Anna Sallee
Anna Hayes Sallee, daughter of John T. and Elizabeth (Cassity) Hayes, was born February 19, 1868 and died July 29, 1950 at the age of 82 years, 5 months and 10 days.
In early girlhood she united with the Christian Church at Antioch during the ministry of Elder Dodge Jessee and she remained true to her faith all through her long and busy life.
On January 2, 1898 she was married to J.W. Sallee, who survived her. She lived her entire married life in the community of her birthplace near Shafter, Mo., having lived at her present home for nearly 50 years.
She was kindly and industrious, devoted to her community and friends. She loved her home, and all the children of the neighborhood knew and loved “Aunt Annie.”
She was of a family of five, only one of whom, Mrs. Mary Malloy, yet lives. She leaves her devoted husband, one sister, Mrs. Mary Malloy, and a number of nieces and nephews, besides a host of friends; and will be sadly missed by all who knew here.
Service held Monday, July 31, 1950, 2:00 p.m. at the Mt. Olive Church, conducted by the Rev. Mrs. Charles Christy. The Todd Quartette sand “Father Along” and “Precious Memories” accompanied by Mrs. J.M. Robertson.

Notes:
Mr. John Hayes, was born in the state of Indiana, August 15, 1835. When about five years of age, with her parents, he emigrated westward, settling in Iowa, where they remained until 1857, when the family came to Missouri, settling upon the farm on which his death occurred Saturday, May 31. In 1859 Mr. Hayes was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Casida and to this union were born five children, Jim, Tom, George, Mrs. J.W. Sallee and Mrs. J.D. Molloy, who with their mother survive. When the days of the rebellion came on he became a soldier and served under the stars and stripes for three years, being honorably discharged at the end of the war. In the passing of Mr. Hayes this community has lost one of its very earliest settlers – one who has witnessed this wild timber and prairie country blossom under the cultivation of the emigrant.
Funeral services were conducted at Mt. Olive, Sunday afternoon by Rev. J.W. Drinkard. Members of the Antioch Christian church of which deceased had been a member for many years, assisted with the music and the body was interred in the Mt. Olive cemetery.

MHR note: Parents are Robert Armstrong and Mary Russell.
LKH note: I have not yet found documentation for Robert and Mary (Russell) Armstrong).
MHR note: Letter from Ida Cronkhite dated 17 May 1951.
Family legend: Mary Russell. A young Irishman named Russell, married a young widow with a small daughter. After Russell had fathered three sons and a daughter, he decided to go to America. his step-daughter would receive a small inheritance at 18. There were still some months to go. So he went on, with the three sons, and the wife and the two daughters would follow. This was the days of sailing ships, three months to cross, three months for a letter to come back. The letter came from Chillicothe, Ohio.
The inheritance was duly paid in gold. Then Mrs. Russell and her two daughters started to join her husband. This would perhaps bring the time to three years, and don't ask any more details, for that is all I have. On board, the oldest died at sea ad was buried at sea. And when Mrs. Russell and her daughter, Mary got to Chillicothe, Ohio she was told her husband was long dead and the three sons "bound out". Two had been taken farther into the wild west (Indiana?) but she found the youngest and tried to buy him back. His guardian refused to let him go. So she stole him and left gold to pay for his time and the all three went away from there.
Mary Russell was one of the girls who helped go to the spring till they filled all available vessels in case the Indians attacked. And Rebecca (Anderson) Maxwell Crawford helped. Mary Russell married Isaac Armstrong. When Mary (Armstrong) Cassity met Elizabeth (Crawford) Vawter at the home of P. T. Hedges in Fleming County, Kentucky to view their great-grandson, T.A. [Thaddeus A. Hedges], they told what each had heard of that time, from their mothers. Zane Grey used it in a novel. I don't know where the fort was.
The family ghost story. Isaac Armstrong's (it could have been Robert Isaac Armstrong, probably Robert Armstrong) were making up the maple syrup. There was much work, and it called for many hands. There was no beet or cane sugar in those days. Elder berry bushes furnished spouts to carry the sap, after they were cut in suitable lengths and the pith pushed out. They had a pot, many buckets, so they chopped logs about two feet long, split in half and with hatchet and fire they made a trough to set under the spout. Every morn they collected the sap from the trees and carried it to the kettle (or the kettles, if they had more than one) and boiled till it was "just right" for syrup or sugar. This lasted a week or ten days, till the leaf buds swelled, to spoil the flavor. So all hands helped. Mary Armstrong and her brothers (Robert Armstrong and James Armstrong) and cousins, Isabell and George Steele, from 20 miles away, and those who lived near. Today was the last day, and the boys said tonight would be rainy, dark of the moon, and they hadn't had a coon hunt yet. The sap was all in, and plenty of wood, and Polly and Ibby could finish the boiling for they were going hunting, for tomorrow they would all go home. When the syrup was finally done, it was dark, and half a mile from the house through the woods. Indians didn't trouble much any more, and bears and panthers not often. Polly picked up a stout stick and assured Ibby there was nothing to fear. Presently they heard a groan and saw a white "something" beside the path. Ibby said, "let's go" . Polly said it might be a sick horse. Ibby fled toward the house, but Polly drew near. Again the strange groan and a flounder. Polly said "Be you devil or what you may, I'll give you one lick" and struck with all her strength and fled. Next morn the boys were cross, and did not seem to have anything to report from the coon hunt and scattered home. A year later they again assemble. "Bob" (either a cousin or brother) asked Polly to cut his hair. She asked "how come that scar on your head?" "If you won't get mad, I'll tell you". He had been the ghost. "And you almost killed me".
This was my great-grandmother Polly [Mary] Armstrong (b.10 Feb 1779, Virginia; d.29 Sept. 1860, Rowan County, Kentucky) married Peter Thompson Cassity (b. 19 June 1775, Virginia; d.12 May 1862, Rowan County, Kentucky. Her brothers were James Armstrong (b.1758, d.1830) and Robert Armstrong.
MHR note:
James Armstrong was the brother of Polly who married Peter Thompson Cassity who is our ancestor. He is buried in 3 Lick Cemetery, on a hill near the old log house of William Ribelin Hedges, and I saw his stone when there the first time but he had died so much earlier than Polly that I didn't recognize the possibility of his being her brother, and didn't copy the inscription, and when I went back the next time, the stone had disappeared, but the people next door denied all knowledge of having anything to do with its removal, tho I think they had removed it to plant tobacco there.
