Obituary of Mrs Jefferson Broyles

Beahm, James H. - James H. Beahm was born in Page county, Virginia, June 5, 1861; died in Harlan county, Nebraska, May 15, 1905, where he and his family had gone just two months ago in hope of improving his health, but of no avail for the dread disease, consumption had fastened its hold on him so firmly that nothing but death could alleviate his suffering, but to him death was sweet, as he was fully prepared to go. As he said to his friends, "I'm going to my Father's house where there are many mansions prepared for me." Several days before his death he called each of his brothers and sister to his bedside; he had something to say to them, which was a lecture for them to become Christians and prepare for death which is sure to come sooner or later to us all, and meet him in heaven.

The subject of this sketch came with his parents to Butler county, Nebraska, when ten years of age, where he was reared and educated, then he went to Thomas county, Kansas and improved two claims. From there to Nodway county, Missouri, where he was married to Miss Lizzie Lanning, of said county and state, January 1st, A.D., 1890. To this union were given five children, four daughters and one son, names as follows: Bessie, Laura, Ruth, Chesley and Marie. Wife and children remain in Nebraska, to mourn his departure. The deceased was an honest and honorable man, a good citizen and a true Christian, having been a follower of Christ for fourteen years, and died praising God as long as he could speak aloud, and then in whispers was heard to say "God bless them all."

The funeral was held from the M.E. Church in Ragan, Nebraska, May 17, at eleven o'clock, a.m., after which his remains were interred in the cemetery to await the judgment morning. [date Jun 26, 1905 written on clipping]

Stingley, Thomas - Thomas Stingley passed away at his home in the city Monday night. His death had been expected almost hourly for the past two weeks, and the tenacity with which the life lasted was a marvel to everybody.

The case of Thomas Stingley is an especially sad one. Those of our readers who remember him as a young man will recollect that he was possessed of a remarkably well developed physique, tall, broad shouldered and robust. Two years ago and six months ago while working on a high scaffolding, he fell a distance of about forty feet, dislocating one of the vertebra of the back and injuring the spinal cord. He was then living at Eugene, Oregon. The fall caused paralysis of his body below the point of injury and he has been as helpless as a child, suffering at times severe pain. All efforts for relief from medical skill were unavailing. Before his death he expressed his readiness to die, and hailed the Grim Reaper as a relief from his sufferings. The I.O.O.F. lodge at this place were very faithful in rendering assistance of every kind all through the period during which Brother Stingley was helpless.

Thomas U.G. Stingley was born in Nodaway county, Mo., July 6, 1863, and died at Sheridan, Mo., December 17, 1907, aged 44 years, 5 months, and 11 days.

He was married to Miss Wealtha A. Hibbs December 22, 1888. To this union were born seven children five of whom died in infancy. The two sons, Beryl and Joseph, the bereaved companion, numerous other relatives and friends survive to mourn his departure.

The funeral was conducted at Isadora Wednesday and interment made in the Isadora Cemetery. The Sheridan I.O.O.F. Lodge officiated at the funeral service Rev Wood of Blockton preaching the sermon.
