[Note: Son of Charles Preston & Mary Elizabeth ( ) Mahnkey; married 1928 Merle Walker]
Born June 18, 1902, in Swan, Mo., Doug was the firstborn son of Mary Elizabeth and Charles Preston Mahnkey. He went to be with the Lord on Nov. 2, 2004. He passed away at the Forsyth Nursing and Rehab Center. He spent his youth in Kirbyville, Mincy and Hollister, and attended high school in Forsyth and the School of the Ozarks. While still a teenager, he qualified to become a school teacher by attending Southwest Missouri State Teachers College in 1920, and taught for several years at Bee Creek School near Kirbyville from 1921 to 1927. In 1928, he married Merle Walker and later had three children, Pat, Mary Jo and Bill. After completing a correspondence course from La Salle Correspondence School in Chicago, he was the last person to pass the Missouri bar exam without attending formal law school. For over 60 years, Doug practiced law throughout the state of Missouri. He was elected County Clerk in Taney County in 1926, in which capacity he served until his election to the Missouri House of Representatives in 1934. He left after one term to serve one term as Taney County Prosecuting Attorney, 1937-1939. In 1945, he returned to the Missouri House, where he served three more terms. After leaving the legislature for the final time, he maintained a private law office in Forsyth and Branson until 1997. One of the highlights of Doug's term in the state legislature was meeting President Truman in Fulton, Mo., for the famous Iron Curtain Speech in 1945. In the late 1940s and early 50s, Doug played an instrumental role in moving the town of Old Forsyth from its original location, which became a flood area due to the construction of Bull Shoals Dam, to its present location. In the 1950s, the Mahnkey family built and owned a 10 unit motel in Forsyth to cater to the growing tourist industry. Doug also served as the City Attorney of Forsyth. In later years, Doug became a noted local and regional historian. He published two books, "Bright Glowed My Hills," and "Hill and Holler Stories," and wrote extensively about the Ozarks and its native people. His work appeared in The Ozark Mountaineer over several decades. He was a renowned storyteller and was known as one of the last "Old Time Storytellers." An avid hunter and fisherman, Doug enjoyed the outdoors and always had a prolific vegetable garden. He spent many hours on the rivers and streams fishing, camping and floating with his family. A lifelong Cardinals fan, he spent many summers coaching Little League baseball. Douglas is survived by one son, William "Bill" Mahnkey of Forsyth; one daughter, Mary Jo Kirkey and husband Richard of Rogersville; grandchildren William Douglas Mahnkey and wife Meredith of Springfield, Elizabeth Turner and husband Grant of Forsyth, Matthew Kirkey and wife Debbie of Ozark, and Julie Fox of Springfield; great grandchildren Tyler, Trevor, Christopher and Margaret.

Fishing Trip Fatal for Joe R. Major
Well Known Cheese Manufacturer Died in waters of Bull Shoals Lake.
The entire Ozark community was stunned beyond belief last Friday evening by news of the tragic death of Joe Major, 44, owner of the Major Cheese Company and one of Ozark’s most enterprising and prominent citizens. His death occurred about 6:15 that evening in the waters of Bull Shoals Lake, southeast of Forsyth, where he and John Pile, editor of this newspaper, had spent the afternoon fishing. Location of the tragedy was what is known as the Hayworth Hole, about two miles up the lake from the Beaver Creek Boat Dock at the mouth of Beaver where the trip originated. About 6:15 p.m. after a successful afternoon trolling, the two men decided to try casting.. Pile had been running the outboard motor and it was decided he should cast from the front of the boat while Major ran the motor. The two men met at the center of the boat and passed each other face to face. Pile preceded to the front of the boat and Major to the rear. While their backs were to each other, Major fell from the boat. Pile was immediately aware that Major had fallen into the water, and he hurried to the motor and spun the boat back to where Major had fallen as indicated by his cap floating on the water. When Major failed to surface after a few seconds, Pile dived in to the lake after him, but his efforts to locate him were futile. Pile swam to the boat which had drifted several feet away in the light breeze that was blowing and returned to the boat dock. A trip to Forsyth was made immediately by Paul Fredericks, Springfield contractor, who notified Taney County authorities and called Ozark to give word of the tragedy. Rube Meadows, veteran Branson riverman, who is famous for his work recovering bodies from the water and his son, Chris Meadows, also of Branson, were summoned and they arrived at the boat dock with their equipment about eight o’clock. Assisting in the search were Mr. and Mrs. John Slack of Springfield and Pile. At 2:30 Saturday morning, a thick blanket of fog covered the lake, making it impossible to continue the search. Work was to begin at daylight the next morning, but fog continued to delay operations until seven o’clock. The searching party was augmented by Sheriff Theron Gideon of Taney County, Scotty Atkins of the State Conservation Department, Bill Bilyeu, Ross Vaughan, Gene Sellars, and Russell Grubaugh, all of Ozark. A fishing plug attached to Major’s line at the time he fell from the boat was brought to the surface by the boat occupied by Sheriff Gideon, Atkins and Vaughan. A short time later, Vaughan contacted the body with a grappling hook and it was raised to the surface at 9:07 a.m., almost exactly 15 hours after the mishap. Water at the point of recovery was approximately seven to eight feet deep. Major was still tightly clutching his rod and reel. This fact, the position of his body and the fact that he was a capable swimmer leads to the belief that he suffered a heart attack just as he reached the rear of the boat.
______________
The career of Joe Major will always remain a bright and shining light in the history of Ozark and surrounding community. We watched Joe during the early struggle for security when he dumped all the milk and weighed and tested, made the cheese, then finished the day with hours of laborious work over his books. His progress was steady and inevitable. His opinion was candidly given but never inflicted. Joe Major found time to play a vital role in the civic functions of the community,. He was the first president of the Ozark Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Ozark Board of Education and immediate past president and long-time member of the Ozark Lions Club. We derive great satisfaction in being allowed to report that the Major Cheese Company will be an integral part of the Ozark community for long years to come. As Joe had planned and dreamed, his son, cast in the same mold as the father, has assumed active management of the operation. He, along with a fine group of loyal and capable employees with whom Joe had surrounded himself, will continue to operate the Business as usual. We think we speak for the entire community when we pledge to Joe L. Majors and Mrs. Joe R. Major his mother, the same respect and patronage the business enjoyed under the direction of Joe R. Major, their father and husband.

Mallonee, Enoch Andrews 11 Feb 1871 - 28 Jun 1935
[Note: Son of Thomas W. & Nancy E. (Morrison) Mallonee; married Margaret Hale]
Funeral services for Enoch Andrews Mallonee, 63-year-old boilermaker whose body was found east of the city yesterday after he had apparently committed suicide, will be held at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon in the Herman H. Lohmeyer Chapel. The Reverend Robert Baker will officiate. The body was lying face downward in a small stream, three bullet holes in the chest apparently self-inflicted. The body was lashed to a wire fence in an evident attempt to make sure it would soon be found. Tuesday was the second anniversary of Mallonee’s daughter’s death. Grief was blamed for his act. He had been deeply affected by the death, and had often visited the grave of the daughter, Mrs. Jewell Hooper, who for years was a clerk at the Union National Bank. The Frisco workman left his home at 1024 East Division Street to go to work at the north shops Thursday. That was the last time Mrs. Mallonee saw him. His body was found by three boys who walked northward on the rocky lane off East Mill Street road about a half-mile east of the city to pick blackberries. Mrs. Mallonee reported the disappearance of her husband to police yesterday morning and said she feared, “the worst had come,” but the news of the suicide seemed a terrible shock to her. She declared she had become alarmed at her husband’s despondency about a week ago. Sunday, at the home of his son, Roy Mallonee, of near Sparta, he had talked of “life after death.” Survivors besides his wife and son are five brothers, John, Sebetha, Kan., Charles, Highlandville, Joe, Springfield, Ed, of California, and Conrad of Crane; three sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Burman, Springfield, Mrs. Emma Little, Springfield and Mrs. Clemma Frazier, Clever; and two grandchildren. Mr. Mallonee was a member of the Modern Woodmen, the Knights of Pythias and the Methodist Church. Mr. Mallonee tried to borrow a pistol from Detective Riley Bolerjack about a week ago, the detective disclosed last night. He said he wanted it to take with him on a fishing trip in the Gasconade country. “I saw that he was worried about something,” Bolerjack said, “and I told him I didn’t have a gun I could loan him. He then wanted me to help him find one but I told him I didn’t know who to ask. I talked to him a long time and tried to find out what was in his mind. I told him I thought he was up to something desperate but he denied it. I insisted on his telling me who he had trouble with, but he repeated that he wanted the gun to take with him on a trip.” He promised the detective he would come back and talk with him the following day, but he never came. And Bolerjack forgot the incident until he learned of the suicide. Mrs. Mallonee said yesterday she didn’t know where he got the gun with which he killed himself.

"Another Civil War Veteran Dead---A letter from Mrs. T.W. Mallonee announces the death of her husband, 86, at their home in Clever, Missouri, July 23, 1931. Mr. & Mrs. Mallonee were formerly of Blount County. Thomas W. Mallonee, Andrew Goddard, Billy Whetsell and H.T. Clemens enlisted in Co. H. 13th Tenn. Cav., in October, 1863. We were in Knoxville during the time of the siege. It is hard to think of "Queenly Knoxville" ever having the distress it had during time of the siege. There was a pontoon bridge across the river. On the south side of the river near the bridge were acres literally covered with dead horses and mules. After the siege we footed it to Camp Nelson, Kentucky. From there we went by train to Nashville. We were mounted and equipped. During the summer of 1864 we came to East Tennessee. Late in the summer we were camped several weeks at Bulls Gap. One Saturday night we marched all night. On a by-road to Greeneville, we surprised and killed the raider, Gen. John H. Morgan. Andy Campbell of Capt. Wilcox, Co. G. 13th Tenn. Cav., killed the raider. The 13th Tenn. Cav. was on the famous raid, and within a few hours of the capture of Jefferson Davis. The last camp of the 13th was at Sweetwater, Tenn. T.W. Mallonee and the writer were discharged at Knoxville, Sept. 5, 1865.
Sixty-three years ago T.W. Mallonee and Nancy Morrison were married at the home of her mother, Mrs. Tilda Gibson, by Mrs. Gibson's brother, Esq. James Waters.
