Author:   Malinda Clevenger
Text:   Letter Written by Malinda Clevenger, daughter of Andrew Benton Clevenger in 1946. The following is a summary of the letter.
  She talked about living in Polka Hunters, Arkansas (Pocahontas, Arkansas?)
 Mr. Odell's family consisted of:
 Sarah Jane's mother Sarah Jane's older brother Sarah Jane 2 younger sisters (6 or 7 at time of death of parents judging by the dresses)
 1 younger brother Mr. Odell died there (Pocahuntas?)
 2 younger sisters died
 Sarah Jane's mother died
 It was an unhealthy location
 Older brother put Sarah Jane to live with one place and others to live in another
 Older brother solde the property, took the money and was never heard of again.
 Family wan't good with Sarah's little brother.
 Sarah worked, got some of her mother's things, took her littlebrother.
 Little brother died.
 Sarah had lots of fevers and chills; took calomel; effected her mouth. (may explain why she gave her mothers name as McDoodle or McDowdle instead of McDonald?)
  Sarah married a widow woman's son when she was 17 or 18 years old. Her husband already had two grown daughters that fused at him. He left Sarah. When he wrote that he was coming home, Sarah got on a train and went to Springfield, Missouri.
 Hired out as a cook in a hotel.
 Moved to Pottersville, Missouri.
 Worked for Mrs. Lando peas, folks that ran a flower/saw mill in pine timeber 25 miles east of where Andrew Benton Clevenger worked. Worked as a cook.
 Clevenger's lived 7 miles west of Pottersville on the north fork of the white river.
 Stayed with friends that had her cow. This place was 5 miles further on from where the Clevenger's lived.
 Winter of 1884 came by the Clevenger home looking to be ferried across the river.
 Andrew Benton Clevenger and Sarah Jane Odell got married.
 Clevengers moved to a mill where they had acontract to get the logs to the mill and ran a boarding house.

Notes
a. Note:   HI542
Note:   (Research):
 Here are some thoughts:
  24 August 1854 Marriage of Martin Odell and Mary McDonald in Moniteau County, Missouri
 1859 Martin buys land in Miller Co
 betweem 1854 and 1861, Martin and Martin have 3 children (Including Sarah Jane Odell)
 Sept 1861 Martin joins the Conferate army in Pocahontas, Ark and dies in Jan 1862 in Pocahontas, Ark leaving a widow and 3 children.
 Mary McDonald, widow marries Richard Whitney in Arkansas. They have one child then move to Moniteau, Missouri where a 2nd child is born
 1869 Mary's father, Samuel McDonald dies and Mary Whitney is mentioned in the Probate.
 Before 1873. Mary and Richard both died of disease leaving a 14 to 17 yr old Sarah, her two siblings and two half brother and sister. The brother leaves or dies along with the two youngest children.
 abt 1875 Sarah Jane Odell married Mr. Casey and went to live with he an his two grown daughters.
 Mr Casey left Sarah.
 abt 1877 When Mr. Casey wrote he was coming back, Sarah fled. She went by train to Springfield then Pottersville Missouri and worked for Mrs. Landopeas near a flour mill.
 13 March 1884 Married Andrew Benton Clevenger in Ozark County, Missouri. Marriage license reads: "A. B. Clevenger of Dora, County of Ozark and state of Missouri who is over the age of twenty-one years and Sarah Jane Casey of Ambrose in the county of Ozark and state of Missouri, who is over the age of eighteen.
 1885 Son Edward born
 29 Apr 1894 Gertrude Luveda Clevenger born
 4 May 1900 Joined the Church at Witt Springs, Searcy, Ark.
 17 Oct 1902 Died at Overton, Nevada.
  I believe that Martin is the 14 or 16 year old boy, Martin, in the home of John and Jane Odle, living in Moniteau County, Missouri. We found him on no other census. We did find a marriage record of Martin Odle and Mary McDonald in Moniteau. County.
  Malinda Clevenger's letter was writen so long after the events told about. Ruth Maxine Cooper wrote: "You will be interested to know that in the 1880 census of Ozark County I found several Collins families. I found Mrs. "Land=O=Peas", "where we bought our good flour." It was "Landon P. Janney, Miller" of Bridges Township, E.D. 109, page 8. film# 1254707.
 Landon P. Janney with wife Margaret A. , sons George and William and daughters Belle and Alice and 4 employees must have had a pretty good mill there. I am convinced that Martin D. Odell's father WAS John Odell/Odle. But I am not convinced that his birth mother was Jane or Jinny:
  a. The 1850 listing of the John Odle family in 1850 lists John as married in the year. If the mark was put in the married in the year column correctly, that would mean that John and Jane Odle were recently married and probably all the children were not born to both of them.
  b. The children listed in the 1850 census could all be John's OR they could be a blended family of children. They are all listed with the last name of Odle. At first, I thought they were from different mothers because John Odle, 10, and Jane Odle, 10, are listed as being born in different states (John in Indiana-dittoed from sibling above him, and Jane born in Mo.) However, later censuses list John C. Odle (younger John) as born in Missouri not Indiana.
  4. My opinion at the moment is that all the children listed in the 1850 census are probably John Odle's. John Odell/Odle was probably married three times:
 a. First to the mother of Martin D. Odell (our ancestor). They were prob. married in Indiana (where Martin was born). At some point John Odle moved to Missouri.
 b. Second, John married Jane (b. 1806 - 44 in 1850, born in Tenn). Jane is listed with John Odle in the 1850 census of Moniteau Co., Mo. She is probably also the Jinny listed as his wife in the land records given above." Ruth Maxine Cooper

 Note by Wallace Haws: Oct 2010
 It is my opinion we have now found what happened to Martin and Mary; that Mary's father is Samuel Mcdonald and Martin's mother is Jane Conway. I do not believe there is a George Odell (Brother of Mary).
