W. Dowling Found Dead In His Home
Believed Farmer Near Hopkins Causes Own Death Sets Buildings Afire
Funeral Services Will Be Held Tomorrow at Hopkins—In Charge of Masonic Body
William Dowling, about 50 years old, living on a farm three and one half miles southeast of Hopkins, was found dead in his home yesterday about noon. A bullet wound caused by a shotgun evidently was the cause of death and it is thought to be a case of self destruction as Mr. Dowling had been brooding over financial troubles for a considerable time.

The dead man evidently set fire to the chicken house, barn and house and locked himself in. Neighbors discovered the fire. They broke in the house and found Mr. Dowling dead and put out the fire in the buildings before it had made much progress.

Mr. Dowling had lived on his farm, 110 acres, for nearly thirty years. He never has been married and leaves only two relatives, a sister, Mrs. Josephine Sobbing of Hopkins, and a niece, Mrs. Roy Hanna. The remains were taken to the Sayler Hardware Co. at Hopkins.

Dr. W. M. Wallis, coroner, did not go to the scene of the tragedy, as it was thought an inquest was not necessary and the roads were in such bad condition.

The funeral will be held tomorrow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the home of Mrs. Josephine Sobbing in Hopkins. The Masonic lodge at that place will have charge of the services. It was not known this morning what minister would assist with the funeral services.

Obituary – Sanford Clark Leech was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, March 18, 1843, and departed this life at his home in Pickering, November 2, 1923, age 80 years, 7 months and 15 days. He was one of 12 children of Cornelius and Sarah Hambleton Leech, all of whom have preceded him in death but one brother, Alonzo Leech of Pickering.

When he was 12 years old the family moved to Iowa, settling at La Grande in Marshall County. There he spent his youth and there he enlisted in the 2nd Iowa Cavalry and served the last year of the Civil War. He took part in several battles, being wounded at the battle of Nashville. He was mustered out at Selma, Ala., September 19, 1865.

He came to Missouri in 1872, locating on a farm 5 miles east of Pickering. He lived on this farm 45 years, having moved to Pickering six years ago.

January 1, 1884, he was united in marriage with Mary Frances Dickson who passed into the great beyond May 11, 1917. To this union were born seven children: Mrs. Susie Dinsmore, Maysville, Mo., Mrs. Sadie Kelley, Corvalis, Mont., Mrs. Julia Koch, Pickering, Mo., Miss May Leech who died June 20, 1913, Cornelius Leech, Maysville, Mo., Mrs. Amy Bloomfield, Pickering, Mo., and Leonard Leech of La Junta, Colo.

Deceased had been for many years a member of the Masonic fraternity and had a birthright in the church of the Friends or Quakers. Though he died in the faith of his childhood he was broad and liberal in his views of other churches and was a liberal supporter of the gospel and every other good cause in the community. A good citizen, a kind and loving father, a friend of man has gone from us. Like a ripe sheaf he has been gathered in to the garner of the skies.

The funeral was preached by the Rev. Lane Douglas at the Pickering Methodist Church, Tuesday afternoon and interment was made at the Myrtle Tree cemetery beside his wife.
[Note: His middle name is given as Cornelius on his Missouri State death certificate.]

Hopkins Man Dies After Taking Acid
Lawrence Mueller Swallows Carbolic Acid
Lived Only 30 Minutes
Wife and Doctor Try To Save Him From Death—Employed at Wolfers Mill
Lawrence Mueller, about 25 years old, committed suicide at his home in Hopkins by taking carbolic acid about 7:30 o'clock last night. He died about thirty minutes later.

His wife, a daughter of Albert Hall of Hopkins, was at home when the tragedy occurred. It is reported that she was not in the room when Mueller swallowed the acid, but she entered while he still had the bottle in his hand. She knocked the bottle from his hand, it is said, but he told her that he had already taken the acid.

His wife rushed to the home of a neighbor and phoned for Dr. C. W. Kirk, who came immediately to the Mueller home. He was unable to save the suicide, however, and he died about 8 o'clock last night.

It is said that domestic troubles were the cause of the tragedy. Neighbors and friends of young Mueller, however, say there was no basis for the troubles.

Besides his wife, the suicide is survived by two small children and his father and mother who live in St. Joseph.

Mueller came to Hopkins about five years ago and has lived in the town and immediate vicinity ever since that time. He has been employed at the Wolfers mill for the last two years.

No arrangements have been made for the funeral. The body will probably be shipped to St. Joseph and the rites will be held at the home of his parents there.

Sister Mary Maura Stood at Her Post
Taught Her School When Fever Registered 103—Born at Pilot Grove, Mo., in 1865.
Who in Nodaway County, Missouri has not already heard of Sr. Mary Maura, Clyde, Mo. Since 1896 she continuously taught the St. Mary's or the so called South Wild Cat School, making the trip every day, in all kinds of weather, from the Convent where she resided to the school two miles distant and in the evening back again to her home. She did so also Friday, November 9th, indeed little dreaming that it would be for the last time. The whole week she did not feel well. On Friday her fever was 103, but she held out like a good soldier on his post. Yet when that evening she returned to the Convent she was forced to take to bed, though nobody considered her condition alarming until the morning of her death which occurred at 6:30 p. m., November 13. A severe cold which had settled on her lungs made an end to her very useful life in her 58th year. She was a native of Missouri, being born at Pilot Grove, Mo., and had joined the sisterhood at Clyde 29 years ago.

It would be like pouring water into the ocean to say anything of her activities. They are an open book to all that knew her; a book written in golden letters; a book of continuous acts of kindness and goodness. Especially the thousands whom she educated read in that book, day by day for years, and all will testify that she was an example of a religious person and an educator of rare abilities. Conception parish, and above all the district which she taught so long, suffer in her death a loss which is almost irreparable.

U. near Burlington Junction, one of the strongest and most aggressive Unions of the entire state. When the Rural and Burlington Junction Union consolidated, she became a faithful member of the town Union until death closed up her earthly work of almost forty years.
