Died, June 27, at the residence of her son-in-law, J. [ames] M. [onroe] Kenyon, Mrs. Sina Jackson, at the age of nearly 84 years.
She was the wife of Benjamin Jackson, who died some five years ago, and who was so well and favorably known throughout northwest Missouri as agent for the American Tract Society. Mother Jackson, as she was familiarly known throughout this community, had been a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and departed loved and respected by all who knew her. She has left us. We mourn her loss but rejoice that Heaven has received an occupant to die no more. She was called to suffer excruciating pain during her last sickness but could exclaim amid it all, "All is well." Here was no ordinary life, adorning so beautifully the Christian life, the sweet incense of her example will have its fruits long after she has gone and we can only say to her many admirers, "Follow in her pious footsteps." Her funeral was conducted at the M. E. Church by Rev. J. N. Young, of Mound City, assisted by Revs. Herbert, Miller and Downey of this place. The remains were taken to Maryville and deposited by the side of her departed husband. Memorial services were held at the Presbyterian church at Maryville in the afternoon, conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. M. Reynolds, assisted by Rev. J. N. Young. At both services large congregations assembled, attesting their love and respect for the departed and deep sympathy with the bereaved ones. May the benediction of God rest upon them here and hereafter. –Maitland Herald

[JACKSON, WILMER A.]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 28, 1887
Death of Wilmer A. Jackson. A Promising Young Man Cut Down in the Morning of his Manhood.
On Saturday forenoon the sad telegram came from Wichita, Kas., that Wilmer A. Jackson was no more.
Many were the expression of regret, not only on account of a noble young man being taken but on account of the stricken parents, whose only child he was and who looked upon him as the apple of their eye.
Wilmer took to his bed with malarial fever on July 11, although he had been complaining for several days before and was very miserable. On the 13th, his mother received a telegram and went to his bedside. He seemed to be getting better but lasts Wednesday evening he was suddenly taken worse and sank rapidly and died Saturday morning at 4 o'clock.
W. [illiam] W. Jackson, his father, was telegraphed to on Thursday and arrived in Wichita on Friday evening. Wilmer knew him and Mr. Jackson had the consolation of being with him in his last hours.
Although suffering great pain before, his last hours were comfortable, and he sank into the arms of death as if going to sleep.
The body arrived here on Saturday evening on the 8:40 train. It was accompanied by four of the employes of the Lombard Investment Company in whose employ Wilmer was.
The funeral took place at 2 o'clock p. m. Monday at the family residence.
Rev. T. M. S. Kenney read the scriptures, Rev. Cory offered prayer, and then remarks were made by Rev. Gerhart and Rev. Workman. Wilmer had been a pupil of the latter and was much beloved by him. The body was consigned to rest in Oak Hill cemetery.
Wilmer A. Jackson was born in Chester county, Pa., on January 15, 1862, making him twenty-five years of age last January. His parents moved here when he was but five years of age and he grew to boyhood and manhood here in Maryville.
About three years ago he went to work for the Lombard Investment Co. of Creston, Iowa. Two years ago the firm moved to Kansas City. By his attention to business and regular habits, Wilmer was rapidly promoted and soon became one of the most trusted clerks of the company.
At the beginning of the present year he traveled for the firm about three months, looking after the land they owned.
In May he was made the manager of the mortgage department of the firm at Wichita, Kas., a responsible position and one commanding a high salary. His parents heard with pride of his promotion but alas how soon was death to crush all fond hopes.
The following letter written by Mr. James L. Lombard to the sorrowing parents, shows in what esteem he was held by his employers:
Kansas City, Mo. July 23, 1887. – "Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jackson; The sad news came this morning of the death of your son, W. A. Jackson, at Wichita. You have my sympathy in your bereavement.
My recollections of your son will always be pleasant. He was a general favorite among our force and in the community where he so short a time resided. I don't believe he had an enemy in the world. He had my entire confidence and my personal friendship and it may be some consolation in your sorrow to remember that he lived so true and noble a life, and his place will be missed and hard to fill.  Yours sincerely James L. Lombard."

Death of Wilmer A. Jackson. A Promising Young Man cut Down in the Very Prime of Life.
Death is sad come when it will and to whom it may; but it appears doubly sad when it comes and summons from the earth-life a young man who has entered upon a business career, honorable and useful, and full of bright promise for the future.
Wilmer A. Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Jackson of this city, died at Wichita, Kansas, last Saturday morning, July 23, 1887. He took down with malarial fever July 11th. Mrs. Jackson, his mother, went to him on July 13th and remained by his bedside till the end came. He got along quite well until the Wednesday before his death when he took worse. His father was sent for. Mr. Jackson got to Wichita Friday evening, his son dying the next morning at an early hour. His remains arrived at Maryville on Saturday evening's K. C. train. The funeral services were held at the family residence Monday, July 25, at 2 P. M. Rev. Kenney read appropriate Scriptures. A touching, fervent prayer was offered by Elder N. E. Cory and consoling and comforting remarks were made by Rev. J. A. Gerhard and Rev. A. D. Workman. The remains were laid at rest in Oak Hill cemetery.
Wilmer A. Jackson was born January 15, 1862, in Chester county, Pennsylvania and at the time of his death was 25 years, 6 months and 15 days of age. He was the only child of his parents. His parents moved to Maryville in 1868. Wilmer went to work for the Lombard Investment Company three years ago at Creston, Iowa. The Company moved from there to Kansas City, in April 1886. He received several promotions for faithfulness and efficiency and the first three months of the present year, 1887, he was engaged in traveling for the Company, looking after farms which they had mortgages on to secure loans. In May the Company sent him to Wichita to superintend its business there, at a salary of $125 per month.
His death is a heavy blow to his father and mother and the entire community sympathizes with them in their sore affliction. Wilmer was a model young man in every respect and was his mother's pride and joy.
The following shows the esteem in which he was held by his employer:
Kansas City, Mo. July 23, 1887. – "Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jackson: -- We had news come this morning of the death of your son, W. A. Jackson, at Wichita. You have my sympathy in your bereavement.
My recollections of your son will always be pleasant. He was a general favorite among our force and in the community where he so short a time resided. I don't believe he had an enemy in the world. He had my entire confidence and my personal friendship and it may be some consolation in your sorrow to remember that he lived so true and noble a life, and his place will be missed and hard to fill.  Yours sincerely James L. Lombard."

Mrs. Kate Jeffers Dead.
A Suffer With Asthma For 14 Years, During Which Time She Could Not Lie Down to Rest.
Kate Beam was born in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania May 19, 1829, and died at her home in Hopkins, Mo., July 20, 1902, aged 72 years 2 months and [?] day.
She came west with her family to Muskateen, Iowa, in 1852. She was married to Dennis Jeffers at Muskateen, Iowa, Sept. 25, 1826 [1856]. In 1858 with her husband, she moved to Nodaway county, Mo., and settled on a farm 6 miles west of Hopkins where her son, William Jeffers, now lives. In 1870 they moved to a farm about 3 ½ miles north of their Missouri home and in Taylor county Iowa. After her husband's death which occurred 13 years ago, she moved to Hopkins, where, in her own home, she lived until her decease. She was converted in early life before leaving her eastern home and joined the Evangelical church; after moving to Iowa she joined the Methodist Episcopal church of which she was a member over 46 years. She was more than a nominal member, as I always found her interested and willing to support the church with her means. She was the mother of five children, four of whom are still living, all being present at the funeral, namely, Abe and Wm. Jeffers and Mesdames O. T. Snodgrass and Edward Jeffers.
Sister Jeffers was a great sufferer from asthma. For 14 years she never layed down to rest. Think of a fourteen year's battle for air enough to live on, where air is so plentiful and yet that is literally what she did and did it with a fortitude and a patience that could but impress all who knew her with the ennobling qualities of her character. But rest came at last and she has entered upon her reward.
The funeral was conducted on Tuesday by the writer at the Shearer church. C. H. J.

Death By His Own Hand.
On Friday of last week, Mr. Adam Johnson, father of Mrs. Georgia Williams, who lives about four miles west of Maitland, was found dead with a pistol ball wound in his forehead. A coroner's jury was summoned, who after viewing the body and hearing the testimony returned a verdict of death by suicide. The following is in substance the testimony: That Mr. Johnson was about seventy-two years of age and that for some time past had been making his home at the residence of his daughter Mrs. Georgia Williams. On the morning of March 1st Mrs. Williams with her son went to Maitland, leaving the old gentleman at home. Shortly after she left he went to a neighbor's house (Mr. Artt's) and borrowed a pistol, saying he wanted to kill a dog. When Mrs. Williams came home she found the body seated on a box in the back porch with a bullet wound in the center of his forehead, all life being extinct.
The finding of the jury was in keeping with the facts and surrounding circumstances; ill health and despondency probably being the cause. It is suggested by some that the shooting might have been accidental. No blame attaches to any one in this unfortunate affair and Mrs. Williams has the sympathy of the entire community. The body was buried Saturday. – Maitland Herald.

A Sudden Summons. Death of Uncle William Johnston on November 16, 1887.
On last Wednesday evening, November 17, this community was surprised and shocked with the sad news that Uncle William Johnston, a man we had all learned to love and respect, had suddenly died at his residence south of town. He had been suffering with failing health for some time past, still he was able to be about his favorite employment in his orchard and vineyard. On Wednesday he had worked in the vineyard in the forenoon, ate his dinner with his family and lay down on a cot to take his accustomed after dinner nap. Sometime afterwards the family found him laying on the floor beside the cot cold and calm in the icy bands of death.
William Johnston was born in Ross county Ohio, March 19, 1818, and died at Burlington Junction, Missouri, November 16, 1887, aged 69 years, 7 months and 27 days.

PARNELL – On Monday night, Oct 21st, 1889, the mother of Mr Horace Jones went to bed as well as usual and on Tuesday morning was discovered dead in her bed. It threw a gloom of darkness over the family and our community. She was formerly a resident of your city and came here to spend her last days wit her son and daughter, Mrs. Hurley. Her son, Horace Jones, brought her to his home on the Sabbath previous to her death, but only had the privilege of spending a few hours with his dear mother till she was gone. Her sorrow is o'er. Her toil is ended. The deceased was about sixty-nine years of age. She had years ago made a profession of faith in Christ and united with the Christian church. The remains were taken to the M. E. church, where her funeral was conducted by the pastor, Rev E V Roof, assisted by Rev O Deshler, after which her remains were taken to the Sweet Home cemetery and laid to rest till the resurrection of the Great Day, when they that sleep in Christ shall be brought forth to life that will know no death. Oh! that the children may be ready when the messenger comes, whether suddenly or by slow disease.
[Note: The death date on her headstone, November 19, 1889, would appear to be an error.

Old Settler Passes Away. David Jones Died at the Home of His Son Wednesday Morning.
David Jones, son of Samuel and Mary A. Jones, was born in Ross county, Ohio, on December 13, 1831. He was married to Eliza A. Haynes at Chillicothe, Ohio, on November 14, 1855. To this union three children were born: Mrs. Nina G. Owens, J.[ames] E. Jones and George H. [aynes] Jones, all of whom survive him. His wife died September 19, 1889. He has lived with his son, J. E. Jones, the past sixteen years and being of a helpful disposition never felt himself in the way and none but the bereaved family can tell how he will be missed from the home.
In his demise our community loses one of its honored and most highly respected citizens. Quick and unassuming, those who knew him esteemed him most. Last winter he had a severe attack of pneumonia but became well enough to be around about the farm until Sunday evening when he had a stroke of apoplexy from which he died at 1:05 a. m. Wednesday May 8th 1907. His children, Mrs. Nina G. Owens of Omaha, Jas. E. Jones of this place and Geo. H. Jones, also of Omaha, were present at the funeral, also many other relatives. There are five living grand-children and two great grandchildren and one grandson on the other shore.
He was the oldest of eight children of whom only two brothers and one sister survive. The bereaved ones have the heartfelt sympathy of all.    Alice M. Peters.

Sad Death of James E. Jones. Prominent Farmer Taken in the Prime of Life.
James E. Jones of rural route No. 3, died in the Woodson Private Sanitarium in St. Joseph, last Tuesday morning, aged 50 years, 1 month and 23 days.
Mr. Jones was afflicted with nervous prostration brought on by overwork and the exposure incident to the same about one month ago and was taken to Woodson Sanitarium in St. Joseph for treatment. At first the reports were encouraging, but during the last week or ten days it has been known that he was in a very serious condition, although hopes were entertained of his complete recovery, so the news of his death on Tuesday was a shock to the community.
James E. Jones, son of David and Eliza Jones, was born in Chillicothe, Ross county, Ohio, January 29, 1860. He came to Nodaway county in 1884, locating in this community. On September 24, 1891, he was united in marriage to Ada M. Brogan. To this union were born three children, of whom one, Frank Hobart Jones, died April 25, 1902. The other two children, Neva Elizabeth and Nina Blanche, are left with their mother. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Nina Jones Owens of Omaha and a brother, George H. Jones of Lincoln.
During the camp meeting of 1893 Mr. Jones was converted and united with the M. E. church under the pastorate of Rev. C. J. Warner. He was also a member of Wilcox Lodge No. 589 I. O. O. F. and of Burlington Junction Camp M. W. A. in which he held a policy of $3000.
The body was brought home Wednesday morning and the funeral was held at the M. E. church at 1:30 p. m. Thursday, Rev. Lane Douglass conducting the services. The text was from I John, 2, 17: "And the world and the lust thereof passeth away, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever." The church auditorium was filled with those who came to pay the last sad tribute to the memory of this good man. Following the services at the church the body was laid away in the Ohio cemetery by his brother Odd Fellows, the beautiful ritualistic ceremony of the order being used.
The floral offerings were very fine, but we failed to secure a list of those sending them.
Few men have more warm-hearted friends in any local community. He was honest and fair in his dealings with his fellowmen. Enterprising and industrious—in fact too hard-working for his own good, devoted to his home and his interesting little family—ever ambitious that they might be well provided for and his children educated, he remained at his home and labored unceasingly. Few men will ever be missed more and more sincerely mourned than "Jimmie Jones," the devoted husband, loving father, good neighbor, faithful friend and honest citizen.

LAMAR STATION – Frank E. [dwin] Joy, one of Elmo's live merchants; a leading member of the M. E. church, South, a public spirited and a good man in general passed over the river of death last Sunday night at 12 o'clock. On Tuesday of fair week at Maryville he attended with a pain in his head; came home at night and took to his bed. At first the doctors pronounced it brain fever; then it assumed typhoid form. On Thursday of last week he was thought to be much better, but it was only a delusion. Dr. Aiken, of Elmo, and Dr. Otis, of Malvern, Iowa, had charge of the case, but Dr. Gaugh and Dr. Freeman of Clearmont and Dr. Halliday, of Blanchard, was called in consultation. All that money could purchase and loving hearts and hands could do was done. But our Heavenly Father had said, it is enough, come up higher. And he is too wise to err, and too good to be unkind to anyone. The funeral sermon of Mr. Joy was preached on the 1st of October in the South M. E. church in Elmo, by Rev. Edmunds of Clearmont, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Braddyville cemetery by those of his father and brother John. He leaves a mother, wife and two children, two brothers and two sisters, and ever so many relatives and friends to mourn his early departure. He was a member of the A O U W and was cut down by the cycle of death in the prime of life. A deep gloom has settled over our entire community.

DIED. – Sunday, July 1, at 12:30 p. m., Little Anna Joyce, at the residence of her grandfather, Mr. Robert Graham, of Jackson township. Deceased was a bright and promising little girl of eight years. She was born in Alphaville, Pennsylvania, March the 1st, 1880. In 1884 her parents moved to Nodaway county and located on a farm in Jackson township. A few months after this location Mrs. Joyce died, leaving her husband and three children, Anna, deceased, Mamie and Johnnie, who still survive her. After the death of Mrs. Joyce, Mamie and Anna, to the time of her demise, lived with their grandparents, who cared for them with more, if possible, than parental care. Anna's death was due to cerebro spinal disease, with which she suffered intensely since the 25th of April. All medical remedies failed to produce any relief whatever. For forty-two days previous to her death she rejected all kinds of food or nourishment, except about a tablespoonful of water every few hours. All that tender hearts and willing hands could do for her was done. Death only could give relief to the meek little sufferer. Her mortal remains were conveyed to the Catholic cemetery in Conception, followed by a large number of friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Father Placidus, who celebrated a solemn requiem mass. [Poem not transcribed.]
