On the one hand, you want to thank individuals who helped the project to completion. On the other hand, you constantly worry that someone will get left out. Needless to say, in writing the acknowledgement, one realizes just how many people contributed to the overall project. While the author receives the attention, those who worked behind the scenes deserve recognition. But before I dispense with the long list of thank you’s, I want to thank you, the reader, for finding this work. It is my hope that the story interwoven in the following pages will not end at the conclusion of this project, but will go forth to aid countless other projects that tackle difficult historical topics.

MY PARENTAGE. I trust my readers will not think me egotistical if I first mention my parentage, also a short sketch of my life work of 70 years at Midway Place, where I now live. My father, Luke Williams, and my mother, Louisa Beatty, were natives of Kentucky and came to Mis- souri early in the 19th century. They were married in Cooper County, at Boonville, Mo. They moved to Van Buren County, now Cass County, Mo., to where my first memory goes back—and removed to "Midway Place" April 30th, 1842, which I have ever since called my home. Luke Williams is a family name reaching back as far as we can trace our family—and the Baptist re- ligious faith is a heritage we claim to trace to the his- toric "Roger Williams." We claim to be lineal descend- ants of Roger Williams.

I also wish to express sincere gratitude to the members of my committee, Dr. Deke Johnson and Dr. Kenneth H. McKinley, both of the Educational Administration and Higher Education Department, and Dr. James M. Smallwood of the Department of History for their willingness to serve and their encouragement. I heartily thank the following people for their enthusiastic and valuable assistance: Dr. Antonio Holland, Dr. Timothy Roberts, Elizabeth Wilson, Yvette Ford, Mary Simmons, John Lowrance, and David Luther. I owe the production of this massive study to the collective family efforts, sacrifices, and skills ofmy husband, Nimrod; our son, Nimrod, Jr.; and our daughter, Cynthia. Without their consistent enthusiastic support, this study could not have been completed.
