Death of Mrs. L. R. Campbell.
The old, old story, Death. The story that began in the morning of the world and will continue its sad recitals till the heavens are rolled up like a scroll. Death has touched with his fatal shaft a shining mark, and we mourn the loss of one of this community early learned to love and esteem. Mrs. L. [ucretia] R. Campbell, wife of N.[ewton] S. [tewart] Campbell, who died on the 19th inst., in the prime of life and the flush of womanhood, although comparatively a stranger in our midst, was one who in the circle of earnest and appreciative friends, whom her many pleasant graces, genial manners and womanly virtues drew around her, will be missed and mourned with the depth of sorrow which only the inspirations of Christian hope can comfort and assuage. She was a woman of retiring disposition, but not unsocial and amid her cares of home and family was ever finding opportunities for promoting the happiness of her friends and ministering to the comforts and enjoyments of those around her. The bereaved husband, whose sorrow words cannot express, has the sincere sympathy of the entire community. Cold comfort for the broken hearted are words, but in joy many voices add to the delight. For the joy left his lonely home, a bright little girl but a few years old, we raise our prayers that she may be a sunbeam thrown across the gloomy darkness. May this comfort and hope, tender and faint now, though its light, beam upon and over the shadows of Death as shine the stars in the sky above and beyond the tempest.  N.

Robert Carr, an esteemed farmer of Atchison township, and a brother of Charley Carr, has been sadly afflicted within the past six weeks. About three weeks ago three members of his family were taken away with diptheria. His daughter, Olive L. Carr, aged eight years, was first called to the better land; then followed his beloved daughter. L. R. Carr aged twenty-one years; and lastly, Ellen E. Carr, aged five years. Miss L. R. Carr was a well-known schoolteacher of this county and was beloved by all who knew her for her amiable disposition and kind heart. Only four weeks before the death of the above-named children Mr. Carr was called upon to mourn the loss of a promising son, aged eighteen years. Thus in the very flower of their youth have four idolized children been taken from their parents within a short time. This blow to these fond parents is indeed a hard one, but they are comforted by the assurance that the separation is only for a brief period and that soon there will be a happy re-union with the loved ones on the other side.

She was buried on the 21st, her remains being followed to the grave by a large concourse of friends and relations.

[CHASTAIN, JAMES MADISON]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, May 13, 1875
--'Squire Jas. M. [adison] Chastain, an old and esteemed citizen of Lincoln township, died on Wednesday, the 5th inst., from paralysis. He had been quite severely afflicted with this disease for the past nine months, having been confined to his bed most of that time. 'Squire Chastain was about fifty-five years of age and, prior to his sickness, was a man of very powerful and muscular physical frame. He held the position of justice of the peace for many years, was a man of his own mind and self-made in the truest acceptation of that term. He was a deacon in the Baptist church of which he had long been an upright and worthy member. His death will be much lamented in the community where he has so long resided notwithstanding it had been anticipated for months past. He leaves a devoted family and numerous friends who will ever cherish his memory and commend his many virtues. Peace to his ashes.

Death of Franklin Chestnut.
The sad event announced above occurred on last Saturday night, the 9th inst., at half past nine o'clock at Mr. Chestnut's residence, six miles west of Lamar Station in Atchison county, a short distance from the Nodaway line. The disease which terminated his life after three weeks of painful illness was typhoid fever. Though his suffering were great he bore them with true Christian fortitude and patience and, when the end came, passed happily and triumphantly over the raging billows of death into the bright realms of endless day. Mr. Chestnut was for many years a consistent and honored member of the Baptist church and during his sickness and at his decease, gave the most satisfactory evidence of his acceptance with God and of the fact that death to him was but the gateway to a higher and holier existence. He leaves a devoted wife and several children to mourn his loss, to whom the sympathies of the entire community are extended in this their hour of affliction and bereavement. The deceased was an esteemed and worthy member of Kennedy Lodge, No. 329, A. F. and A. M., and was buried with Masonic honors by the lodge on Sunday, the 10th inst., at the Spore cemetery, west of Lamar Station. Past Master, John M. Lamar, conducted the burial ceremonies in accordance with ancient customs of the order. And thus another good man and respected citizen has been taken away in the prime and vigor of life and once more the solemn truth of man's mortality and liability to death is impressed upon the mind.    W.

This estimable lady died of consumption on the 14th day of March, at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Marshall, of Mound City, Holt county. She was endeared to a large circle of friends and acquaintances by her amiability and womanly virtues.

W. M. Coston Dies
William M. Coston was born November 2, 1834 in the state of New York. He emigrated to the west when a young man, where he was a pioneer in four different states—Missouri, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma, in order named.
During the civil war he served as second lieutenant with company I of the Forty-eighth Missouri Infantry of the union army.
A very large part of his early and middle life was spent in helping to bring civilization and prosperity to the west and southwest. He has resided in Sulphur since 1911 where he has been well and honorably known.
His death occurred at his home in West Sulphur February 11, 1921. He was buried last Sunday in Oaklawn Cemetery in the family lot.
The bereaved are: His wife, Maggie C. Coston, two sons, J. M. Coston of Edmond, Okla., D. L. Coston of Oklahoma City, two daughters, Mrs. Minnie Walker of Ames, Iowa, Mrs. Carrie Coston Geyer of Ochelata, Okla. and the families of each.
Funeral services were held at the residence, conducted by Rev. C. Bounds, pastor of the Vinita Avenue Methodist Church, whose funeral sermon was the topic of much comment afterwards, because of the forcefulness, aptness and impressiveness of the address. A tremendous large crowd gathered to pay their last respects to this venerable and well respected citizen. A large concourse of people also followed the funeral procession to Oaklawn Cemetery where the remains were laid to rest.

[COX, JOSEPH]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 27, 1876
DIED. COX. – At the residence of his father, Henry A. Cox, in Lincoln township, Nodaway county, Missouri, on the 19th day of April 1876, Joseph Cox, after several week's illness with measles combined with typhoid fever.
How true the saying is that "death is no respecter of persons." He calls from earth the young as well as the aged and sooner or later his dread summons come to all. "Man dieth and wasteth away; yea, he giveth up the ghost and where is he?" If by chance we escape the numerous ills incident to childhood and youth and with vigor arrive at the years of manhood yet the all devouring scythe of time will soon cut us down and gather us into the land where our fathers have gone before us. Mr. Cox was but twenty-five years of age and up to the time of his fatal sickness enjoyed good health and was possessed of a sound constitution. He first had the measles and when recovering, caught cold, which brought on the typhoid fever. This complication of diseases proved fatal. Mr. Cox was a young man who was highly esteemed and much beloved by all who knew him. He was a worthy member of the M. E. church, South, to which denomination he belonged for a period of seven or eight years. He was also a member of Kennedy Lodge No. 329 A. F. & A. M. the deceased was the son of Henry A. Cox and nephew of John M. Lamar. His loss is deeply felt in the community in which he resided, but his many friends, while sorrowing and mourning that he has been taken away from them so early in life, can have the consolation that his happy spirit has gone to the better world above to live forever in the realms of endless day.

[CRAYBILL, WILLIAM]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Tuesday, April 4, 1871
Another tragedy, which for premeditated coolness has no equal in the annals of self-destruction was enacted in Atchison Township, on last Thursday evening. He had just returned from the field where he had been sowing oats, put up his horses, went to the house and eat his dinner; during the course of the meal he informed his wife that he intended to shoot himself, which he proceeded to carry into effect; he took the gun, went to the door, discharged it, reloaded the gun very heavily and went to the East side of the house, near the chimney, where he pulled off his right boot and the sock, and placed the muzzle of the gun to his forehead pulling the trigger with his right toe. In an instant William Craybill was ushered from the scene of his imaginary troubles—a self-murderer. His wife followed him out, but he peremptorily ordered her to go into the house which she was forced to do. She started to go to a neighbors to give the alarm, but was too late.
It is premised that jealousy was the "green eyed monster" which caused the trouble as he was very jealous. We have not learned whether or not he had any real cause or not, even if he had, blowing one's head off is a poor antidote. This was the successful attempt, having heretofore tried to put an end to his existence twice.
The deceased had been living in this County about three years, where he had moved from Ohio.

[GILL, EDWIN]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, March 9, 1876
--Mr. Edwin Gill, who resided some six or seven miles west of Maryville, died very suddenly about 5 o'clock on last Tuesday morning from the effects of "Heart clot." It appears that Mr. Gill was taken sick two or three weeks since with a species of the pneumonia fever. Dr. Hackedorn was called to see him and under his treatment, Mr. Gill rapidly convalesced. Being, however, a very energetic and industrious man, he could not endure the monotony of confinement in the house and before his system had improved sufficiently to admit of much exercise, he was out seeing to matters about the farm. This resulted in his getting down again and in severe bleeding from the lungs. The doctor succeeded in raising him again but too much exercise caused another relapse and more bleeding from the lungs and on last Monday night Dr. Hackedorn was once more called to his assistance. The patient passed the night very well, the doctor remaining with him, but early in the morning, about 5 o'clock, the doctor stepped out of the house a moment and upon his return found Mr. Gill struggling in death and in a moment he died. His death was the result of "Heart clot."

[GILL, EDWIN]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, March 9, 1876
Death of Edwin Gill.
Again has Nodaway county been called upon to mourn the loss of one of her most valued and respected citizens. Mr. Edwin Gill who resided about seven miles southwest of Maryville, breathed his last on Tuesday morning. Mr. Gill with two of his brothers came to Nodaway county from Illinois some five or six years ago. He at once took his place among our most active and prominent citizens. He was a successful farmer and a prominent stock dealer. He had been in poor health for some time and a few days ago held a sale of his personal property, preparatory to travel for his health. But he was seized with a severe attack of pneumonia which resulted in his death. He was attended by Dr. Hackedorn. To all appearance the disease was checked, and he was in a fair way of recovering. Last Monday evening Dr. Hackedorn sat up with him and every symptom was the most favorable. During the latter part of the night he awoke after a refreshing slumber and remarked that he felt better than he had any time since he had been taken sick and asked the Dr. to raise him in bed, saying he felt quite strong. Hardly had the Doctor replaced him when Death laid his icy hand upon his heart, and he was gone. The blood had clotted in his heart or as the physicians term it, the "Heart Clot," and death was almost instantaneous.
Mr. Gill leaves a most estimable wife and four children. This terrible affliction falling so suddenly upon his family is almost more than they can bear and no words that kind neighbors and friends can say can lessen the agony of a loving wife and fond children. They can only mingle their tears with them and comfort must come from above. Neither can we say anything that will heighten the respect felt for Mr. Gill by all who knew him while living. Nodaway has indeed lost a valuable and respected citizen.

--Our well-known townsman John G. Grems, has had a bright, three-year-old little girl almost at the point of death for this past week, with membranous croup, of the very worse type. Almost every known remedy was tried for the relief of the little sufferer, but without avail until on last Monday Doctors Dean, Hackedorn and Morrison, held a consultation and decided that as a last resort, a hole must be cut in the child's throat, into the windpipe and a tube inserted therein. The surgical operation was at once performed and the tube inserted into the windpipe giving the little sufferer immediate relief to the great enjoyment of her anxious parents whose idol she is. Since writing the above we learn that the little one, after lingering a few days, passed away and died last Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock. The afflicted family have the sympathy of the entire community in their great bereavement. The funeral services will take place on this, Thursday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, at the M. E.

During the summer of 1863 his company traveled some 1,600 miles on one continuous march and during the winter of 1863-64 he did provost duty in St. Louis.
In the spring of 1864, he joined Gen. A. J. Smith's army corps, taking part in the battle of Tapelo, Miss. and in the campaign to Holly Springs and Tallahatchie, thence to Independence, Mo., from whence the corps marched back to Nashville. Mr. Grems was taken sick and was left at McPherson General hospital at Vicksburg. Here he remained three months and after partially recovering he acted as clerk for Major White, surgeon in charge. In June 1865, he was granted a furlough by a special letter from Secretary Stanton and was afterwards mustered out at St. Paul, Minn.
Served Three and One-Half Years
In all, Mr. Grems served three and one-half years. He was in five battles with the Sioux Indians and in six battles while with the Sixteenth A. C.
Mr. Grems was born near Watertown, Jefferson county, New York, February 25, 1843. His father, Daniel Grems, was born in Rome, New York and by occupation was a farmer. His mother formerly Miss Rachel Pool, was born in Johnstown, New York. He accompanied his parents to La Fayette county, Wisconsin in 1849 and remained there until they moved to Dodge county, Minnesota in 1856. Mr. Grems spent his boyhood days on the farm and after going to the common school he entered the Seminary at Mantorville, Minn.
In 1867 Mr. Grems moved to Missouri and spent the winter at Savannah, coming to Maryville in the spring of 1868. He bought the National Hotel and kept it until the fall of 1871, when he acted as host at the Central Hotel. He was appointed American Express agent in the spring of 1872.

He kept the office in the R. K. Townsend store and then commenced the grocery business with a Mr. Dooley. They carried on business until 1882. During his residence here Mr. Grems has been justice of the peace, chairman of the town council and alderman and postmaster. He is a member of Nodaway lodge, No. 470, A. F. and A. M. and is a past master.
He was married in July 1867 to Miss Emma Sanborn, of Owatonna, Minn. She was born in New Hampshire.
Surviving are two daughters, Miss Adella Grems of Maryville, who lived with her father and Mrs. Ova Goff of Barnard. A son, Lewis M. Grems, died several years ago. A granddaughter, Mrs. Joe Phipps of Spencer, Ia., also survives.
In an article which appeared in the Democrat-Forum, November 13, 1924, Mr. Grems wrote:
"I came to Missouri from Minnesota in the fall of 1867, stopping with a relative who lived near Ogles Mills (now Rosendale) then came on to Maryville where I found a nice little town of about 900 population. There were no streetlights, however, and at night one could see persons going about carrying lanterns.
Few Sidewalks.
"There were scarcely any sidewalks at the crossings. At Third and Main street, there had been placed rocks on which to step during muddy times.
"One of the strangest sights to me was everyone coming to town on horseback. The women would dismount and shed their long black skirts and hang it over the horn of the saddle.
"The courthouse and grounds was enclosed by a board fence about six feet high. Later it was cut down to four feet.
"The greatest nuisance that one could think of was the running at large of cattle and hogs. There were eight or ten saloons "running wide open" without license."

GRAHAM – Another patriarch has been gathered home. Calvin Griffith, who was born in Augusta Co., Virginia, May 7th, 1810. At the age of 10 years he moved to Delaware county, Ohio. Soon after his majority he was united in marriage to Miss Mary A. Spaulding, with whom he lived happily until September 21st, 1873, when she was called to her reward on high. They had raised quite a large family of sons and daughters. In 1870 they removed to Andrew county, Missouri. After the death of his companion, father Griffy lived with his children. Some two years since he came to Graham and made his home with his daughter, Mrs. I. G. Graham. Many years ago he found peace in the arms of a crucified Redeemer and united with the Baptist Church and continued steadfast in faith until gathered home on the 21st inst. During the past few years he has been feeble in health; the fell destroying consumption was preying upon his vitality. He knew that his stay on earth was short and was ready to depart and be at rest. The day preceding his death we visited and conversed with him. He said, "I am passing away and will soon be in a better land." He died without a struggle and is at rest. A kind father, a faithful Christian and a good citizen is gone. Rest to his ashes.

GRAHAM – Mr. Griffith, father-in-law of William Graham, of this place, was called to his reward on the morning of the 21st, after an illness of about two weeks. Mr. Griffith was one of Graham's best citizens and his rather sudden death is a loss that is deeply felt in this community. To the bereft children thus deprived of a loving father, we extend our heartfelt sympathies. To him death had no terrors. He passed away "Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams."

CLEARMONT – We are pained to inform you of the death of Mrs. Joseph Horton, an esteemed lady of this place. She was taken sick on the 18th and died on the 25th inst. Mrs. Horton was a woman of fine morals and excellent education and her untimely demise will be mourned by a large circle of friends in this vicinity. The cause of her death was typhoid fever. Everything was done that could be done to prevent her death, but it was of no avail and when told what the inevitable end must be, she folded her arms calmly and casting her eyes heavenward, said, "The Lord's will be done." She passed away quietly and with the hope of eternal hope; a hope which always comforts the true Christian in the hour when the tie which unites body and soul is dissolved. Mrs. Horton leaves a devoted husband and five children to mourn her death. She was buried on Thursday morning, her remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends and relatives. Mrs. Horton's death is only another verification of the saying, "In the midst of life we are in death."

Fatal Runaway. It Results in the Death of a Boy Fourteen Years of Age.
NODAWAY Tp., April 7, '77
An affair occurred in this neighborhood on the 5th of April which has cast a gloom over the community. The facts, as we were given them by the boy's parents, are about as follows:
On the day above mentioned, the youngest son of Isaiah Huffman, aged fourteen years, was engaged in cutting stalks, on the farm of Mr. Ferguson, about twelve miles northwest of Maryville. He was riding on the fore wheels of a wagon, the stalk cutter being attached thereto. He had made one round when the cutter became uncoupled in a manner which caused the horses to take fright. The boy could not pacify them, and they soon began to run at quite a fast rate of speed. They ran for the distance of about eighty rods when they were stopped by a brother of the boy and another man. The boy, however, had been thrown off, run over and killed.
His name was Michael Huffman. He was a good boy, and the sorrow caused his parents by the accident is, as may be imagined, profound. He was kind and affectionate to his father and mother and all his school mates and playmates. His remains were buried in the Hazel Dell cemetery in the presence of his sorrowing father and mother, three sisters and one brother and many friends. It is needless to say that the family of Mr. Huffman has the sympathies of the entire community in the sad loss they thus sustain in the untimely end of their loved one.

Distressing Accident. A Young Boy Killed by a Runaway Team.
Nodaway Tp., April 5th. – A sad accident occurred in our Township today, the particulars of which I give you as I learned them from the parents:
On the above named day Michael Huffman, youngest son of Mr. Isaiah Huffman, who lives on the Furguson farm, about 12 miles northwest of Maryville, got on the fore wheels of a wagon to which a stalk cutter was attached, and commenced cutting stalks. He had made one round when the cutter came uncoupled, and the fore wheels dropped over on the tongue. The horses took fright and ran about 80 rods, when they were caught by a brother of the unfortunate boy. When the horses started, little Michael was caught under the tongue and instantly killed. He was badly bruised and disfigured, which makes his death doubly severe to his afflicted parents. He was fourteen years old and was a kind and affectionate boy. His untimely death causes great sorrow among all who knew him, and his parents and brother and sisters have the sympathy of all. His remains were taken to Hazel Dell Cemetery where many friends saw him laid to rest. Thus has a noble youth passed away, without a moments warning. May He who holds our lives in His hand, comfort the bereaved parents.  L. P. W.

Pneumonia Fatal. Joseph E. M'Jimsey Succumbs to Disease
Passed Away at His Home on North Vine Street Sunday Morning—Buried at Maryville.
Joseph E. McJimsey passed away at his home on North Vine street Sunday morning at one o'clock of pleuro-pneumonia, from which he had been a sufferer only four days. He was taken with a severe cold last Monday, but his condition was not considered dangerous until Wednesday when he was taken to his bed. He began growing worse and Friday evening his wife saw that he could not survive. E. E. E. McJimsey, the only surviving son, editor of the Springfield Republican, was summoned and arrived Saturday morning and was at his father's bedside when he passed away.
The deceased was born in Virginia in 1824. He moved to Maryville thirty-two years ago where he engaged extensively in the horse business which he continued until three years ago when he came to Chillicothe and purchased the Peter Hackett farm north of this city. He sold that place about one year ago and purchased the Summerville farm southeast of the city which he owned at the time of his death. After selling the Hackett farm he moved to this city and rented a cottage on North Vine street in which he had since resided.
Although having been a resident of this city only a short time Mr. McJimsey had gained a wide acquaintance. He was a kind man, well liked by his neighbors and all those who had the pleasure of making his acquaintance. He was a man who, when asked for charity, would give what he felt able without any questions. He joined the Methodist Episcopal church when a young man and had lived a good Christian life. He is survived his widow and one son.
Short funeral services were held at the family home Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. George P. Sturges, pastor of the First Methodist church. The remains were shipped to Maryville Sunday afternoon where the funeral was held Monday morning. Interment was made in the Maryville cemetery.

Death of J. McJimsey.
Died at his home in Chillicothe, Mo., of pneumonia, after an illness of only four days, on Sunday morning, March 10, 1907, Joseph McJimsey, aged 82 years, 6 months and 21 days.
Joseph McJimsey was born at Charleston, West Virginia, on August 19, 1824. His parents moved to Ohio when he was two years old, and when he was ten they removed to Indiana, settling in Montgomery county, where Mr. McJimsey grew to manhood and passed most of his Indiana life.
There, on October 8, 1858, he was married to Miss Isabel Bales and there their two children were born, Charles A., who died in Maryville in fall of 1875, aged 15 years, and Elmer E. E., who is editor of the Springfield, Mo., Republican and with his mother, mourns the loss of a devoted father and husband.
For a number of years Mr. McJimsey kept a store and was postmaster at Pleasant Hill, now Wingate, in Montgomery county. The family also lived at Thorntown and other places in Indiana, living at Vincennes when they moved to Missouri.
In the spring of 1875 the family moved to Missouri, settling in Maryville on March 11 of that year. Mr. McJimsey immediately engaged in the livery business, at first where the Robey barn is now located, afterwards building the barn on Main street opposite the Barmann & Wolfert Carriage Factory. He continued this business for nearly twenty years, since which time he had not been active in any permanent business.
Three years ago Mr. McJimsey bought a farm in Livingston county to which he moved. Last year he left the farm and moved into Chillicothe but was intending, as soon as he could get his business affairs settled, to return to Maryville to spend his last days. Death hastened this removal.
Short funeral services were held in Chillicothe Sunday afternoon, after which the remains were brought to Maryville on the evening Wabash train accompanied by the widow, son and his two sons, Lowell and Reed, who had been making their home with their grandparents.
Monday afternoon, just 32 years to a day from the time the family first settled in Maryville, funeral services were held here at the home of Wesley Bales, brother of Mrs. McJimsey, conducted by Rev. Grant A. Robbins, after which the mortal part was laid away in Oak Hill cemetery north of town.
Mr. McJimsey had been a Methodist from early manhood and a staunch Republican. He was of a quiet genial disposition, with a wide circle of friends. His long and useful life will be looked back upon with [approval] and all will say "a good [man] has left us."

Mr. Norman came to Meade County early in the 80s and has one of the finest ranches in the Artesian valley. He was in the neighborhood of 71 years of age.

At the beginning of the Civil War, he moved back to Indiana, where he lived until 1879, when he moved to Meade County, settling in the Artesian Valley, northeast of Meade, where he lived until taking his exit to the world above.
Mr. Norman was married Dec. 25, 1856, to Miss Arminta Neal.

Norman was a member of the Masonic fraternity; had also been a consistent member of the Christian church for 40 years. he was a quiet, reserved Christian who sought not so much to parade his Christianity in words but sought to exemplify his profession in noble deeds. So a neighbor, a friend, a noble father and a devoted husband has finished his course and entered through the gates into the Heavenly City to await our coming.

At Rest. A Good Man and an Esteemed Citizen Gone. Death of Edward S. Stephenson.
To chronicle the death of an old, honored and respected citizen is a duty of peculiar sadness.
We quite often have to record the demise of men who stand high in community, who are esteemed by all who know them and beloved by everyone in the circle of their acquaintance. Such was the case with the subject of this obituary notice. No man in the city of Maryville stood higher in the estimation of all classes of our people than Edward S. Stephenson. No man, in fact, could be more worthy and deserving of the confidence and regard of his fellow men than the deceased proved himself to be during the thirty-three years which he resided in this county. What better eulogy could be offered upon a person's life than this? When Mr. Stephenson's death became known, the first expression to fall from the lips of those hearing of the sad event, was, "a good man has gone." The manner in which it was said left no doubt of the sincerity of the utterance. To leave behind such a memory after having passed through over half a century's vicissitudes and changes of life is the greatest excellence to which a person can attain in this world. Though Mr. Stephens is dead, that is, though his body has been consigned to Mother Earth from whence it was taken, yet he liveth even in this life in this: that his many virtues are on perpetual record in the grateful remembrance of relatives, friends and all who had the pleasure to know him and in spirit he liveth in the beautiful home of the soul in the land of the Leal, beyond the portals of the tomb.
Edward S. Stephenson was born June 27, 1823, in Madison county, Kentucky. His father was Jesse Stephenson who was known to many of the first settlers of this county. The deceased moved to Nodaway county, Missouri, in the fall of 1844. He went to California in the spring of 1849, remained there about eighteen months when he came back. He then settled on what is now known as the Noe farm about four miles south of Maryville. He was married September 20, 1854 to Eliza Swearingen. Four children were born of this marriage, one of whom died in infancy; the other three are living. Rachael, the eldest, is married to John Holt; Miss Mary and Minerva are living at home with the family. In 1857 he moved to Maryville and has resided here ever since. He has been a prominent stock dealer all that time and in this business formed an extensive and favorable acquaintance throughout the county. Now that he is gone, he will sadly be missed on account of the business relations which he sustained with our people. He was a great benefit to the community as he was an active, enterprising man, a liberal, fair and strictly honest trader, a person of decisive integrity and unblemished moral character.
Mr. Stephenson was taken sick in last December. His disease seems to have been a general debility and prostration of the nervous system. At times during his sickness his friends were hopeful for his recovery, but for the past month it was evident to those who were most frequently by his bedside that his end was approaching. That end came tranquilly and quietly on last Thursday evening, the 5th inst., at half past seven o'clock and his spirit passed calmly from this life to the other world, when friends and loved ones were standing around his dying form, in tearful silence, sorrowing in consequence of his departure from them never more to mingle with them on earth. The deceased leaves two brothers, A. T. and C. L. Stephenson, and four sisters, Mrs. Glasgow, Mrs. Henry Swearingen, Mrs. Benj. Scudder and Mrs. James Allen. Mr. Stephenson had a life insurance policy in the Connecticut Mutual, an old, reliable company, for $10,000.
His funeral sermon was preached on last Saturday at the Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock A. M., by Rev. A. D. Workman, after which his remains were taken to the cemetery on the Cox farm, four and a half miles south of town, where the deceased members of the family are buried. The following gentlemen acted as pall bearers: Joseph E. Alexander, James I. George, I. V. McMillan, J. O. Martin, Joseph Jackson and Jas. B. Prather.
Rev. Workman's sermon was able and impressive and delivered to a house crowded to its utmost capacity. [Sermon not transcribed.]

Edward S. Stephenson. He Has Been Called to the Unseen World.
Last Thursday evening at a little after seven o'clock, the soul of Edward S. Stephenson passed into the unseen world. Mr. Stephenson was an honored and respected citizen, and it is with sorrow that we announce his death. He was one of the oldest and best known of our citizens. For years he had made Maryville his home and by his upright conduct had won the respect of all.
Mr. Stephenson was born in Madison county, Ky. His father, Jesse Stephenson, was a well-known citizen of that county and delt extensively in stock. Years ago one of the sisters of Jesse Stephenson was taken prisoner by the Indians. They contracted the name Stephenson into Stinson and by that name the family is better known than by their rightful name of Stephenson. The subject of our sketch was known all over Nodaway county as Mr. Stinson. In 1844 Jesse Stephenson moved to Missouri. He stayed in Buchanan county a few months and then came to this county. Edward, then a young man of 21, accompanied his father here. In 1843 when the California gold fever was at its height, Edward went to that State. He stayed eighteen months and then returned to Missouri. He then lived some years on his farm four miles south of Maryville. On the 20th of September 1854, he was united in marriage to Miss Eliza Swearengen.
In 1857 he moved to Maryville, and here for twenty years he has resided, one of our best known and most influential citizens. He has been an extensive dealer in stock all of these years. In all of his dealings he has been known as a strictly honest man. Ned Stinson's word was never doubted; what he said he performed. He was a quiet unostentatious man and took but little part in public affairs. His health has been poor for some time and at last nature seems to have given entirely away. His death has been expected for some days. He leaves a widow and three children to mourn his loss. His eldest daughter, Rachel, is the wife of Mr. John Holt. His second daughter, Mary, is a young lady, and Minerva, the youngest, is just stepping into womanhood. There is one child dead. Mr. Andrew Stephenson, one of Maryville's influential citizens, is a brother of the deceased. He also leaves several other brothers and sisters to mourn his loss. Mrs. Henry Swearengen and Mrs. Glasgow, of this township, and Mrs. B. F. Scudder, of Colorado, are sisters of the deceased.
The funeral services took place at the Presbyterian Church on Saturday at 10 o'clock A. M. Before the hour appointed the church was filled with people who had assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to the late E. S. Stephenson. Besides the many youthful and the middle-aged friends whom the solemn occasion had drawn from their homes, were old gentlemen and ladies who had known the deceased for a long time; whose forms were bent under the weight of years and whose "silver threads among the gold," told plainly that they who had been called upon to perform the last sad rites would in a few brief years enter into that "undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns."
At about a quarter before eleven o'clock the funeral cortege arrived at the church and the coffin, containing the remains of the deceased, was born by the pall bearers up the north aisle and deposited in the chancel. The usual services of the Presbyterian Church were then performed. Rev. A. D. Workman preached an able sermon, taking as his text, St. John Xiii: 7. "What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter."
The sermon ended, the last look was taken by the friends and the lid was replaced upon the coffin, there to remain forever. The remains were born from the church, and followed by a large number of friends, was conveyed to the cemetery near Isaac Cox's, south of town. After the brief services at the grove the mortal remains of Edward S. Stephenson was lowered into its last resting place and the bereaved family and friends departed for their homes.

[THOMPSON, MARY VINSONHALER]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 5, 1877
Mrs. Mary Thompson, consort of Hon. Alonzo Thompson, at the residence of her husband in St. Louis, Missouri, on Saturday, March 31st, 1877, at 6 o'clock A. M. Her disease was acute catarrh. Deceased was buried at Green Mount Cemetery, Belleville, Illinois, on Monday, April 2d, 1877. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. C. Learned, a Unitarian minister, in a Methodist church in that place.
Mrs. Mary Thompson was the daughter of Mr. Jacob Vinsonhaler, and was born in Ross county, Ohio, in the year 1836. At the age of about five years, she came with her father to this county, he being among the first settlers of the county. Her early life was spent in this county, near what is now known as the town of Graham. On the 6th day of December 1857, she was united in marriage with Alonzo Thompson, by Rev. B. F. Baxter. Her marriage was a happy one and her home was indeed pleasant. She was the mother of three children, one of whom has preceded her to the immortal land and two remain to mourn her loss—Miss Hattie, now a young lady of some eighteen years and Master Elmer. Mrs. Thompson continued to live in Nodaway county until the year 1864 when her husband was elected Auditor of State and they removed to Jefferson City, where they continued to reside until 1869, when they removed to St. Louis, where she remained until her death.
These are some of the facts connected with her history. It is needless to speak of her many good qualities to those who have had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She had the happy disposition of making all her associates enjoy her presence and company, and also of adapting herself to all the various conditions of life through which Providence has called her to pass. It can be said of her that she has acted well her part in life. She was a kind and loving mother, and to Hattie and Elmer, her loss is one that they alone can realize who have been placed in like circumstances and they, no doubt, realize today that God can give us but one mother. She was a loving wife and ever faithful to the interest of her husband and after a peaceful and happy wedded life of almost twenty years, who can tell the grief and sorrow at this sudden and no doubt unlooked for separation, which took place after a short illness of two weeks. To her near relatives and that aged mother, who linger on the shores of time, this blow will be keenly felt and may they and all her friends and associates learn to say, "He doeth all things well." I am informed that she died calmly in full confidence of a blessed immortality.   M. G. R.

--The following news item regarding the death of David Wardloe, an aged and highly respected citizen of Fillmore, we clip from the Andrew county Advance: "Old Uncle David Wardloe died very suddenly last Thursday. He was in town all forenoon and complaining some of feeling unwell. About noon he got into a wagon with Phineas Edwards to go to his home, about two miles north of town. Having gone with Mr. Edwards as far as he went his road he climbed out of the wagon and went towards the fence, Edwards driving on. Having driven a short distance, he looked back and saw the old man lying on the ground. Hurriedly hitching his team, he ran back and found him still lying as he first saw him, with a large pole eight feet long lying across his breast. He removed it and found the old man completely paralyzed. He begged him to put him in his wagon and take him home, saying he was dead. Mr. Edwards ran towards his house for help. Returning in a few minutes he found the old man dead. 'Squire Powell immediately summoned a jury, who proceeded to investigate the case. Dr. Spicer made a postmortem examination. The decision was that in attempting to climb the fence, he had fallen backward and ruptured a blood vessel at the base of the brain, from which he died. he has been a resident of this immediate neighborhood for nearly 40 years. He was 64 years old the day of his death.

--We regret to learn of the death of Andrew J. Wilson, son of J.[ames] B. [lackburn] Wilson, of Washington township, which occurred on Wednesday night the 15th inst. the fatal disease was typhoid fever. He was a young man of excellent moral character and fine disposition. The writer knew him well and knew him but to esteem him for his noble qualities. It is sad that a young man full of bright promise for the future should thus be cut down when blooming into full manhood. Verily are the ways of Providence inscrutable to man.

[WILSON, CASSIE ELVIRA]

DIED. WILSON – Casse Elvira, daughter of J. E. and Elisabeth Wilson, aged twelve years, eight months and twenty-eight days, after suffering affliction for nine years of her life.
The fond parents procured all the medical aid that could be obtained for recovery, but it proved of no avail. God, in his infinite providence, saw fit in his own appointed time to call her from the family circle and from this world of affliction to a home in heaven where there is no sorrow, no pain, no death. She has paid the debt we all owe, for "Dust thou art and to dust thou shalt return." Oh! how frail, how mortal is man. He is like the blossom that fadeth or the grass that withereth in a moment. He dieth and is gone and where is he? Solemn thought—in eternity. Friends of the deceased mourn not as those who have no hope. The Savior says: "Except ye become as little children ye can in no wise enter the kingdom of Heaven.: She has left her parents, three brothers and two sisters to mourn her loss.
