Note: 1. Copied from page 341 of the 1883 History of Boone County, Mo. "On Tuesday morning, April 14, 1843, Raney LaForce, a citizen of the county was accidentally shot and killed by Phelix Callaham. They were hunting wild turkeys together eight or ten miles northeast of Columbia; and having separated in the chase of a flock, Callaham, thinking he saw game in a thicket before him, discharged his rifle at them. Unfortunately, LaForce was upon the other side of the thicket immediately in the direction of Callaham's aim. At the discharge of the gun La Force fell and died in a few minutes -- the ball havng entered his chest. LaForce was a man of family." 2. Was listed (1846) as a private in the volunteer Missouri Militia, 12th Division. This unit was never put in service. 3. On 12 Dec 1848 Felix sold his 1/4 share of inheritance (his father's farm) to his brother Arthur for $250. 4. Found a Felix Callaghan in the 1850 census of Mariposa county, CA: "Callihan, Felix 24 VA (occupation miner)" This Felix Callihan was born about 1826 and Felix Callaghan was born in 1827. These two could be the same person. 5. Did not see his name in the 1860 Mariposa, CA census--or any other CA county.
