----Mrs. Martin Rahn [Catharina Augustine] died very suddenly at her residence near Buchanan on the 4^th. Her husband and two sons went to Bedford to attend the celebration, but during the forenoon the husband seemed to have a presentiment of impending evil and told the boys that he would return and stay with the mother. On reaching home he found his wife complaining of not feeling well. She got dinner, however, and while her husband sat down to eat she said she would lie down on the bed and rest. When Mr. Rahn had finished dinner he went to the bed and found that his wife was dead. The family has lived here about a year and formerly resided at Galesburg, Illinois.

OBITUARY

Died, at the residence of his uncle, Mr. William G. Reed, of Independence township, Alexander R. Reed, of Henry county, Ills., of typhoid fever, on the 27^th ult. The deceased arrived at Hopkins on the morning of February 10^th and was an acquaintance and guest of R. M. Simmons. He was taken ill on the second evening after his arrival, and although his disease yielded to treatment, he did not seem to entirely recover. A few days later he went to Pickering, to visit an uncle, Mr. Joseph Adcock, who resides there. While there he was again taken sick and seemed to be seized with a premonition of death, saying frequently, “I don’t think I shall live long; I wish I had remained at home.” Efforts to arouse him from this depression were unavailing, and he finally determined to attempt to reach home as soon as he should have paid his uncle Mr. W. G. Reed, a brief visit. On the 17^th of March, while at his uncle’s house, he again found it necessary to call medical aid, and the disease which had been lingering about him developed itself, and on the 27^th he breathed his last, surrounded by many sorrowing friends and relatives. He was fully conscious to the last and seemed to have no fear of death. The funeral took place on the 29^th ult., from W. G. Reed’s residence, and the services were conducted by Elder R. M. Simmons who delivered a sermon from the last two verses of the third chapter of Philemon. A large assembly of friends and relatives were present, and the remains were consigned to the Daugherty cemetery in Independence township. The deceased, had he lived, would have been nineteen years old on the 21^st of June. The sorrowing mother and relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in their sore affliction.   R. M. S.

OBITUARY

W. [illiam] G. Reed, the Allison postmaster and merchant, died Sunday evening at ten minutes to 5 o’clock, of heart failure and lung trouble, after a lingering and continued affliction of six months. For the last month he was directly under the care of Dr. Adams, of Hopkins, assisted in council by Dr. Martin of Maryville, and Dr. King, of Bedford. All was done for him that skillful physicians and kind nursing could do, but all to no avail. His sufferings were extreme, he would cry day by day and night after night, “O God, O Jesus O Mercy, cannot I find relief from my untold suffering.” He could not lay down during his sickness but sat on the bed or chair and often made expressions, “Why cannot I go; why must I suffer so? I want to go where sufferings are o’er; I am not afraid to die. O Jesus, O Savior, O God was his continual cry.” Thus passed one of the most extreme cases of suffering ever witnessed by sympathizing and sorrowing friends.

Deceased was a son-in-law of Elder R. [owland] M. [adison] Simmons of Hopkins. He was born in Knox County, Ill., 54 years ago the 6^th inst. He was a son of Jonathan and Polly [Gilstapp] Reed, of a family of four brothers and five sisters, all of whom are gone but two sisters who live in Nodaway county. He had no children and only leaves a wife [Azelia Simmons], with whom he had lived 26 years, to mourn his loss. He has been a resident of Nodaway County since October 1875, and has occupied the Allison store and kept the post office for ten years. He was taken to Orrsburg cemetery and interred on the 21^st inst. and a funeral discourse was delivered by Elder R. M. Simmons of Hopkins. A large audience was present on the occasion. Dust to dust; and the spirit to God who gave it.     R. M. S.
