Published in Bonne Terre Democrat-Register (Bonne Terre, Missouri) on Sept. 7, 1900:
Last Monday about noon Annie the little three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Zimmer, fell into a tin boiler of scalding water, from the effects of which she died Tuesday morning. It appears that Mrs. Zimmer, while washing that morning, was taken ill and laid down. About noon she got up, lifted the boiler off the stove and placed it on the floor, preparatory to getting dinner and after placing some things on the stove laid down again. Mr. Zimmer came in shortly afterwards and little Annie was brushing about the floor with a broom. He told her to stop it and she commenced to back away from him toward the boiler, and striking against it fell over with one arm in the water. Before her father could reach her she was badly scalded from the shoulder down one side. Dr. Madison was called in, but despite all that could be done the littler sufferer, after lingering until the following morning, died from the shock and the burns. It is a sad and distressing affair in which the stricken parents have the sympathy of all our people.---Farmington Times.

Personen : Hildebrand Samuel S. "Sam"
Sam Hildebrand was one of the most notorious southern guerrilla leaders to operate in the Southeast Missouri Region. He was born in 1836 in a home that had been built by his father near the Big River in 1832. Hildebrand's reign of terror began following the murder of his brother by Union vigilantes in Ste. Genevieve County at the start of the war. Hildebrand himself was attacked by Union soldiers at his farm in the Flatwoods area of St. Francois County. The wounded Hildebrand was taken to a rebel camp in Greene County, Arkansas where he was commissioned a major by Confederate General Jeff Thompson.
When he recovered, Hildebrand returned to the county and killed the two men he believed to be responsible. In retaliation, Federal troops burned the Hildebrand home and killed his 13 year old brother. Neighbors built a log cabin near the burned-out family home for his mother. Operating from a Confederate base in Arkansas, Hildebrand's knowledge of the area allowed him to make repeated forays into Southeast Missouri, often returning to the small community of Big River Mills north of Bonne Terre for supplies. A network of Confederate sympathizers provided Hildebrand and his men shelter and food, allowing them to escape Union traps.
For several weeks in 1864, Hildebrand and his men commandeered the St. Joe Lead Mines and manufactured lead for General Sterling Price to be used during his invasion of Missouri. Afterwards Price ordered the furnaces blown up so that they would not fall into Federal hands. The lead was stored near Big River Mills. While recovering the lead, Hildebrand's men were attached by federal troops under Major Samuel Montgomery at Tyler's Mill at Big River. According to Montgomery, twenty one confederates were killed.
Hildebrand's raids earned him a hatred which lasted long after the war ended. Sam Hildebrand was killed in Pinckneyville, Illinois by a sheriff's deputy in May of 1872. He was buried in what is now the Hampton Cemetery in Park Hills. The grave is marked by a simple stone. Hildebrand's brother, William, served in the Union army.
In Park Hills, along old State Route 8, visitors can still view the 164 year old home of Dick Berryman, now a private residence. One of Hildebrand's closest friends, Berryman accompanied Hildebrand on several of his deadly raids into Southeast Missouri. During the war the house served as an underground recruiting center for the Confederate cause. One of Hildebrand's many local hideouts, the cave in St. Francois State Path in northern St. Francois County, still bears his name.
Events in Ste. Genevieve County also played a role in the emergence of the southern guerrilla leader Sam Hildebrand. While attempting to enlist in the Union army in November of 1861, Frank Hildebrand, Sam's brother, was arrested by Union vigilantes who sought a death warrant from a St. Francois County judge on a charge of horse stealing. The judge insisted on a fair trial, and Hildebrand was taken before Judge R. M. Cole in Ste. Genevieve County. When Judge Cole also insisted on due process, Frank was taken outside town and hung without trial, an event which fueled Sam Hildebrand's hatred of the north, and his determination to have revenge.
Guerrilla Bands in Bollinger
and Ste. Francois Counties of Missouri
The Sam Hildebrand story
by Pitter Seabaugh
When Sam's brother, Frank, was accused of horse stealing and was hanged in 1861 after turning himself in, Sam killed two of the men responsible and became a fugitive. He was driven from his home town and his family was made destitute. He found friends among the southern sympathizers and was given a commission as major in the Confederate Army. Fighting and fleeing throughout months of guerilla warfare, he raided Federal camps and private enemies alike in the name of the cause he
believed right.
At the close of the war Sam Hildebrand continued his depredations, and rewards were offered for him dead or alive. He was pursued by many posses and was finally shot and killed in Illinois in 1872.
Old George Hildebrand and his wife Rebecca McKee had done a fairly good job of raising their children. Their children were Frank, William ,Washington, Samuel S, Henry and Mary Ann. Sam was born January 6, 1836 on the north side of Big River near Bonne Terre. Sams grandfather, David Hildebrand had settled on Big River about 1802 where he died at the age of one hundred. His son George moved there in 1832. In 1850 George Hildebrand died leaving the farm and home for the boys to manage, which they did with more than ordinary success.
In 1861 Sam and his brother Frank was accused of stealing Firman Mcllvaine's finest mare. Sam swore that he and Frank didn't steal the mare. Prior to losing his fine mare, Mcllvaine had no trouble with the Hildebrand's and they had known each other all their lives. This was a very common practice of the white man at this time. Many American Indians were being falsely charged with theft, for an Indian could not testify against a white man. The white man wanted and needed more land and the non-reservation Indians had land. Since they were American Indian, the easiest way to get the land was to charge them with false theft charges and charge them fines that they could not pay. Their land was then auctioned off on the courthouse steps to the highest bidder who could pay the fine. This legal land grabbing theft was called the "Old Mule Trick." A white farmer would just chase one of his mules or horses into the Indians fenced in property. Then he would ride into town and tell the Sheriff the Indian had stolen his livestock.
After the Federal forces learned that Sam had killed both Cornicius and Mcllvaine (in retaliation of his brothers death), orders were sent with intentions of taking vengeance on Sam. Concentrating on the Hildebrand homestead, they ordered Sam's elderly mother to leave the county as they intended to burn the house and barns and destroy all their property. The only thing she could keep was her family Bible and her bed. She took what she had and moved to the home of her brother, Harvey McKee.
On July 6th, 1862 the militia swooped down on the mining camp and opened fire on Sam's little sister Mary Ann, her fiancé Landusky, and Sam's brother Washington. Flanches whole company fired their musket balls into these to men, literally tearing them to pieces.
On July 10th, Captain Esroger went to the home of John Roan, a fifty five year old uncle of Sam's. He was taken about a mile from his home and shot to death.
On July 23rd, Captain Adolph and another Federal Captain went to the Hilderbrand homestead. They killed Sam's little thirteen year old brother Henry. Shot him in the back, after telling him he could walk away. Sam watched all of this from a hill top. He decided then and there that he would get the people responsible for the deaths of his family. Sam never killed anyone who was not in the Federal services. Sam never killed a child a women, nor burned the property of even his most bitter enemy. His homestead had been burned and lost forever. The home his grandfather had built.
On July 13th, Sam, with two companions James Cab and John Burlap, had some wrongs they wanted to redress and Sam made a pact to help them. He promised that he would give them as much aid as possible. Sam later had more men join him, such as Dick Cowan, Dick Berryman, Captain Bolin, William Cato, Bill Rucker, Jesse Pigg, George Lasiter, Tom Hail, Wash Nabors, James Cato and many more. They became known as there Hildebrand gang. Sam made mention of Dick Cowan being on many of his trips to Bloomfield and that the Rebels had burned his home in early February of 1863. Dick Cowan is buried in the Cowan Cemetery, in Wayne County Missouri.
As you will remember from a previous story, it all started with the Ripley County massacre on Christmas day of 1863, when Major Wilson and his troops killed 35 soldiers and 62 civilians.
At the Battle of Pilot Knob on September of 1864, Major James Wilson and six of his men were captured then killed by the Confederates.
Daniel McGee had led a group in guerrilla warfare against the Union. He became a marked man. On February 4th, 1863 Union soldiers, under the command of Captain K. Leeper, ambushed Daniel McGee and 28 others at the home of Simon Cato. Simon Cato was the son of Lewis Cato and older brother of Tabitha Cato McGee, who was married to Thomas Jefferson McGee. Carolyn Cato, daughter of Simon and Rebecca Cato, was married to young Ransom Ladd who was born 1829. All 29 of the Cato and McGees were killed at The Battle of Mingo Swamp. It is said that McGee was shot so many times that his torso was nearly cut in two halves. Now I don't know how much Sam Hilderbrand had to do with this but, it was reported by Hilderbrand himself that he was in the area on February 4th. He also said that his wife and children were staying at a near by home. Keep in mind his mother was a McKee.
Hildebrand reported that "on the 4th day of February, we made a charge on the Federal camp." After the battle the wounded were carried to a retreat. Sam went on to say, "we all started for Mingo Swamp. The Federals followed us, and as our march was retarded by our wounded, the Federals made their way around and charged us. They divided our line, cutting off seven of my men, whom they took prisoners. We started making our way to the St. Francis River when someone from the opposite shore called for us to bring him a horse. From his voice we knew him as William Cato, one of the seven who had been taken as a prisoner. We afterwards heard that the officer in command at Bollinger's Mill was Capt. Leeper from Ironton, Missouri."
This occurred 14 months before the Fort Pillow massacre on April 12, 1864. Daniel's brother Hugh was there. Then to top it all off on August 10, 1864, the Union went to the home of Thomas Jefferson McGee, an elderly man of 64 years, murdered him, and hid his corpse. It was not found for two weeks. They also burned his home.
Three days later they went to the home of Blair McGee and killed him in the presence of his 12 year old daughter. Finally when Hugh McGee surrendered at a designated place, he and 6 others were shot down before a firing squad on May 28, 1865. On October 28, 1864 Asa Ladd, son of Ransom Ladd born 1807, was executed in retaliation for the death of Major Wilson.
All of this leads me to think that these massacres were not a result of the civil war, but a result of these men, our ancestors, being Cherokee Indians. Too many of these killings were senseless. A note I got from Mike Ladd, in response to Major Wilson, reads: Major Wilson signed an order directing Leeper to take eighty men, dress them in "butternut" clothing, march with them to White River, find out the intention of the "Rebels" under Shelby, and on returning burn every mill, building, grain stack, and hay rick on the road," closing mysteriously with the following words underscored: "And you know I don't like to be troubled with prisoners." Among other letters were quite a number from the Honorable Charles Drake, United States Senator from Missouri, urging Leeper to do his work thoroughly and well. These letters, along with Wilson's, are in the hands of ex-Governor Thomas C. Reynolds. They will, in due time, be presented to the world, with other startling and damaging facts concerning the atrocities perpetrated by Federal soldiers in Missouri.

THE STAR NEWS-REGISTER, Bonne Terre, St. Francois Co. MO, Dec. 18, 1925.
Mary Ann Hildebrand, daughter of the late George and Rebecca Hildebrand, was born near Bonne Terre, Mo., October 15, 1848 and died Thursday morning, December 10th, aged 77 years, 1 month and 25 days.
She was united in marriage to W. D. Harris March 4th, 1866 and to this union 11 children were born, three girls and 8 boys, with only five boys and one girl surviving. They are Jas. M. Harris of Crystal City, Wm. Henry of Trout, La., John Harris of Farmington, L. G. of Crystal City, Benj. F. of St. Louis, and Mrs. Wanettie M. Pettus of Bonne Terre.
In 1868 she was converted and united with the Temperance Mission Baptist church in Jefferson County, where she remained a faithful member until death called her home. Her husband died in May 1907, and since 1919 she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Pettus in Bonne Terre.
In the passing of Mrs. Harris, death has called away the last of the Hildebrand family and in her going a good Christian woman has gone from our midst. She expressed at the time of her death that the same faith that saved was also keeping her and that she was passing into the Great Beyond to be with God.
The funeral services were held at the Baptist Church Friday afternoon at one o'clock and were conducted by Rev. J. B. Ragsdale, pastor of the church, after which interment took place in the Buster cemetery, near Valles Mines.
