[JESTER, MARY]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 20, 1882
--Little Mary Jester, eighteen months old, youngest daughter of J. A. Jester, met with a fatal accident Sunday forenoon. The little thing toddled into the kitchen and before anyone noticed it, it picked up a can of concentrated lye which was sitting on the window sill and drank some of the burning fluid. A scream from the child was the first notice received by the terrified mother of what happened. Physicians were hastily summoned but nothing could relieve the little sufferer. The accident happened at eleven o'clock Sunday forenoon and not until Monday at five P. M. did the angel of death bring relief. Its sufferings were terrible and wrung every heart that witnessed them. The funeral services took place at 3 o'clock P. M. Tuesday at the family residence on fourth street and the remains were then laid at rest in Miriam cemetery. Little Mary was a bright, beautiful child, the picture of health, and her sudden death has almost crazed her parents. Her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. McMacken of this city, are also terribly stricken by the dreadful accident. To the bereaved family the sympathy of the entire community is given. May God comfort them in this hour of deepest affliction.

[JESTER, MARY]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 20, 1882
--Mr. and Mrs. James Jester are grievously afflicted in the death of their bright little daughter, Mary, aged eighteen months. She was an idol in their happy home. The story of her death is a sorrowful one. Only Sunday morning she was as joyous and merry as the bird that flits from branch to branch of the stately forest tree, chirping and singing its songs of innocence and purity. About half past eleven o'clock, when in the kitchen with the servant girl and in a moment when no eyes were beholding her, the little innocent seeing a box of concentrated lye beneath a bench in the pantry closet, which had been prepared for some purpose and wholly unconscious, of course, of the nature of the article, drank about a teaspoonful. A scream from her instantly brought all the members of the family by her side. Some half a dozen doctors were at once called but there was no antidote. She lingered, suffering very much, until Monday afternoon when death kindly came and relieved the little sufferer. Mrs. Jester had just been up at the artists and had a negative for photographs of her and their two other children taken on Friday. Funeral services were held at the residence Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, conducted by Rev. Workman, after which the remains were laid away in the Miriam Cemetery. The afflicted parents have the sympathy of all in their hour of sorrow and grief. This sad case is another proof of the dangerous nature of concentrated lye. All such instances are reminders that it ought always to be kept beyond the reach of children.

Mrs. N. T. Jones Called Home on Easter Morn
The passing of our beloved grandmother, Mrs. N. T. Jones, on Easter morning, April 5th, ended the earthly life of one of the most beautiful characters that ever lived.
She was seriously ill for almost three weeks, suffering from colitis. She rallied slightly several times during her illness and her family felt encouraged and hopeful for her recovery, but it was not to be. Following a change for the worse on Wednesday of last week, her strength gradually failed until the tired heart could no longer perform its work.
Her going leaves a broken home, for it was her happy mission to make a home not only for herself but for her oldest son, Frank, and her granddaughter, Irene French, to whom she has been both mother and grandmother.
Her life was one of service and devotion to her dear ones and friends. Always busy, always cheerful and sweet, she radiated the Christ-like spirit in everything she said and did.
Coming to Southwest Nebraska as a young wife and mother, she experienced with her husband the trials, the burdens and sacrifices of our pioneers. The family first lived on a claim in Dundy County, later resided in Stratton for seven years, coming to Trenton in 1894. Her life had its share of joy and sorrow and thru all she maintained the steadfast faith in her Saviour and the kindly, optimistic nature which was such an unfailing sense of happiness to all who knew her.
The memory of her life so richly endowed with all that is pure and beautiful will never be forgotten by her children and grandchildren.
Funeral services were held from the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon. The music for the service was furnished by a double quartet composed of Mrs. J. E. Prest, Mrs. J. W. Ireland, Mrs. A. T. McCoy, Mrs. L. D. Holston, E. F. Young, Mainard Wertz, C. E. Major and E. A. Wellett, with Miss Ersel Darby as pianist. A lovely soprano solo, "That Wonderful Mother Of Mine," was sung by Mrs. J. W. Ireland.
Rev. Arthur Swanson, the pastor, used the text, II Timothy 4:7 and his subject, "A Goodly Mother." His message was a tender and inspiring tribute to the one who is enshrined in our hearts.
Easter lilies and a profusion of other beautiful flowers expressed the regard and sympathy of friends near and far.
The pallbearers were: G. C. Kirkbride, J. F. Ratcliff, Morris Sydow, R. J. Boyd, N. E. Diehl and L. D. Holston.
Burial was in the family lot in Trenton cemetery, where the brief ritualistic service of the church was spoken by the pastor.
Following is the obituary read at the service:
Mary M. Linn was born at Linn's Mills, Missouri, March 6, 1850, and passed from this life at her home in Trenton, Nebraska, on Easter morning, April 5, 1931, at the age of 81 years and 29 days.
She was united in marriage with Nicholas T. Jones on December 23, 1869, at Wright City, Missouri. They moved to Marysville [Maryville], Missouri in 1874 and here they resided till May 1886, when they came to Southwest Nebraska to make their home. Trenton has been her home since August 1894.
Seven children were born to this union. Two sons, Louis and Carl, died in early childhood and a daughter, Florence, wife of W. I. French, passed away in 1902. The surviving children are: Frank and Mrs. O. W. DeWald of Trenton; Paul of Benkelman; and Mrs. George Keating of Missoula, Montana. She also leaves a brother, Louis Linn of Ferguson, Missouri, ten grandchildren and one great grandchild. Mr. Jones died September 9th, 1923.
Mrs. Jones has been a church member since early childhood and a member of the Methodist church in Trenton since 1895.
Grandma Jones was a true and victorious Christian, she was a loving and living incarnation of motherhood, always sufficient for her high responsibility. She was a constant and consistent friend, kindly always.
Her life was one long journey upward, without a halt or backward step. Thus, after a long and happy life full of fellowship and service she has come to the end of her earthly day. Her passing on Easter morning, bringing thoughts of comfort to those that mourn in the realization that Easter means the hope of life beyond the grave—eternal life.
Instead of mourning, let us look up and address her in the words of the poet:
Thy Day has come, not gone;
Thy sun has risen, not set;
Thy life is now beyond
The reach of death or change,
Not ended—but begun.
O, noble soul! O, gentle heart!
Hail, and farewell.

Honored Citizen Answers the Final Summons
In the passing of Nicholas T. Jones, Hitchcock county loses one of her honored pioneer citizens. A man, who so long as health permitted, took an active and prominent part in the affairs of the county and his own community and leaves to his fellow citizens and friends the memory of a life of influential service. He was a sufferer from bronchial asthma and in 1919 was seriously ill with influenza. He never recovered from the effects of this illness and for the past two years has failed rapidly, being confined to his bed the greater part of the time. For a number of terms, he held the office of Sheriff of the County and his work in this capacity was characterized by a fearless and stern resolve to follow the path of duty. Later he served as County Judge with a dignity and keen sense of Justice, which distinguished his work in this office.
For many years he was one of the most faithful workers in the Church and so long as he was able, attended every service. His faith was such that through example and personal persuasion he inspired others to turn to the Way, thru which comes all happiness. His religion ennobled his character and gave him that strength of purpose that is so essential in every truly Christian life. True he made his mistakes and had his faults, even as you and I. But at this time, let us remember only the kindness, sympathy and good deeds of our loved one, as well as the better life he was always striving to live.
We who knew him in the home, can best pay tribute to his splendid qualities, stern to the highest degree in his teachings to those about him of the respect and necessity of obedience to the Sabbath day, laws of God and duty to our government. A heart as tender in kindness to his family and those in sickness and distress as only a man of his generous and eminent endowments has the ability to know how to use.
Funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 12, 1923. The pastor, Rev. A. V. Wilson was in charge and was assisted by Rev. G. P. Gibbs and a choir of eight voices. Rev. Wilson preached from the text found in II Timothy 4:7, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."
The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns. A large crowd of friends came to pay their last respects to this veteran of the Cross who has gone to his reward.
Interment was made in Trenton cemetery. The services at the grave were conducted by soldiers of the G. A. R. and the A. O. U. W. lodge of which Mr. Jones was a member for 45 years. The active pallbearers were C. L. Allen, J. F. Ratcliff, M. C. Divoll, G. C. Kirkbride, C. A. Dalzell and R. R. Knowles. Honorary pallbearers were comrades of the Civil War, G. W. Benjamin, G. W. Carter, L. D. Hovey, Sam Lawrence, Clark Marsh and Mr. Gaylor of Stratton.
Nicholas T. Jones was born in Delaware, Ohio, January 8, 1844 and passed away at his home in Trenton, Nebraska, Sept. 9, 1923, aged 79 years, 8 mo. and 1 day. He grew to manhood in Ohio and at the age of 19 he enlisted in Company "C" of the 145th Ohio regiment, from which he received his honorable discharge in August 1864. In the fall of 1868 the family moved to Wright City, Missouri. Here he was united in marriage with Mary M. Linn on Dec. 23, 1869. They moved to Marysville [Maryville], Missouri in 1874 and here they resided till May 1886, when they came to southwest Nebraska to make their home. They have been residents of Trenton since August 1894.
When but a young man, Mr. Jones united with the Baptist church but upon moving to Missouri he identified himself with the Methodist church and during the remainder of his life, has been in fellowship with this church and a faithful Christian worker.
He leaves to mourn his departure, his wife, four children, Frank Jones and Mrs. O. W. DeWald of Trenton, Paul Jones of Benkelman and Mrs. George D. Keating of Paul, Idaho, ten grandchildren, three brothers and one sister. The four children and seven of the grandchildren were present at the funeral.

Gavin and was just beginning life—being only 24 years of age, when the relentless monster death closed her young life. Consumption was the fatal malady. She had been in failing health for a year past and a greater part of the time had suffered intensely. She was a member of the Episcopal Church and left ample evidence that her future home would be with the blessed. An infant, four months old, who will never know a mother's love, is left, who, by its prattle will help to assuage the grief of the bereft husband. She is mourned by parents, brothers and sisters and a devoted husband.

Called Home. Death of Mrs. Mary W. Jones.
To the aged whose life's work is done, whose dearest treasures are on the other shore, death comes as a friend, not as an enemy to be dreaded.
Such were our thoughts when we heard of the death of Mrs. Mary W. Jones, who departed this life at the ripe age of eighty-two. Mrs. Jones' maiden name was Stith. She was born in Bedford county, Va., on June 10, 1802 and was of French descent. When she was but four years of age, her parents removed to Kentucky. Here she grew to womanhood and on the 27th day of March 1818 she gave her hand in marriage to W. B. Jones, and together they walked the paths of life for sixty-two years when full of years and honor her husband laid down in death Nov. 1880.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones resided in Breckenridge county from the time they were married until 1865 or about forty-seven years. They then came to Maryville where they made their home until their death.
Mrs. Jones as above stated died on Nov. 1880. He was one of Maryville's most respected citizens. Since his death Mrs. Jones has resided at the old homestead with her daughter Phoebe.
Last August her son Theodore, who resides at Fayetteville, Ark., was here visiting and as his mother was in failing health thought that a change to a milder climate would improve her and so he took her home. But she steadily declined and on the morning of Thursday Dec. 11th quietly passed away, going to join her husband on the evergreen shore of the better land.
She was brought here for burial. the funeral services were held in the M. E. church south on Saturday at 11 o'clock. The services being conducted by Rev. Bolen, assisted by Rev. Cooper. A large concourse of friends were out to pay their last respects to the aged deceased.
She was laid at rest beside her husband in Miriam Cemetery. Mrs. Jones was the mother of twelve children, six of whom have preceded her to the land of shadows. The living are Mrs. Moorman, W. R. and Miss Phoebe of Maryville, James W. and Theodore of Arkansas and Mrs. Geltham [Gilliam] of Saline county.
She was a good woman, had for years been a devout member of the M. E. church south and to her death was but the gateway to a glorious world.
[Note: Kentucky,  County Marriage Records gives the marriage date as March 27, 1817 in Hardin County, Kentucky.]

A Happy Death. Mrs. Mary W. Jones Recognizes on Her Death-bed the Presence of Loved Ones Gone Before.
On the morning of December 11, 1884, at 4 o'clock, in the city of Fayetteville, Arkansas, at the residence of her son, Theo. F. Jones, the spirit of Mrs. Mary W. [alker] Jones winged its flight from the earth-life into the great summer-land of the hereafter. Mrs. Jones was a resident of Maryville and in last August, accompanied her son to Fayetteville, Arkansas, with the intention of remaining during this winter, thinking that the warm climate there would prove beneficial to her health. But she continued to decline after going there, and for the past month or two it was evident to her friends that the end was near. The end came peacefully, calmly and joyously at the time referred to above. Her remains arrived in this city last Friday evening, accompanied by her sons, Dr. J. W. Jones and Theo. F. Jones and his wife. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church South, at 11 o'clock last Saturday, conducted by Rev. H. C. Bolen, after which the mortal body was laid away to rest in Miriam cemetery alongside the grave of her husband, Wm. B. Jones, who died November 22, 1880, aged 85 years and 21 days.
Mrs. Jones' maiden name was Mary W. Stith. She was born in Bedford county, Virginia, June 10, 1802, and therefore was 82 years, 6 months and 1 day old at the time of her death. She was married to Wm. B. Jones March 27, 1818, and they lived together as husband and wife over 61 years. They had a family of twelve children. Those living are: Catharine (Mrs. Thomas Mooreman), Phoebe W., James W. (a physician in Arkansas), Wm. R., Mary A. (Mrs. Geltham), who resides in Saline county, this state, and Theo F. Those not living are: Lucy C. (Goode), Elizabeth A. (Board), Benjamin S., Charles H., Laura F. and Ellen.
They moved to Nodaway county in 1865 and to Maryville one year later.
Mrs. Jones, like her husband, had belonged to the M. E. church South from childhood and they were both devout Christians.
An incident occurred about ten minutes prior to the death of Mrs. Jones which is worthy of relating in this connection. She called the name of her sister Lucy, who died in 1830, shook hands with her and embraced her. She spoke to her daughters, Elizabeth, Laura and Ellen, who had been dead for years and also spoke to her husband. That she recognized each and all of these relatives, who had preceded her to the better land, our informant said no one could doubt who stood around her death-bed. What consolation this incident affords to children still left on earth! Here was proof of the soul's superior and independent being—proof of immortality and dwelling with loved ones forever. Was there ever, could there ever be a happier death? In fact, was it death at all? Was it not rather the entering upon a higher life? As mother Jones' vision was enraptured with the recognition of loved ones gone before around her bedside, though others could not behold the happy sight, she could exclaim:
   "My beautiful, my blest!
I see them there, by the Great Spirit's throne;
With winning words and fond beseeching tone
     They woo me to my rest."

Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, November 25, 1880
William B. Jones – It always seemed to us natural that man should live to a ripe old age and then be gathered to his fathers in the fulness of years. it must be sweet for a man to look back over a life well spent, to say "I have done my work and have tried to do it faithfully; and now I am ready to depart in peace."
Such could have been the thoughts of Father William B. [olling] Jones, who departed this life on last Monday, at the ripe old age of eighty-five. A father he was in Israel, respected and beloved by all who knew him. Long will we remember the gallant white haired old man who always so kindly greeted us. William B. Jones was born in Campbell county, Va., on the 30th of October 1795. This was in the administration Washington and thus he has lived under the administration of every president since our government was formed.
He enlisted as a soldier in the war of 1812, at Norfolk, Va., in Capt. Wm. Jones' company and Col. Wm. Jones' regiment. He was discharged at Norfolk, Va., on June 10, 1814.
Shortly after the close of the war he moved to Hardin county, Ky., and there on the 27th of March 1817, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary W. Stith. For sixty-three years have this couple walked together, sharing each other's joys and sorrow. Sixty-three years of married life is a portion not often falling to man and wife in this world.
He resided in Kentucky until after the close of the civil war, when he removed to Arkansas. He remained there but a short time when he removed to Nodaway county and for the past fifteen years he has been a citizen of Maryville.
Besides his aged widow he leaves numerous descendants. The children living are as follows. Mrs. Catherin Moreman of Nodaway county, Mo., wife of Thos. Moreman; James W. Jones, a physician, residing in Fayetteville, Ark., Miss Phoebe Jones of Maryville; William R. Jones, who is practicing law in Jacksonsport, Ark.; Mrs. Mary Swinney, of Glasgow, Mo., and Theo. F. Jones of Maryville, Mo.
Two children, Mrs. Goode, formerly of Saline county, Mo., and Mrs. Board, formerly of Jacksonsport, Ark., are dead, leaving descendants in those places.
It will thus be seen that Mr. Jones was the father of a numerous family, all of whom are highly respected and occupy high social positions in life. The funeral services of Mr. Jones took place at the M. E. church, south, at 10 o'clock A. M. on Wednesday. The Rev. Bolin, pastor of the church, preached an affecting discourse from the words, "Blessed arie the dead that die in the Lord." He spoke of the long life of the deceased, of his character and Christian devotion. At the early age of fifteen he had embraced religion and for seventy years he had been a devoted Christian. Surely it might be said of him, "He died in the Lord." At the close of the sermon, Rev. Sasseen, of the Main Street M. E. church spoke at some length of the virtue of the deceased.
Mr. Jones was conscious of the near approach of death and welcomed the grim monster gladly. To him death had no fears. He made all preparation, even to those who should bear his mortal remains. His pall bearers were Jas. H. Saunders, John Dean, R. P. Robinson, W. C. O'Rear, L. B. Lane and Judge Alexander. He was buried in Miriam cemetery. . . .

The Spirit Gone Home. Death of Wm. B. Jones at the Ripe Old Age of Eighty-five Years.
On last Monday morning at twenty minutes before five o'clock, the subject of this obituary notice passed from earth into eternity, as calmly and quietly as if going to sleep. His health had been on the decline for several months and his demise was not an unexpected event. It was more the result of the giving away of nature than of any particular disease. When the end came, the deathly messenger so gently and peacefully summoned his spirit away, that probably the exact moment of his death would not have been known but for the physician's hand upon his pulse.
Mr. Jones was born the 30th day of October, 1795, in Campbell county, Virginia. He left Virginia in 1816 and went to Kentucky on a visit. During this visit he became acquainted with Miss Mary Stith, who survives him and was married to her in March of 1817. He then returned to Virginia for a short time to make preparations to move to Kentucky with a view of permanently locating, which he did. Mr. and Mrs. Jones lived in Kentucky forty-nine years. The left there in the spring of 1865 and came to this county, settling on a farm east of Bridgewater. They moved to Maryville the subsequent fall and have lived here since.
Mr. Jones served as a soldier in the war of 1812. He drew a pension of eight dollars per month from September 11, 1871, until his death. He stated once to the writer that in Virginia they did not hear of the conclusion of the war and the treaty of peace until about two months after it was made. The treaty of Ghent was signed in December and the news of it did not reach Norfolk, Virginia, until the following 22nd of February, Washington's birthday. Mr. Jones was born during Washington's administration and consequently lived under every president of the United States. About the first thing he remembered was the death of Washington. He was a little over four years of age when that occurred.
Mr. Jones was all his life a strictly temperate man. He never used tobacco in any shape or form and never used intoxicating liquors. His mental faculties were unclouded to the last. He lost his power of speech some days before his death but was perfectly conscious to the last moment.

His funeral services were held at the M. E. church, South, at ten o'clock, A. M., on Wednesday, conducted by Rev. H. C. Bolen. The crowded house and large funeral procession attested to the esteem in which the deceased was held more than words can express. Mr. Jones had belonged to the church from his boyhood and ever proved true to the Christian duties which he voluntarily took upon himself when so young. He lived a noble, grand life; and now that he is dead, his many virtues are on perpetual record in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Mrs. Jones is some six years younger than her husband. She is remarkably hale and hearty for her age. They lived together in the wedded life almost sixty-three years.
Six of twelve children survive, eleven of whom grew to maturity. Two sons live in Arkansas, three daughters and a son, Theo. F. Jones, live here.
His remains were interred in Miriam cemetery on Wednesday.
Jas. H. Saunders, John Dean, W. C. Orear, Jos. E. Alexander, L. B. Lane and R. P. Robinson were the pallbearers. They were named by Mr. Jones before his death. The funeral services made a solemn scene and will never be forgotten by those who were present.
Thus closes a long and honored life. A truly good man has been called home. A truly grand life has closed. A pure spirit has been wafted into the presence of its Maker, to enjoy immortal life, with all of earth that shall be accounted worthy to be numbered among that innumerable and happy throng which shall sing praises around the Throne on high forever and ever.

Obituary – Henry Lewis Kesler died August 13, 1881, after a severe illness of five weeks, in the 18th year of his age, leaving behind him a bright evidence of a glorious immortality and eternal life with the redeemed in heaven. Calling on those by his bedside to sing and pray with him while he was praying to God to receive his spirit unto himself, saying that Jesus was by his side ready to receive him and that he could see angels around him and hear the sweet songs of the redeemed, exhorting his mother to hold fast to her faith in Christ and meet him in heaven and his dear father who was not present, he did not forget to leave advice for him, saying: "Tell father to join the church and become religious, pray with his family and meet me in heaven;" and to his two sisters and three brothers he said: "Join the church, give God your hearts and meet me in heaven." My hour has come; I am ready now to go home to Jesus and meet my two little brothers in God's kingdom. He then requested those by his bedside to sing the song, "We will gather at the River," and then he fell asleep in Christ.

Mrs. Kildow has been enjoying poor health for some time and about two weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Kildow started for Texas in hopes it would improve her health. But she grew worse and they started home, arriving Wednesday morning. Hardly had the poor woman reached her home when exhausted nature gave away and she died in her husband's arms.

Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, December 20, 1883
Died on Wednesday morning Dec. 12th, of consumption, Allie S. M. Kildow, aged twenty-nine years and ten months.
We briefly noticed the death of Mrs. Kildow in last week's paper. She had been sick for some months with that terrible disease, consumption. When all else failed, her husband took her to Texas, hoping a change of climate would be of an advantage. But he had hardly arrived at San Antonio when he found he must return at once. They arrived on the Cannon Ball Wednesday morning. She was taken to the house of Mr. John Herren and placed in an easy chair. She soon asked to be lain down. Just as her husband was placing her on the bed, she looked up into his face and asked him if she was dying and immediately sank into the arms of death. Her death was a terrible blow to her husband. J. Clark Moore, of Cadiz, Ohio, Mrs. Jennie R. M. Engleson of Philadelphia, brother and sister of the deceased arrived Friday morning and the funeral services took place at the Presbyterian church, Rev's Gearhart and Workman officiating.
Mrs. Kildow's maiden name was Moore and she was born in Cadiz, Harrison county, Ohio. She was united in marriage to Mr. J. B. Kildow at Meadville, Pa., March 31st, 1880.
Ever since her early childhood she had been a member of the Presbyterian church and her life was one of gentleness, purity and love. An infant child had gone before her to the better land.
To her mourning husband and many friends, we can only [say], "She is at rest. Look beyond."

Mrs. Kildow was a splendid woman, and her death is a sad blow to her devoted husband. Her disease was consumption.

Death of Emma D. Kildow.
Died at the residence of John B. Kildow in Maryville, Mo., on Saturday, April 2, 1892, at 4 o'clock a. m., Emma D. Kildow in her 28th year.
Emma Deschauer was the daughter of S. A. and Margarethe Deschauer and was born in Chicago, Illinois on August 12, 1864. In 1877 she came to Maryville with her parents and her brother Rudolph, her other brother Fred remaining in his native city. She was educated in the public schools and was greatly loved and admired by all her associates.
January 21, 1888, she was united in marriage to John B. Kildow, who was at that time a member of the Missouri Legislature and she spent some time with him at Jefferson City.
Mrs. Kildow joined Sedgwick Relief Corps soon after her marriage and became an active member and prominent in its councils. She was treasurer of the Corps in 1890 and 1891 and only by refusal to serve did she fail to hold that office at the time of her death. She was also a delegate from her Corps to the State Encampment at Moberly in 1891.
By her untimely death she leaves a little girl born on Sunday, March 13, which she named Emma D. before her demise; a devoted husband, a disconsolate mother and brother Rudolph, all living in Maryville, and a brother, Dr. F. Deschauer of Chicago, Illinois, besides countless friends to mourn her departure. To all those we trust strength will be given from on high to sustain them in their deep affliction.
The funeral services were held Monday afternoon, April 4, 1892, at the First Presbyterian church in Maryville, conducted by the pastor, Rev. A. M. Reynolds. The ladies of the Relief Corps had charge of the services over their departed sister and a large number of members of Sedgwick Post 21, G. A. R., attended to sympathize with their bereaved comrade.
The many beautiful flowers presented by friends in Chicago and at Maryville indicated the estimation in which Mrs. Kildow was held. Her remains were laid away to rest in Miriam cemetery.

He came west after the war and engaged in school teaching and farming in Andrew county, finally settling in Nodaway county. He served a term as representative in 1889 from the south district of Nodaway county. He then located in Maryville, practicing law and attending to pension business.

[LIVENGOOD, FRANCES EMARINE RUTLEDGE]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, June 9, 1892
Obituary – Francis Emarine Livengood, daughter of Rev. Thomas and Julia Ann Rutledge, of precious memory, was born in Green county, Indiana, the 16th of March, A. D. 1848, and departed this life triumphant through faith in Christ, at her pleasant home near Elmo in Nodaway county, Missouri, May 26, 1862 [1892], at the age of 44 years, 2 months and 10 days. She was married to her now bereaved husband, George W. Livengood, April 1, 1866, of which happy union were born seven children, two of whom preceded her to that spirit land beyond this vale of tears, while five, remaining in these low grounds of sorrow, lament in her departure from them their saddest loss, though to her indeed it was joyous and all is well with her now, we have no doubt. She was most happily converted to the soul satisfying and ever comforting religion of Jesus about fifteen years ago and she exemplified it in her daily life all these years and was always found in her place in the church when she was able to get there and sometimes when she was scarcely able to be up. Indeed, she loved the church and its delightful services so well, that when she gave up all hope of attending them on earth again, she sent for her pastor and requested us to have prayer and song in her home in which services she most heartily participated, singing, shouting the praises of God and exhorting her friends to get ready for death and meet her in heaven.
And thus, though she had been an invalid for several years and a great sufferer, especially during the last twelve days of her illness, her afflictions she "endured, as seeing Him who is invisible," with Christian grace and fortitude, till came at last her permanent relief, for which she was ready and anxiously but patiently waiting, often saying during her last illness, "I have not lived my religion in vain—It comforts me in death—Yes Jesus is precious to me now—What would I do without Him now amid such suffering?—He is all my hope—I am going to that bright land beyond the skies—Tell my brothers and sisters of the church goodbye—I would like to see them all—Tell them I die happy in Jesus—I feel like my soul should fly away beyond the stars and be at rest—I want them all to meet me in heaven," and many other precious things; saying just before she breather her last on earth, "I will soon be up yonder." What a blessed hope! Oh that our last end may be as happy as hers and we as sure of heaven. And thus it may be with us all, if through faith in her ever present and comforting Savior, we only live for it. May the good Lord help us henceforth so to live for Jesus' sake. Amen.
Her funeral was preached by the writer, at her request, in the church of which she was an honored and faithful member 'till called to lay her amour by and rest in peace at home. And may the host of relatives and friends to whom it was preached from the most comforting text, to a faithful, toilworn pilgrim, to be found in the volume of God's sacred truth—Revelation 14: 13 –be comforted and benefited by it  and may they all so live as to meet her in heaven at last, especially the bereaved and sorrowing family is my sincere prayer, while I thank God for a comforting Savior who "is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him seeing that He ever liveth to make intercession for them," and who will soon wipe all tears away from the eyes of His beloved saints and say unto them, "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." When sorrow and sighing shall flee away and they shall be crowned with life and ever lasting joy at God's right hand in the ultimate heaven.  Her pastor, J. T. Loyall, Elmo, Mo.

Taken to His Arms. Death of Little Lillie Lotz.
Still the dark-winged monster traverses our midst and nips the flower of our brightest anticipation. The idols of hearts and household are borne away, while we mortals are left to ponder over the mysterious works of Him who doeth all things well—in sparing the lives of so many seemingly worthless creatures and taking from us those who apparently promise everything that is pure, beautiful and good. Since His tender mercies are over all His works, we can but think that they are called hence to shield them from the storms of earth, which might otherwise overtake them. Such was our thoughts when we stood by the dying couch of little Lillie Lotz, who was born in St. Clair county, Michigan, January 4, 1876, and breathed her last in Graham, Mo., February 9, 1879. She was one of the sweetest little children that we ever met, the pride and pet of the family, who moved to Graham during last fall, it seems only to find a resting place for the little nestling.
To the bereft parents and relatives we extend our heartfelt sympathy in this dark hour of bereavement and commend them for comfort to Him who has said, "Suffer the little ones to come unto me." May He enable them by the eye of faith to look beyond the gloom of the grave and behold their dear darling little Lillie clasped hand in hand and walking on the banks of the river of life with the dear ones gone before. May we all meet them there.

--The following dispatch was sent from Hopkins to the Kansas City Times last Friday: Mrs. Mary Livasy was found dead this morning in a pool of blood on the floor of her home at the house of her son-in-law, Robert Coleman, the well-known stock shipper of Hopkins. She retired last night, apparently in the best of health, but took sick during the night and had gotten up and dressed, evidently with the intention of going down stairs, when she was taken with a severe hemorrhage and bled to death, without awakening any of the household. She was 68 years old and the mother of thirteen children. Her mother, Mrs. Smith, is still alive and resides in Pickering, being 96 years of age.

Mrs. Livasy's Sudden Death. Found Lying on the Floor of Her Bed-Room Friday.
Was Sixty-Eight Years Old. Hemorrhage of the Lungs Supposed to Have Been the Cause—Went to Bed Feeling as Well as Usual.
Mrs. Caroline Livasy, aged sixty-eight years, was found lying dead on the floor of her bed room at the home of her son-in-law, Robert Coleman, two and a half miles south of Hopkins, early Friday morning.
Mrs. Livasy went to bed apparently feeling as well as usual Thursday night. Her changed condition was only discovered when she was called Friday morning.
No Inquest Held.
Coroner E. L. Crowson was called from his home in Pickering to investigate the affair, but he decided after his arrival that the circumstances would not justify the expense of holding an inquest. It was a plain case, he thought, of hemorrhage of the lungs.
Mrs. Livasy was the mother of Mrs. Robert Coleman of near Hopkins, at whose home she died and of Frank and L. D. Livasy of near Pickering. She had been enjoying good health and her death came as a great shock to all the members of her family.
The remains were interred in White Oak Grove cemetery, between Pickering and Hopkins.

Mr. Lewis had some cattle on the bottom feeding and fearing that the river would rise and drown them, he mounted his horse and rode down to drive them out. As he was crossing a slough, about twenty feet wide, his horse refused to swim and commenced plunging about in so violent a manner as to unseat Mr. Lewis, who being unable to swim sank to the bottom. His body was recovered after about two hours, but it was too late to resuscitate him. The deceased leaves a wife and three children, who have the sincere sympathy of the neighborhood in their sudden and severe loss. – Stanberry News.

She made a profession of religion several years ago and joined the Christian Union church in Ohio but had not united with any church since coming to this country.

Another Good Citizen Gone. Death of James E. Laffer.
Maryville has been called upon to mourn the loss of another of her best citizens. On Monday night the soul of James E. Laffer took its flight to the other world. He was taken sick on Friday, November 5th, with a severe cold which speedily developed into pneumonia. All that kindness and skill could do was done, but of no avail, his life's work was done.
His funeral was preached at the M. E. church at 2 o'clock P. M. Wednesday by the Rev. Sasseen. The crowded house told in what appreciation he was held by his fellow men. On the front seat of the church sat his Sabbath school class, to take the last look at the face of their beloved teacher.
Mr. Laffer was about 47 years of age at the time of his death and had been a resident of Maryville since 1867. He was born in Ohio, moved from there to Iowa and from Iowa here in the year above mentioned. He went into partnership with I. N. Albin in the mercantile business, in which he continued for some years. As a man, Mr. Laffer was above reproach. In all of his dealings he was upright and honest. He was a faithful member of the M. church and a devoted Sunday school worker. In the latter place it will be hard to fill his place. As a citizen he was energetic and enterprising. He was very quiet in his demeanor but firm in all of his convictions and never shrank from what he considered his duty. It is such as he was, that make a noble, moral and honest community. His death is a loss to Maryville. He leaves no children but a loving, faithful wife to weep over his grave. Peace to his ashes.

Over Jordan's Billows. Death of Mr. James E. Laffer of This City.
It is with feelings of sorrow we chronicle the demise of our respected fellow-townsman, Mr. James E. Laffer, which occurred last Monday night shortly after midnight. He had been sick but little over a week, but being of feeble constitution his physical system was not strong enough to withstand that dreadful disease, pneumonia-typhus fever. He suffered great pain a large portion of the time but bore it with that calm, Christian spirit with which he seemed ever to be surrounded. A short time before his death his suffering was not so great. He was perfectly rational but had lost the power of speech.
Mrs. Laffer came to this city early in the spring of 1868. Shortly after he engaged in the mercantile business, associated with Mr. I. N. Albin. The partnership between them remained from that date until the spring of 1877. He was an honorable, upright business man. He was about forty-seven years of age.
Mr. Laffer belong to the M. E. church for a long number of years and was a devoted faithful member, ever performing his whole duty in his Christian life.
Rev. Sasseen preached his funeral sermon, at the Main street M. E. church on Wednesday, at two o'clock P. M. The large congregation present attested the esteem in which the deceased was held in the community where he was so well known. His remains were interred in Miriam cemetery.
Mrs. Laffer has the heartfelt sympathies of all in the sad hour of bereavement which has fallen upon her. She has the consolation, however, that she sorrows not without hope. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
[Note: He is buried in Woodland Cemetery, Des Moines, Iowa, not Miriam Cemetery, as stated above.  See FAG memorial 36201579.]

W. A. Laing Crosses the Dark River.
It is with the deepest sorrow that we chronicle the death of W. [illiam] A. Laing of this city. But a few days ago he was with us and to all appearance bid fair for a long and useful life. In appearance he was more than an ordinary rugged looking man, but we learn he has been subject to attacks of neuralgia which endangered his life. On Monday of last week he was taken with a very severe attack and suffered the most excruciating pain. A fever of a typhoid type also developed itself. The attending physician, Dr. Campbell, had but little hope from the first. He lingered until Monday when at 6:30 P. M. he breathed his last. On Tuesday afternoon short religious services were held at the family residence on North Main street and the body was shipped to Charlotte, Mich., where the family will shortly remove. Appropriate religious services will be held at the Main Street M. E. church next Sabbath at eleven o'clock A. M. Mr. Laing leaves a widow and two children. His son, Charles, was engaged in business with him here in Maryville. His oldest child, a daughter, is married and resides at Charlotte, Mich. She was summoned by telegraph and arrived here Monday morning. She has the consolation of knowing that her father knew her, that his face lightened up at her coming, but soon the last farewell had to be spoken and the father's eyes closed in death forever.
Mr. Laing was about forty-five years of age and was thus cut down in the prime of his manhood. He has been in the produce business in Maryville for nearly three years and has made many friends. He was honorable in all of his dealings and a man of strict integrity. Among all classes of citizens his death is deeply mourned. As a citizen he was public spirited and was of that class that helps to build up a country. To his stricken wife and children we extend our heartfelt sympathy.
A good man has fallen. Peace to his ashes.

[LIGHTBOURN, CHARLES W.]

At Rest.
Death has been busy in our midst during the past month. Among those who have passed from among us, we must place the name of Dr. C. [harles] W. Lightbourne, who died Thursday morning last, of disease of the kidneys and ulceration of the bowels. For sixteen years Dr. Lightbourn has been a sufferer from a complication of disease and all that medical skill could do was done for his relief but all in vain. Dr. L. was a native of the West Indies, having been born at Nassau, New Providence, in the West Indies on the 13th of April 1845. He was educated in England. During the rebellion he was a surgeon in the U. S. army. He was married at Nassau in the West Indies and neither kith nor kin, except the now heart-broken widow, are in this country. He practiced medicine in various parts of the United States, coming to Maryville in the fall of 1878. During his residence in this city the Doctor made many friends. He was a careful physician, a worthy citizen and a loving husband. Only a few months ago he undertook the management of the Sanitarium and had barely succeeded in getting it in good running order when he was called away. His wife is left a stranger in a strange land, being a native of the West Indies, where her relatives all reside. We tender ot her our heartfelt sympathies in this her deep sorrow and loneliness and commend her to Him "who doeth all things well," and who alone can heal the broken-hearted.

Since our last issue Dr. C. [harles] W. Lightbourne, who has been seriously sick for some weeks past, has passed away from earth. He died last Thursday morning and was consigned to the grave on Saturday, Rev. Sasseen holding the funeral services at his late residence. A fatal disease had fastened itself upon him and his recovery was not looked for a week or two before his demise. Mrs. Lightbourn was nearly worn out in watching and nursing him. Her affliction is very severe indeed. She is now left all alone in this country, having no relatives nearer than the West India islands. The kindness and care extended to the afflicted family by Elder Rufus Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Fayette Smith and Mr. James I. Eddy is especially worthy of notice and commendation. There must be a great reward somewhere for such acts of sympathy and humanitarian kindness. Dr. Lightbourn's relatives also reside in the West Indies. He was about thirty-five years of age and was a good physician. With the assistance of Elder Smith he had just fitted up the Sanitarium and was beginning to reap some profits from it when death stepped in and called him to another existence. The Dr. had been in Maryville something over a year and was prostrated several weeks shortly after he came. He was working into a good and lucrative practice. He was a homeopathic physician. He was buried in the Odd fellows cemetery last Saturday.

[LOTZ, MARY C.]

Mrs. Mary Lotz died on last Thursday night, after a long and painful illness. Mr. and Mrs. Lotz came here from Wisconsin less than a year ago and were called to give up a bright little girl during the winter, and now the mother has followed the little one, leaving her husband and little Loma to mourn. May they remember that "they mourn the dead who live as they desire," and always look to the great Comforter for consolation.
