| Description | On October 18, 1865 a petition was filed by George F. Bowers, John J.S. Bowers and William Bowers against plaintiff Harvy T. McCune. The suit was filed in Lawrence County, MO and involved the burning, on October 5, 1865 [1863], of the Bowers' grist mill, carding machine and woolen manufacturing concern, all located in the town of Oregon in Lawrence County, MO. The Bowers contend that a group of Rebel soldiers led by General Joseph Shelby actually burned the mill and other buildings, but that Harvy T. McCune motivated them to do it. The Bowerses ask for damages in the amount of $32,000. Sherwood and Young are the attorneys for the plaintiff and George F. Bowers is agent for the other plaintiffs. |
