Tuesday, March 20, 2007 - Marshall Democrat News, Marshall, Saline County, Missouri:
Jim Weaver and his three sisters, Dorothy Teeter, Delores Sadewhite and Margaret Dennis remember growing up in the house in the Missouri River bottoms near Malta Bend, which even after the flood of 1993, has still never had water inside the main floor.
"All of the floods, since we've been born, never have entered the first floor," said Teeter. "We are in the bottoms, but the house is the highest point of any house in the bottoms," she added. The house has had water in the basement, but floodwaters have only lapped at the steps.
The 160-acre Weaver farm, which was purchased in 1899 by their grandmother's bachelor uncle, Charley Pittman, was recently honored as a Saline County "Century Farm" for having continuously been in one family for over 100 years.
Jim was nine months old when they moved into the house in 1938, along with his older sister, Margaret. Twins Dorothy and Delores were born in the house.
Although they don't remember him, according to the family stories their great Uncle Charley was "eccentric." He never went anywhere without a bandana around his neck and never tied his shoes. He also tied the doors to his car open, "so if he got in a wreck he could get out," said Joyce Weaver, Jim's wife.
At one time there was a store in the house, after the town of Lanesville, west of the house, was moved because the river had cut into the town. Pittman didn't run the store -- apparently someone else did -- but he lived above it, they said.
Pittman's sister was Annie Pittman Van Meter, who along with her husband, Abel, donated land for what is today known as Van Meter State Park. Weaver said he recently found out that Charley also donated land for the park.
Family stories say Pittman died in 1937 underneath a shade tree while taking a nap.
"There was a bench or a table that he took a nap under every afternoon and one day he just didn't wake up," said Weaver.
The Weaver's father, Herbert, made his living off the one farm, where they raised livestock and corn.
"For a long time, that is all Dad had to farm -- that one farm. He raised a lot of hogs and made more money off the hogs, feeding the corn," said Weaver. "That's the way he supported us, with livestock," said Weaver.
"He always said the hogs saved him during the depression," added Teeters. At that time all the farmers had livestock, unlike today when many farmers are specialized.
Weaver remembers his Dad having a team of mules, but doesn't remember him taking them to the field. "He used to feed with the mules," he said.
At one time the farm was divided into 10 different fields for the livestock, but what fences were left in 1993 after the flood have since been cleared. They sold off the hogs in the 1970s and cows in the 1980s, said Weaver.
Weaver said they got electricity in the house in the early 1940s, and running water became available in 1948. "That is when they dug the basement and put the bathroom on," he added.
Their mother, Agnes Weaver, lived in the house until the flood of 1993, when health problems and flood waters across the road made it necessary for them to move her out. "Nobody wanted her on the other side of that water," Weaver said. She stayed at her children's homes until they found a place for her to rent in town, said Sadewhite.
"She told everybody that she wanted to be on the farm, but the flood moved her to town," Teeter said.
Their father died in February of 1993. "We were glad he had farmed all of those years, gone through all of those floods, but did not have to witness the 1993 flood," said Teeter.
Although it didn't damage the house, the flood of 1993 did change their land, including taking between 11 and 15 acres out of production, because of the 15 feet of sand that was poured onto the ground where the levy broke west of the farm.
The water hole is on someone else's farm, taking 27 acres out of production on that farm. "They got the hole and we got the sand," said Teeter. After the flood, they had 65 acres deep-plowed mixing the sand on top of the ground with the gumbo dirt below.
"We had 65 acres of sand, we re-leveled it and deep plowed it," Weaver said.
Of the ground that was still in production, in many cases the yields were better.
"Virtually the whole bottom was better after the flood than it was before because of the fill dirt that came in," said Weaver, adding that some of that is disappearing now.
They recalled other floods that have hit the Malta Bend river bottoms.
"Other floods, other people have lost, but we had never lost until 1993," said Teeters.
"Before 1951, there were a lots of little floods in '47 and '42," said Weaver, "but it was '51 and '93 that were the big floods that everything was destroyed," Weaver said.
Before the flood of 1951, there were several small floods, but the waters receded in time to still plant a crop.
Weaver is now retired and his oldest son, Jim, farms the family's ground.

In 1856, Joseph Kasper Pittman and Frederick Pittman, sons of Maria Ann "Mariana" Degenhart Pittman, wife of Casper Joseph Pittman, decided to come to America. They were of age to be taken into military service in the Prussian Army. They promised to send money back to their mother and family in Westphalia, Prussia, so they could come to America. Two years later the fulfilled their promise to her and sent her the money for the transportation to America. Maria Anna (Mariana) Drage Degenhardt Pittman, (widow of Casper Joseph Pittman, son of Frank and Elizabeth Teiple Pittman) and her children. Theresa Pittman Hillebrand (born 1822) and her family, Frederika Pittman Meschede (born 1830) and her family, and Angelica "Lena" Pittman Henke (born 1840) and her family, John Charles Pittman (born 1827) and his family, left Callenhardt, Westphalia together and made the trip overland to Bremen, arriving the evening of March 10, 1858, to board the ship, "The Grosse Hermann" for their transportation to America.
Their voyage across the Atlantic took eleven weeks. On their way across Anthony, youngest son of Theresa and Frank Hillebrand, became very ill and died and was buried at sea. The party landed at New Orleans, Louisiana, May 28, 1858. Here they boarded a riverboat and came up the Mississippi River and nine days later as St. Louis, Missouri where Frederick and Joseph Pittman were awaiting them. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Meschede and family stayed in St. Louis until 1866 than came to Saline County, the Petit Saux Plains. Joseph Pittman, Fred Pittman, Charles Pittman, Maria Anna Pittman (mother) and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hillebrand (Theresa), Mr. and Mrs. Henry Henke and their families came on the riverboat to Miami, Missouri, and later moved to Laynesville, Missouri, just west of Miami, Missouri. The Missouri River has changed its channel and Laynesville is now on the north side of the Missouri River and a good distance from the present river bank.
Research Notes: The above transcripts is initially incorrect on the ship being named the Grosse Hermann, the correct name is the John Hermann. Also, the family didn't arrive in New Orleans on May 28, 1858, they arrived on May 20, 1858. This is supported by original ship passenger log, including several more documents.

A letter was written by Mrs. Lucille Pittman Hisle to the wife of Dr. Fink in Bad Kreuznach on January 10, 1996. It was forwarded by Mrs. Fink to the town of Meschede. There they have access to church records for information to be dispatched where needed. Concerning the family Puttmann in Eversberg they gathered the following:
In Eversberg the wedding is recorded as Joseph Puttmann, Tuchmacher and Elizabeth Teipel. Note: "Tuchmacher" definition "macher at the end means "maker". Tuch has 2 meanings. It can indicate he was a weaver of cloth, or "Tuch" is the name in German given to small cloth items such as head coverings such as shawls, scarf or kerchiefs (neckerchief) or dusters, which in the early 1900's were worn and called dust caps to keep the hair clean.
Then named is: Joseph Puttmann was born Sept. 18, 1795 in Ruthen. Son of Kammerer Franz Puttmann and wife Elizabeth Teipel of Ruthen. Elizabeth died on June 13, 1852 in Eversberg. The church marriage of Joseph Puttmann was to Maria Anna Degenhardt named Kenters. Note: "Kenters" may indicate that she had previously married and now had the name Kenters. Nonetheless, the marriage took place in Eversberg. Maria Anna Degenhardt was born Oct 26, 1799 in Eversberg; daughter of Mr. Mrs. Joannis Degenhardt (wife Theresia Droge Degenhardt). From this marriage the following children are recorded:
Theresia Puttmann
Born: August 25, 1822. After her marriage to Frank Hillebrand on October 8, 1851, her church membership was transferred to Dorlar.
Friedericus Puttmann
Born: October 7, 1824
Johannes Carl Puttmann (Changed name to John Charles Pittman on arrival to America).
Born: September 24, 1827. Married to Elizabeth Meschede (born on February 2, 1827 in Callenhardt, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Eberhand Meschede, wifes name Ferdinandina nee Risse, citizens and farmers at Callenhardt).
Frederica Puttmann
Born: March 13, 1830. She married on August 19, 1849 in Kallenhard. Note: Here "Kallenhard was entered with the "K" instead of the former "C".
Clemens Puttmann
Born: December 22, 1832
Died: October 19, 1833
Casper Joseph Puttmann
Born: August 1, 1835
Maria Angelina Puttmann
Born: July 15, 1840
After the family Puttmann emigrated into America in 1857 and 1858, the family name Puttmann gradually faded away. Only the house is still identified as the Puttmann house.
Kallenhard (Callanhardt in former times) is the place where the Puttmann's arrived in this area, coming from Fredenburg about 40 miles south of Ruthen. Paster Heinrich Puttmann lived here from 1762 to 1810. He was likely the uncle of Maria Elisabeth and Johannes Franz Puttmann, both born in Fredenburg also. In 1777 Maria Elisabeth Puttmann married Bernard Antonius Teipel in Kallenhardt, and his sister Maria Elisabeth Teipel married Johannes Franz Puttmann in 1781.
When Franz Puttmann died in 1797, his uncle Heinrich, Pastor in Kallenhardt from 1782 to 1810, became guardian of the children on November 19, 1800: Franziska (married), Anna Elisabeth (16 years), Franz Heinrich (14 years), Theresia (11 years), and Caspar Josef (6 years). The mother Maria Elisabeth Teipel, married again, Casper Anton Impolet on April 15, 1799. She had three more children, and died in Ruthen May 10, 1811.
The family name of Puttmann is on record in Ruthen and further information can be found there. The Ruthen parish or personage has the following address:

HILLEBRAND, Henry Sr. - 1844 - 1923 Englewood HI-HZ/Clinton/Henry
Henry Hillebrand, Sr., who was born in Harth, Westphalia, Germany, on June 5th, 1844, died at his home six miles southwest of Clinton, Missouri, November 19th, 1923, at three o'clock p.m., aged 79 years, 5 months and 14 days. He came to the United States in April 1868, and located in Saline county, Mo. He was married to Miss Theresa Meschede, of near Miami, Mo., April 16, 1871, and made their home near there until March, 1906, when he moved to Henry county, and bought the farm where he spent his last days. Eight sons were born to them, namely - John H. and Fred H., of Urich, Mo.; Richard J., of Shackelford, Mo.; Joe F., of Napton, Mo.; Edward W. of Clinton, Mo., and Vincent E., and Henry Jr., of Creighton, Mo. Francis A., the youngest son, passed away at the home place December 13, 1918, aged 25 years. In 1897 he took into his home a little girl named Jessie May, not quite three years old, and raised her as one of his own children until the year, 1916, she went to Parsons, Kansas, and several years later she was united in marriage to Lewis Srack, but after his death several years later, she went to California, and for almost three years, now, her friends here have not heard from her, so none could send her word of her foster father's death. He was a good neighbor, a faithful, loving husband, a true Christian father and a devoted grandfather. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, seven sons, eight granddaughters and ten grandsons, and one little three year old granddaughter and a tiny grandson have gone on before. On Wednesday morning, November 21st, 1923, at 9 o'clock, the funeral service was held at his late home by Rev. S. G. McCluney, of the Presbyterian churches, of Urich, and Creighton, Mo. Brother McCluney emphasized the fact that his influence would live after him, and do good in the lives of the sons he reared and the friends and neighbors he knew. The songs were: "God Will Take Care of You", "Under His Wing" and "Rock of Ages" sung by members of the Urich Presbyterian church. Six of his sons were pallbearers, while the seventh son, Fred, tried to comfort and assist his mother who is now left alone in her 73rd year. May God comfort the bereaved ones in this sad hour, for we shall all miss grandpa, his kind words, his smiling face and outstretched hand bidding us welcome. His body was laid to rest in beautiful Englewood, east of Clinton, near his son, Francis, there to await the resurrection.
HILLEBRAND, Henry

Henry Hillebrand is a native of Missouri, one of the state's sterling school men, and has been engaged in the work of teaching and administering public schools in different parts of the state for about thirty years. He was born in one of the richest counties of Central Missouri, at the old town of Shackelford in Saline County, March 9, 1876. His father, Henry Hillebrand, was born at Harth, Germany, in 1844, lived there during his boyhood and early youth, and about 1869 came to the United States. He located at Lanesville in Saline County, and for a long period of years was numbered among the progressive farmers of that locality, and about 1906 moved to Clinton in Henry County, Missouri, where he continued farming until his death on December 13, 1924. He was a Democrat in his political affiliations, and lived the life of a devout Christian. He married Theresa Meschede, who was born in Germany in 1850, and was brought to the United States by her parents in 1859. She grew up among relatives in Saline County, and her father, Richard Meschede, afterwards settle in that county, having spent his first years in this country at Saint Louis. He was a farmer near Lanesville and lived out his life there. He married a Miss Pittman, a native of Germany, who died in Saline County when eighty-six years of age. The children of Henry Hillebrand and wife were: John, a farmer at Urich, Missouri; Richard J., who owns and operates the old Hillebrand homestead at Shackleford; Henry Hillebrand; Joe, a farmer at Marshall, Missouri; Ed, a farmer at Clinton; Fred, a resident of Urich and since 1911 a rural mail carrier; Vince E., a farmer at Creighton, Missouri; and Francis, a farmer, who died at Clinton in 1918 of the influenza, when twenty-five years of age. Mr. Henry Hillebrand, a Missouri farm boy, had the advantages of the rural schools of Saline County, and in 1897 entered the Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg. In the intervals of his teaching he continued his work there during summer sessions until 1925, when he was graduated with the Bachelor of Science degree in education. He taught his first term of rural school in 1898, and has had five years of rural school experience. During that time he taught in Calhoun, Henry and Saline counties. For three years he was principal of the high school at Calhoun, for one year was superintendent of schools at Urich, and four years superintendent at Deepwater. After he had been superintendent of schools at Humansville for three years he left school work in 1918, during the World war, and took up farming in Henry County. However, the call of educational work was too strong to resist and in 1921 he became superintendent of schools at Shawnee Mound. He was superintendent at Creighton from 1923 to 1926, and after another year on his farm at Creighton came to Farber in Audrain County, in the fall of 1927, and became superintendent in that progressive little town of Northeastern Missouri. Mr. Hillebrand has always kept in touch with educational interests and is a member of the Missouri State and Kansas State Teachers Associations. He is a Democrat in politics, a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and is affiliated with the Masonic Lodge at Humansville and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Urich. He married at Calhoun, Missouri, December 31, 1901, Miss Edna Hudson, daughter of Rev. Martin D. and Sarah E. (Crow) Hudson. Her mother resides at Deepwater, Missouri. Her father was a minister of the Presbyterian Church and in his earlier years did a great deal of work as a circuit rider in South Missouri counties. Mr. and Mrs. Hillebrand have four children: Martin, a graduate of the Deepwater High School, has been looking after the home farm at Creighton; Henry B., who graduated from the high school at Deepwater in 1926, is also a farmer; Herbert and Homer, the two younger sons, are still in school.

The below information was provided by Andy and Kelly Mears:
Henry Hillebrand's will from Henry County, Missouri. It was written in the 1912 and the gist of it is that his wife Theresa gets everything. Upon her death, each child (8 sons, 1 daughter) gets $1,000, except for Frederick who got $2,000. Then I guess there was a falling out of some sort, because he made a codicil in 1914 that gave daughter Jessie only $100. Apparently he was sick, because he made a second codicil confirming the first. Anyway, I thought it was interesting, and you might too.
"LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT -
Know all men by these presents, that I, Henry Hillebrand, of the County of Henry, State of Missouri, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do make, publish and declare this to be my last will and testament after mature consideration, hereby revoking and making null and void all other former last wills and testaments by me heretofore made.

THIRD - I give, bequesth [sic] and devise to my beloved wife, Theresa Hillebrand, the sum of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00), being the amount of my life insurance, to belong to her absolutely and to do with as she may see fit and proper.
