Both F M and S E McDaniel were members of The Pioneer Club formed Dec 14, 1878 which comprised of people who were in Jasper county prior to Jan 1865 and Carthage prior to 1968. A nice write up is published on pages 201 & 202 in 'The Biographical Record of Jasper County, Missouri', by Malcolm G McGregor, however in checking his work, ~ ~ its found Francis' parents death dates are incorrect which places a cloud of doubt over this article. It however says; Francis came to Missouri in 1841, after marriage in 1859 in Greene county (married twice), during war bought horses for the Union, moved to Carthage 1865, had a 328 acre farm with horses, cattle & hogs, sold one Mill then built another. I find Ward Schrantz's research is more accurate and believable. It is written by some that during the later part of the Civil War Francis' older married brother Alford (1828NC-1851MO?) and sister's husband, Napoleon Bonaparte Morrow (1825TN-1861MO?) were killed by bushwackers. Their identical replacement headstones in Richwood cemetery of Christian county, Missouri have death date of 1861. Francis later had his sister's 1st born, Samuel Oscar Morrow (1854-1934) working with him at the mill who later inherited it, Mill was later known as Morrow Mill after Sam's son Samuel Roy Morrow moved his family back to Carthage and folded in with his father at the mill. That known as Morrow Mill (see archival photo) following World War II was, according to article of 1955 in Carthage Press by Ward L Schrantz, first built on left bank of Spring river in 1848, about two and one half miles upstream from what became Carthage, Jasper county, Missouri by Washington Woodrum when he built a dam across the river with a mill trace on left bank. Indians would trade for finished product, camping near by, feeding off of neighbors crops and livestock, to farmers displeasure. Many others having later ownership, such as a Mr Johnson in 1860 and operated by Thomas Glass early part of Civil War, serving both confederate and union troops. When it burnt, a new structure was built on old foundation. During reconstruction era it became McDaniel Mill, operated by childless Francis Marion McDaniel with nephew Samuel Oscar Morrow later known as Morrow Mill until sold in 1976, closed in 1978 and burnt, except for concrete elevators, in 1981.
