  • Pearl-Harbor-Website
    Remembering Pearl Harbor This year marks the 79th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is estimated there are fewer than 20 survivors still alive in 2020. The attack killed 2,403 service members and wounded 1,178 more. Six U.S. ships were sunk. Additionally, 169 U.S. Navy and Army Air Corps planes were destroyed. Civilians were also in danger. There were 34 men* from St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County killed in action. Nineteen of them were on the USS Arizona. There were two from St. Charles County killed in action. In all, 64* men were killed from Missouri. On December 6, 1941 we know of six St. Charles County residents stationed at Pearl Harbor during the attack. It is likely there were more. They were: • Frederick W. Baue, USS Chew, Destroyer • Ray Bohnenkamp USS Schley, Destroyer • James Cregan, USS Argonne, Supply Ship • Noble Burnice Harris USS Arizona, Battleship • George McElfresh, USS Reigel, Destroyer Tender • Joseph Gillespie Smartt, USNR PBY Pilot, Kaneohe Station Sadly, two would not survive the attack. In all, about 34 St. Louisans were killed at Pearl Harbor. St. Charles County Survivors Tell Their Stories Frederick W. Baue of St Charles was born 14-OCT 1915. He served aboard the USS Chew, an old destroyer, docked near “battleship row” next to the USS Allen. As Fred recalled, “I was downstairs eating breakfast, I got up topside about 5 or 10 minutes after it started. The Oklahoma was already going down.” Fred, a torpedoman, said “You can’t shoot torpedoes at airplanes, so I wound up on a machine gun.

Over the years I have played at hundreds of veteran funerals and military celebrations, as well as Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrations as o! cial bugler. Today, I had the privilege of playing at a really big Veterans Day event at the New Smyrna Beach Brannon Center, with quite the number of political and military o! cials, and all branches of the military dating back to WWII. Today was a very special day, and when I saw these " ags, it reminded me of the hundreds of soldier funerals I had played for. # e Kiwanis Club put all of these " ags up to represent a soldier lost. Today I played taps as a tribute and in honor for those who gave their all, their very lives, for the freedom we have today. A tribute to the men I actually had known and didn’t know, that didn’t return from war, and for those that did return, also $ ghting for our freedom. # is is a day to remember, acknowledge and share gratitude for our sisters and brothers in arms who have given the ultimate sacri$ ce to ensure that tyranny and evil will never prevail. May we keep them and their loved ones close in our thoughts and prayers.

  • The Thomas Chew Family of Orange County and the Colonial Virginia Recessional
    Courses of Empire: The Thomas Chew Family of Orange County and the Colonial Virginia Recessional by Frederick Madison Smith, Secretary, NSMFD Despite the burgeoning prosperity of his young family in the emerging Virginia Piedmont, Ambrose Madison’s murder in the summer of 1732 left his widow Frances Tayl or Madison and his children in a somewhat precarious position legally and financially. Having divested himself of his holdings in the Ti dewater, Ambrose’s “Mount Pleasant” estate was his chief capital holding and income source. However, this planta tion, a joint patent to Ambrose and his brother-in-law Thomas Chew, husband of his wife’s younger and nearest- in-age sister Martha Taylor, had never been formally divided between them and, on Ambrose’s death, titl e to the 4,675 acre tract passed entirely to Chew. Whatever anxieties, if any, attended this legal fact for Frances Taylor Madison, they were resolved on May 26, 1737 when Chew deeded 2,850 acres of the original pa tent “to Frances Maddison, widow and James Maddison, son and heir of Ambrose Madison, deceased.” This deed, recorded in the Orange Coun ty Virginia Deed Book 2, pages 10-13, further recites that “Ambrose Maddison depart ed this life before any legal division of the land was made, by which the whole was vested in Thomas Chew as survivor.” Mirroring the provisions of Ambrose’s will, Chew’s deed gave Frances a life estate only with the ti tle passing unencumbered on her death to her son, James Madison Sr., the President’s father.
