He was a noble man in every particular and one that did much good in the world. Since the death of his wife, his love of life ceased to a great extent and he looked joyfully to the bright beyond, where he could again meet his loved companion.

The Way of Earth. Death of Mr. Allen Campbell, Father of Dr. S. V. Campbell.
When the aged are seized with illness death is generally anticipated. In this case there had been a gradual declining for some months past and his demise was more the result of the giving away of his physical powers than of any particular disease. Had he lived until next January he would have arrived at the ripe old age of seventy-four years. He was born on the 31st of January, 1808, in Woodford county, Kentucky, eight miles from Frankfort. He married Emily Vawter in Vernon, county seat of Jennings county, Indiana, on the 6th day of August 1829, in which county and vicinity he resided until in October, 1880, when he came to Maryville and has since resided with his son, Dr. S. [mith] V. [awter] Campbell. His wife died July 8, 1878. They had four children—three sons and one daughter. Mary died when young. In the death of his wife he so deeply felt the loss of a beloved companion that since that time he has patiently waited the summons to rejoin her in the land where none but the good and the pure in heart dwell. For some time past he was conscious that his stay on earth was short and never was he heard to express any regrets in consequence of the fact. Having lived a long and useful life he felt his mission here below was ended. Having finished his course, he was prepared for the applaudit, "Well and faithfully done." To thus close this earthly life is worth all the world beside. It leaves behind sweet memories that will be on perpetual record in the hearts of loved ones. His death occurred at twenty minutes past three o'clock last Sunday morning, the 15th instant. His mind was clear and rational to the last. The Doctor's two brothers, S. [olon] B. Campbell who lives at Penora, Iowa, and J. D. Campbell who lives at Vernon, Indiana, arrived last week, in response to telegrams from the Doctor and thus were all the surviving children, three sons, present at his death.
Funeral services were held at the Doctor's residence at six o'clock Sunday evening. Rev. Parker of the Methodist church offered a fervent prayer and appropriate remarks were made by Rev. Davis of the Christian church. Mr. Campbell had been a member of the Christian church for forty years.
His remains were taken to Vernon, Indiana, his old home, on the 8:10 Wabash Sunday evening train and interred, being accompanied by Dr. and Mrs. Campbell and the Doctor's two brothers.

Death Takes Dr. S. V. Campbell.
Dr. Smith Vawter Campbell, for a number of years one of the prominent figures and well-known physicians of Northwest Missouri, died at his home in North Maryville at 3:30 o'clock Saturday morning.
His death resulted from paralysis. Seven weeks ago on January 11th, he was stricken and since that time had gradually grown weaker until the hour of his death.
Dr. Campbell was born on a farm near Vernon, Jennings county, Indiana, August 26, 1832.
After graduating in medicine from Ann Arbor University he was married to Miss Carrie Davis of Lebanon, Indiana, February 20, 1854. The young doctor and his bride resided at Lebanon for a short time, after which they moved west to Des Moines, Iowa. At the outbreak of the civil war Dr. Campbell enlisted as assistant surgeon in the 23d Iowa Volunteer Infantry, in which capacity he gave four and one-half years of faithful and honorable service to his country.
The war over he located in Adel, Iowa, where he again took up the practice of his profession. In the year '78 he moved with his family from Adel to Maryville. Here he at once established himself as an able and popular physician.
Since the death of Mrs. Campbell—to whom he was ever the devoted lover—which  occurred in '96, the doctor has taken less and less interest in life and devoted less and less time to his profession, his concluding years being mostly spent in well earned retirement from active business.
To Mr. and Mrs. Campbell six children were born, four of whom are living, John S. Campbell of Kansas City, Mrs. Ed Wolfert and Mrs. George B. Baker of Maryville and James Burt Campbell of Washington. Dr. Campbell was a Mason and a member of the G. A. R.
Funeral services were held at the Campbell home on North Main street Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Lytle officiating. The remains laid in state from 10 a. m. to 12 m. Sunday.
[Note: The death date on her headstone is July 2, 1895.]

Dr. S. V. Campbell Dead.
Died at his home in North Maryville at 3:30 a. m., Saturday, March 1, 1902, of paresis, Dr. S. V. Campbell, aged 69 years, 6 months and 5 days.
Smith Vawter Campbell was born on a farm at Vernon, Jennings county, Indiana, August 26, 1832 and grew to manhood in his native county. He attended school at Ann Arbor, Michigan, graduating in medicine there early in the fifties and settled for the practice of his profession at Lebanon in his native state.
Here he was united in marriage on February 20, 1854, to Miss Carrie Davis. To them were given six children, William, who died in Maryville a few years ago, Matie, who died young, John, a resident of Kansas City, Emma, now Mrs. E. F. Wolfert of Maryville, Bert, a resident of the state of Washington and Scott, wife of George B. Baker of Maryville. Mrs. Campbell died in Maryville in 1896].
Not long after their marriage Dr. Campbell and family moved to Des Moines, Iowa, where he entered into active practice. When the war broke out, his patriotism would not allow him to falter, and he offered his services to the nation. He was commissioned assistant surgeon of the 23d Iowa Infantry and did valiant service for his country for a period of four years and six months.
After the war closed Dr. Campbell moved to Adel, Iowa, and practiced his profession there until 1878, when he removed to Maryville, which had since been his home. He was widely and favorably known as a physician and surgeon, and most of our readers know him better than we can tell.
Dr. Campbell was always an ardent Republican, ever ready with means and advice for the furtherance of honest Republican principles. He made an effort to obtain the Republican nomination for Congress in 1895, more as a protest against the "ring" candidate than because he desired it, but was beaten, in which conclusion he good naturedly acquiesced.
He was a Master Mason and a member of the G. A. R. and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Since the death of his wife in 1896 he had gradually withdrawn from business and led more of a home life.
He was stricken with paralysis on Saturday, January 11, hence was confined to his house exactly seven weeks before his death. Dr. C. D. Koch was his faithful physician during his entire sickness.
Funeral services were held at the home at 2 o'clock p. m., Sunday, conducted by Rev. E. B. Lytle, after which remains were laid to rest in Miriam cemetery by the side of his wife who preceded him.
The familiar appearance of Dr. Campbell on our streets will be sadly missed and the only consolation we have is that it is the lot of all mankind. The tender sympathies of all are with the afflicted family.

--Will Campbell, eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. S. V. Campbell, died at the residence of his parents in Maryville at 9 o'clock p. m., Friday, June 26, 1691 [1891], of diabetes, aged 34 years. he came home from Washington only a few weeks ago and although sadly reduced, was able to be around until the day before his death. His funeral services were held at the residence Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. D. M.

[CAMPBELL, WILLIAM A. "WILL"]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 9, 1891
William A. Campbell – William A. Campbell was born in Des Moines, Iowa, December 19, 1857, and died in Maryville, Mo., June 26, 1891. His boyhood years were spent in attending school. After receiving a good graded school education, he learned the drug trade. He then attended Cornell College at Mt. Vernon, Iowa, for two years, after which he took charge of a drug business at Atlantic, Iowa. He was after that appointed clerk in the United States land office, where he served for four years, which place he resigned after the election of Mr. Cleveland. He then went to southwest Kansas where he took a homestead. After proving up on this he came home to Maryville. While here he engaged for a short time in business with Will Toel, but this business interest he soon sold and was appointed chief clerk in the U. S. land office at Seattle, Washington Territory. Those who did business with him say he was an expert in public lands. While in this office he transferred thousands of acres of land and handled millions of dollars of money for the department with great credit to himself, honor to his friends and satisfaction to the general government.
Will was converted and joined the M. E. church at the age of twenty, under the ministry of Dr. M. K. Stuart, now pastor of Broadway M. E. church, Council Bluffs, Iowa. Like many other young men he wandered away but joined the church again under the ministry of Rev. J. H. Cox, Feb. 5, 1889, just a short time before he left for the Pacific coast. With the rest of humanity, he had his faults, nor was he without his weaknesses, yet he combined those noble qualities which make up the character that is a strong friend, a lover of the noble and a hater of that which is small or mean. He was a great lover of home and always called the home of his father and mother his "home." He was ever thoughtful of the comfort and pleasure of his mother and sisters, and nothing gave him more pleasure than to add to their comfort and happiness. Even to the very last hour of life he persisted in caring for himself, rather than give them any extra labor or anxiety. During his sickness while yet on the Pacific coast, he longed to get home, for he said, "there is no one who can care for me like mother and if there is anybody can pull me through father can." He was a great sufferer, yet he patiently bore it and sought to hide his sufferings from his friends, but it was only too evident to all that he had only a short time to live. Tender hands did all that could be done, loving hearts devised many comforts and breathed words of prayer and sympathy but all in vain. On the evening of June 26, just after the sun had sunk in the west and the evening shades were stealing over the earth, he breathed his last. On the Monday morning after we laid him to rest in the beautiful resting place of the silent sleepers who have ceased to live, to await the time 'When all that are in their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God and shall come forth," when friend, lover, brother, sister, parent and son shall under circumstances of glory and honor, be united never to part more if we have believed in and been obedient to the commandments of Him who said, "I am the Resurrection and the Life."

Seek For Will of Carr
Believed Wealthy Farmer Who Died Suddenly February 5th May Have Executed Instrument.
His Fortune a Large One. Widow and Four Children, All of Whom Are Well Off, Will Divide Rich Estate of Dead Man.
Although diligent search has been made for a will of the late Charles Carr, who died suddenly in Lincoln, Neb., February 5th, while visiting relatives, no such document has as yet been discovered.
Charles E. [dward] Carr was one of Nodaway county's wealthiest farmers. It is not yet known how much his estate will be worth, but the value of all the property left by the dead man is thought to be between $200,000 and $300, 000.
The estate comprised 858 acres of farm lands near Arkoe, together with a large amount of personal property, including money, mortgages and bank stock. Shinabargar & Blagg, who were the attorneys of Carr during his lifetime, are now engaged in scheduling the property values.
It is they who have been directing the search for a will, which it is thought Carr may have executed and left among his private paper without ever having mentioned the fact of the instrument's existence to any of his relatives or acquaintances.
Five Heirs Survive.
Besides his wife, the dead man left three sons and one daughter and these five heirs will divide the large fortune. All are well off now, Mrs. Carr having a fortune in her own right estimated at nearly $100,000. The greater part of this is cash.
The children of the couple are Fred Carr, Charles C. [layton] Carr, Albert Carr and Mrs. Emma Whitenack. The three brothers live near Arkoe, while the daughter is a resident of Lincoln, Neb. It was while Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Carr were visiting this daughter and just after the aged couple had decided to build themselves a home in Lincoln, that Carr became suddenly ill and died.
Another member of the household, a son of Mrs. Carr by a former marriage, disappeared a number of years ago and his whereabouts are unknown. It was thought by the family that the young man had decided to go out into the world and care for himself. No word has ever been received by them from the missing one, however.
Widow Gets a Third.
In the division of the estate left by the dead man the widow will, if no disposal of the property has been made by her husband, received a third and the remainder will be bestowed upon the four living children.
It is expected that the settling of the affairs of the estate will require much time, owing to the extent of the dead man's possessions and the suddenness of his death, which left many of his business matters in an incomplete condition.

Mr. Carr and his son John had been working in the barn when he sent the boy to the house to get a certain tool he wanted. While on his way to the house Johnny fell on the ground, screaming aloud. Drs. Nash & Dean were summoned at once, but he was beyond the aid of medical skill and died from congestion of the brain in about four hours after being taken sick. John was a bright and promising boy, and his sudden death is a sad blow to his devoted father. The funeral took place the following Friday.

Dead Woman Was Rich
Mrs. Charles E. Carr Who Died April 16th, Had Fortune in Her Own Right.
Four Children Get Estate. When Husband Died Two Months Ago She Relinquished Dower Right to Share of His Wealth.
One of Nodaway county's richest women passed away in the death in Lincoln, Neb., April 16th of Mrs. Charles E. [dward] Carr, who for thirty-two years resided on a farm near Maryville.
Mrs. Carr's body arrived in Maryville Wednesday night in order that burial might take place Friday in Miriam cemetery where the dead woman's husband was laid to rest two months ago. His death also occurred at Lincoln and, like the passing away of Mrs. Carr, was sudden.
The aged wife had been ill only two weeks prior to her death, although she had been in poor health for a year. It was this latter fact which had led to the removal of the couple from their farm six miles southeast of Maryville to Lincoln, where a daughter, Mrs. John Whitnack, lives. Mr. and Mrs. Carr had decided to make that city their home and at the time of Mr. Carr's death were planning to build a residence there.
Both Were Wealthy.
Both the husband and wife were wealthy in their own right. At the time of the man's death his estate consisted of nearly 1,000 acres of Nodaway county land, together with much personal property, while Mrs. Carr had about $50,000 of her own money.
The widow relinquished her dower right in her husband's estate at his death to their children, of whom there are four. Her own estate will now go to these children. They are Charles C. Carr and Albert Carr of Maryville, Fred Carr of Hayes Center, Neb.; and Mrs. John Whitnack of Lincoln.
In addition to these members of the family who came to Maryville Thursday to be present at the funeral of Mrs. Carr, her two nephews, Charles Holbrook of Oil City, Pa. and Wales Smith of New York, arrived in the city Thursday forenoon.

LAMAR STATION – The death angel has been again in our midst, transplanting wearied souls from suffering bodies to that land of love and light where pain and death are felt and feared no more. On the morning of the tenth inst., just as the day began to dawn and the little birds wake up to their morning songs, the leaves of the trees and buds of flowers to unfold to the brightness of another day, the pure spirit of Mrs. George Crowdis passed over the river of death and began a new life on the banks of the river that flows from the throne of God and under that tree whose leaves are for the healing of all nations. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother and a good neighbor. Her maiden name was Ann Bailey. She was born in Tennessee but when a little child her parents and grandparents moved to this part of Nodaway county. Here she grew to womanhood and was married to Geo. Crowdis over sixteen years ago. She died in the thirty-fourth year of her age. She leaves a husband and five children, three daughters and two sons; one little son preceded her to the grave five years ago. She was converted on her death bed while Rev. Cooper of the Baptist church was at prayer. She praised God aloud and from that time until her death, nearly a week, though her sufferings were intense, she never doubted her Saviour's pardoning love. She was perfectly in her right mind until the last and when she could no longer speak she motioned with her hand for husband and children, kissed them and bade them all a final farewell, kissed her uncle, E. M. Bailey and stroked his beard and face—all her life he had been so kind to her and was untiring in his kindness while on her death bed. Her funeral sermon was preached on the eleventh inst. by Rev. Cooper in a beautiful grove belonging to Wm. Lamme, then her remains were taken to Lamar Station cemetery, followed by many weeping relatives and sympathizing friends, where the beautiful funeral services were closed and all that was mortal of Mrs. Crowdis laid to rest where she sleeps until our loving Lord shall come in the clouds, in like manner as his disciples saw Him go up; then His loved ones will hear His voice in the grave and come out to meet Him in the sky. Mrs. Crowdis also leaves one brother, John Bailey, living near Bethel church, and one sister, Mrs. Cass Mains, living near Dawson. Her father, Frank Bailey, stepmother and a numerous family of half brothers and sisters are in Southern Kansas. One aunt, Mrs. Nancy Sexton, who was devoted to her niece through her entire sickness and death lives near and is a member of Bethel Baptist church and last, but not least, the loving grandmother, Mrs. Parton, who was so recently bereaved of her aged husband, had charge of Mrs. Crowdis the most of her childhood and was in attendance at her death bed and funeral weepingly said, all her family was going on before to the heavenly land. Mr. and Mrs. Parton lived together fifty-eight years. He dropped the curtain of life in April last. He was a member of the Baptist church and a good man.

In 1870 he married Susan Sewell, and the same year Mr. and Mrs. Croy moved to a farm west of Maryville where they spent the years until Mrs. Croy's death.
Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Croy, two of whom died during childhood. The two boys, Homer Croy of New York, a noted humorist and writer and Byron Croy of Rock Point, Wyo., a prominent sheep owner, survive.

Death of Mrs. A. J. Croy.
Died at her home, northwest of Maryville, after a long illness, at 5 o'clock Sunday night, May 6, 1906, Mrs. Amos J. Croy, aged 61 years, 9 months and 1 day.
Susan Sewell was born in Athens county, Ohio, August 5, 1844. Her father died while she was small, so that she scarcely remembered him, while her mother died when she was but 10 years old. Thrown thus on her own resources largely, the girl educated herself as a teacher and followed that profession in Ohio and in Missouri until her marriage.
In March 1866 Miss Sewell moved from her native state to Nodaway county, Missouri and made her home with her brother, W. [illiam] A. [lexander] Sewell, who had come west the year before and lived near Graham. She taught school several terms in that vicinity.
She was married to Amos J. [oy] Croy on July 10, 1870. They lived awhile in Hughes township, but most of their life had been spent in the neighborhood in which she died. To this union were given four children, two girls, Alice who died at the age of 10 years and Blanche who died in infancy, and two boys, Byron and Homer, both of whom survive to mourn with their father. Byron is at home while Homer is attending the State University at Columbia.
Mrs. Croy became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in Ohio and was ever a consistent Christian, her daily life exemplifying all its teachings. She was a kind neighbor and greatly beloved by all her acquaintance as was shown by the large concourse at her funeral.
She was always delicate in health, and for several years had been a constant but patient sufferer. Her last illness lasted from December 1905 to the time of her death.
The funeral services were held Tuesday, May 8, at Wesley Chapel, southwest of Maryville, conducted by Rev. W. F. Wiley, pastor of that charge, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Cain Cemetery.
A loving wife and mother, a kind neighbor and faithful friend, has departed, and we mourn our loss, but she is at rest and in that must lie our consolation.

Death of Miss Emma Carpenter.
It is with feelings of [words missing] record the death of [Emma Carpenter], daughter of D. and A. Carpenter who was so suddenly called away on the 14th inst. her affliction was of a short duration. Though her sufferings were intense, she bore all patiently and without a murmur, seeming to fully realize that her sufferings would soon be over. After taking an affectionate leave of the family and friends present and requesting us to bid all of her schoolmates goodbye and tell them to meet her in Heaven, she met death calmly, falling asleep in the arms of her Redeemer. The funeral services were conducted in a most appropriate and impressive manner by Elder Cook at the M. E. Church in Quitman, Saturday, 15th at 1 o'clock P. M. Frp whence the body was conveyed to its last resting place, followed by a large concourse of weeping friends and relatives. Emma though young in years, not having attained her fifteenth year, had by her kind and cheerful disposition gained the affection of many a fond heart. Her smiles was the light of the household as well as of the social circle in which she moved. She was an energetic student, full of vigor and hope, being fully determined to complete her education and make herself useful as a teacher. In her centered the hopes of a fond father and loving mother. but alas, how perishable are human pursuits and human hopes. Only three days after reciting with her classes in the school room her spirit took its flight to the God who gave it. Her place in the family circle and in the school room can never be filled. The bereft family have the heart felt sympathies of all in this sad hour. May they together with the loved ones gone before be so unspeakably happy as to be clothed with the garments of the redeemed in the morning of eternity is the sincere prayer of her teacher.  E. R.

Death of Gustavus W. Cook.
On last Friday evening, Gustavus W. Cook died at the residence of his uncle, B. C. M. Pond, in Green township. Mr. Cook was about twenty-eight years of age and came to this county two years ago from Vermont. Mr. Pond, his uncle, health failed some two years ago and Mr. Cook came on to take care of his extensive farm. Mr. Pond returned to his old home in the east, where being fully restored to health he returned last fall. In the meantime, Mr. Cook saw to the farm, living by himself. Since Mr. Pond's return he has lived with him. About a month ago his health began to fail. He also about this time received a letter which very much depressed his spirits. He gradually failed till on last Friday he quietly passed away. He was a temperate, intelligent young man and had made many friends. His only relative in the county was Mr. Pond, who deeply mourns his loss. His remains were taken back to his old home for burial. How will the hearts of loved ones bleed when they behold the lifeless clay of him who went forth from his parental home so full of life and hope to seek his fortune in a far western land. May they be comforted by him who doeth all things well.  W.

In the Spirit Home. Death of Berryman T. Cowan.
Berryman T. [urner], son of James M. [ontgomery] and Ruth B. Cowan, was born on the 30th day of April 1859 in the State of Tennessee. When quite a small child his parents moved to Nodaway county and settled near Graham and in this vicinity he resided with his parents until called to cross the cold stream of death on the 13th day of September 1878. He was a young man of more than ordinary endowments, ever cautious and kind to all with whom he associated. But in the "home-circle" was where his light shone the brightest. On him a fond father and mother and loving sisters leaned for comfort and encouragement, from his lips never fell an unkind word. Always looking on the bright side of life, he brightened many an hour around the home fireside. But it seems on such the dark destroyer delights to lay his icy hand.
His sickness was of short duration and on his death bed he was enabled to lay hold on Christ as the Savior of his soul, exhorted all to make preparation for eternity and not wait as he had done, until on a dying bed. A short time before his death he called his father and told him he had not long to stay and that he wanted to die in peace with all. Asked that father to pray for all his friends, that they would prepare to meet him beyond the vale of shadows. In faith he surrendered his spirit into the hands of Him who gave. May the bereft ones find comfort in Him who notes the falling of a sparrow and be enabled to dry their tears and ever realize that he is only gone before. Who shall again behold that face which, while on earth, beamed with benignity and kindness on everything that bore the impress of the divine images, where it shall reflect the glory of Jesus without spot or intermission in that world where every tear is wiped from the eye and where care is finished from the heart forever, we shall meet and know him there.

G. [ehile] P. [ratt] Crabb died at the home of his son, Ralph Crabb, northeast of Valentine, yesterday morning about 9 o'clock. The funeral occurred this morning at 11 o'clock and interment was made in the Harmony cemetery. Mr. Crabb had been in feeble health for some time and came here from the state of Washington last winter in the hope of regaining his broken health but the Master had fixed the final seal upon his life and all efforts to restore him to his former good health were futile. In the passing away of Mr. Crabb, Cherry county loses one of its pioneer citizens and land marks and the wife and family a kind and loving husband and father. The bereft relatives have the heartfelt and sincere sympathy of scores of friends during their hours of sadness and affliction. Mrs. Crabb was informed of the serious illness of her husband and arrived from Washington in time to spend a few days with him before the final summons came.

Baker preached the funeral sermon to a large congregation of old neighbors and friends of the deceased, after which the Masonic fraternity took charge of the ceremonies in the march to and at the cemetery. The procession was nearly half a mile long.

Obituary – The funeral services of Mr. G. P. Crabb, which received brief mention in our last issue, was held at the Harmony school house last Friday morning, Rev. Baker officiating at the school house and the Masons had charge at the cemetery. The procession formed at the home of Mr. Crabb's son, Ralph Crabb, and at 10 o'clock repaired to the place of service. It was especially appropriate that the funeral service of the deceased should be held in the Harmony school house as he was the originator of its name and was superintendent of the first Sunday School held there.
After the service the procession stretched out in unbroken line for over half a mile and wound its way slowly to the Harmony cemetery. Before reaching the grounds, the procession halted and the Masons took their places at the head and thus accompanied their comrade to his last resting place. The service at the grave was most impressive.
Mr. Crabb was a member of three lodges, the Masonic, American Order of Protection and Workmen and the pall bearers were selected two from each lodge.
At the time of his death Mr. Crabb was a member of the Christian church in Tacoma, Wash. but the greater portion of his life he had been a member the Methodist church of which church he was a member at different times both in Valentine and at Harmony.
His body now lies in the little church yard in the midst of the county with which he has been so long and favorably identified and where old friends and neighbors who stood at his bier will in God's good time join him in the last rest. He was what you might truly call a "good man." His mistakes were mistakes of the head; his heart was ever right and his intentions the best.
Mrs. Crabb, who hastened from Washington at the news of his illness, is now visiting her mother in Missouri and will return to Washington soon.
Gehile P. [ratt] Crabb was born April 23, 1849 in Hendricks county, Indiana. He was married to Sarah Crabb July 4, 1869. Three children were born to this union, two dying in infancy. His first wife died June 25, 1878 [1879]. He was married again in 1881 to Abbie Hahn. Five children were born to them and two of these died in infancy.
He died July 22, 1909, at 9:30 o'clock a. m., being 60 years, 2 months and 29 days old. He leaves a wife and four children, two sons and two daughters and many friends to mourn his loss.

[COLLINS, SALLIE]

Little Sallie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amneist Collins, died near Quitman, March 4, 1882, at the residence of her grandfather, W. R. Holt. This was a sad stroke upon the family. Little Sallie was almost idolized by her father and mother, being the only child. She was the joy of her aged grandparents; in short, she was the life and light of the household. Her pretty little winning ways won for her a place in the hearts of all that knew her. The many anxious watchers around the little sufferer during fourteen days and nights; the long procession that followed her remains to the grave, told how much little Sallie was loved by all and how deeply the neighbors sympathized with the bereaved family. The writer of this having been in the family most of the winter learned to love Sallie very dearly. How often have I noticed the anxious expression of her little face if any member of the family chanced to be absent when we gathered around the table, and how sweetly she would call for the missing one to come to "dinno." We will not meet little Sallie at the table here, or hear that sweet call again in this world but we will meet her again on that other shore, and as the great blood washed throng go up to the marriage supper of the lamb, methinks I shall hear that sweet little voice, made doubly sweet by the years association with the angels, calling, "dinno, papa!, dinno, Bart!, dinno, Parker!" Shall any of us be unable to answer that call not having on the wedding garment? May God grant that little Sallie's call may not be in vain.                     L. R. Parker.

LAMAR STATION – Another mistake. It was a son instead of a daughter of Platt Colvin and wife who died of wounds of the ax in the hands of its mother. Circumstances over which we had no control prevented our being present at the funeral and our informant was wrong, hence the mistake. We saw the grief-stricken parents in church on Sunday. The sad face of the mother tells how the heart suffers. Their only child is gone to a better land, but their home is desolate.

--From the Stanberry News we glean the following: "A man named John Curry, from the vicinity of Sweet Home, committed suicide at W. T. Hyten's restaurant about five o'clock this morning by taking strychnine. His parents have lived for a number of years near Sweet Home and a number of his sisters and other relatives are still living there. The cause of the rash act is supposed to be a love affair. It seems he was engaged to a young lady several years ago and while he was absent in the far west, she married another man. He took the matter very much to heart and from entries made in a small journal he carried, it appears that he at last allowed his grief to overcome him and thinking there was nothing left worth living for, decided to take his own life, which he did. He was about thirty years of age and came of a very respectable family. As we go to press the inquest is being held over his remains and a verdict will probably be rendered in accordance with the above facts. Dr. Hinckley showed us the bottle from which he took the fatal potion and says that one tenth the amount would have been sufficient to kill him. It is a sad case."

Although ill for some time, he was not considered seriously so until a short time before his death. Medical skill and tenderest care proved all unavailing to prolong his stay. Ere the sun had entered upon its daily course, the soul of little Lee had passed into that blissful abode where the angels of little children do always behold the face of their Heavenly Father.

She with her husband and family were among the first settlers of this part of Nodaway county. Her husband died near forty years ago and his remains rest in Lamar cemetery. A place was left by his side for her when she passed away but that place is still vacant. Her remains sleep in Boone county, where many relatives are sleeping. They were pioneers of that county as well as this. She made her home with her son, the late Ambrose Colvin. She was a strong minded, able bodied woman and kept possession of all her faculties until a few months ago. She was in Boone county when she heard her son Ambrose was sick. She hurried back up here but arrived only in time to see him die. She then broke completely down. Her grandson took her to Columbia to her daughter, where she passed away July 6, 1895. She leaves three daughters, Mrs. Gordon, where she died, two who married brothers, John and Sam Owens, and live somewhere in the Niobrara country, one son, who is now and has been in the insane asylum many years, ever so many grand and great grandchildren and a host of other relatives in Ireland, Scotland and this country. Her life was long, active and eventful. She lived until her life became a burden, but the death angel came at last, as it is sure to do to all of us. . . .
