Hoodoo Brown

Hyman G. Neill, better known as Hoodoo Brown, hailed from a good family in Lexington, Missouri. A traditional southern family, Neill’s father came from Lee County, Virginia in the 1830s. In Lexington, he practiced law and would have joined the confederacy at the outbreak of the Civil War; however, he said that he could not disavow his oath to support the Constitution and fought with the Union, eventually becoming a major. Due to this choice and his wife’s death, he moved his family to Warrensburg, Missouri after the war.

    I lived not far from Warrensburg in the mid-70s. Never heard of him before.
