Searching for any photographs, written or newspaper accounts, or information especially on the military history of Howell M Searcy (Searsy) 1838-1929. He was known to have lived in Tampico circa 1910 and rests there. Married to Winnie Smith in 1872, and had daughters Amadon and Rosina. Any help appreciated.

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately not much is known of Howell M Searcy. He was born in Kentucky and relocated with his family to Clay County Missouri before the Civil War. His is the grave of the only Confederate soldier buried in the Tampico Cemetery. The Sons of Confederate Veterans identify him as probably being a Missouri Partisan Guerilla; as were Jesse and Frank James. Hundreds of Missourians from the devistated region of Western Missouri rode with Quantrell, Anderson, Todd and others. Many participated on an irregular basis. Since there was a death sentence on them if caught, secrecy was of vital concern. I have been in contact with the Clay County Archives, but so far Howell's connection as a Southern soldier have not been proven. It is possible that your Richard or Christopher Searcy may be his grandsons...
