church. Requiem high mass was celebrated, Father Zeigler acting as celebrant, assisted by Father Brennan and another priest. After mass Father Zeigler preached a short but eloquent sermon, eulogizing the deceased and alluding to his manly traits and sterling virtues, his well-known benevolence and loveable disposition as a kind father and loving husband. The musical services were excellent and elaborate; consisting of Gregorian chants, several trios, and the "Ave Maria" impressively rendered. The choir was under the direction of Mr. J. B. Grant. (The names were listed but difficult to make out due to a tear in the original it was copied from.) At the conclusion of the services, the pall-bearers Messrs. Aug. Legg, George Ulrich, Hl. Romer, Frank T. Barada, Mr. Longneinare and the four sons of the deceased, took up the casket adn bore it to the hearse. The cortege then moved off to Calvary Cemetery, where the remains were interred. Among those in attendance were the Papin, Longueinare, Barada and Boutz families, all family connections and descendants of Mme. Ortez, the gbrandmother of Mr. Philibert; Capt. Joseph LaBarge, C. H. Peek, Richard Dowling, Dr. Aug. Fisher, J. W. Booth, D. Berthold, Ms. Webster, and other well-known citizens. St. Louis Globe Democrat - December 20, 1881 Sixty-three years a resident of St. Louis, and not once out of the city. A man who died worth $300,00 and never rode on a steamboat or a steam road. The death of Mr. Benjamin Philibert, on Friday last, removed from the business andsocial community an active and much-esteemed citizen. Though quiet and uneventful, his career revives some of the earliest recollections of St. Louis, with the history and growth of which he was closely identified. His family going back only two generations, was among the pioneer settlers who founded St. Louis with Pierre Laclede and Pierre Chouteau. Mr. Philibert's maternal grandmother was the famous Madame Ortex, the first white woman who came to the then insignificant French settlement, but important Indian trading post, and who died not many years ago at the age of 103 years. Madame Ortez with whose history every old citizen is familiar, ahd three daughters, the youngest of whom married Joseph Philibert, the father of the subject of this brief sketch. Joseph Philibert was an adventurous and hardy Canadian, who cast his fortunes with the first settlers. He was one of the most prominent and enterprising of the energetic men who first planted civilization on the western bank of the Mississippi. In the pursuit of fur trading he amassed what in those times was a large fortune, which, at his death, he left to his widow and children: Benjamin, the eldest of the children, was born October 21, 1818. The family residence at that time was on Maln and Washington Avenue, the aristocratic residence portion of the Village. Six blocks further west was a complete wilderness, and in his youthful days Mr. Philibert often hunted game with his companions where today stand some of the large and most extensive business establishments of the city. The Early Manhood of Mr. Philibert, like the most of his life, was devoid of any eventful incident. At an early age he entered the Jesuit Colege and received a good education, both secular and religious. His parents were devout Catholics, and his piet and belief in that religion was as ardent. he was not of an adventurous spirit, but naturally modest and retiring in disposition, and inherited the marked and perculiar characteristics of his ancestors and of the people of his time. While he did not disapprove of worldly pleasures, he studiously avoided them. Neither grasping nro mercenary, he was entirely wrapped up in his business and domestic affairs. In 1840 he was married to a cousin, Miss Lequere who survives him after forty years of wedded life. About the time of his marriage, or soon after, he embarked in business and started a largeplaning mill on thirteenth and Chestnut streets. So successful was he that several years later, to meet the increase of business, he was obliged to remove to the present location on Fifteenth and Market. Mr. Branconier, an old and worthy citizen, was his partner until a few years ago. On Mr. Branconier's retirement, Mr. Johanning, the surviving partner who had been chief book-keeper of the firm for over thirteen years, was given a fifth interest in the establishment, which today is one of the largest and most extensive of the kind in the city. Mr. Philibert always avoided notoriety of any kind, and disliked ostentatious display. So highly esteemed and regarded was he that the office of Mayor was offered him at one time by leading citizens and business men, but he firmly declined the position, saying that he was wedded to his business and his family. This assertion of his was true in every respect. Commanding as he did a great influence in the community, both socially and in business, and as the bend of an esxtensive manufacturing enterprise, it is a remarkable fact that from the day of his birth and during his existence of 63 yrs, Mr. Philibert was never out of the city. Still more remarkable is it that althoughengaged in an important mechanical pursuit and interested in everything that pertained to it, he never traveled on a steamboat or rode on a railroad car. Indeed, it was asserted by one of his most intimate friends that he did not ride on a street car until several years after that now indispensable system of transit was intoduced here. By careful attention to business affairs, Mr. Philibert ammased a considerable fortune, estimated at over $300,000. Hundreds can testify to his generous and liberal philanthropy, and he never turned a deam ear to any appeal of the distressed. He gave quickly without ostentation, and all that went from his purse in charity during his lifetime would figure up a handsome little fortune. His wiwfe and eight children - four sons and four daughters - all grown, survive him. |
