    • From the 1984 Callaway County History book:
      Jacob Ellwood Gingrich son of Jacob and Martha Gingrich, was born May 6, 1882 in the home near Ham's Prairie, the house is still standing and being used as a home. Ellwood, as he wished to be called, attended Muir School where he fell in love with Madge Beaven, who later became his wife. He attended Westminster College in 1902 and 1903 and went to the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904. He worked at the State Hospital, Fulton, Post Office and helped to install the first mail boxes of Callaway County. On December 5, 1905, he married Mauge Beaven, daughter of Theodore Beaven and niece of Judge Price Beaven all of Callaway County. Just about this time the Gingrich family dropped the "e" from Gingrich family name. Ellwood took great interest in farming, carpentry, mules and riding horses. He always exhibited mules and riding horses at County fairs. Madge was an excellent mother, seamstress, cook, and churchworker. They became members of Christian Churches and were faithful members in church work, schools, etc.
      To this union were born six children: Ray, an auto mechanic; Theodore, Kansas wheat farmer; Helen Grace, teacher; Harold, an employee of Harbison Walker; Charles Beaven, elementary school principal; Robert, a teacher and Social Service worker who died in 1976. Jacob Ellwood Gingrich died March 26, 1982. He was preceded in death by his wife, Madge in December 12, 1955. They always tried to improve the area in which they lived through Church work, schools, and betterment of the human race. They have six grand children and twelve great grandchildren.
