--The death rate for the past three weeks has been steadily increasing. Among those who mourn the death of infants are R. C. Montgomery and wife, who lost their babe last Wednesday. Jos. Meeker lost a child last Friday and has another one very sick. Prof. Embree, who resides south of town, lost their babe last Friday. Also, a child of Mr. Eckles, who resides in east Maryville, died one day last week. All the above died we believe from that dread scourge, summer complaint.

[EMBREE, CAROLINE S. "CARRIE"]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 31, 1884
--With sorrow we chronicle that death has again invaded our community. This time he laid his ruthless hands upon Carrie S., little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Embree. Her disease was brain fever and dysentery and her sickness of but three days duration. So violent was the attack that from the first hour but little hopes were entertained of her recovery. All that kind hands prompted by loving hearts could do was done, but to no avail. God had called. Her death occurred Saturday, July 26. Carrie was an unusually bright child of nearly two years. By her bright and sunny disposition, she won all hearts and the affection of the family were centered upon her. An aged grandfather almost idolized her and thought he could not give her up. But they mourn not as those without hope. "Tis hard to "kiss the rod," but they bow in submission to Him who doeth all things well. Funeral services were held at the family residence on Sunday, July 27, by Rev. T. A. Canady. From there her little body was carried and laid to rest in Miriam cemetery.

Sad Death of Mr. John Farren of Clyde Missouri!
Truly misfortune comes not singly. By the death of Mr. John Farren, a father and mother lose a most dutiful son. Brothers, sisters and relatives, all are called to bear the affliction incident to the death of a near and dear relative. On last Tuesday morning all that was immortal of Mr. John Farren took its departure from its tabernacle of clay and soared to a brighter and happier home. His illness was short but serious. Only a few weeks ago, he was among us, the merriest of all. It is hard to think, in the prime of life, blessed with a fair portion of this world's goods; surrounded by near and dear friends that he was called away. 'Poor John' is now the by-word in the little village of Clyde.
Although among us but a short time his friends were numbered by the score. All knew him and all loved him; all through his illness a devoted father, fond mother, relatives and friends stood by his bedside, cheered and comforted him. The best medical skill was in attendance, but all proved of no avail. It seems sad indeed to write John is dead. The gentle voice is hushed. The bright eyes are closed, and we are overcome at the knowledge of our loss. Yes, poor Johnnie is dead! But only in name. In the tomb where all our hopes seem buried, there is only the mortal remains. The Scriptures say: "If man dies, he will live again." Death to him had no fears. It was as sleep to the weary. A discardment of all the ills and cares of an earthly life for a life of eternal bliss. Oh, what a grand and sublime change! Oh, how happy he must be today beyond the tomb! In that bright and happy land, surrounded with celestial beings. . . .
His remains was escorted to the depot by a large concourse of friends. From whence they were taken to his home in Illinois. [Poem not transcribed.]  A Friend.

Murder and Suicide.
Last night the little village of Tobias was thrown into a state of overwhelming excitement by the startling announcement that W. W. Farris, a well to-do Friendville mechanic had murdered his wife, who was a resident of Tobias and had taken his own life. Investigation confirmed the report, and the excitement grew more intense.
The facts in the case as we glean them from the divers reports now afloat are as follows: Mr. Farris and his wife were living separately on account of some previous domestic infelicity and it is claimed Mrs. Farris was living the companion of an illicit lover at Tobias. Mr. Farris, it seems, met his wife at that place some days ago when a quarrel ensued and Mr. Farris declared he would take her life. Things have passed quietly since then till yesterday when the husband returned to make good his word and succeeded in sending two souls into eternity.
We hope to be able to give our readers a more detailed account of the affair in a short time.

--A story of a horrible tragedy comes by telegram from Nebraska, no less than the shooting of Mrs. Riley Farris by her husband and then the suicide of Mr. Farris. Mrs. Farris was a daughter of Dr. May, of Burlington Junction. Mr. and Mrs. Farris had been married some years and did not get along the best, Farris being a drinking man. He had been on a drunk and meeting her on the sidewalk shot her dead, and then blew his own worthless brains out.

He had been separated from his wife for some time and she had sued for a divorce. Her remains were brought to Burlington Junction for burial.

[FLING, SAMUEL BRIGHT]

Samuel Bright Fling was born in Perry county, Ohio, July 10, 1851. Died at his home in Manchester, Ok., January 12, 1926. He was married to Letha Ann Wright, August 26th, 1883, at Wellington, Kans. To this union were born five children; They are, Howard W. Fling of Chicago; Alpha A. Heimple, of Wichita, Kans.; Arthur H. Fling, of Council Grove, Kans.; Loren E. Fling, of Fort Douglass, Ariz., and Loie M. McManaman of Wichita, Kans.
Besides these he leaves the wife; also one sister, Mrs. H. Martin of Keokuk, Iowa to mourn their great loss. Early in life he joined the M. E. Church. He joined the I. O. O. F. Lodge in August, 1898 and has been an earnest, hard working member for the good of that order until death claimed him. In fact for a great many years he has been designated as the "Father of the Lodge." He was buried with the full honors of the Lodge he so dearly loved during his life. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. O. L. Corbin in the Congregational Church. Interment was made in the I. O. O. F. Cemetery by H. T. Smith, Funeral Director of Wakita, Ok. He was placed to sleep until the Resurrection Day under the largest mass of floral offerings that we have ever seen at any funeral, showing the great esteem in which he was held by all who ever knew him. The Rebekah Lodge attended the funeral in a body. Only a day or so before his death he commenced soliciting the action of the Lodge to build an addition of 30 feet, two stories high to the present Lodge room so that the Rebekahs might have accommodations in putting on Lodge suppers. We believe this will yet be done and when finished be dedicated to the memory of S. B. Fling.

UPPER ELK HORN – With sadness yesterday we read a telegraph dispatch that our old neighbor and long our personal friend, Elder Samuel Gile died on Wednesday Aug. 8 at 12 o'clock and 30 minutes, in Sumner county, Kansas. He only landed there on Sunday. The sad news falls heavy on this community as he was one of our most substantial and honorable citizens. We spent a portion of the day previous to his leaving here with him and it has not been our lot for many a day to bid farewell with a friend with more sadness. He spent a number of years in the ministry and his children and many friends have the bright consolation that he has gone to a better land.

UPPER ELKHORN - On Saturday morning Mrs. 'Squire Godard gave birth to a beautiful girl babe but dead. We truly feel sorry for Mrs. Godard, as she has but recently moved here. 'Squire is well known in your city, having clerked in Smith & Bean's clothing store. Some two years ago he took a trip to western Dakota territory, became acquainted and married the lady of his choice, Miss Webster. She left her parents, home, friends, and all, a little less than a year ago, and came to this county and the brief stay with us has bound a cord of love for them that is strong in death's dark hour, we are glad to say. Although Mrs. Godard's only blood kindred save her husband, was separated far from her. Our people sympathize with them and shed their tears freely [with] theirs, and on Sunday its little form was followed to the Swan Chapel cemetery by a large crowd of sorrowing friends. We say to the sorrowing parents weep not, for that beautiful little white lily that you had to lay in the cold dark tomb, she will receive a crown of glory beyond the dark river.

Sudden Death of a Stranger.
There died at the Ackley House at one o'clock this morning Mrs. Emma Goodell, late of Sac-and-Fox, Indian territory. She came to Davenport two months ago for the benefit of her heath and to visit friends. She had been suffering greatly from indigestion and was in a weak condition. On Sunday last she took a severe cold and on Monday went out in the drizzling rain to take a walk—and returned to the hotel in great distress. She sent for Dr. Bowman, who found her suffering intensely from inflammation of the bowels. Nothing could be done to arrest the progress of her ailment and she progressed rapidly toward death, which occurred at the time named. Mrs. Goodell had a husband at Sac-and-Fox, whom she left because of his ill treatment of her. Both her parents are dead. Among her paper were found a letter from her brother, Mr. Samuel Fling, of Maysville [Maryville], Mo., couched in very affectionate terms and telling her that his home shall be her home as long as she lives, if she will accept his invitation to come to him. He was informed of her death by telegraph, and Dr. Bowman is awaiting an answer from him.

Maggie Grimes, wife of Lilburn Grimes, who resides three miles northwest of Maryville, died at her home last Friday, January 25th, 1884, at one o'clock p. m., that dreaded disease consumption being the primary cause of her death. She was born in Tennessee, September 18th, 1854. In 1860 her father, Jesse Elliott, moved to Andrew county when she was six years old. She grew to womanhood, where the writer remembers to have, with her, and others of like age, wandered over the grassy lawns, through the joyous groves along the shady brook and pursued those simple childish sports and plays which are enjoyed only in childhood hours. She was the youngest of twelve children and when but fifteen years of age she was converted and joined the M. E. church south, of which church she remained a member until two or three years ago, when she with her husband united with the Christian church. She leaves two small children and he by whose side she was walking the meandering paths of life, to mourn her loss. May he who took little children in his arms and blest them enfold the arms of His love and protection around them and direct them in the paths of right which was the prayer and burden of the mother's mind before she died.
She was married to Lilburn Grimes in 1874 and came to Nodaway county of that year and has resided here ever since. She was taken to Andrew county last Sunday, where her remains were laid to their last resting place. She expressed herself at different times during her last sickness as being fully prepared for death, that heaven was her home and that she would soon be with Him that died to redeem her. She was a devoted wife and a kind mother. May we all meet her where parting is no more.

Death of John Growney.
Mr. John Growney, one of the oldest and most esteemed citizens of Jefferson township, departed this life Tuesday, January 29th, at 9 A. M. Mr. Growney had been suffering the past few weeks from that terrible disease erysipelas. The best of medical skill was summoned and great hopes were entertained of his recovery but despite all efforts he gradually sank lower. Near and dear friends gathered around the bedside and administered kindly to all his wants. But the dutiful wife who stood all these long days watching carefully every change saw the life ebbing away. Brothers and sisters who were taken away from his bedside worn with fatigue and who now suffer in anguish on a feverish pillow saw the life of their charge pass away like smoke from a burning ember. To no skill would the terrible disease succumb in its confines, death had taken his abode. No words we can offer here would be a just tribute to the character of this man. In his death a family tie has been broken and the wife and children lose a most dutiful protector. But in his death they should also hope. For him it had no terrors. He faced it with all the courage and fortitude of a Christian and in the darkest hour could say: "Oh! grave where is they victory, Oh! death, where is thy sting." Mr. Growney is a brother of Phillip Growney and Mrs. Judge Brady of Jefferson township, and our fellow townsman L. J. Growney. He came with his brothers to Nodaway county in 1857 and settled on what was known as the colony land. Since then he has been closely identified with the interest of this county. Indeed society has lost in him one of its most useful members. Brothers and sisters, a loving brother; and wife and children, a husband and father that never can be restored. His remains were escorted to Conception and interred amid a large concourse of friends.    A Friend.

Died, at his residence in Gentry county, Mo., August 11, 1883, Samuel Hobbs Grundy, of paralysis, after a short illness of about 11 days, which he bore with manly fortitude and calm resignation.
The deceased was born in Washington county, Ky., Feb. 18, 1819, consequently had reached his 65th year. Removed to Missouri in 1855; moved to Arkansas in 1845, thence to Iowa, lived there 5 years; thence to Clinton county, Mo., where he lived until 1866, then moved to DeKalb county, Mo., where he lived 5 years, moving in '71 or '72 to Gentry county where he died in the midst of his family and friends, leaving a family of six sons and four daughters and aged companion, all of whom were present at the funeral services. He was nephew of Felix Grundy of Tennessee and father of G. J. Grundy, of the firm of Grundy & Hutchinson of the Old Wigwam, Maryville, Mo. Mr. Grundy was truly a pioneer of the West and although living in many localities in different states, yet he and his sons had amassed a large landed estate and were extensive dealers in stock. He had been home but about three weeks with his family from his stock ranch in Kansas when death claimed him as its proper victim.
Death is the king of terrors and a terror to all stings. Deaf he is to all entreaties; he spares no fathers, mothers, husbands, children. All must go down to the grave until God shall call us up again. Deceased was a member of no church, but was moral and upright, kindhearted and benevolent, highly esteemed and his death was lamented by all his neighbors and the community in which he lived, as attested by the large collection of people attending his funeral ceremonies in the yard in front of his residence. Forty-five wagons and carriages, besides a large procession on foot and horseback followed his remains to the Grundy cemetery situated on his own premises near his late residence. The funeral services were conducted by Elder R. M. Simmons of Hopkins, who delivered a short discourse from 53 v. of 15th chapter of 1st Corinthians and although the mourning was intense, as attested by the flood of tears, yet God was asked to soothe their sorrows and heal their broken hearts. All must obey the command of God. Dust to dust, Earth to earth. Dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return. Job asks, if a man die shall he live again? Being informed in the affirmative, he answers, "All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come."
May the incomes of God's rich, free and ever abounding grace be bestowed upon his aged companion in her declining years, together with her sons and daughters and grandchildren and all who may feel the sad bereavement.

Death of Jacob V. Hall.
Jacob V. Hall born June 28, 1797, near New York City, died at the residence of his son Franklin, in Braddyville, Iowa, September 22, 1885. Father Hall emigrated to Michigan in 1822 and in November 1865 he emigrated to Mo. and since that time he has been a resident of Mo. and Iowa. Early in life he was a strong believer in the universal salvation of all men. But after studying the bible very closely, he changed his mind and while plowing in his field in the spring of 1820, he received the evidence that he was born of God; he at once united with the M. E. church and being eminently pious he was soon appointed class leader and for many years he occupied this position in the church. Sixty-five years of his life were spent in the church, always ready to do what he could for the master. For ten years he has been almost blind and was anxiously waiting for the messenger to come and release him from pain and the night of the twenty-second of September death came to his rescue, and as we looked upon his furrowed cheeks we were remembered of the language of one of old, "Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season." The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. F. Sapp of Clearmont, Mo., in the presence of a large concourse of friends. Deceased leaves three sons and two daughters to mourn his loss and as a legacy to these dear weeping children an unblemished Christian character.    M. F. S.

Miss Sarah E. Harbison, the daughter of Cyrus and Catherine Harbison, was born October 20th, 1867, in Henderson county, Illinois, moved with her parents and settled in Nodaway county, Missouri, March 1874, died May 17, 1883, aged 15 years, 6 months and 27 days.
Her father and mother preceded her to the spirit world. Her mother died June 27th, 1875, her father died July 10, 1881. Sarah was not sick but a few days. She was confined to her bed Monday and quietly passed away Thursday with scarlet fever at her brother's, Franklin P. Harbison. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Olphant, Text, John 3:7, "Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again." After which, the body was followed to the Wilcox cemetery near Lanning's Mill, by her heart stricken brothers and sister and a large concourse of neighbors and friends, where her body was quietly laid to rest until Jesus bids it rise and hail him in triumph descending the skies. The subject of this sketch never made any profession of religion but in her last moments was heard to speak of her father and mother, who died in full triumph of a living faith, we gather sufficient evidence from this to embrace hope that she is now with the redeemed in heaven and to realize that Jesus can make a dying bed feel soft as downy feathers are while on his breast I lean my head and breathe my life out sweetly there. She leaves six brothers and one sister to mourn her loss, but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. [Poem not transcribed.]

Obituary of Mrs. A. J. Harmon.
The subject of this sketch, her maiden name was Amelia M. F. Hall, was born April 10, 1840, in Ray county, Missouri, where she grew to womanhood. At the age of twenty-two, Mr. Andrew J. Harmon led her, a beautiful bride, to the hymenial altar, there he promised on the fourteenth day of March, 1862, to love, cherish and protect her as long as both should live. They lived happy together for twenty two years. To this union there were born fourteen children, some of them now sleep in death. About the age of nineteen, Miss Hall was buried with her Lord by Christian baptism, uniting with the church of her choice—the Christian church—of which church she was a faithful member till the hour of her death.
Mrs. Harmon has been a great sufferer for a number of years, to erysipelas of the head and face (frequently she could not see) and also neuralgia.
Amidst all these sufferings she was one of the most patient of women. She has lived since her marriage in Davis county, Missouri till some years since, when they moved to Maryville, Nodaway county, this spring moved to White Cloud township. Some three weeks ago she was prostrated upon what proved to be a bed of death. On Monday, August 18th, her attendant and many friends thought she was improving and would be up soon. On Thursday her aunt, Miss Sarah A. Vallandingham and Mrs. Harmon, daughter of Mrs Henry Burns, and two little boys from Emporia, Missouri, came to the room where she was lying, whom she had not seen for the past four years. As she clasped her loving daughter in her arms, the joy of the meeting was great. On Saturday evening she grew worse, after which she sank very fast. On Sunday morning, as the cold sweat of death appeared, she called her husband and children to her bedside and took the last look at them; said she, "where is John?" he being out. He came in soon. She took her baby, a bright, lovely little girl of four years and embraced her time and again. She said she wished her daughter, Mrs. Charles Hulsizer of Hamburg, Iowa, was here, as she had been summoned by telegraph and in a short time she arrived, which gave her great happiness. Oh! said she, I would love to see my two son-in-laws, Mr. Burnes and Mr. Hulsizer. She wished to be laid at the side of her children that had preceeded her, at Crab Orchard cemetery in Davis county, Missouri, after which she gradually sank. At the hour of 7 P. M., on Sabbath, with weeping husband, children and neighbors, all bathed in tears, the spirit took its flight to that world beyond, and the noble form was stilled forever in death. As we viewed her in her last moments with wavy, beautiful black hair, we could but think it was better to be in the house of mourning and death, than in a house of feasting and dancing. We will say to the husband and lovely daughters and sons, you never more will hear her loving voice and you have taken the farewell kiss, and we trust she has gone to that bright world beyond. We, with the recently made friends, bow in sorrow with you in this sad hour.     W.

[HAYS, MARY MCDONALD]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, February 28, 1895

Passed Away – Mrs. Mary Hays, daughter of Richard and Mary McDonald was born in Washington county, Kentucky, November 20, 1804, died February 17, 1895, her age being 90 years, 3 months and 27 days.
She was married to Thomas R. [ay] Hays at the old homestead in Kentucky December 24, 1822, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Bishop McHenery, one of Kentucky's old time Methodist preachers. From this union was born thirteen children, eight of whom are living, namely: Isabel U. [rsula], John G. [riffen], Joseph W. [ashington] Hays and Mrs. Capt. Grigsby of Burr Oak Grove, W. [illiam] R. [ichard] Hays and Mattie J. [ane] Coston, of Wray, Colorado, Mrs. J. E. Hudson and J. [ames] T.[homas] Hays, of this city. There is also twenty living grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. In the year 1830 they left their old home in Kentucky and moved to the neighborhood of McComb, McDonough county, Illinois, where they lived until 1859, when they moved to Nodaway county and settled at Burr Oak Grove, where they lived until death laid them side by side in the Burr Oak cemetery.
Mother was converted at the age of 13 and joined the M. E. church in which she lived a consistent member for seventy seven years. Perhaps through all time few have traveled down so long a life, in perfect harmony with all. Her religious fervor and pure life lent an influence over the family in whose minds she instilled broad moral views and deep religious sentiments.
For nearly six years she had been an invalid. She bore her sufferings with patient submission and unfaltering trust in Him who giveth the victory. She said, I want to go to Jesus." "I want to go home." She waited long and patiently for the coming of the boatman to bear her to the realms of bliss on the other shore. His coming to such a one is an angel of peace. He comes to loose the prison bands of clay and set the spirit free to go home to its Heavenly Father's house.
Mother we know it is your gain to be with the loved ones gone before, but a shadow of grief is cast over the household and we feel a loneliness because the loved form is no longer in its accustomed place and the voice of the loved one is no longer heard, but Jesus leads us forward to a day when he will give back our loved ones to our embrace. Then he will wipe all tears from our eyes and say, "Weep not."  Mrs. J. T. Hays.

Thomas R. Hayes. Gathered to His Father in a Ripe Old Age.
Died, at his home 5 miles northwest of Skidmore, Nodaway county, Missouri, on the 10th of February, 1884, Thomas R. Hayes passed peacefully from earth to heaven. He lacked but four days of being 84 years of age. For two or three years he has been confined to the house most of the time, on account of failing eyesight. However, his general health was good up to a few days prior to his death. When he began to fail, it was simply that his step grew a little slower and a little more tottering. He retired on Saturday night not knowing it was his last night on earth. But as Sunday morning drew near, he "fell asleep."
The deceased was born February 14, 1800, in Springfield, Washington Co., Kentucky. He was married to Mary McDonald, of the same state and county, on December 24, 1825. In 1831 he moved to McDonough county, Illinois, then a frontier county. Here he resided until 1839, when he moved to Nodaway county. He settled on the tract of land which he had secured some two years previous, which served him as a home until his death. His family, which he raised mostly in Illinois, consisted of Elizabeth S., Clarissa P., Anna M., Isabel W., Mary F., William R., James I., Martha J., John G., Joseph W. and Marcus DeLafayette Hayes. All of which are living except the third and last named and all residents of Nodaway county, except Martha J. (Coston) who resides in Nemaha county, Kansas.
Father Hayes was a whole-souled, generous-hearted man, who labored with all his energy in any chosen line. For 57 years he was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church and to which his time, labor, and money were always freely given. He especially labored toward building school houses and churches in the wilderness of Illinois, where he resided seven years and continued so when he removed to Missouri.
He and his wife spent the unusually long married life of 62 years together; it was ended only by his death.
His funeral sermon was preached by the writer at Burr Oak church, to a large congregation of relatives and friends, and his remains were buried in the adjoining church yard, where the bereaved relatives shed tears of sorrow for the departed, whose familiar presence would no longer be seen on earth. But the mourning hearts were comforted with abundance assurance that their father, husband, neighbor and friend had gone to reap the reward of the Just. His life was full of good deeds and his memory will be revered for the worthy example he set of the well-rounded Christian life.    Julius Smith.

Called Home. Sudden Death of Mrs. Mary Heriff, August 9, 1884.
On last Saturday evening our community was shocked and saddened by the announcement of the sudden death from apoplexy of Mrs. Mary Heriff, wife of William Heriff, aged sixty-three years and five months. Mrs. Heriff had, to all appearance, been enjoying splendid health and was going about at her daily household duties up to within a few minutes of her death—the only complaint coming from her lips was that she had a severe headache a half hour before. The shock of death came very sudden, and all that mortal power could do was of no avail.
The funeral services took place on Monday from the Christian church, conducted by Elder Jesse Gresham. The Daughters of Rebecca, of which order she was an honored membered, were also in attendance. Elder Gresham's funeral address was very impressive, and the remains were followed to its lasting place by a large assemblage of sad-hearted friends. – B. J. Post.

He Was First To Vote For Abraham Lincoln
S. H. Holmes Lived in Clay County During the War and Resisted Southern Sentiment. Nearly Reached 100 Mark. One of Nodaway County's Oldest Citizens Died Tuesday Night at 97 Years of Age—Funeral Will Be Thursday.
The death of one of Nodaway county's oldest citizens occurred Tuesday evening when Samuel H. Holmes passed away at the home of his son, G. [reenup] B. Holmes, on Grand avenue. Had he lived until next June Mr. Holmes would have been 97 years old.
The funeral will be held at the residence of G. [reenup] B. Holmes Thursday afternoon at one o'clock, conducted by Dr. C. P. Luce, pastor of the First Baptist church and interment will be made at the Miriam cemetery.
Until a short time ago Mr. Holmes had been in splendid health, reading without glasses and visiting his friends about the city.
Samuel Hosick Holmes was born in Belmont county, Ohio, June 7, 1813. His parents moved to Pendleton county, Kentucky, when he was three years of age and there he grew to manhood.
In his young manhood Mr. Holmes had charge of the estate of Henry Clay and he had many interesting stories to tell of the "Great Compromiser."
In 1838 Mr. Holmes came to Missouri and settled at a place in Caldwell county known as Far West which had been started by the Mormons a few years before. He later moved to Clay county, where he lived for many years, coming to Nodaway county in 1880. Mr. Holmes lived in Clay county during the Civil war and was the first man in that county to cast his vote for Abraham Lincoln. There were not many Union men in Clay county in those days and word had been sent out to the effect that the first man who attempted to vote for Lincoln would be killed. But Mr. Holmes not only had the courage of his convictions, but he had the tact to accomplish what he wanted without causing any unnecessary trouble.
Mr. Holmes was married March 10, 1841, to Lucinda Mitchell, at Liberty, Mo. She died about eighteen years ago. Nine children were born of this union, as follows: Sarah, who is now Mrs. Madden of Grand Island, Neb.; Mollie, wife of James I. Eddy of Troy, New York; Samuel H.

In her seventeenth year she was united in marriage to Joseph D. Hunter, and they were companions in life's journey for nearly forty years. Coming west to this state in 1878 they located in Ellsworth county, where with the exceptions of short intervals in other places, they lived until the husband's death, May 25, 1895. Eleven children were born to them. The five surviving members of the family are A. S. Hunter, of Ellsworth, Kan.; Harry Hunter, Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Bertha Long, Kendall, Kan.; Mrs. Lilly Stratton, of Topeka, Kan., and Mrs. A. W. Dachenhausen, of Holton. For the past year she had been in poor health and for the past few months had been bed fast. Her life's journey closed Tuesday, April 4th while with the daughter in Topeka. She lived a quiet, unobtrusive life, that lets its light shine that most powerful sphere of human influence—the home. The mother of eleven children, she did a service for others that only the divine mind can compute. She knew the joy that life affords with such opportunities of living for othr and training her loved ones in God's fear and favor. It was hers also to know the depths of human sorrow in the loss of those who were dear to her in in her home circle. Early in life she made a confession of her faith in Jesus Christ and united with the Presbyterian congregation of her community. She shall live on in the children she loved and cherished. She shall live on in works of thoughtfulness that were done for others besides those of her own household. She shall live on as a believer in Him who conquered death and brought life and immortality to light. The funeral service was held at the Presbyterian church Friday afternoon at 2 p. m. the services were conducted by the pastor, S. A. Fulton. The body was laid to rest in the Holton cemetery. . . .

Died on the morning of the 13th inst. in Clearmont, Mr. Thomas Hutchinson, aged 79 years, 3 months and 12 days. Mr. Hutchinson was born in Ireland, Cariou [Caribou]county, June 1st, 1804. He came to this country when a young man and at the age of 24 years enlisted in the regular army of the U. S. in which he served 18 years. He was in the Seminole war, in Florida, and was in every battle of the Mexican war, but one. He was 1st Sergeant of Artillery and commanded a battery of 18 pounders in the battle of Palo Alto. Mr. Hutchinson enlisted as a soldier of Christ 25 years ago in Illinois and has been a consistent and faithful member of the Baptist church ever since. He moved into this county two years ago, and united with the church at Clearmont.
He and his aged companion, who survives him, walked to the church Sabbath morning last and heard his pastor preach; and the next Thursday his remains were borne to the same church and his funeral sermon was preached, only four days after the last sermon to which the deceased listened. Thus, he who had passed through so many battles and so often escaped the missiles of death, fell suddenly before the attack of disease. He was respected by the whole community.    R.

--A most distressing accident occurred in Skidmore on Monday afternoon. A little child of Dr. Fred Impey had had the earache and the Doctor had used belladonna as an external application. During the afternoon, the little one in some way got the bottle and swallowed some of the deadly poison. Everything possible was done but all in vain; and the little one passed away Monday night. The parents are almost crazed with grief. The child was between two and three years of age. The stricken friends have the sympathy of all.
[Note: The name of the child's father was Charles Impey, not Fred as stated in the above notice.]

--Maitland Independent: Last Monday afternoon the little eighteen months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Charles Impey of Skidmore was discovered by its mother with a bottle of belladonna in its hands and the cork of the bottle in its mouth. Mrs. Impey, knowing that the contents of the bottle was a fatal poison, immediately took the child to the doctor's office, where emetics were given to it but of no avail. Dr. Impey telegraphed to Dr. Rhoades of Graham, who went to Skidmore and rendered what assistance he could. Shortly after taking the poison the child was thrown into spasms, which continued until about midnight. At 3 o'clock Tuesday morning the spirit of this bright little babe was called upon to appear before the throne of its Creator, where it will be free from pain and sorrow for evermore. The remains were interred in the Odd-fellows Prairie Home yesterday morning, amid the tears of the afflicted parents and sorrowing friends.

Mr. Ingalls was one of the pioneers of Northwest Missouri, having settled in what is now Nodaway county at White Oak Grove in 1841, long before the county was organized. At the time he came to this section the red man still had his abode here, who were about the only neighbors he had. Many years ago he erected a grist mill on the 102, near to where Pickering has since been built, which for many years was the only place where the early settlers got their grain ground. The deceased was well known and by his integrity and sterling honesty, made hosts of friends, which he retained up to his death. Truly it may be said "a good man has fallen." The deceased was the stepfather of the wives of Mr. Wash Downing and Mr. C. Broyles. The funeral took place today.

Gathered To His Father. An Aged Citizen Gone to His Rest.
It is with sorrow that we note the death of one of Maryville's most aged citizens, Benjamin Jackson. Mr. Jackson came to us from the last century, being born in Chester county, Pa., October 6th, 1799. He was united in marriage to his aged partner who survives him, December 18, 1830. Seven children were born to them, of whom only two survive, Mrs. Dr. H. [enry] M. Carver of this city, and Mrs. J. M. Kenyon of Maitland. His funeral services took place at the Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock A. M., Thursday, Rev. Gearhart preaching a very impressive discourse. His remains were buried in Miriam cemetery.
Father Jackson was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church and died in the full hope of a blessed immortality. He lived nearly a score of years past his three score years and ten and went to his rest like an ear of grain fully ripe. His life was one of virtue and honesty, such as all men should live. Mr. Jackson was buried in the same pair of boots in which he was married nearly fifty-five years ago. He had kept them through all the years. He wore them in happy manhood, in middle life, in tottering old age and now they rest with him in the grave.
To the aged widow and the many friends, we say "weep not." His life's work was done. He had fulfilled all its duties and it was mete that he should be called to his reward above. Happy are all men who live as he has lived, die in an honorable old age as he has died and hear the welcome words, "well done."

Death's Doings. Adolph D. Jensen Dies After a Severe Illness.
Many of our citizens were surprised and deeply grieved on Monday evening to learn that Adolph D. Jensen was dead. But few persons comparatively knew that he was sick. About two weeks ago Mr. Jensen was taken with a severe cold which developed into typhoid pneumonia of an aggravated nature, which rendered the skill of physicians of no avail. He received the best medical attendance and all the tender care of a devoted and loving wife, assisted by kind friends. "Dolph," as he was familiarly called, by his quiet demeanor and upright business life, endeared himself to a host of friends, who deeply grieve at his untimely death and whose hearts go out to the grief-stricken wife and orphan children, in their bereavement.
All that was mortal of Adolph D. Jensen was laid to rest in Miriam Cemetery yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the ceremonies being performed by White Cloud lodge, I. O. O. F., of which he was an honored and prominent member. The remains were followed to the tomb by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. To the widow, the sincere condolences of the community is extended.
The following biographical sketch we copy from the History of Nodaway county: "Adolph D. Jensen is a native of Denmark and was born in Copenhagen, May 19, 1849. He was reared and educated at his birthplace and early commenced the active duties of his chosen profession. He came to the United States in 1870 and worked at various occupation in as many places, husbanding his resources until he was enabled to engage in business on his own account." In connection with Dr. Koch, he opened a drug store in this city in 1876 and has not only secured the reputation of being a safe, cautious merchant, but, at the same time, by his skill and thorough knowledge of his business, commands the unlimited confidence of his patrons. Mr. Jensen married Miss Mary Arnold in 1876.

Gone to Rest.
It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of another of Nodaway county's estimable women, Mrs. Catherine Jones, wife of Wm. Jones senior, of White Cloud township, who departed this life on last Tuesday the 7th inst. and was buried on the 9th in the White Cloud cemetery. The funeral was largely attended by many sympathizing friends and relatives, who met at the house and accompanied the remains to the White Cloud Baptist church, where the comforting assurances of the Christian's Hope was presented to a deeply interested audience. Elder D. O. Hink of this city, by special request, spoke from the sacred words of Rev. 14:13 "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth." After a brief discourse the remains were conveyed to their last resting place, there to abide the breaking of that bright morning when—He who holds the keys of death and hades, shall part the heavens and come down and speak to life immortal, those who have "died in the Lord."
Mrs. Jones was in poor health for several years past, not being able to attend to her household duties, when about a month ago she received a stroke of paralysis which terminated in her death. Thus, one by one the good of earth pass away to the rest and quiet of "the house appointed for all living." There the wicked ceased from troubling and the weary are at rest;" while behind them is left, among the living, the hallowed influences of a well spent Christian life and so it may be truly said "being dead yet speak." In this bereavement the community has parted with a valuable member; the church a consistent Christian, and the family, a true and noble friend, wife and mother.

Death of William Jones.
Daily Democrat – William Jones, who resided in the south part of this city, died at his residence at three o'clock Sunday morning, after being ill for some two months, at the advanced age of 79 years. He was born in Fleming county, Kentucky, July 21, 1814, and in 1835 moved to Rush county, Indiana, where his father bought and improved a farm and raised his family. In 1845 he came to Buchanan county, Missouri and 1867 he moved to Nodaway county and located in White Cloud township. He still owned his farm there but some three years ago moved to this city where he had since resided.
Uncle Billy, as he was familiarly called, was the friend of everybody and probably all through his long life never did the least injury to a fellow being. The roll of his good deeds would make a large volume. He was a member of the Advent church for many years but as that church had no organization here, he united a few years ago with the Christian church.
The funeral services were held Monday at 11 a. m. at the White Cloud Baptist church, the sermon being preached by his close friend, Elder D. O. Hink. His remains were laid to rest in the White Cloud cemetery. A good man has gone to rest.
Alfred Jones, the only surviving brother, lives in White Cloud township and is within two or three years of age of the deceased and is in very feeble health.
The deceased was an uncle of Elihu Jones, county treasurer. He was a member of Maryville Lodge No. 165 A. F. & A. M. A number of members of said lodge attended the funeral.

Brother Wm. Jones died at his residence in Maryville, Sunday morning, the 3d inst.; having been born July 21, 1814, he was therefore at the time of his death, 79 years, 4 months and 12 days old.
He was born in Flemming county, Kentucky and in his childhood moved with his parents to Rush county, Indiana, where he lived until 1845 when he came to Missouri and settled in Buchanan county, near Rushville. In 1867, he moved to Nodaway county, White Cloud township, where he industriously improved a large farm and reared his children to noble manhood and womanhood.
Five out of the nine children born to him are now living: George A. [ndrew], a son by his first wife; John W. and Daniel W.; Sarah S. and Martha A., all of whom are living in Nodaway county except Sarah who recently moved with her family to California. There are also fourteen grandchildren, five great grandchildren and an only surviving brother, left to look upon the vacant "Old Arm Chair."
It has been the privilege of the writer as a minister of Christ, to be intimately acquainted with Brother Jones and his family for about twenty years and it is with pleasure that I can record my testimony to the moral worth and large heartedness of "Uncle Billy Jones" as he was affectionately called. In him, the lone widow and desolate children were sure to find a "Friend indeed;" from him many a load of "wood, sack of flour or side of meat—and sometimes a whole hog found its way to the homes of needy ones, sending a ray of sunshine and good cheer to saddened and desponding hearts, thus bridging over the extremities through which they were passing.
Brother Jones in his young manhood gave his heart to God and united with the Baptist church. In 1871 he identified himself with the church of Christ. "Looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the great God, our Savior, Jesus Christ," hence, he was known as an Adventist and became the senior deacon of the Advent Christian church of Maryville. Five years ago he with several others thought it best, without relinquishing their distinctive faith to place his membership in the Christian church of this city with which as an honored and respected member continued until the time of his death.
The funeral services were held in the White Cloud Baptist church, the writer assisted by the Rev. M. Chilam, officiating after which the Masonic Brotherhood laid him away to rest by the side of his loved Catherine.

An Old Citizen Gone. William A. Jones, of Burlington Junction, Passes Away.
It is with regret that we chronicle the death of one of Nodaway's most respected citizens, William A. Jones, of Nodaway township. Mr. Jones has been in feeble health for some years but has seemed better this year than common. Last Wednesday his old complaint, inflammation of the bladder, assumed a serious form and soon extended to the kidneys. The doctor gave no hope from the first. He lingered until Sunday at 8 o'clock a. m., when he passed peacefully away. He was conscious most of the time and knew all about him. For him death had no terrors. For years he had been a devout member of the M. E. church and was a sincere Christian. His funeral was preached at his residence by Rev. Enyart, pastor of the M. E. church at Burlington Junction, to a large and sorrowing audience. His remains were laid at rest in the cemetery near Burlington Junction and all that was mortal of William A. Jones was forever hid from view. Mr. Jones was born in Ross county, Ohio, on Dec. 28, 1818. Here he grew to manhood. In 1842 he went to Pike county, Ohio. On February 27, 1845, he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Foster. From this union there has been eight children, seven of them still living and all residents of Nodaway county. They are Mrs. M. Ritenour, Mrs. L. C. Evans, Mrs. James Mitchell, Mrs J. W. Montgomery, J. Wesley Jones, and Sue and Carrie, unmarried and at home. Mrs. Jones also survives to mourn the loss of her husband, who has walked by her side for forty years.
Mr. Jones was a citizen most highly esteemed and a man of fine ability.
He represented this county in the legislature from 1866 to 1870 and was one of the most influential members of the house.
As a citizen he was above reproach, as a father and husband beloved and honored. His children will ever hold in reverence his name. His work on earth is done but his influence will live forever.

H. H. Joy Passes Away
Came Here From Wisconsin and Taken Back For Burial.
Had Lived Here But a Short Time—Leaves Wife and Number of Children to Mourn His Loss—Was Native of Ohio.
Not many people in so short a residence in our city have won their way in love and deservedly high esteem as have Harvey H. Joy and his splendid wife, Martha E. Joy, and it was with sorrow that the word passed from friend to friend that at five o'clock on Saturday afternoon Mr. Joy had passed from this earth to the home above. Harvey Hamlin Joy was one of those men of splendid mentally, high ideals, unselfish and unassuming, whom it is a pleasure to know. He was born on April 25, 1844, and died January 23, at his home in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where he has lived for the past four years, coming here from Chautauqua Springs, Kan., where he traded property for a home in this city on account of educational advantages, his son, B. Norwood Joy, entering I. W. U. and Fred W. a student in High School.
Harvey H. Joy was married to Martha E. Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Miller, an attorney at Skidmore, Mo., on October 28, 1886. They have made their home at Monta Vista, Colo., Maryville, Skidmore and Ravenwood, Mo., having a wide experience as a merchant and banker in these cities, establishing the Platte Valley Bank at Ravenwood, Mo., in 1892. His heath entirely failed him, and he drove across the country when he came here, hoping the overland trip would be a benefit but he had been an invalid during his residence among us. He was a member of the Woodmen of the World and Masonic orders and an old solder, a member of Company I, First Reg. Ohio Heavy Artillery, serving through the war until his discharge at Knoxville, Tenn., on July 26, 1865. The members of McFarland Post were very attentive to him, and he became a member here. The funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon at three o'clock in charge of Rev. Thomas Osborn, whose words were most comforting. The closing service was under the auspices of the G. A. R.
Harvey H. Joy is survived by his beloved wife and family of four sons and one daughter to whom he has given the best advantages, Raymond L. Joy, a lawyer, who has been in the government employ for years, living in Washington, D. C.; Francis E. Joy in the government service, having charge of an engineering crew at Isleta, New Mexico; B. Norwood Joy of I. W. U., now located at Hays, Mont.; Fred W., a student in our High School, and Mabel M. Church of Lamar, Colo., who has made many friends during her several months' visit here, helping care for her father. The remains were taken this morning to the old home at Ravenwood, Mo. for interment in the family lot in the I. O. O. F. cemetery.
"How living are the dead!
       Enshrined, but not apart,
How safe, within the heart
        We hold them still—our dead—

Sudden Death. Mrs. Harvey Joy Falls Dead From Heart Disease.
From Skidmore comes the painful news of the sudden death of Mrs. Harvey Joy, the wife of the postmaster of that place. Mrs. Joy was a delicate woman, yet not a sickly one. She was told by her physician, Dr. Chas. Impey, some time ago, that her heart was affected.
Last Friday she arose in her usual health, attended to her household duties and then went down to the post office and helped her husband in the distribution of the mail. She then went back to attend to her household duties. A little after ten o'clock she sent her little girl about seven years of age into the kitchen to do something and herself went into the bedroom. The little girl soon heard a noise in the bedroom like something falling and called to her mother, but receiving no answer, became frightened and ran out for her father. He hurriedly came and to his horror found his wife lying on the floor of the bedroom, dead. A physician was summoned but he could only confirm the dreadful fears of the stricken family.
Mrs. Joy was brought to Maryville and interred in Miriam cemetery, where her mother is buried. Mrs. Joy's maiden name was Mary Bently, she being a daughter of Judge Amos Bently of this county. Judge Bently is in Ohio visiting and could not be reached. The funeral service of Mrs. Joy will be preached at Skidmore on September 13th.
Mrs. Joy leaves two children, a boy eleven years of age and a little girl seven years old. Two children have preceded her to the better land. She was of a lively disposition and a great favorite with all of her friends. The suddenness of her death has almost crushed her husband. She was a loving and devoted wife, a true Christian and a noble woman. To those left behind to mourn we extend our deepest sympathy.

[KELLEY, ANNA M. HUDSON]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, June 19, 1884
Obituary. – The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Anna M. Kelley, was born in Illinois, July 4, 1864. At about the age of six years, her parents Eli M. and Margaret Hudson, emigrated to Nodaway county, Mo., and settled on the Elkhorn creek, where Mr. Hudson died some four years since. The writer of this has been personally acquainted with Anna for some 12 years. We have seen her a bright, romping little girl, around the family circle; we have seen her in the school room, a close student; we have seen her on the play grounds a sprightly, happy romping girl. Our children and Anna were warm and affectionate friends. O, could we but draw the curtains right here. A few years since we saw her prostrated on a sick bed, a patient and dutiful child, suffering severely without a murmur, until she was restored to health. She grew to womanhood. On October 7, 1881, Howard Kelley led Anna M. Hudson to the bridal altar. He promised to protect her as long as they both lived. She was rather a slender, delicate woman, of some 17 years. On October 13, 1882, to them a boy, Charlie, was born. A little over two months ago, she was prostrated on a bed of death. She had suffered most of her life with bronchitis. Her last sickness was pleuro-pneumonia of a violent form. On May 13, 1884, she gave birth to a little girl babe, it only living eight hours, at which time she was reduced to a mere skeleton and for a short time her many friends anxiously looked for her recovery. All that kind hands and loving friends could do, was done; although a mere skeleton, her mind was strong and clear till the end, as kind friends gathered around her dying couch at the hour of 8 o'clock, on Thursday evening, June 12, 1884, she calmly closed her eyes in death without a struggle or a groan. We say to her husband and little motherless boy and her aged mother, brothers, and sisters, her gentle voice on earth you will hear no more. Her noble form is stilled forever in death and her spirit has taken its flight to another and better world, we trust. On Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock her funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Croft, the Missionary Baptist, and her remains were laid to rest in the Grove cemetery. The following lines were composed by her youngest sister Ella:
   Another earthly chord is severed,
Another last good-bye been said,
   Another in the home-fold gathered,
Another numbered with the dead.

    A loving wife and tender mother,
An earnest Christian, loving friend,
   Who struggled on three years of suffering,
Was kind and patient to the end.

   Through her long and lingering illness,
No complaint she ever spoke,
   Thanking God that He had paid her
On each morn as she awoke.

UPPER ELKHORN – We spoke in last week's items as to Mrs. Howard Kelley being very low with plural pneumonia. On last Tuesday evening she gave birth to a little girl babe which only lived seven or eight hours and died. Mrs. Kelley is reduced to a mere skeleton but she is on the mend slowly, and strong hopes are entertained that she will recover.

A Good Woman Gone. Death of Mrs. E. P. Knabb.
On Monday morning just as the first rays of the sun were brightening the earth there passed from life unto death a true and noble woman, Mary Ann Knabb, wife of E. [noch] P. Knabb.
