Died - May 24th, at the residence of her sister, Mrs Sarah Johns, Mrs Martha Vincil, wife of Thomas Vincil, formerly of Atchison county.

Miss Martha A. Crabtree was born and raised in Coshocton county, Ohio. When grown she came west and was married to Mr Vincil of this county, where they resided until last fall, when they moved to Flowerdale, Neb. About five weeks ago Mrs V sent word to her sister that she would like to come back to her Missouri home to die. Mrs Johns went out to see her and brought her back to her home, where up to the day of her death her suffering was intense. Having been burned when young the burn was never properly healed and erysipelas set in then taking a cancerous form the flesh was eaten off nearly to the bone in places. Kind friends and neighbors surrounded her during her illness, seeming to vie each other in gratifying her every wish. Her suffering was so severe that for days before her death she prayed constantly that she might die.

Rousing from a stupor on her last day she appeared to wish something, her sister, stepping to her side, asked what she wanted when she replied, "O Sister I want to die." In a few moments she was gone, her Savior had come to bear her soul to His mansion above, where sorrow and suffering are no more.

A kind husband, one child and a host of friends are left to mourn the loss of her who has gone Home, to await their coming bye and bye.

Cards are out announcing the marriage of Mayor Frank M. Posegate and Miss Emily P. Cashman of Taunton, Massachusetts. He will depart for that place tomorrow and will be accompanied by Hon John S.

Harry Jackson, aged 7 years, and Lorenzo French aged 8 years, were drowned in the One Hundred and Two river west of Bolckow, Monday morning. They had gone there without the knowledge of their parents for the purpose of bathing. It appears that they were accompanied by a third boy, aged 6 years. He was afraid of a whipping on his return and hence did not give the alarm. It was not, therefore, until some hours later that a search was instituted. The clothes of the missing boys were found on the river bank. The whole neighborhood has been assisting in dragging the river, but up to this (Thursday) evening the search has been fruitless.

Uncle Jake Hughes and John G. Burg, of Linden, were both born in the same year and on the same day. Old father time has dwelt more gently with the latter, as a stranger would under-estimate his age from fifteen to twenty years. They were born in October, 1822. John W. Smith follows in the wake of these gentlemen about one month.

Sheriff Gray went up to Council Bluffs last week in search of one James Campton who was charged with the crime of seduction. He was secured and brought to this city and the father of the unfortunate girl, I.W. Scranton, of Westboro, notified of his capture. The young man expressed his willingness to marry the girl and he claims that all this trouble and disgrace would have been avoided had not the "powers that be" objected so strenuously. Mr S. and his daughter arrived in this city on Monday and a few hours thereafter Judge Joslyn was called within the scene and spoke the words that made the two hearts beat as one. The bride's father therefore dismissed the suit and what would have resulted in a very disagreeable suit terminated as it should have done when matrimonial notions were first intimated.

Watson Burnett of Sacramento, Calif arrived in this city this week and had the pleasure of meeting his brother Rodney for the first time in Forty-six years--almost a half century. When the former gentleman knocked at the door of the latter, he was invited in and the compliments of the day exchanged without recognition. When he made himself known, we don't like to say that "grandpap" danced for joy, but he was wonderfully tickled.

ATCHISON COUNTY JOURNAL, July 22, 1882, Saturday

Among the Red Men- Nohart, Neb, Jul 7, 1882, Mr Editor: Perhaps many of your readers are not aware that within fifty miles from their homes, there resides about 200 of their red brethren, so I will try and give a short account of the great Nemaha Agency, as it is termed.

This Reserve was granted about twenty-two years ago, including about 24,000 acres along the Nemaha, near White cloud, Kansas, being partly in Kansas and partly in Nebraska. There are the remnants of three tribes here, namely: Iowa's, Sac's and Foxes, of which there are about 136 of the former and 90 of the latter, besides 30 to 40 of other tribes. Within the past two years some 100 of the Iowa's have gone to the Indian Territory to live. Some of the chiefs went to Washington in March last, to get permission to move to that country but failed. The tribes each have four chiefs; the Sac leader's name is Quash-Quamee, and the Iowa's Mah-Hee. These exercise partial authority over the tribes.

There is a Mission building which is used for a boarding house for the pupils while attending school, as many of them live far away. They have five rooms; each sleeping room having from two to four beds. The building is a fine one, finely grained and hard finished through-out. The lower rooms are a chapel where Sunday School and other devotional exercises are held. Sewing room used by the seamstress to make garments for children, or teach them to use the needle, boys wash and play room, girls wash and play room, dining room and kitchen. The laundry is in the basement. The school house i about 100 yards from the mission house. There are over 40 pupils who attend the greater part of the time, and the teacher says they are quite as apt as the white children, and are easily governed. The annuity per capita is about $100 per year, which is raised by the sale of lands, etc.

Mr A. Broznis is the agent employed by the government at a salary of $1,000 per year; the others in charge are as follows: Farmer, at $600 per year; matron, $400; seamstress, $400; teacher $500, and cook $300. There are also a blacksmith, carpenter and clerk who are paid according to the amount of work they do, and a trader, who has a store and does most of his trading with them.

The older Indians speak through interpreters even though they can speak plain English. The children nearly all speak plain and dress in citizens clothes but some older ones keep up the old customs. The entire out-lay per year in cash is nearly $23,000. For several years this Agency has been under the management of the Society of Friends, of Philadelphia, and many present are sent to them from that city.

The Indians are very courteous to visitors and try to make one feel at home if you visit them. Indian Mose, with whom I rode to White Cloud, was jolly and talkative; he said he just took a little fire-water once in a while. I gave him a cigar instead. I visited their cemetery, which was a collection of small enclosures about 8x10, most of them having posts set into the ground and heavy railing nailed to them. Each family has a separate yard. Their mode of burying is to dig a grave about five feet dep and lay the corpse in it provided with a box of trinkets and sticks, then put logs across the top of the grave, not filling as we do, and heaping the dirt upon these. Some old graves have fallen in, as the logs have rotted. There are from one to three bundles of sticks, perhaps twenty in a bundle by each grave that is still cherished by friends.

They take Sunday as a day for dances and ball playing. Some of them have plenty of stock and are getting rich; some have organs, sewing machines, etc. Some take the papers and keep posted in the world's doings. After staying with them two days and observing them closely, I am much impressed with them and really wish that those who are so prejudiced against the red men of the United States would go and see how much they may change by giving them a chance.

The agency will soon be under the control of the Pottawattamie agent of Kansas. Henry I.

Died - Harvey Powers, who died on the 5th of July at York, Atchison county, Mo., settled the farm where he died in May 1870 (or 1876?) He was the second son of Silas and Dianna Powers born in the town of Scribus? Owsego county, NY July 29th? 1843? hence was nearly 39? years of ago. At the age of 19 he entered the Union army, where he served until the close of the war, when he came to Iowa, and on May 17, 1870, he was married to Miss Theda L. Wait of Mount Pleasant, Iowa. The close of his life was as serene as a cloudless summer evening. He was a most affectionate husband, a member of the M.E. Church a good citizen, and a neighbor whose kindness is praised by all who knew him. Thus ends a life filled only with pleasant memories. The mourning wife has the deepest sympathy of all the community.

Died - Ora Hurst. Los Angeles, Calif, June 30, 1882: Dear Brother and family, This morning finds us in tears and grief over the loss of our dear Ora.

Called two physicians; one attended regularly, has with all efforts could not keep her. I am going to the city this morning to select a burial place and will later the remains to sorrow [that's what it says]. This is truly a world of sorrow and trouble, and we humbly submit to the will of God, trusting that we may meet the loved ones in that bright world where the pangs of death, can never come--where parting is no more.

Please mail this to Corning, as I do not want to write more for some days.

Broke heartedly and affectionately yours, E.M. Hurst.
