HENRY HOWARD
SEPT. 8, 1884
MAY 21, 1966. New Florence Leader

Nunnelly -- Davault.

A beautiful home wedding was solemnized Wednesday evening, September 27, 1911, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alf Davault, when their daughter, Katharyn Clare, became the bride of Mr. Howard Nunnelly.
Promptly at 8:00 o'clock, the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, played by Miss Edith Davault, sister of the bride, announced the approach of the bridal party. The bride and groom, preceded by the attendants, Miss Susie Pemberton and Mr. Herbert Davault, advanced to the bay window, which had been converted by means of flowers and ferns into a bower of beauty for the occasion where the Rev. Rigg in an impressive manner performed the wedding ceremony. The bridal party then led the way to the tastefully appointed dining room where an elegant supper was served.
The petite and winsome bride never looked more charming than in her wedding gown of soft white silk over white satin, with trimmings of white lace and pearl passamentra over which fell the bridal veil held in place over a wreath of orange blossoms. The bride'smaid was also attired in white silk with trimmings of hand embroidery and lace. The groom and groomsman both wore the conventional black.
They were the recipients of many handsome and useful presents which betokened the high esteem of a wide circle of friends.
The bride is a highly cultured young lady, and has been for a number of years one of the popular teachers of this and adjoining counties.
The groom is the oldest son on Mr. and Mrs. Henry Nunnelly of this place and is a model young man in every respect and well worthy of the bride he has chosen.
They will go to housekeeping at once in the Locke cottage in the east end of town, where the best wishes of their many friends for a long and prosperous journey through life attend them.

BASIC FACTS

Alfred Davault, Jr., was born on 9 December 1885 in New Florence, Montgomery Co., Missouri.^1,6,7 He and Elvina W. Niederauer were married before 1930 in Probably California.⁸ He died on 21 June 1949, at age 63, in Mexico, Audrain Co., Missouri.^1,9,10 He was buried in New Florence Cemetery, New Florence, Missouri, Section 1, Block 30, Grave 8.^1,9

Alfred Davault, Jr., had reference number 379. He resided in Denver, Denver Co., Colorado; Sonoma Co., California; Oakland, Alameda Co., California; New Florence, Montgomery Co., Missouri.¹ His Social Security Number was 566-28-6632.⁷ He was an Engineer - highway (1920); foreman - building construction (1930); manager - apartment home (1940); road contractor (death certificate.)^7,2,4,5 He was enumerated on the census in Montgomery County, Missouri (1900); Sonoma County, California (1920); Alameda County, California (1930); San Francisco County, California (1940.) Note (from Newland DeVault):
As a young man he moved to Denver, Colorado where he lived for a number of years. Later moved to the San Francisco area where his divorced wife lived. He returned to New Florence shortly before his death after being stricken with a serious malady.

Note (from Tracy DeVault):
In the 1920 Census Alfred is living alone and shown as single. Also in the 1920 Census, his future wife, Elvina, is living in San Benito County, California with husband William C. Buchta. In the 1930 Census Alfred is living alone but shown as being married. Also in the 1930 Census, Elvina, now shown as Elvina W. Devault, is also living alone and shown as being married. It appears that Alfred married Elvina sometime between 1920 and 1930. Elvina is listed as "Elvina W. Davault" in the California Death Records and on her grave marker. In the 1940 Census, Alfred is living alone and shown as divorced. Elvina is not mentioned in Alfred's obituary but she is listed as his wife on his death certificate.

Alfred Davault, 63, of New Florence, brother of Mrs. J. T. Laws of Mexico, died at the Audrain Hospital Tuesday night at 9 o'clock. He had been a patient there since June 8.
Funeral services will be held at Mr. Davault’s sister's home, Mrs. H. H. Nunnelly in New Florence with interment in the New Florence cemetery.
A retired contractor, Mr. Davault, was born on December 9 1885, in New Florence the son of Alfred and Elizabeth Davault. For the past 15 years he had been making his home in San Diego, Calif., having returned to New Florence in March.
Survivors other than his sisters, Mrs. Laws and Mrs. Nunnelly include one brother, H. H. Davault of New Florence; and two other sisters, Mrs. Angie Lavender of New Florence and Mrs. T. I. Tritch of St Louis.

BASIC FACTS

Elvina W. Niederauer was born on 24 August 1881 in Lees Summit, Jackson Co., Missouri.⁶ She and Alfred Davault, Jr., were married before 1930 in Probably California.² She died on 3 July 1960, at age 78, in Los Angeles Co., California.⁶ She was buried in Angeles Rosedale Cemetery, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California.⁷

Elvina W. Niederauer was also known as Alvina Unknown.^8,9 She had reference number 380. She was enumerated on the census in Los Angeles County, California (1910); San Benito County, California (1920, 1930.) She was a Proprietor - tavern (1920.)³ On 24 Dec 1908 in Los Angeles County, California, Elvina married William C. Buchta.

GRAVE MARKER

ELVINA W.
DAVAULT
1881 - 1960

Note (from Tracy DeVault)
Learning Elvina's maiden name and the names of her parents proved to be quite a challenge. None of the trees on Ancestry.com show her maiden name. Elvina's Social Security and Claims Index record shows her being born in Lees Summit, Jackson County, Missouri. More searching turned up Elvina's death notice (shown above). It listed Dorothea Winker as a niece and Alfred Hunt as a nephew. I decided to look for a family with a granddaughter named Dorothea Winker and a grandson named Alfred Hunt.
Dorothea Winker turned out to be Dorothea B. Winker, born 4 Apr 1899 in Lees Summit, Jackson County, Missouri and died 25 Feb 1968 in Los Angeles County, California. I was pretty sure this was the correct Dorothea Winker as both Elvina and Dorothea were born in Lees Summit, Jackson County, Missouri. Dorothea's parents turned out to be Carl/Karl Winker and Olive Mathilda/Matilda Niederauer (1868 - 1932). In the 1880 Census, Olive was living in Lees Summit, Jackson County, Missouri. I decided that Olive was one of Elvina's siblings. Olive's parents were Ulrich Niederauer and Roxana D. Clouse. Having been born in 1881 or 1882, Elvina was not listed in the 1880 Census.
Next I learned that Roxana died in 1880, shortly after the census was taken. Ulrich soon married Louise Schulze (21 Feb 1881 in Jackson County, Missouri). This meant that it was Louise and not Roxana that was Elvina's mother. Then, on 2 Apr 1885, Ulrich Niederauer died. I tried to find Louise and family in the 1900 Census but no luck. I then discovered that Louise and her children had moved to Los Angeles County, California. There, on 2 Nov 1907, Louise (Schulze) Niederauer married Harry Hood Hunt. Their son, Alfred Ardive Hunt was born in 1909. Alfred Hunt was the nephew listed in Elvina's death notice.
Elvina was not shown living with the Hunts in the 1910 Census. However, I did find a California Marriage Record showing Elvina W. Niederauer marrying William C. Bochta in 1908 in Los Angeles County, California. She and Alfred Davault, Jr., had children in No Children.

Mr. G. Y. Bast, owner of the Electric Light Plant at Vandalia, had the misfortune to have a pleasure boat burned at Louisiana the 8th. Mr. Bast had constructed the boat himself and had taken considerable pains in perfecting every arrangement, the engine and every detail of mechanical work being his own. In company with his cousin, A. F. Davault (this is Aylett French Davault), he took the boat to Louisiana to make its trial trip on the Mississippi. Gasoline was used in the engine, and unfortunately some had been spilt in the boat. The boat was launched and moved over the water like a duck. After it had reached mid-stream and gone up the River a short distance, the vapor from the gasoline spilt in the boat ignited and the flames around the engine soon developed. The gas and the boiler soon subjected to a pressure of 250 pounds to the square inch, the safety valve blew off, and the several hundred who had watched the proceedings from the bank thought the engine was "busted." The efforts of the boys to extinguish the fire was fruitless and they took to the water. In the meantime, several gallons of gasoline stored away in the boat for use had exploded. After a desperate fight with fire and flames they were rescued by a skiff. Davault says it's bad enough to fight for life in water alone, but that to have to swim through fire and water was more than he bargained for. While the boat was destroyed for use it did not sink and the machinery was all saved. Mr. Bast has built several boats and he says he will yet build and run the handsomest boat on the Mississippi.

Regrettably, George abandoned the family shortly after the birth of his daughter May Vaurien. Her mother Lillie raised Vaurien with close support from her parents, Benjamin and Elizabeth Wilson. Although Benjamin held a long grudge against Lillie for her poor choice in husbands, he became Vaurien's adored father figure and he always treated her like his own daughter, if not better.

By Augusta Bast

I lived in the "Gay Nineties" or I might say I am living in that period now, for when the shadows of evening fall, or in the quiet of the day, memories take one back to those happy childhood hours of long ago.
We lived on a farm at the edge of a small town. Our home was a large two-story white frame house. There was a long veranda across the front upstairs and down. The old red honeysuckle in one corner of them reached almost to the roof of the house, and was filled with blossoms all summer, and in it the hummingbirds built their nests and flitted happily back and forth, the honeybees were also frequent visitors. There was a back porch with comfortable chairs on it, a brick walk in front leading to a side gate and across the walk from it, under an arbor covered with grape and madera vines was the well or cistern. The water was always icy cold, only in winter was it allowed to run into the well.
Our home had large rooms and high ceilings as was customary in those days. There were four bedrooms, parlor, "sitting room", dining room, maid's room, kitchen and two wide halls, the lower one from the front door to the back and in it stood the old Grandfather clock. There was a hall or breezeway we would call it today between kitchen and dining room.
In the "sitting room" there was a fireplace always with a big fire in winter and by which we loved to spend our evenings often with company, sometimes just the family, but always there was plenty to entertain or amuse us until the "Old Clock on the Stair" struck the bedtime hour. There was no electricity in the country at that time. We used coal oil chandeliers and table lamps and some reflector lamps on the walls. There was always plenty of light in the house and lanterns were used in the stables.
The surroundings were beautiful, a very large yard enclosed by a white picket fence, a brick walk led from the house to the "sty blocks", as they were called. There were steps across the front fence leading to a broad platform on top and, outside the yard, steps on either side of the platform which one went down to enter the carriage or buggy. From the top one mounted the horses for riding. There were hitching posts near by and a drive between two rows of large maple trees leading to a gate with two huge posts and opening on the "Big Road", the only excuse as a highway. It was adequate as we managed to drive where we pleased.
The train service was excellent. Two trains east and two west stopped each day and a night train each way could be flagged and stopped, but the "Midnight Cannon Ball" went roaring through.
On either side of the house were beautiful pastures, next to town the smaller one with shade trees and a large pond with boats on it, around the banks under the trees were rustic seats. I used to love to sit and watch the bull frogs jump in and out of the water and sing or croak, to me it was a delightful song. The other pasture some distance out and on the other side of the house seemed always filled with cattle, horses and mules, and way beyond were fields.
Of course there were collie dogs, hunting dogs and terriers and cats galore tho they lived near the barns. There was a root house where vegetables were kept in winter, a wash house where the family laundry was done, a large ice house where the thick ice was cut from the pond in squares and stored in sawdust for summer use. A carriage house, stables, granary, wagon shed, cattle barn and smoke house where the meat was hung and smoked with hickory chips.
The garden was back of the yard and back of it an orchard. There they grew melons too, and I might be often seen with a "yeast powder" can with holes punched in the top and filled with salt and pepper eating the luscious cantaloupes. This amused my father who no doubt spoiled me and I wanted to follow him wherever he might be working, thinking I was a great help to him.
There was an office building in the rear yard with a fireplace, desk and chairs in it. My grandfather was a Dr. and he used this as his office and a place to store coffee by the gunny sack, sugar by the barrel and old New Orleans molasses by the keg which was a must in our family, tho we always had sorghum from the sorghum mill nearby and often there was a large bunch of bananas hanging from the ceiling. Flour, meal and brown sugar were kept in a large pantry off the kitchen, as was peach leather they made and served in small strips.
Like most homes in those days there was plenty of help. My grandfather gave a farm to a slave who would not leave him during or after the War Between the States. His daughters and granddaughters and my old nurse Ginnie were my mother's constant helpers. My parents were "Massa and Missus" to the old man and I think the love and respect was mutual. It was a happy time when I was taken to eat some of old Aunt Becky's blackberry pie, made of berries picked near her home.
I had no sisters, but one brother many years older than I, a brilliant and highly educated young man. In vacation time we were surrounded with his friends. How I used to sit and watch the beautiful young girls and their escorts going to parties or being entertained and I would put on long dresses of my mother's as girls do today and when I was sent to bed, I would creep down to the top landing of the stairs and watch the party and wish I were grown up too. Often there was music, violin, piano and singing. I was permitted to stay up and sometimes asked to say a speech which I did without the least insistence and in no uncertain tone of voice.
Company was a joy in those days, tho sometimes they stayed a month or more. All one had to do was go to the smoke house and get down a big ham or some kind of meat or out to the chicken coup and get chickens. The darkies were as happy over company as we were and proud to prepare a big meal. There was always a supply of hop yeast on hand. A large wooden tray of biscuit dough and fried chicken for breakfast was not unusual. Green coffee, parched in the kitchen oven and ground in an iron coffee mill, boiled in a tin coffee kettle, was served from a silver coffee pot by my mother at the table.
Tho the town was small, many noted men visited there. The preachers were always entertained in our house, the large family bible was on a marble top table in the hall as was the silver water pitcher and goblet. When a preacher spent the night, in the morning all the household was called to the sitting room for bible reading and prayers. Sometimes the service was rather long and as I did not always conduct myself properly, I was excused from attending for a time.
I can not think now but that I was the only one to enjoy thrashing time for the wheat and oats, but the engine and the big separator fascinated me and I would go and climb on the big post and watch for them to come, and beg until they let me go, just once, to see the thrashing.
It was decided my first schooling should be in the home. The teacher they engaged was a woman known to my mother and her sister. They considered themselves very fortunate to procure her, but I was not told or did not pay much attention to any of this and when she came I took one long look at her, my mother called it staring, she always had said ladies did not stare, but no one but Ginnie ever said I was a lady anyway. My impression was she was red-headed, pigeon-toed and shrunken, that look was enough. I left the room to hunt Ginnie who always cautioned me to keep away from "Po white trash", tho I had never seen anyone I thought was "Po white trash", and log cabins, to me, were the most beautiful houses. I found Ginnie and told her to go look in the sitting room cause there was a Po White trash in there sure. But she said, "no chile, that lady is 'hi tone' and educated, you must be nice to her, she is going to teach you." I could not take this even from Ginnie, whom I loved dearly. I filled my pocket with cookies, called Frisky, my little black terrier, and went down to the pond to meditate. I decided I would not go to school at all, what was the use, my father knew everything and he could tell me all I wanted to know. I would not even go to the house to supper. The thought of fried chicken did not interest me too much, bit the good old apple dumplings in the oven, and the rich sauce to go over them, was too great a temptation, so Frisky and I went back. I sat at the table by my father and turned my head away. No one paid any attention to me, and soon I was listening spell bound to Miss Eliza tell of countries she had visited and many interesting experiences. I forgot all about her looks, which of course were not too bad. Soon her kindly manner won me over completely. She was a writer, and to this day I think my love of poetry was instilled in me in the year she was with us. I even wrote a poem which was published, not because of the merit of the poem, but because with my father and my dog, I was a frequent visitor in the town and I am sure they did it to make me happy. I have long since lost the poem and only remember a verse or two, which went like this:
Fairest little violets
I their beauty shine
Filling all the air around
With fragrance sweet and fine.

I am sure now, only through kindness, was it put in the little town paper, not so then, I really thought I was a poetess.
I had a small Shetland pony I used to ride to town too, and one of the merchants would encourage me to ride in his store, and he would give us both candy. My pony soon learned and when I tried to ride past the store going to my uncle's she would turn in there in spite of my feeble efforts to control her.
Our Christmases were joyous times, always a big X-mas dinner. Turkey, and on the table two large compotes of ambrosia, a mountain cake, which was my mother's highly prized recipe, sat on an old cake stand, candy, nuts and fruit almost everywhere and cakes too numerous to be all cut at once, always two fruit cakes, my father's best liked many layered jelly cake, pound cake and a cream cake which was my brother's favorite. There was always company at dinner and in the evening all the X-mas holidays were spent either at someone else's home to a big dinner, or friends and relatives with us.
In January the snows piled high and so cold we did not see too much of our neighbors, tho one uncle managed to come on horseback no matter how deep the snow. His horse was taken by the darkey boy and stabled and fed, and I do remember one person who used to ride in with saddle bags on his saddle, but at times there was good skating on the ponds, and sled and sleigh rides. And in the warm sunny days in February we would hear the hens cackling in the chicken yard and would go out and get the nice fresh eggs.
The whistling winds of March were yet to come, but spring was on the way, and the little flowers began to pop up here and there in the yard. Before long the cherry, plum, peach and all the fruit trees were in bloom and soon another glorious summer had come.
