[Beinert, Anna Henriette Ackermann] Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri) Thursday June 21, 1894 [p. 1] DIED It is with a feeling of sadness that we are called upon to chronicle the death of Mrs. A. [lbert] F. [riederich] Beinert [Anna Henriette Ackermann], which took place at the family residence in this city on Friday afternoon, June 15, ’94, after a short but painful sickness---lung trouble being the principal cause. During all her intense suffering, she stood it without complaint, like a true woman that she was, and when she found that she must die, accepted the inevitable without a murmur, with a request that her two little children should be carefully watched over. Short services were held at the house Saturday by Rev. Mayo, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, after which the remains were shipped to Milwaukee, Wis., for burial. The deceased leaves a husband, two children, and a large circle of friends in Hopkins to mourn her loss. They have done all that loving hands and tender hearts could do and sorrow not as others who have no hope. On behalf of the friends, the JOURNAL extends gratitude and heartfelt thanks to those who so willingly lent loving hands and did all in their power during the sickness and death.
Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri) Thursday December 28, 1893 Tobias K. Buck was born in Blair County, Penn., July 13, 1832, and died Dec. 21, 1893, in the sixtieth year of his age. The deceased, when but a young man, left the place of his birth for Illinois, where he married Miss Maggie Miller in ’61. The union was blessed with eight children, seven of whom are living. All were at home but one, Alma E., who is married and lives at Larned, Kan. Bro. Buck united with the M. E. church about ten years ago, and for the past three years has been a member of the church of this place. In his daily walk he exemplified the doctrine of the church to which he belonged, “that by grace we are kept and by faith are we saved.” He was consistent in life, a true friend to his pastor, and always solicitous of the prosperity of the church. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church by Rev. E. V. Roof, assisted by Rev. Lewis, of the Baptist church, in the absence of the pastor. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of people. A. B. Chapin, Pastor Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri) Saturday May l7, 1881 p. 3 Obituary Emily E. Bugbee was born in Warren County, Illinois, August 1st, 1860, and with her parents, emigrated to Missouri in 1874, settling about four miles south of Hopkins, where she died April 11, 1881. She was sick for four months prior to her death, with lung disease, and while she suffered much, she was patient and resigned to the will of her Heavenly Father, willing to suffer as well as to do his will. She became a member of the United Brethren church about three years ago. When the time came that she must cross the river of death she said she saw two bright angels one of whom had a cross in his hand, and she asked those around her to open the window and let them in. She said she was ready to leave her earthly friends and go with them to see her friends in Heaven. While her parents and friends mourn her loss they feel assured that their loss is her gain and they mourn not as those having no hope, for they expect to meet and greet her again. Her funeral sermon was preached from Isaiah 25-8, to a very large congregation of friends and relatives, at her father’s house on Sunday morning, April 24th, by the writer, after which her body was taken to the silent city of the dead, to await the resurrection morning, when it will be fashioned like unto the body of her blessed Lord. While standing around her open grave her friends sang that beautiful hymn commencing, “Sister thou was’t mild and lovely.” May the blessing of the great head of the church rest on her parents and friends and may they all meet where the farewells are never said. This world is not our home. J. Moorhead

She retired the evening of the 22d in her usual health as far as is known and was found by her friends the next morning in the embrace of death. There was found a note where she had been writing the evening before and among other things were these words. What a glorious privilege is communion with God; what a sweet
consultation then followed the lines: “Other refuge have I none hangs my
helpless soul on thee leave, leave me not alone, still support and comfort
me. W. B. R. Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri) Thursday May 10, 1894 [p. 1] Obituary Irilla A. Hicks was born in Atlanta, Logan County, Illinois, September 3, 1862, and died at her home in Hopkins, Missouri, May 8, at 3 p. m. Aged 31 years, 8 months and 5 days. About a year ago she was thrown from a buggy, and received internal injuries from which she had not fully recovered, when, in September last she went to visit relatives in Illinois and to the World’s Fair, where she took a severe cold and was brought home sick. The illness thus begun, developed into permanent lung trouble and progressed steadily to its fatal termination last Tuesday. Irilla, with her father [Harrison Hicks] and family, came to Hopkins in 1877, where they have since resided. The deceased had grown to womanhood in our midst, hers being an exemplary life, being a friend to the church, loved and respected by all who knew her, and the idol of her parents. She was an artist of more than usual ability, and the home now so sadly bereaved, holds many adornments which will remain a tribute to her patience and skill. Her heroic spirit resisted the invasion of disease until forced to succumb to the inevitable, and she died in peace. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Downs at the house on the evening of the 9th, after which the remains were put on the evening train to be taken to Streator, Illinois, for interment in the family burying place. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri) Thursday January 25, 1894 [p. 1] DIED M. [yron] D. [ecker] Jackson, who has been sick since last June, died at his home in Hopkins last Sunday night, cancer of the stomach being the disease. Through all his sufferings, which at times were intense, he bore it without a murmur. Obituary Myron D. [ecker] Jackson was born in Adrian, Mich., Sept. 10, 1852. Parents moved to Cambria, Wis., two years later. Lost his mother at the age of seven and father at fourteen. He went to Blue Earth City, Minn., in February 1870; to Prescott, Iowa in March 1875. Was at work in grain and implement; was changed to Cromwell, Iowa, in October, 1881, at that time working for Grant & Johnson, of Creston. In May 1885 he came to Hopkins and for the last seven years has spent his time traveling on the road in commercial work. He came home the last day of April of last year to rest up, being then not able to sit up all day. He took down June 22, and died Jan. 21, 1894, aged 41 years, 4 months, 11 days. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss, but it is only a little while and the partings will be over and the meetings will begin, the toil will be ended and the rest will be eternal. The funeral services were held from the family residence on Monday conducted by Rev. Chapin, pastor of the M. E. church. Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri) Saturday September 3, 1881 p. 3 ----Julia Kempton, aged about sixteen years, died very suddenly on Thursday morning at the residence of her parents. She had been ailing for several days past, and was being treated by the physician, but her condition was not regarded as at all dangerous. On Thursday morning her mother heard a slight noise in the direction of her bed and on arising to ascertain the cause discovered that the daughter was dead. It is believed that an affection of the heart was the cause of the death. [Kennedy, George Cameron “Georgie”] Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri) Thursday June 26, 1890 [p. 1] ”THE MASTER IS COME” Little Georgie Kennedy son of A. C. Kennedy died at half past eight Tuesday evening of Colitis, a lower bowel trouble. The funeral is today at 10 a. m. from the Presbyterian Church; the Rev. Frank Lonsdale is officiating. The message of death has left a sad household, and the entire community feel deeply the affliction which falls upon this well known family. Everything has been done to save the child and able physicians have been constant in attendance. But on the 24th instant the call came. ---“Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven;” and the last pain was over and the little one was with God. [Kennedy, George Cameron “Georgie”] Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri) Thursday July 10, 1890 [p. 1] IN MEMORIAM The deepest sympathy is felt and has been expressed for our worthy R. R. agent, A. C. Kennedy and his wife. Mr. Kennedy has been suffering for many months past from indisposition, caused doubtless by overwork, and in the midst of his suffering, the enemy death stole into his family and laid its cold icy hand upon his bright little son. Georgie Cameron Kennedy was in good health on the 13th but complained of being unwell about mid-day, when vomiting commenced and shortly after dysentery which continued with more or less severity till the 24th when he passed away---a sad blow to his loving parents, for Georgie was a bright little fellow, showing traits of character and intellect far beyond his years, and thus winning his way to all hearts. Great store was set upon him for the future, but a better thing awaited him. He is now beyond care and anxiety with the Lord, which is far better. Sorrow not dear friends, but look for another tie in Heaven. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Londsdale, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and there were a large number of sympathizing friends present. Hopkins Journal (Hopkins,
Missouri)
Thursday July 10, 1890 OBITUARY Died, June 27th, 1890, Sister Nancy [Fiddler] Jones of Good Hope. Sister Jones was born in the state of Kentucky, Jan. 6, 1836. At the age of 17 years she was converted and united with the Baptist church while living with her parents in the state of Indiana. At the age of 20 she was married to J. [ohn] M. [Wesley] Jones and moved to the Good Hope neighborhood in the year 1864. Mrs. Jones connected herself with the Union church north of Hopkins, and after a church was organized at Hopkins, transferred her membership to that place. During all these years she was a kind wife, a loving mother and a consistent Christian, loved and esteemed by all who knew her. The writer had the pleasure of seeing her several times in her last illness; we found her always happy and contented, living with her daughter Mrs. Gray. She made the home pleasant by her cheerful disposition and her loving presence. Her children have lost a loving mother, the neighborhood a faithful Christian sister and the church one of its most consistent members. Her funeral was conducted at the home of her daughter by the
minister, and seldom have we beheld a parting so very hard to bear. May God
give the sorrowing ones grace sufficient to bear this sorrow, believing that He
who hath taken mother home “doeth all things well.” Sister Jones died fully “trusting in her Savior and has gone to her
reward. J. K. H.
