Notes:
DAR ID Number: 64215
She was a third grade teacher in the Carrollton Public School System for many years. As a member of the DAR it was she who responsible for tracing the Herndon line of the family back through Archelaus Perkins for DAR qualification. Miss Anna, as she was known by most of Carrollton remained to her dying day a staunch Rebel who actively displayed the Rebel flag, called Negroes (whom she respected "in their place") Negras, and referred to President Lincoln as "Mr. Lincoln". Along with her father, "Cap'n Otey" she never surrendered. (ref. V. B. Otey notes)
Her respect for Negroes came naturally as a result of her having played as a child with the children of the slaves on her grandfather's plantation - Herndon Hill, near Carrollton, Missouri.
These further notes from her grand niece Barbara Schweppe Hanes:
"Aunt Annie had a colored woman, Mandy, who cooked and cleaned for her and I loved to hear about her life. Don't remember much of her after the war. (WWII) Aunt Annie had only rocking chairs in her living room as she usually had a quilting frame set up there. Her friends in the United Daughters of the Confederacy, War of 1812, Daughters of the Revolution met there. I believe she belonged to every organization in town that a maiden lady could. In the Eastern Star, she knew Mary Jane Truman, the sister of Harry. (Pres. Ca '45-46)
She did show a lot of spirit as she got mad at the Baptist Church and became a Christian Scientist. I remember her filling gelatin capsules with garlic to use as a cold remedy. In L.A. today, they advertise such capsules as a cure-all.
She had a little Chevy coupe and she and mother (Vera) and Kay (brother)drove all over Missouri in it.
Aunt Annie visited us in Fort Scott yearly and mother showed her a grand time. Aunt Annie had a great library in her home with oak glass-fronted bookcases. She usually gave me books for gifts and opened the world of reading to me - for which I am grateful.
When I eloped with my high school sweetheart, Aunt Annie sent gifts and was supportive of me until her death.

7. | Julia Emmory Otey (2.Mary2, 1.Archilaus1) was born on 15 Dec 1871 in Carrollton, Carroll, Missouri, USA; died on 17 Mar 1929. Notes:
From her death notice in the Hale MO newspaper:
She was born December 15, 1871 on a farm near Carrollton Mo (sic) - the "farm" at the time of her birth was actually a plantation known as Herndon Hill.
She was educated in the Carrollton Public Schools, and graduated high school with the class of 1889.
September 24, 1891 she was united in marriage with Arlie Cleveland. They resided in Carrollton for two years, moving then to a farm near Hale (Mo) where they have since made their home.
She was a member of the Hale Baptist Church. A lady highly respected and esteemed by all who knew her. Funeral services in her memory were held from the Willis Brother's Funeral Home, Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock; conducted by Rev. E.C. Vanderpool/assisted by Rev. T.J. West of Carrollton. Interment was made in the Oakhill Cemetery (Hale?)
Note from her Grandson Harold W. Cleveland:
She died about 1929. I was too young to know much about her except that she was a kind and generous person to me. She was also quite strict and would brook no "sass". One of the first "big" words I learned was from her oft repeated statement to me: "young man! Don't you contradict me!" She would not allow my Granddad to smoke in the house, and was firmly set against his (or anyone's) drinking (even of a social nature.)
One of her favorite books was a copy of Tenneyson's complete works, as of this writing (1/2/94) it is in my possession. Inside the front and back covers are penciled repeated references to Alie Cleveland made in 1888, the most telling being: "AC is the cutest boy in the United States". Though outwardly strict and proper, she obviously had depths of emotions which were rarely revealed.
I loved her dearly!
Julia married Arlie E. Cleveland on 24 Sep 1891 in Carrollton, Carroll County, MO. Arlie (son of Seneca Cleveland and Mary Hughes) was born on 25 Oct 1870; died in 1953 in Fort Scott, Bourbon County, KS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

14. | Harold Herndon Cleveland (7.Julia3, 2.Mary2, 1.Archilaus1) was born on 18 Dec 1895 in Hale, MO; died on 16 Jun 1943 in Burlington, IA. Notes:
As reported by his son Harold W.:
Following his graduation from the Hale MO High School, Harold enrolled in the Chillicothe Business College - an advanced educational move for his time and place. After graduation, he was employed by the Brown Shoe Factory in Brookfield, MO. While in Brookfield he married Elaine Julia Irvin of Chillicothe, MO ca Fall or Winter of 1916-17. He was inducted into the army at Linneus, MO October 3rd, 1917 as part of the 3rd division of the first draft. He served in France with the AEF, first as a Field Clerk, but was promoted to the rank of Battalion Sergeant Major of company "C", Headquarters Battalion, GHQ, in France on the 20th of February, 1919. He was proud of the fact that he was for a time personal chauffeur to General "Black Jack" Pershing. His service number was: 2311903. He once told about standing in line in France for his turn to ride in an "aeroplane" a new and daring form of transportation in those days. As the aircraft was trying to land, the pilot lost control and it crashed and burned, killing both the pilot and his passenger. As he put it, I (his son) came that close to never being born; had he been one person sooner in the line, he would have been the one killed.
After the war (WWI) he was employed as a shipping clerk by the Burlington Railroad, until ca 1930 when he passed the required state board examination, and became one of the first male beauticians in MO (if not the first).
After my mother's death he continued operating the shop. Ca Fall of 1936 he married my mother's last apprentice, Susan Maples, who had stayed onto help.
At the onset of WWII they moved to Burlington, Iowa where Susie continued to operate the shop while he went back to the railroad as an "IOP division clerk". In Burlington, they resided at 2617 Columbia St, Flint Hills Manor.
He suffered a fatal heart attack over his lunch while at work on June 16, 1943. He was rarely ill, not even susceptible to the common cold.
Harold married Elaine Julia Irvin in 1916 in Chillicothe, MO. Elaine was born on 17 Apr 1892 in Chillicothe, MO; died on 13 Jan 1935. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
Harold married Susanne Maple [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

16. | Otey Fairbank Cleveland (7.Julia3, 2.Mary2, 1.Archilaus1) was born in 1893; died in 1896. Notes:
The obituary of Otey reads:
Otey Fairbank Cleveland, aged 2 years and 10 months, the oldest son of Arlie Cleveland died this morning at the residence of his grandmother, Mrs. Cooper (sic) on South Locust street. Mrs. Cleveland and her children had been visiting her mother (sic) for several days. The little boy has been complaining since Monday, but not until Wednesday evening was he taken violently sick with inflammation of the bowels, hence his death this morning was an unexpected and severe blow to his mother. Arlie is out at the farm near Bridge Creek, and didn't even know the child was sick. A messenger was sent out for him this morning to tell him of his son's serious illness. Soon after the messenger left the little fellow died. No arrangements for the burial will be made until Mr. Cleveland arrives tonight. In this sudden affliction the father and mother have the sincere sympathy of the community.
The foregoing is from a newspaper clipping which unfortunately was undated and gives no hint as to its source.
