--Bolckow correspondence to St. Joseph Daily News: Bolckow, February 1. Our village is mourning the death of Mrs. Ella Wood, wife of W. F. Wood, one of the most prominent merchants of this place. Mrs. Wood's maiden name was Dysart, one of the oldest families of Andrew county. Mrs. Wood was a most estimable woman and her death will be deeply mourned. She leaves one child, a boy.

[WOOD, ELEANOR MARY "ELLA" DYSART]

[Poem not transcribed.]
The subject of this notice, Eleanor Mary Wood (nee Dysart), was born at Mt. Vernon, Rock Castle county, Kentucky, January 11th, 1845. Her father, Logan Dysart, with his family, moved to Andrew county, Mo., in 1849. She was converted and joined the Christian church at New Market, Platte county, in 1866. She was married to Warner F. Wood, December 28, 1876, and died January 31st, 1889, at her home in Bolckow, Mo., after sickness of but a few days.
Sister Wood manifested those distinctive Christian graces tht endeared her to all who knew her and her memory remains as a benediction to a large circle of friends. She was the mother of three children, two of whom have preceded her to the Glory land. She was conscious of her approaching end and wholly resigned to the will of her Heavenly Father. She was singularly unassuming. It was a pleasure to be in her company. She with her Christian graces matured by years of fellowship with her Saviour, for the higher and nobler companionship of the upper Sanctuary.
Her religious character was manifested in all her domestic and social life. She was a sincere Christian and an intensely devoted wife and mother. Her joy and happiness consisted in a great measure in pleasing and transmitting joy to her family and friends. Cheerful at all times she made even her sick room a place of enjoyment. She truly died in the Lord. May God bless those who remain. To such a soul as Brother Wood there is but one refuge and that is the Divine love which never fails in darkest hours.

She then became quiet till towards morning, when she called her husband to get up and called Mrs. Nelson. When Mrs. Nelson came in she began to talk about the disposition of her business affairs and said to her husband, "old man, I am going to leave you but don't grieve after me." Mrs. Nelson asked her if she wanted to send for anybody or see any one. She said to send for Judge Johnston to make a will, willing her effects real and personal, to her husband, after funeral expenses were paid. Several persons shortly after entered the room and were standing at the foot of the bed. She looked at them, bade them good-bye, bade Mrs. Nelson good-bye and asked her to meet her in Heaven, then says tell the children good-bye. She gathered up a corner of the blanket, fanned herself and said, "If I could just go now," motioned her husband to turn her on her side and her last words were, "now let me go." Just before breathing her last she said she and her husband had spent two happy years together. Shortly before death she said, "The Angels are Coming Now." She remained conscious till the last. She died at 9:20 and when the clock struck nine counted and correctly told the strokes.
In accordance with her request the funeral services were conducted at the Maryville Baptist church February 8, at 2 p. m. by Rev. T. M. S. Kenney, after which her mortal remains were laid to rest in Miriam cemetery.

Last Wednesday evening Mrs. Wood was engaged in her household work and her two little children were playing about the house. She had just passed into the cellar when she heard the screams of the little boy and on returning found that they upset a coffee pot, spilling the contents into the lap of little Walter, who was riding in a small four wheeled wagon, sitting down in the box. The body and limbs from the waist down were completely cooked and no hopes could be entertained of saving his life. All was done that was possible to give relief but all to no avail.

Laid Away.
Yes, we laid her away. Tenderly, lovingly, mournfully, yet hopefully, to rest undisturbed in "that house appointed for all living" until "the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God" shall break the slumber of the tomb.
Mrs. Nannie A. Wright, the beloved wife of U. S. Wright, died at their residence in Parnell City, Nodaway county, Mo., November 17, 1888.
Nannie was born in Nodaway county, May 26th, 1867, and was the youngest daughter of George and Elizabeth Lucas. At a very tender age she was deprived of both father and mother, when together with three sisters—only one of whom survives her—and two brothers, who still live, she began the sad life of orphanage. But the good Father in Heaven, who has promised to be a Father to the fatherless and the widow's God, ever remembered her, and so in early life she committed herself to Him by following the Lord in baptism and uniting with the Baptist church.
In the year of grace 1885, on the 8th day of April, she was married to Ulysses S. Wright, a son of the late Simeon Wright. Two children were born to them, the youngest a babe three weeks old. Nannie endeared herself to all who knew her by her amiable disposition and kind heartedness, embellished and augmented by the riches of grace. She was a devoted Christian, a loving wife and a tender mother. During the meeting at Mt. Ayr last winter she renewed her Christian covenant and with her husband united with the Methodist church. Thus, she did not neglect the necessary preparation for life's end and could readily respond, "Oh, no! I do not fear to die!" And so confidingly leaning on the promises of Him who has said, "I am the resurrection and the Life" she gently fell asleep—
    Asleep in Jesus! Blessed Sleep!
    From which none ever wake to weep!
She was buried in the family lot at the Swinford Cemetery after the funeral services in the chapel, which stands at the entrance of the cemetery. A very large concourse of people were in attendance at the funeral who listened with the deepest attention to the words spoken and gave evident signs of their sympathy for the bereft and sorrowing ones, and their grief in the loss of one so highly esteemed and prized in the community.
Thus it is, that the good of earth disappear from among us. One by one their feet dip the dark waters of Lethe and soon—ah, how soon! We shall all "turn the dark corner." But the "bow of promise" cheers our hearts with hope. "There shall be no more death."    D. O. H.

At Rest.
Miss Lizzie Yeager, daughter of N. [icholas] and Mary F. Yeager, died Sept. the 10th, at 10:50 P. M., 1890, at the residence of Mrs. M. A. Pond, at Lincoln, Nebraska. She was born in Hancock county, Illinois, June 12, 1862, where she spent 16 years of her youth, then came with her parents to Nodaway county, Missouri, in 1878, where she spent most of her life. She taught school for over six years. She had a loving heart and made friends where ever she was. Lizzie was taken sick the 19th of August with the malarial fever. The doctor did not think her dangerous until Sept. 7th, when she was taken with hemorrhage of the bowels. The doctor telegraphed the 8th to her parents, but through some carelessness in Lincoln they did not receive it. But her father went the 9th and found her very dangerous then, with inflammation of the brain. She was conscious at times, knew her father and was so glad and asked about all of her dear friends at home. She had gone into partnership with Mrs. M. A. Pond, dressmaking. They had become so attached to each other they seemed more like sisters than strangers. Mrs. Pond took good care of her. The doctor, C. A. Shoemaker, who attended her, and her neighbors spoke in the highest praise of Mrs. Pond as a nurse. Her parents are thankful for the kindness and care of her many friends in her sickness and will be remembered in the hearts of her family and ask the blessing of God to shine upon them. She had the consolation of receiving the last Sacraments of the Holy Catholic Church, of which she was a member. Her remains were brought to this city the 12th at 9:45 a. m. at St. Mary's Church, conducted by Reverend Father Anselm. She leaves three sisters, two brothers and parents and many friends to mourn her untimely death.
May her soul rest in peace.  A Friend.

SULPHUR SPRINGS – We learn that T. [albert] P. Young was accidently killed a few days ago while building fence. The wire broke and either the stretcher or a part of a stake hit him on the head, causing almost instant death. Mr. Young lived four miles north of Ames. Several of his sons live in this neighborhood who were immediately summoned. The remains were taken to Missouri for interment, that being his former home.
About the same time a telegram was received here announcing the death of Mr. Walker who was also killed by accident. The gentleman lived in Missouri and is the father of the Walker boys who live in this vicinity. These people are all related to each other and the two accidents happening so close together caused quite a sensation in our neighborhood.
