From "New Era Weekly," Aug. 3, 1876:
Hickory Co., like her sister counties of Mo., suffered much from the ravage of the War of 1861. In the month of May of that year, a company of men known as the State Guards was organized at Black Oak Point, in the interest of the Confederacy. John Mabary, a prominent citizen of the County, was elected Captain, Benj. F. Barnes, First Lieut., Jas. H. Gallaber, Sec. Lieut. Shortly thereafter, the Company, with other companies from adjoining counties, were organized into a battalion, of which R. I. Robertson, a merchant at Black Oak Point, was elected major. Soon thereafter, in the latter part of May of the first of June of that year, the loyal citizens becoming alarmed for their safety, those of the eastern and central part of the County, held a meeting at Pittsburg, where speeches were made by Meekin Pitts and others. Resolutions were adopted declaring their loyalty to the government of the U.S.
