Nodaway Democrat Thursday January 27, 1887 Death of Henry Hanna Henry Hanna, an old citizen of this county, and a man highly esteemed, died at his home four miles north of Maryville, last Monday, January 24. One day last week, it appears, he and one of his sons were loading straw on a wagon, the son pitching the straw from the stack and Mr. Hanna building the straw up on the wagon. The young man chancing to look upon the wagon, failed to see his father there, and at once instituting search, found Mr. Hanna lying on the ground, his spine being very seriously injured. Mr. Hanna was not able, from the time he was hurt up to his death, to give any clear or rational statement as to how he came to fall. He was buried Tuesday. We glean the following concerning Mr. Hanna’s life from the Nodaway County History: Mr. Hanna was born in County Down, Ireland, January 13, 1818. He was brought to America by his parents in 1822, landing at Quebec. They settled in Glen Carey County, Canada, and there he was principally raised, spending his boyhood days on a farm and receiving the benefits of a common school education. When about 17 years of age he accompanied his parents to Center County, Pennsylvania. He afterwards moved to Lawrence County, Ohio, and in 1854 moved to Nodaway County, Missouri. Mr. Hanna married twice. His first wife died in 1848, leaving three children---one of them Mrs. Leander Pistole. In 1851 he married Miss Mary Neal, who was born in Gallia County, Ohio. By this marriage there were nine children. Mr. Hanna was a member of the M. E. church. He was an upright man and an exemplary citizen. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Cox.

[Pierpoint, Clara] Maryville Democrat-Forum Thursday September 20, 1917 p. 8 Obituary Clara Pierpoint is at rest. She was in her happy teens; the time when youth stands waiting before the half opened door that leads into a fairer and more promising land of dreams and flowers. She had not a thought that was not a gentle one, not one that did not hold all the world in the arms of its kindliness. In the day and Bible school her friends were numerous while her sweet face brought sunshine to those she met. We cannot conceive of the heavenly Father launching on life’s ocean such a youthful character and then leave it unfinished. We have faith father in life perfected, love perfected and character perfected in a better world than this. We have with us the broken casket but God has in his own keeping the invaluable gem—the soul---Death robs us of our loved ones only when we permit the narrow horizon of this life to hem and imprison us. By death itself we are taught of a Beyond; and we are lifted up where we see a new world for the first time. Clara was the only daughter of Dr. J. E. Pierpoint, Skidmore, Mo., her mother having died some years ago. She was born July 11, 1902, and bid farewell to earth September 14, 1917, in her 15th year. She leaves to sorrow her father, one brother, Everett, stepmother and Douglas, her stepbrother. For many months she had been in poor health suffering from leakage of the heart. The kind hands of medical skill, loved ones and friends had done all in human power to prolong life and make her closing hours comfortable. The funeral services were held at the home Sunday, September 16, at 10 a. m., in charge of Elder S. D. Harlan, followed by burial in the Skidmore cemetery.

Captain White was an active worker in the Baptist church and a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity. When the Maryville Baptists concluded to build their new church edifice, Captain White was selected by the congregation to superintend the construction and he gave the work as careful attention as he would have given to his personal business. When the first call for troops came from president Lincoln Captain White was attending Williamsburg College at Williamsburg, Pa. He returned to his West Virginia home and enlisted in response to the call for three months’ service. At the conclusion of this service he returned to Williamsburg and resumed his studies at the college. Then came the second call for soldiers and Captain White enlisted in the 15th Pa. Vol. Cav., was elected orderly sergeant of his troop and was commissioned as first lieutenant. His first engagement was at the battle of Antietam, and for the first year of service the regiment was detailed for special duty under General Buell.
