Anderson McFall Journal, 1898 through 1914

Anderson McFall, a resident of Phillipsburg in the Union Township, documented daily events in his journal. These journal entries were transcribed by Martha Bernie in the year 2000 for the Laclede mailing list. McFall's journal begins in 1898 and ends in 1914.

Martha researched Anderson's life and found that he served as a judge in Laclede County and was a school teacher in early years. He was nearly 77 when he died and he did, in fact, live into l9l5, passing away on Feb. 8, 1915. He was confined to bed for more than the last year of his life, so the bad writing may have been in part due to the confinement, most likely to whatever illness he had.

Anderson McFall documented in his journal many different types of his and local residents daily activates as follows:

	Births
	Deaths
	Divorces
	Marriages
	Land sales and purchases
	The weather
	Farming activities
