Every life has a story ... even those that seem ordinary at first glance.

Born in the High Point community of Moniteau County in 1888, William "Allen" Short spent his life working the land, serving customers in country stores, raising a family, and adapting to the challenges of rural Missouri during the early 20th century. His journey took him from the family farm to the J.F. Tising store in High Point, back to farming, and later to California, Missouri, where he worked in the Ehrhardt Mercantile Company before his untimely death from pneumonia in 1932.

This article explores the life of a hardworking Missourian whose story reflects the experiences of countless rural families who helped build our communities.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to read and share his story. As always, thank you for helping preserve Missouri's history, one story at a time.

The story of William Allen Short, who was known throughout his life as “Allen, is one rooted in rural Missouri and shaped by family, faith and hard work. Though his life was cut short at the age of...

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember twin brothers Roscoe (left) and Robert Enloe, whose lives reflected both service and sacrifice.

Born and raised in the Cole County, the brothers were members of Company L, 2nd Missouri Infantry Regiment of Jefferson City when the unit was called to service during World War I and redesignated as Company C, 130th Machine Gun Battalion, 35th Division.

During the fierce fighting of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, 23-year-old Roscoe Enloe was mortally wounded and died on September 30, 1918. In recognition of his sacrifice, the Roscoe Enloe American Legion Post 5 was chartered in 1919 and named in his honor. Although Roscoe is buried in France among the heroes who never returned home, an honorary marker at Enloe Cemetery ensures that his memory remains close.

His twin brother, Robert Enloe, survived the war and returned home. Tragically, his life was cut short in 1929 following an accidental gunshot wound. Today, Robert rests at Enloe Cemetery alongside generations of the Enloe family.

As we gather this Memorial Day, may we remember not only those who gave their lives in military service, but also the families forever changed by war. The story of Roscoe and Robert Enloe serves as a lasting reminder of duty, sacrifice, and the enduring bonds of family.

Tomorrow evening — Thursday, May 21, beginning at 5 p.m. — members of the Enloe Cemetery Board will once again gather to place American flags on the graves of nearly 380 veterans laid to rest within the cemetery.

As many of our dedicated volunteers are of an aging population, we would greatly appreciate assistance from community members willing to lend a hand and a bit of youthful vigor to help honor those who served our nation. Even an hour of your time would make a tremendous difference.

We also invite the public to attend the annual Enloe Memorial Day Service this Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Rev. Alan Earls will serve as guest speaker as we come together to remember and honor our veterans and loved ones.

We hope to see you there as we continue this meaningful tradition of remembrance and community service. 🇺🇸

Several weeks ago, the cemetery was donated three brass veteran emblems for use in cemeteries - 1 basic veteran emblem and 2 honoring WWI veterans.

Willard Gardner of Gardner Welding , LLC near Russellville volunteered the time, talent and material to affix stakes to the emblems. Yesterday, we placed the basic veteran emblem by the grave of Johnny Campbell in Enloe Cemetery. Johnny was the only Russellville resident to be killed in Vietnam.

Also in Enloe Cemetery, we placed one of the WWI emblems at the grave of Earl Remley, a young soldier killed in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The other emblem was placed at the gravesite of Dr. L. David Enloe, who served with a surgical hospital in France during WWI. His younger brother, Roscoe Enloe, was killed in the war and is the namesake for American Legion Post 5 in Jefferson City.

Thank you to community-minded individuals such as Willard who have supported us in honoring veterans at Enloe Cemetery.

If you wish to help us pay tribute to veterans at Enloe Cemetery, you can meet us at the pavilion in the cemetery at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 22, 2025. We will be placing flags at the graves of the nearly 360 heroes buried there in preparation for Memorial Day.

God bless 🇺🇸!
