[ALLEN, EDWARD S. "TED"] "Ted" as he was familiarly called, was a bright, manly little fellow and a general favorite with all who knew him.

[ARNOLD, LEWIS WHITFIELD] Mr. Arnold arose Thursday morning in his usual health which was good for a man over 80 years of age. He went to the breakfast table and was preparing to eat when he fell unconscious from his chair. A physician was summoned, and it was apparent from the first that he could live only a few hours. He did not regain consciousness and received a second stroke within an hour after the first came on. The funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at his late home, on North Main street, where he had lived for nearly forty-one years. They will be conducted by Dr. C. P. Luce of the First Presbyterian church. Mr. Arnold became a member of the Adventist church in his young manhood and as there was no church of that faith here, he attended all of the churches of our city with equal regularity but did not affiliate as a member with any of them. Mr. Arnold was born May 19, 1825 at Dixmont Corner, Me., and was one of a family of eight children, all of whom lived to be over 80 years of age. Two brothers and two sisters survive—John Arnold of Elmore, Minn.; Wesley Arnold of Simpson Corners, Me.; Phoebe Getchel of Failand, N. D. and Rhody Howe of Bellingham, Minn. He was married May 25, 1847 to Mary Fletcher. Eight children, two girls and six boys, were born unto them, four of whom are living, four having died in infancy. Those surviving are James L. Arnold of Excelsior Springs, Mo.; Charles P. Arnold of Kansas City; J. L. Arnold of Pierre, S. D.; and Mrs. Martin A. Lewis of Maryville. Mr Arnold engaged in the lumber business in his native state of Maine, and later in Canada. He came to Maryville forty-one years ago this coming March and had lived in the house in which he died all that time. Mrs. Arnold died several years ago.
[AXTELL, SOPHIA G. KAY] Mrs. Axtell had felt unusually well all day, ate her dinner and supper with keen relish. She expressed a wish to retire early and as she did so spoke of the unusually pleasant day she had enjoyed. The hour of the funeral services has not yet been set and will not be arranged before the arrival of her sons from La Cygne, Kan. Sophia Kay was born in Virginia the 15th of February 1827. When a young girl she moved with her parents to Cincinnati, Ohio, where she grew to womanhood and then to Waterloo, Ill., where she was married to her husband, Thomas Axtell. In 1854 they moved to Janesville, Iowa, living on a farm near there. Ten children were born to them, only three of whom are now living, two sons and a daughter, F. M. Axtell and Dr. W. Axtell of La Cygne, Kan., and Mrs. W. J. Staples of Maryville. The father died some years ago. Mrs. Axtell continued living on the home farm after her husband's death until a severe stroke of paralysis warned her that she should not try to live alone. She then went to Siloam Springs, Ark., to live with her late daughter, Mrs. W. H. Davey, whose death occurred three years ago. Two years ago, she came to lie with Mrs. Staples, which has been her home since. Mrs. Axtell had been a member of the Presbyterian church since young womanhood and was a true Christian wife and mother.

[BILLINGS, LUCY HAUSE] Mrs. Hause was visiting her daughter at the time the fatal accident occurred. Mrs. Billings was engaged in cleaning some clothing in gasoline in the kitchen near the kitchen stove, where a good fire was burning, when the gasoline ignited, enveloping her in flames, from which she soon died. The body was brought to Cawood, in Andrew county, Monday, and taken to the home of the deceased woman's brother, William, Hause, who lives one mile southeast of Cawood, where funeral services were held. Burial took place in the Neely cemetery, east of Bolckow. Mrs. Billings, formerly Lucy Hause, grew to womanhood and was married in the close neighborhood of Barnard. Her grief-stricken husband and children and her mother, Mrs. Hause, accompanied the body to its last resting place and are now at the home of relatives near Cawood and Barnard. The children are Byrd Billings, a young man of 20 years, and two daughters, Berneta, aged 18 and Alta, 15 years old. Besides the mother, Mrs. Mary Hause, living three miles south of Barnard and the brother, William Hause, living one mile southeast of Cawood, Mrs. Billings also leaves a sister, Mrs. James C. Lett, living a short distance east of Barnard. The Lett family, it will be remembered, is the nearest neighbor of the late Oda Hubbell, who, with his family was foully cremated in their home Sunday night, November 20.
[BINGAMAN, HALLIE ELIZABETH] A telegram announcing the little girl's death was received in Maryville about 10 o'clock Friday morning by Mrs. Bingaman's parents, Judge and Mrs. Ira K. Alderman. Hallie Elizabeth was taken sick two weeks ago and her condition became so serious that she was thought to be in a dying condition several times. Last Friday her condition began to improve and Judge Alderman and his wife received daily advice as to their little granddaughter's condition. The last letter they received was written Tuesday and although the child was still very sick she was thought to be recovering and the news of her death this morning was almost more than they could bear, as it is well known that the beautiful, vivacious little girl was the idol of both households. Mr. Bingaman, a former Maryville lawyer, located in Cordell with his family within the past year. Their many friends in this city deeply sympathize with them in the loss of their only child, who was a favorite in many homes of our city.
[BINGAMAN, HALLIE ELIZABETH] Judge and Mrs. Alderman were unable to make the trip to Oklahoma and are prostrated by the death of their only grandchild.
[BLACKETER, LENA HANSEN]
[CLARK, EDDIE MAY] It seems Mrs. Clark had left the baby in care of her sisters, Misses Bertha and Edna Umbanhower, who are girls nearly grown, while she took some berries to market. The girls were washing, while the baby crawled about the floor, it being unable to walk. All at once the girls missed the little one, it having crawled into an adjoining room where they found it head first in a candy bucket containing four or five inches of slop. It is supposed the babe climbed up to the side of the bucket and was reaching down after some bread in the pail, when it tumbled in. The girls grabbed the little one and laid it on the bed, their screams attracting the neighbors who rushed in and telephoned for the doctors. Uncle Steve Pistole was the first neighbor there and says the baby was dead when he reached it. Drs. Sargent and Large arrived soon afterwards, their opinion being the baby had been dead an hour when they got there. Mrs. Clark was just returning home when the baby was found in the bucket, being met down the road by two of her children who told her the baby had fainted, and when she reached the house to learn the worst, she was almost frantic. It is terrible to lose a sweet innocent babe from natural causes, but it is a great deal harder to give them up when taken as this one was, and the mother has the profound sympathy of everybody in this her hour of almost unbearable sorrow. It seems that Mrs. Clark is tasting more than her share of the bitter in life, her husband, Edward Clark, having accidentally killed himself about a year ago. The funeral was conducted Tuesday by Elder Furgeson at the Christian church and the little form laid to rest in the Hopkins cemetery to await the call of Him who has said, "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for such is the kingdom of Heaven.:

[CLAYTON, DALE] The little one was born February 8, 1909. He was sick only five days, but bowel trouble, accompanied by brain fever, finally did its deadly work. This is a hard blow to their home, death's first visit, but Asa 11:6 echoes; The funeral services were conducted by Elder S. D. Harlan of Skidmore, October 6, at 11 a. m. at Pleasant Grove church.

[DENMARK, HIRAM PRATT "HI"] Hiram Pratt Denmark was born in Erie county, New York, May 2, 1855. He went to the common schools until he was 12 years old, when he began working for his father, who was a butcher. At the age of 17 he went to Ottumwa, Ia., and engaged in the same business. On the 18th day of August 1875, at the age of 20, he married Miss Mary Adcock of Ottumwa, who survives him with the two children born to them, Mrs. W. Jack Denning of Columbia, Mo., and Mrs. Claude DeJersey of Crowley, La. Mr. Denmark and his family came to Maryville to live in 1876. He engaged in the meat business and made money. After a residence here of eight years he moved to Marion, Kan. and lived eight years, where he also prospered financially. He then returned to Maryville, where the family has since lived. Mr. Denmark was a man of powerful physique and should at this time have been in the very beginning of strong useful, ripened manhood, but his "hail-fellow-well-met" qualities got the upper hand when he was with companions who indulged in the flowing bowl. He was generous to a fault, spent his money lavishly among them, and drove the finest horses. Fourteen years ago, his health failed completely after an attack of inflammatory rheumatism and other afflictions came until he was deaf, blind and dumb and he could move about only by crawling on his hands and knees. He was often seized with a delusion that many foes were seeking to kill him, which rendered him a dangerous though pitiable object. He was taken to the state hospital at St. Joseph last June but was brought back home at his wife's request about a month ago. He became very dangerous again, however, and was returned to the hospital in St. Joseph about two weeks ago. He grew gradually weaker until his death Tuesday night. When Mr. Denmark was 17 years old he became a member of a Baptist church at Ottumwa, Ia., but remained in its fellowship only a few years, and had not affiliated with any other church. During his latest affliction, however, he had made known to friends that he believed in God. Besides the wife and daughters who survive he leaves a brother, Douglas Denmark of Erie county, New York.
[DUNLEAVY, JAMES, MRS.] Mrs. Dunleavy was born in Tielan, parish of Glen Columbkille, county of Donegal, Ireland, eighty-four years ago. When 24 years of age she came to America to join an older brother, who had settled in Steuben county, New York, near Rexville. A year later, she was married to James Dunleavy, a native of her own county in Ireland, at Geneva, N. Y. They settled on Mr. Dunleavy's farm, near Rexville, N. Y., immediately after their marriage, where they lived for eighteen years. Eight children were born to them at the New York homestead—Frank, James T., Cornelius, Anthony, Thomas, Mary, Michael and James P. Two children, James T. and Cornelius, died in 1865, before the family left New York for the west. In 1871 Mr. Dunleavy came with his family to Nodaway county and settled on a farm east of Maryville, in Jackson township. The father's death occurred July 19, 1900, and three of his children soon followed, Michael on March 25, 1902; Thomas, June 10, 1904, and Mary, February 17, 1909. The only surviving members of the family are James Dunleavy of Hornel, N. Y. and Anthony Dunleavy of Leadville, Col., both of whom were present at their mother's funeral. Mrs. Dunleavy is survived by two brothers, James and Cornellus Johnson, and two sisters, Mrs. Bridget Dimpsey and Mrs. Catherine Dimpsey, all of Steuben county, New York, and members of a family of nine children.

[FURLONG, JOHN] Mr. Furlong's daughters, Misses Anna and Edna, aged about 16 and 12 years respectively, remember to have heard a call early in the morning which they now think was their father, but the call was not sufficient to arouse them from sleep.

In 1919 Maryville changed to the commission form of city government. Mr. Garrett was elected mayor and appointed city manager.

[GARRETT, WILLIAM T., 1840-1910] Mr. Garrett had been a sufferer from valvular heart trouble for the past two years and he had been lying in a critical condition for several weeks past, owing to a stroke of paralysis he suffered several weeks ago. The funeral services will be held at the family home Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. W. J. Parvin of the M. E. church, South, who will be assisted by Rev. J. S. Ford of the First M. E. church. Burial will take place in Oak Hill cemetery. The body will lie in state at the home Saturday from 9 o'clock a. m. to 1 o'clock p. m. William T. Garrett was born in Jackson county, Ind., April 18, 1840. His father, David Garrett, was a farmer and a native of Kentucky, while his mother, who was Miss Elizabeth Sparks, was a native of Indiana. When he was fourteen years of age, Mr. Garrett's parents died and from that time he was thrown on his own resources. He had until that time attended the common school of the district. What he gained afterward was by his own efforts, through reading and contact with men of learning, which his natural business ability, ambition and attendant success led him to do. He was employed on a farm until he was 19 years old, when he was apprenticed to learn the tinner's trade, serving two years. On the 20th day of August 1861, he enlisted in Company F, Eighth Indiana cavalry, for service in the civil war and passed through extremely hard experiences. He was in twenty-nine battles and was with Sherman on his memorable march to the sea. Among the battles he experienced was Green Run, Shiloh, siege of Corinth, Prairieville and Stone river. He was wounded at the battle of Stone river. He was discharged the 30th of October 1864, but afterward volunteered under General Kilpatrick on his raid. At the close of the war Mr. Garrett, without a cent of money, began farming and stock raising in Jackson county, Indiana. In 1868 he concluded to locate in Nodaway county, Missouri, reaching Maryville on March 4 of that year. He secured land, built a home for his family and was soon recognized as one of the leading progressive farmers and stock raisers in this part of Missouri. He gradually added to his land purchases. He was the first man to introduce the Poland-China hog west of the Mississippi and soon interested many in raising that stock. He was the leading spirit in organizing the Standard Poland-China Record association, and for years has been a member of its board of directors, had served as president of the association and was the president of the executive board at the time of his death. He had a wide acquaintance among the leading stock men of the country and was a director in the interstate livestock and horse show at St. Joseph. Mr. Garrett was mayor of Maryville from 1902 to 1904 and gave a most vigorous administration in cleaning up matters affecting the moral life of the city, as far as the authority of his office would permit. Mr. Garrett was twice married, first to Miss Sarah Stafford of Jackson county, Indiana, in 1864. Her death occurred in 1873, in Nodaway county. Two children were born to them, Charles Garrett, living northwest of Maryville and Oliver Garrett of American Falls, Idaho. His second marriage was to Mrs. Josephine Forbes of Jackson county, Indiana, who survives him with their children, who are Mrs. Harry Foster of Chariton, Ia.; Misses Lou and Jennie Garrett at home; Frank L. Garrett of Maryville and Milton K. [ing] Garrett, traveling salesman for the Wyeth Hardware Manufacturing company of St. Joseph. Mr. Garrett was man of unusual characteristics. Although he had been subject to severe sick spells for years he never allowed physical disability to seriously interfere with his plans, whether in matters of business, duty to family or friends, no matter how trivial these matters might appear to those whom he delegated to attend to them for him. He was the truest of friends and there are many tears shed today in grateful remembrance of many kindnesses shown by him. His family was his idol and it is a pleasure to say that he in turn was held in loving reverence by each member, who gave to him the full share of love, care and obedience to which a husband and father is entitled. He was not a member of any church, but was a believer in God and in the last few years had made known to his friends his faith in the Savior of the world.
[GARRETT, WILLIAM T., 1840-1910] The services were in keeping with the wish of the one gone and were quiet and simple in every detail. Rev. W. J. Parvin of the M. E. church, South, assisted by Dr. J. S. Ford of the First M. E. church, conducted the services. The 23rd Psalm and the 91st Psalm were read, as they were favorite parts of the Scripture of Mr. Garrett, also his favorite songs, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," were sung by Miss Ruby Peery of Albany, Mrs. Ralph Eversole, Mrs. C. D. Leffler, Miss Nellie Wray, Mr. Flint, Edwin Goodspeed and H. J. Becker, with Mrs. Harry Irwin at the piano. The entire service was full of comfort and assurance to all. Burial took place in Oak Hill cemetery. The pallbearers were all the most intimate friends of Mr. Garrett, and were W. R. Smiley, J. S. Shinabargar, H. F. Leet, L. C. Cook, Judge W. C. Ellison and C. D. Bellows.
[GATES, JUANITA]
[GREGG, RUBY HILDRED] The funeral services will be held at the First M. E. Church in Maryville Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. S. Ford. Burial will take place in Miriam cemetery.
[GRAHAM, GEORGE]
[GRATE, LEVI] The deceased was 60 years of age and will be remembered by many as having lived in our midst some years ago. He was also a janitor of the court house in Maryville at one time. He was a genial, big hearted man, faithful to whatever duties he had to perform, and his cheery laugh and happy ways made his presence a pleasure. Time alone can heal the wounded hearts of the bereaved family and the sympathy of this community goes out to them.

[LINEBAUGH, JACOB] [LINEBAUGH, JACOB]
[LINTHICUM, ALDA] The little girl was the youngest of the four children who have been ill of typhoid fever for several weeks. The father and mother have been busy day and night caring for them and although the neighbors have helped all they could, the care of the sick ones, as is always the case, has devolved entirely on them. If it had not been for the attention they received from the women of the Charity Board, their suffering and need would have been unbearable. As it is, they are in great need of bedding, because of the siege of sickness, and any such assistance will be gratefully received. Mr. Linthicum will go to work as soon as the condition of his children will admit, but they must be cared for properly in the meantime if they are to live. Men around town got together Saturday morning and purchased a lot at the cemetery and one made a donation of $5 for the funeral expenses. The other day the Charity Board received $5 from one business man to buy something to eat for the sick family but in these days of high prices we all know $5 won't stretch very far down the list of good, wholesome things to eat.
[MCMULIN, HENRY] The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Christian church at Ravenwood, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Wood. Mr. McMulin was born in Belmont county, Ohio, March 17, 1833. At the age of 17 he moved to Washington county, Ohio, where he received nearly all the schooling he gained. He taught school and followed farming for a number of years. He married Miss Rebecca Sample, a native of Ohio, September 22, 1855. Three children were born to them, only one surviving—J. L. McMullin, who, with his family, lives south of Ravenwood. In 1865 Mr. McMulin and his wife and son moved to Owen county, Indiana, where they lived about two years, when they came to Missouri and settled in Nodaway county. He soon opened a store at Sweet Home, continuing some time and taking into his partnership S. P. Joy. After a year or two he bought out his partner's share of the business and continued alone until 1875, when Leroy Harry became his partner. In 1880 Mr. McMulin turned his share of the business over to his son, Lincoln McMulin, who conducted the business several years. At the time he was in business in Sweet Home, Mr. McMulin owned 950 acres of land besides the store building and his residence. He added to his land possessions until it is now estimated that he owned over 2,000 acres of land at the time of his death. Mr. McMulin had lived close to Ravenwood for many years. His wife died three years ago. Since that time his niece, Miss Mary McMulin, kept house for him and cared for him. He had been in poor health for three years and his death was not unexpected. Mr. McMulin took an active interest in all his business affairs. He was a good man and had been a member of the Christian church for many years. He is survived by his son, five grandchildren and one great grandchild, who are Mrs. Cyrus Thompson of near Ravenwood, Mrs. Wiley Slagle, of Auburn, Neb.; Henry and Ezra McMulin and Miss Harriet at their father's home. The great grandchild is the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Thompson.
[MASON, JENNIE PHIPPS] Brief funeral services were held at the home at 10 o'clock Monday morning, conducted by Rev. Dr. J. S. Ford, pastor of the First M. E. church, after which the body was taken to Grant City for burial at the old family home, the funeral services being held in the M. E. church there Tuesday. A quartet composed of Miss Mae Corwin, Miss Anice Ingerson, S. M. Simpson and G. Matter, with Miss Lottie Perrin as pianist, sang several appropriate songs. And all the details of the service were very simple and quietly carried out in accord with the wishes of the departed wife and mother. Mrs. Mason's maiden name was Jennie Phipps. She was born in Unionville, Mo., September 11, 1863. When she was quite young the family moved to Barnard, Nodaway county, where the father, J. [ohn] R. [andleman] Phipps, died fourteen years ago. On the 23d of February 1887 she was married to A. [dolphus] O.[sman] Mason of Barnard, who, with their three daughters, Misses Estella, Mabel and Gertrude Mason, survive. Mr. and Mrs. Mason continued to live in Barnard until 1892, when they moved to Grant City and lived there until four years ago when they came to Maryville. Mrs. Mason became a member of the M. E. church when she was 12 years old and always lived a true Christian life. She was a devoted wife and mother and those who so truly mourn her loss may well seek comfort and strength in their sorrow from the one who had always been her refuge in every trial; the one whom she served in every way she could in all departments of church life, especially in the Sunday school, where she had been a teacher for eight years. Her failing health prevented her taking her usual active part in church life since her health began failing, four or five years ago, but her faith and trust in the wisdom and love of an all wise and loving Father grew brighter and brighter. Mrs. Mason is survived by her mother, six brothers and one sister, besides her husband and daughters. They are Charles Phipps, Leo M. Phipps and Paris P. Phipps of Grant City; George Phipps of St. Joseph; I. J. Phipps of Maryville and Miss Rose Phipps of Grant City. The family was accompanied to Grant City by Mr. and Mrs. I. J. Phipps and children, Treva and Paris, of Maryville; Fred Montgomery, a cousin, of Bolckow, and Paris Phipps of Grant City.

[SPENCER, FREDDIE] Just how the accident happened is not known. It seems the grandfather of the baby had been burning brush on the farm during the forenoon and had gone to dinner, when the child was missed, and a search revealed the dead body half a mile distant from where the brush was burning. The child may have been playing in the fire and carried away with it a burning stick which afterwards ignited its clothing, or it may have carried matches from the house and set fire to itself. The child had not been seen by the grandfather while he was at work, and just how its clothing came to catch fire will never be known. When found, the remains were burned to a crisp, all the clothing being consumed, save the shoes and the crown of the cap the little fellow wore. The funeral was conducted at the house yesterday forenoon by Rev. John, after which burial took place in the Hopkins cemetery. It is hard for parents to give up their little ones when taken away by natural causes, but it is ten thousand times harder to part with them under such circumstances as this, and the parents have the fullest sympathy of the entire community. Words of condolence from human lips are inadequate—the saddened hearts must look to Him for comfort who has given and taken away, and who says, "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven."
