Modeling Epidemic Dysentery in a Civil War Prison Camp TO DIE SO FAR FROM DIXIE: MODELING EPIDEMIC DYSENTERY IN A CIVIL WAR PRISON CAMP _______________________________________ A Dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________________ by REBECCA SHATTUCK LANDER Dr. Lisa Sattenspiel, Dissertation Supervisor DECEMBER 2015 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled TO DIE SO FAR FROM DIXIE: MODELING EPIDEMIC DYSENTERY IN A CIVIL WAR PRISON CAMP presented by Rebecca Shattuck Lander, a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor Lisa Sattenspiel Professor Gregory Blomquist Professor Mary Shenk Professor Allison Kabel ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research would never have become successful without the aid and support of many friends, family, and colleagues over the years. My advisor, mentor, and friend, Dr. Lisa Sattenspiel, played perhaps the greatest role in helping me to conceptualize, plan, and execute this project. I deeply appreciate her ongoing support and encouragement through the research and writing process. My thanks also go to my dissertation committee members, Dr. Gregory Blomquist, Dr. Allison Kabel, and Dr. Mary Shenk for their patience, time, and helpful critiques. Additionally, I am grateful to Debbie Allen and Dr. Mark Hannink, and the MU Life Sciences Fellowship Program, for providing me with outstanding funding and research opportunities during my first four years – without the financial support provided by the program, I could never have been as successful in my research. I would also like to express my appreciation to Erin Miller and Jessica Dimka for their insight and help during the model development process. Finally, my love and thanks to family and friends who have been supportive through the whole stretch of my doctoral education: my compatriots in the Department of Anthropology, especially Liz McCarthy, Rachel Munds, and Shilo Bender; my parents, Chuck and Marilyn Shattuck; my sister, Titina; and my loving husband Sean. This is for you. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................................ ii TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Americans Celebrate with Food, Whether New Year's Eve, the 4Th Of
    Corn-Pork-Beef-Wheat Evening Presentation Iowa State University Ames, Iowa Americans celebrate with food, whether New Year’s eve, the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, or a host of local or regional, secular and religious festivities. American food has evolved and diversified through the centuries, from the simple, sustaining dishes of Colonial times to the complex food combinations that characterize the new millennium. Behind each food lies a history of use at different times at different geographical regions of America. Today, my objective is to briefly explore four of these foods: corn and pork; beef and wheat. And I begin with corn. Some call it maize, others call it corn. Regardless of name it is the same food, Zea mais. The word maize comes from the Taino language, spoken by the Arawaks, a Caribbean Native American nation, who greeted Columbus in 1492. The word maize subsequently transferred to Spanish, and entered other European languages as well. The alternative word, corn, originally spelled corne, is an Old English generic term for grain, whose meaning subsequently shifted to designate wheat. American-style English, however, continues to use the word corn in the sense of maize, usage that has continued into the 21st century. Maize was domesticated and first cultivated in the central valley of Mexico, perhaps 6,000 years ago, and ultimately became the primary dietary staple throughout Mesoamerica. Cultural exchange and trade gradually brought maize and other Mesoamerican crops northward into the geographical region now defined by the United States, where the grain was adopted in the semi- arid lands of the American southwest about 1,000 years ago, and about 800 years ago in the eastern seaboard region of North America.

  • Genealogy of the New Jersey Rolls Which Was Prepared by Martha Roll of Hollow Rock, TN, and Thelma Lynn Roll of Huntington, IN
    GENEALOGY of the NEW JERSEY ROLLS Presented to the HISTORICAL TRAILS SOCIETY PINE GROVE, KENTUCKY by MRS. CHARLES (MARTHA) ROLL R.R. BOX 501 HOLLOW ROCK, TENNESSEE 38342 and THELMA LYNN (ROLL) KENNEDY 1835 DEAN STREET HUNTINGTON, INDIANA 46750 APRIL 16, 1984 1 INTRODUCTION This genealogy was prepared primarily from data contained in The Genealogy of the New Jersey Rolls which was prepared by Martha Roll of Hollow Rock, TN, and Thelma Lynn Roll of Huntington, IN. The copy I worked from was dated 1984 and had been presented to the Ancestral Trails Historical Society in Vine Grove, KY, and later given to the North Hardin Library in Radcliff, KY, and has since disappeared. The title page of the volume is reproduced on the next page. I appreciate the work put into this genealogy, and have made every effort to keep the data as accurate as possible. In some cases, this has meant making changes to or adding data to the material prepared by Martha and Thelma. Use the index to find the name of the person you are interested in. Each person will normally be listed twice, once as a child, and once as a parent. The notable exception to this general rule is in the case of common names such as John Roll. In this case, and a few others, you will find numerous page numbers listed, and will have to check each one to find the person you are interested in. Once you have found the person you are interested in, you may trace his/her ancestry the checking the “Continued from” line at the top center of the page, and tracing the family line backwards by referring to the appropriate family charts.

  • Benjamin Thompson, an Early Settler of Penfield, N.Y. Benjamin Thompson Likely Moved to the Town of Northfield, Ontario County
    Benjamin Thompson, An Early Settler of Penfield, N.Y. By: Jane Thompson Kuitems Benjamin Thompson likely moved to the town of Northfield, Ontario County, New York, (later Boyle and now named Penfield) 1from Vermont in the spring of 1805.2 His family was one of several early “Thompson” families who settled in Penfield. 3 It appears that his eleven children moved from Vermont with him although how long some of them stayed in Penfield before moving on west, is unknown. Benjamin and his sons purchased portions of lots 2,3,4. 4 Many of the deeds were not recorded for years, so the exact timing of the early purchases is not always clear. These lots were located in the southeasterly part of town. 5 Two Thompson homes were built on the corners of what was then Smith Road (now Gloria Drive) and Route 441 near Lovetts Corner. 6 Benjamin’s ancestors were early settlers in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. His line can be traced to David Thomson of Thomson’s Island in Boston Harbor. His paternal grandfather for whom he was named lived in Worcester County, Massachusetts near the Rhode Island border. He was one of the original proprietors in Cheshire County, N.H. in the area of Swanzey. Although grandfather Benjamin owned land in New Hampshire he does not appear to have lived there, however five of his sons, including Benjamin’s father moved to Swanzey, N.H. 7 Benjamin’s father Samuel Thompson (1733-1808) was married twice. He had one known son by his first marriage.8 His first wife likely died shortly after the birth of that child for Samuel remarried in 1761 Rhoda Smith.9 Rhoda and Samuel became the parents of eleven children with Benjamin being the eldest.

  • Chilton Historical Mural
    CHILTON HISTORICAL MURAL The imagery in the Chilton mural spans 75 yrs. from 1840 through 1915 and is portrayed in a ‘hand-tinted’ image. This style of imagery was a popular technique of the era bringing color into the monochromatic imagery of the day. Sitting firmly on the Manitowoc, Chilton’s matriarch, Catherine Stanton can be seen prominently positioned in front of the former State Street bridge. Just beyond the ironclad bridge you can see a suggestion of a fading grist mill that the Stanton’s erected and was fundamental in Chilton’s early development during the time. Catherine is flanked on her right by members of a Ho-Chunk family, each of which have tribal beads and patterns embedded into their clothing. Catherine's image is a hybrid of two different photos of her and she adorns a working-class dress of the era. Mrs. Stanton is flanked on her left by both Civil War veterans Harrison Hobart and George Breed. Both men were fundamental toward Chilton’s continued growth and prosperity after their Civil War military service concluded. Former Hotel Chilton and St. Mary’s parish stand as iconic backdrops for a section of the Chilton boys homecoming from the Great War. On the far right of the wall, an architectural sketch of the Malt House sits directly above Breeds shoulder. The central visuals are different tributes toward agriculture, each has a different emphasis but are all centrally positioned in their importance. In these options you will find two local women raking hay, and a group of farmers appear to be delighted by their new John Deere tractor.
