Welcometo HistoricDowntown
Independence!
The Independence Square has a wide array
of offerings for visitors and local residents
alike. It not only provides an immense
amount of history, but also some of the finest
shopping and restaurants in Jackson County.
Supporting The Square and helping with
revitalization is a priority for the Tourism
Department and me personally. It is crucial
that we support our local merchants in order
to keep, what I consider to be, one of the
cornerstones of our community. The beauty
and culture that The Square brings to
Independence makes it one of our most
marketable historic sites.

portraits of the pastMarshall James Peacock
WrittenbytedW.Stillwell independence was wild in its early
days, but it had never dealt with anyone as wild as Jim crow chiles. chiles came from a good family but rode with the bushwhackers during the war and was never able to settle back into a respect-able lifestyle afterwards. He was mar-ried to Harry Truman’s aunt Sarah, the daughter of Solomon young. They had one half blind son who was probably the only person in town who liked Jim crow chiles. His daddy was his hero, even if he was the meanest person to ever walk the streets of the independence Square.
The crow had the whole town living in fear whenever he was around. He had a nasty habit of riding his black stallion, named John Morgan, across the square shooting out window lights in the middle of the night. Women would hide their faces in their shawls and scurry on by. all of the african americans feared for their life, and with just cause. The town marshal was afraid to face the crow; because even under the influence of whisky, he was deadly accurate with his two dragoon pistols.
Then along came James Peacock campaigning for town marshal. Pea-cock vowed to rid the town of Jim crow chiles if elected. That was a brave state-ment, but then Peacock was a brave man.
Peacock had followed General dono-phan down to Mexico. His long weary march, the fevers, and his dysentery were part of the price this country paid for the great Southwest. Then he loaded salt, corn meal, and salt pork into a prai-rie schooner and followed the trail of the forty-niners to california. could the rough life he led on those two adven-tures have given him the courage he needed to face down the guns of Jim crow chiles.
Peacock won the election with the understanding that he would be required to remove this scourge from society. Up until this time no man had the courage to even file a complaint;
but now with a new marshal, a formal complaint was filed and the word went out the marshal was going to arrest Jim crow chil-es. The crow got wind of this and sent word to the marshal that he would kill him on sight. The mar-shal strapped on his gun belt and set out for the square. He stopped only once and that was to order his young son to go back home. The boy pretended to obey, but was right back on the marshals heels as he entered the square.
Peacock turned the southwest corner by the old chrisman Saw-yer bank just as The crow stepped in front of the drug store with his half blind boy just behind him. Four shots immediately rang out, both men and both boys hit the ground. chiles and his son were both dead, Peacock and his son was severely wounded but both were still alive. Peacock had simply been faster on the draw. The loafers around the square all scurried for safety when the shots rang out, but when the dust settled the crowds gath-ered. The africans began to chant hosanna’s and everyone else began to dance and cheer. a collection was taken up to buy fireworks and the party was on. Marshal Peacock had rid the town of that awful Jim crow chiles.
Peacock was bothered the rest of his life with a bullet in his back, but became the local hero and was re-elected marshal for two more terms. in 1882 he was elected Mayor of indepen-dence and was the first mayor to have six miles of wooden sidewalks built. in 1894 he was appointed judge of the police court.
The preacher who taught Jim crow chiles the Ten commandments laid him to rest beside his half blind boy in a buckner cemetery.
