Julia A. Herbert was born in Harrison county, Indiana, Jan. 10th, 1832, departed this life March 22d, 1888.
Mrs. Herbert's maiden name was Townsend. Her father was one of the early settlers of Taylor county, Iowa, where she was married to her now sad and bereaved husband about 29 years ago. Her father, "Uncle Billy," as he was called, died about ten years since and now sleeps in Taylor county, Iowa. Her mother is yet living and was with her most of the time during her sickness. Five brothers and two sisters survive her: James and Alexander live near Hopkins; Joseph in Montana, John, Henry, Jane and Matilda live in Kansas. She was the mother of four children: Ella, Frank and Minnie, are now living—little Mary having gone before and now sleeps beside her mother in the Hopkins cemetery. Ella and Frank live in Nebraska and arrived too late to see their mother depart but were present at the funeral. Mrs. Herbert was converted to the faith and became a member of the M. E. Church when a girl and ever lived to honor the church and the cause of Christianity and died as she had lived, ready and prepared to go. Although her sufferings were great and continued, yet she murmured not but died only as the good can die. O, may we all adopt her example and so live that we may die as she died.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Warner at the home of the deceased at 1 o'clock p. m., Saturday, the 24th, after which her remains were conveyed to the cemetery, there to await the coming of the world's Redeemer.

Robert Heren Dead.
Robert Heren, son of Judge William and Miriam Heren, was born June 2, 1853, and died at the residence of his father in Savannah, on Monday, November 7, 1887, at 9:45 a. m., aged 34 years, 4 months and 25 days.
The deceased has been afflicted for several years at times with kidney troubles which gradually grew worse, and which caused his death. Otherwise he was a strong and healthy man.
He was married to Miss Eva Clemmens, a grand-daughter of Judge Ephriam Myers, of Platte township, who raised and educated her, she having lost her parents by death when very young. Three children were born of the marriage, Eva H. who died when she was two years old and Olive and Annie E. who are still living.
His wife died October 25, 1882, leaving Anna E. an infant, but a few weeks old. She was taken to raise by the family of Judge Myers, where she still makes her home. Olive was taken by her grandpa, Judge William Heren, where she still makes her home. The deceased, about two years after the death of his wife, closed out his business in Nodaway county, Mo., and went to Elk county, Kansas and bought a tract of land where he made his home on his farm in Kansas until last fall, when not feeling able to manage his farm any longer he rented it and came here to his father's and remained a short time and then went to Osborne, in Northwestern Kansas and went into the office of his brother, Cyrus Heren, where he remained during the winter, his health still failing him. He again gave up work and returned to his father's at Savannah early last spring, put himself under the care of able and skillful physicians at Savannah and St. Joseph, but received only temporary benefit. The dread disease continued to make inroads upon his young and otherwise vigorous constitution. For many weeks before his death he was helpless and was nursed by those near and dear to him and by kind friends and neighbors. He bore his afflictions with a will and patience rarely seen and was never heard at any time to murmur or complain at his misfortune. – Savannah Democrat.

A Mother in Israel Gone.
Died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Fayette Smith, in Maryville, Mo., Monday morning, July 28, 1890, of a cancerous tumor, Mrs. Ann V. Hess, aged 83 years, 10 months and 25 days.
Mrs. Hess was born September 2, 1806, at Martinsburg, Va. She was married October 11, 1825, and to her and her husband were given twelve children, seven of whom are living. In 1839 the family moved to Illinois, where the husband died nearly forty years ago. Some twenty years ago she moved to Missouri with her children and for about eighteen years past she had lived with her daughter, Mrs. Fayette Smith, at whose home in Maryville she passed away, after much suffering from a malignant tumor upon the neck.
Grandma Hess possessed a most lovable disposition and was highly esteemed by all her acquaintances. Her health had been generally good until comparatively lately. For sixty five years she daily read from a bible published in 1846, which had been her constant companion from the time of her marriage. Her death leaves a vacancy in the home she had blessed by her presence so many years, but her memory will remain fresh in the hearts of those she loved so dearly. Their consolation is the hope of seeing her again in that bright land where parting[s] never occur, which is a most blessed anticipation.
The funeral services were held at the family residence on Tuesday, July 29, 1890, conducted by Rev. D. M. Yetter. The pall bearers were Messrs. R. P. Robinson, J. T. Welch, T. L. Robinson, W. T. Garrett, Ira K. Alderman and A. C. Gann. A large funeral cortege accompanied the remains to Miriam Cemetery where the mortal remains of Grandma Hess were laid away to await the final trump.

Death of Al Hewett
Alvin E. [rastus] Hewett was laid to rest in the Hopkins cemetery on Sunday afternoon, August 30, where sleep his parents, Harrison and Tabitha Hewett, and so many who were his friends and neighbors. He died at the home of his son, Harvey, near Ismay, Mont., on the 26th day of August 1925, having recently passed his seventy-second birthday.
Alvin Hewett was born on the old Hewett farm in Warren county, Illinois, near the town of Greenbush, the oldest of the family. His parents were among the earliest pioneers of that country, the father of New England stock, the mother born in Kentucky. They came to Northwest Missouri to settle in 1880 and lived here until after the death of both parents. From here Alvin, Lawrence and Noah went out to another new country, Eastern Montana; Cassie has remained in her own home in Hopkins, and Edgar, the youngest, who early turned to scientific pursuits, found his field of work in the Southwest.
Alvin was married in 1876 to Sarah C. [atherine] Link, a daughter of David Link, one of the early pioneers of Warren county, Illinois. In another year they would have reached the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding. Their only son, Harvey, at whose home in Custin [Custer] county, Mont., the father died, was married in 1902 to Mamie Redmond of Hopkins. They with the widow, accompanied the remains to Hopkins for burial; Edgar came from Santa Fe, New Mexico, but Lawrence and Noah were unable to attend. A funeral service was held before leaving Montana and at the grave in the Hopkins cemetery; the service was conducted by Rev. W. C. Harper of the Methodist church.
Among those who came to pay the last tribute to the memory of Alvin Hewett Sunday afternoon, there was one universal comment: He was an ideal husband, father and neighbor. He had the inflexible honesty of his father and the imperturbable temper of his mother—no one ever saw him ruffled or impatient. He went calmly and humbly through life, doing unto every one exactly as he would be done by. Probably no one could leave behind a finer example or a more cherished memory.

He leaves a wife, one daughter, the wife of C. B. Leach, one sister, Mrs. Lytle, of Hopkins, and three brothers in Delaware County, Ohio, to mourn his death.
His wife and family wish to sincerely thank his many friends who rendered such willing assistance in caring for him and many acts of kindness in his last sickness.

[HODSHIRE, NANCY H. "NANNIE" BARNES]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, November 15, 1888
Died, Sunday morning, Nov. 4, at Cambridge, Mo., Nannie A. Hodshire, nee Barnes, wife of Rev. C. A. Hodshire. Deceased was born in Nodaway county, Mo., August 12, 1860. She was converted and joined the M. E. church in 1874 and remained a faithful and consistent member until her death. Married August 22, 1886, to Rev. C. [harles] A. [lva] Hodshire. She was an affectionate and sympathetic companion and a true helpmate. The funeral was held at the residence of the parents near Graham, by Revs. J. J. Lace and W. M. Sapp. She leaves one child, little Maude, a stricken husband, and a circle of relatives and friends to mourn her untimely departure.
A teacher during a great part of her life, she drank deeply into the spirit of the Great Teacher and possessed the confidence and love of her pupils in a remarkable degree. All felt her influence for good and one could not be long associated with her without being made better and without feeling all high and noble aspirations within his soul quickened into new life. Even comparatively chance acquaintance felt this power and the eyes of many such will moisten with tears as they read these lines. "None knew her but to love her," and if she had an enemy in the world, the writer does not know it. As it was said of another, it could be truly said of her: "Her heart was as wide as the universe but it had no room to hold the memory of a wrong."
Possessed of a charity that was divine, because it was born of God, she covered the faults and failings of others with the gentle mantle of mercy and always found something good to say of every one. For the bad, silence and forgetfulness; for the good, sympathy and praise.
It is true ambition held a high place in her heart, but it was the ambition to be good, to do good, and to follow the precepts and example of her crucified Redeemer. It is probable that, had she lived, the world at large would have known more of her, for her soul was born to soar and was akin with all that is lofty and pure.
But "that life is long which answers life's great end;: and in the few years of her existence she experienced more of the true and deep meaning of the word "life" than many a one who has passed beyond the Psalmists' three score and ten years.
Gifted with a magnetic charm of presence and manner, a born conversationalist, endowed with unusual force of intellect, and above all, with a character and life consecrated to the Master, who "went about doing good," she will be sorely missed. Nannie is gone; Nanne the helpful, the sympathetic, the loving; but the world is made forever the richer by another life lived of high endeavor in harmony with the holy aspirations that beat in the bosoms of the angels.
"She is not dead, but sleepeth;" for she trusted in Him who said:
"I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."

Logan Holt, Pioneer, Dead In Fort Collins
Went There July 7, for Visit to Man Who Bought His Colorado Ranch.
Auto Injury Leads to Death. Born in North Carolina in 1832 and Came to Nodaway County in 1855 Entering Land Near Quitman.
"Logan Holt," one of the pioneer citizens of Nodaway county and widely known, died this morning at 5 o'clock in Fort Collins, Colo., where he went July 7 for a visit to a Mr. Gooden to whom he had sold his Colorado ranch.
The news reached Maryville just before noon today in a telegram to the widow, and instructions were at once wired that the body should be prepared for shipment to Maryville and that some one from there accompany it.
The only daughter, Mrs. W. H. Davenport of St. Petersburg, Fla., has been telegraphed and is expected to be here for the funeral. The services are expected to be held Sunday at the home on Prather avenue. Interment will be at Oak Hill cemetery.
While Mr. Holt was not in good health it was not known that he was seriously ill, as his wife had had several letters from him since his arrival in Fort Collins.
According to a special dispatch received by The Tribune at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, death resulted from gangrene, which developed following an injury to his left thigh during an auto ride.
Mr. Holt was on his way to a nearby mountain resort when the auto went over a bad place of road. He was thrown from his seat and when he came down his thigh struck the side of the car and the bruise resulted in gangrene setting up.
A NORTH CAROLINIAN.
Benjamin Logan Holt was born in Orange county, N. C., August 5, 1832. The Holt family left North Carolina when Logan was 5 years old, making the long trip overland in wagons., camping along the way and taking weeks and months for the journey. Here Logan worked on his father's farm until he was 21 years old and was free to follow this own bent, the boy in those days being bound by custom to remain at home until he had attained his majority and then receiving as his equipment for life a horse and bridle.
Young Logan at once took up the carpenter's trade and worked at it for a few years. but the yearning to "go west" got into his system a little later and he came "west"—to Nodaway county—in 1857. He was accompanied by his brother, W. R. Holt, and the two took claims two miles east of Quitman. They increased their holdings by purchase until they owned together 440 acres of land.

Before Quitman Was.
At that time there was an abundance of game and the country was a veritable wilderness. Their nearest neighbor was three miles distant and their trading point was Savannah. Quitman had not come into existence. The settlers grew flax and spun the thread and wove the cloth from which their common clothing was made, "store clothes" being reserved for gala occasions.
Mr. Holt had been married twice, his first wife being Miss Elizabeth Logan of Clay county. They were married November 18, 1857. Mrs. Davenport is the only child of this union. The first Mrs. Holt died about twenty-eight years ago. November 18, 1881, he married Miss Sarah Jackson, a sister of Joseph Jackson, Sr. She survives.
Mr. Holt moved to Maryville about 1880 and bought the home on Prather avenue.
Won Prizes.
"Uncle Logan" twice had won big prizes in the Louisana State lottery. The first streak of "luck" came about 1876 when he won $15,000 and a second time about 1881 when he again $15,000. However, his "luck" hadn't much staying power, as he played the money right back in, buying tickets that won no capital prize.

Logan Holt Dead. End Came to Maryville Man At Fort Collins, Col.
News A Shock To Wife. Although Not In Good Health, Death Was unexpected—Owned Land With Original Patent.
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
Benjamin Logan Holt died Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock at a hospital in Fort Collins, Col., according to a message received from that place from Dr. Goodings, the physician in charge of the case. Dr. Goodings did not state the cause of death or any other particulars in regard to it.
The news of Mr. Holt's death comes as a shock to Maryville people. He left Maryville on the morning of July 7 for Fort Collins on business, being largely interested in several mines in that section. He made several trips a year to Colorado to look after his interests there.
The body will be shipped from Fort Collins this evening and will probably arrive in Maryville Friday and funeral services held Saturday. However, no arrangements will be made for the funeral services until definite word is received from Colorado as to when the remains will be here.
No one was with Mr. Holt at the time of his death except a few of his friends in Fort Collins. Mrs. Holt did not accompany her husband on the trip to Colorado and the news of his death was a severe shock to her. From letters received from Fort Collins, Mr. Holt was complaining several days ago of being sick, but it was not thought he was in a serious condition.
"Logan" Holt, as he was commonly known, was born in Orange county, North Carolina, August 5, 1832. He came with his parents to Clay county, Missouri, when he was 5 years old. He worked on his father's farm until he was 21 years old and then took up the carpenter trade, which he followed successfully for a few years, during which time he invested every dollar he could have in Nodaway county land. Thus he soon had a good start, for he was always a hard worker and economical. In 1857 he and his brother, Alexander Holt, entered 440 acres of land from the government in Nodaway county, President Buchanan signing the patent papers. He still owned on-half of this land, 220 acres, which he located in Green township, nine miles from Maryville.
At the time Mr. Holt procured the land there were only a few scattered settlements in that locality and there are only a few men there at present who lived there at that time. Although very busily engaged in agricultural pursuits, Mr. Holt also devoted considerable time to carpentering for many years and in the western part of the county there stands today many substantial buildings as monuments to his handcraft. He moved to Maryville in 1880 and since that time had been a resident here.
Mr. Holt was married on November 18, 1857, to Elizabeth Logan. She died in 1875, leaving one child, Dollie, the wife of William Davenport, who are now living in St. Petersburg, Fla. On November 18, 1881, Mr. Holt was married to Sarah Jackson, who survives. She is a sister of Joseph Jackson, Sr., president of the First National bank of this city.
Mr. Holt was a member of the Masonic bodies of this city. He never aspired to political office, being content to lead a quiet life. He had hosts of friends in Maryville and throughout the county.

Holt Body Arrives; The Funeral Sunday
Accident That Resulted In Death Happened a Week Ago Today on 50-Mile Trip.
The body of Logan Holt, who died Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock at Fort Collins, Colo., arrived in Maryville this morning at 1:52 o'clock over the Wabash railway. It was accompanied by Mrs. Mary Nelson of Kansas City, a friend of the Goodings at whose home Mr. Holt died. Mrs. Nelson went on to Kansas City.
Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the Buchanan Street Methodist church and will be in charge of Rev. J. D. Randolph, the pastor. Interment will be at Oak Hill cemetery. The body will lie in state at the home on Prather avenue from 10 o'clock to noon Sunday. The burial services will be in charge of the Knights Templar of which Mr. Holt long had been a member.
The accident that led to Mr. Holt's death occurred a week ago today as he was going by auto from Fort Collins to the Rustic hotel, fifty miles away. The hotel is located near the ranch that Mr. Holt formerly owned and which he sold to his friend, Dr. A. B. Gooding a few years ago. There was nothing more than a severe jolt as the auto struck a rough road, but it threw Mr. Holt against the side of the car and bruised his left thigh. He stayed at the hotel until Sunday when he was brought back to Fort Collins.

Remains of Logan Holt, Who Died Wednesday at Ft. Collins, Col. Expected Tomorrow.
Word was received today that the remains of Logan Holt, who died Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock at Ft. Collins, Col., after a short illness, had left that place at 9 o'clock this morning. It is expected that the body will arrive in Maryville some time Friday, by way of Omaha, and funeral services probably will be held on Saturday at the residence on Prather avenue.
Mrs. W. H. Davenport, the only daughter of Mr. Holt, is on her way to Maryville for the services. Mrs. Davenport lives at St. Petersburg, Fla.
According to a letter received Thursday, Mr. Holt died from gangrene which developed following an injury to the left thigh during an auto ride. The injury was received last Friday, Mr. Holt being in an auto stage coach on his way to a ranch about fifty miles from Ft. Collins. The auto stage coach hit a chuck hole, throwing Mr. Holt from his seat and when he came down his thigh struck the side of the car and the bruise resulted in gangrene setting in. He was taken to a hospital at Ft. Collins and was attended by a friend of his—Dr. Goodings.

LAMAR STATION. – On June 9, 1890, just as the day begun to dawn and the little birds to unfold their wings and give forth their sweet songs as a welcome to the new born day, the death angel came to the home of Alieck Horn and set the wearied spirit of his beloved wife free. She was ready to go. Had on her wedding garment; had her lamp trimmed and burning and was ready to go out and meet the bridegroom at his coming. She has begun a new life in that fair bright clime where there is neither sickness, sorrow, pain nor death. She was born in Franklin county, Tenn., Oct. 30, 1858. When seven months old was adopted by Jas and Nancy Sexton. She never knew any other parents. Alleck Horn and Eliza A. Sexton were married August 8, 1874; was converted and united with the Baptist Church in 1878. Long, tedious and painful has been her sickness, calm and beautiful her death. She died perfectly in her right mind. Gave minute instruction concerning her funeral; regretted leaving husband and children but left the brightest evidence that with her soul all is well. She was a loving, obedient daughter, a devoted wife, an affectionate mother, and a kind neighbor. She leaves 3 children, the youngest six weeks old, a husband and adopted parents to mourn their loss. Her remains were laid to rest in Lamar Station cemetery June 10. Two children preceded her to the grave. The funeral procession was one of the largest. Rev. Henry, of the Free Methodist church officiated at the grave. A funeral sermon is to be preached at some future time.

J. N. Houston, who has been ill for several months, died at his home in this place Tuesday morning. The funeral was from the home Wednesday and burial took place in the Hopkins cemetery. Mr. Houston was a highly respected citizen, a good business man and was employed in the Wray Hardware and Furniture store until his last illness. He was a member of I. O. O. F. Rev.

James Newton Houston, son of Margurate [Margaret] and William Houston, was born April 25, 1867, and died May 31, 1904, aged 37 years, 1 month and 9 days.
He was united in marriage to Miss Hettie Fields April 26th, 1898, Rev. F. D. Beiber officiating. To this union there was born one child, Mabel Houston.
Bro. Houston was converted in Clearmont, Mo., sometime during the winter of 1883 under the ministry of Rev. Wm. VanGundy. He united with the M. E. church and was received into full membership July the 15, 1883 and remained a true faithful member of the church to the end.
Nodaway county had been his home all his life except about ten months spent in Colorado for his health.
He leaves to mourn him, his faithful wife and little girl, father, mother, two brothers and one sister, namely Edgar H. Houston of Pickering, Henry L. Houston of Boise City, Idaho and Mrs. Henry Russel of  Hopkins, Missouri.
Bro. Houston had been afflicted with tuberculosis some time and was taken seriously ill last January. He made a heroic fight for life but in vain. His suffering was intense at times, but he bore it with great fortitude and marvelous patience until death came to his release and set his tired spirit free to go where "The weary are at rest."
The funeral took place from the M. E. church conducted by the pastor and we buried him in the beautiful Hopkins cemetery, the Odd Fellows conducting the burial service according to their ritual. The order deserves large commendation for their loyal faithfulness to Bro Houston during all his last illness; may theirs be a lasting reward.
The esteem in which Bro. Houston was held was shown by the large concourse of friends and neighbors who were in attendance at his funeral, many of whom had ministered to him during his long illness.
Sister Houston and little Mable with the relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends in this their sore bereavement. We commend them to his mercy and care, who said, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee."   J. K. H.

At Rest. Death of Mrs. A. M. Howendobler After Years of Suffering.
Mrs. Etta Howendobler, wife of A. [mzi] M. [artin] Howendobler, of this city, departed this life early on the morning of August 15, 1890. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.[ezekiah] I. [regham] Moses and was born in West Milton, in Miami County, Ohio, February 19, 1854. Her parents moved to Missouri in 1860 and settled in St. Joseph. They moved to Maryville in 1874. Etta was married to Mr. A. [mzi] M. [artin] Howendobler December 28, 1877. Four children were born to them, one of whom preceded its mother to the better land, and three are living. Mrs. Howendobler was stricken with partial paralysis in July 1879 and was a constant sufferer from that time till her death. For five years she had not been able to walk. She was a very patient sufferer, never complaining, and having always an implicit faith in her Savior. Seldom, if ever, has her fortitude and patience been excelled. Death to her was a happy release. The funeral services were held at the house Sunday, at 2 p. m. Rev. J. H. Shelton of the M. E. Church South read the 15th chapter of First Corinthians and offered a fervent prayer. After this, her pastor, Rev. D. M. Yetter, of the M. E. Church, delivered a consoling and pathetic sermon from the words, "She is not dead, but sleepeth." At the close of his sermon there was scarcely a dry eye in the house. The last look was then taken at the familiar face, after which a large procession followed the remains to the Miriam Cemetery. A noble woman has gone to her reward. Her husband was devoted and kind through all her afflictions. The sympathy of all goes out to him and the children and to the aged parents, and the sister of the deceased. But they have this thought to cheer them, that when they are summoned over the river, a cordial greeting awaits them from their loved one who has gone before. "O, Death, where is thy sting? O, Grave, where is thy victory? "

Died at her late residence in Maryville, at 1:30 a. m., Friday, August 15, 1890, Mrs. A. M. Howendobler, aged 36 years, 5 months and 26 days.
Etta Moses was born February 19, 1854, in West Milton, Miami county, Ohio. In 1860 she removed with her family to St. Joseph, Missouri, where they resided until 1874, when the family moved to Maryville where they have since resided. She was married to A. [mzi] M. [artin] Howendobler December 28, 1877, and bore to him four children, one of whom had preceded her to that better land and three are left with their father to mourn his loss of mother and wife.
In July 1879 Mrs. Howendobler was stricken with paralysis from which she never fully recovered, although at times she was better than others. For the past five years, Mrs. Howendobler had not walked a step and during that entire time her devoted husband lifted her in and out of bed every day, she being able to sit in a chair a good portion of the time.
The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. D. M. Yetter, of the First M. E. Church, from the house. The pall bearers were Messrs. W. H. Hudson, D. R. Eversole, L. M. Lane, G. B. Holmes, E. R. Saunders and James Todd. After the services at the house, which were held at 2:30 p. m., Sunday, August 17, 1890, the remains of Mrs. Howendobler were borne to Miriam Cemetery where all that was earthly was laid to rest. Her sufferings are ended and her spirit hovers in watchfulness over the bereaved ones she loved so dearly. We extend our deepfelt sympathy to those left behind and trust their hope of future uniting will be a great sustaining power in these their darkest hours.
