Nellie Trammell Davis had told the following family history. When she was 12 the family left Harrison County and went to South MO. Hattie was married and Walker was living in Kansas. The family traveled by two covered wagons. They tried to trade some of their horses for land along the way. Trouble and sickness hit so they were a long time on the road. They stopped at the MO River valley there were no bridges so they had to cross on flat boats, they were linked together so that they could cross. The boats bounced up and down as they were crossing. Maggie got sick so they had to stop and rent a house for a month. When they were back on the trail she got sick again so they moved in with a family for another month. They sent for Walker since they did not think Maggie would live. When she was better they were back on the trail and Walker went back to Kansas. After they left there they stayed at a widow woman's home for a week. She lived in a big log cabin. In those days instead of having signs there were hacks/blazes on the trees showing directions. Pa told the kids to look for hacks. Back home buggies were called hacks so the kids were looking for buggies. One morning they passed a rail fence there was a pot hanging in the corner of the fence. They got lost and traveled all day. Hills were steep and rocks were rolling down behind them. They thought they were traveling on a road but it was where rail road ties had been hauled. Tied behind one of the wagons was a beautiful dapple gray stallion valuable horse. He saved the wagon from turning over by running to the upper side. Late that evening they ended up where they had saw the pot hanging on the rail fence early that morning. Pa was really mad. He says "God Dam it Vinnie there is that pot." Pa got sick and went to Humansville to see a dr. He had the hiccups for several days. The family camped in the river valley while he was away close to Collins. Some horse thief's were hanging around the camp. A older couple invited the family and their horses to their home for safety. When Pa came back the family was on the road again. They got wood and water supplies and started out. They had gotten wood rails for firewood and tied them to the back of the wagon dragging them on the ground. When Pa was not looking the kids got on them and rode them. The horses were getting tired and Pa did not know why, until they passed a country school and the children were laughing. Then he saw the kids on the rails. He sure made them scat. Along in the night they came to a branch. They got water to fix supper. They next morning Ma noticed tadpoles in the boiled potatoes. The family eventually ended up in Douglas County. They rented a farm in South MO Ozarks. They had beds made out of straw and slept on the floor. Pa planted corn in the rocky soil and took a single shovel pulled by horses to make the rows. He took a flat rock around a chain and drug it to cover the corn. A circus came past the field and the elephant was pulling up the corn. They left in the fall and started the long journey home. When the family got to Springfield, Pa left for Oklahoma territory to break sod. He took all the horses except for one team. Ma, Nellie, Hank, and Al took the other team and started back to Bethany. Maggie had gone back to Bethany from Springfield. This time they crossed the MO River on a steam boat. Taking the same trail back that they had went down on. Pa sent for Hank to join him so went. The family lived by the Norborn School House where they lived before. Pa and Hank came home from breaking sod. I started school , but I was so far behind I did not like to go so quit school. I went to the 5th grade. After I quit Pa and Hank came back. Pa did not stay long until he went to St. Joseph to work on the rail road, where the Union Depoe is now. There were paper shacks and tents Pa boarded with some people there. We took both teams I drove one and Pa the other. I stayed a week in St. Joseph then came back on the train. The family lived in the Washington Center area close to the Logsdon Cemetery.
