Samuel Cossins was born at Greensburg, Decatur County, Indiana, July 24, 1846 and departed this life at his home in Sheridan, Mo, February 12th, 1924, after an illness of more than seven weeks. Aged 77 years, 6 months, 13 days. He was baptised and united with the Christian Church in his boyhood days.

He enlisted in Company K, 146 Ind Infantry in 1864 and served his country in her time of need until the close of the war. He was then united in marriage to Mary A. Denoon on July 28, 1867 and to them were born two children, Frances M., who died at the age of 32 years, and LaFayette, who lives at Burlinton, Colo.

Mrs Cossins died September 24, 1874.

On January 13, 1875 he was united in marriage to Sarrah L. Edmundson, and to them five children were born, Mrs Alta M. Barber, Melva J., who died Feb 2, 1901, Katie M. Straight, Mary Lela Coy and Dr Carlos E. who lives at Burlington Junction, all the others reside near Sheridan, Mo.

He is survived by his widow, his children, twenty-five grandchildren, and fifteen great grandchildren. One brother Charles, who lives at Morrisville, Mo, and three sisters, Nettie Hanaway, Edgerton, Mo, Mrs Amanda Clemons, Osborn, Kansas, and Susan Anderson, Cheyenne Wells, Colo, besides a host of friends.

It was the privelege of the writer to have known Mr Cossins for more than one year, as well as to have him for a near neighbor, and as such we can truthfully say that he was all that a neighbor should be, kind, and considerate, a man of not many words, but these seemed to be weighed before they were spoken.

Having been born in a generation that tried men's souls, and living along the border line between the north and south, it took courage, strength and descession of character to face the duties of life, so much so that we had hope he might recover but it was not to be and "The mourners, go about the streets."

The last sad rites were conducted at the Christian Church, by the writer, assisted by the Rev P.D. Kline pastor of the church and Rev L.A. Walker, of the Church of the Brethren, in the presence of more than two hundred people. The pall bearers, were chosen from his comrades of 61-65 and the Stars and Stripes for which many of these brave men laid down their lives, were carried at the head of the procession.

Sarah L. Cossins (Edmonson) was born in Yellville, Arkansas, August 16, 1853, and passed homeward to God, March 15, 1929.

She was 75 years, 6 months and 29 days of age.

In 1875 she was married to Samuel N. Cossins, and to this sacred union five children were born. They are: Alta May Barber and Lola Cox of Sheridan; Kate Straight of Bedford, Iowa; C.E. Cossins of Burlington Junction, Missouri; and John Melva who died Feb 2, 1902. The two step-children are: Lafe Cossins of Sheridan and Francis Anderson, deceased.

She leaves 25 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren, 2 brothers and 1 sister.

February 12, 1924, Samuel N. Cossins crossed the bar which all souls must pass.

Mrs Cossins was a member of the Sheridan Christian church for years past. This beautiful and patient life was perhaps begun in those early years that she acted as a guardian mother to her younger brothers and sisters; her father having been killed in the Civil War.

Contentment accompanied her to the departure.

The beautiful appealed to her and she saw goodness in all. Kind words were all she ever spoke of her neighbors. Her children rise up and call her blessed. All neighbors friends, and relatives join in the sorrow of this .... loss. Listen Jesus speaks: "That where I am there you may be also."

Funeral services were conducted from the Christian church on Saturday, March 16, 1929 by Rev Chas S. Campbell, pastor of the Methodist church, and interment was made in the Sheridan cemetery.

Music was furnished by a male quartet consisting of Ed Warren, J.A. Harris, J.H. Dye and W.O. Watson. Miss Jessie McLaughlin pianist.

JOE COLVIN KILLED.

A Fearful Railway Accident at Clearmont Wednesday Night.
Wednesday night, at a crossing just north of Clearmont, Mo., Joe Colvin, a young man whose home is near Clearmont, was run over and killed by the St. Joe passenger, north bound. Colvin, in company with a farmer by whom he was employed as farm hand, was on his way to Clearmont, both men riding horseback. As they crossed the railroad track ahead of the train, Colvin's employer preceded him across, both men believing that they were a safe distance ahead of the train. The next moment, however, Colvin's employer noticed that the horse which the young man was riding, had become frightened and was whirling about directly on the track, and the unfortunate young man was unable to get the horse under control. Both animal and rider were struck by the engine and carried some distance, the horse being killed instantly, and the young man suffering a fracture of the skull, which resulted in his death at 1 o'clock that night.
