The history of the
Polk County (Mo.) Baptist Association
By J. W. Haines - THE
BOLIVAR HERALD. BOLIVAR, MO 1897
- Charles Edson Higgins -
Charles Edson Higgins, son of Edson J. and Mary E.
Higgins, was born in Kane county, Illinois, August 24, 1868. His
father was a direct descendant of the Puritans, who landed at
Plymouth in 1620. His mother was a descendant of Walter Palmer,
who also was a Puritan and one of the leading families of New
England. His parents moved to Henry county, Missouri, in the fall of
1869, where his father engaged in school teaching and stock raising
until the spring of 1875, when they moved to St. Clair county,
Missouri, where he gave his entire attention to farming and stock
dealing, which he followed with marked success until the summer of
1882, when, overcome with constant toil, he was attacked with
typhoid fever, and, after an illness of five weeks, died September
27, 1882. He had been a graduate of Poughkeepsie college, New York,
and, appreciating the value of an education, resolved that his
children should be thoroughly endowed with education. But he had
purchased six hundred acres of land, and had not completed the
payments at the time of his death. This brought greater
responsibility upon the mother and Charles, who was then only
fourteen years of age, but by careful management the last payment
was made, and their home was their own. Charles E. professed
religion at the age of twelve years, and united with the Cumberland
Presbyterian church at Chalk Level at the age of sixteen. He has
been an earnest worker in the cause of Christ and an uncompromising
opponent of the liquor traffic.
He was married August 2, 1888, to Miss Docia Garnett. One
child, Mary Emogene, was born to them July 20, 1891. Miss
Garnett was born in St. Clair county, Missouri, September 29, 1868.
She was a young lady of amiable qualities, a true Christian, and
possessed a good education. Since her marriage she has been the
friendly advisor and encouraging supporter of her husband in all his
trials and difficulties, and he attributes much of his success in
life to her kindly sympathy. In the press of business he never lost
his desire for an education. He visited his brother, who was
attending Southwest Baptist college, and was particularly attracted
toward the college on account of the religious as well as
intellectual training received by the students. He resolved to enter
its walls and qualify himself for life's duties. And, though in the
midst of cruel gibes and false predictions, he entered the college
September 6, 1892, and graduated in the spring' of 1895 with
the degree of B. S. And afterward he was chosen to preside over a
select school at Pleasant Hope. But the president of his alma mater
laid hands upon him and secured his services as assistant teacher,
and he has filled the place acceptably since the fall of 1895 to the
present, 1897.

- Inquiry from the

Looking for information on the father and mother of Benjamin
Floyd Higgins born in Missouri about 1844. He married
Eleanorah (Ellen) Brink born in Missouri 1848. In an 1860
census, it lists a "Fillmore" as the head of house born in Illinois
about 1809 and no wife....
Does anyone have any information to share?

WILLIAM F. HIGGINS.
William F. Higgins, secretary and treasurer of the Higgins. Leather
Company of St. Louis, was born in Bardstown, Nelson county,
Kentucky, August 30, 1880, a son of Francis S. and B. M. Higgins who
were also natives of the Blue Grass state. The father was a leather
merchant of Louisville, Kentucky, for thirty years and in 1894
removed to St. Louis where he engaged in the leather business at
Third and Locust streets, continuing there for five years. In 1900
he located at 1107 Franklin avenue and carried on the business up to
the time of his death which occurred in 1917. In the intervening
years he had built up a business of extensive proportions, covering
not only St. Louis but a large section of the southwest and he
became one or the leading leather merchants, first of Kentucky and
afterward of Missouri.
William F. Higgins is the eldest of a family of five children. He
was educated in Christian Brothers College at Louisville, Kentucky,
and at St. Mary's College of Kansas. His business training was
received under his father's direction and following the demise of
Mr. Higgins the son continued the business and is now the secretary
and treasurer of the Higgins Leather Company. The firm handles
several lines of leather and shoe machinery, also everything for
shoe repair shops, and employs four traveling salesmen to cover the
southwest and also sell largely to the St. Louis trade. The extent
of the business makes it one of the profitable industries of St.
Louis.
In 1902 in this city Mr. Higgins was married to Miss Clara Bouche, a
daughter of Mrs. Mary Bouche of St. Louis, and they now reside at
No. 4116 Botanical avenue. Mr. Higgins belongs to the Missouri
Athletic Association and the Recreation Club. He is a member of the
Catholic church and his political allegiance is that of the
democratic party. His time and attention, however, are largely
concentrated upon his business affairs and for fifteen years he has
been associated with the firm and and is now one of the officials.
He was a traveling salesman for about twelve years and was then
elected secretary and treasurer, in which capacity he has since
continued. His progress is due to his capability, progressiveness

"PLEASANT GROVE," RESIDENCE OF JOSEPH C. HIGGINS.
Joseph Higgins residence
- A History of Blackwater Township -
JOSEPH C. HIGGINS.
Was born in Hampshire County, Va., Feb. 27,1819. His father, James
Higgins, was a native of Bath County, Va. In 1820 the family removed
to Union County, Ky., where the mother died in 1826. Soon after the
death of his wife the father returned to Virginia, where he resided
till 1842, then emigrated to Missouri and located near Jefferson
City, Cole County. In the spring of 1850 J. C. Higgins started on a
trip to California and was taken sick at Sacramento City, where he
remained till March, 1851, then embarked for New Orleans. The vessel
was driven off the coast of South America; finally,however, he
arrived at the Crescent City via Havana, having experienced a long
and eventful voyage. He then returned by Mississippi to St. Louis,
thence to Cole County. In 1851 he came to Pettis County and
purchased a large tract of land, which is now a portion of his farm,
and began improvements thereon. His first purchase was 200 acres,
which has been increased to 3,000,
and a portion subsequently given to his children. Most of his home
farm lies east of his residence, and comprises as good land as can
be found anywhere. The vineyard and garden are just west of the
residence, beyond which is the creek and abundance of good timber.
Mr. Higgins has been twice married: First, in 1S39, to Miss Mary
Parker, a native of Virginia. She died in 1845, leaving three
children: John P., now a farmer with a family in Houstonia Township;
James M., now a farmer with a family in Houstonia Township, and
Joseph P., now a farmer with a family in Blackwater Township. In
1847 Mr. Higgins was married to Miss Ellen Dellinger, daughter of
Henry Dellinger, a native of Maryland. She died in May. 1863,
leaving four children: Samuel D., still at home; H. Clay, a farmer
with a family in Houstonia Township; Sallie E., now wife of Chas.
Buckner, attorney, Brownsville, Saline County; and Win. Copsey,
still at home. Mr. Higgins still retains more than
1,000 acres of land and has one of the finest and most agreeably
arranged residences in Pettis County, a view of which appears on the
preceding page. His farm residence, " Pleasant Grove," is surrounded
by a grassy lawn, growing large forest trees, oak, walnut and
locust. The mansion was planned by Mr. Higgins himself and built by
Thos. Maddox, of Knobnoster, and cost about $10,000. It contains
twelve rooms, with ample hallway, facilitating the entering of each
room without passing through another. It is finished and furnished
in elegant style. In his herd he has a fine white steer weighing
2,400 pounds. His stock and other farm work is overseen by himself
and his sons, though "Joe," a deaf and dumb negro man, who has not
slept off the farm since 1852, is considered by Mr. Higgins and
family one of the best farm servants in the State. Though he can not
read or write, hence does not know his own name, yet he can perform
any kind of work at a mere
suggestion by gestures. Mr. Higgins is doing an extensive stock
business, dealing in all kinds of stock, principally at present in
mules. During the month of January, 1882, $18,000 worth of mules;
February. $17,000; March, $14,000; April, $7,t'00, and May about
$7,000. Undoubtedly he is the largest mule dealer between St. Louis
and Kansas City. Mr. Higgins has been a man of great energy and
enterprise since early youth, and to-day is one of the most active,
enterprising and leading business men of Pettis County.
His children;

I am having a hard time
trying to find anything on my few Higgins people.
What I have right now is a Catherine/Katherine Higgins,
b. 24 Dec. 1812,
who married
Harrison Hatcher in 1830 in Cape Girardeau Co., MO.
Missouri Marriage Record
Name: Harrison Hatcher Spouse Name: Catharine Higens
Marriage Date: 25 Feb 1830 Marriage County: Cape Girardeau
She died 1849 in the same place. I have her parents as John
Higgins (unusual name!!), b. 1778 in TN who was married to
Elizabeth Black, b. 1786 in VA. He died 1840 in MO.
Any ideas or leads?

Biography: Norman Higgins, activist
Norman Higgins was born on January 26, 1963 in
Kansas City Missouri. His mother, Maxine, became a
single parent when her husband deserted her a month
after her son was born. Maxine was a waitress in a
prosperous restaurant so between wages and tips made
an adequate living for her son and herself. It was not
easy working and caring for a baby, but Maxine had
loving neighbors and friends who helped her with the
child while she worked and Norman thrived.
Maxine made sure her son regularly attended school,
and saw that he did his work and got at least average
grades. He was not an inspired student, but worked
hard to justify his mother�s faith in him and make her
proud. He liked to participate in athletics,
especially football and baseball, so kept his grades
up in high school so he�d be eligible to play on his
high school teams.
After graduation in 1981 he wanted to get out on his
own, so joined the Navy. He was stationed at North
Island, California but visited his high school
girlfriend, Gracie, whenever he got a leave long
enough to go home to Kansas City, and they planned to
be married when he got out of the service in 1985. But
in January l984, a month after he�d been home at
Christmas on leave, Gracie wrote a hysterical letter
that she was pregnant. Norman got an emergency leave
and flew home. They were married in a small ceremony,
which included friends and family. Norman was thrilled
that he was going to be a father and vowed he would
always be there for his child. Jason Higgins was born
September 15, l984.
When he was discharged from the service after his
four-year enlistment, Norman was offered a job working
for a friend of his mother�s who owned a Janitorial
Service. The work was mostly at night servicing office
buildings, so he and Gracie worked out a schedule
where she worked at her secretarial job with a
lawyer�s office during the day, and he worked for the
janitorial service at night. Norman was a
conscientious, hard-worker, and the owner of the
service promoted him rapidly to a supervisory position
where Norman learned more about the business
operation. Gracie continued working with the goal in
mind of saving enough money so Norman could start a
business of his own. After the birth of Jason, Maxine
willingly helped out with the baby-sitting. Maxine had
quit working and remarried some years before. She and
her husband loved being grandparents.
In 1986, Gracie was pregnant again. She and Norman had
discussed moving to a small town to raise their son,
and now with another baby on the way, they decided the
time was right. They had saved some money, and
Maxine�s husband wanted to invest in Norman�s new
business. Norman had stayed in touch with one of his
Navy buddies who lived in Oxford, and Norman had
visited him several times. He and Gracie decided
Oxford would be an ideal town in which to raise their
family. It�s small size and low crime rate convinced
them this was a good move. They moved to Oxford in
l987 after the birth of their second son, Justin.
Norman�s established the Higgins� Janitorial Service
Company in Oxford and the business thrived. But Norman
made sure he always had time to spend with his boys.
He was almost obsessive about giving them the time and
attention he�d never had from a father. The boys loved
the attention from their Dad, and the three of them
were very close.
Jason loved baseball and began playing Little League
when he was eight. Pete, the assistant coach, was a
young bachelor, who loved kids and volunteered his
time to coach. Since he lived a block away from the
Higgins family, he offered to pick up Jason, and take
him to and from the games and practices. This was such
a convenience to Gracie and Norman they accepted
without a second thought. After a few weeks Jason
began making excuses for not going to practice. He had
a stomachache or too much homework, or a headache. He
also started having terrible nightmares and even made
excuses to stay home from school. Gracie expressed her
concern to Norman and they decided to take him to his
pediatrician since they were sure there was something
physically wrong. The doctor examined Jason and gently
talked to him out of the presence of his parents.
Jason finally broke down and admitted the assistant
coach had fondled him in the car while driving to and
from practice.
Norman went to the police and filed a complaint
against Pete, the assistant coach. The police checked
the records and found that Pete was a registered sex
offender. Norman was livid. He raved and ranted and
cried: Why were they not notified that a registered
sex offender not only lived a block away but was
allowed to be a coach on a youth baseball team? The
police explained that there were no regulations to
allow them to release names of registered sex
offenders to the public, and evidently the youth
baseball league had no requirements to do background
checks on their volunteers. Norman vowed to get the
laws passed that would require the names of registered
sex offenders released to the public, and that he
would keep track of them in Oxford. Gracie was
traumatized by the whole situation, as was Jason.
After the trial, she said she couldn�t stand living in
Oxford anymore, so she packed up the boys and moved
back to Kansas City. Norman was devastated and missed
his family, but became even more intense about his
cause. Gracie eventually divorced him, and didn�t even
want the boys visiting him in Oxford, so he had few
chances to be with them. He phoned and went to see
them, but it just wasn�t the same. He vowed no other
family would have to endure what his family had, so
intensified his work monitoring registered sex
offenders, getting the national registry law passed
and strengthening any legislation regarding registered
sex offenders. He worked long and hard to influence
Congress in 1994 to pass the Jacob Wetterling law to
require states to register sex offenders and on
Megan�s law in 1996 that allows public access to the
state registries of sex offenders. He continued to
monitor released registered sex offenders who lived in
Oxford, and made sure the community knew the dangers
of sex offenders in their midst to the extent the law
would allow.
He occasionally worked with COP but felt they were
spread too thin by spending their energies on
insignificant projects and causes which weren�t as
important as monitoring registered sex offenders. He
felt Andrea Stover was a danger to the community
because of the pornographic ideas she espoused which
could stimulate sex offenders to commit further crimes
at the expense of innocent children.

J. T. HIGGINS,
was born in St. Louis County, March, 1851. His father, W. W. Higgins, is
a native of Maryland. The subject of this sketch grew up as the sons of most farmers do, working on the farm in summer and attending school in
the winter. He early evinced a taste for raising fine stock, and followed that until 1881, when he thought the western part of the state
afforded better advantages, he, with his wife, moved to Johnson County, and settled in Kingsville township, on section 14, where he has 168
acres of well improved land. He was married in 1877 to Miss Nanna H.
Blount, a native of Missouri, and daughter of James E. Blount, a native
of Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. H. are both members of the South Methodist Church.
