An Old Settler Gone.
Died at his home in Grant township, on Friday, February 10, 1905, John W. Houghtaling, aged 67 years, 4 months and thirteen days.
John W. Houghtaling was born in Albany county, New York September 27, 1837. In 1847 he removed with the family to Boone county, Illinois, where he grew to manhood on a farm. When he was 21 years old he came to Missouri and bought the farm of 137 acres on which he afterward lived. After remaining here for a short period he returned to Illinois, where, in Boone county, in 1863, he was married to Miss Kate Berger. To them were given three children.
In 1863 Mr. Houghtaling enlisted in the 95th Illinois infantry. He served in the terrible Guntown expedition which was so disastrous to the Union soldiers. He was with A. J. Smith in the Red River expedition and also in the Siege of Mobile. He suffered from sunstroke and had a leg broken in the service. He was discharged from the service in February, 1866.
Soon after being mustered out Mr. Houghtaling with his family moved to Nodaway county and settled on the farm he had previously bought and which remained his home to the end. He was a good farmer and a quite responsible citizen. For some time his health had not been good, yet death was rather unexpected.
Mr. Houghtaling was among the early acquaintances of the editor, and in the early days of Nodaway county they were intimately associated in political gatherings and the like. But lately he did not come to the county seat so often as before, as is indeed the case with all of our older friends.
He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Masonic fraternity. He will be sadly missed by all his associates and of course to his family is an irreparable loss. to them we extend our heartfelt sympathy.

Auto Accident Claims Victim
R. L. Houghtaling Instantly Killed When Car Turns Over
Went Off Steep Embankment Near Home Monday Afternoon—Was Not Found for Three Hours—Leaves Wife and Five Children.
R. L. Houghtaling, who lives five miles southeast of Bedford, met his death Monday afternoon when the automobile which he was driving went off a steep embankment alongside the road and turned over, breaking his neck and crushing one side of his head. He was alone. The body was taken to Bolckow, Mo., Tuesday afternoon, where burial will be made.
The facts of the accident will probably never be known as no one saw the accident and it was probably three hours afterwards that the body was discovered. Mr. Houghtaling had left his home shortly after noon in his car and intended to drive to a sale north of Bedford. The roads were muddy and slippery and the car was enclosed.
The accident happened about a half mile from his home where the road had been graded and had washed out leaving the track very narrow. It is thought by tracks in the road where the car went over that the wheels had got into a rut, leading out to the side of [the road] and the driver was unable to keep in the road. When the car went off the bank it turned completely over, pinning the driver between the ground and the car. The drop was about twelve feet. [Words unreadable] and a doctor called but he had been dead for some time. It is hardly thought that Mr. Houghtaling was instantly killed as blood on the outside and inside of his mitten he wore, indicate that possibly he had made every possible effort to extricate himself from the wreckage.
The car was not badly damaged, the top being mashed and the windshield broken. The fenders were bent some. The car was brought to Bedford under its own power.
One of the pathetic scenes of the accident happened while the men were getting the car back onto the road. The Houghtaling children were on their way home from school and did not know of their father's death until told by the men who did not know them.
Mr. Houghtaling leaves a wife and five children. He formerly lived in Bedford and stayed at the G. F. Robinson home for a time.

R. L. Houghtaling Instantly Killed In Auto Accident
Unformat Man Is Under Car Three Hours Before Accident Is Known
Car Skidded Too Near Edge of Ten Foot Embankment on Muddy Road, Turning Turtle Through the Air, Landing Full Force at the Bottom.
Raymond L. Houghtaling was killed instantly about 2:30 Monday afternoon when his car went over an embankment, landing on top of him, a short distance west of the John Hammond home about five miles southeast of Bedford. Mr. Houghtaling, who resided about six miles southeast of Bedford was coming toward home after dinner. Lew Ackley met him near the Hammond corner which is only a short distance from where the accident occurred about 12:30 but the overturned car was not discovered until about three hours later when [?] Thompson [paper torn and part of article missing]. .  . that death was instantaneous, and his neck was broken and one side of his head and face was crushed. [he] was about 32 years of age.
At the place where the accident occurred the road is narrow and on the [place?] where the car went over there is an embankment about ten feet deep nearly straight down. From all appearances the car skidded on the muddy road, too near the edge of the embankment, turning turtle through the air and landing full force at the bottom. Outside of the top and the [words missing] being demolished the car was only slightly damaged.
Besides his wife, Mr. Houghtaling is survived by three children and two stepchildren. Short funeral services were held at the home yesterday afternoon and the body was shipped to Bolckow where burial was made Wednesday afternoon.

[HOUGHTALING, RAYMOND L.]

Raymond L. Houghtaling – Raymond L. Houghtaling, son of the late John W. and Kate B. Houghtaling, was born in Nodaway county, Missouri, August 28, 1885, departed this life Monday February 18, 1918, near Bedford, Iowa.
Deceased spent most of his life in and near Bolkow, Mo. On February 1, 1906, he was married to Miss Laura Miller of Bolckow. To this union three children were born, Franklin Perry, age ten years, Don Warren, age 8 years and Vern Vinson, age 3 years, in April next.
This wife and mother of his precious children departed this life April 5, 1915.
On March 15, 1917, he was again married to Mrs. Minnie Mann of St. Joseph, Mo., and moved to a farm East and South of Bedford which he had purchased as a home for himself and family. Here he was happy in his home with his little boys again with him and a companion's love and mother's care for the children.
In the very prime of young manhood Raymond went home to meet his Lord and Master, being 32 years, 5 months and 20 days of age. He leaves to mourn his untimely death his companion and Edwin and Marie Mann; the three children; two sisters, Mrs. Carrie B. McCoppin, Maryville, Mo., and Mrs. Jennie M. Dougan of Bolckow, Mo. One brother, Frank E. Houghtaling of Portis, Kans., three nieces and four nephews with a host of warm friends.
Raymond yielded his heart and life to the Savior in conversion and public profession in December 1915 and united with the First Baptist church of Bedford, being baptized by the pastor, Rev. Hatcher, in Jan. 1916.
Happy in a new found faith and a Savior's love, Raymond identified himself with the Pastor's class in Sunday school and devoted much time in the home to Bible study and soul culture. Of the more than two years his pastor intimately knew the deceased he was a "good-scout" for the better life and those whom he knew and loved.
A loving father, a devoted companion, a good neighbor, a friend to all, a pall rests over the entire community in the untimely death of this noble young man.
May he who never errs and to whom Raymond committed his whole life, comfort our hearts and enable us to say "A-man" to his sweet will. May he comfort, care for and bring us to the close of our day in peace and joy eternally.
The members of the W. R. C. are requested to meet at Memorial Hall Sunday morning at 10:30 sharp to join the G. A. R. and march in a body to the Presbyterian church to attend the Flag service.

Died After 3 Year Fight With Death
Funeral of W. E. Miller Took Place Today at Hopkins—Was Teacher in Skidmore School.
Friday. After a three years' struggle with tuberculosis, during which time his young wife, watching the tragedy of her husband's growing weakness and carried on her work in the school, Professor Willard E. Miller of Skidmore died Wednesday afternoon.
The funeral services were held this afternoon at the Christian church of Hopkins, conducted by the Rev. Henry Baker. The body was brought from Skidmore yesterday and taken to the home of Mrs. Miller's mother, Mrs. Nettie Kime.
Both Prof Miller and his wife were teachers in the Skidmore schools, he continuing his work until illness forced him to give it up and Mrs. Miller keeping on, being at present teacher of the intermediate department. Prof. Miller made a splendid success of his work, not only at Skidmore but at other places. He had been a sufferer from consumption for the past three years. For several months his sufferings had made such inroads in his health that his death was expected at any time. Mr. Miller was a member of the Skidmore M. W. A.

Acid Ended Life. J. W. Morehouse Committed Suicide Saturday. Fourth in His Family.
Brother, Nephew and Son Have Also Taken Their Own Lives. He was married Six Weeks Ago.
J. Wellington Morehouse, a well-known farmer of 70 years of age, living four miles southwest of Hopkins, committed suicide at his home Saturday morning by drinking carbolic acid.
Mr. Morehouse went to the barn early Saturday morning, and it is supposed he drank the deadly poison as soon as he went to the barn, for it was evident he had been dead for some time when the body was found about 11 o'clock by a member of his family.
The family knows of no reason why he should have committed the deed.
Mr. Morehouse's wife died about three years ago and about six weeks ago he was again married to Mrs. Mary Wood of St. Joseph. Mr. Morehouse's children were much opposed to the second marriage and we learn that they had not visited him since he arrived home with his wife. He was sorely grieved over their actions in regard to the matter, it is said.
Mr. Morehouse leaves four children, William Morehouse and Mrs. Russell Holmes of near Hopkins and Mrs. Mary Richey, who was her father's housekeeper until a few weeks ago.
Mr. Morehouse was a son of the late Judge Stephen Morehouse and a brother of Ex-Gov Albert P. Morehouse of Missouri and of the late Stephen Morehouse of this city. He was born in Ohio and came to Missouri with his parents in 1856 and settled in Nodaway county in the same neighborhood in which he died.
It is a strange fact that three members of the Morehouse family have committed suicide. Governor Morehouse committed suicide September 23, 1891, at the Morehouse home, on East Sixth street in this city, by cutting his throat. His son, Edwin Y. Morehouse, committed suicide by shooting himself at his home on East Fourth street, in the first part of December 1907. A son-in-law of Wellington Morehouse, Wm. Richey, committed suicide a few years ago while living on the George B. Baker farm, east of the city.

Dr. Wm. Wallis, Jr., coroner, was called and a coroner's inquest was held at the Wellington Morehouse home this afternoon and no further details are known.
On Friday Mr. Morehouse held a stock sale on his farm. It was considered a very good sale and good prices were received. He appeared on that day very cheerful.

Wellington Morehouse, Who Committed Suicide Saturday, Was Buried Monday Morning.
The funeral services for Wellington Morehouse, the well-known farmer of near Hopkins who committed suicide Saturday morning by drinking carbolic acid, were held at the family home Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
The coroner's jury summoned by Coroner Dr. Will Wallis, was composed of D. N. Burch, Charles Wilson, Charles Wilder, E. L. Gilbert, H. R. Mothershead and C. G. Partridge. The verdict was that the deceased had come to his death by drinking carbolic acid. The witnesses were Calla Harman, O. L. Coleman, F. M. Nave and W. J. Ringgold.
The deceased left nothing to tell why he committed the deed, but it was generally known that he was deeply grieved over the trouble with his children caused by his recent marriage.

Died Like Relatives
J. W. Morehouse, A Pickering Farmer Commits Suicide.
Pickering, Mo., Dec. 21. – James Wellington Morehouse, sixty-five years old, brother of former Gov. A. T. Morehouse, who killed himself in Maryville by cutting his throat with a knife, Sept. 30, 1891, and father of Ned Morehouse, who followed the example of his uncle about five years ago in the same house in Maryville, committed suicide in the barn at the rear of his home five miles northeast of here this morning shortly before daylight by drinking a quantity of carbolic acid.
The body was not found until 11 o'clock this morning when relatives became alarmed at the extended delay and investigated. The discovery was made by Gilbert Nace, a farmer living nearby, who had come to the Morehouse home to visit Morehouse.
When Morehouse arose this morning, he left the house ostensibly for the purpose of doing the morning chores. When he did not return Mrs. Morehouse supposed he had gone to visit neighbors, as was his custom.
A tumbler and the bottle which had contained the acid were beside the body when it was found after Nance declared he had not seen Morehouse and search was instituted.
No Reason for Deed.
No reason can be assigned for the deed as the man had apparently been happy. He retired early last night and slept soundly all night, according to the widow. However, he had been complaining of not feeling well for some time, but yesterday had remarked that he believed his condition was improving.
The dead man's brother, Governor Morehouse, who also was a suicide, served as governor in 1887-88. He was elected lieutenant-governor in 1884 and served out the unexpired term of Governor Marmaduke who died in office.
Mr. Moorehouse is survived by his second wife, who was Mrs. Frank Wood of St. Joseph and to whom he was married last November and four children, Mrs. Mary Richey and William Morehouse, of Pickering, and Mrs. Hattie Fine and Mrs. Emma Holmes, who lives across the line in Iowa.

Mr. Morehouse's first wife died about a year ago and he was married about a month ago to Mrs. Frank Wood of St. Joseph. It is thought business reverses caused him to worry himself into a desperate mood during which the deed was planned. Mr. Morehouse has four children living, Mrs. A. C.

Mrs. Robey Dead
Passed Away Very Suddenly Monday Afternoon. Was Not in Good Health But It Was Not Thought That Death Was Near—Funeral Services to Be Held Wednesday.
The report of the sudden death of Mrs. Robey, wife of Mayor Arthur S. Robey, could scarcely be believed Monday evening when the sad news was circulated about our city a little after 5 o'clock.
It was known that Mrs. Robey was not in good health but no one, not even the members of her family, thought that death was near. Her death was due to organic heart trouble and diseased lungs, from which she had suffered for two years. Last summer on the advice of her physician, Dr. G. A. Nash, Mrs. Robey spent several months in California and various places in the west, visiting her mother, Mrs. Martha Brockelman, at Meridian, Cal., and two sisters at Santa Rosa. She was greatly benefited but the benefit was only temporary. For the past two months she has been subject to acute attacks of apparent indigestion that did not last but a few minutes at a time, but their severity increased and last Friday night she was seized with an attack so severe that she told her husband that she could not live through many more. Monday afternoon she went to her dressmaker, Mrs. Stella Lawson, to have a dress fitted and when about to start home was seized with pains in her left side and said she felt very sick. She went home immediately and asked that her medicine be brought to her. Feeling smothered, she went to the west porch of her home and was taken with a severe coughing spell. Her condition was noticed by a neighbor who went to her. Mrs. Robey asked her to send for her husband and children, for she believed she was dying.
Mrs. Robey was taken into the house and place in a chair. Mr. Robey and son Donald came in a few minutes. The wife and mother was unable to speak to them but placing her hand in that of her husband as soon as he arrived, her head sank on his shoulder and she died instantly. The younger sons arrived a few minutes after their mother's death.
The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at the First Christian church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Claude J. Miller. The body will lie at the home, at 308 West Fourth street, from 10 to 12 o'clock Wednesday morning. Burial will take place in Miriam cemetery.
Mrs. Robey was born in Bloomfield, Davis county, Ia., November 1, 1866, making her 45 years and five days old at the time of her death. Her little son Paul celebrated his eighth birthday anniversary on her forty-fifth birthday. Mrs. Robey was the daughter of the late Dr. J. [ohn] M. Culverson of this city. The family came to Maryville thirty-three years ago. Her father's death occurred in 1891, in this city. Mayor and Mrs. Robey were married on March 21, 1886. The husband and five sons survive—Otho L. Robey of McAlester, Okla., who is at present visiting at his father's home with his wife and baby boy, Donald LaVerne; Donald L., Russell, Paul and LaVerne Robey. Also her mother, two sisters and a brother survive. The mother, Mrs. Martha Brockelman, lives at Meridan, Cal.; the sisters, Mrs. George Salisbury and Mrs. Walter Lindsay, live at Santa Rosa, Cal.; and Charles Culverson of Maryville. As Mrs. Brockelman has been at the bedside of her daughter, Mrs. Salisbury, for several weeks, it is not possible for the California relatives to come to Maryville for the funeral.
Mayor Robey received a telegram Tuesday from Mrs. Robey's uncle, Dr. F. P. Culverson of Greenfield, Ia., saying that his wife had died Monday evening as the result of a stroke of paralysis and that the funeral would be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, a half hour later than the time set for Mrs. Robey's funeral. The wife of Dr. Culverson was an aunt of Warren Jones of the Koch pharmacy. Mr. Jones will go to Greenfield Wednesday to attend the funeral.
Mrs. Robey was a member of the First Christian church of this city. She had been a member of that organization since a young girl. She was a devoted wife and mother and was one of the most conscientious Christians in our city. Her death is deeply mourned by many friends. The sympathy of all is extended to Mayor Robey and his children in their deep grief.

John Safely Dies of His Injuries
Young Man Is Victim of Peculiar Accident While Putting up Hay at Dodson's. Survives Only Few Days. Lower Limbs Paralyzed and Body Badly Mutilated in the Accident.
John Safely died Thursday of last week as a result of the injuries he received Monday forenoon while helping put up hay at the J. H. Dodson place. Funeral services were held Saturday and interment was at Hopkins.
The young man was 20 years of age and a son of W. [illiam] A. [nderson] Safely. He was well known in the community.
Safely was the victim of a peculiar accident. He was attempting to mount a load of hay and fell at the heels of one of the horses which kicked him. It is believed that the first time the horse kicked, Safely was rendered unconscious or at least helpless and finally the team started and drew the wagon over him. His spine was dislocated, and the lower limbs completely paralyzed.

Succumbs to Injuries.
As stated in these columns last week, John Safely met with a serious accident and since then he has died from the effects of it. It will be remembered that one day last week as he was hauling hay, he fell between the load of hay and the horses; the horses kicked him and tramped on his back and then started to run, when the rear wheel of the wagon passed over his back, completely paralyzing the lower half of his body. The scalp was also badly torn, and he was otherwise badly bruised and cut. After suffering for several days, it was beyond human endurance to stand more and at 1:45 Friday morning he passed away.
The deceased was born at Tipton, Iowa, September 26, 1891, and was twenty years and ten months old at the time of his death. He moved with his parents when a baby to Wisconsin and when three years of age he moved to Taylor county with them, and this has ever since been his home. He leaves to mourn his death his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. [illiam] A.[nderson] Safely and five brothers and one sister. They are M. [ervin] G. [ilbert], L. [ester] E. [arl], O.[liver] F. [remont] and Alfred C. [lifford], of this county and E. [lbert] L. [awrence] Safley of Coin, Iowa; the sister is Mrs. Annie Andrews of Hopkins, Mo.
The funeral services were held at Hopkins at the Church of Christ, conducted by Elder A. R. Brown and interment was in the Hopkins cemetery.
The deceased had many warm friends throughout the county and his demise will be learned with the deepest regret by all. The sorrowing parents and relatives have the deepest sympathy of the entire community.

From the marks on the child's head, it was evident that the child had been kicked by a mule colt that was in the pasture, that being the cause of his death. The young boy probably had been dead for an hour or more.
The parents became alarmed at supper time when the young child was not present, and a search was instituted at once by Mr. Spangler. He found the body in the pasture.
A coroner's inquest will probably be held by Coroner J. H. Todd, who went to Burlington Junction Tuesday. the funeral services will be held late this afternoon, probably at Workman's chapel.

William Wallace Found Dead.
Last Friday evening, February 8, William Wallace was found dead at his residence in this city. The facts in short seem to be these. Mr. Wallace lived alone. Friday morning, Bert Martin, colored, called at his place to do some chores, as he had been doing for some time. Mr. Wallace complained of not feeling very well and told Bert to come back that evening and feed his pigs, cut some wood, etc. Bert went back and seeing no stir about the home looked through the window and saw Mr. Wallace lying on the bed. Not answering when called, Bert called the attention of some others to the fact, who notified Policeman Romasser, who went to the house and went in and found Wallace dead. Squire Duffy held a coroner's inquest at which the above facts were testified to. Dr. Goodson also testified that Wallace was afflicted with strangulated hernia and had heart trouble and gave it as his opinion that his death resulted from these causes. Such was the verdict of the jury. Saturday, his sons, J.[ohn] E. [dward], C. W. and C. [hristopher] G. [rant] Wallace, from Tecumseh, Nebraska and his son in law, John Turner, arrived and took charge of the remains and on Sunday he was buried at Bass cemetery, Andrew county, by the side of his wife, who died several years ago. His sons and son in law paid all the costs of the inquest, $29.25 and bought a fine $85 coffin.
Mr. Wallace was born in county Antrim, Ireland, of Scotch parentage and was about 65 years of age. He came from Scotland to this country in 1849, first settling in Andrew county. In 1866 he moved to Nodaway county and settled on a farm west of Barnard, where he resided until the past few years, since which time he had lived in Maryville. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved children who mourn his loss.

Died From Burns

Mrs. James Wells, who was fatally burned Monday morning about 7 o'clock while starting the fire in the cook stove, died at the Wells home, six miles east of Hopkins Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. Mrs. Wells did not regain consciousness from the time of the injuries.
When getting ready to start the fire Mrs. Wells asked her little daughter to bring her some coal oil to assist in starting the fire. The little girl made a mistake in the cans and secured gasoline instead of coal oil. When the match was touched to the kindling the flames leaped over the walls of the kitchen and set the house on fire.
Mrs. Wells was standing by the stove and received the full force of the explosion. She was so badly burned that the physicians, Drs. Large and Kirk of Hopkins, gave no hope to the family for her recovery.
Mr. Wells and one of his sons and the little girl were burned some in putting out the fire, but they will soon recover.
The funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock at New Hope Baptist church.
Mrs. Wells maiden name was Bonnie Byrn. She was a native of this county and was 41 years old the 14th of April last.

A few days ago Mrs. James Wells, living in the vicinity of Allison, Mo., was starting a fire in her kitchen range and to expedite matters she sent her little daughter for coal oil. By mistake her daughter brought gasoline which, on being poured on the fire, flashed up scaring the little girl, who in the excitement, threw the remainder of the oil on her mother's clothing, which was immediately a mass of flames. Mr. Wells and son were in the house and made heroic efforts to extinguish the flames and finally succeeded, but not until she was burned so severely that she died the following day. Mrs. Wells was a most estimable lady, highly esteemed by the entire community. Her maiden name was Miss Fanny Burns and she was born and reared a short distance east of Allison.
