Lexington Intelligencer (Lexington, Missouri), Saturday, March 29, 1884
---In Lexington, on the 22d of March, Dr. Magnus W. Tate.
He was born on the 21st of January 1810, near Charleston, Jefferson county, Virginia. About 1838 he came to Illinois, thence to Missouri, first locating in Miller county and finally in Saline in 1840, near Miami.
He was a man of untarnished honor, amiable, scrupulously sincere and possessing in a large degree the rare trait of moral courage—fearing not the face of man where principle was involved. His death was from a stroke of apoplexy which attacked him as he came from the supper table on the 20th and about midnight he seemed to speak with difficulty, and sank into a deep sleep from which it was impossible to rouse him; and so he gently passed to the presence of his Maker. Though the summons was sudden, it found him not unprepared. For many years he had trusted in the merits and righteousness of Another, but during the last year—especially in the last few days of his life—as "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh," he seemed greatly interested in religious matters, conversing with friends about the vanity of earthly things and his hopes of the future. Ripe in years, full of hope, leaving behind a beautiful example of integrity and piety, his wife and children and all who knew him can rest assured that he has gone to his reward.

LAMAR STATION – Mrs. Hiram Taylor of Elmo, who has been an intense sufferer from cancer of the breast the last two or three years, quietly and peacefully passed through the curtain of death, which hides that heavenly land from ours, on the evening of Oct. 27. The clouds hung over the earth like a pall and was fast dropping their tears as if in sympathy with the weeping family who stood around the death bed of their loved one. She was tenderly loved. Mr. Taylor has spent most all his means and never let her want for one thing money could purchase and was untiring in his devotions to her night and day. Mrs. Taylor's maiden name was Addie Hatkins [Hoskins]. She was married to her now bereaved husband June 8, 1862, in eastern Iowa and in Nov. 1872 they were called upon to give up in death a sweet little daughter of nine summers and a lovely little boy of four. Soon after that loss they moved to this neighborhood. But Mrs. Taylor never ceased mourning for her children. She was a member of the Baptist church. Her remains were followed to the Seavers cemetery by a large procession of sorrowing friends and relatives and laid to rest where she sleeps until the Lord will come to make up his jewels. Devotional exercises at the grave by Rev. McElwee of the church of God and benediction by Rev. A. M. Wallace. A funeral sermon will be preached at some future time. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Harvey Williams, of Elmo, and Carrie, a little girl of twelve years, four sisters and one brother of western Iowa. Said Mrs. Sutton, her weeping sister, at the funeral, "We were a band of six children and Addie is the first to go" Mr. and Mrs. Stratton and Miss Beech of Maryville, Mrs. Burdick and Mrs. Hiram Hamlin, from below Quitman and Mrs. Burdick from Burling Junction were in attendance at her funeral. Mrs. Taylor died at the age of forty-six.

--A little two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lew Taylor, who lives five miles northwest of Hopkins, died on Monday morning at ten o'clock under very distressing circumstances. The boy had been put to bed upstairs in the house with another child on Sunday night, a light being left burning at the head of the bed and a match lying on the chair beside the light. Sometime after the child was heard screaming and on hastening to the room its clothes were found to be on fire and before they could be extinguished it was badly burned in the side, breast and back. Dr. Cadwallader was called and gave the little sufferer such attention as was possible, but it died the following morning as stated. It is thought that the child attempted to light the match and dropped it on his night clothes. The funeral took place on Tuesday, the remains being interred in the Hopkins cemetery. – Hopkins Journal.

--Hopkins Herald: A horrible accident occurred at the house of Mr. Lewis Taylor, living three or four miles northwest of Hopkins last Sunday evening, in which a little boy of Mr. Taylor's was burned to death. The mother of the child put him and his little sister to bed in the evening and left the lamp burning in the room and some matches lying beside the lamp. It seems that the little boy got to lighting the matches by the lamp and while engaged in the sport his clothing took fire and before his parents could get to him and extinguish the flames, the little fellow as so horribly burned that he died about 7 o'clock a. m. the next day. The parents have the sincere sympathy of the community in their sad affliction.

[TEESE, GEORGE FREDERICK]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, May 7, 1891
LAMAR STATION – The Death Angel came near 4 o'clock Saturday morning, May 2d, and set the tired spirit of George F. [redrick] Teese free. He is gone over the river of Death.
He was never a very healthy man. The last two years he failed rapidly. Since the first of January he has been confined to the house. Neighbors were kind and did everything they could for his comfort.
John M. Lamar and wife fixed up many nice dishes to tempt his failing appetite and brought them through mud and snow.
Robert T. Lamar killed ducks and his wife cooked them to a turn and many other good dishes and sent them in.
Marcus Barclay and wife furnished many good things to eat and drink, hoping to do him good.
His stepson, Nathan G. M. Davis and family were untiring in their devotion to his every want.
Dr. Gaugh, of Clermont, called several times to see him. He would say after the doctor had come: Ah, that is a good Christian gentleman."
Rev. Simes came often through the worst of roads from Clermont to offer spiritual consolation and kindness to the dying brother in the church.
George F. Teese was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, February 28, 1835, was a graduate of Philadelphia Central High School. A thorough druggist and an educated musician. When about twenty years of age he went to St. Louis and entered the wholesale drug store of Barnard, Adams & Co. Then two years later he embarked in the drug business in Nebraska City. In 1861 he came to this part of Nodaway county, Missouri, and, because of his failing health, went to farming. That kind of life seemed to do him good. He was much better on a farm than on a drug store and part of the time enjoyed life hugely. He loved good music above all things on earth. Near three weeks before he died Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Harris, Mrs. Dr. Gaugh, Mr. and Mrs. Boss Knoble and Miss Eva Harris came over from Clermont and played and sang some sweet music for which he was very grateful.
An honest, upright man, a true Christian, and a fond, loving husband is gone. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Anna L. Fries and Mrs. Harriet J. Lewis, of Philadelphia, and a grief stricken wife here.
His funeral took place Sunday afternoon in the M. E. church in Clearmont. The church was beautifully draped in mourning; the music was grand, the sermon by Rev. Sims one of the best, the congregation very large. The remains were laid to rest in Clearmont cemetery where he sleeps until the angel Gabriel shall stand with one foot on the land and the other upon the sea, and declare that time shall be no more, and the Lord will come to make up his jewels. Then we expect to spend all eternity with him in a fairer clime than this, never to part no more.
Thank God for the consolation of religion.  His Wife.

Death of Mrs. Rhoda Teese
Pioneer Resident of Nodaway County Passed Away Tuesday.
Nodaway county lost one of its pioneer residents in the death Tuesday morning of Mrs. Rhoda Teese, known far and wide as "Aunt Rhoda" Teese.
Mrs. Teese was the wife of George F. [rederick] Teese and the two came to Nodaway county January 5, 1861.
They settled on a farm three miles west of Clearmont and this place was the home of Mrs. Teese until the time of her death.
Her husband died some fifteen years ago, leaving the wife with but one child—N. G. M. Davis, a son by a former marriage.
Mrs. Teese was familiar with events in Nodaway county's history during the past forty-five years and often spoke and wrote of the experiences of the pioneers whom she knew in the northwestern part of the county.

[TEESE, RHODA ANN MCNATT DAVIS]

--Mrs. Rhoda A. Teese, "Aunt Rhoda," for many years a valued correspondent of the Republican, until she was compelled to stop on account of the infirmities of age, died at 6:30 Tuesday morning. April 25, 1905, Monday. She was about as well and hearty as usual. The funeral was held Thursday forenoon at Clearmont.

[TEESE, RHODA ANN MCNATT DAVIS]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, May 4, 1905
Died at her home in Lincoln township, east of Elmo, Nodaway county, Missouri, at 8 o'clock a. m. Tuesday, April 25, 1905, Mrs. Rhoda A. Teese, aged 79 years, 6 months and 20 days.
Rhoda Ann McNatt was born in Jefferson county, Tennessee, October 5, 1825. She was the daughter of Nathan and Mary (Riggs) McNatt. Her parents moved when she was five years old to Indiana. Here at the age of nine she was converted and joined the M. E. church, of which she ever remained a consistent member.
Before she was fully grown the family moved to Iowa, settling near Ashland in Wapello county. Here she was married on February 28, 1847, to Emanuel Davis and in the early '50s her mother died there. To this marriage were born two children—Mary Elizabeth, who died at the age of three years and Nathan G. M. Davis, who, with his wife and four children, survive her.
Emanuel Davis and family settled in Nodaway county in January 1861, near where she died. Mr. Davis was a strong Union man and raised a company of men of which he was captain for some time.
June 25, 1868, Mrs. Davis was married, second, to George F. Teese. Mr. Teese died about 1890, since which time she has lived alone most of the time, preferring that to living with her family, simply on account of being independent.
Her father, Nathan McNatt, was murdered in 1869 on the Marais Des Cygnes river in Kansas, supposedly by the Alexander Tansy who was lynched in Atchison township in 1872.
Her last words were: "If this is death, I want all to know I die a Christian." Her funeral services were held Thursday in the M. E. church at Clearmont, conducted by Rev. J. J. Henley, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Clearmont cemetery.
It has been the privilege of the editor of the Republican to know "Aunt Rhoda" for about 30 years. During a portion of that time, she wrote almost weekly for this paper under the above signature, and it is no exaggeration to state that her letters were eagerly looked for by hundreds of readers who knew nothing else of her but her name. She had a wonderful memory and she delighted in reminiscence, which traits had largely to do with the interesting character of her letters. She delighted in saying good of people and was extremely careful about saying anything else. For years her life like notices of old settlers, tributes to those who passed away, and admonitions to those remaining were eagerly looked for at this office. And when, about a year ago, she wrote that the infirmities of age would prevent her writing more, and at the same time wished the Republican "God speed," it was like giving up a cherished friend.
Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds
   Were in her very look;
We read her face as one who reads
   A true and holy book.

Oh what a sad hour to the young sister.

Mr. Tippie had made his home with a daughter, Mrs. John Palmer, for a number of years. Apparently as well as usual, he left the house Monday morning to do chores. When he did not return as soon as was his custom, his daughter went in search of him and found him near the house, dying.
Mr. Tippie was born October 11, 1840, in Coshocton county, Ohio. He was united in marriage on August 8, 1866, to Nancy J. Beall, who died May 28, 1915.
Five children were born. Only two are living, George Tippie and Mrs. Lucy L. Palmer, both of Hopkins. He is survived by four grandchildren, Ashbell Palmer, Maryville; Ella Brogan and Alva Tippie of Hopkins; and Mrs. Bertha Burns, Keithsburg, Ill. Great grandchildren are Laverna and Orlie Palmer, Maryville; Dwight, Bertha, Leta Mae and Junior Brogan of Hopkins. A nephew, Edwin Allison, lives in the vicinity of Bedford. Mr. Tippie was the oldest of 18 children. His brothers and sisters living are John M. Tippie, Chauncey, Ohio; Marion Tippie, Athens, Ohio; Rebecca Haning, Athens, Ohio; Barbara Misner, Centralia, Wash.; Emma Farrow, Birmingham, Alabama; Hattie Karnes, Chauncey, Ohio.
He enlisted in the civil war Oct. 23rd, 1861, and was honorably discharged Oct. 23, 1864. He joined the Baptist church at Bedford, Dec. 24, 1866, and later transferred his membership to the Baptist church at Hopkins, where he remained a member until his death. Uncle Jim as he was so often called, was true to his church and fellowmen, always ready to do anything for the upbuilding of Christianity.

UPPER ELKHORN – Sorry to note the sudden and unexpected death of Miss Hettie Tracy. She died on last Friday a little before noon, aged about twenty years. She was a fine stout looking young lady and no fears as to her death were entertained till a few days before her death. "In the midst of life we are in death." The sad stroke falls heavy on her parents, brother and sister.

UPPER ELKHORN – Last Saturday while in your city Miss Izora Updegraph informed me that she had just came, in company with her pa from Graham, where they had been to attend the funeral of Mrs. Prince Trap on Friday. We feel sorry for the young husband. Addie was one of our citizens of Upper Elkhorn a few years ago, a fine, bright, lively girl, full of life and hope. But what a sad change those short years has made in that family since little Eddie, a bright little boy fell a victim to death at Graham. Sally Wyman, one of our foremost teachers fell a victim to that dread disease consumption. Likewise father Wyman in a short time and next in a few short months, Helen, a fine teacher and a noble woman, late wife of our popular probate judge Ed. Vinsonhaler. And now we again hear the sad news, Addie too has fallen a victim to dread consumption of which she has suffered long and severe. Only one of that family survive, Dr. R. Wyman, of Maitland, Mo., but we must submit to the will of Him who said, "Come unto me all that are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Mrs. Trapp was a Wyman.

At Rest. Death of Adele E. Trapp.
How strangely varied are the paths of life. Bright hopes of the morning are soon enshrouded in the darkness of night. Sleep, the emblem of death kisses down the eyelids still, where the trials and disappointments of the day are lost in slumber until the brightness of the morning calls us to light and hope again—fit emblem of death—the resurrection and life to come.
Such were our thoughts when we learned of the death of Adele E. Wyman Trapp, who was born in Blandinsville, Illinois, November 14, 1854 and departed this life January 16, 1884. Her life, indeed, has been a checkered one. We are carried back words missing] past, when she was a child in her mother's arms and have witnessed her many trials as well as joys in life. while in tender childhood her Christian mother was called hence and she was left to the care of her father and two elder sisters, who had the care and training of her and well were the duties duly performed. In this vicinity she grew to womanhood. Ever kind and courteous, she won the esteem and love of all with whom she became acquainted. She was endowed with all the gifts and graces that constitutes the true woman, ever scattering sunshine, and doing deeds of kindness to the oppressed and bowed down of earth's sorrowing ones.
On the 11th of November 1877 she was led to the bridal altar by Prince L. [ucius] Trapp. This union proved a happy one. Smoothly they trod life's journey together until God called her from the toils, trials and temptations of earth to her triumphant reward beyond the cold Jordan. Of this union three sons were born, viz: Cereno C.[lyde], December 8, 1878; Demas R. [oddam], January 17, 1880; and Edwin Wyman, June 11, 1881. These are left to the care of the bereaved husband, under the guidance of Him who notes the falling of a sparrow.
About two years ago, her health commenced failing, although her sickness was not of a dangerous character, yet her friends felt anxious about her, as her younger brother had been called hence after a brief illness in 1875. In 1874 her father crossed the cold Jordan to his reward on high. In June 1881, her sister Helen E., as her sister Sarah had been taken by the fell destroyer—consumption—to that cloudless haven above. However, she rallied from that time forward. She suffered more or less until November 10, 1883, when she took her bed and gradually faded away. On January 5th, she was paralyzed on the left side. During her last sickness, her suffering was great, yet she bore it all with Christian fortitude. She was nurtured by a Christian mother and was a true believer, but made profession July 20, 1883, when she was buried in baptism by Elder Kibby and rose to walk in newness of life.
She fully realized her condition but expected death would not come so soon. Said she would gladly give up earth, were it not for the dear little boys and her husband, that the longer she lived with him, the better she loved and the harder it was to part with him.
On the morning of her death, she asked if she was dying; called to her mother-in-law and requested her to live with her husband and help take care of her children. Told her husband "to always keep the children together and let them and mother be his first care and look to God for help in all trials." In the afternoon she called Georgia, her female attendant, thanked her for her kindness to her and children, kissed her; kissed all and bade them farewell. Shortly before she died, she called her brother Russ, he being absent, asked if they could see him coming. Just as the sun kissed the treetops, as it passed down the western horizon, her pure spirit quit the clay tenement and crossed the cold Jordan. Although there was darkness, sorrow, and weeping on this side of the river, she had put on immortality and was with God and the angels on the other shore. . . .

He has the sympathy of all in his affliction.

The business was conducted under the name of M. M. Rhoades Lumber Company, until June 1904, when Mr. Trapp bought the entire interests and at that time formed a partnership with his son, Clyde C. Trapp, under the firm name of P.L. Trapp & Son. Mr. Trapp and his son sold the lumber yard a few years ago, Mr. Trapp moving to Boulder, Colo., and his son, Clyde, moving to Wichita, Kansas.

Sad Accident. John Wagner Drowned.
A sad accident happened seven miles south of Maryville on Sunday evening. The White Cloud being very high, back water had backed up from it into a ravine. In this ravine John Wagner, a young man seventeen or eighteen years of age had gone bathing in the morning. About five o'clock in the afternoon, John, in company with a smaller boy named Griffeth went down to the ravine and John said he was going in bathing again. Griffeth tried to dissuade him saying that the water had greatly risen and that it was deeper than he thought. But nothing daunted, John undressed and jumped in. Griffeth states that all he saw of him afterward was his hand reached up out of the water. Whether he was attacked with cramp or became entangled in something at the bottom is not known, but he never came up. Young Griffeth at once gave the alarm and the neighbors gathered and a thorough search was made for the body. But it was not found until two o'clock at night when the water had sufficiently receded to disclose it. John was the son of Peter Wagner.

"Thy dead men shall live, together with my dad body shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust, for thy dew is as the dew of herbs and the earth shall cast out the dead."

At Rest.
Mrs. Laura Warden passes away to the better land. After eleven weeks of suffering Laura passed into the land of perfect rest, Wednesday evening, September 23, 1885. She died at her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Harry in Sweet Home. She was seventeen years, eleven months and one day old when she died. She was married to Y. A. Warden, August 13, 1884, and they united with the Christian church a few weeks after they were married.
She took sick at her home, during that that time was able to visit her parents and notwithstanding the best medical treatment and nursing, she gradually grew worse and all hope was despaired of. Laura was a bright girl, loving and dutiful wife. Before her death she called her relations one by one, taking each by the hand and bade them an affectionate farewell and requested that they should prepare themselves to meet her in that world beyond. She died with the puerperal fever. She leaves a devoted husband, father, mother and seven sisters to mourn her loss, whose sorrows are only relieved by hope in Christ. But death loves a shining mark and all who knew her are bowed in grief over her untimely end. She was a universal favorite with all who knew her. Her remains were followed to the Monroe church by a large concourse of her sorrowing neighbors and friends and tenderly laid to rest. Rev. McMullin conducted the services. It is hard to think that one so young must die; that all that is near and dear here on earth must be parted. Her husband and relatives have the sympathy of the whole community.

R. P. Weaver. He Joins the Great Host Over the River
On last Tuesday when word came that R. [euben] P. Weaver had gone the way of all the earth, none was surprised for his death had been expected for some days. Mr. Weaver has been in very poor health for years and it has been a matter of wonderment to his friends that he lived as long as he did. But he was a man of indomitable energy and will power, which kept him up. He took his bed about ten days ago and it was soon seen that his struggle for life was about over. But he lingered until Tuesday when he passed peacefully away, in the full possession of his faculties and content to die.
His funeral took place Wednesday afternoon, at his residence and was largely attended, Rev. Canaday officiating. The pall bearers were John A. Smith, Thos. Hughes, Nicholas Sturm, Moses Nusbaum and John and Edward Signs. Being a member of the A. O. U. W. he was buried under the auspices of that order. He was also a member of the G. A. R. and Sedgwick Post was out in force. He was also a Mason in good standing.
The direct cause of Mr. Weaver's death was chronic diarrhea.
Mr. Weaver was born in Tuscarawas county, Ohio on July 29, 1838. He came to Nodaway county when a young man of twenty and settled on a farm three miles west of Barnard. He enlisted in Company K, 36th Reg't M. S. M., but was soon discharged for disability. He remained on the farm until 1868 when he came to Maryville and became one of the grocery firm of Evans, Weaver & Ham. In 1872 he engaged in the dry goods business but in 1874 gave it up for the clothing business, in which he continued ever since.
On December 31, 1863, Mr. Weaver was united in marriage to Martha Jane Baker, a daughter of William Baker. By her he has a family of eight children, all alive. He also leaves an aged mother.
Mr. Weaver leaves a policy in the Masonic Mutual Company for $3000 which will net about $2600 and one in the A. O. U.W. for $2000.
Mr. Weaver was an energetic man of business, a public spirited citizen and a kind husband and father.
For years he has been a great sufferer but now he is at rest on the other shore. May the God of the widow and the fatherless comfort those to whom his loss is almost too heavy to be borne.

Death of Sarah T. Weaver.
On last Sabbath, Sarah T. Weaver, the mother of Clark Weaver of this city, lay down the burden of life and passed to her reward. She had lived more than the three score and ten years allotted to man, being seventy-three years of age at the time of her death. She died at the residence of her son Frank, who resides four miles southwest of Barnard.
Those who saw Mrs. Weaver weeping over the remains of her son Reuben P., who died in in this city a short time since, felt she was not long for this world, but did not think she would follow him so soon to the unseen world. But the shock of his death together with old age proved too much for her feeble constitution and she went to join her loved ones in the world where there is no pain or death.
Mrs. Weaver was born in New Lisbon, Columbiana county, Ohio. She moved to Nodaway county in 1858. Her husband, Delos Weaver died in 1861. She was the mother of twelve children of whom nine are dead. The living are Clark Weaver of this city, Frank Weaver and Mrs. Emily Walters of Omaha, Neb. Mrs. Weaver was buried in the Baker cemetery, beside her husband. To Mrs. Weaver death was gain. For fifty years she had been a devoted member of the M. E. church and died in the full hope of a blessed immortality. Her funeral was preached by the Rev. A. K. Miller. She was a kind wife and devoted mother and her life's work had been well done. She now rests from her labors and has joined the loved ones gone before.

--From Capt. T. L. Howden who called on us last Wednesday we learned of the sudden death of Isaac A. Wheeler, an old resident of Union Valley, near Skidmore. The old gentleman had been in feeble health for some time but had not been bedfast. He occupied a small house in the yard of his farm which he had rented and lived quietly by himself. The tenant noticing that he had not arisen about noon one day, went to his room and peering in saw the form of the old man sitting upright in his chair, but still in death. Squire Howden was notified and summoning a jury repaired to the residence of the dead man and after hearing evidence, returned a verdict that Mr. Wheeler came to his death from general debility. He has married children residing in the county, all industrious and good citizens.

Word came to this city last evening of the death of Mrs. Ada Whitmore, wife of Charles E. Whitmore, of Boston. Her death occurred at Brainard, Minn., where she had been for some months in the hope of improvement. She had suffered lung disease for a long time but even lately her condition was not considered very serious. She was with her relatives here last summer for a short time and bade her many friends a good-bye then, foreseeing the certain end of her malady.
Mrs. Whitmore was a daughter of the late Samuel Holmes, one of the pioneers of this city and was a niece of Governor Wood. She was a sister of Mrs. Will Whitmore, Mrs. Ed Hurlbut and Mrs. Cherry.
She was one of the loveliest of women, incomparable wife and mother, and was gifted with many rare traits of heart and mind. Her death falls heavily upon that large circle that knew and loved her and the husband and children have the sympathy of the community. – Quincy, (Ill.) Evening News.

Whitmore, of Boston, which event occurred at Brainard, Minn., yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Whitmore had been in failing health for some time and had gone to Minnesota in the hope of finding relief. Her condition had not been considered dangerous, however, and her death will be a sudden and trying affliction. Mrs. Whitmore was a daughter of Mr. Samuel Holmes, and was a niece of the late ex-Gov. Wood. She was born in this city, was married here, and made Quincey her home until a few years ago when her husband removed to Boston. A lady of rare accomplishments, broad charities and enduring Christianity, her death will be profoundly lamented by the people of Quincy generally."

Released From Suffering. Death of Mrs. Margaret Wills.
On Monday night, Mrs. Margaret Wills (col), who has been suffering from that dread malady, cancer, sank to rest. She has been afflicted over two years; has been operated on time and time again and for the past month has been very low, suffering untold agonies. She has lingered at the very verge of the grave for months, but death has at last kindly released her from her sufferings.
Aunt Margaret as she was familiarly called, was known to almost every man, woman and child in Maryville. She was true, honest and kind and greatly respected by those who knew her worth. She was a sincere member of the A. M. E. church and greatly longed to be released from pain and be at rest. Her funeral took place Wednesday. Aunt Margaret before the war was owned by the Howards, of Howard mill and she always retained the most kindly feelings for her old master. Aunt Margaret, although humble in life and station, performed her life's duties far better than thousands who wear purple and fine linen and in the beyond her reward will be greater, her crown brighter. He who turned away not the least ones of earth will welcome her there.

Gone To His Rest. Death of George H. Wood.
Another of Nodaway county's oldest and most respected citizens has passed away. George H. Wood was born in Bracken county, Kentucky, December 20, 1818 and while yet small, his father moved to Highland county, Ohio and while George was yet but thirteen years of age, he emigrated with his parents, Wm. and Elizabeth Wood, moved to Edgar Co., Illinois where he lived to manhood. Honest and industrious and in the course of time he became acquainted with and married to Abagail Holms [Holmes], who proved to be a true and worthy helpmate, a kind and industrious mother of his children, three of which were born in Illinois. He moved to Nodaway county from the last mentioned place and settled on the Platte river, south of the State road and west of the river. In the year 1254 [1854], the country was little else than a vast stretch of wild prairie, only divided by narrow strips of timber. He had one yoke of oxen, a few household goods and fifty cents in money, when he first landed in Nodaway county but by honest toil and frugality he was soon the possessor of a good farm. He has bought and sold different tracts of land and as often moved but never left Nodaway county. He leaves five living children, having buried four—two in this county and two in Illinois. He was a man of amiable disposition, consequently was surrounded by a vast number of friends; but human friends and skill can only follow us to the grave. He was sick only fifteen days, when on January 14, 1884, he peacefully passed away and was followed by a large concourse of friends to Oak Hill cemetery and laid to rest. Peace to his dust.
We knew him as a soldier and knew him in the peaceful pursuits of life and in all conditions of his life he made the best of everything. God grant we may meet him again in Heaven. [Poem not transcribed.]   H. T. Wray.

Gone to Rest.
It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of one of our most esteemed and worthy citizens, Ruben Wood, who departed this life April 25th and was buried on the following day from the M. E. church and laid to rest in Miriam cemetery. Ruben Wood or "Father Wood" as he was known, was born in Woodstock, Virginia, in 1807, moved to Pittsburg, Pa., in 1829, from thence to Wellsville, Ohio, where in 1830 he married Mary Rice and during the year 1832 they united with the M. E. church, of which he was an honored member until the Master said "come up higher." In 1853 he moved to Jasper county, Mo. and remained there until the fall of 1861, when he was compelled to leave there on account of his strong Union sentiments. He went to Chariton, Iowa and the following April moved to Gentry county, Mo. Eleven years ago he moved to this place and all who knew him can but love and respect him.
There was borne to him twelve children, seven sons and five daughters, of whom just half survive him. Five sons and one daughter will welcome him on the other shore. He has held several offices of trust.
During his last sickness he was not alone. Christ, the all supporting one was there to shed rays of comfort and love. Although his body was racked with pain he would exclaim, "Bless the Lord, oh my soul!" The community has lost a worthy citizen, the wife a fond and loving husband and the children a kind father, and the church a faithful and earnest worker. To the bereaved widow we extend our sympathy.

Sudden Death of Dr. U. T. Woodbury Formerly of this City.
Dr. U. [riah] T. [ebow] Woodberry who it will be remembered lost his reason in this city about two years ago, received a paralytic stroke at his home in Savannah on Saturday, January 5, from which he died on the following Wednesday. The Savannah Reporter speaking of the sad affair says:
"Dr. U. [riah] T. [ebow] Woodbury, who with his wife has been living the house recently vacated by Rev. Joseph Lowe, while standing by the stove, last Saturday evening, about dark, fell over on the floor without warning of any kind, in the throes of a paralytic stroke. He passed through perhaps a dozen spasms but was unconscious from the time of the attack until the hour of his death, which was at 4 o'clock on Wednesday morning, January 9, 1884. He was buried yesterday morning, being followed to the grave by numerous friends. The wife of the deceased is a daughter of Mr. S. B. Buckley of this city."
The Doctor was a man of fine education and a hard student, his hobby being ancient history and the bible. His close application to this, coupled with the fact that he was not successful in business, undoubtedly caused his insanity. He was taken to the asylum at St. Joseph and afte a sojourn of two or three months he was pronounced cured and with his wife, took up residence in Savannah where we think they have resided ever since. The bereaved widow, who had many friends in this city, will learn with deep regret of her terrible misfortune.

The Angel of Death Calls for Minnie Wray
Death always cruel, seems doubly so when it calls for the young, the beautiful and the good. No death in our city for a long time has created more genuine sympathy than that of Minnie Wray, daughter of I. [saac] N. [ewton] and Sallie Wray. Minnie was just stepping into womanhood, not being quite sixteen at the time of her death. She was a lovable girl and her friends were legion. Among her school mates she was greatly beloved and in the social circle a general favorite. But it is at home that a great light has gone out forever. She was the eldest of quite a large family of children and thus not only a child but a companion and help mate to her mother.
She had been sick for the past four months, her sickness starting from a violent cold she took during the winter. All that love and skill could do was done but all of no avail; death claimed her for his bride and she was lost to earth.
The funeral took place Saturday at two o'clock P. M. from the family residence, Rev. J. M. Parker officiating. The gathering was large, and many were the tears shed over the dear form of the beautiful girl.
To the parents and near relatives the blow was a terrible one. Only from Him who took the daughter of Jarius by the hand and said, "Daughter," arise, can consolation come. Let us hope that in that bright land, where the still waters flow and tears never come, Minnie is far happier than ever here on earth. [Poem not transcribed.]

Minnie Wray – The flower of beauty and the star of love, modesty and virtue, rests in quiet sleep. But a few short days have passed when we met her on the way homeward and her face was a beam of beauty and her voice the ringing bell of cheerfulness and seeming gaiety. Little did we anticipate at that time that the angel of death would close her eyes so soon in that long sleep and touch her lips in death and fold her marble hands in peaceful rest and quietude. Death, so cold in thought, steals in our midst and plucks the beautiful flower of our garden. Minnie Wray, aged 15 years, 6 months and 5 days, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Wray, was gently laid away beneath the summer clay on Saturday, June 23d, 1883. Sad, sad the parting must be: yet let us strive to battle out this little span of life the best we can, so that when the golden bowl is broken at the fountain the missing link may be joined on the golden shores of eternity. Minnie Wray, the household light, respected by all that knew her, surrounded by numberless friends in the silver tide of womanhood, has left us sad and lonely. To her parents that loved her so well, we would ask as you look upon every flower of your household, remember that we all must die; and we in unison sympathize with you in this trying ordeal and will kiss a flower of purity in solemnity of love and drop it upon her grave in tenderness and in remembrance of Minnie.
The funeral services were held at the residence at 2 p. m., on Saturday, June 23d, conducted by Rev. J. M. Parker. Her remains were interred in Miriam cemetery. [Poem not transcribed.]

Death of "Aunt Sarah" Wray, Pioneer, At Advanced Age of 92

Her husband, John Wray, died in this county about twenty-five years ago. Since that time some one of Mrs. Wray's children have been living with her on the old home place continuously.
The names of the sons and daughters who are living are Mrs. Hester A. Green, Pickering; W. [illiam] W. [ashington] Wray, Golf, Ohio; I. [saac] N. [ewton] Wray, who lives on the home place; Mrs. Maggie Stewart, Savannah; H. [enry] T.[homas] Wray, J. [ames] Arthur Wray and Mrs. Jennie Conrad, Maryville, and Mrs. S. W. Wood, Bedford, Ia. S. K. Wray died three years ago at Hopkins and Henrietta and Leroy died in infancy.
Mrs. Wray and her husband came to Nodaway county in 1854 and settled on the farm where Mrs. Wray died and where they had lived during the entire time since coming here. She was born in Rockingham county, Va., July 27, 1811 and at the time of her death was from July to the present time past 92 years of age. Her maiden name was Sarah Wiseman and she married John Wray in Gallia county, Ohio. John Wray, her husband, was also born in Virginia, in Monroe county. They moved from Ohio to Henry county, Iowa, where they lived a short time before coming to Nodaway county. John Wray died at the old home place where Mrs. Wray died Saturday.
Grandmother Wray or "Aunt Sarah," as he was usually referred to in her neighborhood, was recognized by her friends and acquaintances as a woman of remarkable character and characteristics. One of her sons remarked Saturday that he could not remember of ever having seen her angry. Another relative said that the most striking recollection he had of her, dating back from his early infancy, was that he never heard anyone spoken of in a slighting or derogatory manner or the errors or wrongdoings of anyone mentioned in her presence that she did not defend the person spoken of, either excusing them for what they had done or suggesting that there might have been some reason or circumstance with which people generally were not acquainted.
Mrs. Wray retained her mental faculties until her last sickness, her recollection of earlier days and particularly of incidents pertaining to her own childhood, being remarkably distinct and her ability to tell those things being marked.
Her death was of the same peaceful character as her life. During her last sickness she was unconscious a great deal of the time and the closing act of her life was simply to drop to sleep.

--It is with sadness we chronicle the death of Miss Anna Young, daughter of L.[ogan] D. [avis] Young of this city. She was afflicted with that terrible disease, typhoid fever and after days of sickness died Monday morning. She was buried Tuesday at 3 o'clock P. M. Owing to the sickness of other members of the family, there were only religious services at the grave. Miss Anna was a young lady beloved by all who knew her, and her death will be a heavy blow not only to the afflicted family but to her numerous acquaintances and the community. Mr. Young's family has been terribly afflicted during the past few weeks. No less than four members have had the typhoid fever. Mr. Young himself is just recovering from a severe attack. Another daughter, a young lady, is lying very sick at this writing and a son is convalescent from the same disease. The stricken family has the sympathy of all, and it is to be hoped those now sick will recover.

From the Nodaway Democrat.
Died, at Quitman, Nodaway county, Missouri, Mrs. Caroline Young, nee Barnett, wife of L. [ogan] D. [avis] Young, Esq.
Mrs. Young was born in Madison county, Kentucky, July 29th, 1821 and died March 19th, 1896, aged seventy-four years, seven months and twenty days. She was married to L.[ogan] D. [avis] Young in Jessamine county, Kentucky, September 8th, 1842. To them were born eleven children, of whom six are still living—four sons and two daughters, all of whom were present at her funeral. Of the dead four were taken in infancy and one in mature womanhood.
The last few years of Mrs. Young's life were years of great physical pain and suffering; yet she retained to a remarkable degree, under the circumstances, her mental powers to the last. Death, however, came to her release. The tired, weary, burdened soul has entered into rest in the presence of its Savior and God. The weak emaciated body sleeps beside the remains of the daughter in the cemetery at Maryville, in the bosom of mother earth, awaiting the sound of the trumpet to awaken it, when that same body, which we consigned to the tomb as a natural body, in corruption, in dishonor and in weakness, shall come forth a spiritual body, in corruption, in glory and in power.
Her sons and daughters have made her Savior their Savior, and are walking, perhaps, with a min-step, here and there 'the narrow way' that leads to life. Her aged companion, now in his four score years, in much bodily weakness and infirmity, in awaiting hopefully the call from above life and rest. -- R.M. Rhodes.
Mrs. Young is the mother of Thomas Young of this city and is well known to everyone.
