Personen : Meyer Henry William
Henry W. Meyer was born at Rodewald, Hanover, Germany, June 15, 1833, and died at his home in East Bonne Terre, April 10, 1904, aged 70 years, 9 months and 26 days*. He was reared in the Lutheran church and held to that faith throughout his long and useful life. Mr. Meyer was united in marriage with Miss Angeline M. Ringer June 10, 1866. Of this union there were born thre sons and three daughters, all of whom survive their father, and with their mother mourn his death. Mr. Meyer enlisted in the Federal Army at the beginning of the Civil war and served until the end. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and many of his Comrades in Arms attended his funeral here on Monday, the Farmington Post turning out in a body and having charge of the funeral ceremonies after the sermon at Centenary Church. Mr. Meyer was a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen for more than twenty years. The long and useful life he lived in Bonne Tere, and the high esteem in which he was held by those who knew him best was attested by the very large number of friends who attended his funeral.
Although Mr. Meyer suffered very greatly in the latter end of his life, he did not complain but manifested marbable Christian fortitude to the end. He was a kind and considerate husband and affectionate and indulgent father, an honorable and upright citizen. During the latter days of his illness he expressed a firm and unwavering faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior and expressed a desire to depart and be with him. May he rest in peace.
*Note: The cemetery records have his date of death and age as follows: April 11th, 1904, aged 70y, 9m, 25d.

LOCAL BOYS IN JAIL
CONFESS ROBBERIES AFTER BLOODHOUNDS TRACK ONE --
Paul Wiggins, Steve Yasko and Chester Harris are at the present lodged in the local jail, charged with burglary and larceny. They were arrested Wednesday night by John Mostiller, after having been run down by bloodhounds, following the fourth robbery which had taken place at Less [Les] Black's restaurant and soft drink parlor.
Less Black, who rents a portion of the Vallo building on Moon Hill, has lost considerable money and merchandise in the past few months through thieves breaking in during the night and emptying the cash register and confiscating whatever cigarettes, cigars and candy they could get their hands on. Tuesday night of this week was the fourth time this year that his place was robbed, the thieves getting $40.00 in cash, a watch and a large quantity of candy and many boxes and cartons of cigarettes and cigars.
John Mostiller was notified, and having no clews [sic] to work on and deciding this practice must come to a halt, called J. F. Meyer at Cape Girardeau and procured his bloodhounds. They were brought up here Wednesday and taken to Les Black's place, but did not leave the place, but instead going over to Paul Wiggins, who was in there at the time. This unusual procedure caused the authorities to question and grill Paul, who finally broke down and confessed that he and the two others before named were the ones who had broken into and stolen the goods and money from Black's place. Paul Wiggins was immediately placed in jail and the two others soon after. All three have confessed and have returned some of the stolen property. At the present they are sitting in jail waiting for the parents to try and get bondsmen to go their bonds, which will be placed at $1000.00 each. Their preliminary trial is set for August 17th, at which time they will probably be bound over to the Circuit Court.

Personen : Floyd Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy"
Charles Arthur Floyd, soon to be called "Chock" Floyd, was born on February 3, 1904 in Georgia, one of seven children, but moved to a small farming community in Oklahoma, which he was to call home. His parents had a small farm, they were dirt-poor. His father spent most of his time trying to stay one step ahead of foreclosure. Droughts, plagues and dust storms brought farm production down to a crawl. In an attempt to help keep themselves fed the family became involved in the bootlegging business.
In 1921 he married 16 year old Ruby Hargrove, they eventually had a son, Jack Dempsey Floyd. Money was scarce. Looking for a better life he left his home and travelled north looking for harvest work. Many nights were spent in hobo camps.
Charles was ready to work but there just wasn't any available. Eventually he gave up looking and brought his first gun. It wasn't long after that, at the age of 18, he pulled his first crime. He held up a post office for $350 in pennies. This was "easy money". He was arrested on suspicion of the crime but his father gave him an alibi.
He took the train to St. Louis where he robbed a Kroger store of approximately $16,000. The money kept them for a few weeks but after spending it on expensive clothes and big meals they were broke again. He was arrested because local police found it suspicious that he had new clothes and a new Ford. When they searched his house they found some of the money still in it's wrapper. He was sentenced to 5 years in the Jefferson City Penitentiary. During his incarceration his wife gave birth to their son, Jackie, and divorced him. He was released after 3 years and vowed never to be locked up again.
On a visit to his parents farm he discovered that his father had been shot to death in a family feud with J. Mills. The accused was aquitted of the crime. Charles took his father's rifle went into the hills and J. Mills was never seen again.
In the mid 1920's Floyd lived and operated in the East Liverpool, Ohio area as a hired gun for the bootleggers and rum-runners along the Midland, PA and Steubenville, OH stretch of the Ohio River.
He became most notorious after he left the East Liverpool area. He headed west and found refuge in "Tom's Town" ( now Kansas City ), a town run by Tom Pendegast. Hired guns, murderer's and successful gangsters hung out here. It was here that he learned to use a machine gun and aquires the nickname "Pretty Boy". It was a name given him by a madam, Beulah Baird Ash, in a brothel and he hated it. However, it stuck and made him into a colorful criminal. Floyd is reputed to have maintained relationships with both Ruby and Beulah throughout the rest of his life even posing as their husbands under assumed names.
During the next 12 years he robbed as many as 30 banks, killing 10 men. During his crime sprees in Oklahoma the bank insurance rates doubled. He filed a notch in his pocket-watch for everyone he killed.
His first bank robbery is reported to have been the Farmers and Merchants bank in Sylvania, Ohio. Floyd was arrested at his Akron, Ohio hideout for this crime. He was tried and convicted but escaped by jumping out of the train window near Kenton, Ohio while on his way to the Ohio Penitentiary.
The first person he killed was a police officer, Ralph Castner, who stopped him from robbing a Bowling Green, Ohio bank on April 16, 1931. At this time Floyd was accompanied by William (Willis) Miller, known as "Billy the Killer", Beulah and her sister Rose. A clerk in a store recognized them when they were purchasing dresses for the women. The clerk alerted the police who arrived as the group were walking down the street. As they ordered the group to stop, Floyd and Miller opened fire. Castner was killed, Chief Carl Galliher dropped to the ground, killing Miller and injuring Beulah, 21. Rose Baird, 23 was captured but Floyd escaped in a car.
On June 17, 1933 Floyd and an associate, Adam Richetti were reported as the culprits behind the "Union Station Massacre" in Kansas City where 5 men including FBI agent, Raymond Caffrey were gunned down in an attempt to free Frank "Gentleman" Nash a notorious underworld figure. Floyd maintained to his death that he was never involved in this crime.
During the next 17 months Floyd and Richetti were hunted by every law enforcement officer in the country. After the capture and death of John Dillinger, Floyd was named as Public Enemy No.1 with a $23,000 dollar dead or alive reward on his head.
Floyds reign of terror brought him back to the East Liverpool area.
On October 19, 1934 he was spotted after three men dressed as hunters and carrying shotguns robbed the Tiltonsville Peoples Bank. Both Adam Richetti and "Pretty Boy" Floyd were positively identified as two of the men involved. Police and FBI were put on alert throughout Ohio for the suspects. The following day a shootout between two criminals and the Wellsville, Ohio Police ended in the capture of Richetti. Floyd escaped, kidnapping a Wellsville florist and stealing his car.
On October 22, 1934 things would finally come to a fatal end for "Pretty Boy" Floyd. The local police were called out, including Chief McDermott and patrolman Chester Smith. Firearms were issued, but Smith refused a weapon, instead, he kept his 32-20 Winchester Rifle. He told everyone that if they found Floyd he would be running. They checked all the backroads in the area that Floyd had been reported. Finally they came to the Conkle farm on Sprucevale Rd.
Floyd had knocked on the Conkle farm door posing as a lost hunter and had asked for a ride to the bus line. Ellen Conkle took pity on him and welcomed him into her home, feeding him a meal for which he paid $1. After eating, Mrs. Conkle volunteered her brother, Stewart Dyke, to drive Floyd to the bus station. The Dyke's and Floyd were getting into the car when two police cars were spotted speeding along the narrow dirt road. Floyd jumped from the car to hide behind a corn crib.
As the police approached the farm they spotted a man behind the corn crib. Chester Smith recognized the face. Floyd started to flee. After being told to halt and not doing so Smith fired a shot from his rifle hitting Floyd in the arm. Floyd dropped his gun, grabbed his right forearm where he had been hit, but still jumped up and continued to run, darting for cover in the wooded area nearby. After another call to halt which also went unheeded Floyd was shot again, in his back right shoulder. The federal agents and local police all started firing at this time. Floyd fell to the ground, his gun by his side. Smith checked the body, he was not yet dead, and noticed that Floyd had another weapon in his belt. He had two Colt .45 automatics but never fire a single shot. Patrolmen Smith, Roth and Montgomery carried Floyd to the shade of an apple tree. "He was alive when we carried him to the apple tree. But he died then within minutes." Smith said. A call was placed to J. Edgar Hoover. Smith recalls, "Floyd was dead before Purvis returned (about 4:25 p.m.). We put Floyd's body in the back seat of the local police car, propping him up between me and Curly. That's how we hauled him to East Liverpool and turned him over to the Sturgis Funeral Home." Floyd had $120 in his pockets.
There is much speculation about the actual events of the fateful day. One report states that Agent Purvis of the FBI ordered Floyd shot whilst he was sitting under the apple tree because he refused to answer when asked if he was involved in the Kansas City Massacre.
Smith's daughter said that Smith took the days events in a matter-of-fact way, coming home late for supper and just stating that he didn't have time to eat because he had just shot "Pretty Boy" Floyd. He washed up, changed and went back to work.
At 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday October 23, 1934 Charles Arthur " Pretty Boy " Floyd's body left East Liverpool in a baggage car. One year before at the Akins Cemetery in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, Floyd had told his mother, "Right here is where you can put me. I expect to go down soon with lead in me. Maybe the sooner the better. Bury me deep. " 20,000 people attended his funeral. His head stone has been desecrated by souvenir hunters and was stolen in 1985. A new headstone now marks his grave.

One of Interest to Our Readers.
Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we hesitated to believe it at first hearing, we feel secure in accepting its truth now. The following experience of a Bonne Terre man is confirmed after six years.
James F. Thornton, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are a fine kidney remedy. I used them for a dull ache in my back. It used to hurt me severely to stoop over and I was sometimes annoyed by dizzy spells and bad headaches. I was bothered terribly by irregular passages of the kidney secretions. Often the secretions passed too often and then again, they didn't pass often enough. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me."
Mr. Thornton gave the above statement on December 21, 1912 and on November 8, 1916, he added: "Continue to say I am a very strong endorser of Doan's Kidney Pills, for they have never failed to give me benefit. I keep them on hand now to use as a preventive, although it hasn't been necessary for me to use them in a long time.
Price 60-cents, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy -- get Doan's Kidney Pills -- the same that Mr. Thornton had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N.Y.
