[GARDNER, MALINDA EVELINE GROVER]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, March 27, 1890
Died at her home in St. Joseph, March 19, 1890, Mrs. Malinda Eveline Gardner, wife of George L. Gardner, formerly of this city, of that fell disease, consumption, after a lingering illness of six months. She yielded up her young life at the age of 21 years, 8 months and 8 days. Her remains were brought here and were met at the depot by some 200 friends and acquaintances. She leaves a sorrowing husband and many relatives, but they do not mourn as those without hope, as she died in the blessed faith of a bright beyond. Only a short time before she died she sang that comforting song, "Nearer My God to Thee." When the final moment came she passed peacefully away with the blessed assurance that the radiance from yon bright throne would be a beacon light to illuminate her pathway across the dark river and through the valley of death. Rev. J. J. Hicks preached the funeral sermon at the Myrtle Tree school house on the 20th at 2 P. M. to a large concourse of friends and relatives, after which she was interred in the Ware cemetery, by the side of her father, mother and little babe. To sorrowing relatives and friends we would say, let your hearts be comforted by that Heavenly promise, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." [Poem not transcribed.]   Brother L.

[GEIGER, MARTHA SAREPTA DAVIS]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, August 29, 1889
--Mrs. H.[arry] H.[arrison] Geiger died at Denver on Monday of last week. Consumption was the disease. She had been in poor health for the past two or three years. Her sister, Mrs. Spurlock, who lives in Nebraska, will take care of her two children. Mrs. Geiger was a Davis—a sister of the late Major B. [erryman] K. [enchin] Davis and of George Davis. Mr. H. H. Geiger was formerly postmaster of Maryville. A large circle of friends here will deeply sympathize with Mr. Geiger in his bereavement. Since the above was put in type, we have been permitted to see a letter from H. H. Geiger to George Davis, dated August 22, 1889, from which we take the following extract: "Sarepta died Monday, August 20, at 8:15 o'clock in the morning, after two days and nights of a terrible struggle. She said during the night that she would like to see the glorious sunlight once more and she did live to see it. I have no language to express the depth of my sorrow. So Loney! Oh, so lonely! The light and life of the home gone. She went "sweeping through the gates" into the New Jerusalem, there to meet father, mother, brother and sister. She suffered so long and severely that her tired body and weary soul longed to be at rest. Bro. Thornton and Col. Chivington conducted the funeral services." Mrs. Geiger was forty-two years of age. She leaves two children living and two are dead, both of whom are buried here.

Before sepulture, his funeral sermon was preached at the M E church in Barnard by Rev H A Davis, from the text, "There remaineth, therefore, a rest for the people of God." The sermon was full of the healing balm of the gospel. [Poem not transcribed.]

[GIBSON, THOMAS H.]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, September 18, 1890
On the last night of August 1890, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, the spirit of T. [homas] H. Gibson winged its flight to the beautiful Home of the Soul. He had been a consistent member of the M. E. Church South for seventeen or eighteen years. He was known as an honest, upright man. He had been in the mercantile business for several years and became proverbial for his honesty, thereby gaining the sobriquet of "Honest Tom." He was an every-day Christian; not loud in his demonstrations but stood up for Christ with a firmness which had its weight with all who knew him. He was bedfast nine weeks with that dread disease, consumption. He suffered greatly, but never a murmur passed his lips. We all felt sure of his peace with God, but when he faintly whispered, "I feel sure of a home in Heaven; I have neither a dread nor a fear," we thought they were the grandest, most glorious words we ever heard. His eyes shone with an unearthly brightness, and we felt that surely Heaven's gates were ajar and through them came a ray of brightness which shone over the death-bed and lit up the countenances of the watchers. A new revelation seemed to come to him and he whispered, "I am saved! I love everyone." It was, indeed, a solemn scene, this soul launching into eternity and we felt with greater emphasis than ever before, "It is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die."
To the brave little wife we would like to say some words of comfort. The deep places of life are now before you. This wound no earthly balm can heal. You can only look to the God whom your dear husband bade us trust. Bring up the orphan child to reverence the memory of her sainted father, who looks down and smiles on every righteous act of hers.
The aged parents have the consolation of giving back to God—after a useful Christian life—the child given them in their youth and as they have other ties in Heaven, may they feel that the bands are too strong to be broken and that they are only "Gathering Homeward One by One."   M. V. G.

After an illness of three weeks, Miss Noradell Glasscock died in peace at the home of her parents near Clyde, Nodaway county, Mo., at 10 minutes past 2 o'clock p. m., April 26, 1890.
At the time of her death the deceased was 17 years, 7 months and 18 days old.
It was consumption, the La Grippe lending a helping hand, that hurried Noradel to her untimely grave. "But the best of all is, God was with her."
She greeted the death messenger with a smile of welcome and entered the Dark Valley with the Christian's song of hope that sings, "It is better on before."
Parents, "Weep not." "Your daughter is not dead, but sleepeth," for said the world's Redeemer, "He that liveth and believeth me, though he were dead, yet shall he live again."
Only make good your promise to meet Noradell in heaven and all will be well.
The bereaved family desire hereby to express their heartfelt thanks to friends and neighbors for favors and unremitting kindness that helped to bear the burden of grief and lift the cloud of sorrow from their heart and home during their recent affliction.
The funeral services were conducted by the writer at the M. E. Church, South, Guilford, Mo. The attendance was more than could be expected.   John R. Divelbliss.

THE SMALL-POX SCARE.
An eruptive skin disease has been prevailing to some extent in this city since last Christmas. For several weeks it was pronounced chicken-pox. When James Graves was broken out with it a committee of five physicians was sent by the city authorities to examine him and report his disease. Three out of five reported his disease to be small-pox, the other two inclining to the opinion that it was a severe case of chicken-pox. Dr. T. H. Doyle came up from St. Joseph Saturday and pronounce Graves' case to be small-pox. Graves died Sunday afternoon. It is admitted on all hands, however, that Graves was in poor condition to withstand the ravages of any disease. . . .

In Memoriam.
Died, at her home in this city, on the 25th day of February, Miss Maggie Graves, daughter of James Graves, deceased. Maggie, though but little past 19 years of age, had acquired a beautiful and loving disposition, which greatly endeared her to her many friends. She was respected and loved by all who knew her. She leaves a mother and a host of friends to mourn her loss.
Words fail to express our grief at the loss of this dear friend, or the sadness of that lonely home for the heart broken mother and relatives. May Heaven's blessings attend them, and by and by, if faithful, we shall all meet at home where death can never come. All our hearts go out in earnest sympathy to them. The writer of this brief sketch can never forget her or her kindness, nor cease to remember her with the deepest gratitude. The flowers will fade, but dear is the life and sweet the memory of the departed. [Poem not transcribed.]  A Friend.

About 3 o'clock the mine caved in, catching the boy beneath a block of slate and stone some fifteen feet long and eighteen inches thick and crushing him to death. Mr. Claypool was also hit by some of the debris and badly bruised if not some ribs broken. The boy was caught so that his hips and lower part of his body were terribly crushed, so that death must have occurred almost instantly, although those near think they heard him call for help twice after the accident happened. The body could not be removed until the stone was raised with wedges and crow bars. The parent of the unfortunate boy are almost wild with grief. The remains were buried at this place Thursday afternoon. – B. J. Post.

Gathered To His Fathers. Death of Thomas P. Graves.
On last Friday after a lingering illness, Thomas P. Graves of this city was gathered to his fathers at the ripe age of seventy-three. Mr. Graves was born in North Carolina, Feb. 11th, 1814. In 1829, he with his parents moved to Indiana. He was united in marriage to his now bereaved widow in 1834 and for over half a century they walked the paths of life together. To them were born twelve children five are dead and seven still living.
During the war Mr. Graves responded to the call of his country and was a brave and faithful soldier and was mustered out as Captain of Co. I Fifty-ninth Ind. Inft. After the war he moved to Louisville, Ky. and in 1879 to this country. Mr. Graves was a member in good standing of the A. F. & A. M., and it was by the solen rites of the order he was buried. He was also a devoted member of the M. E. Church South, having joined the church in 1847 and died in full hope of a blessed immortality. There is no doubt but that Mr. Graves death was hastened by the chronic diarrhoea which was contracted in the army. He was a pensioner, drawing a pension of $20 per month.
To his aged widow, his children and his many friends, the Republican extends its heart felt sympathy. But they can rejoice in the fact that Mr. Graves fought the good fight and is now at rest.

Dora Gray, wife of Wesley F. Gray, was born July 31st, 1857, in Delaware county, Ohio. Died, at her home in Pickering, Nodaway county, Mo., at 10:20 p. m., Saturday, Feb. 23d, 1889, aged 31 years, 6 months and 22 days. Sister Gray joined the church of the Adventists in Feb. 1874. Was married to Wesley F. Gray May 21st, 1874. She leaves a husband and three little children—two girls and one boy—to mourn the irreparable loss of a good and faithful wife and mother. Wife and mother, husband and dear little children can not return to you, but you can live so that you can go to her when you quit the walks of mortals. God grant that your lives may be daily committed to Him who careth for the sparrows, and much more for His children. The funeral was preached by the undersigned, at the M. E. church in Pickering, Monday, Feb. 25th, 1889, to a large concourse of attentive and sympathizing relatives and friends. Though the day was a cold one, yet there was a large crowd of friends who followed the remains to their last resting place. The deceased was a cheerful and companionable wife, mother and neighbor; and great therefore is the loss of one thus highly esteemed for her amiableness, but she being dead yet speaketh and they who knew her best will have those qualities more indelibly stamped upon their memories now that she is gone. May God, in the plenitude of His mercies grant that all who loved and esteemed the departed may so live that when, like her, they are called, may be ready for the last summons.   J. H. French.

LAMAR STATION – The writer last winter often spoke of the serious illness by paralysis of Mrs. Tempa Gray, at the residence of her son, Monroe Baker, near Elmo. When warm weather set in she seemed to get much better and was carried on the cars and taken to Pacific City, Iowa, the residence of Harvey Baker, another son, where she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus Sept. 25, 1889. She was seventy eight years old the day she died. She was the mother of twelve children. One died in infancy and the others lived to be married. Mrs. Kitty Morris of Hazel Dell, Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Jim Moreland of Kansas preceded her to the grave. Her five sons, John, Joe, Monroe and Harvey Baker, and Ben Grey. One daughter, Mrs. Josie Davis, watched by her dying bed and saw their much loved mother without a moan or struggle drop the curtain of life and pass into that sun bright clime, where the weary are at rest. Two daughters, Mrs. Betty Crigger, of Grey Grove, and Mrs. Emily Skinner of Nebraska, were not present. Her remains were laid to rest in White Chapel cemetery, on a high bluff overlooking a large portion of the Missouri Valley and Eastern Nebraska. Her maiden name was Bracher. She was born in East Tennessee, and there married Mr. Baker, whose remains sleep in the southern part of this state.

Death of Albert Groves.
The subject of this notice, Albert Groves, died at his residence in Hughes Township, March 12th, 1887. His death was caused by a cancer on his lip which first made its appearance about three years ago. At first nothing serious was thought of the matter but after he had tried several different remedies without any apparent success it became evident to himself and friends that he could not long survive. For the last two or three months he was confined to his room where he suffered the most excruciating pain. He retained his mind to the last, bearing his affliction patiently and frequently expressed himself as being ready and willing to die.
His funeral took place March 13th. His remains were laid to rest in the Groves grave yard. Friends and neighbors gathered to pay the last respects to the departed, one who was called so soon to follow his older brother to the spirit world. The deceased leaves a wife and several children to mourn his departure. The bereft ones have the sympathy of the entire community in this their sad bereavement. To the sorrowing we say look to Him who doeth all things well. [Poem not transcribed.]  H. A. F.

[GWINN, CHARLES WESLEY]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, February 6, 1890
Charles Wesley Gwinn was born in Richland county, Wisconsin, January 12, 1869, died at his home, 6 miles southwest of Maryville, Mo., Jan. 29, 1890, aged 21 years and 17 days. He was universally beloved by all who knew him. To attest this fact a very large number attended the funeral and shed tears of genuine grief over his remains. Short as was his life, he proved that a young man can have warm friends and secure a good name by being faithful to every trust. A dutiful son, a kind and affectionate brother, a noble and unselfish friend and companion. He died a Christian ready and willing to go to his eternal reward. With perfect deliberation and calmness he folded his hands across his breast, bade his relatives adieu, and was wafted away on unseen wings to the other shore, thus acting out the beautiful figure given by the poet, "As a man gathers around him the drapery of his couch and lies down to rest." This dying grace is only the heritage of the children of God.
The funeral services were conducted by the undersigned Jan 31 at the Pleasant Hill church and his remains were laid to rest in the Cain cemetery near Wesley chapel. The text was John 16, 33: "These things have I spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulations but be of good cheer I have overcome the world."  C. C. Luce, Quitman, Mo.

PLEASANT HILL – Charles Gwinn died at 10 p. m. January 29, 1890, after a sickness of several weeks duration with that dread disease consumption and, although he suffered a great deal the last few days of his life, he was cheerful and uncomplaining. He took council with Christian friends about his soul's salvation and by prayer and reading the bible he found peace in the Savior and said before he died there was no burden on his heart and all was well.
