Peter (1798) and Mary Elmore(1801) Hibdon were born in Tennessee.
Peter's parents are John and Vina Elmore Hibdon. Their children are
Thomas,
Melvina, Henry, Ralph, Peter, and George. The family left Tennessee and
moved in Illinois. Peter left the family in Illinois and traveled to
Morgan County, Missouri where he purchased land in 1841. Upon his return
to Illinois, he became sick and died. Mary brought the children on her
own and settled on the land Peter had bought for them. It is possible
that one son returned to Illinois to live and that they may have left a
daughter in Tennessee.
"I received the following notes from Marie Hibdon Haynes but I do not
know who wrote them."
"Peter Hibdon born in Tennessee about 1800
Buried: some family members have said he went back to Jerseyville,
Illinois and is buried there. Essie Hibdon says that he came with family
to the homestead on Soap Creek. He died and is buried in the old
Rastover School yard with a brother Phillip. No record of him being
removed when the Lake of the Ozarks was built. The old school is now
under water.
He took out a land grant in St. Louis, Missouri in 1840.
Census records state two sons were born in Missouri. Therefore I
believe he came with his wife, Mary Elmore Hibdon and children to Soap
Creek homestead. They came to Soap Creek in 1845
My father, Fred Hibdon, had told me that there were brothers of Mary
Elmore Hibdon in the area also, they had settled around Climas Springs,
Missouri. One time when Grandpa Tom Hibdon was a mail carrier he was
traveling south of Gravois Mills on horseback. A man with a mask over
his face jumped from the bushes beside the road onto his horse behind him
and tried to grab his mail bags. He didn't succeed, Grandapa Tom was
sure it was one of the Elmore's.
Dad has said that Grandpa Tom and a brother used to saddle their horses
and ride up to Jerseyville, Illinois occasionally. Some family members
have said there was a sister that lived there."
Some members of the family stated that he went back to Jerseyville,
Illinois to visit a daughter and got sick and died there.

Ollie Hope Mattox, daughter of Elmer Luther and Roxie Ellen (Calton)
Mattox was born April 11, 1918 near Linn Creek in Camden County,
Missouri. She passed from this life January 12, 1997 in the Sarasota
Nursing Pavillion, Sarasota, Florida at the age of 78 years 9 months.
Her early life was spent in Camden County area, but at the age of 9 she
came to live with Otis and Effie Snethen in the Lamoni area, while there
she attended the West Side Elementary School. When the family moved to
Harrison County, Missouri she attended the Downey School.
At the age of 14, Hope was baptized into the Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Hope went to live with Art and Wanda Derry to keep house, cook, and care
for their children Donna and Larry while Wanda taught piano. She attended
Lamoni High School and finished her work in 1938. With Wanda's
encouragement, she entered the nursing program at Sister's Hospital (now
Heartland East) in St. Joseph, Missouri. She received her R.N. degree in
1944 and was awarded the Florence Nightengale award for excellence in
nursing.
She married George B. McClellan February 16, 1944 in the home of Mrs.
Alice Mohler at
Robinson, Kansas. Their son George B. was born in 1948 while they lived
in California.
Hope's ambition, determination, and willingness to work hard resulted in
achieving excellence as a nurse. She received numerous commendations
during her 25 years with the Veterans Administration. She had stints of
duty where George was stationed and worked at hospitals in California,
Poplar Bluffs, Missouri, Gainesville, Florida, and Columbia, Missouri.
She cared deeply for her patients , especially the sickest ones. She gave
patient and loving care to all whom she served as a nurse.
Hope loved life in a rural setting. She loved flowers, especially wild
flowers of which she could name many varieties. She loved gardening and
had wonderful vegatables from her garden when she lived in Missouri.
Fresh tomatoes were a special reward. Sunshine was also a cherished gift
of nature to her with singing birds a special delight. Cooking was always
accompanied by her humming songs which reflected the joy she found in
preparing meals for loved ones.
She will be remembered as a loving, caring and gentle wife and mother as
well as a
grandmother. Her tactfulness was evident in all her relationships with
others. She was a lady in the true sense of the word.
Preceding her in death were her parents; her sisters, Effie May (Mattox)
Snethen, Mary Talitha Mattox, Fay Lucile Mattox; brothers Louis Andrew
Mattox, David Edward Mattox, Raymond Luther Mattox, and infant boy
