WARMACK, HARRY
Chaffee citizens were greatly shocked
last Thursday evening, October 9th, 1924, when the sad news
was received that Harry Warmack had died in St. Francis Hospital at Cape
Girardeau. Harry had been rushed to the hospital the afternoon of his
death suffering with a malady that local physicians had not been able to
diagnose.
Coming in off his run Friday, the 3rd
day of October, he was feeling sick, and laid off. On Monday, the 6th,
he reported for work, so much improved was his condition. However, he
soon afterwards laid off again, as his condition became worse. He again
was showing signs of improvement until last Thursday about 1 p.m. when
he was suddenly taken seriously ill. It was here that the dreaded spinal
meningitis got in its work, causing the deceased much pain, and making
it necessary for two or three persons to hold him in bed. Two local
physicians were immediately called, and after several hours with the
deceased thought it best to rush him to the hospital.
Harry had just passed his thirty second
birthday, having been born in Mills Shoals, Ill., July 10th,
1892.
Harry had been a resident of Chaffee for
seventeen years, being in the employ of the Frisco all of that time. His
first position was that of bill clerk in the local freight office under
the former Superintendent C. H. Claibourne, who at that time was the
freight agent. This was in June 1907 and Harry was fifteen years old.
From this position he transferred to the Mechanical Department as engine
dispatcher, holding this position but a short time, resigning to accept
a position on the road as a brakeman. It was in this department that he
was employed at the time of his death.
Besides his widow, he is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Lillie Warmack, a grandfather, J. A. Thackery, an uncle, J.
A. Thackery, an aunt, Mrs. Nessie Mitchell her son and daughter, a
cousin, Homer Endicott, all of this city, and an aunt, Mrs. Delilah
Endicott, and cousin, Miss Sibyl Endicott of St. Louis.
Funeral services were held at Union Park
Cemetery, being conducted by Rev. W. H. Margrave, pastor of local
Methodist Church, while the burial was in charge of the Odd Fellows
Lodge and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, of which the deceased was
a member.

WESSEL,
CLARENCE
Clarence Gus Wessel, 90,
of Chaffee passed away Sept. 18, 2005, at the Lutheran Home in Cape
Girardeau.
Clarence was born at
Dutchtown Aug. 2, 1915. He was the son of H.W.A. Wessel and Lily Fronie
M. Muster Wessel. He was one of 10 children, two brothers and seven
sisters. He was baptized and confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church where he
remained a member until moving to Chaffee in 1955, where he has been a
member of St. Paul Lutheran Church.
He married Charlotte
Sophia Gross Aug. 2, 1944, at Zion Lutheran Church in Gordonville.
Charlotte passed away July 1, 2002.
Clarence leaves a legacy
in Chaffee and surrounding area because of his involvement in church,
family, community, school, sports and especially working with youth.
Clarence was a Sunday
school teacher at St. Paul Lutheran Church for many years and served as
the Sunday school treasurer as well.
He was raised on the
family farm and attended Dutchtown School. He attended junior high
school at Gordonville. He was a graduate of Jackson High School where he
participated in football, basketball and track. He played halfback on
the undefeated 1935 Jackson Indian football team, and had a grandson,
Todd Wessel, who played on the 1997 undefeated team at Jackson.
He graduated from
Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau with a bachelor of
science degree, and a master's degree from the University of Missouri in
Columbia. He did graduate work at Southern Illinois University in
Carbondale.
He then worked at a small
arms plant in St. Louis during World War II. He began his teaching
career at Chaffee High School in 1943 where he taught junior high and
later took the industrial arts teaching position. It has been said often
that the determining factor for him pursuing industrial arts was because
Mr. Hilpert, his teacher at Gordonville, would send him outside to
whittle instead of whittling in class after finishing his homework
assignments so quickly.
Clarence left teaching in
1950 and worked construction until 1955 and then came back when Fred
Lewallen came to Chaffee. Clarence remained at Chaffee for 33 years of
which he was a coach for many years and high school principal for the
last 19 years until his retirement in 1981.
While teaching at
Chaffee, Clarence was a member of PTA, MSTA, MASP, and was sponsor of
several classes. He served on the park board and helped with the
management of the swimming pool and ballfield at Harmon Field. He was
recognized by Chaffee High School Alumni Association in 2000.
Clarence truly had a
passion for baseball. He began playing baseball at the age of 14 and
continued playing until the age of 55. He began playing with
neighborhood teams and continued playing semi-professional ball when it
was thriving in Southeast Missouri until he completed his last full
season of catching in 1974.
Some of the teams that
Clarence played on were the Gordonville Grays, Illmo Big Bucks, Sikeston
Stags, Keller Buddies, St. Louis Muny League, Sikeston Harts Bread, Cape
Capahas, Farmington Blues, Perry County League, Cape County League,
Bi-State League, Altenburg and Perryville teams, and then on the Chaffee
Red Wings.
Clarence was instrumental
in organizing the Little League and Babe Ruth summer baseball programs
in Chaffee. He assisted in getting baseball back into the high school
athletic program in this area. He umpired games in boys leagues, high
school, legion, independent and college teams from 1950 until the early
1980s.
He coached high school
baseball at Chaffee several years and served as manager of some Little
League and Babe Ruth teams when he took several teams to state
tournaments. Clarence's nickname "Gus" came about during his playing
baseball when he asked other players to call him by his middle name.
Clarence was inducted
into the SEMO Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame and was one of the original
board members where he served 14 years.
When Clarence was not
playing baseball or teaching school, his time was spent with his family.
His grandchildren were the focus of his life with many camping trips,
outdoor activities and Sunday drives. He enjoyed woodworking, hunting
and fishing. He was not only thought of as a great coach, teacher and
principal, but loved as a husband, father, grandfather, brother and
uncle.
Clarence is survived by
four sons and their families. Surviving children include Jack and Sue
Bond Wessel of rural Gordonville, Michael and Linda Cunningham Wessel of
rural Gordonville, Terry and Janet Spane Cook Wessel of Chaffee, and
Chris and Rhonda Glastetter Wessel of rural Gordonville.
Eight surviving
grandchildren include Greg and Kristin Wessel Farmer of Orlando,
Fla.,Todd Wessel of Orlando, Steven and Jill Graham Wessel of rural
Gordonville, Shawn and Jamie Wessel Nix of Chaffee, Teresa Dunning
Wessel of Cape Girardeau, Brad Wessel of rural Chaffee, Brent and Emma
Wessel of rural Gordonville; three great-grandchildren, MacKenzie
Dunning, Lilly Wessel and Andrew Nix; three stepgrandchildren, Alan Cook
and Lisa Seyer of Chaffee, Jill Versemann of New Wells; and six great-stepgrandchildren.
A sister, Louise Nussbaum of Cape Girardeau, also survives.
Clarence was preceded in
death by his wife, parents, two brothers and six sisters.
The funeral will be at 10
a.m. Wednesday at St. Paul Lutheran Church, with the Rev. Wayne
Schwiesow and the Rev. Karl Leeman officiating. Burial will be in Union
Park Cemetery.
Pallbearers include
Teresa Dunning, Steven Wessel, Brad Wessel, Kristin Farmer, Jamie Nix,
