Jewell Henry Gillogly, 101 of Drexel, Missouri passed away June 19, 2014 at Adrian Manor, Adrian, Missouri.
Jewell was an only child born June 24, 1912 to Arthur Cline Gillogly and Katie Florence (Henry) Gillogly on the family farm one mile east of Drexel in Cass County where he lived most of his life. He was united in marriage to Ella Marie Van Slyke on November 20, 1935.

Jewell was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved grandfather Joel Henry, a granddaughter Brenda Kay (Gillogly) Beckett, and an infant great-granddaughter Andrea Marie Alonge.
Jewell is survived by his three children: son Ralph (June) Gillogly of Drexel; daughters Evelyn (Wayne) Koopman of Drexel; and Marlene (Cecil) Shannon of Overland Park, Kansas; 11 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

Jewell attended 12 years of school in Drexel, where he graduated in 1930. After graduation Jewell continued to farm with his father and hauled coal from 1930-1933 to Drexel to sell. He would leave home about 1:00 AM and drive two teams of horses hitched to a box wagon to Good’s Coal Mine west of Amsterdam and sold the coal in Drexel. He made $2.50 a load.

Jewell played violin in a community orchestra each Thursday night in Merwin, Missouri at the bandstand from 1930-1932. Few people had cars so most of the large crowd came by buggy to hear the music. Jewell used a team of mules that pulled a railroad iron to level the ground for the construction of the older part of the Drexel Baptist Church where he was a member. Jewell became a Christian at the age of 11 and has always had a strong faith in God.

Jewell farmed many years with his father and then with his son Ralph until the age of 93. Jewell worked very hard during his lifetime and had the ability to fix machinery and built a barn. He shucked a lot of corn by hand and always took care of his parents and family.

Weather Update: Hot, Muggy Conditions Continue


Very warm and muggy conditions are the main story for today, especially since we'll be missing the relief provided by breezy conditions we've seen over the last few days. Scattered storms are possible Saturday and there *is* some potential for strong wind gusts or marginally severe hail with any robust storms, but the overall coverage of stronger storms should be fairly low. Thunderstorm chances will continue into Sunday and will become more likely Sunday night into Monday, but no severe weather is expected during that period.
