Summons Came Unexpected to Andrew Albright—a Prominent Farmer
The news of the death of "Andy" Albright which reached Hopkins last Friday afternoon, came as a great surprise.
While Mr. Albright had not been feeling well of late and had for years been a sufferer with asthma, nothing serious was feared and up till noon the day of his death he was over the farm doing various work that was needed.
When he went to the house a short time before noon, he complained of a terrible pain and the family at once telephoned for Dr. Sargent, who went with all possible haste, but Mr. Albright died soon after the doctor arrived and before any medicine could be administered to him, death being due to neuralgia of the heart.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church on Monday, conducted by Rev. Eri Edmonds and burial took place in the Hopkins cemetery.
Frank Mahan, of this city, is a brother in law of the deceased. Other relatives in attendance at the funeral were: Mr. and Mts. A. S. DeHaven, St. Joseph; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. DeHaven, Maryville and Mrs. Bush, of Blockton.
Obituary – Andrew J. Albright was born in Stephenson county, Ill., Dec 1st, 1851, and moved with his parents to Wisconsin when he was a small boy, where he lived until the year 1887, when he came to Nodaway county, Mo., where he has resided ever since.
He was the father of four children, two sons and two daughters, all but one daughter surviving him. He also leaves an affectionate wife, an aged father and mother, several brothers and sisters.
Mr. Albright was not a member of any church but was an exemplary man, a good citizen and neighbor and was respected by all who came in social or business contact with him.
He leaves his family well provided for and will long be remembered as a good man by his neighbors and many friends.
The family desire to express their thanks to the kind neighbors and friends for the sympathy and services extended at a time when it was most needed.

Obituary – Robert M [urray] Calvin was born in Champaign Co, Ohio, Nov 19, 1821 and died of paralysis in Table Rock, Neb, Jan 29, 1902, aged 70 years, 2 months and 10 days. At 19 years of age he was married to a Miss Harrington, who only lived one year after their marriage; at the age of 22 he was married to Miss Mary McCune. To them were born ten children, seven of whom died in infancy. The three remaining are Joseph Calvin, of David City, Neb, Mrs Sarah Umbanhowar [Umbanhower] of Hopkins, Mo, and Miss Mary Eva Calvin, of Table Rock, Neb. His only brother, James Calvin of Tate, Neb, and his only sister, Mrs Leuvina Groom, of Table Rock, Nebraska, were present at the funeral.

Here for some time his shattered physical force seemed to rally and his health seemed much improved, but a sudden return of paralysis, from which he had suffered before leaving Hopkins, proved fatal.

His body was brought back to Hopkins for burial that it might be laid beside that of his wife who preceeded him one year ago last April. Brother Calvin was a devoted Christian. He was converted about the year 1866 and joined the Methodist church, of which he remained a devoted member until translated to the church triumphant.

Death of a Young Lady
Miss Myrta Catlin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas S Catlin, living seven miles southeast of Hopkins, died last Sunday morning at 4 o'clock of congestion of the brain. She had been seriously ill for about two weeks but hopes of her recovery were entertained, although it was known that she was dangerously sick. She has always been the very picture of health and the universal expression is that it don't seem possible that one so healthy looking could be stricken so soon.
Myrta was very popular with the young people and indeed with everyone, because of her lovable character and pleasant disposition. Quite a number of her friends and schoolmates from Hopkins attended the funeral, as well as many from Sheridan and nearly everyone in the neighborhood between those two places.
She was 18 years, 10 months and 28 days old at the time of her death and was born and raised in the neighborhood where she died. She has been a member of the Methodist church for about eight years and was a member of the Sunday School at Gaynor where she will be greatly missed as well as in the home life and in society.
The funeral was held at Gaynor Monday, Feb 9, 1903, conducted by Rev Yetter of Pickering, who was her former pastor, assisted by Rev Bieber of Parnell, her present pastor. The large gathering and genuine expressions of sorrow made the service a very impressive one. Burial took place in Long Branch cemetery near Gaynor.
Thus endeth a young life in the very bloom of womanhood. The loss here is irreparable but heaven is richer.    V. W. R.

Steve Henderson Dead
Follows His Wife to the Grave Within a Period of Three Weeks
Stephen Henderson of this city, who went to Chapin, Ill, last week to visit a brother, died suddenly at that place last Monday. He was apparently in the best of health when he left Hopkins just a week before he died and did not complain any until the Friday before his death when his throat began to bother him. A doctor was summoned but the medicine gave no relief, so another physician performed an unsuccessful operation, after which a noted Jacksonville specialist was hastily called, but was powerless to save him, death being the only relief. He had been subject ot throat trouble for many years.
Mr. Henderson had just completed a lovely country home near Hopkins and was ready to take life easy and enjoy the blessings and comforts of a happy home, when his wife died about three weeks ago. He took her death very hard and many believe it hastened his own death.
Mr. Henderson was a splendid citizen in the fullest sense of the term—enterprising, liberal and just—and in his death this community has lost a man who will be greatly missed.
Mr. Henderson was a first-degree Mason and an Odd Fellow, and the last name order will have charge of the burial. He leaves an estate valued at $15,000.
The remains arrived here this morning and interment will take place in the Hopkins cemetery.
Obituary – Stephen Henderson was born Oct. 6, 1845, in Morgan county, Ill., and died April 22, 1901, at Chapin, Ill. He married Miss May L Stevens, of Van Buren county, Iowa, Feb 18, 1868, and lived in Illinois but a short time and then moved to Nodaway county, Mo. He united with the Christian church in 1874. He leaves one child, Mrs Laura White, three brothers, five sisters and three grandchildren, his wife having preceded him to that better land about three weeks before his death.

A Story of Adventures and Sacrifices of Her Early life—A Last Request
Died, at the advanced age of more than 87 years at the home of her youngest son, Isaac Herbert, 3 ½ southwest of Bedford, Iowa, Feb 5, 1903, Martha Herbert, who had been almost entirely helpless for nearly five years, her affliction being occasioned by a fall. She bore her sufferings with patience and Christian fortitude always expressing her faith and trust in her Savior.
Martha Hoffman [Huffman] was born in Butler county, Ohio, Oct 20, 1816. Very early in life she gave her heart to God and united with the M E church and lived a devoted and faithful Christian, always ready to make sacrifices for the good or comfort of others. When she was about 17 years old, her parents moved to Fulton Co., Ill. and she was married to Rev Jesse R Herbert of the M E Church, Jan 31, 1834.
In the year 1837 or 1838 her husband was sent as a missionary to what is now Jefferson Co., Iowa. Then it was a wilderness in a territory where Indians and wild beasts were a terror to the few scattering inhabitants. She, with her baby, accompanied him and when he went on his circuit, she remained in the little log cabin in the wilderness miles from any other human inhabitants, the only road to a neighbor's house being marked by blazed trees and her only protection was a small boy who came and stayed with her at night.
Often when overcome by loneliness and terror of the Indians or wild beasts, she took her young babe in her arms and walked through the woods to her nearest neighbors. When asked in later years why she did not go with her husband on his rounds of preaching, she always answered that she considered it her duty to stay and take care of the home and keep everything in readiness for his return and that she never for a moment considered it a hardship. She even took in work to help support the family and rejoiced in the thought she was helping him in his mission of converting souls to God. Rev Herbert only received one hundred dollars for his first years work and she often said she was so thankful that the ministers nowadays could have very good houses to live in and a salary to enable them to live in comfort and always gave of her scanty means to help the church.
Later her husband was recalled to the circuit of Knox, Warren and Fulton counties, Ill. and in 1851 moved to Lin Co., Iowa and settled in Cedar Rapids. Again in 1853 they moved to New London, Henry Co., Iowa. Then in the fall of 1856 moved to Taylor county, Iowa, where her husband died Jan 4, 1873.
She was the mother of nine children, five of whom are still living: Mrs. Mary Gladman and N H and W C Herbert of Hopkins, Mo., Mrs. Lois Adams of Rooks Co., Kansas and Isaac Herbert of Taylor Co., Iowa, at whose home she died. She also leaves one sister, Margaret Brown of Fairbury, Neb and three brothers, Thomas Hoffman [Huffman] of Truro, Iowa and W F Hoffman [Huffman] of Fulton county, Ill and Isaac Hoffman of Iroquois Co., Ill. besides many other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. She was beloved by all who knew her, and her place can never be filled. Truly a life of loving service is ended.
Burial took place in the Hopkins cemetery last Thursday and by her request, Rev I Moorhead, of Baldwin, Kansas, will preach the funeral discourse at some future date.

[HICKS, MARTHA "MATTIE" MILLS]

Death of Mrs. Hicks
We bow our head in sorrow as we record the death of Mrs. Mattie Mills Hicks. In the shadowy stillness of Sunday night, the gates of heaven opened wide and the gentle spirit of Mrs. Hicks left its earthly home and bid good morning to loved ones who waited on the other side to give her a glad welcome. Mrs. Hicks belonged to one of the prominent honored families of Barnesville, grew to womanhood here and many years of her life were spent among us. She was a daughter of the late Robert Mills, one of the leading and influential men of our town in the long ago. In October 1877 the deceased, while living in the west, was married to Mr. Harrison Hicks. After the death of her husband, which occurred in September 1898, she returned to Barnesville in May 1900. Mrs. Hicks had been in delicate health for many years and when attacked by pneumonia, which caused her death, was too feeble to battle with the disease and very soon her beautiful earth life closed. To live in hearts we leave behind us is not to die, and throughout the years the lovely character of Mrs. Mattie Hicks will never be forgotten. Beautiful in person, in charms of mind and heart which mark the greatness of true womanhood, all who knew her were her friends and loved her as a true woman. Possessing a lovely home and surrounded by all that wealth could afford, she was the friend of everyone. Her home was the abode of peace and love in which she was the central figure and to whom her brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews turned as to a magnet and gave her in return unremitting love and devotion. In our days of illness, the sunshine of Mrs. Hicks' thoughtfulness made brighter the way and brought us nearer to her and we esteemed her as among the noblest of women. A true Christian, unselfish, loving and broad minded she wielded an influence for good and to the end made the world better for having lived. Eternity would be a strange place to us if we did not know there such friends as Mrs. Mattie Mills Hicks and the other dear ones with whom we have been associated here. Idolized by her relatives her death is a terrible blow to the family and the place she has left vacant can never be filled.
Funeral services were held from the late residence of the deceased by Rev E A Culiey of the Presbyterian church. The floral offerings—love's emblems—were numerous and beautiful. Interment in the Southern cemetery. -- Barnesville (Ohio) Enterprise

[JOHNSON, MARY JANE BIRD]
Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri), Thursday, February 25, 1903
Obituary – Died at her home seven miles west of Hopkins, January 22, 1903, Mrs Mary Jane Johnson, age 57 years and 8 months.
Mary Jane Bird was born in Burke county, North Carolina, May 23, 1845. Removed to Franklin county, Tenn., in November 1852. Her mother died there in Feb. 1854, leaving four children. Her grandmother, Mrs Anna Parton, took three of them. Here Mrs Johnson grew to womanhood attending the Mary Sharp College at Winchester seven years.
In 1861 she came with her grandparents to Nodaway county. April 16, 1865, she was married to John R Johnson and removed to the farm where she died.
Mrs Johnson taught school until her marriage and one term afterward at the home school of Plum Grove. She had an intelligent, sympathetic personality, fitted to fill places of usefulness in the world's work. Ill health and environment prevented this. She was denied the privilege of church and lecture, or active work in her beloved W C T U. She supplied the first lack with the best books, papers and magazines, and did faithfully the little things that came to her. In her quiet way she relieved distress, ministered to the sick and sorrowful, advised and encouraged the weak and erring and imitated in high degree her Master who "went about doing good."
She was converted at the age of fifteen and joined the Methodist church of which she was always a faithful member. She was a devoted Bible student from childhood.
She was a devoted unselfish mother, never allowing her ill health to darken the home and, remembering her early orphanage, she took to her heart many lone ones thus left. "How we will miss her!" was the general lament when tidings of her death went out. The funeral services were held at the house, Rev C C Cox, of Shambaugh, and Mrs Dr King and Mrs Cobb, of Hopkins W C T U, officiating. The sisters brought a beautiful floral tribute for the casket and spoke tenderly of her love and work in the W C T U.
Mrs Johnson leaves a loving husband and five children to mourn her departure, Charley Johnson of Wyoming, Mrs Eva Watson of Seattle, Washington, Mrs Sadie Grubb of Los Angeles, Cal., and Huston and Worth Johnson of Plum Grove. The sons were all present at the funeral. She leaves two sisters, Mrs Eva Bartlett of South Dakota and Mrs S N Wolcott of Burlington Junction; one brother, Charley Bird of Oklahoma and an aged grandmother, Mrs Anna Parton, to wait on this side of the river.    Mrs S N Wolcott

J. C. McMaster Dead

At midnight Sunday, surrounded by his fifteen children and faithful wife, John C. [rawford] McMaster died at his home four miles north of this city.
He was paralyzed three or four years ago and for the past year or so had been perfectly helpless, death coming as a relief.
The funeral services were conducted yesterday at the Union Baptist church north of this city, by Rev. Griffith of Bedford, interment taking place in the Hopkins cemetery.
The deceased was one of the well-known and wealthy citizens of this vicinity and an appropriate obituary will be published next week.

[MCMASTER, JOHN CRAWFORD]
Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri), Thursday, March 13, 1902
Obituary – J [ohn] C [rawford] McMaster was born in Sligo county, Ireland, July 12, 1828, and died at his residence near Hopkins, Mo., March 3, 1902.
He inherited a vigorous mind and body, his mother being an English lady and his father Scotch Irish. He emigrated to America when 24 years of age and settled at La Sell, Ill., and in 1857 came to Taylor County Iowa and settled near his present home. He was a very hard-working man and overcame the obstacles of those early days.
He found a worthy helpmate in Miss Sarah A [nn] Thompson, being married Nov. 24, 1859. There were given to this union ten sons and six daughters, all except one survive the father.
It is remarkable that all the family were present at the time of the death and live in the vicinity, so that within an hour's notice they can gather at the parental fireside. There are so few large families that are not scattered over the land.
The writer has never known so large a family of boys or men who do not drink or use tobacco and do not use profane language. The daughters are as pure and noble as the boys.
Mr McMasters was not only an upright, hardworking, kind father and citizen, but he was a Christian man. The interests of God's Kingdom had a deep place in his heart.
He was converted in Feb 1864 and became one of the worthy members of the Union Baptist Church. It was through his efforts mainly that the church building near his home was erected and the building is a monument to his devotion. God grant that others of his spirit will carry on his work.
The following are the names of the children: William D. [aniel], Abram, John N. [oble], Charles A. [llen], James A.[rchibald], Jerome, George, Amos C. [rawford], Arthur E. [llsworth], Harmon H. [oward]. The daughters are: Mary A. [nn], Martha E., Dora A. [lice], Sarah E.[lizabeth], Alta M. [ay]. There are twenty grandchildren.
The deceased suffered a stroke of paralysis nearly four years ago and too much cannot be said to the devotion and self-sacrificing tender care which he received from his companion and children during his long illness.
The funeral service was held in the Union Baptist church on Wednesday, March 5th, at one o'clock. The church could not hold all the people who came from respect to the family and the desire to honor the memory of one of the oldest settlers as well as an upright citizen. Pastor of the Baptist church at Bedford conducted the service assisted by Rev A Griffith of Gravity.
The interment took place in the Hopkins cemetery. The floral decorations were very fine. The coffin was a beautiful one.

[MESSECAR, ADALINE MARSH]
Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri), Thursday, December 5, 1901
Obituary – Mrs. Adaline Messecar was born in Laporte Co., Ind., May 1, 1844 and died of cancer, Nov. 30, 1901, at her home near Hopkins, Mo. In the year 1852, her parents moved to Melugin Grove, Lee Co., Ill. She lived with her parents until the year 1871, when she was united in marriage to James Lyman Messecar. After living in Illinois eleven years, they moved to Hopkins, Mo., where they have since resided. The funeral services were held from the Baptist church and conducted by Rev Pace, who preached a beautiful and touching sermon from John 11, 28; "The Master is come and calleth for thee," and Mark 14, 8: "She hath done what she could." The minister dwelt on the universal call of Christ to all mankind and the effect of obedience to that call, of his willingness to receive and bless all who obey that call, of the satisfaction at the close of life having done what we could in the cause of Christ. So ends a grand and noble life. "She has done what she could." Her life seemed to be devoted to the happiness of family and friends. A husband, two daughters, two sons and a host of friends remain to mourn her loss.
The following touching lines were found in her Bible after the funeral:
And nightly my tired heart has turned
To these six of mine, and nightly said,
All my fear is for those who live,
And none of my fear for the sheltered dead.
The following relatives were present from abroad: Mr and Mrs D C Marsh, of Tobias, Neb., Mrs Kate Farrand, of Dixon, Ill., Mrs Angeline Harmon, Creston, Ill., Mr. Miles Marsh, Greene, Iowa, Mr E P Lyon and wife, William, Iowa. Two brothers and a sister being absent. Farewell kind sister farewell.  E P L

[RUSSELL, LOUISA ELIZABETH HOUSTON]
Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri), Thursday, July 24, 1913
A Sudden Death.
The community was shocked Wednesday afternoon of last week to learn of the death of Mrs. Henry A. Russell, a majority of the people not knowing that she was even sick.
On Monday she was as well as usual and picked berries and did other work, taking sick that night. On Wednesday morning, it was decided to take her to St. Joseph for treatment, Mrs. Russell being able to walk from the house to the car in which the trip was to be made. She grew worse before Maryville was reached but was still strong enough to walk from the car into the hospital, but died in less than two hours afterwards, the cause of her death being due to obstruction in the bowels.
Louisa E. [lizabeth] Russell was born May 2, 1869, near Clearmont, Nodaway Co., Mo. Here she grew to womanhood and at the age of 13 years was converted and united with the M. E. church.
On Dec. 20, 1888, she was married to Henry A. [mon] Russell, and of this union six children were born, one child, a boy, dying in infancy. Besides her husband and children, Galen G., Beulah M. [ary], Lela M. [ay], Mac and Frank R., there is left to mourn her loss her mother, Mrs. Wm. Houston of Pickering and two brothers, H. A. Houston, of Billings, Mont., and E. A. Houston of Pickering.
But not only her family mourn, for no one who knew her well heard of her death without emotion. Seldom does death visit us and leave such a loss and desolation in its wake. To know Mrs. Russell was to love her, being of a bright, sunny nature. She was a woman who made friends with all—always unselfish and doing all in her power to make life brighter for those with whom she came in contact. Those who knew her can give some incident to illustrate this kindly, helpful nature. One friend of Mrs. Russell's will tell of some boy with whom she talked, trying to influence for good; another of motherless girls to whom she was a sympathetic friend. Many can tell of help in time of sickness and how she often left home duties to help a friend or neighbor.
In the societies to which she belonged, Mrs. Russell was always ready to do even more than her share, always generous, busy and helpful. She possessed one trait said to be rare in women, a keen sense of humor. No one enjoyed a funny incident or hearty laugh more than she and in a crowd of friends she was ever met with heartiest greetings and her absence was never passed unnoticed.
Victor Hugo has said, "The refusal of the mind to recognize the failings of the body is, in itself, a great power." Mrs. Russell possessed this power to an unusual degree.
Tho never of a rugged constitution, she did not allow this to hinder her in any task she felt would help her family and she made of duty a pleasure. To her family she was a warm hearted mother and as her daughters said, a chum and confident as well. Her boys as well as her girls went to her with all their troubles and joys, and to Mrs. Houston, her mother, she was all that a daughter could be.
Mrs. Russell's death was very sudden, her illness being of short duration. She was taken sick on Monday night with an intestinal trouble and died at the hospital in Maryville the following Wednesday.
Funeral services were held at the family residence, south of Hopkins, Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Foster of Grant City and burial took place in the Hopkins cemetery.   R

[SCHLEY, MARY KREIBIEHL (CRABILL)
Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri), Thursday, September 5, 1901
Obituary – Mrs. Mary Schley was born in Page county, Iowa, April 7, 1864 and she died at her home in Hopkins, Mo., Sept. 1, 1901, at the age of 37 years, 4 months and 24 days. She was married to Henry Schley June 3, 1883 and was the mother of three children. These with her husband still live to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother. She was converted under the ministry of Rev. W. B. Redburn and joined the Hopkins M E church of which she remained a loyal member until she went to her better inheritance. Her piety was not a loudly demonstrative sort but was ever manifest to those who were closely related to her in every day walks of life. The verity of her faith in Jesus was strongly manifested during her sickness, especially during the last week. In touching and loving words, she exhorted her husband and children to live a good life and meet her in Heaven. Death to her "had no terrors." She died the death of the righteous. A good woman has gone to her reward.
The funeral services were conducted by her pastor at the home on Sept. 2, according to her direction before she died and in arrangement and good taste it was a model one. The bereaved husband and children have the sympathy of the entire community.   C. H. John

Lucile Smith, 10 Years Old, Dies at Home Near Hopkins
Lucile Smith, the 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs Willard Smith, 2 miles northeast of Hopkins, died suddenly and unexpectedly at her home Tuesday afternoon at about 3 o'clock. She had not been feeling well the last few days and had not attended school since last Friday, but had been up and around the house, going to the table the day of her death to eat dinner.
She suddenly became delirious soon after dinner and fell to the floor and died almost instantly, before Dr. Kirk who was called, could reach there and before the father who was called from the Curt Hall sale could reach home. The cause of her death is given as anaemia, a blood disease from which the child had been bothered since birth. She was a bright and lovable child and her untimely death is not only a great shock to the family but to the people of the vicinity in which she had always lived. Funeral services will be held at the house Thursday afternoon at 1:30 conducted by Rev. E. C. Wright, pastor of the Methodist church of Hopkins and burial will be in the Hopkins cemetery. – Hopkins Journal

Died Suddenly
Apoplexy Claims Another Victim in the Person of Wiley Williamson
The citizens of this city were surprised Tuesday morning to learn of the death of Wiley Williamson, which occurred that morning at about 6 a. m., at his home in South Hopkins.
He was down town the night before his death, apparently in the best of health and retired that night feeling well.
About five o'clock he awoke and told his wife he felt queer, at the same arising and going into the sitting room, where he remained but a short time, saying that he felt so bad he would go back to bed.
Mrs Williamson at once called Chas Pennington, who lives just across the street and he went posthaste for Dr. King, but by the time they reached the house, Mr Williamson was unconscious and expired a few minutes later, the cause of his death being due, the doctor says, to apoplexy. A sister of the deceased died the same way a few years ago.

Mr. Williamson is the fourth of a quartette of prominent Hopkins men to die during the past six weeks—the first being Samuel McFarland, founder of the town; the second, S K Wray, the veteran hardware man and the third, E B Johnson, the well to do farmer; and a strange coincident is the fact that all four of these men were leading members of the Hopkins M E church.
Mr. Williamson was 55 years old and quite well off, his estate being valued at from twenty to thirty thousand dollars, which is all willed to his wife, he having no children.
He took Ed Corwin and sister (now Mrs Chas Pennington) to raise when they were small and always treated and regarded them as if they were his own children. For several years his farming interests have been looked after by Messrs. Corwin and Pennington.
Mr Williamson was a good, substantial citizen and his death is a great loss to this community.
The funeral was held today at 11 a. m. at the M E church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. H. John, after which interment took place in the Hopkins cemetery.
Obituary – George Wiley Williamson was born in Venango county, Penn., March 2, 1846, and died of apoplexy at his home in Hopkins, Mo., Feb. 5, 1901, aged 54 years, 11 months and 3 days.
When about eight years of age he came with his parents to Warren county, Ill., and in 1870 moved to Page county, Iowa, settling on a farm near Braddyville. He was married to Miss Sarah Elizabeth Miller, Jan 11, 1874, and in March of the same year he came to Nodaway county. In 1880 he bought and settled on a 240-acre farm 4 ½ miles east of Clearmont, where he lived until 1891 when he bought and moved onto the farm where he lived at the time of his death.
He was converted under the preaching of Charles Balsam at the Lone Elm schoolhouse seven miles northeast of Clearmont, in 1883, after which he joined the M E church of which he was an official member when he died. He was largely instrumental in building the Prairie Temple church on the Clearmont charge. He gave $200 and an acre of land on the first subscription and at the dedication enough more to make about $300. His immediate surviving relatives are his wife, two brothers and three sisters; only one sister, a Mrs Martin of near Braddyville, being able to be present at the funeral.
He was a man widely known and highly respected throughout the northern party of this county. The one subject of a religious character that especially concerned him was the rebuilding of the Hopkins M. E. church. In the last conversation he had with his pastor, Rev C H John, about the matter he said: "If I will raise $1,500, will you raise the rest?" The proposition involved the giving of not less than $500 of this amount himself.

Kills Himself
Ed Yeomans Becomes Despondent and Takes His Own Life
Edward Yeomans, a well-known young man in this community, shot himself in the forehead with a 22 caliber rifle about 7 o'clock last Thursday morning, at his home 3 ½ miles east of Hopkins and died late that night without regained consciousness.
He had been teaching school until less than a year ago when he dropped that profession, thinking that he was not as successful as he should be and on this account became despondent which finally caused him to take his own life.
On the morning of his death he ate a hearty breakfast and went about the house whistling, apparently in the best of spirits.
After breakfast, his older brother, Fred, went to the barn to get a couple of corn knives, the two boys having arranged to cut some corn that morning, and when he returned to the house and asked for Ed, the mother said he had just stepped out the back door with his rifle. Fred hastened to follow him and reached the corner of the house to hear the report of the gun and to see his brother fall.
Some months ago, the deceased made a trip to Colorado for the benefit of his health and after he had gone a note was found in one of his pockets saying, "I have committed suicide," which goes to show that he had contemplated the act for some time. This is the only note he left.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. Seelig at the family residence on Saturday afternoon, and the remains were followed to the Hopkins cemetery by a long procession of sympathizing friends.
The following obituary is furnished by Rev. Seelig:
Edgar Yeomans was born 3 ½ miles east of Hopkins, Mo., March 7, 1882, and died at his home Oct. 9, 1902.
He graduated from the Hopkins High School May 22, 1900, having stood high in all his work.
He was respected and loved by his teachers and classmates. One of his friends said, "He took pride in being a man in every sense of the word;" another said, "he was highly respected by all who knew him."
He united with the Presbyterian church of Hopkins, Feb. 20, 1898, and was one of the most conscientious and faithful members—one of the sacred few who never refused to undertake anything asked of him, and undertaking it will that cheerfulness that indicates a heartfelt earnestness in the Lord's work.
A whole church of such members would soon move the world to higher and better living. He was a child among children, and a man among men.
Edgar was religiously inclined from childhood, a lover of God's house and word and work. His pride was especially in the Sabbath school. He leaves a mother, two brothers, and other more distant relatives, and a great host of friends to mourn his loss.
