Missouri, Arkansas Pauls

My father, Dr. Willis E. Paul and his brother Dr. Theodore Paul were born in Savannah, Mo. Where their parents founded the Savannah Reporter, the local newspaper. Their parents, O.E. and Anna Bailey Paul moved to Missouri from Centerville, Ohio. O.E. and Anna's parents were both from Ohio. These Paul's were German and the name was Paulus until they got to America. My parents settled in Mound City, Mo in the Northwest part of the state and my uncle Dr. Theodore Paul settled in the Southeast part of the state. O.E. Paul had several sons and most stayed in the Northwest part of the state. There's a huge concentration of Paul's around Lancaster, Pa. and I believe one of those families moved to Ohio and then Missouri. Many passed through Kentucky also. This is a very brief summary. Good luck on your search. Herb A. Paul
