Firmin McIlvaine - Firmin was shot & killed by the outlaw Sam Hildebrand - SAM'S BROTHER LYNCHED:   Sam and his brother, Frank, had gotten into some trouble over a horse swapping deal involving a horse that was stolen from Firmin McIlvaine.   When the Civil War started in 1861 Frank went to Potosi in Washington County to enlist in the Union Army Home Guards. That is when Capt. Castleman turned Frank over to Firmin McIlvaine and his group of vigilantes. They eventually took Frank to Ste. Genevieve County and, without the benefit of a trial, hung him to a tree then threw his body into a sink hole where it was not found for more than a month.  In June, 1862 Sam avenged his brother's death when he shot and killed George Cornicius and Firmin McIlvaine.

SAM HILDEBRAND'S VICTIMS: Below is a partial list of the victims of Sam Hildebrand.  This information was gleaned from "Sam Hildebrand Rides Again" by Henry C. Thompson.

FIRMIN McILVAINE ~ Shot June, 1862 while working in his farm field in St. Francois Co., Mo.

Excerpts from:  Sam Hildebrand Guerilla by Carl W. Breihan -

Pg. 6 - Shortly before this someof Sam's neighbors had started what they called a Vigilante Committee, & their squads patrolled night & dy to put down horse stealing.  At the head of that gang was Firman Mcilvaine, the worst element in the community.

Pg. 7 - McIlvaine & his vigilantes had come into the yard & were approaching the house from all sides in a regular line.  Sam detected a gap in their ranks & dashed through it.  They commenced fireing, & Sam dodged behind a molasses mill in the yard.  That mill caught nine of their bullets & without doubt saved Sam's life.  Then he struck out towards the wood, a distnce of about 200 yards.  He had the inclination to shoot back at them but that would indicate where he was in the open field, so he silently gained the edge of the woods.  From there he could hear them men talking & thus became certain of his enemies' identity.

Pg. 17 - When Sam arrived in the vicinity of Flat Woods in St. Francois Co., Mo. , it was the 12th day of June.  Immediately , he commenced searching for George Cornecious, the man who had reported his whereabouts to MacIlvaine & the soldiers.

Stealthily he crosse the river & went to the lower part of McIlvaine's farm.  There he found Negroes cuttin down a field of rye.....

Pg. 18 - Sam had been waiting, well hidden.  At last he saw McIlvaine making his first round.  Actually, he passed where Sam was hidin & he stopped to whet his scythe.  As soon as he had done that, he lowered the cradle to the ground & stood resting against the handle.

Sam fire, & McIlvaine was dead.  Nothing but a long series of wrongs could have made him take the life of a young man who had so many good points.  Sam remembered how, after the first outbreak of war, a fine mare had been stolen from McIlvaine.  He maust have loved that mare,& when others told him that Sam Hildebrand was the thief, he must have felt a righteous anger.  And so he was goaded on to take the law into his own hands.  Because of allthat, Frank Hildebrand had hung without a trial & his body flung into a sink-hole to moulder like that of a beast.
