Died, October 17th, 1889, of croup, Clarence F. [ielden] Hagan, son of Ashal and Charity Hagan, aged 5 years and 1 day. The bereaved parents return their sincere thanks to their friends who assisted them during their sickness.
Our little Clarence was a jewel
Sent to us by our gracious Father,
And we do not deem it cruel
That his jewels he should gather.

But our hearts were sadly aching
When the silken tie was riven,
Though we knew he was but waking
Mid the angel groups of Heaven.   M. L.

Death of Frank W. Hamilton.
Frank W. Hamilton died at Santa Barbara, Cal., Aug. 9, 1887, after intense suffering of Consumption. Frank came west in 1882, secured a farm and had it well stocked with cattle and began life with bright hope and anticipation but was cut down and has passed to the unknown. He was intelligent, industrious and loved by all. How sad to part with such a dear friend. During his long illness he never uttered a murmur, but was resigned to the will of God, who doeth all things well. "Gone but not forgotten." The kind mother and friends have the sympathy of all.

[HAMILTON, THOMAS J.]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 18, 1889
--This morning about 8 o'clock news reached this city of the death of Thos. Hamilton, who lived a mile and a half north of town. He was found about 7 o'clock, in the hallway of his barn with a bullet hole through his body in the region of the heart, and his rifle standing in the manger near him. His clothes were badly scorched, showing that the weapon was in close proximity when the shot was fired. Coroner Hedgepeth was immediately notified and arriving on the scene proceeded to hold an inquest. We go to press too soon to give the verdict in full, which is, in substance, that he died by his own hand. He has been in poor health for some time, which is thought to be the cause of his self destruction. He leaves a large family and was in good circumstances, having over $600 on his person which he drew from the bank yesterday. – Rockport Journal.

[HANNA, BRIDGET O'HALLORAN]
Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri), Thursday, June 13, 1907
Gone to Her Reward.
Miss B. Hallarn [O'Halloran] was born in Kare, Ireland, Nov. 23, 1836, and crossed the Atlantic ocean from Europe to America with her parents when about nine years of age, landing at New York City. Her mother soon died and was buried at Buffalo, N. Y. She then made her home with an older sister, Mrs. A. L. Merritt, in Chicago, and while there attended the public schools for several years, after which she went to La Salle, Ill., to keep house for her father. At La Salle she met James Hanna Sr. and was united in marriage to him Oct. 31, 1854. To this union twelve children were born—eight sons and four daughters.
Two daughters, Jennie and Laura, died in childhood and one daughter, Mary, who was the wife of F. E. Rathbun, passed to the great beyond Sept. 17, 1900, Mrs. Rathbun being the oldest of the family. One son, John, preceeded her to the better world just four months previous to her death.
Mrs. Hanna and family moved from La Salle, Ill., shortly after the civil war closed and resided there until the year 1879, when she, with her husband and family, moved to her late home about two miles northeast of Hopkins and resided there until she was called to her heavenly home June 8, 1907, at 3:30 o'clock p. m.
"Grandma Hanna," as she was usually called of late years, had been a sufferer of heart disease for several years and the last seven months she was confined to her bed most of the time, but she never murmured or complained and stood her suffering with great fortitude and bravery, being very cheerful to her children and friends until the very last.
Grandma Hanna we can truly say was well liked by everyone who knew her, always having a cheerful word for everybody. No person was ever turned from her door hungry or in need. She took great delight in helping the poor and needy.
She professed religion in early childhood and was always ready to help all she could in the Master's Vineyard. She was a good woman and has gone to her reward in Heaven to join her husband who died Nov. 30, 1880.
The funeral services were conducted from her late residence June 10, 1907, at 1 p. m. Rev. K. J. Cardy was to have conducted the services but being out of the city, Rev. Jonathan Redding, of Atchison, Kansas, who is holding a revival meeting in the First Presbyterian church of Hopkins, conducted the services.
Besides seven sons and one daughter, Margaret, wife of R. M. Stine and, and eleven grandchildren she leaves to mourn her loss two brothers, Frank Hallarn [O'Halloran], of Piper City, Ill., and Richard Hallarn [O'Halloran] of Spring Valley, Ill., and one sister, Mrs. H. Doyle, of La Salle, Ill., and a number of nieces and nephews in Chicago and other parts of Illinois.
She will be greatly missed in the home but we have that blessed promise if we live as pure and good a life as she lived that we all shall meet in that Heavenly Home where there is no more suffering and parting.

Sarah C. [atherine] Mizner, daughter of A. C. and Lyda Mizner, was born in Pennsylvania November 14, 1843, and died May 25, 1890, at her residence in East Maryville, Mo., aged 46 years, 6 months and 10 days. She emigrated with her parents to Ohio in 1850. She was married to John H. Haroff in 1865 and emigrated to Iowa the same year; thence to Nodaway county in 1888; settled on a farm near Guilford, where they remained till this spring, when they came to Maryville.
Mrs. Haroff was the mother of six children—four sons and two daughters. She was converted when quite young and united with the M. P. Church, but when married joined the United Brethren Church and remained a member of that denomination till her death. That dreadful disease, consumption, fastened its fangs upon her vitals. She bore her suffering with Christian fortitude, being conscious till the last. She told a friend that she was ready to go. In her death the family loses a loving mother, the husband a kind, faithful wife, the community a noble woman. She was laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery. The bereaved husband and children have the sympathy of all. [Poem not transcribed.]  W. L. G.

Death of Daniel Harrigan.
Daniel Harrigan, an old and respected citizen, departed this life at his residence in Maryville on Saturday, May 26, 1888. His funeral services were conducted by Father Pembroke at St Patrick's church on the Sunday following, after which his remains were laid away in their last resting place, in the Irish Catholic cemetery, just south of the city.
Deceased was stricken with paralysis June 21, 1885. From this attack he rallied somewhat but never again recovered his former vigor, either in mind or body. He was able thereafter, however, at intervals, to walk from his residence to his former place of business on Main street, up to March last, from which date he was confined to his bed up to the time of his death. While thus confined to his bed, he suffered intensely, until within four or five days before his death, when he relapsed into an unconscious state and so continued until dissolution put a period to his sufferings.
Daniel Harrigan was born in Killarney, County of Kerry, Ireland, February 9, 1810. He emigrated to America in May 1847 and fixed his residence in Michigan in 1849, where he engaged in mercantile pursuits. From that state he removed to Beardstown, Illinois, where he resided six years, at the end of which period he changed his residence to LaSalle, Illinois. At this last named place he was united in marriage, June 16, 1853, to Miss Mary A. McGuirk, who still survives him. He moved from LaSalle to Muscatine, Iowa, where he conducted a wholesale grocery for fourteen years. From Muscatine he made a trip to California and on his return, located at Omaha, Nebraska, from which place he came to Maryville in June 1869, where he entered into business and remained continuously up to the date of his death.
Mr. Harrigan was esteemed by all who knew him or had business dealings with him, as a man of sterling honesty. His decisions in favor of right, in all business transactions, were quick and positive. Notwithstanding his answer to any one who approached him, to influence him against his conscience and judgment of what was right, was sharp and decisive, favoring almost of rudeness, yet so apparently sincere was his manner and honest his motive that he seldom gave offence to those to whom he administered the strongest rebuffs.
He was the kindest of husbands and in the education and training of his children spared neither pains or money to fit them to become efficient, useful and honorable members of society.
He leaves surviving him three children, two sons, Hon Jerry D Harrigan, a prominent lawyer and now prosecuting attorney of Worth county, Missouri and Dr Cornelius P Harrigan, who is now enjoying a lucrative practice in the city of Omaha, Nebraska, and one daughter, Miss Mary A., who is at home.
Mrs Harrigan has been for many years a cripple. During the long continued illness of Mr Harrigan, much of which time he was helpless, the daughter nursed her father and watched by his bedside with unceasing care and vigilance and soothed him in his last illness with a filial devotion and affection above all praise.
One by one the old citizens of Maryville are being gathered to their forefathers. Few have lived so long and well through the busy years of her period of greatest prosperity, and left a name and fame more blameless, a character for integrity more unsullied that Daniel Harrigan. We have the authority of Father Pembroke for saying that until his faculties were clouded by the ravages of the disease, which terminated in death, his faith never faltered. In his life and death is exemplified the beauty of that moral precept, which admonishes us to
"So live, that when the summons comes to
      join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall
      take
His chamber in the silent halls of death.
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night
Scourged to his dungeon; but, sustained and
      soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach the grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
Around him and lies down to pleasant
      dreams."     E.

Died at his residence in Maryville, at 7 o'clock Saturday morning, May 26, 1888, Daniel Harrigan, aged 73 years.
Danie Harrigan was born February 9, 1815, at Killarney, county Kerry, Ireland. He emigrated to America in 1847, settling in Michigan. He only remained there a short time, removing to La Salle, Illinois, where he was married June 16, 1853, to Miss Mary A. McQuirk. Soon after their marriage he moved to Muscatine, Iowa, where he remained engaged in mercantile life for fourteen years. in 1867 he went to California and then to Omaha, Neb, where he lived two years, moving to Maryville in 1869, where he was engaged in the grocery business until a few years ago, since which time he lived a quiet life.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrigan were the parents of three children, J. D., now prosecuting attorney for Worth county, Cornelius, a prominent physician of Omaha, Neb., and Miss Mary, whose watchful care has alleviated the last days of her father, as well as lightened the burdens of her sorrowing mother. The children and mother are all left to mourn the loss of an indulgent and loving husband and father.

George H. Hatton Dies After An Illness of Two Weeks.

The deceased was taken sick at Ellis, Kansas, about two weeks ago, and was brought to St. Joseph last Tuesday. His complaint was congestion of the stomach and since being stricken down with the disease he has suffered untold misery. He was affected by almost continual vomiting and in one of these spells the exertion was so great that he died in the midst of the spasm.
George Hatton was one of the best known and most popular salesmen traveling out of St. Joseph and was loved alike by his employers, his customers and his associates. His territory laid in western Kansas and last month his sales were next to the largest of any representative of the house, notwithstanding the fact that in portions of his district no crops of any consequence were raised this year and many of the people are in straightened circumstances.
The dead salesman had been employed by Steele & Walker for about three years, prior to which time he operated a retail grocery house in St. Joseph. He was 37 years of age, unmarried, and leaves a sister (Mrs. Beekman) and three brothers, two of which reside at Des Moines, Iowa, and one at Creston.
The funeral services will be held at the residence of T. H. Beekman at 4 o'clock this afternoon and the remains will be taken to Des Moines for burial on the evening train.

In Memoriam.
Died, Tuesday, March 22, 1887, Mrs. Jennie Haus, beloved wife of Andy J. Haus.
The blow was not unexpected but it was no less terrible when it came. For days her life hung in the balance, and at last her feeble frame gave way, and she shut her eyes to the scenes of earth forever. Mrs. Haus was in feeble health for some years before her death. But a few months ago she appeared to get much better and hopes were entertained of her complete recovery. But about two weeks before her death an abscess formed in her head and after two weeks of intense suffering, death came to her relief.
Mrs. Haus' maiden name was Jennie Owens. She was married to Mr. Haus on April 6th, 1880, and proved herself a loving wife and devoted mother, the fruits of the marriage being one child, a little boy, now five years of age. She also leaves her parents, a married sister, Mrs. Chas. Roberts, a single sister and numerous friends and relatives to mourn her loss. But the blow falls heaviest on Mr. Haus and he has the sympathy of all in his deep bereavement.
Mrs. Haus' funeral services took place at St. Mary's Catholic church, on Friday, March 25, at 10 o'clock a. m. The funeral procession started from the house at 9:20 a. m. It was headed by the Maryville Cornet Band which discoursed a sweet music as the procession slowly passed up the street. The hearse was most faultlessly trimmed.
The procession was a large one and showed the respect Mrs. Haus was held in while living. The funeral sermon was preached by Father Anselm, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
A happy home was desolate but in heaven angels rejoice over one more redeemed from earth.

Death of Dr. J. W. Heath.
Dr. J. W. Heath, of Barnard, died Friday morning, March 22, after nine days illness of pneumonia.
The following sketch was taken from the "Nodaway County History:"
James W. Heath, physician and surgeon, was born on the 25th day of July, 1825, and is a native of Erie county, Pennsylvania. His father, John Heath, who was a merchant, was born in New Hampshire and his mother, Hannah (Wasson) Heath, was a native of the same state. James spent his youth at home and in clerking in a store. He received excellent educational advantages at the Waterford Academy of Pennsylvania, applying himself diligently for some time. Having made choice of the practice of medicine as his profession, he commenced its study with Dr. Ira Barton, Waterford, Pennsylvania, as his preceptor. He attended the Western Reserve College in 1849-50 and soon after began practicing medicine. In 1861, Dr. Heath took a trip to Colorado, Nevada and California, spending nearly ten years in that country and visiting many different cities. He encountered numerous difficulties while traveling among the Indians, was once robbed of his money and a valuable watch by road agents but escaped with his life. A narration of his tour is both interesting and instructive. He extended his journey through Texas and the south and finally, in 1870, Dr. Heath came to Missouri and in March 1871, located in Barnard, where he has since continued to care for the sick and administer to their wants. After coming to Missouri he attended and afterwards graduated from the Hospital College of St. Joseph. A physician of over thirty years standing, a resident of the county for over ten years and his thorough knowledge of his profession, have combined to render him among the leading practitioners in Nodaway county. Dr. Heath has been twice married. His first wife died in 1858. His second marriage occurred November 8, 1874, to Mary Phillips, daughter of Joshua Phillips, who died in 1872.
The funeral services occurred last Sabbath. The sermon was preached by Rev. Londsdale at the Presbyterian church. His remains were followed to the cemetery by one of the largest processions ever seen in the county. The burial services were conducted under the auspices of the Masons.
Dr. Heath was a good man and one of the best physicians in Northwest Missouri.

Her Young Life Over. Death of Miss Anna Hays.
On Wednesday forenoon the sad news was told that Miss Anna Hays was no more. Although Miss Hays had been very sick for months with that dread disease, consumption, her death was very unexpected and came with crushing force to those to whom she was near and dear.
For some time her friends knew it was only a matter of a brief time she would be with them, but as that time grew shorter, she grew dearer and dearer to those around her. For the last few days she was troubled with a severe neuralgia pain in her left side. On Tuesday the pain became so severe that Dr. Heddens of St. Joseph was telegraphed for. He came up Tuesday night, examined her carefully and told her friends there was no immediate cause of alarm, that he thought with good care she would live for three or four months at least. She seemed bright and lively and talked with the doctor with almost her old time vivacity. Yesterday morning she still seemed better. A little after ten o'clock, while sitting bolstered up in the bed, with no one in the room but her sister Mary, she suddenly gave a little cry, clasped her hands on her breast, and gasped, "Oh, Mary, I am dying!" and sank back dead. The neuralgia had struck her heart and killed her as quickly as if a bullet had struck her there.
The grief of the family was indescribable, and they could hardly realize she was gone. Her mother, Mrs. John Edwards, has been in very poor health for some time and the blow to her was a terrible one.
Miss Anna Hays was the step-daughter of Hon. John Edwards, of this city. She was born at Hillboro [Hillsboro], Ohio, Sept. 20, 1858. Her father died of consumption while she was young. She came to Maryville with her step-father in 1867 and has resided here ever since. She was a bright, vivacious girl and was the life of her circle and beloved by all who knew her.
The writer can best remember her as a bright, sparkling little girl, full of life and energy, as she came to school to him. She had a fine analytical mind, and we never knew a girl who would take a problem in mental arithmetic and solve it clearer and better than Anna. Miss Hays was a teacher in our public school in 1884 and 1885, but ill health compelled her to give up her charge and death has been by her side ever
Her funeral will take place to-morrow (Friday) at 2 o'clock P. M., at the family residence and the services will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. Runcie, of St. Joseph.

At Rest. Miss Anna D. Hays Passes Away to the Better Land.
Our community was startled last Wednesday by the news that Miss Anna D. Hays, daughter of Mrs. John Edwards, had departed this life. While Anna had been confined to the house with lung troubles for some time past no one thought her death was so near at hand. October 7th, 1886, she was taken down with congestion of the right lung which developed into an abscess and symptoms of consumption. Dr. Heddins of St. Joe came up to see Anna last Tuesday and shortly before and after the arrival of the Doctor she appeared to be feeling better than she had been for several days past and he gave it as his opinion that she would live for several months yet.
Wednesday forenoon at about half past ten o'clock, while sitting half upright in bed, Anna complained of being very cold and suddenly called out to her sister Mary, who was in the room, that she could not stand the pain and said, "Oh, Mame, I'm dying." Hot irons were immediately placed to her feet and restoratives resorted to but they could not avail and after drawing a few breaths she passed away, having received during her long illness every care and attention. It is believed that a neuralgic affection of the heart was the immediate cause of her death. Several days before her death she had told her sister Mary that she did not think she would live long and told her what clothes she desired to be buried in.
Deceased was one of the best known and most popular young ladies in Maryville, having come here when a child with her mother and step-father, Hon. John Edwards, in 1868. She was a noble young woman and lived a stainless life.
She was born in Hillsboro, Ohio, Sept. 20th, 1858. Her father, who was a prominent lawyer, died with consumption June 17th, 1860.
Anna had a fine intellect and was a bright girl whose joyous happy disposition made her the life of every company she was in. For several terms she ably taught in one of the departments of the Maryville Public School and by her amiable disposition and kind ways endeared her scholars and associate teachers to her. Her merry laugh and smiling face will be sadly missed but her memory will be kept green in the hearts of her numerous friends.
Her funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Runcie, Episcopal minister of St. Joe, next Friday, at the residence, at 2 P. M., after which her mortal remains will be consigned to the tomb in Oak Hill cemetery.
Her devoted mother, step-father, sister and brothers have the heart-felt sympathy of the entire community in their great bereavement.
