"Eminence Library News
"We've said it before: One meets the most interesting cross-section of folks at the library. The latest is in the form of a letter from a gentleman in the state of Washington whose great-great grandfather was Newton Deatherage, married to a Louise Crider, who farmed in the Ink community. It is believed that the Newton area is named for him. Newton's father was the famed Alex of Civil War escapade lore, if reading this link correctly. Family information is being sought, and we are sending what we have in the library, from the History of Shannon County 1841-2001 done by the Friends of the Library, First Families Shannon County Missouri compiled by Jim Walsh, and Nineteenth Century Shannon County by David Lewis. Is there someone we can ask for more information among all the many Deatherage descendants? If you are willing and able to help, please call 573-226-3889." ~ The Shannon County Current Wave
