John Mahan Shot and Mortally Wounded by Charles Stevens.
Maryville has been free for some years of any deadly affray and we have considered ourselves singularly fortunate in that particular. But Saturday evening about six o'clock the town was thrown into great excitement by the report that Charles Stevens, alias "Omaha Charley," had shot and killed John Mahan, in Schroeder's saloon. This saloon has for some time past been a resort for all the roughs of the city and country and fights and rows were almost of daily occurrence. The Republican had frequently called attention to the place, but it seems nothing could be done until the meeting of the county court. On the fatal evening "Omaha Charley" was keeping bar for Schroeder and Jake Layton in company with Mahan and some others entered the saloon and Layton entered into conversation with Charley. There were bad blood between the two about some lewd woman. "Omaha Charley" ordered Layton out of the saloon and Layton not going, Charley come out from behind the counter and fired one shot at Layton, the ball passing through his coat. John Mahan jumped and caught Charley and received a ball in his body. Mahan still kept hold of him, and it seems that he had him from behind, as Charley threw the revolver back over his shoulder and fired, two shots taking effect in the back of Mahan's head. "Omaha Charley," who it seems did not try to escape, was arrested by Hosea Torrance and lodged in the city prison. Mahan was first taken to the drug store of Ellis & Prather and then to the restaurant of Ed. Moss. Drs. T. J. Dunn, Mulholland and McKay examine[d] his wounds and pronounced them fatal. But he rallied Sunday and slight hope were entertained of his recovery. He lingered till Monday night at ten o'clock P. M. when he quietly passed away. The shot that killed him struck him in the body, passed through the diaphragm, then ranged upward through the lungs and lodged near the spinal column. His funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church at three o'clock Tuesday, the house being crowded and Rev. Workman preaching a very affecting discourse. His remains were buried in the cemetery north of town. After his death, a jury were empaneled consisting of R. P. Robinson, L. Lane, W. Clark, Thos. Neighbors and Messrs. Burke and Lomax. Four or five witnesses were examined and the jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by a pistol shot fired by the hand of Charles Stevens alias Omaha Charley. . . .
As to John Mahan his fate is a sad one. His family a most respected one, yet he chose the evil and was cut down in the morning of his days, being only twenty-seven at the time of his death. Lewd women and whisky were his bane and to them he owes his fate. Well he could say on his death bed, "Whisky did this," and well could he exact a pledge from his comrades never more to touch it. What a temperance lecture! What a warning to every young man who frequents the salon! May it be heeded. To the stricken relatives of the deceased, we extend our heartfelt sympathy. Hard, indeed, must it be to bear. May they be comforted from a higher source than earth.

[MASTERS, MAGGIE E. GARNETT]

Death of Mrs. Maggie E. Masters.
It is with sadness that we are again called upon to notice the death of one of our beloved citizens and friends (Miss Maggie E. Garnett, her maiden name). She was born October 9, 1858, in Nodaway county, Mo. Her father, Mr. Thomas Garnett, died in 1858 (Maggie was but five years of age), leaving three little orphan girls, Maggie, Mollie and Katie, in the care of a loving and kind mother. Under the dark clouds of war, she raised those little girls to industry, honor and virtue.
September 9, 1878, Mr Edwin Masters led his beautiful blushing bride, Miss Maggie E. Garnett, to the altar, where he pledged to love and protect her as long as she lived. Four years they lived happy together in each other's love. February 20, 1882, to them was born a beautiful girl babe. But in a few days all eyes of the community were turned toward Mrs. Masters and very soon it was apparent that she must die. All that medical skill and human kindness could do was done. On the morning of March 6, 1882, at six o'clock A. M., her noble form was stilled forever in death and her spirit took its flight to that bright world. She was twenty-three years, four months and twenty-five days old. Mrs. Masters never made a public profession of religion until the day before her death, Sunday and Sunday night she was constantly praying and exhorting those dear friends around her to meet her in heaven. When she was very near death she sang with a clear voice—
"We are going home to die no more."
And those beautiful lines—
Nearer my God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me
Still all my song shall be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee.
"Oh!" said she, "how often have I heard those lines but heeded them not." It was a solemn sight to see her friends around her dying couch, while she was writhing in the agonies of death, all bathed in tears. On Tuesday, at the hour of eleven, her funeral sermon was preached at the residence to a large audience of neighbors and friends by Rev. Bolen of Maryville, from Revelations, 14th chapter, 13th verse, in a very able and impressive manner. Tears flowed like rain—all eyes were bathed in tears. She leaves a beautiful girl babe, two weeks old, a kind and affectionate husband, a loving mother, and two sisters and many friends to mourn her untimely death. We say like Maggie in her dying moments, "Look to Jesus in the dark hour of trouble for consolation."
Her remains were followed to the Grove's graveyard by a large concourse of friends. [Poem not transcribed.]

--Mrs. Masters, wife of Ed. Masters, who resides ten miles southwest of Maryville, died last Sunday morning of child-bed fever after an illness of about two weeks. A few hours before she died she called friends and relatives around her and talked to them affectionately and beautifully, giving them advice and sending messages of love to all. She asked to have the bible read to her and while this was being done, she would frequently break out in praise of God and sang in a clear voice several hymns. Several months before she was taken sick she said she would die soon and laid away her wedding dress and other clothes in which to be buried. She leaves a babe about fifteen months old.

Death of A. K. Martin.
Died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles L. Parcher, on South Market street in Maryville, on Thursday, January 25, 1906, A. K. Martin, aged 88 years, 1 month and 8 days.
A. [lexander] K. [nox] Martin was born in Connelsburg, Bedford county, Pa., December 26th, 1817. His father was a native of Ireland.
The son accompanied his parents to Knox county, Ohio, where he was reared. When 19 years of age he learned the carpenter's trade. In the spring of 1830 Mr. Martin emigrated to Logan county, Illinois, remaining there until 1865, when he moved west and settled in Andrew county, Missouri.
There he improved one of the finest farms in the county, but sold it in 1875 and came to Maryville.
For a number of years Mr. Martin was a member of the Maryville board of education and had also been a member of the city council.
He was married in Logan county, Illinois in 1841 to Miss M. Hablit of Greene county, Ohio.
Since the death of his wife, ten years ago, he has made his home with his youngest daughter in Maryville.
Only two children from a family of ten are now living. They are Mrs. Parcher, at whose home the father died and Mrs. J. J. Bean of Blanchard, Iowa, who was with Mr. Martin during his last illness.
Funeral services were held Saturday at the home, conducted by Rev. Homer Martien Cook, pastor of the Baptist church of which deceased was a long time member.

DIED – At the residence of his parents in Maryville, January 14th, 1880, John H. Martin, son of A. [lexander] K. [nox] and Millicent Martin, aged 27 years, one month and ten days. Born at Atlanta, Logan county, Illinois, December 4th, 1852; came to this state in 1865 with his parents.
The subject of this notice was the only remaining son of his parents, and on that account his loss is the more keenly felt. His last illness was a short one, less than a week's time elapsing between the beginning and end of his sickness. John was an exceptional young man, honest, upright and with none of those traits of character that so often darken the life of our young men. While not a professor of religion, he was more regular in his attendance than many who are. He who has said in his word, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them," certainly saw some of the fruits of righteousness in him. A loving, tender, affectionate son, he leaves a void in the hearts of his parents that can never be filled in this world. Kindly in all his dealings with his fellow men, his memory will remain with us as the perfume of the rose lingers when its petals are withered and faded.
Funeral services were held on Thursday, January 12th, at 11 o'clock A. M., in the Baptist church, conducted by the pastor, Elder H. J. Latour, assisted by Revs. A. D. Workman, of the Presbyterian, D. B. Lake, of the Methodist and Rev. Davis, of the Christian churches. A large concourse of sympathetic friends filled the edifice and at the close of the services looked for the last time on the mortal remains of the departed.
Friday morning the remains were taken to Savannah and in the presence of a number of friends and relatives interred in the family lot in the old Savannah cemetery, there to await the resurrection morn.

The parents have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their bereavement.

David P. Malott Sudden Victim of Heart Disease Working in Barn. Lived Here Since 1885
Boy Called By Telephone Rushes to Place Parent is Working But Arrives There Too Late to Aid Him.
David P. Malott, 64 years old and a resident of Parsons since 1885 died suddenly of heart disease about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon while he was attending to horses owned by him in a barn at the rear of 312 Central avenue.
Mrs. Samantha McCoy who lives in the dwelling at the same address the barn is located saw Malott emerge from the barn door and stagger, apparently in distress. Realizing that he was experiencing a dangerous attack of some sort Mrs. McCoy rushed to the telephone and notified Ernest Malott, a son, who was working in the W. C. Malott blacksmith shop on Washington street.
Dead When Son Arrived.
The boy ran to the barn. There he found his father lying not far from the barn door. The son picked him up and looked into his face before he realized that he was dead. The fatal attack had produced its effect evidently in only a few minutes.
Mr. Malott was born in Marion, Grant county Indiana, October 3, 1850. He came to Parsons in May 1885, working at the trade of blacksmith and horseshoer. While he has been at other places for short intervals this city has always been his home.

Anna Kemper McCluskey. She is Called to the Land Beyond.
To those of us in life and health, it is almost impossible to realize that death is so near. Yet in a moment are we cut down and the places that knew us know us no more. A loved one walks by our side; a few fleeting hours and alone and broken hearted we tread earth's weary way. In the morning bright sunbeams of joy dance in the morning air, in the evening the leaden pall of death covers all. Who can conceive the utter desolation of that home, when the wife and mother is taken away! We can sympathize, we can shed tears with those that weep, but never, never can we feel the agony of him who called her wife.
When it was known on Wednesday of last week, that the gentle spirit of Anna Kemper McCluskey had been called to the summer land beyond, many were the tears that were shed, many were the hearts that bled.
Anna Kemper McCluskey was born in Ross county, Ohio, October 29, 1851. Her mother died when she was quite young and she was raised by a half sister, now Mrs. Lida Huntley. Miss Kemper came to Maryville in 1866. On the 23d of May 1869, she was united in marriage to Dr. S. [amuel] C. McCluskey. The union was a happy one and for over ten years the doctor and his wife walked the path of life together, strong in the love of each other and happy of the future. They had built a pleasant home and looked forward to years of happiness. But the summons came, and the home was broken. On Friday the wife and mother was consigned to the silent tomb. Nestled to the cold cheek of the mother was the blossom for which she yielded up her life.
The funeral services were held at the residence, the Rev. A. D. Workman officiating. Her remains were followed to the grave by a vast concourse of citizens. Her only full sister, Miss Kate Kemper of Keithsburg, Ill., arrived the evening before the funeral. Mrs. McCluskey had four half-sisters, one of whom, Mrs. Huntley, had been both a sister and a mother to her. Mrs. Huntley resides at Payson, Ill., and did not receive word of the sad bereavement in time to be at the last sad rites. She arrived in town Monday.
Mrs. McCluskey leaves one child, a little daughter four years of age, who will never remember a mother's love. She was a devout member of the Presbyterian church and died in full hope of a blessed immortality. Her last words were, "I am dying now," and clasping her hands in prayer she sweetly fell asleep in the arms of her Saviour. To those to whom she was so near and dear, her loss is a heavy one. To Dr. McCluskey the blow is almost crushing. Words of comfort are sweet but bring no relief. The sympathetic tear touches the heart but fills not the aching void. But as time rolls on and the first great grief is past, may the memory of Anna be like a sweet incense to his life and lead him beside still waters.

Wallis McKee Takes Own Life With Gun
The body of Wallis McKee, who was about 41 years old and a veteran of the World War, was found dead shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon on the crest of a hill on a continuation of East Seventh street, a short distance west from North Depot street.
His body was at the side of the road, lying on the ground made muddy by the melted snow. A .410 single shot shotgun was found at his side by Coroner Jack Rowlett, who was called to the scene. There was every evidence of suicide. A preliminary examination by the coroner showed that the gun was fired in McKee's mouth, the charge from the gun emerging from the top of his head.
Mr. McKee had been living at the home of his sister, Mrs. Henry Swaney on East Fifth street in Maryville.
He was born and reared in Pickering, where his mother, Mrs. Mollie McKee, resides. Mr. McKee saw active service in the World War and was shell shocked while at the front.

Coroner's Jury Holds McKee's Death Suicide. Military Funeral Will Be Held Friday Afternoon at Pickering.
A coroner's jury found that Wallis Clay McKee, who was found dead yesterday afternoon on a road in the northeast part of the city, came to his death from gunshot wounds inflicted by his own hands. The inquest was held at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Price funeral home. Members of the jury were John W. Bookman, I. J. Phipps, O. A. Petty, Cyrus F. Ashford, J. H. Strough and Charles O. Harman.
Witnesses were Mrs. Henry Swaney of Maryville, a sister at whose home Mr. McKee lived, John Lee Cockayne, Joe Arede, Walter Dougan and Robert Westfall. Mrs. Swaney could assign no reason for her brother's act. The other witnesses were the first to arrive at the scene of the shooting and testified to the fact that there were no tracks in the muddy road near the body when they arrived.
Born Near Pickering.
The explosion of the .410 shotgun, which was fired against the right side of the head, caused a concussion and death was instantaneous.
Mr. McKee was born on March 17, 1898, near Pickering. His father, the late William R. [eed] McKee, was a well-known auctioneer of the vicinity. Mr. McKee attended school at Pickering. While he was in South Dakota he was drafted by the army, being inducted June 26, 1918 and discharged from the service on September 26, 1919. The government allowed him compensation for disabilities suffered while in the World War.
In 1929 he was adjudged incompetent in probate court and W. C. Pierce was appointed his guardian.
Since the war he had been in several government and private hospitals for mental and physical treatments. Although no testimony was introduced at the inquest to throw light on the cause of his act, it is thought the suffering from his physical disabilities may have led to the shooting. The gun used was borrowed from a neighbor.
To Have Military Funeral.
Mr. McKee is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mollie McKee, Pickering, eleven brothers and sisters, Mrs. Ward Gray, Mrs. John Loch, Mrs. Alex Swaney, Roy McKee, Claude McKee, Leland McKee, Raymond McKee, Pickering; Charlie McKee, Hopkins; Mrs. Clarence Moore, Lansing, Kan.; Mrs. Henry Swaney and Fay McKee, Maryville, and five half brothers and sisters, Mrs. C. A. Loch and Will McKee, Pickering; Mrs. Ira Loch, Hennessey, Okla.; N. O. McKee, Delmira, Wash.; and Mrs. Joe Everhart, Pasadena, Calif.
A military funeral will be held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Christian church at Pickering. The Rev. Charles Hagee, pastor, will be assisted in the services by the James Edward Gray Post of the American Legion of Maryville, which will provide military honors at the grave. Burial will be in White Oak cemetery, near Pickering. His six brothers will be the pallbearers.

Another Veteran Gone.
Died, at his home in Southeast Maryville, at 5:15 o'clock Sunday morning, July 26, 1903, of hernia contracted in the army, hastened by valvular heart trouble, Charles Wolverton Messenger, aged 60 years, 3 months and 25 days.
Charles Wolverton Messenger was born in Morrow county, Ohio, near Mt. Gilead, March 31, 1843. He was the son of James and Rachel (Corwin) Messenger. His father was a pioneer Baptist preacher of Ohio and his mother was a cousin of Thomas Corwin. He grew to manhood in his native state and received the common school education of the day.
When 18 years old he enlisted in Company E, 26th Ohio Infantry, being mustered in July 4, 1861 at Columbus, Ohio, by Capt. Lyman Parcher. He was discharged from this service on July 2, 1862. He re-enlisted September 15, 1863, in Company A, 12th Ohio Cavalry and was discharged November 22, 1865.
After his return from the army he came to Iowa, settling in Clark county on a farm which his father had bought there before the war. August 3, 1867, he was married to Annie A. Whitaker of Afton, Iowa and settled on a farm 4 miles west of Murray, Iowa, where he lived three years.
In November 1871 Mr. Messenger, with his wife and two children, came to Maryville. They drove part of the way from Creston on the Burlington roadbed, the rails not having yet been laid. Here he engaged in the plastering trade, having finished many of the buildings of Maryville and Nodaway county, working at his trade until about five years ago, when he was compelled to stop on account of ill health.
In January 1872 he was converted and joined the Baptist church in Maryville under the preaching of Rev. G. W. Huntley, the first Baptist pastor here, who died in Dakota only a short time ago. He was an active worker in the church, teaching the Bible class in the Sunday School for 15 years.
The deceased veteran had seven children, several of whom are dead. They were: Marcia M. Messenger, living at home; Frank Willis Messenger, died in Maryville March 18, 1899, aged 29 years; Grace Truman Messenger, died in this city August 24, 1890; Will Spurgeon Messenger, deceased; Charles W. Messenger, deceased; Gertrude Blanche Messenger, now Mrs. A. L. Cutler, living in Kansas City; Walter J. Messenger, employed in the Maryville Republican office; Marcia Messenger Cutler, a grandchild, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cutler of Kansas City. Besides these descendants and his widow, Mr. Messenger is survived by two brothers, Judson Messenger, Sandusky, Ohio; and William Messenger, Newport News, Virginia; and three sisters, Mrs. Philip Aller, Murray, Iowa; Mrs. Mary Power, Thayer, Iowa; and Mrs. Lendall Rowley, Woodburn, Iowa.
Funeral services were held Tuesday, July 28, 1903, at 2 o'clock p. m., at the Baptist church in Maryville, conducted by Rev. I. T. Creek, his pastor, assisted by the members of Sedgwick Post No. 21 G. A. R., of which deceased was a Past Commander, "Lights out" being sounded over his resting place.

C. W. Messenger in Final Rest. Honest Citizen of Maryville Goes to His Reward. Old Resident of This City. Born in Morrow County, Ohio, in 1843—Fought Under Buell in Civil War—Was a Member of Baptist Church—His Life Record.
Charles Wolverton Messenger, a resident of this city for 31 years, a prominent member of the First Baptist church for 30, a master plasterer and member of Sedgwick post, No. 21, G. A. R., died at his home on Edward street Sunday morning at 5:15 o'clock, after a lingering illness of four years which has gradually but surely sapped his strength. Indeed, the family attribute his death to his service in the federal army forty years ago and this is probably the cause, though the immediate fatal illness is attributed to valvular heart trouble. Funeral: Tuesday, in the First Baptist church, Rev. I. T. Creek officiating, assisted by the G. A. R. Interment in Miriam cemetery.
His Civil War Record.
Mr. Messenger was born in Morrow county, Ohio, March 31, 1843, where he lived until after the civil war. As soon as hostilities between the North and South were declared, Mr. Messenger went to Columbus, Ohio and enlisted under Captain Lyman Parcher, his recruiting officer, who by the way, is another old settler of Maryville, having filled the important incumbencies of postmaster and state senator from this district during life. he died nearly a decade ago. Mr. Messenger enlisted first as a private in the Twenty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry in 1871 but became disabled in 1863 and was honorably discharged. After a year spent in recuperating his health in Ohio, he again enlisted, this time in the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry, serving until the close of the war. In connection with his second service, it will be of interest to know that the Twelfth Ohio Calvary raided the Confederate post office at Daytonville, North Caroline after Lee had surrendered in April 1865. The reason for this was similar to the reason which occasioned the battle of New Orleans in 1815—no notification of the declaration of peace and final surrender.
His Life and Marriage.
After being mustered out, Mr. Messenger went to Afton, in southwestern Iowa, where his father, who was a Baptist minister, had purchased a farm the year before the civil war began, he being one of the pioneers of that part of the Hawkeye state. Mr. Messenger engaged in farming for a number of years prior to coming to Maryville in November 1872. August 3, 1867, he married Miss Annie A. Whitaker, the widow who still survives him, in Murray, Iowa, near which town he had lived for the two preceding seasons. The couple took up housekeeping four miles west of Murray and lived there until their removal to Nodaway county. Since his residence in Maryville, Mr. Messenger has been a plasterer, having made the finished walls for many of this city's oldest and some of this town's most ornate buildings and edifices. He was converted to Christianity as exemplified by the Baptist church in 1873. Rev. G. W. Huntley, first pastor of that church here, being instrumental in his conversion. Ever since, with his wife, he has been an earnest Christian worker and for sixteen years taught the Bible class.

Hard on Baptist Church.
In the death of Mr. Messenger the city loses one of its best and most honest citizens and the First Baptist church, which is not very strong in members here, one of the oldest and most faithful workers. The children mourn a kindly father who, by act as well as precept, taught them to live a righteous life.

A Card. From Mrs. Meservey on the Death of Her Husband.
Editors Republican.
Allow me through your columns to make public a few things concerning the death of my late husband, Wm. M. Meservey. He escaped from the Asylum at St Joseph on the 13th last, in shirt sleeves and without hat. He wandered around until the 17th inst. without food or sufficient clothing to protect him. He was hunted down by those who knew not what they did and was finally shot and died among strangers.
Dr. Catlett was informed same day of shooting but failed to inform his family so he had to die without a familiar face near him or wife or children to sooth his dying moments. He was conscious he was dying and told those around him he had a wife and two children and that he had lived at Maryville, Missouri and was in lumber business when there, also said he was from the Asylum at St. Joseph. The citizens dispatched to Dr. Catlett, thinking if he had friends, he would know the whereabouts and inform them. But he was doomed to suffer and die without wife or family knowing. Feeling that our loss is his eternal gain, should submit to the sad bereavement. But the manner of his death was so terrible, I feel it is more than I can bear. Who could bear up under such troubles but by the will of God? Mrs. Wm. M. Meservey.

--Mr. L. [evozier] Moore, of Hughes township, departed this life on last Saturday night after a painful illness of some four or five months. His disease was cancer of the stomach, which in conjunction with Bright's disease of the kidneys, terminated his life. Mr. Moore was in the prime of life and one of Nodaway's most respected citizens. His remains were laid to rest in Graham cemetery on Sunday, Rev. Showalter, preaching the funeral sermon.

UPPER ELKHORN – Sorry to hear of the death of our old friend L. Moore, who was buried on last Sunday. He was a good citizen, a kind husband and parent, but we must all submit to the will of heaven.
[MOORE, LEVOZIER]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, September 1, 1881
Obituary – Died at his residence in Hughes township, three and one half miles east of Graham, Mo., July 30, 1881. Levozier Moore was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, March 17, 1830. When four years old his parents removed to Perry county, Ohio. At the age of two his father died leaving a large family of children. They remained together until August 1843 [?], when his mother and two sisters died, breaking up the family. He was converted and joined the M. E. church in the winter of 1849 and lived a faithful Christian until his death. Was married to Jane C. Chappelear, of Morgan county, Ohio, October, 1850. In 1852 removed to Morgan county, from there to Andrew county, Mo., in 1868, from there to Nodaway county in the spring of '69, where he resided until death claimed him. Was the father of nine children, seven sons and two daughters. Three sons and one daughter preceded him to the better land. He was sick about five months. During the latter part of his sickness his suffering was very great, yet while his body was racked with pain he loved to talk of heaven, a home beyond, where there is no pain nor death and where sorrow never comes. He seemed conscious of his death. When his friends would tell him they thought he was better, he would say, "It may be, but I don't think I will be with you long, the Lord's will, not mine be done." On Friday evening before his death he called his family around him, took each one by the hand, bid them farewell and asked them to meet him in heaven. His funeral was preached at the family residence by Rev. Showalter of the Methodist church at 2 P. M., Sunday, after which his remains were followed to their last resting place in the Prairie Home cemetery at Graham, by friends and neighbors. In his death the broken-hearted wife has lost a faithful and devoted husband and the children a kind and affectionate father. May they in this trying hour, look, as did their dear father, to Him who alone can cure the broken heart. [Poem not transcribed.]

Died in Her Husband's Arms.
Rebecca, wife of Solomon Moss retired to her bed on Sabbath evening the 1st inst. and for all that was known, slept soundly until dawn of day, when her companion was awakened by a low gurgling sound that apprised him that she was almost "on the bright shore." He quickly raised her in his arms—one deep drawn breath and all was over. The imprisoned spirit had gone whence no traveler since the Lord, has ever returned. One farewell word of parting adieu or one passing look would have been an immortal legacy. But death came in the silent hour when its victim was wrapped in repose and without a cry of pain or touch of warning, claimed his own and left upon the features of the slayer the beautiful shades of peaceful slumber that had so recently folded its arms around her. As we gazed on this calm face we could not help but ask is this death. Sister Rebecca Moss was born in the State of Ohio, January 9th, 1826. Her maiden name was Draper. She was united in marriage to Solomon Moss, July 1st, 1843. Died June 2d, 1879. She was the mother of thirteen children, twelve of whom are now living.
Many friends came to weep and follow to the grave. A few words of comfort were attempted to be spoken by the writer from psalms l, 15 and 16. [Poem not transcribed.] L. D. Cook.

Death of an Old Settler.
The subject of this sketch, Solomon Moss, was born in Trilby county, Ohio, December 28, 1820. Died March 11, 1903, age 82 years, 2 months and 13 days. When but a small boy he moved with his parents to Illinois, then a new country, where he grew to manhood.
He was married to Rebecca Draper July 10, 1843. To this union were born 13 children, of which three have joined the silent majority long years ago. The living are as follows: Celinda, wife of Riley York, Kansas; Angeline, wife of John Mow, Colorado; Samuel J., Melvern, Kan.; Sarah E., wife of Matt Birdwell, Washington; Amildora, wife of Allen Griffin, Oklahoma; Benjamin F., Brookfield, Mo.; Thomas J., Maryville; Clara R., wife of Ed Austin, Kansas; John W., Ravenwood, Mo., and Dora M., wife of O. W. Perley, Omaha.
In 1857, with his family, he moved to Nodaway county, Missouri and settled on Honey Creek, on what is now known as the Sherman farm, one mile west of the Lanning mill, at that time a bleak and desolate country with few neighbors but with a determination to make a home in the then far distant west. He battled with all the obstacles that beset the early pioneer. It was to such men as he that we owe our broad cultivated acres and magnificent stately mansions. Had it not been for these early pioneers who blazed the way for civilization, this country would be in an uncultivated state today. In 1865 he sold his Honey Creek farm and bought one on the Casteel Ridge and moved to same. In 1879 he lost his wife and on September 7, 1880, he married Mrs. Mary Smith, who still survives him. In 1896 he moved from the farm to Ravenwood, where he lived until his demise. He has been a member of the Christian church for over 50 years.
He was visiting relatives at Melvern, Kansas, at the time of his death. His remains were shipped back home for burial. He resided in Nodaway county 45 years and gave the land for the Honey Creek cemetery where he was laid to rest. Elder O. W. Lawrence of Maryville officiated. A large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting place. The wife and children are bereft of a kind husband and father. The people will miss the old landmark who has more than rounded out his three score years and ten, which is the allotted time of man. All honor to the old pioneers. Peace to his ashes.

Obituary- On the morning of Nov. 24th the dark angel of death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marcellus Moss of Bridgewater and bore away their oldest child, little Nora Susie, a bright interesting little girl of eighteen weeks, suffering intensely almost constantly yet she bore it all with a patience and fortitude that was astonishing in one so young. It seems to our earthly eyes a dark dispensation of Providence that so fair a flower should be cut down and to the parents it was a most crushing blow, but may they remember that "Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth," and that "He doth not willingly afflict." She is safe in the arms of Jesus and safe from the world's temptations. It is with almost a restful feeling that we think of our loved and lost little ones, when remember that they are perfectly happy; a condition they could never reach in this vale of tears. Dearly beloved as little Nora was who would bring her back if power was given them from the many mansions and golden streets of the Heavenly City: I do not believe any of us would for she has gone to be with Christ which is far better.

Death of Dr. Mulholland. At Sisters Hospital in St. Louis, of Water on the Brain.
On last Thursday evening the sad intelligence was wired to friends in this city that Dr. Mulholland was dead. For some time he had been afflicted with symptoms which indicated softening of the brain and he went to St. Louis with hopes of finding relief, but despite medical skill and excellent nursing he received at the Sisters Hospital in that city, he sank rapidly into a state of helplessness in which condition he remained until death claimed him. Although it was generally known that his condition was critical, no one thought the dread messenger hovered so near and it was with feelings of genuine grief that the news was received in this city, for the Doctor had many friends in this city in all classes of society. Mr. A. T. Ellis left on Thursday evening for St. Louis and returned with the remains on Saturday morning. The funeral occurred on Sunday, the sermon being preached by Father Pembroke of the English speaking Catholic church, of which deceased was a prominent member. The remains were laid to rest in the Catholic burying ground of this city and were escorted thither by St. Mary's Irish American Catholic Benevolent Society, of which he was an honored member and also all the physicians of the city. The procession that followed the Doctor's remains to the burying ground was the largest ever witnessed by the writer in this city.
Dr. Mulholland was born in Cookestown, County Tyrone, Ireland, December 23, 1831, where he received a thorough education and emigrated to America in early manhood. He first settled in Andrew county and taught school for a livelihood and devoted his leisure hours to the study of his chosen profession, medicine. He attended the St. Louis Medical College during the winters of 1858-9, and graduated at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1880. In 1859 he was united in marriage to Miss Cynthia A. [nn] Prather, daughter of Col. Isaac Prather. He moved to Maryville about 1860 and engaged actively in the practice of medicine. He was for many years connected with the drug house of Ellis & Prather. As a physician, he ranked with the first in the land and as a private citizen he was universally respected. Although he had faults and who has not? he was warm hearted and charitable to a fault and many poverty-stricken people have cause to bless the name of Dr. Mulholland.
He leaves a wife and four sons to mourn his death.
[MULHOLLAND, DAVID]
Maryville Times (Maryville, Missouri), Friday, September 29, 1882
Dr. David Mulholland – In the death of Dr. Mulholland Maryville loses her oldest physician. For nearly a quarter of a century he resided here and in that time he endeared himself to hundreds by his kindness and by his skill he had in the treatment of the sick and the afflicted. To everyone in the city and to many throughout the county, he was a familiar figure, and its absence will be the quickest marked. As a citizen he was respected, and his loss is a double one; for in his death the eminent professional man and a patriotic citizen is taken away. He died in St. Louis, Thursday, at 6 o'clock p. m. of softening of the brain. Dr. Mulholland was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland. Had he lived until the 23d of next December he would have been 52 years old. In 1856 he came to Andrew county and the following year to this county. in the years of '58 and '59 he took medical lectures at the St. Louis Medical College and in 1860 he graduated with high honors at the then famous Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. He leaves a wife and four sons. His remains arrived here Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon his funeral took place from St. Patrick's church.
[MULHOLLAND, DAVID]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, September 28, 1882
At Rest. Death of Dr. David Mulholland.
Again has the angel of death been in our midst and claimed for his own one who was in the prime of life. Dr. David Mulholland is dead.
About two months ago, while walking the streets of Maryville, the deceased fell over in an apoplectic fit. He recovered from the effect of this stroke sufficiently to walk out, but never seemed to fully recover the use of his faculties again. With a view to placing him under the best medical care he was taken to St. Louis, under the charge of his old friend, A. T. Ellis, and placed in the Sister's Hospital where he received every care and attention.
Here for a few days he seemed to get better and accompanied one of the doctors of the hospital on his visits to his patients and would frequently comment on the condition of the sick and suggest remedies for their benefit. He again got worse, however, and about ten days before his death lost his mind and had to be guarded to prevent his tearing his clothes from his body. During these ten days he never had any lucid intervals. Death came to his relief, Thursday evening, September 21st, his disease being softening of the brain. His remains were brought to Maryville in charge of A. T. Ellis the following Saturday morning where they were viewed by hundreds of his old friends.
Sunday, September 24th, his funeral services were conducted by Father Pembroke at the St. Patrick's church of this city where a large concourse of people, including St. Patrick's I. A. C. B. society in regalia, of which he was a member, assembled to pay a last tribute of love and respect to the departed. His remains were followed to their last resting place in the Catholic burying ground of this city by what was probably the largest funeral cortege ever seen in Nodaway county, thus showing the hold the deceased had in the affections of the people.
David Mulholland was born December 23, 1830, at Cooks Town, county Tyrone, Ireland, and would have been fifty-two years of age the 23d of next December. He came to this country in 1857 and made his home in Missouri, following the occupation of a school teacher. He taught school with success both in this and Andrew county that year. In 1858 and 1859 he attended the St. Louis Medical College and in the winter of 1859 and 1860 attended the Jefferson College of Philadelphia where he graduated as a M. D. He at once entered upon a lucrative practice in this county and ranked as one of the best physicians in the state.
In 1859 he was united in marriage to Scynthia Ann Prather, a daughter of Col. I. N. Prather, from which union there was born eight children—five boys and three girls, four of whom, James, Charley, Harry and George are now living.
The hundreds of homes in Nodaway county where Dr. Mulholland has treated the sick for more than twenty years past will hear of his death with sorrow and it is safe to say no man in the county had more friends than he. He had a warm generous heart and never failed to respond to the call of rich and poor alike and though we will never see his familiar face again, his memory will ever be green in our hearts.

His neighbors feel his loss deeply and it will be long before his place is supplied. Mr. Murray's disease was typhoid pneumonia. He died last Sunday and his funeral services took place at the Christian church in this city on Monday. A good man has fallen and another of Nodaway's noblest citizens has been taken away. To the afflicted family we extend our deepest sympathy. May He who gives and He who taketh away comfort them.
[MURRAY, ELIZABETH FISHER]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, February 26, 1880
