Southern Oddities

Throughout history, there has always been certain types of people, who are able to influence others with bizarre doctrines & unnatural religious teachings, claiming to be divine in nature or prophets of God, pulling many under their wicked spell. One of those self-proclaimed prophets was, John Samuel Barker. Barker might of looked like a sickly man, but he had the incredible abilities of public speaking. This self-proclaimed prophet of God influenced a number of people to depart from churches of Christ to follow his peculiar teachings, forming the cult known as the Barker Rites.

When I say the word Transylvania, what comes to mind? for most people it brings up the images of blood sucking vampires & castles. What if I told you there is another Transylvania, and this Transylvania was not located in Europe, but in Lexington, Kentucky, that has more scientific teaching instruments than any college in America except Harvard, would you believe me? Transylvania University, in the many years its been serving up academic achievements, has also turned out some very interesting history. One of those bits of history is the Transylvania Moosnick Museum or as its actually called The Monroe Moosnick Museum and it displays some very interesting oddities.

Every religion has a story of creation, of how man & woman became to inhabit & flourish life on Earth, of how a supernatural being, bigger than us, created a Terrestrial Paradise or simply a paradise, the biblical "Garden of God". We never forget certain aspects of this biblical story....Adam and Eve wondering around the garden in the nude due to their innocence, God forbidding Adam & Eve from eating fruit from the "Tree of Knowledge", or how Eve was tempted by a snake to eat an apple, causing a disruption, Adam & Eve's disobedience against God.
While scholars and other archaeologists have never been able to find the Garden of Eden, one man , a preacher, thinks he found the "Garden of God", the earthly paradise, full of water & fruit, in the small town of Bristol, Florida. In the 1950s, Elvy Edison Callaway, a Baptist preacher, retired lawyer, and Republican candidate for governor, bought some land he believed to be the Earthly Paradise, and developed it into the "Garden of Eden" park setting off one of the most bizarre theories on the "Garden of Eden".

Chillicothe is a city in the state of Missouri with a small population of just over 9,000 people. The name "Chillicothe" is Shawnee for "big town", From 1865 to 1870, the city improved rapidly, then a lull lasted until 1875, when the erection of the beautiful three-story, $36,000 school building was started, now known as "Middle School." From that time on Chillicothe made a slow, steady growth up to 1886, when the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad were built through town. That same year also saw the introduction of the "Water Works" and electric lights. The city continued to modernize in the early 20th century, and one of those modernizations, is an invention that still produces a commodity today, Sliced Bread.
