at high Point, Cem., Stoutland, MO All of these children were born at the home where the Camdenton airport
stood, south of Camdenton, MO on Hwy 5. They later moved to a farm on the Niangua River, across from Iron town. Then they moved to the farm south of Montreal, MO. Ferd tells a story that during their move they had to cross the river on the swinging bridge. the mules they had to carry their belongings where so afraid they almost crawled across the bridge. One mule lost a shoe and it fell down into the river. Ferd raised his family on the Stoutland farm. This is the farm that Frank, the father, passed away at. Frank L.Bookhout hauled freight from Lebanon, MO to Linn Creek, MO and to Springfield, MO. Frank and mary kept travelers overnight at their home. The children went to Myetta school. When they lived on the farm on the Niangua they went to Dry Ridge school. the house where Abraham and Cornelia lived was across the road from where Frank and Mary lived. John bookhout told us that the Bookhouts came 1st to carthage, MO when Frank L. was about 9 years old. Frank L. told of a sttorm that hit when they lived there around 1873. In this storm Frank L. and his father Abraham were out in the field and had to hold onto a sprout to keep from being blown away. The Bookhouts were
believed to have come to Camden County between 1873 and 1880. After Frank died Mary and the children lived ont he Stoutland farm. They moved a few times but always came back to the Stoutland farm. Ferd and Andy went to the
CCC camps to pay off the morgage on the farm. Mary (Molly) had told them she would give them the farm if they would pay it off. Andy went 1ft & Ferd went in about 1936 and came out in 1939. They were allowed to stay only 3 years.
These camps were inacted by Presendent Franklin D. Roosevelf when there wern't any jobs for young men. Andy and Ferd received $30.00 each month and sent home $25.00 to their Mother.
