She had been sick for some time past and thought to be in a fair way to recover, but alas, the slender thread which binds life to earth snapped and her spirit took its flight to the God who gave it. She was held in high esteem by all who knew her. She leaves a husband, one child, father, and many sorrowing friends to mourn her loss. Her maiden name was Jennie Knabb and was married to Mr. Taylor about four years ago. They lived happily together until her demise.

Died From His Wounds.
FULLERTON, Neb., August 10. – (Special to the Bee.) Elmer E. Thompson, the young ranchman who was recently wounded by the accidental discharge of his gun, died at 8 a. m. to-day of hemorrhage. Thompson was a young man of brilliant prospects, owner of an extensive ranch and was married but a few months ago to Adele Picot, of St. Louis. His wife was a constant attendant at his bedside and everything that human skill could conceive was done to aid in his recovery but all without avail. Thompson was about twenty-five years of age. The remains will be taken to Maryville, Mo., for burial.

--It is with regret that after days of hoping, Elmer Thompson's wound proved fatal and he died at Fullerton, Neb., yesterday morning. A telegram to Harry Vinsonhaler told of the sad event. The body was taken to Belleville, Ill., for burial, where Mr. Thompson's family lot is. Life is indeed uncertain. The blow will be a hard one for Mr. Thompson. Later intelligence says that Elmer seems to be getting along splendid and that all thoughts of danger had about passed, but at three a. m. Wednesday morning a sudden hemorrhage of the wound commenced and he died in a few moments from loss of blood.

Death of Elmer E. Thompson
The sad intelligence of the death of Mr. Elmer E. [llsworth] Thompson, of Fullerton, Neb., was received by the relatives in this city on Wednesday. Mr. Thompson received a severe gun-shot wound on the evening of July 18th, 1887, by the accidental discharge of his shot-gun and his death was the result of his injury. Letters received here after the accident conveyed the gratifying intelligence that he was doing nicely and that he would recover from the effects of the wound, but [it] appears now that these hopes were based upon a delusive foundation and death resulted as stated.
The deceased was a son of Mr. Alonzo Thompson of Maryville, Mo. and a grandson of Mr. Amos Thompson of this city. The remains will be interred at Green Mount cemetery, near this city this (Friday) morning at 9:30 o'clock from the First Methodist church.

[THOMPSON, ELMER ELLSWORTH, 1861 – 1887]
Belleville Weekly Advocate (Belleville, Illinois), Friday, August 19, 1887
Died at Fullerton, Neb., Aug. 10th, 1887, Elmer E. [llsworth] Thompson, aged 25 years, 8 months and 4 days.
Mr. Thompson was born at Maryville, Mo., Dec. 6, 1861, was the son of Alonzo Thompson, of Missouri, grandson of Amos Thompson and nephew of Cyrus Thompson of this city.
He was a young man of considerable promise and with bright prospects before him. Only a few weeks before the fatal accident, occasioned by the discharge of a gun, he was married to Miss Adele Pecot of St. Louis.
Little did the happy bride look for so speedy a consummation of the bright days before them, but the blow came and she met the crisis with a heroic spirit, watching constantly at his bedside during his intense suffering, kindly attending to his wants as only a loving wife can do.
Though young, Elmer had many friends in this State as well as Missouri. Those who knew him admired him for his honesty and integrity and for the caution he exercised in keeping his word.
Though most of his life was spent in the city, he escaped the temptations into which so many young men are led, refraining from the use of tobacco in any form and successfully guarding against the baneful influence of the social cup.
He was a young man of strong constitution and through life enjoyed the best of health; but all prospects of a career of usefulness in this world came to an untimely end. The angel of death came and bore him away to that world whence no traveller returns.
His remains were brought to Belleville and placed in Green Mount Cemetery. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church and conducted by the Pasters of the M. E. and Baptist churches. Rev. H. E. Fuller of the Baptist preached a short discourse from Ec. 7. 3.
"It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting."

ORRSBURG. – Again we are called to chronicle the death of one of our old pioneers. Ranson N. [oble] Thompson departed this life Sunday, August 23, 1896, at the ripe age of seventy-five years, five months and sixteen days. Mr. Thompson was taken severely ill on Saturday about 2 o'clock with what was supposed to be rheumatism near the lower part of the lungs. Dr. Humphrey was called, who alleviated the pain and Mr. T. was resting seemingly with but little trouble. Between ten and eleven o'clock Sunday he had requested his daughter to prepare some chicken broth for him. While complying with his request she heard her father make a little noise and hurrying to his side, from which she had left but a moment, she found him in the cold embrace of death, not even giving her a word of warning. Mr. T. had been a resident of this country since '70, and was a good neighbor, kind father and husband and had a host of friends, as the large crowd of people who attended his funeral proved. The funeral services were held in the Orrsburg church and conducted by Rev. D. G. Jackson and his remains interred in the church cemetery by those of his wife, who died some six years ago. Mrs. Mercer, his daughter, with her little girl, Maudie, are left alone to battle with life and the world and they have the sympathy and assistance of kind friends and neighbors.

Death of E. C. Tibbetts.
Coroner G. S. E. Vaughan went out to Elmo and held an inquest March 10th, on the body of E. [srom] C. [romwell] Tibbetts, who died suddenly March 9th, in the drug store of Tibbetts & Freeman. A jury composed of J. M. Lamar, Geo. Kinman, W. E. Scott, David Moss, W. B. Piper and William Andrews was empanelled, who, after hearing the evidence of the witnesses and medical experts, returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by heart clot. From the evidence of Dr. Freeman, who was with deceased in the store, it appears that around 9:15 A. M., March 9th, he was talking politics with Tibbetts. Heard a noise and looked around and saw Mr. Tibbetts was falling. He rushed and took hold of him, his first impression being he was fainting. Tried to rally him. Went and got arnica and put it to his mouth and shook him. He called for Mrs. Freeman to go for help, which came. Rubbed him with alcohol but could not revive him. Deceased turned very dark in the face, but his muscles were not rigid.
E. [srom] C. [romwell] Tibbetts was born in Lee county, Iowa, March 18th, 1838, and was consequently nearly 49 years of age at the time of his death. He came with his parents to Nodaway county in 1856 and was engaged in the drug business in Lincoln township for many years. January 26th, 1863, he was joined in marriage to Miss Julia A. Smith, from which union a number of children were born. Deceased was widely known and his sudden death will be regretted by a large circle of friends. He was buried near Elmo Friday with Masonic honors, his funeral being one of the largest ever held in that section of the county.

CLEARMONT – It was not without surprise and grief that the many friends of Mr. Esrom Tibbetts in this town learned of his sudden death of valvular heart disease in Elmo on last Wednesday morning March 9th. The blow, although not entirely unexpected, has fallen with crushing weight alike on the hearts of friends and acquaintances. At this hour, when the heartstrings of love and affection are strained with sorrow and anguish, words of sympathy and condolence can do but little to mitigate that poignant sorrow. Kind friends, you who have been so suddenly bereft of husband, father, brother and friends, look not unto things of this earth for comfort in your sad bereavement but rather let your thoughts ascend to Him who, in the fullness of Omnipotent wisdom doeth only that which is best. Be assured that He never forsakes those who put their trust in Him and will at all times and under all circumstances comfort those in distress who rely on him for support. He, whom you have today surrendered in death has only preceded you to the Glory land. By and by you will be re-united and in that joyful meeting all gloom and sadness will be forever assuaged.

Blakely, then to the cemetery and laid to rest with the beautiful ceremonies of the Free Masons. Truly a good man has fallen. One little son preceded him to the grave. His oldest daughter is married to John Nelson and lives out in Nebraska, was telegraphed for and arrived in time to follow her father's remains to their last resting place, where he sleeps until our loving Heavenly Father shall come and gather His own from all parts of the earth. It was the largest funeral ever in this part of the county. He died in the 49th year of his age. The sad event has cast a gloom over our entire community.

Death of Frank Torrance.
Frank L Torrance, oldest son of Ben F [ranklin] Torrance, deceased, died last Saturday evening at the residence of Henry Torrance, his uncle, in this city, after an illness of two or three months with Bright's disease. Frank was born July 29th, 1852, in Maryville. The funeral services were held at the house last Sunday at 3 p m, conducted by Rev T M S Kenney. Mr Kenney said, in his remarks, that he had frequently visited Frank during his last sickness and that there were reasons to believe that before his spirit had quit its clay tenement that God had spoken peace to his soul. He said, as all who knew Frank will say, that he was generous, open-hearted and that his friendship was of the enduring kind. At the close of the services, the mortal remains were taken to Miriam cemetery and consigned to the tomb. Frank's first wife was Allie Thomas by whom he had one child, a boy. He married a second time at Red Oak, Iowa. Oh, what a pity it is and how sad it is, that young men with manly instincts and amiable disposition should fall into error's ways and pursue the paths of wickedness. Whatever the failings and follies of his life, no one more regretted them than did his own generous and warm heart. When Rev Kenny, a few days before his death, spoke to him about the protracted meeting in progress at the Baptist church, he expressed a wish that he was able to attend. Frank is gone. There were royal elements in his character. Let us hope they will be crowned and sceptered—the dross consumed, but the gold refined.

Called To The Beyond. Death of Frank L. Torrance.
On Saturday evening, Frank L. Torrance was called "to that bourne from which no traveler returns." His death had been looked for for some days, he having been sick for some two months and suffering from a complication of diseases, of which Brights disease of the Kidneys was among the principal. His funeral took place at the residence of his uncle Henry Torrance at 3 o'clock, Sunday. Rev. T. M. S. Kenney preached the funeral sermon and his discourse was one that touched the hearts of all. He said that while the deceased had not lived the life he should, yet in his last days he had seemed deeply repentant and that God was merciful and that we could trust all to Him. The remains were interred in Miriam cemetery.
Frank L. Torrance was well-known in Maryville. His father was the late Benj Torrance, so well-known throughout the county. Frank was his eldest son and was born in Maryville July 29, 1852, making him thirty-five years of age.
Frank was a printer by trade and a good one, but he had worked at it but little for the past few years. He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Alice Thomas. They had one child, a boy, who now resides with his mother, she having secured a divorce some years ago. His second wife was an Iowa lady whom we did not know and with whom Frank had not lived for some time.
Frank was a noble, generous hearted boy, liked by all, but bad habits dragged him down and no one felt it more deeply than himself. In his last sickness it was his deepest sorrow and many were the words he spoke that if permitted to live he would forsake everything that would tend to debase and lead a new life. But Providence ordained otherwise. In the hands of Him who knoweth all things, who judgeth not as man judges, who knoweth our weaknesses and our temptations, we leave him.

Death of C. C. Tuomey.
On the 8th of October 1890, Mr. C. [ornelius] C. Tuomey, a prosperous young dry goods merchant of this city, was joined in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Mary Growney, the amiable and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Growney. That evening they took their departure from the city amid the well wishes and congratulations of legions of friends, with a view of spending some two weeks in the principal cities of the East and then returning to their home. Everything was indicative of a long and happy life before the newly wedded couple. But how little we know of what is to take place in the future. They arrived in St. Louis Friday after the marriage and after dinner he left his wife at the hotel and started to the Union depot on a matter of business. He had got about a block away and met a friend with whom he stopped to talk a moment. When he parted from his friend, he was aiming to cross the street when he was struck by a cable car and was dragged some thirty yards. His spine was dislocated and he has been paralized from the hips down since. He was taken to the city hospital. His wife knew nothing of the accident for three or four hours after it occurred. Mr. and Mrs. Growney and Miss Tuomey, in response to telegrams, went to St. Louis and he was moved to the Sisters Hospital where he was kindly cared for. Dr. Gregory, the eminent physician was called but told his friends he could never recover. A week or so later he was incased in a plaster paris jacket and was brought home, since which time up to his death he has been lying in a helpless condition at the residence of Mr. Growney. Mr. and Mrs. Growney and his devoted young wife have been unceasing in their care of him. But last Friday morning death came and relieved his sufferings. Mr. Tuomey was an exemplary young man and his sad death has cast a gloom over the community. His wife and relatives have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.
Mr. Tuomey was born near Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the year 1855. He came to Maryville about five years ago.
The funeral services were held Sunday at 2 p. m. at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, conducted by Rev. Father Pembroke. The house was filled to overflowing and 110 teams were in the procession to the cemetery.
The relatives attending the funeral outside of Maryville were: Mrs. Tuomey, mother, St. Joseph, Mo.; Chas Diss and wife of Brookfield; Miss M. L. Hoy, St. Joseph; John Tuomey, Condon, Col.; Will Tuomey, Ann Arbor, Mich.
