The KOM League
Flash Report
March 22, 2019
The link to this report is posted at: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/46720141664/
A matter of fact: If this report is accessed by as few people this week as the one for last week one thing is certain—there won’t be one next week. So, if you want to see them end don’t open this week’s URL. If you missed any of the two previous installments in the Harold John McKibben story I will share the links, upon demand.
(Notice: this report is subject to editing and change at any time.)
Death of the last member of a baseball playing family.
There were five young men from Odin, Kansas who donned the uniforms of professional baseball teams for a decade, starting in 1946. Three of the five saw action in the KOM league. Joe started out as a pitcher for Miami, Okla. in 1946 and was soon turned into a hard-hitting outfielder in the Dodger chain first with Ponca City, Okla. and then finally winding up with the Hutchinson, Kansas Elks, brother Eugene played for Iola, Kansas in 1948 and Bob played for Ponca City in 1949. Jerry and Lee were in the Pittsburgh Pirate chain and neither played in the KOM league. However, they attended more KOM league reunions than all the brothers, who did, combined.
On the morning of March 20, of this year, a telephone call was received from Dave Beran informing me that his father, Leon (Lee), had just passed away. He said there was a list of people the family wished to inform of that news and that included Yours truly. That meant a lot to me for I had gotten to know Joe, Jerry and Lee very well over the past couple of decades. Unfortunately, I never got to meet Eugene or Bob.
When writing books about the KOM league I always had great cooperation from the Berans and when the newsletters were of the subscription variety that family always supported that effort in every manner. On page 32 of the book “The KOM League Remembered” are two photos. One is of a grade school team that featured three of the Boyer clan from Alba, Missouri and the other photo depicts the five baseball playing Beran brothers along with brother Tony who didn’t play professional baseball and the father of boys. The Beran family photo is on the Flickr link to this report.
Dave Beran’s contact with me was made within hours of Lee’s death and no obituary had been posted. That was good for it provided time for me to formulate my memories of the recently departed. Lee and Jerry attended every KOM league and I once asked Lee why he did so. He replied that it was a way to honor his three deceased brother’s memory. (At the time this report was prepared only a notice of Lee’s death was posted in the Emporia, Kansas Gazette. It noted that an obituary would appear later.)
At each reunion attendees were called upon to share a special talent. Lee’s gift to the reunion crowd was carrying on the tradition of Norwegian Ole and Lena jokes. As Dave told of his father’s last days I asked how long he keep telling those jokes and he replied “Until about three weeks ago.” One of Lee’s last wishes was to make a trip to Herman, Missouri which is known for its fine wines. So, the Beran’s made a trip, by train, to Herman to fulfill Lee’s final bucket wish.
There is irony in many things if you think about them long enough. On page 32 of the KOM league book, the Berans and Boyers were featured as having the most members of any families to play in the league. When Kenny Boyer developed his lung cancer he moved to Herman, Mo. where he died some 100 pounds lighter than his playing weight. Shortly, before his death Lee Beran had one final trip wish and it was to visit Herman.
In memory of Lee I scanned the internet for Ole and Lena jokes but I must say that no one on You Tube could even come close to the timing and accent Lee gave in his rendition of those “rib ticklers.”
Care is being taken, in writing this preliminary tribute regarding Lee, for I don’t wish to replicate what the official obituary will include. One of the things that stands out in my memory is a photo that was carried in the Sporting News in the early 1950’s.. In that photo was Lee, along with Brandy Davis, Ronnie Kline, Bobby del Greco and a couple of other guys posing with Branch Rickey who by then was the head honcho of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The fellows in the photo were the ones Rickey was counting on to get the Pirates out of the lower rung of the National league standings. Things don’t always pan out.
During his early days in the Pirate organization Lee faced slugger, Ralph Kiner, in an exhibition game. In trying to impress the Pirate hierarchy Lee was bearing (no pun intended) down. In facing the home run king, Lee knocked him down twice with inside pitches and what Kiner called him was anything but “buddy.”
Lee, after a good start at Brunswick, Georgia developed arm problems and didn’t fare that well in 1952 at Hutchinson. Then, Uncle Sam came along and requested that he serve some time at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. While there, in 1953, he along with a number of professionals played for the Ft. Smith Smokers. That team won the Arkansas State Amateur title in 1954 and earned the right to play in the National Baseball Congress Tournament in Wichita, Kansas. As it turned out the Smokers had two members who had played for the 1951 Carthage Cubs; Johnny Mudd and Tom Kordas. Mudd like Lee Beran was a pitcher. When Beran found out that I knew Mudd and how to make contact with him he made a request. The request was that he return a certain piece of wearing apparel Mudd extracted from him at Camp Chaffee. Every year that Beran came to a reunion he’d bring up the subject of Mudd and if he had ever mentioned taking that item. Each year the answer was the same…no.
There is more than a slight chance that Mudd could read this article. If so, “John, Lee never forgot that jacket.” Take good care of it.

Lee Beran---Obituary added 3/24/2019. www.robertsblue.com/obituary/leon-lee-beran
Leon (Lee) Thomas Beran, 87, died on March 20, 2019 at his home surrounded by family. Lee was a devout Catholic, family man and recreation advocate serving Emporia and the community for the majority of his life.
Lee was born June 30, 1931 in Larned, Kansas, the son of Anton and Adelaide “Hattie” (Prosser) Beran. He grew up in Odin, Kansas with five brothers and two sisters.
In 1951, Lee signed a professional baseball contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates as a pitcher. Branch Rickey once wrote about Lee in his scouting report on October 4, 1951 as “a really good boy, I mean really good. If all 18-year-old boys were like this chap, most certainly God would be smiling down on us as a nation.” Lee started his professional baseball career in Georgia for the Brunswick Pirates, where he recorded 9 wins and 5 losses during his rookie season. He was moved up to Class C with Hutchinson Elks in Kansas. Lee was drafted into the Army in 1953 during the Korean War, stationed in Camp Chaffee and continued playing baseball as part of military leagues in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Lee claimed to have only held a gun for the picture. Lee was honorably discharged in 1955 and continued to serve in the Army Reserves until 1961.
After a short stint in the military, he returned to baseball in 1955 playing for various minor league organizations. In 1955, his professional pitching career was cut short due to an arm injury and he relocated to Emporia to receive therapy. While here, he also enrolled in school at Kansas State Teachers College, where he was a three-year letterman in football, and went on to receive his Bachelor of Science in Physical Education degree in 1959. He also served as a graduate assistant football coach. Lee relocated to Dodge City, Kansas in 1960 to teach and coach football at Saint Mary of the Plains College. After serving less than one season as head coach, Lee returned to Emporia accepting a position with the Emporia Recreation Commission, as well as a graduate assistant football coach in 1961. He was promoted to Director of Emporia Recreation Commission in 1961. In 1965, he served on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness at the invitation of Stan Musial under President Lyndon B. Johnson. Lee also served in both a state and national representative capacity within the Kansas Recreation and Parks Association, in which he held numerous board positions.
He received the Distinguished Fellow award from the Kansas Recreation and Parks Association in 1977 and in the same year was instrumental in the construction of the present recreation building.
In 1999, Lee retired as Director of the Emporia Recreation Commission and was very proud of his friends and colleagues he had the opportunity to meet and work with over his career. In the same year, Lee was inducted to Kansas Parks and Recreation Hall of Fame. He was commended for his service to the Emporia community by having the Recreation Commission building named in his honor. In 2003, Lee was inducted into the Emporia State University (HPER) Health, Physical Education and Recreation Hall of Honor.
In his retirement, Lee continued to manage annual KSHAA state tournaments and acted as tournament manager through 2018. He enjoyed bowling, golf, and attending music and sporting events with his friends and family. Lee was an amateur comic with an endless catalog of jokes to entertain his friends and colleagues. He despised slow golfers, airport security checks (due to having two bionic hips) and watching Judge Judy despite his wife’s interest in the daily program.
Lee married Judith Cross on June 13, 1959 in Kansas City, Kansas. She survives of the home. Other survivors include: daughters, Julie Lahr of Derby, Kansas, Andrea Bachura and her husband Jon of Overland Park, Kansas; sons, Michael Beran and his wife Suzan (Putzier) from Shawnee, KS, David Beran and his wife Caryn (Hanna) from Overland Park, Kansas; brother, Tony Beran of Aurora, CO; sister, Alice Dolechek of Odin, KS; Grandchildren, Michael Uran, Andrew Beran, Christian Beran, Kiley Beran, Jameson Beran, Alaina Bachura, Jacob Beran, Mary Grace Beran, and Solomon Beran; as well as one great-grandchild Christian Uran.
Lee was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Gene Beran, Joe Beran, Bob Beran, Jerry Beran; and a sister, Viola Dice.
Cremation is planned with a Rosary to be held at 7:30 p.m., Friday, April 5, 2019 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Emporia. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, April 6, 2019 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. A private inurnment will be held at a later date at Holy Family Cemetery, Odin, Kansas. In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to the Emporia Recreation Commission or Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Contributions may be sent in care of Roberts-Blue-Barnett Funeral Home. The family would like to thank the Hand in Hand Hospice Care staff who took great care of him during his final days.
Finally, the family asks that in honor of Lee, everyone remember his eternal inspiring words...”just suck it up.”

A faithful reader fulfills his promise
This article was taken from a March 20, 2019 e-mail from Lt. Col. Frank Hungerford Ret.
•
John, about a year ago I informed you that Al Billingsly had passed in late 2017 but I had very little information concerning his passing, and that I would do some research and try to find out more information.
After researching Venice, Florida (where Al lived) and Sarasota newspapers for an obituary and funeral services to no avail, I had about given up looking. I wrote a letter to his daughter who informed me that he had passed away.
I had talked to one of Al's sons and to his daughter by telephone last year but obviously didn't ask the right questions as I was trying to be considerate, and tried to contact Al's first wife, Betty, (and mother of his three children) who lived in the Orlando area without success.
Earlier this month, Betty Billingsly's obituary appeared in the Orlando Sentinel newspaper with her Memorial Services announcement. I attended the services and was able to talk to the three children before and after the services. I had not seen any of the children since about 1960 so they didn't remember me but were very appreciative of me coming to the services and of the letter I had sent last year asking about their Dad and Mother, and of the numerous photos I had sent them. Also, daughter, Marina, had stated she had instructed her Mother not to answer any telephone calls if she didn't recognize the number calling, plus Marina later had placed her Mother in a Nursing Home and had told me that she would probably would not know me if I came to see her.
It turns out I had been looking in the wrong place (Venice and Sarasota) for any information about Al and LaRue. First, there were no obituaries published for either Larue or Al, and secondly, they are buried right here in the Orlando area. (Winter Garden, a suburb of Orlando). It was explained to me that Larue had passed away in a Venice/Sarasota nursing
home which Al had withheld information about her condition from the children until the very end, and since he was in very poor physical condition, they brought Larue here for burial and placed Al in a Nursing home in the Orlando area. His oldest son, Rusty, said Al's had prostate cancer, had diminishing mental issues, and finally his heart failed.
The children decided to bury them here close to the daughter's home as Rusty lives in Savannah, and son, Ted, lives in St. Louis. Only grave side services were conducted for Larue and Al.
Al and Betty were married in Springfield in about 1950 and Al dropped out of professional baseball after their marriage. We, my wife and I were very close to Al and Betty in Springfield but after I joined the Army in 1952 we drifted apart except I did see them in St Louis in 1960, and completely lost contact with Al until 1986 when the Springfield high school Class of 1946 which included Al and my sister, Ramona, had a reunion. Al was a year ahead of some of us (Ray Haley, Paul Nichols, myself). I was looking through Ramona's reunion booklet and saw Al's address so we got together again.
I never asked Al the reason for their divorce and he never offered to tell me but I did detect there was some heart break and feelings among his children concerning his leaving their mother and his marriage to Larue. I felt their children's angst but regretted we didn't know of Al's last days and we were not there to pay our respects at his passing.
I have attached a photo from Betty's Memorial Services and a photo of Al and Larue's headstone.
(Ed note: Not shown in this report.) I still enjoy your KOM letters. Best regards, Frank Hungerford
Ed comment:
The names in this report primarily; Ray Haley, Paul Nichols and Hungerford were all former KOM leaguers from Springfield, MO and all offered Yankee contracts by Tom Greenwade. Hungerford was offered a conditional one if he would go to the Amateur Baseball League of America which was comprised of a group of towns in North Central Kansas. The towns that comprised that league had become dissatisfied with the Ban Johnson organization and formed their own group.
When Greenwade insisted Hungerford was not ready for professional baseball he signed with the St. Louis Browns and they sent him to Pittsburg, Kansas for the 1947 season. Another Springfield boy was involved in this group. His name was Alvin Newton Long and he married Hungerford’s sister Ramona and he was also signed by Greenwade and was a late season edition to the 1949 Independence Yankees that featured some reasonably fine talent, four of whom went to the big leagues and one of them, Mickey Mantle, to the Hall of Fame.
Al Billingsly played for the 1948 Independence Yankees of the KOM league and then returned to the area in 1950 to play second base for the Joplin Miners. What he contributed to that club aside from baseball talent, was an automobile. It was a source of many a tale from the start of spring training, at Branson, Mo. in April to the day the Joplin Miners clinched the Western Association pennant in September.
During a night of celebration, following the pennant winning game, some of the fellows were feeling no pain and convinced Billingsly they should get in his car and head for California. It was not a well-planned venture and when the future Hall of Famer on that club decided they weren’t going fast enough he demanded to take over the driving chores. After a few near collisions, on old Route 66, still inside the city of Joplin, Mickey Mantle was relieved of his driving chores.
Shortly, after Billingsly got back behind the wheel, as one of the few sober guys in the car, it ran out of fuel. Mantle had a great idea. He would fill the tank by emptying, shall we say, the stuff he had consumed a short time before. Now, the car wasn’t going anywhere. It had to be towed to a garage where extensive work on the carburetor was done the next day. Nobody helped Billingsly with the price of repairs. He told me that the pennant winning night wasn’t any fun in any respect and it wound up costing him money.
Yep, these are the kind of stories that you would never find in a sports column but talking with old ballplayers you learn that not all their memories are of the game but rather what happened outside of it.
Albert A. Billingsly
Born: January 31, 1929—Springfield, Missouri
Died: November 30, 2017—Orlando, Florida
Once I inquired of Billingsly as to the correct spelling of his last name. I had seen it end in “ly” and “ley.” The answer was a bit surprising. There were two families on Route 9 out of Springfield, Missouri who spelled their names with the “ley.” The mail carrier was always getting the mail interchanged. He suggested one family use the “ley” spelling and the other “ly.” And that is how Albert A. Billingsley wound up being Albert A. Billingsly. The latter spelling is found on his tombstone. Which by the way a photo of it is available upon request.

Filling in some blank spots
Seldom are there any updates to the profiles of deceased former KOM leaguers. Over the years I have been fairly successful in determining where a guy was born and when. The same goes for those who have passed away.
•
For nearly a quarter century I have shown Andrew Joseph Murren Jr. as being born in Nutley, New Jersey in 1931 and dying sometime in the early 1960’s. I also had a record of his military enlistment date of April 3, 1945 at Newark. Well, some of that checked out to be correct and some was five years off- base in some data I found on him this past week. He either fibbed about his age with a St. Louis Browns scout or the Pittsburg, Kansas Morning Sun sports editor.
Murren, a 22-year-old right-handed pitcher, was born July 23, 1926 in Nutley, New Jersey and passed away on June 28, 1958 in Essex New Jersey. I know very little more about him other than his wife’s name was Arline and she was mentioned in many Passaic, New Jersey society columns. Andrew’s name appeared in some wedding announcements as being the best man. City directories in New Jersey carried his name in editions from 1950 through 1958 and that is when they ceased. The last city mentioned where he worked was Belleview, New Jersey.
•
Daniel Longaker was a member of the 1947 Pittsburg, Kans. Browns. He was born August 16, 1927 in Detroit, Michigan and passed away February 27, 1995 in Warren, Michigan. Until March 18, 2019 I was unaware of his middle name which was Lawrence.
•
Russell H. Bland Jr. of the 1951 Pittsburg, Kans. Browns was born October 2, 1931 in St. Louis, Mo. and passed away September 10, 1998 in Glen Carbon, Illinois. Until March 18, 2019 I had never discovered his and his father’s middle name. For the record books it was Hubbard.
•
John A. “Jack” Nesbit is how I knew the former Pittsburg Browns catcher. He was born Sept 19, 1928 in Detroit, Mich. and died September 9, 1996 in Belleville, Ill. He had attended his first and only KOM league reunion earlier that year. He was an accountant after his baseball career concluded. Until March 18, 2019 I didn’t know that his middle name was Adolph.
•
Some things just have to be chalked up to oversight. Rex Simpson played for the Chanute Athletics in 1947 and the Pittsburg Browns in 1948. His major contribution to the KOM league, from my perspective was being the first person to ever suggest I write about that league and he donated the first cent to make that happen. He sent $20 after receiving the first KOM league newsletter in 1994 which caused another one to be written the next month and that continued for 16 years. It was later replaced by these Flash Reports which come in a distant second place to the printed, addressed, stamped, stapled version and delivered by the friendly postmen around this country. Although I knew his middle name I did not realize until March 18, 2019 that I failed to show it in some of my files. A posthumous apology goes to Rex Leon Simpson. Or “Big Red” for those who knew him best. For those who recall the name of Loren Packard, a KOM league batting champion and later with the Topeka Owls, he and Simpson were first cousins from Helena, Okla. Later both played for the powerhouse amateur team, the Wichita Boeing Bombers.
•
Lawrence J. Bale was born on the 4th of July of 1928 in Goodman, Mo. He made it to the Pittsburg, Kansas Browns in 1949. During a search of middle names for those on my database his middle name of James was finally inserted there March 19, 2019. Bale now resides in metro Kansas City.
•
Melvin J. Smith was a member of the 1948 Pittsburg, Kansas Browns who was born in Springfield, MO in 1927 and died there in 2004. Until March 19, 2019 I didn’t have his middle name of James listed on my database. Melvin had a twin brother by the name of Elwyn.
•
Robert P. Carle of the 1949 Pittsburg Browns finally got his middle name, Paul, posted on my database 70 years after he broke into baseball. He was born in 1930 at Tiro, Ohio. and died in Lake Worth, Florida in 2001. For many years he was the IRS Director in Detroit, Mich.
•
Ralph Fall was born in September of 1931 at Sedalia, Mo and was playing with the Pittsburg Browns in 1949. He died in Kansas City in March of 2000 and got his middle name of Edward placed on the KOM league database on March 19, 2019.
•
Arthur Robert Marsden. B. 5/20/1924—D. 6/19/2016
In a recent search for Robert Marsden’s middle name I found that it was what I had always thought his first name to be. His first name was Arthur but he never went by that in the KOM league with either Pittsburg in 1947 or with Pittsburg, or Iola, Kansas the teams for whom he played in 1948. For historical records he was basically a third baseman.
This is his belated obituary: www.findagrave.com/memorial/165418835 Open this site to see a photo of the deceased. He made it into a Pittsburg team photo in 1947. If you have the second edition of “Majoring in the Minors” his photo is on page 342. Even if you don’t have that book, it is still there.
Arthur Robert Marsden, 92 of Philadelphia, PA, died Sunday June 19, 2016 in the Lima Estates, Media, PA. He was known by Bob and Art to his friends.
Born in Philadelphia, PA, he was the son of the late Arthur E. and the late Edna (Milner) Marsden.
Bob was a veteran of the US Army who fought at the Battle of the Bulge. He received the Bronze Star and was a recipient of the Purple Heart.
Bob played semipro baseball with the St. Louis Browns. He played soccer and basketball at Temple University where he received both his Bachelors and Masters degrees. (Ed note: The St. Louis Browns ball club at Pittsburg, Kansas was professional baseball of the Class D level, just as was Iola.)
He was an avid golfer and had a hole in one at the age of 83.
Bob was an Executive Director with the Boys and Girls Club of Philadelphia for 38 years.
He was active with the Tioga-Nicetown Community and received awards for his many contributions.
Predeceased by his loving wife of 44 years, Rita (nee Aldworth) Marsden.
Survived by his children, Scott (Melody) Marsden Tracy (Jim) Oestreich, Dean (Theresa) Marsden, Grandchildren, Brittany Marsden, Matthew (Chrissy) Marsden, Kim Marsden, Sarah (Maurice) Darden, Joshua (Kristen) Oestreich , Abigail Oestreich, and Robert Marsden; Great Grandchildren, William Sgrignioli, Matthew Marsden, Caleb Oestreich, Dear Friend, Teresa Kelly.
Funeral service will be held Thursday at 11:00 am at Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia, 13500 Philmont Ave, Philadelphia 19116. Friends may call Thursday from 10-11:00 AM at Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia. Burial: Calvary Cemetery, Conshohocken.
Comment:
Through yet another medical visit yesterday my photos of birds was mentioned. The nurse practitioner and I discussed birds. I sent her a link to a barred owl and she not only looked at that but found a reference to “Majoring in the Minors.” She was looking it up to see if she could find it on line.
What she found was a copy on Amazon and inquired if that was the one I wrote. She was interested in purchasing a copy, to be signed, until she found the asking price. Anyone ready for this? The asking price is $1,496.00. That is a pretty good history book but not at that price.

The saga of Harold John McKibben continues
We left off last time in our story with the news Harold John McKibben learned that he had family in Missouri and Oklahoma and he was making plans to “head east.”
On September 24, 1927 the Joplin Globe carried a story with the headline “Youth, Missing Seventeen Years, To Come Here to Join Relatives.”
John Harold McKibbben, 21 years old, who learned last week that he was an American citizen and not a Mexican boy, as he had been led to believe during seventeen years’ abode with a Mexican family as their adopted son will join two uncles in Joplin as soon as funds sent to him are received the Los Angeles, Calif., Examiner said last night in a telephone message to The Globe.
The youth went to Los Angeles in search of his father, not knowing he died fourteen years ago in Sacramento, Calif., just a day or two before his uncles and other relatives discovered through photographs of the boys, published in The Globe. A telegram sent to the Los Angeles newspaper notified the boy of the circumstances and advised him that two uncles living near Miami, Okla., Harve McKibben and John McKibben, would receive him here.
Speaks Broken English.
As he speaks broken English, Harold McKibben could not converse freely over the telephone from the Examiner office last night and his business was transacted by C. G. Bowen, a member of the Examiner staff.
Bowen said McKibben was without funds when he arrived in California, but that the youth had been given employment on the Examiner staff temporarily, in order that he might have sufficient funds to sustain him while he awaited word from relatives.
The youth wants to join his uncles and will come to Joplin to meet them here as soon as funds arrive. His uncles sent him sufficient funds by telegraph last night and he expects to leave as soon as possible for Joplin
McKibben attempted to converse over the telephone last night, apparently delighted in talking with someone who could assure him that his uncles had been found, but after muttering in broken English, “Hello, who is this?” he gave up the attempt and surrendered the telephone to Bowen.
The youth has another uncle, Jake McKibben, living at Claremore, Okla.; two aunts, Mrs. Mattie Smith at Miami and Mrs. J. W. Mitchell at Borger Tex., and a grandmother, Mrs. Lucy Ball, his father’s mother, who lives at Anderson, Mo.
The finding of the youth’s relatives came as a result of his learning in El Paso, Tex., that his father once lived in Joplin. The Globe published an account of the boy’s case and also photographs of him as he was at the age of 4, and as he is today, at 21. Harve McKibben was the first of the family to identify himself and make himself known to the Globe. An El Paso newspaper championing the youth’s cause was communicated with immediately, but the youth had gone to California and could not be stopped en route.
Harold’s father, Norman McKibben, lived in Joplin until 1910, when Harold was then 4 years old. The father’s first wife died when Harold was in infancy and in 1910 Norman McKibben re-married and went to Texas, taking Harold with them. There the baby was left “for a little while,” but the father and stepmother did not return. News drifted back that they had gone to California.
None of the brothers of Norman McKibben heard anything more from him until three years later, when they were notified, by telegram that he had died. No one knew, apparently, what had become of the baby. For the last seven years, one aunt, Mrs. Mitchell, has traveled extensively over the country in search of her nephew, without avail.
Fought With Villa
The youth’s life is filled with adventure. Known as Juan Chavez, son of Manuel Chavez, a Mexican rancher, he enlisted in the Mexican army and fought with the notorious Pancho Villa, revolutionist. He was educated in the Mexican schools and acted as correspondent for Mexican journals.
Harold learned his true identity last week, when his parents, despairing of their intention of having him remain a Mexican all his life, told him of adopting him under an order of the federal court after he had been abandoned by his parents. Overjoyed, the youth went to El Paso and there began his search for his family.
With the foregoing article appearing in the Joplin Globe the citizens of the Tri-State area now were up to speed on the Harold John McKibben as the residents of El Paso had been, days earlier. Depending upon the newspaper column cited. he was called both Harold John and John Harold
News of young McKibben was becoming “old hat” by the time the Joplin Globe carried its story that he was headed to Joplin. He had given up front page status to Charles Lindbergh who was visiting El Paso after his non-stop flight across the Atlantic. McKibben’s story in the El Paso Times was relegated to a small column, on page 6 that reported on the telephone conversation with his uncles where neither party understood the other. And that was only the beginning of the “lack of communication.”
For the next few months McKibben received some attention but the story died quickly. Upon arriving in Joplin he announced that he wanted to get a job for a year or so and then go to college. He expressed some interest in becoming a lawyer. His uncles and aunts said they would provide the funds for him to go to college, immediately. However, he wanted to get acclimated to his new found home. So, he lived around Picher and Commerce, Oklahoma for the next couple of years.
In October of 1928 he was receiving some coverage in newspapers across this country by declaring he would “ rather be a poor American than a rich foreigner”. However, the newspapers started picking up stories that the young man may have been an heir to another fortune, this one being oil. The newspaper reporters inquired into this matter with the boy’s aunts, uncles and grandmother and none of them had any knowledge of any other holdings the family had that would make him rich. However, there was great suspicion that Harold’s father owned part of another valuable mine. This story was found in the February 28, 1930 edition of the El Paso Evening Post. Page 13.
The headline read “Mystery Boy May Receive New Fortune.”—Sub headlines included: “Harold McKibben Has Rights in Mines Say Seekers—Youth Quits School.—Disappears After Attending Oklahoma Institution for Three Months.
________
A new fortune may yet be found for Harold John McKibben, 23, the youth who abandoned riches in Mexico and said: “I would rather be a poor American than a rich foreigner.”
The possibility of the new fortune, this one on American-made wealth, developed at the outgrowth of investigations made here by J. W. Mitchell and Mrs. Mitchell of Commerce, Okla. Mrs. Mitchell is the aunt of Harold McKibben and the sister of Harold’s late father, Norman McKibben (This article rehashes what had been reported about Harold being abandoned by his family in El Paso and then learning of his roots in Southwest Missouri and Northeast Oklahoma.)
The story now goes back to the El Paso Evening Post article of February 28, 1930. McKibben went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell in Commerce, Okla., for a year’s residence. Mitchell, an erecting engineer, then sent the lad to a school in Oklahoma City for three months. He disappeared again, Mitchell said, and all efforts to locate him in that section failed.
Mitchell and his wife came here (El Paso) for a new inquiry. They announced hitherto unpublished facts which put a different light on the abandonment of the child.
Doubt Abandonment
“I do not believe that my brother, Harold’s father, ever abandoned his child,” Mrs. Mitchell said.
“As he lay dying in Sacramento, Calif, in 1921, he told the priest that his son Harold had been dead for years; that the lad’s mother died in Missouri.
“Another strange thing about it is the fact that shortly after the abandonment of the child by the stepmother we got a wire from my brother in an El Paso hospital. Yet neither parent came back to the Chipps after the stepmother abandoned the child”
And the father died thinking his child was dead. The wire from the hospital asked for money. Yet we knew that only a short time before the father, the stepmother and the child left Missouri with $30,000 that the father made in mining.
Seek Mining Paper
“The father also had a partnership agreement, giving him one-fourth interest in another mine in Missouri, valuable property to this day. We have never been able to find that partnership paper. We are trying to find it.”
The trail of this paper, a document that was folded up with a lot of old yellow sheets, and has now been missing for two decades, has occupied the Mitchells for five days in El Paso.
They interviewed H. N. (Big Kid) Shipley, Victor Benedetti, court officials and police and many others. But so far the paper has not been found. They sought news of the present whereabouts of Harold McKibben but in vain.
Benedetti thinks McKibben is seeking movie fame in Los Angeles. He says the lad came through El Paso again a few months ago, borrowed five dollars for meals on a train from here to El Paso and went on. He told of the boy’s fondness for theatricals and movies, a fancy that fits in with Mrs. Mitchell’s report of how the lad used to sit under a tree at her home (Commerce, Okla.) and croon Spanish songs. He seemed lonely in his native land, after so many years in Mexico.
The search for the mine paper is continuing.
__________
From the time the Mitchell family left Commerce, Okla. for El Paso, Texas nothing was heard from the illusive Harold John McKibben. On April Fool’s day in 1931 the United Press started the saga again with this headline. El Paso, Texas (UP) “Believe M’Kibben is Hunting Family.”
Harold John McKibben, who turned his back on Mexican riches in 1927 to search unsuccessfully for his American parents, was believed to have returned to this county in an attempt to learn about his family.
His clothes in tatters, his hair hanging to his shoulder, a twenty-four-year-old giving his name as McKibben staggered across the international boundary near Lizard Switch last night and asked that he be extended the privileges of an American citizen.
Immigration officers, to whom he told his story, expressed the opinion it was “weird” and released him. Whether he now is on the American or Mexican side, they did not know and a search was started for him.
The youth told officers that an insatiable desire to know about himself and his family led him to return to the border and he made a long trek thru Mexico. He had returned to Mexico after he was unsuccessful in trying to find his family in 1927. (At this point in the April 1931 article goes through the entire scenario of him being abandoned, being reunited with family in Joplin and Miami and the whole nine yards. This newspaper account stated that when offered a chance to return to the Joplin area he dropped out of sight and was never seen publicly, again. Of course that belies the fact he lived in Commerce with the Mitchell’s and even spent three months in an Oklahoma City educational facility.)
Well, by now it is evident that Harold John McKibben was a very disturbed young man, a pathological liar or a con-man par excellence.
The Miami News Record carried another article about the McKibben saga on March 29th of 1931 with the headline” “Miami Relatives Skeptical of El Paso News Story Relating to Return of American Youth Reared by Mexican Family”
What may be a dramatic sequel to one of the strangest stories ever printed in the News-Record about anyone with a local connection came to light Saturday (March 28, 1931) when Associated Press dispatches told of John Harold McKibben, 24-year-old white man staggering across the international boundary near El Paso, Tex., and being picked up by border patrolmen.
Dispatches described McKibben as “bearded, ragged, starved and heart-sick,” and quoted him as saying he was coming to Miami to visit relatives.
While some parts of the story Saturday agree with the story of the John Harold McKibben who visited his uncle, Harve McKibben, here in 1927, other parts of it are incompatible, the Miamian pointed out Saturday when notified of the incident in El Paso.
Relatives Skeptical
The John McKibben who is Harve McKibbens nephew, has many connections in El Paso and Miami who would finance him if he needed it, making that part of the story hard to believe by his Miami relatives. However, the kinsmen expect to know the truth within a few days as the wanderer told authorities he was headed for this place.
The nephew of Harve McKibben of Miami and Jake McKibben of Claremore, visited here in September, 1927, and told his strange story—as he had gleaned it, bit by bit, from relatives and friends of his parents and public records. (This article once again rehashes to story of how McKibben wound up in Mexico as a four year old, for a number of paragraphs) This article then resumed with speculation not previously found in print. It stated “What happened in Mexico is not known, but it is believed that Norman McKibben lost his money in a mining venture, was too proud to return home or ask for help. He is believed to have left his son in care of the Mexican Gomez, until he could go to Los Angeles, recoup his fortunes and reclaim the child.”
Father Died in 1913
However, reports show that Norman died in Los Angeles shortly after going there in 1913. The mother died when John Harold was an infant. She was a white woman and not a part-Cherokee as stated in the Saturday news dispatches. Harve McKibben also said he knew of no oil heritage which John Harold might lay claim as to the news dispatches suggested.
The last article from the Miami News-Record to be found on this story concluded with “Now, whether misfortune has overtaken the Gomez wealth in Mexico, whether the talented and brilliant McKibben has met with foul play, or whether the man who staggered across the border as an imposter remains to be seen when, and if, he shows up.”
McKibben Shows up in Surprising Place
Where would a fellow go that was eluding authorities? Well, the El Paso Herald followed all leads and the next one led to the most improbable place I would ever have imagined. It had taken from March 28 to July 11, edition of that paper carried this article. ---M’KIBBEN DISCOVERED WANDERING AS A HERMIT. Found With Long Flowing Beard in Missouri Woods..
Another chapter in the strange life of Harold John McKibben was unfolded Saturday when officers found that the “hermit” with a long flowing beard, was arrested in the woods near Carthage, Mo, is the person who was left in El Paso as a baby. (The news article again recounts how the boy was left in El Paso in 1910 and reunited seventeen years later with family members in Joplin) The article concluded thusly. “A few months ago U. S. immigration men found him wandering in the desert near El Paso. His mind seemed blank. He disappeared again and was found with a long flowing beard, fingernails an inch long and dressed in knickers in the Missouri woods. He told officer he had been wandering for 15 years after being lost in Oklahoma.
Conclusion:
And that, my friends is the last thing ever revealed about Harold John McKibben Some 20 years later on September 13, 1947, the El Paso Times looked back on significance stories for that date in history and made mention of it but never was anything else ever found on the “Little Boy Abandoned.” I have searched death indexes, historical newspapers and genealogy sites, all to no avail. So, I will probably never know what became of the fellow as he was last seen wandering in the woods outside my hometown—Carthage, Mo.
Although the story of Harold John McKibben has no satisfactory conclusion it opened some insights into the life of my grandfather, Geddes Wadsworth Hall and his son and my uncle Harry Luther Hall.
For years I knew they were both living at Baxter Springs, Kansas when they died. Harry died at age 19 in a mining accident and Grandpa Hall died there in 1931 with a mine related lung disease at age 51. Until researching the coming’s and goings of Harold John McKibben I never knew the name of the mine where my grandpa and uncle worked. They were both employed at the Goodwin Mine which was located at the north end of Picher, Okla. which bordered the twin Kansas mining town of Treece. So, they had a five mile trip to work each day from Baxter Springs to Picher.
As a young man I always heard my mother and dad talk about Picher and Baxter. The year Geddes died his son Cecil was working in Carthage at the Juvenile Shoe Factory where he met my mother. They were married at Baxter and in order to get there took the street car from Carthage.
Thus, during the 1927 to 1931 era I later knew the names of few people who worked the Picher lead and zinc fields. One name I didn’t know became familiar as I grew up watching Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers.
Located at Carterville, Missouri is a cemetery filled with names of family members including Hall, Nealy and Taylor. Also in that plot for the deceased are many people by the name of Spencer. The Spencer’s were from Webb City. Ephriam Spencer had a son by the name of Vernon who loved music and played the ukulele. Ephriam was a miner who with his family moved to Mills, New Mexico around 1913 to homestead.
In 1927 the Eagle Picher Mining Company convinced Ephriam to move to Picher and become the supervisor of one of their mining operations. He brought along his 19-year-old ukulele playing son, Vernon. Vernon wanted to play his music and his dad insisted he work the mines and make a living.
While working in the mines an ore bucket fell on Vernon and he suffered broken vertebrae which ended his days in the mines and he then got to spend more time on his music. Shortly after moving to Picher, Vernon met a young girl by the name of Mabel and wouldn’t you have guessed it, she was a McKibben.
Whether Vernon ever met Harold John McKibben is unknowable but they had a few things in common. They were born two years and five miles apart. Vernon in Webb City, 1908 and Harold in Joplin. 1906. Both left the area when they were young. Vernon winding up in New Mexico and Harold, who you know by now, was a resident of Mexico. They returned to the Picher area at the same time. Thus Vernon would have read about the exploits of Harold in either the Miami or Joplin newspapers.
Another thing Vernon and Harold had in common was their desire to be entertainers. Each went about it in different ways but California was always the destination of choice. While there isn’t much documentation on McKibben there is a ton of it on Vernon Spencer who changed his first name to Tim and became one of the founders of the Sons of the Pioneers along with Bob Nolan and Leonard Slye who changed his name, to Roy Rogers. For a few hours of reading you can access this link and learn more than you probably ever wanted to know about the aforementioned subject. search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrUi6bkE5VcaykA03IPxQt....
Due to the honor of having the nephew of Mabel McKibben Spencer as a reader of these reports I learned of how that part of the McKibben family moved to California and lived happily ever after—or happier than they would have been staying in the lead and zine mining area of Northeast Oklahoma.

American Civil War Soldiers database: Julius Penn enlisted as a Captain on 23 April 1861 at the age of 43. Joined Company E, 22nd Infantry Regiment Ohio on 27 Apr 1861. Promoted to Full Major on May 23rd, 1861. Mustered Out Company E, 22nd Infantry Regiment Ohio on Aug 19th, 1861 at Athens, OH.
Partial Transcription of Memoriam, RGK1958:
In Memory of General Julius Augustus Penn, United States Army
Extract from Sixty-sixth Annual Report of the Association of Graduates of the United States Military Academy, West Point, NY, June 11th, 1935.
JULIUS AUGUSTUS PENN
NO. 3165 CLASS OF 1886
[Classmate of General John J Pershing]
Died May 13th, 1934, at Batavia, Ohio, aged 69 years.
Brigadier General Julius A. Penn was born February 19th, [about 1865], in Matoon, Coles County, Illinois, the son of Major Julius A. Penn and Mary Brock Penn. Answering a frequent question I shall state here that he is not a lineal descendant of William Penn the Founder, as there are no Penns living who are lineal descendants. The General's Mother was of Scotch descent. A very strong religious nature and her unusual unselfishness were predominant characteristics.
Major Penn [the father of BGen Penn] spent the greater part of his life in the practice of law in Batavia, Ohio. At the call of the President of the United States, April 17th, 1861, for volunteers for the suppression of treason, he organized the first company to leave Batavia for the Civil War and left with the company as its Captain. He was later promoted to major.
Major Penn cast his vote for the first Prohibition candidate for President and was a most ardent advocate of the cause. His advice to his son on this subject held good through the years.
General U.S. Grant had known Major Penn when they were boys in Clermont and Brown Counties. On the General's return to Batavia to visit relatives after the Civil War he addressed Major Penn as Julius and took his son, embryo brigadier-general, on his knee, an incident never forgotten by the boy. The original muster roll of the above mentioned company and the Major's epaulets and sash are still in existence in Batavia.
Julius A. Penn, Jr. was dubbed Pennie by a small girl who could not say Julius and he was called by this affectionate nickname for many years. Pennie spent his boyhood days in and around Batavia and was an honored member of the first class to graduate from the Batavia Hishg School. He took a completive examination with thirty boys of the 6th District of Ohio at Hamilton, Ohio, in 1881. Hon. H.L. Morey took this method of deciding who should be sent to West Point. Penn stood number one but lacked a year of being old enough. The number two young man was sent and failed in the January examination. He returned to his Ohio district and Julius Penn helped him secure enough signatures to a petition for reinstatement. Since his principal failed the second time, Penn was now old enough. Through the recommendation of Judge James B. Swing, he received the appointment of Hon. H. L. Morey and entered the Academy June, 1882. Major Penn died June 6th, 1882 with the knowledge that his son had reached West Point safely and with the satisfaction that his son should receive an education in a school which he himself had always wanted to attend. A condensed résumé of the services of General Penn follows. Upon his graduation from the United States Military Academy, July 1, 1886, General Penn was appointed a second lieutenant, 13th Infantry, and in the course of promotion reached the grade of colonel on March 2nd, 1917. While an officer of the Regular Army, he held commissions in the United States Volunteers as Captain, Assistant Quartermaster, from May 30, 1898 to November 30th, 1898, as Major, 34th Infantry, from July 11th, 1899 to April 17th, 1901, and as temporary brigadier general from August 30th, 1917, to March 1st, 1919. He was retired as a colonel, December 5th, 1924 because of disability in line of duty, and was advanced on the retired list, to his highest war time rank of brigadier general in accordance with the provisions of legislation enacted June 21st, 1930.
General Penn was a graduate of the Army War College, and valedictorian when he graduated from the Infantry and Cavalry School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1891. His thesis "Mounted Infantry" was published in one of the service journals. He was detailed in the General staff Corps from September 15th, 1906, to August 11th, 1909 and in the Adjutant General's Department from October 8th, 1919 to July 11th, 1922.
In the early years of his military service, General Penn was on frontier duty in the Southwest and West. He took part in an expedition against the Bannock Indians in Wyoming and Idaho in 1865 and was Instructor of Military Tactics at Omaha High School, Omaha, Nebraska. During the War with Spain he served a Assistant Brigade Adjutant, and Brigade and Division Quartermaster a Chickamauga, Georgia, and at Tampa, Florida. He was later senior Assistant Instructor of Infantry Tactics at the United States Military Academy until July, 1899. He then joined his regiment and proceeded to the Philippine Islands. There he participated in a number of actions and expeditions against hostile natives at the time of the Insurrection. The 34th Volunteer Infantry, which he helped to organize at Denver, Colorado, was the first volunteer regiment to reach the islands. In subsequent years he served three more tours of duty in the Philippines, during one of which he was Aide-de-Camp and Military Secretary to Lieutenant General H. C. Corbin. He also served on staff duty with Lieutenant General J. C. Bates, Lieutenant General Adna R. Chaffee and General Frederick Grant. General Penn was on recruiting duty at Fort Wayne, Indiana and was Chief of Staff to General T.J. Wint at Base of Operations, Newport News, Virginia in 1906. He was an instructor at the Army War College, Washington, D.C., and an Inspector-Instructor of the Militia of Nebraska and served a tour of duty in the Hawaiian Department. In 1916 he commanded the 3rd Infantry at Madison Barracks, New York, and later on the Mexican border. He next organized and commanded the 37th Infantry at Camp Wilson, Texas, and upon entry of the United States into the World war was on duty at the Headquarters Central Department, Chicago, Illinois. He was later with the National Guard of Ohio at Columbus and commanded the 170th Infantry Brigade, 85th Division, at Camp Custer, Michigan. He sailed with his Brigade for France July, 1918. While serving overseas with the American Expeditionary Forces he was Chief of the Personnel Bureau at General Headquarters and was assigned to Command the 76th Infantry Brigade, 38th Division. He was an observer with the 2nd Division during the Meuse-Argonne operations. Returning to his country in December, 1918, in command of the 38th Division Cadre, he subsequently commanded Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky. He was on duty in the office of the Adjutant General, was Adjutant 3rd Corps Area, and was Commandant of the Atlantic Branch U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, Fort Jay, New York.
The outstanding work of his military career was the part he played in the rescue of Lieutenant J. C. Gilmore of the Navy and 25 others American prisoners. These prisoners had been hurried from on prison t another each a little farther north as American troops advanced north in Luzon, P.I. The Philippine officer in charge of them had been ordered to take them into the mountains and shoot them. Losing courage he abandoned them to their fate without food, tools or arms. On hundred and twenty men of the 33rd and 34th United States Volunteer Infantry found these men trying to build rafts to float down an unknown river. Before they could reach them however, they engaged several skirmishes, one of which at Tangnadin Pass took upon itself the proportions of a major engagement. The fortifications at Tangnadin Pass consisting of tiers of trenches had required the work of hundreds of Filipinos for a year and were well nigh impregnable from a frontal attack. The enemy was well entrenched and well armed. These American troops were in a deplorable condition from lack of sufficient food and shoes about worn out from the long, long march through mud and water. As arranged, the fight began at 10 a.m., General Penn with detachments of F and H of the 2nd Battalion, 34th Volunteer Infantry made a long detour and hard rough climb, wit a scarcity of water, cutting their way through tangled vines and under brush to reach a point overlooking the trenches, unprotected for the angle of the spur upon which he was finally able to place his men. Heavy firing continued through the day and it was not until nearly dark that the welcome sound of General Penn's Krags were heard firing from above and directly into the trenches of the enemy. Pandemonium reigned, the enemy was completely surprised and broke in demoralized confusion. the loss of the enemy was 180 found dead in the trenches. The loss of the 34th, three killed and ten wounded. General Tinio with his scattered forces hurriedly beat a retreat taking the Gilmore party with him. On the same day that Gilmore was rescued Captain W. E. Dame and E company also of the 2nd Battalion, 34th United States Volunteer Infantry had a skirmish with natives and captured the United States Launch flag that was on Gilmore's boat when he and his crew were taken at Baler, P.I. April 12th, 1899. Thirty years after the fight of Tangnadin Pass which made the rescue of Lieutenant Gilmore and 25 Americans possible, and four months before his death General Penn received a silver star decoration and the following citation, "For gallantry in action in pursuit of superior forces of the enemy under the Insurgent General Tinio, in Northern Luzon, P.I. December 4th to 18th, 1899, through a most dangerous and difficult country, through great hardships and exposure, thereby forcing the enemy to liberate twenty-two American prisoners held by him December 18, 1899." Four others were liberated later. Subsequently the Spanish General Pena and 2,000 Spanish prisoners were liberated at Bangued Abra Province and at Dingras, IIiose Norte. General Penn was awarded a Spanish War Service Medal, a Mexican Border Service Medal and a World War Victory Medal.
July 2nd, 1934, General Douglas MacArthur, Chief of Staff, wrote of General Penn, "Throughout his long years of faithful service, extending over a period thirty-eight years General Penn displayed those fine professional and gentlemanly qualities which earned for him the confidence and esteem of all which whom he came in contact. Gifted with sound judgment, thoroughly reliable, and devoted to duty, he was entrusted with many important assignments and the successful manner in which he discharged these responsibilities fully justified the confidence placed in him. His death is deeply regretted."
My 14th, 1934, General W. E. Horton wrote, "He was a fine soldier, a splendid citizen, and a devoted brother".
May 14th, 1934, Colonel J. A. Moss wrote, "He was one of the finest characters I have ever known and my association with him is one of the happiest memories of my life".
May 14th, 1934, Colonel P. M. Ashburn wrote, "No man stood in higher esteem with us than did your beloved and distinguished brother. He has nobly served his country and his generation".
May 14th, 1934, Dr. and Mrs. Frank B. Dyer, Cincinnati, Ohio, "We have always regarded Julius as one of the finest men we ever knew, brave, generous, kind, filled with a large charity and loving his neighbor as himself, a fine soldier, a gallant gentleman, without fear and without reproach".
Mr. David W. Roberts, editor of The Clermont Sun, said in his paper May 17th, 1934, "General Penn was beloved by all his acquaintances in Batavia and vicinity particularly the children".
General Penn put on young lady through High School and The University of Illinois, another through Ohio State University at Columbus, Ohio, another through several years training for a graduate nurse, and helped several others financially with their education. He gave his sister five years at Cincinnati Art Academy and numerous trips and favors too numerous to mention, for which she is everlastingly grateful.
General Penn delighted in entertaining the army children wherever stationed or on army transports to or from the Philippines. In later years scarcely a week passed without a wedding invitation from one of these little friends grown up and without exception they met a generous response.
When General H. C. Corbin was in Cincinnati July, 1908, attending the Taft notification ceremonies, he spent an evening with Judge P. F. Swing and Judge James B. Swing. In a letter of July 30 Judge J. B. Swing wrote to Captain Penn, "Peter asked him what he thought of Captain Penn. General Corbin said with real earnestness, 'He is the best officer of his rank in the Army. He could command an army in a war today.' This high compliment, which I am sure is entirely merited, I think you ought to know of. I was very glad indeed to hear General Corbin say it and in such a cordial and hearty way. I think one who is worthy ought to know that he is appreciated. You ought to know while you are living of the high esteem in whish you are hoed by others who know of your abilities and character." I quote an extract from a letter written by General John J. Pershing to the graduates of the class of '86, which was read at their twenty-fifth reunion at West Point and also read by General Pershing at the thirty-eighth reunion of '86 at West Point. "The class of '86 at West Point was in many ways remarkable. There were no cliques, no dissentions, and personal prejudices or selfishness. From the very day we entered, the class as a unit has always stood for the very best traditions of West Point. The class of '86 has always been known in the army and is known today as a class of all around solid men - men capable of ably performing any duty and of loyally fulfilling any trust. The individual character of each man has made itself felt upon his fellows in the army from the start. In civil life, as professional men, or as men of affairs wherever placed, the class of '86 has always made good. Well may we congratulate ourselves on the achievements of the class."
May 16th, 1934, General Pershing wrote of Brigadier General Penn, "I especially recall his services on my staff at the General Headquarters of the American Expeditionary Forces in France. He had a long and distinguished career in the army, and you may well be proud, as his classmates are, of his faithful and loyal service".
General Penn was and honorary Aide-de-Camp to President Harding on a trip from Washington, D.D., to Point Pleasant, Ohio, April 21 to 24, 1922 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of General U.S. Grant. General Penn was a cousin of Colonel P.M. Ashburn and Major General T. Q. Ashburn of the Army. The accompanying picture was taken in 1906 when General Penn was forty-one years of age, serving on the staff of Lieutenant General H. C. Corbin at Saint Louis, Missouri.
General Penn was a Methodist, a 32nd degree Mason, Member of Sacket Harbor Lodge F. and A.M., U.S. Army Square Club, Governor’s Island, New York, Scottish Rite of Columbus, Ohio, an honorary member of Batavia, Ohio, Masonic Lodge, an honorary member of The Michigan Sovereign Consistory, member Military Order of the Carabao, member Ohio Society of New York, and a member of Terrace Park Golf and Country Club of Hamilton County, Ohio.
The last ten years of General Penn's life were spent with his sister, Miss Jennie Penn, at the old homestead near Batavia. There he enjoyed a happy contented life and retained a keen interest in everything to the last. His death May 13th, 1934 was caused by heart trouble. His funeral took place from the family home May 15th, 1934. The interment was at the Citizens' Cemetery, Batavia, Ohio.
I have never known a person more honorable, more deserving of full confidence; more devoted and loyal to Country, to immediate family, relatives and friends than the late General Penn.

I've posted one of these before but this one is for our master database.
The initial drop is us starting to hit pgbouncer on the server, rather than via lots of pgbouncers on the client, and switching to transaction pooling.
It got a bit messy as it turns out our server_lifetime and server_idle_timeout were tuned way down; to seconds rather than minutes, so a lot of connection churn was occuring. The pleasant flat bit at the end is our current state.

Repost @fuzzpope ・・・ I'm going to kick off Fuzz Friday with a spiffy new, Big Foot-proof fuzzy preamp my comrade Rob of @huber_effects Effects has conjured up. Effect description, from the source, "The IzzyPlus is a little known impedance buffer/preamp designed for steel guitars by the C.M. Baker company. This is a careful recreation of the original circuit, with only slight changes to the components, and housed in a board friendly enclosure. This version also includes a Big Muff tone stack, trimmed for maximum gain, and a switch to remove the tone stack. As a buffer, it can be placed before or after your signal chain or used as a standalone boost to push your tubes to fuzz overload. Unit #001, antiqued finish.".This stomp should make a great drinking partner with the Osiris Fuzz that Rob sent me last month, give a follow and keep your eyes on Mr Huber Effects for more awesomeness coming soon. The Izzy Plus is available by request, so first cone, first serve! #hubereffects #fuzzfriday #effectsdatabase #pedalboardmadness #rigsofdoom #guitar #tone #guitars #pedal #pedals #electricguitars #geartalk #gearporn #knowyourtone #fuzz #overdrive #gearwire #gearnerds #toneheaven #guitargear #gottone #guitarpedals #gearaholics #pedalporn #guitareffects #tonefordays #gearpassion #stompbox, via Instagram: bit.ly/2bEB1hc

Walter became frustrated at what seemed to him to be an inordinately long time on home duty while the rest of the BEF was already fighting in France. However, when he did eventually set foot on French soil his war turned out to be a very short one. His battalion disembarked on 13 September and the next week was spent getting to the Front, partly on the march and partly by train. Finally Walter saw action in the Battle of the Aisne, but on 25 September his life was taken when he was shot by a sniper. His Batman, a Pte Barnes, seeing that his officer had been hit, put his own life in danger trying to recover his body, but, alas, Walter had been mortally wounded. Pte Barnes was Mentioned in Despatches for his gallantry and receiv a silver plate from Walter's mother, as a thank you."]: www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/578826/HILL,%20WALTER...
