He represented the interests of the company there two years and was then transferred to San Francisco, Cal., where he served in a like capacity until October 1908 when he returned to Nodaway County.

Mrs. B. E. Drummins Dies on Husband's 88th Birthday—Married Nearly 67 Years
Mrs. Sarah Hurst Drummins died at the family home in Grant City early Saturday morning, January 1. Death was due to the grip and infirmities of old age and occurred on Mr. Drummins' eighty-eighth birthday. Both Mr. and Mrs. Drummins had been sick with the grip for several days, but Mr. Drummins is considerably improved now. For the benefit of Mr. Drummins, who was confined to bed, short funeral services were conducted at the home in Grant City by the Rev. Talmage D. Fry, of the Grant City Methodist Church at 12:30 p. m. Sunday; later a funeral sermon was preached by Mr. Fry at the Honey Grove Church northwest of Grant City, to which church Mr. and Mrs. Drummins had given so much material aid and assistance in former years. Interment was made in the Honey Grove cemetery, not far from the old homestead where Mrs. Drummins had spent so many years.
Miss Sarah Hurst was born in Pickaway County, Ohio, November 20, 1829 and died at her home in Grant City January 1, 1916. She was married to Benjamin E. Drummins March 15, 1849—nearly sixty-seven years ago. To this union were born nine children, two of whom have preceded their mother in death.

When they entered government land in Fletchall Township, neighbors within a distance of 3 or 4 miles did not number more than eight. The span of Mrs. Drummins' life in this section has covered practically every phase of development since the beginning of civilized things. She and Mr. Drummins have had a large part in the making of Worth County history; and they have lived through the years with unsullied reputations for honesty and for fidelity in all the public, social and religious obligations that surround a citizen. Through industry, frugality and integrity, Mr. and Mrs. Drummins acquired considerable property, a part of which has been divided among the children.
During the time when Mr. Drummins was serving his country as a member of Company E, 31st Mo. Infantry, Mrs. Drummins was faithful to her country by keeping the home and children together. She was of the brave stock that has made the United States what it is today, being a descendant of Captain Sly of Revolutionary time and of the Captain Sly of our own navy. Her father was a Virginian by birth who served in the war of 1812.
Mrs. Drummins united with the Methodist Church in early childhood and has always lived a consistent Christian, she and Mr. Drummins being members of the Grant City Methodist Church. While in the past few years they have not been permitted to attend church with much regularity, in former years they were very attentive to church matters.
Mrs. Sarah Hurst Drummins was one of Nature's noble women. She was a loving helpmate and companion of her husband for nearly sixty-seven years; she was a kind mother, a good neighbor and a cheerful friend. Peace to her ashes.

C. E. Dyche Is Found Burlington Junction Mystery Is Cleared Away
In the Nodaway River
The Body of the Wealthy Hotel Man Was Discovered—Foul Play Suspected.
Burlington Junction, Mo., April 14. – (Special to The Daily News)—The body of Edward Dyche, the missing proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, who mysteriously disappeared on the night of March 20, was found in the Nodaway River one mile northwest of town late last evening by John P. Gaddis, a young man recently from Savannah, who was at the time engaged in fishing.
He had gone down to the river to set out some throw lines and while working on a high bank noticed some object in a pool of eddy water just above where he was and after watching it for some time went nearer and discovered to his horror that it was the body of a man. He immediately gave the alarm and a large crowd soon gathered at the place. Esquire Bollinger took charge of the body and telegraphed the county coroner.
It was taken from the water and immediately identified as that of C. E. Dyche, the missing man. The body was dressed just as previously described, with only pants, undershirt and shoes. It is evident that the body was floating and that it had been at some point above the place where it was found. Great excitement prevails here, and the inquest today will be largely attended.
The theory that Dyche was demented and committed suicide appears to have the most credence, but many believe that there was foul play. The belief is strengthened by the fact that the right side of the face is blood shot, showing that it had been mashed before death. It is also stated that a small hole, resembling a bullet hole, is found under the left eye.
Some days ago Mrs. C. E. Dyche and others went before the probate court and had a judgment of insanity entered on the records and an administrator appointed, so that it might be learned in what condition the missing man had left his business affairs. It was learned that his financial matters are in good shape and that there was known reason for his going away.
The estate is valued at $10,000 to $12,000 and beside this Dyche carried life insurance to the amount of $7,000, all in good companies.
Charles E. Dyche was thirty-three years old. He was born at Siam, Iowa, and has always resided in this locality. His father, Albert Dyche, a well-known merchant, was killed by the kick of a horse. Edward has been engaged in the hotel business for a number of years and is well known to the traveling public. There was a reward of $100 offered for him, but the court had instructed that this could be increased at the option of administrator.

Dyche's Body Found. Fishermen Discover it Floating in the Nodaway River.
Burlington Junction, Mo., April 14. – (Special to The Herald) – Yesterday evening about 6 o'clock as some fishermen were setting their hooks in the Nodaway river, one and one-half miles northwest of this city, one of their number espied the body of a floater in the water. The information was immediately brought to town when a large crowd of people, accompanied by A. S. Bollinger, justice of the peace, hurried to the scene. The body proved to be that of C. E. Dyche, owner and proprietor of the Commercial hotel, who so mysteriously disappeared on the night of the 20th of March last.
Dyche had been for some time suffering from occasional mental troubles following some obscure disease of the brain and on the night mentioned went to his room about 10 o'clock and as is supposed went to bed. From that time to this nothing has been seen or heard of him although the woods and fields have been scoured by hundreds of people and the river dragged at various times.
His room indicated that he had gone away with only his pantaloons, undershirt and shoes on, his revolver and gold watch remaining under his pillow. Various theories were advanced as to the cause of his sudden and mysterious disappearance, but as his financial affairs were in good condition and his family relations pleasant, the only ration conclusion was that he had wandered away and chilled to death or had committed suicide.
His body is much bloated and disfigures but there was no trouble in identifying it. He was possessed of considerable property and money and his life was insured for $7,000 with policies paid up.

The engine was however too close upon the man to be stopped and he was struck and thrown from the track. His head was badly torn and his right hand broken. The body was taken on board and brought to Quitman where an inquest was held yesterday. The victim was John Owens, a wealthy farmer of Skidmore and an early settler of Nodaway county. He is supposed to have been drinking at the time of the accident.

It was a shock to the entire community, because even his own family thot from all appearances he was doing nicely the day before, as he was eating heartily and going about his room. The change for the worse came shortly before midnight, death following with the appearance of morning.
Mr. Peterson was born in Ohio on Feb. 15, 1859, emigrating to Iowa, then to Ravenwood and has been a citizen in our midst about 24 years. He has always been an active citizen and was a member of the I. O. O. F., Rebekah and M. W. A. lodges. He joined the Christian church early in life and has served as a member on the official board of the Ravenwood church for a number of years. A splendid brother, companion and friend has gone from among us and his place in our hearts can never be forgotten, for he was always kindly, friendly and lovable, always encouraging to the right.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and two children, one son and a daughter, Mrs. Hattie Peterson, who nursed him to the very last; his son, Chester, whose residence is in Columbus, Ohio, and daughter, Blanche, who was faithful and attentive to her father's desires. Also three living brothers, two sisters, his mother-in-law, four brothers-in-law, and a host of friends. We shall greatly miss him; he so loved his church, desired to serve his community, and one with his standing means a great loss to a community.

Motorist Dies in Blazing Car
Trapped in a blazing car after it swerved from the Earp-Parker dam highway and crashed to the bottom of a ravine, Myron A. Pettit, construction worker at the dam, was burned to death, Coroner R. E. Williams said yesterday.
Pettit was en route to Parker dam from his home in Earp when a tire blew out, throwing the car into the ravine.
His body was discovered in the smouldering wreckage by Ralph Stringfellow, special agent for the Los Angeles Bureau of Light & Power. Mr. Stringfellow said the accident occurred approximately three hours before he found the wreck.
Deputy Sheriff Hal Oxnevad of Vidal who investigated the accident, said Pettit's car apparently started to swerve from the highway when the driver suddenly pulled the car back into the middle of the highway. Marks indicated that a tire burst, throwing the machine off the road, the officer said.
The car overturned and rolled 20 feet to the bottom of a ravine.
Pettit was a steel worker employed on construction of a powerhouse at Parker dam. He is survived by his widow, who lives at Earp.
His body was removed to Dixon's mortuary in Needles.

Blockton News (Blockton, Iowa), Thursday, June 4, 1925
W. H. Ralston was born in Johnson county, Indiana, March 2, 1856. He came to Missouri in 1883, settling in Gentry county. In 1886 he moved to Nodaway county and became a resident of Ravenwood about 17 years ago.
He was married to Mollie A. Stuart Sept. 23, 1875. To them were born four children, one of whom, Mrs. Ina Patterson, died in 1911. Mrs. Ralston died in 1920. The survivors are Henry Ralston, who lives in the west; Mrs. Wavie Johnston of Blockton; Sie Ralston of Ravenwood and one brother, Marsh Ralston, of Edinburg, Indiana. There are also thirteen living grandchildren and one great grandchild besides a large number of friends who will greatly miss him as a citizen.
His death occurred at the St. Francis hospital in Maryville on May 21, 1925 at the age of 69 years, 2 months and 19 days. But little more than a week was he considered seriously ill. He suffered much during this time and perhaps previously but did not make it known to others.
Mr. Ralston belonged to no lodges. He united with the Presbyterian Church years ago. As a young man, he served an apprenticeship and became an expert spectacle maker, in which he was engaged for a number of years. In 1880 he learned harness and shoe making, which business he followed to the close of his life.
H. O. Mumma, E. K. Wilson, R. O. Ford and G. C. Dennis, of Blockton, rendered softly three beautiful selections—"Sometime, Somewhere," "Rock of Ages" and "Nearer My God To Thee"—at the funeral services which were conducted at the Methodist church by the pastor, Rev. O. L. Uht, Sunday, and burial was in Oak Lawn cemetery.

Missoula, Aug. 28 – Mrs. Harriet M. Randall, aged 77 years, died yesterday of cancer at Plains. Mrs. Randall was the mother of [Mrs.] John Monahan of Plains and moved to that place about three months ago for the benefit of her health. The body was shipped to St. Joseph, Mo., this evening and was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Monahan.

Death of Mrs. Randall
Mrs. Harriet M. Randall died at the ranch home of her son-in-law, J. [ohn] H. Monaghan, Aug. 27, at 10:45 o'clock. The remains were taken to her old home in Hopkins, Mo., where they will be laid beside her husband who died a few years ago.
It is rather a sad affair as Mr. and Mrs. Monaghan came to Plains only a few months ago thinking that the climate might improve their mother's health. Mr. Monaghan purchased the ranch adjoining that of Jim Willis.
The deceased was 77 years of age and since 1902 had been a sufferer as the result of a paralytic stroke. Mrs. John Monaghan is the only surviving child. The body was prepared for shipment by Undertaker Lucy of Missoula. Mr. Monaghan accompanied the body.

Spokane, Wash., Aug. 30 – Two months ago Mrs. Randall, aged seventy-seven, came to Plains, Mont., with her daughter, Mrs. John Monaghan, from Hopkins, Mo. Today her body is in transit to the Old Missouri home, the woman being the victim of a terrible fatality. She was milking cows on the Monaghan homestead and opened a corral gate to let a cow out. Immediately half dozen wild cows rushed to the gate. Mrs. Randall was knocked down and the stampeding bovines rushed over her prostrate body, trampling it almost into the earth, lacerating her face and crushing her ribs. Death followed soon after. The body is being taken to Hopkins by John Monaghan.

[STUCKLE, JOSEPH, 1833 – 1917]
Catholic Tribune (St. Joseph, Missouri), Saturday, September 1, 1917
Conception, Mo. – A splendid type of the Catholic layman was the late Joseph Stuckle whose death occurred at St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Joseph, Mo., Tuesday, August 21, the funeral being held the following Friday morning from St. Joseph's Cathedral, of which parish the deceased had been a member since removing to that city from Conception about nine years ago. Rev. C. F. Buddy, who had attended the deceased in his last illness, was celebrant of the Requiem High Mass, which was chanted at 9:30 o'clock and in the sermon which he delivered after Mass paid a beautiful tribute to the sterling character of Mr. Stuckle, whom he said was a devout member of the Holy Name Society and had the edifying practice of receiving Holy Communion every Sunday. Father Buddy's tribute to the dead brought great consolation to the mourners.
Mr. Stuckle who was born in Semrick, Austria, March 15, 1833, came to this country in 1857, locating in Chicago. On March 13, 1865, in Peoria, Ill., he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Huber. Returning to Chicago with his bride, Mr. Stuckle subsequently took up his residence in Lincoln, Ill., where he continued to live until 1871, when he moved his family to Independence, Kans. Engaging in mercantile pursuits, Mr. Stuckle became a very successful business man, but in 1890, becoming interested in the prospects of Nodaway County, Mo., he engaged in farming near Conception Junction, in which avocation he was likewise prosperous. At length he retired from the farm and in 1908 with his wife and one of his daughters, moved to St. Joseph, in which city he continued to reside up to his death. Previous to a few years ago, when he began to feel the weight of years, Mr. Stuckle had enjoyed excellent health. Since the death of his son, Dr. William Stuckle, which occurred in August, 1916, he had frequently been confined to his home and a few days before his death was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital where he was operated upon with the hope of prolonging his life, but no relief was obtained and he sank rapidly. . .
The remains were forwarded to Conception for interment. Upon their arrival there, they were met by a large concourse of friends and former neighbors and conveyed to St. Columba's cemetery for interment, services at the grave being conducted by Rev. Father Placidus, O. S. B., his former pastor.
Besides his widow, Mr. Stuckle leaves to mourn his loss two sons, Joseph, of Conception Junction and Charles of Liberty, Kans., and three daughters, Mrs. E. C. Strop, of Mount Ayr, Iowa; Mrs. John Reidlinger of Redding, Ia., and Miss Minnie Stuckle, who lived with her parents in St. Joseph. He is also survived by one brother, Stephen Stuckle, of Lincoln, Ill., and by two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Gorshe, of Clyde, Mo., and Mrs. Mary Jermain, of Conception, Mo.
The Stuckle family is widely known in Nodaway County and vicinity and is highly esteemed.

Catholic Tribune (St. Joseph, Missouri), Saturday, January 31, 1920
The remains of Miss Minnie Stuckle, who died in Kansas City last Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock were brought to Conception last Monday afternoon and interred in the cemetery there. Miss Stuckle was widely known in Conception and vicinity, being the daughter of the late Joseph Stuckle. She was born in Independence, Kans. but in early childhood, with her parents, came to Conception. About twelve years ago her parents removed to St. Joseph, where they resided up to the time of Mr. Stuckle's death, which occurred about two years ago. Shortly after his death, the widow and daughter went to live in Kansas City. Last October, Miss Stuckle was taken ill with bronchial disease, which last week developed into lung trouble, which ultimately caused her death. Frequently during her last illness, she was consoled by the spiritual ministration of Rev. T. A. O'Malley, S. J., pastor of the St. Aloysius Church, Kansas City, where the funeral services were held Monday morning. Father O'Malley paid a beautiful tribute to the character of Miss Stuckle, whose virtuous life made her loved and admired by all who knew her. She seemed to feel that her mission in life was to be one of service to others and whether it was in fulfilling her duties in the home circle or helping some friend who claimed her attention in the hour of need, she bravely and cheerfully gave the best that she had to offer. Faith animated her whole life and hope and charity seemed ever to find a dwelling in her heart. Of such lives as hers, it may well be said that, like the fragrant white rose, though it be plucked from the parent stem, its sweetness will remain long after, shedding its influence and proving a comfort to those who mourn her loss. Besides her mother, Miss Stuckle is survived by two sisters, Mrs. John Reidlinger of Redding, Ia. and Mrs. Kate Reeves of St. Joseph; and by two brothers, Joseph Stuckle of Conception and Charles Stuckle of Liberty, Kans. Dr. William Stuckle, who died three years ago, was also a brother. At the funeral services held at Conception, Rev. Father Placid, O. S. B., officiated. A large number attended the obsequies, including friends from a distance.

B., sub-deacon, and Rev. Father Leodegar, O. S. B., master of ceremonies. After Mass, Father Joachim preached a beautiful sermon on death and the teaching of the Church concerning the same. He paid an eloquent and touching tribute to the character of Dr. Stuckle, who used his profession to do good to his fellow man. . . .
The congregation present was a very large one and included Catholics and non-Catholics from St. Joseph, Clyde, Stanberry, Maryville, Conception and other points nearby. The interment took place in the Catholic cemetery at Conception, the services being conducted by Father Joachim, who was assisted by two clerics, Fraters Richard Felix, a nephew of the deceased and Cyril Buettner, O. S. B.
The cemetery is but a short distance from the church and the mourners, relatives and friends walked in procession, which was also participated in by college students, their professors, the children of St. James Industrial School and the Sisters in charge, for Dr. Stuckle was a friend and benefactor to all, the little children as well as adults, the poor and the rich. The grave was banked in beautiful flowers, the tributes of friends from far and near.
Dr. Stuckle was born in Lincoln, Ill., forty-five years ago. With his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stuckle, he came to Missouri twenty-five years ago. He was a graduate of the old Central and Northwestern Missouri Medical College, St. Joseph. Receiving his degrees in 1896, he immediately began the practice of medicine in Conception. Fifteen years ago, he was married to Miss Rose Felix, a well-known member of the parish of the Immaculate Conception, this place. He was taken ill about three weeks ago with appendicitis and was sent to St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Joseph, where an operation was performed upon him, but too late to be of avail. His death was a beautiful, edifying one and occurred Thursday, August 31, at 7:45 o'clock. The remains were forwarded to Conception the day following.
Besides his widow, Dr. Stuckle is survived by his parents, who reside at St. Joseph; also, by three sisters and two brothers.

--Big Lake claimed its first victim for 1916 Tuesday afternoon, when Ronald Tibbels, the 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. [lphonso] M. Tibbels of Mound City, was drowned while bathing.

[TIBBELS, RONALD ARON]
Holt County Sentinel (Oregon, Missouri), Friday, June 2, 1916
Drowned in Big Lake.
Indeed our deepest sympathy goes out to Mr. and Mrs. A. [lphonso] M. Tibbels of Mound City, over the sad and sudden passing away of their beloved 16-year-old son, Ronald, which occurred at the Big Lake, about 3:30 p. m., on Tuesday, May 30, 1916.
Young Ronald and a companion, Earl Dearmont, about the same age, a son of Attorney J. B. Dearmont, went over from their homes in Mound City, on their wheels to Big Lake, for a little outing and they both went in bathing. Neither could swim, but they used water wings and with the aid of these, he crossed the lake but young Dearmont would not venture out in the deep water. Ronald had made good progress and when about one third across on his return trip, the wings broke and he was helpless, and soon sank. His companion heard his cries for help and notified others and John Iden hurried in a boat to the place where Ronald went down but did not reach him in time to be of any help. Every effort was promptly made by Mr. Iden and others and after the third set in dragging the lake, the body was recovered in about an hour and fifteen minutes, some 75 yards from the west shore.
After recovery of the body, Dr. Fortescue, Lang, of Falls City, Neb.; Dr. Morgan, of Graham, Mo., Dr. Perry of Mound City and Dr. Lafe Minton rendered every aid possible in the hope of resuscitating the body, but to no avail.
The body was taken to Mound City and the funeral services were held Thursday morning, June 1.
The young man was most promising, a dutiful son, a good student, and to thus be taken in the very heyday of a most beautiful life, is a shock that is hard to bear by his parents and sisters, and a shock most keenly felt by friends, who keenly sympathize with them.

Miss Helen Hunt of 2613 Jule street, St. Joseph, a cousin, was in the car with him and was thrown clear of the wreckage and escaped serious injury.
On Way to Fair.
Wright and Miss Hunt were on their way to Nodaway County fair here when the accident occurred. According to Miss Hunt, Wright had tried to steer into a better place in the road when the machine swung halfway around and then turned over, pinning Wright beneath the steering wheel. Dr. A. C. Nye of Parnell, Mo., was in his automobile just behind the wrecked car and extricated Wright from the wreckage and took him to the residence of Frank W. Armstrong, nearby. Dr. William Wallace of Maryville, coroner of Nodaway County, was summoned to assist Doctor Nye in giving medical attention to Wright who was suffering from a broken left arm and internal injuries. Later the injured man was removed to a hospital here. He failed to recover consciousness and death occurred shortly after he had arrived at the hospital.
The body was taken to Grant City this morning in an automobile hearse.

When his car turned turtle on the road east of Maryville last Saturday, B. [irdsey] G.[ideon] Wright of Grant City, treasurer of Worth county, Mo., received injuries from which he died in a Maryville hospital a few hours later.
Mr. Wright was on his way to the fair at Maryville, accompanied by his cousin, Miss Helen Hunt of St. Joseph and according to Miss Hunt's version of the accident he tried to turn his car into a better track when the car whirled suddenly, turning over and pinioning Mr. Wright to the ground under the steering wheel.
Dr. A. C. Nye of Parnell was close behind the Wright car and assisted in getting the injured man out and he was taken to a nearby farm house and Dr. Wallace of Maryville summoned by phone to assist Dr. Nye.
Mr. Wright had a broken arm and internal injuries, which a cursory examination by the physicians showed were very serious. He was taken to the hospital at Maryville in a car but died shortly after arriving there without regaining consciousness.

Killed in Auto Accident
County Treasurer B. G. Wright Victim Near Maryville Friday.
County Treasurer, B. G. Wright, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. W. [illiam] H.[oward] Wright of Grant City, died at the St. Francis hospital in Maryville at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon from injuries received about 11 o'clock that morning when the Ford runabout he was driving turned turtle and he was pinned under the machine.
In company with his cousin, Miss Helen Hunt of St. Joseph, who with her mother had been visiting at the Wright home in Grant City for several days, Mr. Wright was on his way from Grant City to Maryville to attend the Maryville fair. The accident happened at a point about five miles east of Maryville.
No one knows exactly how the accident happened because those things that are both sudden and unexpected come and go without minute observation. Mr. Wright was known as one of the most careful drivers around Grant City. The roads at the point where the accident occurred were unusually good and along with a string of several cars going the same direction, the Wright car was going at a fair rate of speed. From the majority of the stories told it is evident that the car struck a slight obstruction and turned turtle. The car was found with the four wheels in the air and Mr. Wright was pinned under the rear part of the car. His left hip was crushed, pelvis fractured, left arm broken and he suffered internal injuries besides cuts and bruises on different parts of the body. Miss Hunt was thrown several feet through the air and clear of the car. She suffered some minor injuries and bruises and a very severe shock, the effect of which may be felt for a long time.
Mr. and Mrs. Newt Wilson of west of Grant City were over the hill to the rear of the Wright car when the accident happened and while not the first to arrive at the scene of the accident were the first to positively identify the victims. Mr. Wright was immediately taken to the St. Francis hospital where he subsequently died and Miss Hunt was brought to Grant City. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wright were immediately notified of the accident and were rushed to Maryville where they saw their son before death came.
The remains of Mr. Wright were brought across the country from Maryville Saturday in Price & McNeal's new automobile hearse; it is worthy of note that the new hearse had only arrived in Maryville the Wednesday before the accident; the only time it had been used prior to Saturday was at the funeral of former Senator M. G. Moran who was buried in Nodaway County last week.
The funeral services were conducted at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Grant City Methodist Church by the Rev. Talmage D. Fry, assisted by Dr. J. E. White of the Christian Church. the funeral was one of the most largely attended ever held in Grant City, scarcely more than one third of those in attendance being able to get in the church. As the evening sun went down in the west at the close a bright and glorious September day the mortal remains of B. G. Wright were lowered into the grassy house in the Grant City cemetery at the close of a life that had been optimistically hopeful and persistently cheerful. Knights of Pythias ceremonies were conducted at the grave where many beautiful floral offerings attested the respect in which he was held.
Birdsey G. [ideon] Wright was born near Grant City December 2, 1882, and died at the St. Francis hospital, Maryville, September 3, 1915. He was reared to manhood near and in Grant City with the exception of two years spent with his parents in De Calo, Ill. He was educated in the Grant City schools and the Maryville Business College. He had been very ill at times in recent years from the last of which he had never fully recovered.
