[KEEFE, CATHERINE "KATIE"]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, January 30, 1890
Died, January 23, 1890, Katie, oldest daughter of Mrs. Arthur Keef, of Jackson township. Deceased was a strong and promising young lady until some months previous to her death consumption took her within its grasp and bore all that was immortal of Katie from its tenement of clay. Her illness was long but only at intervals severe and her suffering she bore with great patience and Christian fortitude. Having been prepared for death by receiving the full and last rites of the church to which she belonged she died happy.
While death to her seemed certain it came when least expected. Wednesday night she requested all the family to retire and leave her alone for the night. Her mother staid with her and she slumbered lightly till about 1 o'clock, then calling to her mother she sank as if in a peaceful slumber and was dead.
Katie came to Nodaway county with her parents in 1881 and in the community where she lived made hosts of friends. But her sun went down in the morning life. Kate was a devoted and industrious daughter to her widowed mother, an affectionate sister, a social companion, a loving friend, a good and pure hearted girl. Her death was a sad blow to her family and when youth and pleasure meet in friendship's  social circle her genial companionship will long be regretted and missed by many of her associates.
A requiem mass was celebrated for the deceased by Rev. Fr. Placidus in the catholic church in Conception and her remains followed by a multitude of friends were interred by the side of her father in the Conception cemetery. Mrs. Keef and family have the sympathy of their friends in their bereavement. Rest in peace, dear friend.  L.

HERRON – Mr. Yager attended the funeral of Julia Keefe, Thursday, held at Clyde. Miss Keefe died of consumption.

[KEEFE, JULIA]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, June 6, 1889
On Wednesday at 10 minutes past 3:00 a. m., one of Nodaway's fairest flowers passed away in the full bloom of young womanhood, surrounded by kind friends and attentive relatives. The grim hand of the destroyer stole in and grasped his own and numbered Miss Julia Keef another victim to his remorseless greed. Why is it that she must go? One so good, so kind, so fair. Her's was a life without a blemish, her every act was one of kindness, her tongue uttered no words of malice, and where it could not praise was silent. And that firm, strong, handsome, womanly face was an index of a character of that pure soul who lived only that others should be happy. Self denial to her was a pleasure if it was conducive to the happiness of others. And yet that grand embodiment of all that was good and great, without a shadow and without a flaw must pass away. No power could stay the dark, shadowy hand of death.
The best physicians could give no words of comfort, so nothing was left to do by her heart sick relatives and sorrowing fiends, but to watch from day to day the departing soul. She received repeatedly the consolation of the Catholic church of which she was a devout member.
No pains was spared by her sister and brother in law, Wm. Merrigan (where she departed) to make her road to the great unknown happy; for the past month neither of those good souls knew of a continued night's sleep of any length. As poor Julia was good to others in need, she found others equally true.
Her many friends showed their regard in forming the largest procession that ever went to Conception's city of the dead. May her soul rest in peace.

Maitland Herald (Maitland, Missouri), May 15, 1902
Emma Jackson was born in Fairview, Ohio, July 17, 1847, and passed away May 9, 1902, in Kansas City, Missouri.
In the year 1867 she came with her parents to Fillmore, Mo., at which place she was united in marriage to J. [ames] M. [onroe] Kenyon, Nov. 11, 1869. She moved with her husband to Maitland, Mo., in August 1881, where she resided until removed by death. To them were born three children, Clyde M., Willie, who died in infancy, and Minnie E.
Mrs. Kenyon was from her youth a believer in Jesus Christ as her Saviour and at the age of 14 united with the Presbyterian church at Fairview, Ohio. She was a charter member of the Presbyterian church of Maitland. From early youth she was devoted to her Master and active in every good work.
Those who knew her best in this community feel that they have lost a very dear personal friend. Her lovely Christian life was a benediction to many. The quiet influences which she exerted as wife, mother and friend and her unselfish devotion to Christ and his church will continue to perform a grand mission over which the angels in heaven rejoice. She now rests from her labour and her works follow her.
Although our departed friend was caused to pass through the deep waters of affliction yet she maintained a strong faith in God and came forth as gold refined by fire. She remained conscious until a short time before her death and sent the following message to her friends in Maitland, "Give my love to all my dear friends."
The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church of Maitland, conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. E. Caldwell, who was assisted by Rev. Samuel Knupp, Rev. W. L. Bagley and Rev. T B. Dry.

--The death angel came to the home of Geo. Kinman last Saturday and set the tired grieving spirit of his wife free. She was the bride of his youth. The mother of his children, who are all grown up and all except one are married. Mrs. Kinman has been in poor health for some time and the drowning of her son Fred, in the Nodaway river recently, no doubt hastened her death. She could not become reconciled to his loss; many people believe that it can be truly said of her, she died of a broken heart. The last thing she did was to look at Fred's picture in an album and fell fainting and did not fully recover. She was a good woman, looked well to the ways of her house hold. She was a devoted wife and a loving mother. Husband and children sincerely mourn her departure and have the deepest sympathy of all their friends. The funeral services were held in the M. E. church in Elmo, and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near Elmo, by the side of those of the son she so much loved. Rev. Bostwick officiated. It is best to trust in Him, who doeth all things well.

Elizabeth Yeagar Kinman was born May 20, 1837, in Vermillion county, Illinois, and died at her home in Elmo, Mo., July 24, 1897, aged 60 years, 2 months and 4 days.
On the 13th of March, 1859, Miss Yeagar was happily married to Mr. George Kinman, to whom she was an helpmeet indeed. To this union were born eight children, three of whom preceded their mother to the future world, while five, with the husband, mourn their great loss.
At the age of fourteen years, Sister Kinman professed religion and joined the Baptist church, in which she lived in good standing till 1865, when she came west and united with the Church of God. Subsequently the organization disbanded and she, with her husband, joined the M. E. Church, South, in which she lived till she joined the church triumphant.
For two years past she was a great sufferer, but through it all she endured with equally as great fortitude and patience. A dutiful wife, loving mother and good woman has gone.
Funeral services were conducted by her pastor at the M. E. Church, South, Sunday afternoon, July 25, 1897, the text selected being the language of St. Paul, recorded in II Cor. 15: 55, and oft repeated by the deceased.

George W. Kinman – George Kinman has for months waged a one sided battle for life, as in the mechanical world, so in the physical—machinery will give way. On December 28th, 1916 he gracefully departed this life for his eternal abode.
George Kinman was born in Boone Co., Ind., October 29th, 1835 and with his parents moved to Ill. In 1847, later came to Mo., in the fall of 1865, settling in the vicinity of Elmo.
In 1859 was married to Miss Elizabeth Yager; of this union was born nine children namely, William F. [ranklin], Robert D., George H. [enry], Eliza J., Mary C.[atherine] , John R. [uel], Chas. H. [arvey], Dora O. and Fred M. The wife and four children have passed to the beyond.
On October 19th 1907, George Kinman was married to Mary Yaple, who with the five children of the former wife, are left to mourn his loss.
In 1880 the deceased gave himself to Christ and united with the M. E. church, South in Elmo, of which church he has been a faithful member, also an officer for several years. In the death of George Kinman a place has been made vacant which cannot be filled. The church has lost a faithful member, the state has lost a good citizen, the wife has lost a devoted husband, and the children a loving father.
The whole community extends their deepest sympathy to the bereaved. After services Friday afternoon Dec. 29, conducted by Rev A. Snowden, the remains were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery, to await the resurrection morn.

Death of Mrs. W. F. Kinman
George W. Kinman got a telegram last week saying that the wife of his son, Frank, living near Parsons, Kas., had died Monday night previous but he was unable to go and get there in time for the funeral on account of the railroad connections.
From a letter received by him since that time, we learn that her death was very sudden and unexpected, she having been in her usual health on the day preceding her death at night. The funeral was held Wednesday and burial in the vicinity.
She was a good woman and well known here among the older settlers where she has many relatives and friends, who sympathize with the husband and children in their sad hour of bereavement.

Mustered Out. Death of Valentine Korell of Barnard.
One of the best known citizens, not only of Barnard, but of Nodaway county, passed away last Friday. Valentine Korell is no more.
Mr. Korell has been in poor health for years and for the past two years has been expecting his summons at any time. Last Friday about 11 o'clock a. m. he was suddenly stricken with something like paralysis and lay unconscious until about five o'clock p. m., when he quietly passed away.
His funeral services took place at the Presbyterian Church in Barnard at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. The deceased was an Odd Fellow, and he was buried under the auspices of that order. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. S. F. Wood, of the Baptist church, assisted by the Rev. DeLong, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Hopkins. It was one of the largest funerals ever had in the county. It is estimated that full 1,500 persons attended. The procession of secret orders was an imposing one. There were seventy-three Odd Fellows, sixteen Masons and seventeen Grand Army men in line.
It is estimated that nearly 1000 persons viewed the corpse, taking them nearly an hour to do so.
The ceremony at the grave was impressive, Judge F. D. Snyder, of Maryville acting as chaplain.
Valentine Korell was born in Prussia, March 11, 1830. He there obtained a good education and served in the Prussian army for two years. He immigrated to the United States in 1851, coming directly to Missouri and in March 1851 settled in Nodaway county thus being one of our oldest settlers. He started the first blacksmith shop in the southern part of the county. He went to Pike's Peak in the spring of 1869 but returned home in the fall of 1860 [?]. When war came, Mr. Korell was a staunch Union man and on June 13, 1861, enlisted in the 13th Missouri Volunteers. On Sept. 10th he was promoted to captain. On Sept. 21st he was taken prisoner at Lexington, Mo., at the surrender of Mulligan at that place.
He was discharged but re-enlisted in the Twenty-fifth Missouri and was First Lieutenant of Company B. He participated in the bloody battle of Shiloh and was at the siege of Corinth. But the hardships of camp proved too much for him and on June 28, 1862, he was discharged broken in health and has been in poor health ever since.
In 1862 he was Register of the land office. In the fall of that year he was elected Justice of the Peace and he held that office continuously for sixteen years. He then refused to serve, but for the last four years has held the office again and only a month before his death was almost unanimously re-elected.
Mr. Korell always took a great interest in public affairs and was one of Barnard's most wide awake and enterprising citizens. He was engaged in trade for several years after the war and amassed quite a competency.
Mr. Korell was twice married, first to Miss Elizabeth Billings in 1851. By this Union he had six children. Mrs. Korell died in 1867. In 1868 he was united in marriage to Miss Bettie W. McBrine [McBrien]. By this union he had one child. One of his children, Segal, died a few weeks ago.
Mr. Korell was a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges and a member of the G. A. R. For years he has been a member of the Baptist Church. No citizen of Barnard has been more closely identified with her interest than Mr. Korell. The appreciation in which he was held was shown by his immense funeral. His loss will be deeply felt by the community and his place will be hard to fill. Mr. Korell was a pensioner and in all probability that will now go to his wife.

A Prominent Citizen Gone. Death of 'Squire Valentine Korell, of Barnard.
'Squire Valentine Korell, widely known throughout the county and in Northwest Missouri, died at his home in Barnard last Friday, April 22, 1887, at five o'clock P. M. of heart disease and paralysis. He was stricken down about eleven o'clock of that day and survived until five. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church, at Barnard, last Sunday, the sermon being preached by Rev. J. S. F. Wood, of the Baptist church, of which denomination deceased was a member. Rev. De Long, Presbyterian minister, who resides at Hopkins, was present and assisted in the services. The remains of the deceased were followed to the Barnard cemetery by a very long procession. Our informant says fully a thousand people were at the funeral and in the procession. At the grave the burial ceremonies of the Odd Fellows were gone through with, conducted by Judge F. D. Snyder who officiated as chaplain. There were about 70 Odd Fellows in line—23 from Maryville, 11 from Rosendale, 9 from Bolckow and the balance from the Barnard lodge. Sixteen Masons were in line and several Grand Army men. The following sketch of Mr. Korell's life we find in the "Nodaway County History:"
"Valentine Korell was born in Prussia, March 11, 1830, and there received a good education. Under the law there, he entered the army as a volunteer in the artillery service in 1848, remaining for two years. Coming to this state in 1851, he settled in Nodaway county in March of that year and started the first blacksmith shop in his part of the county. In the spring of 1859, he went to Pike's Peak with other adventurers. He was elected president of the claim court and after remaining in that locality for a year or so, he returned October 1860, having been unfortunate in some of his transactions. On June 13, 1861, Mr. Korell enlisted in the 13th Missouri Volunteers and at Lexington, Mo., he was promoted to Captain September 10, 1861. On September 21, he was taken prisoner. He was discharged during the December following and at the same time re-enlisted in the 25th Missouri Volunteers as first lieutenant of Company B, participating in the battles of Shiloh and Corinth. He was discharged for disability June 28, 1862, and returned home. In 1863 he was register of the land office and in the fall of that year was elected Justice of the Peace which he has held almost continuously since. At one time he owned a portion of the land where Barnard is built but he disposed of many of his lots and has done considerable building. Mr. Korell was twice married. His first wife was Elizabeth Billings, by whom he had six children. She died December 22, 1867. He was married the second time to Betty W. McBrine [McBrien], May 30, 1868. They had one child."
'Squire Korell was a public spirited citizen and his death will be a great loss to the community in which he has been an active and useful member for many years.
