Maryville Man Kills Wife and Suicides
Murder and Suicide Committed Last Wednesday Evening
Writes Letter to People Giving Reasons for Killing—Wife's Parents Reside at Shenandoah—Threatened to Kill Self Before Double Tragedy
Maryville, March 11 – Albert G. Beeks last night killed his wife and then killed himself, shooting the woman in the forehead, the bullet ranging down through the brain and shooting himself in the head just back of the right ear.
The murder and suicide occurred at 11 o'clock last night in a room over the Star theatre on the north side of the square.
Fred Claycomb, who occupied a room just back of the one used by Beeks and his wife, heard the shots, but did not tell the officers of the circumstance until 6 o'clock this morning. He said that just previous to the shooting he heard the man say, "Now, if you have anything to say, say it." Then followed the shots—and quiet.
When Sheriff Edwin Wallace, the coroner, Dr. Will Wallis and the prosecuting attorney, Will G. Sawyers, this morning went to the room where the tragedy had been enacted they found the body of the woman lying on a couch and the body of the man was lying on the floor. By the man's side was a revolver with two empty chambers. The woman was dressed in her night clothes. Beeks was fully dressed.
The woman in the case was a public character about town, known as Mandy Vance. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Spurlock of Shenandoah, Iowa. They were married in this city last fall and had been living in the rooms over the Star theatre since that time.
Albert Beeks was born at Ridgeway, Harrison county, Mo., and a brother living there has been notified of his death.
Sheriff Edwin Wallace notified relatives of the dead woman at Shenandoah and the dead man's brother at Ridgeway and it is expected they will arrive this evening to take charge of the bodies. The bodies were removed to the Price & McNeal undertaking parlors this morning and prepared for burial.
Beeks had been telling for several days that he was going to kill himself but it does not appear that he had threatened the life of his wife. He had professed great devotion for her and was grief stricken because of her waywardness.
The following letter was found in the dead man's pocket and explains the reason for killing.
Maryville, Mo., Mch 10, 1915. To the Maryville Tribune and to the people:
"I met and married a girl by the name of Mandy Vance. I married her because I loved her, and I still love her better than my life. That is the reason why I will kill her and then kill myself. We got along happily together until . . . I will end my life trouble with a bullet. I hope God will forgive my little wife. For myself I guess I am lost. I have a brother living at Ridgeway, Mo. My wife's folks live at Shenandoah, Iowa, their name is Spurlock—Clarence Spurlock. My name is Albert G. Beeks. Good-by friends."

--It is the sorrowful task of the Gazette upon its first issue to chronicle the death of one of Barnard's most esteemed and generally loved ladies—Mrs. Thomas H. Beggs. After a lingering illness of two months, her sufferings were ended by the white-winged messenger of death last Sunday afternoon and the pure spirit of a lovely woman took its flight to the God who gave it. The death of this lady is a severe loss to Barnard. She was one of the brightest lights of its society and was known and loved for miles around and she died without an enemy in the world. It is a sad task to chronicle the death of one so universally esteemed. The lady had long been a resident of this section and numberless friends join with the bereaved husband in passing under the chastening rod. Last Monday afternoon the deep-toned bell tolled the age of the loved and lost and as its thrilling vibrations echoed on the air, they sent a pang of sorrow to every heart that was in hearing. About five o'clock the funeral cortege took its way to the silent city of the dead. As the lengthening shadows fell, the remains of the loved one were laid tenderly to rest in their long, narrow home, to sleep in undisturbed repose until the last, great day when all shall be summoned to appear before the great white throne. As the last sad rites were ended, the rays of the low descending sun touched the new made mound with a golden light, as though lingering fondly over the spot. There let her rest in silent slumber, undisturbed by the noisy whirl of the busy world above her and the gentle winds of summer singing a low requiem, and the silver stars watching over her repose. --- Barnard Gazette.

Old Settler Gone.
Death has once more laid his hand on one of Nodaway's old settlers, this time in the person of Mrs. Annie Bennett. Mrs. Bennett was born in Crawford county, Pennsylvania, on the 6th of January 1843 and died at her residence in Northeast Maryville, Saturday, October 2, 1897, being 54 years, 8 months and 26 days old.
Mrs. Bennett was the daughter of Benjamin Betts, an old time resident of this county. With her father, mother, and the rest of the family, she left Pennsylvania in the year 1855 and came to Polk county, Iowa, where she lived until the death of her mother 3 years later. At the age of 15 this motherless girl took charge of a family of seven, the youngest a girl baby only 9 months old. With unswerving fidelity to her dying mother's charge and to her sick father, she took upon her hands all the duties of the household and never resigned her charge until the children were all grown.
In 1872 she married Daniel Bennett of Sweet Home, by whom she had one child, Edgar, who survives her. Ten years of married life and Mrs. Bennett was left a widow and since that time her life has been passed principally on her farm, six miles east of town. In those years of widowhood Mrs. Bennett was a hard worker, many times taking a man's place in the field, working on with one object in view, that of clearing the farm of debt, that her only child might have a home after she was gone. This she finally accomplished but her health was so shattered that she sold the farm and moved to Maryville last spring.
Mrs. Bennett united with the M. P. church about nine years ago and died in the triumphs of faith. She was taken with her last sickness about three years ago and patiently suffered agonies, saying that if it was the Lord's will to take her, she was ready to go. All that human skill and loving hands could do was done but all to no avail and on Saturday morning, October 2, at 7:30, her spirit took its flight; in her case it was a blessed change.
Mrs. Bennett leaves one son, Edgar, also five brothers and two sisters, to mourn her loss, besides hosts of friends. She was laid to rest in the Oak Hill cemetery, 5 miles east of town, on Sunday, October 3, 1897, and the enormous gathering of friends and old neighbors showed the respect in which she was held.
[Note: Nodaway County Marriages gives the marriage date as February 9, 1873.]

Mrs. Ann Bennett – Mrs. Ann Bennett, aged 54, daughter of Benjamin Betts, late of this county, died at her home in Maryville October 24 of inflammation of the bowels. Mrs. Bennett was married to Daniel Bennett in 1872 [1873] and had been a resident of Nodaway county for many years.

Requiescat in Pace
Another of Nodaway's Prominent Citizens Gone to Rest
Death, in all his awful majesty, has again been in our midst, this time selecting as victim one of our old and prominent citizens, in the person of Mr. Daniel Bennett.
Mr. Bennett was born in Warren county, Ohio and moved when a boy, with his father, to Edgar county, Illinois, from whence his emigrated to California during the gold excitement of '49. Returning to Missouri eleven years later, he has since made Nodaway county his home, living an honest, upright life; a quiet, law abiding citizen; a kind, indulgent father and husband and a firm friend in time of need, being a few of his many good qualities. Mr. Bennett was married twice, the first time March 15, 1863, to Miss Martha Armilda Bassford [Basford], by whom he had four children, three of whom are now living. His first wife died January 26, 1871. In 1873 he married Mrs. Annie McClure, by whom he had one child, who now lives with the rest of his family to mourn his loss. Mr. Bennett had been afflicted for some time with disease of the heart and on the morning of February 6, 1883, he passed quietly away without a struggle, aged 53 years, 11 months. He goes to his last resting place regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances and his family are inconsolable for his loss which has come upon them so suddenly. For him the veil of the future is rest and the great unknown is no longer a mystery. May the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, be with the bereaved ones in this hour of trial and may they have the consolation of realizing that in laying him down in his long, last sleep; it is in the sure and certain hope of joyful resurrection.
"For I am fully persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord." – Romans VII.  [Poem not transcribed.]

MT. AYR - It is with regret that we announce the death of Edgar Bennett who breathed his last Monday morning near six o'clock. He had been in poor health for some time, although not confined to his bed more than about three weeks. He passed away very quietly, we learn. We visited Edgar several times during his sickness. His death was expected before it occurred. Funeral services were conducted very ably by Rev. Leonard at Oak Hill cemetery then his remains were laid to rest by the side of his mother, who preceeded him to the grave.

Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, June 23, 1898
Died on Monday, June 13, 1898, at 6:15 a. m., in Mt. Ayr neighborhood, of consumption, Edgar Earle Bennett, only child of the late Mrs. Anna Bennett, aged 21 years, 5 months and 24 days.
Edgar's sickness dates back about one year, when at the time of the high water he had the misfortune to get himself, horse and buggy into Platte river, having to stay in the cold water over an hour, until a boat could be brought from 8 miles above to rescue him and his horse. After this accident, Ed's health failed rapidly. After his mother's death he made his home with his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Inman.
During the months of October and November of last year he went with his aunt to Pasadena, California, thinking the genial climate there might benefit him, but after a stay of a month or so he wanted to come back, being as he termed it, "homesick for old Missouri." He afterwards tried Nebraska, but from the start, neither climate nor medical skill seemed to avail anything against the dread destroyer that crushed out his young life just as he was entering manhood. A more affectionate or kind hearted boy never lived, as he said himself, "If he had an enemy in the world he did not know it." Like all young people he wished to live, but after he found his case was hopeless, he bravely faced death, only praying that he might not choke to death. Spiritually, Ed was all right and died peacefully trusting in a Savior's love.
The remains were laid to rest in the Oak Hill cemetery, 7 miles east of town, by the side of the mother he loved so well.

One by One They Pass Away
On Thursday, March 15th, the members of the Betts family were summoned by telegraph to the residence of their father in Chanute, Kansas. Mr. Taylor Betts took the train from Maryville, and on arriving at Chanute, found his father past all human aid and after a day and night of sorrowful watching the spirit of Benjamin Betts winged its flight from this world of pain and sorrow to the realms of everlasting day. Numbers of friends will remember the genial disposition and kindly soul of our old friend and neighbor who was long a resident of Nodaway county and the sympathy of all is extended to the family in their bereavement.

Mr. Benjamin Betts was born in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, June 24th, 1815; was married in 1836 to Miss Leah Haugh of Crawford county Pennsylvania by whom he had nine children, eight of whom are now living. He moved from Pennsylvania to Ashtabula county, Ohio, in 1853, from thence to Polk county, Iowa, in 1854, where his wife died in 1860. He then moved back to Illinois and from that State to Nodaway county, Mo., in 1870.

Gone Home: Death of Mrs. Wm. Burnett.
At 3 P. M. the 25th inst., at the Quitman cemetery, all that was mortal of Bessie, wife of William H. [enry] Burnett, was consigned to mother earth. For three weeks prior to her death, she had been ill and at intervals confined to her bed. On Thursday of last week her condition became dangerous and critical, gradually sinking until the following Monday, when her spirit quietly took its flight. On Tuesday morning, at the family residence four miles northwest of Dawson, the funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. M. Wallace, his theme being, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord" from which he preached a most convincing and affecting sermon to the kind friends and neighbors who came to pay the last act of respect to the dead and speak words of cheer to the afflicted. She leaves a husband and three little ones to fight alone life's many battles. She bade them good bye, prayed the blessing of heaven might rest upon them, watch over them, and, that she might one day meet them where they could dwell together forever. The caresses of mother and her babies were, oh, so pitiful, it seemed almost cruel to part them. The bonds of affection between mother and those she left behind were so sadly broken. Man can not solve the mysteries of providence. The law of earth is change and decay. The noblest as well as the chief end of man is, indeed, "to fear God and work righteousness." From the first she was impressed with the thought, that life on earth was rapidly coming to a close. The morning of her existence had but recently passed and barely entered upon the middle plane of active life, long cherished hopes but budding into reality, the joys and sorrows of earthly life being more evenly balanced. Her little ones she loved so well gathered about her and her disconsolate companion weeping over her, she must give up all and lie down in death. Surely there is a place in the dim beyond where children will be gathered home to their mothers and all the blood-washed throng will meet to part no more forever. To the bereaved husband and father and mourning friends we extend our sympathy and condolence and trust they may so live that when it shall be theirs to lie down in death, they may have it to say, "I know that my Redeemer Liveth."

The last sad rites were conducted by the pastor of the Gibbon Baptist church, assisted by Rev. Hays. The body was in charge of an escort of Co. A, Second Nebraska volunteers, directed by Lieutenant Sydenham and was buried with military honors.

Obituary: W. H. Burnett.
Colony Free Press.
William H. Burnett, formerly of Colony, died at the home of his son, M. [arcus] V. Burnett, near Ottawa, January 3, 1919. Deceased was born in Wayne county, Iowa, August 9, 1854; moved with his parents to Nodaway county, Mo., when a boy and grew to manhood there. He was married to Bessie Mann, December 24, 1874. Three children were born of this union: Hamilton, who answered the call to his country in 1898, and fell a victim; Marcus, also answered the same call, but was spared to be the support of his father, which he did manfully and without a murmur; Franklin died when a mere child shortly after his mother had been called home.
In 1890, he moved to the state of Nebraska, later moving to Anderson county, Kansas, where he lived some ten years and, the last six years, has made his home with his son Marcus near Ottawa, Kas.
All the medical aid and watchful care was of no avail against that deep rooted disease, leakage of the heart. Thus again we are reminded that Death is sure and none escape; therefore, be ye ever ready. Besides the son, M. V. Burnett, to mourn the death of his father, the deceased had a sister, Mrs. W. C. Short of Ottawa, and three brothers, Lafe Burnett of Denver, Colo.; Henry Burnett of Baxter Springs, Mo., and J. H. Burnett, of Colony.

Henry Campbell Killed by Train
Arkoe Farmer, 64, Struck by Burlington Freight Engine. Body Is Ground to Pieces by Wheels. Was Walking from Barnard to His Home—Locomotive on Short Curve Unheard by Aged Man.
Henry Campbell, an aged farmer, living south of Arkoe, was instantly killed and his body ground to pieces at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when he was struck and run over by the engine on a Burlington freight train, going south from Arkoe.
The accident happened at a point on the track about two miles south of Arkoe, where there is a very short curve. Campbell was not seen by either the engineer or fireman of the train until the engine struck him. His presence on track is unexplainable by the trainmen.
Body Ground to Pieces.
When Campbell's body was taken from under the tender of the engine it was literally ground to pieces. The limbs were severed from the trunk of the body and the trunk cut in two and crushed beyond recognition. The train was running at the rate of about eighteen miles per hour at the time of the accident. The engineer of the train run the engine to Barnard and returned with Lowell Campbell, an undertaker from Barnard, who took charge of the body.
Was Walking Home.
Mr. Campbell had been in Barnard spending most of the day and in the afternoon started to walk back to his farm, which is several miles north of there. It is said he had been drinking during the day.
The shortness of the curve made it impossible for the trainmen to see any one on the track until close upon the object and the supposition is that Campbell did not hear the train coming.
Mr. Campbell was 64 years old and is survived by a wife and several children. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral.

Asleep in Christ. Mrs. Mary A. Chambers lays Down the Burden of Life.
Chronicling the work of the Angel of Death is always sad but doubly so when the victim is a wife, mother, and an earnest worker for the good of society.
It can truly be said a noble life went out when the eyes of Mrs. Chambers closed in death. She died young but her life's work had been well done and it can be said of her, her talent gained ten.
Mrs. Chambers maiden name was Mary A. Maxwell. She was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, October 16, 1844. She joined the Christian church when she was twelve years of age. She received her education at Lodogo Seminary, Indiana. She was united in marriage to Mr. J. W. Chambers September 1st, 1862.
In December 1879 Mr. Chambers removed to Maryville. Mrs. Chambers at once took a high position in society and as a member in her church. As a Sunday school worker she had few equals in the state and her knowledge of the scriptures was wonderful. She was also a fine organist and her sweet voice will always be remembered by those who have heard it in hymns of praise.
Eighteen months ago she was attacked with extreme nervous prostration. The best of medical skill did her no good and at last her reason tottered under the terrible strain on her nervous system. Early in February she was removed to the asylum at St. Joseph for better treatment. She grew better and her family and friends grew glad with the hope that she would be fully restored to them. But on Tuesday of last week she took a severe cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia and on Sunday at noon she peacefully closed her eyes in death. Her body was brought home and on Tuesday the funeral services took place at the Christian church. The church was filled to overflowing with friends and neighbors anxious to pay the last respects to one so loved.
Rev. Cake preached a powerful and affecting discourse over her remains. She was then laid at rest in Miriam cemetery. She leaves her devoted husband, three children, an aged mother, and two brothers to mourn her loss.
Her loss will be greatly felt by her church and society. But the grief stricken ones mourn not as those who mourn without hope. Mrs. Chambers felt and believed her religion and even when her mind grew clouded her faith never faltered. [Poem not transcribed.]

Life's Troubles Over. Death of Mrs. Mary A. Chambers on Last Sunday.
It is with a deep degree of sympathy for the bereaved relatives and family that we record the death of Mrs. Mary A. Chambers, wife of J. W. Chambers, Esq., of this city. She had not enjoyed good health for a year or two past and her bodily ailments finally affected her mental powers and for the past three months she has been an inmate of Lunatic Asylum No. 2, at St. Joseph, though had her physical health improved there is but little doubt that her mind would have been restored; but as ardently as this was desired on the part of loving relatives and especially on the part of a devoted husband and three dutiful and affectionate children, fate seems to have ordained that this natural hope should not be realized. Mr. Chambers, who has ever been most faithful and constant to his afflicted wife, received word about the middle of last week that she was worse and at once went to St. Joseph. She had caught cold which developed into a kind of pneumonia and on Sunday last, about the hour of noon, the end came. Shall we say the end of life? Or, rather shall we say, the beginning of real life in the beautiful home of the soul? This is the Christian's hope. This was the hope of Mrs. Chambers, for she was a truly a pious and Christian woman. Her husband and children while they sorrow, do not sorrow as those without hope. Their love for wife and mother was too great, too strong, and is too enduring to be severed by the great mysterious change called death. Ah, yes! Love survives the tomb. Its chord reaches from earth to the blissful Summerland in the hereafter. It never dies, no never.
The remains of the deceased were brought from St. Joseph to Maryville on Monday's 10:40 train. The funeral services were held at 3:30 o'clock on Tuesday at the Christian church in this city, conducted by Rev. Cake, after which her mortal remains were consigned to the grave in Miriam cemetery.
Mrs. Chambers was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, October 15, 1844. Her maiden name was Mary A. Maxwell. Her mother lives at Mr. Chamber's. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers were married in 1865. They have three children—Wm. H., aged 16 years; Wiona G., aged 14 years and Mary E., aged eleven years. Until her affliction came upon her, Mrs. Chambers was a model of true womanhood. She made friends of all with whom she came in contact. During her long illness she was the recipient of the heartfelt sympathy of all who knew her, whose sympathy is now extended to the bereaved husband and children.

Tillsberry, of your city, made a few very appropriate and impressive remarks on the certainty of death. Mr. Chenoweth and wife have but lately moved in our vicinity. Though strangers here they have warm, sympathizing friends in this sad hour, and they can take consolation in the Savior's words, "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

--Died of Membranous croup, April 12, 1883, Caddie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Clark. Little Caddie, though but 2 years and 6 months old, was so sweet and sprightly that she had become the center of the warmest affections of all the household and ever elicited the affections of all who beheld her. But death has claimed her now and the sweet voice of Caddie has been hushed; the family circle has been broken, the hearts of parents have been saddened by the call from Heaven for little Caddie to come home and live with the angels. Yes, Caddie, thou hast left us, and among the graves that dot the lonely sleeping place at Skidmore, there is not one which holds in its gloomy vault an object of more tender care. Yet we will see thee again in the sweet by-and-by, where parting is and will be unknown forever. Fathers and mothers will meet their children for the Savior has said "Suffer the little children to come unto me." To His disciples he says "Where I am, ye shall be also." The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. William Cowley, assisted by Rev. S. N. Warner, of Skidmore.

[COFFMAN, SARAH E. BURCH]
Savannah Reporter (Savannah, Missouri), Friday, October 1, 1915
Obituary – Mrs. B. F. Coffman.
Sarah E., wife of B. F. Coffman, was born at Bloomington, Indiana, July 19, 1853, and passed away at her home in Wyeth, September 23, 1915, aged sixty-two years, two months and five days. Her father, Winston Burch, with his family, moved to LaHarpe, Illinois in 1853, when she was but two months old. There three of the family passed away, two sisters dying in infancy, and the only brother, Provine Burch, dying as a soldier of the Civil War, and was buried with military honors in the National cemetery at Memphis, Tenn. The father died May 10, 1880, and the mother, a noble woman, February 22, 1888. The deceased was the second in age of six sisters who grew to womanhood and the first to pass away in death. The sisters are Mrs. Josephine Fakes of Pickering, Miss Ella Burch who has, since their mother's death, made her home with the deceased and has been so kind and faithful to all the family; Mrs. Ollie Helm, of Rifle, Colo., Mrs. R. F. Young of Lathrop and Mrs. Lou Griffith of Tuolumne, Calif. At the age of fourteen Mrs. Coffman united with the Christian church and has lived a faithful Christian life, never doubting the future. October 2, 1872, she was united in marriage to Benjamin F. Coffman, to whom she has been a true and faithful wife. Four children were born to them, one of these, Willie E., died at the age of five years. Those living are Silas A., of Havensville, Ks.; Mrs. Maude F. Holt of Nevada and Samuel C., of Wyeth. These, together with the husband and father, B. F. Coffman, are left to mourn the untimely death of a faithful wife and mother. For several years she has been in poor health but her condition was not thought to be worse than usual, when, on September 22, she was taken suddenly very ill, lapsed into unconsciousness and 4:20 a. m. the 24th, when death came to her relief. All the family were present when the end came. At 10 o'clock a. m. Sunday, September 26, funeral services were held at the Wyeth church, Elder W. A. Chapman preaching a brief discourse and burial was in Coffman cemetery. A thought to her memory from the family is as follows: "To such a mother, who has directed and curbed our erring footsteps, because of her force of character and devotion, on childhood's pathway, we cannot say good bye, nor farewell, but will ever live with her image and teachings enshrined in memory, as a rescuing monument."

Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, March 22, 1883
By His Own Hand. Wayne Davidson Sends a Bullet Crashing Through his Brain.
The citizens of Lincoln township and the western part of the county were horrified on last Saturday morning to hear that Wayne Davidson, commonly known as Nick Davidson, had committed suicide. At first the report was hardly credited, as Mr. Davidson was the last man one would think of doing such a deed. But the report proved true.
The editor of the Republican being at Burlington Junction and hearing the sad news, procured a horse and buggy and in company with Mr. J. H. Bryant of the Post, drove over to the residence of Mr. Davidson, who resided about three miles west of Burlington Junction.
Arriving at the scene of woe we found Mr. Davidson cold and still in death and his family plunged into unutterable grief. The husband and father who arose strong and vigorous in the morning, lay a heap of clay. The stricken wife lay in another room sobbing with uncontrollable grief surrounded with sympathizing friends. Two or three little boys were wandering about, as if bewildered and lost. . . .
It seems that Mr. Davidson had been quite sick during the night but had, in the morning, appeared as well as usual. After breakfast, he went out to the stable, accompanied by two of his children. He had not been there but a short time when he sent the boys to the house. He then went around to the east end of the stable, climbed a fence, pulled off his cap and gloves, then lay down [on] some hay, reclining his head on his left hand. He then placed a revolver a little above and behind his right ear. Just then, Mr. Thomas Lynn and Mr. Thomas Plunket, who were hunting him to measure some hay, came around the corner of the barn and espied Mr. Davidson over the fence, in the position given. He also saw them and slightly raising his head, said: "Boys, I am going to kill myself!"
Horrified, Mr. Lynn exclaimed, "for God's sake, stop!" But the words were not out of his mouth before the report of the revolver rang out on the clear morning air and a ball went crashing through Davidson's brain. He sank back unconscious and breathing heavily but not dead.
Help was summoned, and he was carried to the house and his terrified family. He lay unconscious until five minutes past twelve when he ceased to breathe, having lived about four hours.
Mr. Davidson was a son-in-law of Esq. D. V. McCrea of Dawson. He was forty-two years of age at the time of his death. He leaves a wife and six children, the eldest a girl, married.
Mr. Davidson is one of the oldest settlers of Nodaway county and has resided on the farm where he died for fifteen years.
Last fall he sold his place and since then he has been looking around considerably and found no place to suit him. He at last concluded to go to Oregon where he has two brothers. He was to have a public sale last Monday and expected to start for Oregon (this) Thursday.
But the idea of leaving his home troubled him and he seems to have borrowed trouble ever since he sold out, telling his wife that their best days were over. But no one thought it was unhinging his mind.
Mr. Davidson is highly spoken of by his neighbors. He was honest, industrious and had a very jovial disposition and on this account, his suicide was more unexpected and of all men, he was the last, one would think of doing such a deed.
He leaves property to the value of $3,000. He was a kind and affectionate husband and father and the blow falling so suddenly, has nearly crazed his wife and children. To them the sympathy of the entire community is given, in this, their terrible bereavement.

Death of John Dean
A Long and Useful Life Closed
John Dean, father of Dr. J. W. and George T. Dean, died April 16th, at the residence of George T. Dean; of apoplexy. Had he lived one more day he would have reached eighty-one years of age, having been born on April 17, 1807, in Clark County, Kentucky. He [was] married to Mary Gardner September 1831, and moved to Gosport, Indiana, in 1834 and lived on one farm thirty-four years. He was a member of the M. E Church about fifty-five years and belonged to the Odd Fellows some thirty years. His wife departed this life a few years since. The funeral services were held at the First M. E Church on the 17th at 1:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. John H. Cox. The large attendance attested the esteem in which he was held in the community. The independent order of Odd Fellows had charge of the burial, and tenderly and lovingly laid away the remains in Miriam cemetery. Mr. Dean was a noble man, lived a long and useful life and died with a Christian's faith. His only children living are J. W. and George T. Dean. How precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

[DEAN, MARY "POLLY" GARDNER]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, May 10, 1883
Passed To Life
Mrs. Mary Dean, the beloved wife and companion of Mr. John Dean for more than half a century, departed this life at 10:30 a.m., on the morning of May 4, 1883 at the residence of her son Dr. J. W. Dean, of this city. She had been suffering for about a month with an ear ailment. On the morning of the day preceding her death, she took much worse and from that time on was not able to speak.
The maiden name of Mrs. Dean was Mary Gardner. She was born August 1, 1810, in Clark County, Kentucky, and was in her 73rd year. She was married to John Dean September 29, 1831, in Kentucky. In 1834 they moved to Indiana and lived there for forty years on one farm. They moved to Maryville in 1869. Mrs. Dean was the mother of five children, the three older of whom are dead. The two living children are George Dean, who lives seven miles west of Maryville, and Dr. J. W. Dean of the city, with whom his parents have been living the past year.
The funeral services were held at two o'clock p.m. on Saturday at the Main Street M. E. Church, conducted by the pastor Rev. J. M. Parker. The deceased had been a true and consistent member of the Methodist church since she was sixteen years of age. After the funeral services, her remains were consigned to the grave in Miriam Cemetery.
Mrs. Dean was a truly Christian woman, of amiable disposition and cheerful nature. While her years grew upon her, seemingly she was as youthful as when a girl. She lived a longer life than allotted to most mortals and a much happier and a more useful one. Nearly fifty-two years had she and her husband lived together in all their congeniality and happiness of two loving souls blended in one; and their separation now is not probably to be very long. The faithful loving wife has gone on before to the Spirit Summerland. From beyond the pearly gates of Paradise comes the echo of her loved voice. The devoted husband in his thoughts and affections are with her in the fairer home above, and he sees the wondrous light upon the supernal pathway growing more and more radiant, and ere long his spiritual vision will be enraptured with a gleam of the angel bridge, luminous in the golden mist of a heavenly sunlight falling upon it and then will there be a reunion of loved ones, and never more shall they be separated. Is this too grand a hope for the Christian man or woman to entertain? To such a(n) one, death simply strips off the soul's earthly garment and puts on an immortal, incorruptible garment fashioned like unto the glorious body of the Son of Man. Christianity inspires such a sublime hope. This is the hope of the aged husband who survives. Wife and mother will be missed from the family circle and this fact draws out the sympathy of the community, but there cannot be the least anxiety as to her future and eternal welfare. All say who knew her that a good woman had been called to her reward.

Called Home. The Spotless Spirit of Mrs. Mary Dean Called to the Realms Above.
On last Friday morning the pure spirit of Mrs. Mary Dean passed from its tenement of clay to the abode of rest in the great beyond. The funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon at the M. E. church by Rev. Parker, who preached a powerful discourse after which the remains of this good woman were laid in the tomb, there to rest until the resurrection morn.
Mrs. Dean was the wife of our old and highly esteemed citizen, Mr. John Dean, and mother of Dr. J. W. and George Dean, two of Nodaway county's most highly esteemed citizens. For over fifty years these old people have walked together through life's vicissitudes, a true wife, a devoted mother and humble Christian woman, ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in distress. Early in life she espoused the cause of Christ and united with the M. E. church, and through all these years her faith never faltered. It may be truly said of her, she was ready when the angel of death whispered, "Come home; thy work has been well done." Let us, dear reader, emulate the life of this good woman.
She died at the residence of her son, Dr. Dean, after a brief illness, from a disease in the head. To her deeply bereaved husband and children, we extend our heartfelt condolence in this dark hour.

Terrible Accident. Miss Martha Eggers Burned to Death.
It is our sad duty to record the death of Miss Martha Eggers, by the most terrible of all the forms which the King of Terrors ever assumes---burning. On Wednesday the deceased, a young girl aged about 18 years, was working at the residence of Mr. James Brooks, her duties requiring her to be close to the hot stove when she suddenly discovered that something was burning. Turning about to see what it was, she found that her own clothing was on fire and she had scarcely made this discovery when her dress broke out in a flame. Mrs. Brooks, who was in the same room, seized a comforter and wrapped it about the young girl, attempted to smother the flames. This failing, Miss Eggers jumped into the bed and sought to extinguish her clothing by wrapping up in the bedding but the latter caught fire and becoming frightened she jumped up and ran out of doors, endeavoring to tear her clothes from her person as she ran. A man at this time ran from a neighboring house with a pail of water which he dashed over her and she was carried into the house. It was then discovered that her clothing was entirely burned off with the exception of a few fragments at the waist and that her flesh was charred and baked almost from the neck to the shoe tops. Mr. Gerard was summoned and did all that was possible for the unfortunate sufferer but was unable to hold out any hope of recovery. The poor girl lingered in terrible agony until Thursday afternoon when death, in kindness, came and ended the misery of her fate. – Hopkins Journal.

On September 28th, 1879, Dr. Estes, received a paralytic stroke, since which time he has been entirely helpless. The Doctor, by his quiet, unassuming manner, gained many friends during his stay in Maryville, who will learn with sincere regret of his death. He was a brother-in-law of C. Q. Smith and Prentiss Hawkins, of this city. The bereaved widow has the sympathy of a large circle of friends in this city in this trying hour.

Gone to His Rest. Death of Elmore E. Evans
The subject of this obituary was born February 19th, 1864, in Lebanon, Boone county, Indiana. He moved from his native state to Nodaway county in May 1874. When twenty-six years of age he was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Catterson who [?] to him a true and noble wife until her death which occurred October 12th, 1881. This was a severe blow to Mr. Evans, whose health soon began to fail. He endeavored to drown his sorrow by engaging in business. He commenced a term of school but was compelled to dismiss it at the end of three months. He then went to Burlington Springs for treatment but received no benefit; he continued to fail rapidly until January 27 when death came to his relief. He was not a member of any church but was a firm believer in Christianity. He leaves four sisters, two brothers, and a child sixteen months old to mourn his death.

Death of Mr. Elmer E. Evans.
Died, Saturday morning, January 27, at six o'clock, at the Corcoran springs, near Burlington Junction, Mo., Elmer E. [llsworth] Evans, aged 28 years 11 months and 8 days of bronchitis and rheumatism.
The subject of this sketch was born in Lebanon, Boone county, Indiana, on the 19th of February 1854. He came to Nodaway county in May 1874 and located in White Cloud township, where he owned a farm at the time of his death. He was married to Miss Jennie Catterson on the 19th of February 1880, his 26th birthday. His wife died the 12th day of October 1881, leaving a babe a few days old. Her loss was keenly felt by him, and it seems he never entirely recovered from it. After her death he came to Maryville and erected two dwellings which he rented. Early last fall he began a term of school near Pickering and had taught three months, being indisposed in health all that time, having bronchitis and rheumatism. On the 20th of December he had quite a bad attack; as soon as he sufficiently recovered he went to the mineral springs near Burlington Junction, to seek benefit from the use of the mineral waters. He remained at the springs until his demise which occurred at the time above stated. Death came on so gradually he hardly realized it so near. His last words were, "I think I am going to faint; give me something quick." He was a firm believer in the Christian religion but never had made any profession. He had a preference for the Predestinarian Baptist denomination. He leaves four sisters and two brothers and the little babe now nearly sixteen months old.
Mr. Evans was an exemplary young man in every respect and it is peculiarly sad that he should thus be cut down in the prime of a useful, honorable life.
A legion of friends mourn his early death but will strive to keep on perpetual record in their memories his many virtues of head and heart.

[FINNEY, ESQUIRE D. "SQUIRE"]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 19, 1883
--Squire Finney, of Skidmore, departed this life last Sunday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, after a week's sickness of congestion of the stomach and bowels. Funeral services were held at 10 o'clock Tuesday at the M. E. Church, south, at Skidmore, conducted by Rev. H. C. Bolen, after which the remains of Mr. Finney were followed by a large procession to Graham where they were interred. He leaves a wife and one child. Mr. Finney was born in Troy, New York, in 1842. At the age of fifteen he moved to Morrison, Illinois. He came to Nodaway county fifteen years ago, and lived on a farm east of Skidmore until that town was laid out when he built the Finney house and has been keeping hotel since. He was highly esteemed, and his death has cast a gloom over the community. During his funeral services, the business houses of Skidmore were all closed. He was honorable and upright and his taking off deprives the community of a good citizen and a devoted wife of a loving husband. The highest eulogy that can be pronounced on a departed fellow mortal is that he was a good man, and this can truly be said of the subject of this sketch.

Maryville Tribune (Maryville, Missouri), Monday, June 21, 1915
NEW HOPE – Again the death angel has visited our community and taken from our midst Aunt Susan Gooden, who has been confined to her bed for nearly three months, being injured by a severe fall at that time and gradually grew worse until Tuesday morning, when her spirit took its flight to her heavenly Father. Aunt Susan was a great sufferer the last few days of her life but bore it with great patience and never a complaint was heard from her lips. She was a consistent member of the Highland Christian church, living a quiet, everyday Christian life. Although for many years she has not been able to get around very much, her heart was young and active in the work of the church and almost every day she would have something to say of how well she loved her church and loved to go to church. About three weeks ago the writer was sitting by her bedside and Aunt Susan was asking about the Sunday school and in the conversation, she repeated these lines:
"How happy is the man
    Who hath chosen wisdom's ways,
Measured out his span
    To his God, prayer and praise,
His God and his Bible
    Is all that he desires
To happiness and holiness
    He constantly aspires.
"How beautiful," the writer exclaimed. Aunt Susan said, "Get you a pencil and write it down if you want it."
Susan Morehouse, the daughter of William Morehouse, was born in Morrow county, Ohio, May 17, 1831, was married to John Gooden July 4, 1854 and moved to Nodaway county, Mo., in 1856. In 1857 they pre-empted the land where Joe Maier now lives and lived there until 1882 when they went back to Ohio and Illinois for several years, returning to this neighborhood about 1867, after which they soon moved near St. Joseph, where they lived for seven years when Mr. Gooden died. She then made her home with her father until his death in 1897 when she moved to the home where she has since lived. She took Susie Graybill at her mother's death and gave her a mother's care and in her declining years Susie and her husband, M. D. Young, gave to her the care and affection a son and daughter should give a mother. She leaves one sister, Mrs. Priscilla Strawn of Hopkins, besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn her departure. Funeral services were conducted at the home Wednesday afternoon, June 16, by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Brown, and burial took place in the Morehouse cemetery by the side of her father, William Morehouse. Those who attended the funeral from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Ed McCumber and daughter, Mabel; Mr. and Mrs. Lee McCumber and daughter from Elmo; Mr. and Mrs. Perry Tinnel of Bradley, Mo., Anna Sharp of Bedford, Amos Riley of Parnell and Mrs. and Mrs. Herman Hull of Maryville.

Mrs. C. W. Harris – Mary E. [lizabeth], daughter of J. [oseph] M. [iller] and Amanda Wallace, was born May 31, 1854, at Knoxville, Tenn. In the fall of 1854 the family moved to Nodaway county, Mo., where she grew to young womanhood. On Dec. 31, 1870, she was united in marriage to C. [harles] W. [arren] Harris.
Unto this union ten children were born. Four died in infancy. She is survived by her husband, C. W. Harris, two sons and four daughters, Z. A. Harris, C. D. Harris, Mrs. Charles Sweet and Mrs. J. J. Brown, all of Blackwell; and Mrs. H. B. Eaton of Cherokee and Mrs. F. P. Mathews of Peebles, Ohio; twenty-three grandchildren and eight great grandchildren; two brothers and one sister, J. M. Wallace, Maryville, Mo.; C. R. Wallace, New Market, Iowa; and Mrs. J. Thocker [Thacker], Burlington Junction, Mo.
In 1893 Mr. Harris made the race into the Strip and soon thereafter moved his family onto the homestead at Walnut Grove in Alfalfa county. In 1914 the family moved to Blackwell. She, as well as her husband, belonged to lines of those early pioneers which have played a large part in the development of this country and experienced the hardships common to the pioneer life. She was a devoted wife and wonderful mother and with it all, a sincere Christian, having confessed her faith in Christ when nine years of age, becoming a member of the Baptist church. In 1892 she united with the Christian church and on moving to Blackwell she placed her membership with the Christian church. Devoted to her church, it was her one great desire and wish that her family should share with her the faith in the Savior. She passed from this life July 7, 1928, at her home on West Blackwell avenue.

--On Tuesday the spirit of Mrs Jas. Hartnett was wafted across the river of life. On last Friday she became a mother and her friends thought she was on the sure road to recovery, but the fever came on and soon snapped asunder the brittle thread which held the vital spark in the body. She was a daughter of Jacob Diss and loved and esteemed by all for her many womanly virtues. The young couple had been married about a year and a half and loved each other with a true, lasting devotion. It is a terrible blow to the fond young husband and loving relatives. She was buried yesterday from St. Mary's Catholic church of which she was a faithful member. The grief stricken husband and relatives have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement.

Death of Dr. Francis Impey.
Dr. Francis Impey died at the residence of his son, Charles Impey, at Skidmore, on Thursday morning. The doctor's health has been very poor for the past few months, it being impossible sometimes for him to attend to his regular business. About three weeks ago he fell or slipped down a stairway and fractured his hip bone. Since he has not been able to be out of his bed. He will be taken to Graham, Mo., and buried this afternoon. There is probably no person so well known through out Andrew, Nodaway, Holt and the other counties in this part of the state and so generally esteemed as Dr. Impey. He was a practical physician and surgeon and devoted his entire time and attention to his profession.
Dr. Francis Impey was born in Ireland about the year 1805 but the exact date is unknown. He emigrated to this country in 1843 and settled in Andrew County, Missouri. Here he practiced medicine and accumulated considerable property. In 1847 -8 he served in the Mexican war as first lieutenant in Captain Rogers' company. In the beginning of the rebellion he belonged to what was known as the sympathizers, but later in the war he was a surgeon in the union army. During the war he lost almost all of his property. After the war he lived in Platte county until 1873, when he again moved to his farm in Andrew county. Disposing of his property soon after, he has been living with his two children. He has two sons—Charles, who is located here and is a physician; and Frederick who has a drug store at Graham; two daughters, a Mrs. Wm. Bohart, whose husband is of the firm of Bohart & Co., in business at Maitland and Miss Mollie, who lives at Maitland with her sister. He was buried at Graham.     B.

[IMPEY, FRANCIS]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 1883
Died, at the residence of his son, Chas. Impey, at Skidmore, Missouri, on Wednesday, March 24, 1883, Dr. Francis Impey.
The subject of this sketch was born near Strokestown, county of Roscommon, Ireland, but the date of his birth we are unable to ascertain. He was the youngest of a family of seven, having three brothers and three sisters. His father was a landed proprietor, owning a large estate in that county. He received a military education and also graduated at a school of pharmacy. His father died and the family emigrated to America. Francis came to St. Louis and entered McDowell's Medical College, graduating from that institution in 1844.
He first began practice at Camden, Ray county, and from there moved to Andrew county in the spring of 1846. He was united in marriage, soon after, to Miss Nancy R. Davis, a resident of that county and a native of Virginia; and was all that could be asked of a wife and mother. By their union, six children were born, four of whom survive him; F. W., now engaged in business at Graham; Chas., a practicing physician of Skidmore; Maria, wife of W. B. Bohart, a business man of Maitland and Mollie, residing with her sister.
In 1847, at the beginning of the Mexican war, he entered the U. S. service as first lieutenant of Captain Rodger's company in what was then known as the "Oregon Battalion," and in reality was commander of the battalion. They started from Fort Leavenworth in the fall of 1847 and wintered at old Fort Kearney near Nebraska City. In the spring, the battalion moved westward and erected a fort at what is now Grand Island. The summer was spent in guarding the border and putting down the Indians, who were then on the war path. He, with the rest of the battalion, in the fall, were marched back to Fort Leavenworth and discharged, by reason of the termination of the war.
He returned to Andrew county and resumed the practice of medicine until 1849, when he, in common with thousands of others, was seized with the California gold fever and went in pursuit of the precious metal. He remained there nearly two years and after suffering numerous hardships and meeting with numerous adventures—one of which was being stunned and robbed [words missing] creek by highwaymen—amassed a competency and returned to his home in Andrew county, Mo., and in company with his brother, Elijah, engaged in the mercantile business at Savannah. He continued to practice medicine, his brother having charge of the business.
When the rebellion broke out, he with many others, lost his property. In 1863 he entered the U. S. Service and was commissioned Assistant Contract Surgeon of the U. S. army and stationed at Omaha. He remained there for a time and was then transferred to the Department of the South and placed in charge of Adams General Hospital at Memphis, Tennessee. After serving there some time he resigned and returned North at the close of the war, rejoining his family at St. Joseph, Mo. and removed to Ray county and again began the peaceful practice of his profession. In 1866 he moved to Platte county but not finding everything congenial, returned to Andrew county in the spring of 1868 and after residing on his farm four years, moved to Fillmore in 1872, where he practiced for a short time, and then removed to Graham in 1873 and practiced there until 1881, when he moved to Skidmore, Mo.
For a time before he died he had been in bad health. Some two weeks before his death he met with an accident, suffering a fracture of the neck of the thigh bone which resulted in his death. He was buried in the beautiful Prairie Home cemetery at Graham, Friday, March 23. Rev. B. D. Suther conducted the funeral services in an eloquent and impressive manner which made all more fully conscious of the loss they had sustained.
A large concourse of sorrowing friends followed his remains to their last resting place, to do the last empty honors this world affords to the soulless tenement of clay.
Of his name we need not speak, as he has been an angel of mercy in almost every household in the Platte Purchase. He was the soul of honor, kind and courteous to all and those who knew him best loved him the best. He was an able physician and many a pain torn mortal has cause to bless his timely succor. The earth was never heaped over a truer friend, a kinder father, or a better husband. All unite in giving honor to whom honor is due.
To the bereaved family we offer our sincere sympathy and point them for consolation to Him who doeth all things well, trusting that in the great hereafter, they may meet their loved one in that brighter and better world, where pain and sorrow come no more, and where all is eternal peace.    W. G.

Death of John Jones.
On Monday night an old citizen of Maryville and an old veteran passed into the shadows of the unseen world. John Jones was well known to all of our citizens, having been a resident of Maryville since 1865. Mr. Jones was born at White Chapel, London, England, in the year 1810. He was well connected and still has wealthy and influential relatives in the old country. Mr. Jones seems to have had a predilection for a soldier's life. After four years of constant and careful training, he enlisted when a young man as a musician in the English army. After serving seven years he bought his discharge and in company with a brother, sailed for America, being at this time twenty-three years of age. He at once enlisted in the U. S. service as musician and served through the Seminole war in Florida. He remained in the U. S. service for some years and was all through the Mexican war, serving in the army of Gen. Taylor.
Soon after the close of this war he retired to private life but the clash of arms in 1861
again brought the old soldier to the front and he served all through the civil war. His entire term of service in the U. S. army was twenty-four years.
Mr. Jones was married in Louisiana in April 1842, thus having been married over 41 years. Mr. Jones was the father of seven children, but one by one he laid them in the tomb, until only one daughter survived, and she became worse than dead, for she had to be placed in the living tomb of an insane asylum.
Mr. Jones was an accomplished musician and for years was instructor and leader of the Maryville cornet band.
He was a devout member of the Episcopal church; a devoted and loving husband; his loss will indeed be felt by the afflicted widow. The funeral services took place at St. Paul's Episcopal church on Wednesday, at 2:00 P. M. The impressive funeral service of the Episcopal church was read by the Rector, Rev. Hatch, and a short discourse given and then the old soldier was laid to rest until the reveille of the resurrection morn.

His Warfare Ended. Death of John Jones on Last Monday Night.
John Jones, who has been a resident of this city for the past twelve or fifteen years, departed this life at his home in this city last Monday night at half past ten o'clock, after a week's sickness, which confined him to his bed. Mr. Jones was born in England. He was in his 73d year at the time of his death. He was in the Florida war under Gen. Harney, served through the Mexican war and the war of the rebellion as a musician. He spent some twenty years in the service of his country. For some years past he has been in destitute circumstances and has been an object of charity on the part of the county and some of our citizens who interested themselves in his behalf. For a year or so past he has drawn a pension at the rate of $4.00 per month and prior to his death had made an application for an increase of pension. His is one of the instances wherein a Republic has shown itself ungrateful. Think of a man giving the best twenty years of his life to the service of his country and yet when the end came all that saved him from being buried by the county was that some of his friends circulated a subscription paper for contributions to defray the funeral expenses. The necessary amount was easily raised. Rev. Hatch and Capt. Parcher were the movers in this generous action.
His wife survives him who is quite aged also, with no mean of any consequences for a livelihood. They had one adopted child.
Funeral services were held at the Episcopal church on Wednesday at two o'clock p. m., conducted by Rev. W. A. Hatch. He has been a member of St. Paul's Episcopal church for several years. His remains were buried in the Miriam cemetery.

A Maryville Soldier Dead.
C. P. Kinsey of Company E A Victim of Appendicitis. Died At Falls Church. Was One of the First Men to Respond to the President's Call for Volunteers—His Heroic Resistance of the Illness That Carried Him Off.
Chandler P. Kinsey, one of the brave boys of Company E, Fourth Missouri Regiment, now in camp at Falls Church, Virginia, near the national capital, died Monday, while undergoing an operation for appendicitis.
Mr. Kinsey had an acute attack of stomach and bowel trouble only abut a month before he enlisted, but he appeared to be fully recovered from its effects and no question as to his physical condition was raised by the examining physicians. A short time after the Fourth Regiment went into camp at Jefferson Barracks he became ill again and for two weeks prior to his regiment's departure for Falls Church was in the camp hospital. When marching orders were received he refused to remain behind his company and went on to Washington. On the day the troops were reviewed by President McKinley, the members of his cabinet and the various military men stationed at Washington Mr. Kinsey remained in the ranks throughout the long four hours march. When the review finally ended he was very ill and was ordered to the hospital. Between the time of his departure from Maryville and the time when he went into hospital at Falls Church he lost twenty pounds. His condition, evidently, was serious, but he continued to write encouraging letters to the members of his family, stating that he would recover all right and that he really wasn't very sick after all. None of his relatives had received an intimation that his condition was precarious when a message from Captain I. V. McMillan announcing his death while undergoing an operation was received Monday.
One of the First to Enlist
e first men who signed the roster of Company E in response to President McKinley's call for 125,000 volunteers. He was at his old home in Fillmore, Andrew county, visiting his father the day the call was issued. The next morning he started in a buggy from Fillmore, drove to Maryville and before night had placed his name on the roll of honor. He was one of the most enthusiastic members of the company, and, had not death cut his career short, would undoubtedly have proven one of the most valiant and gallant of Maryville's brave soldier boys.
Was to Have Been Married
Mr. Kinsey had not lived in Maryville long—only a little more than six months—but his high character and manly bearing had won him a warm place in the hearts of many of the city's people. He was a quiet, unobtrusive, self-contained young fellow and Company E did not have on its roster the name of a braver, better boy. The news of his death was received here Monday and was immediately posted on the bulletin boards. It called forth many expressions of sincere sorrow.
Mr. Kinsey had been engaged for some time to Miss Maud McCool of Maryville and it was understood between them that they would be married as soon as he was dismissed from his country's service. It is said that the young lady is almost heartbroken.
Will Be Buried at Fillmore.
The body of young Kinsey will, it is expected, arrive in Savannah Saturday. It is supposed that two members of Company E will accompany it as an escort. The funeral will be held from the Christian church of Fillmore Monday and it is probably Elder C. M. Chilton of St. Joseph will conduct the services. The remains will be laid to rest in the Fillmore cemetery where the mother and an older sister and brother of the young man are buried. It is probably that a number of Maryville people will attend.
Born and Raised in Andrew County.
Mr. Kinsey was born six miles north of Fillmore, Andrew county, twenty-three years ago the 18th of last April and resided there the greater part of his life. His father, Theodore Kinsey, still lives there. He was a brother of Dr. F. A. Kinsey and Miss Jennie Kinsey of Coin, Iowa, who until recently lived in Maryville.
Dr. Kinsey and Miss Jennie arrived in Maryville from Coin Tuesday. The latter went to Savannah Tuesday afternoon, where she was joined yesterday by her brother and they will probably remain there until Saturday.

C. S. Martin and John A. Stewart, Two Well Known Pioneers, Passed Away Wednesday. Were Brothers-In-Law
Within twelve hours Wednesday afternoon and night death came to C. [hester] S.[ehler] Martin, a pioneer Nodaway county merchant and his well known brother-in-law, John A. Stewart, also of Hopkins.
Mr. Martin died Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Excelsior Springs where he had gone for his health a few days before. He was 64 years old. Mr. Stewart died Thursday morning at the Martin home in Hopkins from a paralytic stroke which he had suffered three months ago.
The funeral arrangements for both men are uncompleted.
C. [hester] S. [ehler] Martin was a pioneer business man in Hopkins. In 1871, shortly after the town was organized, he engaged in the hardware business. Before his retirement from business three years ago he was president of the Farmer's and Merchant's Bank of Hopkins and owned two-thirds of the bank stock. He was also the owner of the Martin Lumber Company in addition to his hardware business. Mr. Martin sold his business interests several years ago in order that he might retire to private life.
At the time of his death he was the owner of 400 acres of Ringgold county, Iowa, land and was very wealthy.
For several months he had been suffering from Bright's disease and last Saturday he was taken to Excelsior Springs by wife and son, Archie Martin.
Mr. Martin's parents came from New York to Wisconsin soon after his birth and he was reared in the northern state. In 1871 he moved to Hopkins and shortly afterwards married Miss Mary Stewart, also of Wisconsin. A sister of Mr. Martin, Mrs. Fred Bowman of Huron, Dakota, arrived in Hopkins Wednesday too late to go to Excelsior Springs.
Mr. Martin's brother-in-law, John A. Stewart, is well known in Nodaway county as he is also a pioneer resident, coming to Nodaway county in 1871 from Wisconsin with Mr. Martin.
Early last fall Mr. Stewart returned to his former home in Wisconsin. On his return he suffered a paralytic stroke and was taken to the home of his brother-in-law to remain until he could be taken to his home west of Hopkins.
He did not recover sufficiently to be removed to his farm home and early Wednesday morning passed away.
Mr. Stewart was engaged in the harness business in Hopkins until about 1892 when he removed to Parnell. He lived fifteen years in Parnell and about a year ago moved to a farm west of Hopkins. He had not been engaged in business for many years. He is survived by his wife, a nephew, Sherman Stewart, of Parnell and a sister, Mrs. Wilkerson of Cuba.

The following tribute to Miss Messenger is from Mrs. Anderson Craig:
It has seldom fallen to the lot of a bereaved friend to chronicle a sadder, more regrettable and at the same time the more joyous going home of a weary traveler, than the departure of Miss Marcia Messenger, May 9, 1914, at 10:30 p. m.
Miss Marcia May Messenger, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Messenger, was born February 18, 1868. At the age of 18 she united with Baptist church, during the ministry of Rev. T. M. S. Kenney, who, with her father, brother Frank and sister Grace, have some years since preceded her to happiness and home. Her connection with the church has been one of its richest blessings. A studious learner, a faithful teacher in the Sunday school, a constant communicant and a devoted Christian at all times, her worth has been incalculable. Miss Messenger has been so widely known and so universally beloved, has come in contact with so many persons in every vocation and vicissitude of life that her going will be felt as few others ever will.
During her career of nearly thirty years as a newspaper woman she has come in such close sympathy with all the interests of Maryville educational, religious, civic, politic but more especially the individual and home life. her aspirations, hope and ambitions have been so interwoven with those of her beloved home city that her whole life has been given to its advancement and upbuilding. Going daily on her accustomed rounds of duty, accepting cheerfully new and heavy responsibilities, with no hope or remuneration or expectation of reward, laboring oftentimes beyond her failing strength, what wonder that at the last she should exclaim: "I am so tired, so tired; but I will soon be at rest."
Miss Messenger with all her public duties and private responsibilities, was ever striving for more knowledge, seeking for broader visions and deeper truths, searching for more light. But how truly we believe that at the last, with a glimpse into the sweet beyond, her yearnings were satisfied. The longings of a lifetime were granted and the unfathomless secrets were fathomed and her eager mind set at rest, and although every heart will feel her unspeakable loss, yet by her sweet trust, her unshaken faith in her Heavenly Father, she leaves a gleam of ineffable brightness upon the lives of her sorrowing friends which seems an emanation straight from the throne of God, for after saying, "Brother Hale, I am not afraid; I believe that God is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, I have trusted all in His hands; I believe in Christ and love him. I have no enmity in my heart. I love everybody. Everybody has been so good to me. My friends, the doctors, the Sisters, Father Anselm, all have been so good to me. I shall be in heaven before midnight. Won't that be great!" And then, with her mother and her pastor on either side, holding her dear hands and soothing the agony of her last moments, she exclaimed with a smile lighting up her features, "There, don't you see them, father, sister Grace, brother Frank, Eva (Mrs. Hawkins)? Brother Hale, I have committed all to Him. I am tired—I will soon rest." [Poem not transcribed.]

At Rest.
Mr. George J. Morehead of White Cloud township, this county, departed this life Sunday, April 29th, 1883, after four weeks of painful illness. He was born at Madisonville, Hamilton county, Ohio, April 21, 1839.

He came with his mother to Nodaway county, Missouri, in 1867, and they made their home with Mr. I. N. Swallow until their death. Mr. Morehead was never married. He was a quiet, peaceable man, with no enemies. He was kind and affectionate and loved and respected by all who knew him. There was a strong affection existing between him and his sister, Mrs. Swallow and her children. She and her husband gave him the most untiring attention to his every want during all his sickness. He was attended by Drs. Still and Morrison. His funeral was to have been preached by Rev. Huston at I. N. Swallow's but the minister was prevented by the rain. He was laid in his last resting place in Miriam cemetery, Maryville. The neighbors of the family extend to them the heartfelt sympathy in this their great bereavement.

Dr. G. A. Nash Dies
Physician, 66, Succumbs This Morning at Hospital. Hold Funeral Sunday. Death Follows Operation for Cancer—Practiced Medicine in This City Thirty-Six Years.
Following a serious illness of three weeks, Dr. George Allen Nash, one of the most widely known physicians in northwest Missouri, died at 2:30 o'clock this morning at St. Francis hospital.
Dr. Nash had been failing in health for the past three years. During this time he kept constantly at his work never relaxing until a few weeks ago when his condition made it imperative. At that time, several other physicians were called in consultation, Dr. Nash's malady was found to be carcinoma of the pancreas and his symptoms were grave. An operation was decided upon, and he went to St. Francis hospital, where he underwent an operation on December 17. He rallied from the effect of the operation and for a time slightly improved, although the physicians in attendance realized that his ultimate recovery was impossible.
Dr. Nash came to Maryville in April 1879 and engaged in a general practice of medicine. He had been continuously in practice in Maryville since that time with the exception of a few periods which he spent in attending lectures and taking special study to advance himself in his profession.
Dr. Nash devoted special attention during all his years of study and practice to surgery and for the past ten years had practiced surgery exclusively gradually giving up his general practice.
For twenty years Dr. Nash had been chief surgeon of St. Francis hospital and was also local surgeon for the Wabash and C. B. & Q. railroads. Thru Dr. Nash's liberal financial support and his efforts in behalf of the institution, is due largely the up building and growth of St. Francis hospital.
Dr. Nash was born February 1, 1849, in Hendricks County, Indiana. He received his early education at Prairie City, Illinois being graduated from the city schools in 1867. In the fall of that year he came to DeKalb County, Missouri. During the intervening years, until 1879, Dr. Nash spent in study and was graduated from the St. Joseph medical college in February of that year. Later he took a post graduate course in the University of Pennsylvania. He kept constantly in touch with the highest and best of his profession until he attained a position as one of the highest medical men in the middle west.
Dr. Nash was married November 13, 1870, to Miss Mary C. [atherine] Houston, who with one daughter, Alma M. [ae] survives him. He also leaves a young adopted daughter, Elizabeth Nash, whom he and his wife took into their home several years ago, and five brothers and sisters. They are A. [ndrew] W. Nash and S. A. Nash of St. Joseph, A. M. Nash and Mrs. Lydia Jacques of Watonga, Oklahoma and Mrs. Elizabeth Betts of Prairie City, Illinois.
The funeral services will be held at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the First Baptist Church, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Lewis M. Hale. The Elks and Masonic lodges of which Dr. Nash was a member will have a part in the service.

Dr. George A. Nash Died This Morning
Veteran Surgeon and Physician of Maryville Passed Away Quietly at St. Francis Hospital. Hold Funeral Rites Sunday. Had Been Active in Promoting the Hospital at Maryville—Skill as a Surgeon Drew Many Here.
George Allen Nash, M. D., Maryville's veteran surgeon and prominent physician, passed away this morning at 2 o'clock at St. Francis hospital. His death resulted from a cancer of the stomach and malignant condition of the pancreas, for which he underwent an operation Thursday morning, Dec. 17. He recovered from the immediate effects of the operation but since that time he had been gradually weakening. Yesterday evening his condition was regarded seriously, but it was thought the end would not come before twenty-four hours. After midnight he weakened rapidly, and death came quietly at 2 o'clock.
The funeral services will be Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the First Baptist church, conducted by Rev. L. M. Hale. The body will be placed in the vault in Miriam cemetery. Further arrangements for the funeral were not completed today.
Dr. Nash was born Feb. 1, 1849, on a farm in Hendricks county, Ind., the son of George B.[rown] and Elizabeth Nash. He received his education at Prairie City, Ill., graduating in 1867. In the fall of that year he moved with his mother to Gentry county.
After spending a year on the farm Dr. Nash moved to St. Joseph. Two years he worked in a store in Gentry county, then went to Mt. Pleasant, Mo., and conducted a drug store for some time.
In the meantime Dr. Nash began the study of medicine and in 1877 he entered a medical college at St. Joseph where he made a commendable record and from which institute he graduated February 28, 1879. The following April he came to Maryville and engaged in the general practice of medicine until 1884.

A Good Citizen Gone.
St. Joseph Gazette: The death of Dr. George A. Nash of Maryville, Mo., removes from that town one of its leading citizens, as well as a man prominent for years in the medical profession. Dr. Nash was a physician to the people.
His house was known to the
     vagrant train;
He chid their wand'rings but re-
    lieved their pain.
Goldsmith's village rector was not larger of heart, nor more open of hand. The death of this noted practitioner among northwest Missouri's pioneer physicians is a distinct loss to the community in whose life Dr. Nash had so important a part for years.

Gone Home. Death of Mrs. Emily S. Nicholas.
On last Sabbath Mrs. Emily S. Nicholas, wife of Joseph Nicholas, quietly sank to rest to awake in another and brighter world. Her death was not unexpected, as she had been sick for some time.
Mrs. Nicholas was born in Hampshire county, Virginia, December 10, 1833. Her maiden name was Dougherty. Her parents moved to Lee county, Iowa, in 1840. Emily was educated at Mt. Pleasant college and chose teaching as a profession. She taught almost constantly for 29 years. In 1861 she married E. P. Ralston. By this union there were five children, three of whom are still living, Dr. Ralston, of Quitman, being one. Mr. Ralston died in 1872. In 1873 she married Mr. Nicholas, with whom she has lived happy ever since. She was a devoted Christian and died in the triumph of faith, gladly welcoming instead of fearing death.
The funeral services took place Monday, at the M. E. church in Quitman. Hon. M. G. Roseberry, of this city, officiated. To the afflicted husband, children and friends, we say, weep not for her. Her life has been a glorious and useful one and now she is reaping her reward. "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his."

A Most Estimable Lady dies at Omaha
Mrs. Gus Pein Died at the Hospital After Undergoing an Operation for Appendicitis.
From Friday's Daily. Last evening shortly before 6 o'clock the sad news was received in this city of the death of Mrs. August Pein at St. Joseph's hospital in Omaha where she was taken to undergo an operation for appendicitis and the unfortunate lady never recovered from the operation, which was much more severe than had been anticipated and despite the efforts of the attending surgeons she gradually sank into death and passed away at 5:30 in the afternoon. This is a grievous blow to the husband and little children, who are now deprived of the love and care of a most devoted wife and mother and to the bereaved family the deepest sympathy of the entire community goes out in their loss.
The suddenness of the affliction that has fallen on this home is most crushing, as this estimable lady was only taken sick Tuesday evening and in less than two days was called to her final reward, leaving the loved ones with aching hearts to bear the loss which came on them with such unexpectedness. The death of Mrs. Pein brings forcibly the lesson that in life we are in the midst of death and while apparently in the enjoyment of life are called upon to answer the summons to a journey to an unknown land which is hidden from the eye of man.
Mrs. Pein was a lady who was loved by all who knew her and in her daily walks of life, practiced the principals of a Christian life and in the love of home, husband and children found her joy and pleasure. She was a devout member of the St. Paul's Evangelical church, and her presence will be sadly missed in the work of the church and in the community where she has so long made her home. She leaves besides the husband, three small children, Clifford, Gretchen and Catherine Pein, the youngest of whom is 5 years of age; one stepson, Harry Pein, of Kansas City, as well as her mother, Mrs. Claus Speck, sr., three brothers and three sisters, Claus Speck, Walter Speck, Miss Alma Speck of this city, Mrs. John Ewing, Hopkins, Missouri, Mrs. Anna Roberts of Ralston and Henry Speck of Columbus, Neb.
Celia Speck was born in Plattsmouth August 13, 1873 and had spent her lifetime here, being educated in this city and during all these years had endeared herself to a large circle of warm friends, who will miss her greatly, as she was kindly and genial to all she met and a lady who to know was to hold in high esteem. She was married here in 1900 to Mr. August Pein and the family have made their home since that time. She was a member of the Woodman Circle lodge of this city, who acted as the escort for the body on its arrival from Omaha this morning.

Immense Concourse Attends Funeral of the Late Mrs. Pein
The funeral of the late Mrs. August Pein was held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 from St. Paul's Evangelical church and was attended by an immense concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives, who gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the unfortunate lady who had been taken so suddenly from the midst of her home and family by the death messenger. The service was conducted by Rev. J. H. Steger, pastor of the church, who in a very eloquent sermon, paid a glowing tribute to the worthy lady who had been called away from her family and friends to her final reward and gave to the sorrowing family an inspiration to a higher ideal in the possibilities of the Christian life such as the departed lady had lived and in which faith she had shown such devotion during her lifetime. The members of the Degree of Honor and Woodman Circle, with the drill team of the local grove of the Woodman Circle, acted as an escort for the body from the home to the church and thence to the cemetery, where it was laid to rest in beautiful Oak Hill. There was a wealth of floral remembrances laid on the bier as a token of the deep feeling of regret felt at the passing of this estimable lady and of sympathy to the sorrow stricken husband and little children now deprived of the care of the wife and mother.
Promptly at 1:30 yesterday afternoon the members of the Woodman Circle and Degree of Honor assembled at their lodge rooms and together marched in a body to the home of their departed membered, Mrs. August Pein. The Nebraska Guards, which is the team of the Woodman Circle, led by their captain, took the lead, being followed by the officers of the Woodman Circle, then the members of both orders, the procession numbering fully 200 members, with Mrs. Joseph Droege and Mrs. Anton Trilety as marshals of the day. It was indeed a very sad mission for the members of the Woodman Circle, as Sovereign Pein was ever ready to assist when needed. The ceremony of the Woodman Circle was very impressive and as the casket was carried from the house and church every member stood in line with bowed head and many a tear fell in sympathy for the departed. At the grave the captain, Mrs. Manspeaker and guards, with officers, gathered around the grave and mourners, forming a wedge and sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee," followed with prayer by Chaplain Sovereign Schluntz, then one by one they passed the grave dropping a flower as a last goodbye on this earth but with the assurance of another meeting where we part no more. Not only did our loss touch the heart of every sovereign here, but it brought to us our beloved supreme guardian, Mrs. Emma B. Manchester, who came from Omaha to be present at the funeral and give comforting words to the grief-stricken husband and children.

Rev. E. V. Roof Dead.
Rev. Elias V. [oris] Roof was born in Dearborn county, Ind., January 14, 1824, and died in Parnell, Mo., Wednesday, June 2, 1915, aged 91 years, 4 months and 18 days.
While a baby his parents moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, then to Kentucky where he lived four years on a farm, then moved back to Dearborn Co., Ind., where he resided until he was 14 years of age. He was 14 years old before he learned the alphabet perfectly, which was on a paddle. At the age of 14 he went on the Ohio river as a cabin boy and afterwards was made a pilot.
He became acquainted with Miss Delilah Shets [Sheets] and married in his 21st year, August 14, 1844. He then engaged in farming in Switzerland county, Ind., where he resided seven years when he moved to Dearborn county again where he resided three years. He then emigrated to Illinois where he was converted in his 28th year and at the age of 35 he commenced preaching. His first sermon was in a little school house in Stark county, Ill. He preached in Illinois seven years and in 1867 moved to DeKalb county, Mo., and his first winter (1867 and 1868) was spent in revival meetings with Rev. William Turner. The next year (1870) he was assigned to the St. Joseph circuit, next to Third Forks circuit, and from there to Hopkins where he remained three years, then to Barnard and Bolckow, then back to the St. Joseph circuit one year. From there he went to Gentryville, Gentry county and then to Pickering; then to Fillmore, Andrew county two years; then to Darlington two years. At the close he was made supernumerary and moved back to Hopkins and suppled work at that place. The next year he took up work permanently and was sent to Pickering again for two years. From Pickering he was sent to Parnell, where he preached at this place and Sheridan. He was the second pastor at this place and built most of the present M. E. church (1888-1889). He nervously broke down and was made a superannuate and retired in 1890. After this relation he moved to Grant City where he resided one year, then back to Hopkins and then to Parnell where he made his permanent home until he died.
His first wife died August 7, 1900 and was buried at Hopkins. To them were born ten children, six of them being dead and four still living, as follows: John Samuel, living in Illinois; Mrs. Mar[y] Eaton, Topeka, Kan.; Andrew J. [ackson] Roof, Parnell, Mo.; Elias R. [ansom] Roof, Conception Junction, Missouri.
He was married the second time to Mrs. Jane Shenefelt of Topeka, Kan., June 2, 1902, who still survives.
Funeral services were held at the M. E. church in Parnell on Thursday, June 3, 1915, being conducted by Rev. Dr. W. B. Christy, district superintendent, who had known him since 1876.
The body was taken to Hopkins Friday where it was interred in the Hopkins cemetery. Services were also held at Hopkins, being preached by Rev. H. McNamee, assisted by Rev. Tinney of this place and Rev. W. K. Adams of Hopkins.
He had been a member of the Odd Fellows lodge at Hopkins a long time and in his younger days was one of its most enthusiastic and loyal members. A number of the members of the order attended the services in Parnell in a body and several accompanied the remains to Hopkins.
The floral offerings were many, both at Parnell and at Hopkins.
Father Roof, as he was generally known, saw many changes during his many pastorates, both in the upbuilding of churches and the country. A good man has gone to his reward and his life and conduct might be followed with good results.

DISTRICT NO. 5 – The neighborhood was somewhat shocked last Monday to hear of the sudden death of the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Sprague. It was taken sick the day before but was not considered at all dangerous but Tuesday morning Mr. Sprague went for the doctor but before he had time to return its spirit had flown. It was quietly sleeping in its mother's arms, who was also lying in the bed and asleep. Rousing up shortly afterward, imagine her grief on discovering her babe in the throes of death. The funeral services were conducted at the residence this Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved parents in this their hour of affliction.

Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, March 1, 1883
In Memorium.
Died February 11th, 1883, Ellen N. Sterrett, wife of Geo. Sterrett of this place. The subject of this sketch, Ellen N. Bigley, was born at Leon, Iowa, July 23d, 1855, and was consequently at the time of her death in her 27th year. At the age of ten in company with her parents she removed to Davis county and was there subsequently united in marriage to George Sterrett at Bloomfield, with whom she walked happily down life's rough pathway until the day of her death. In 1878 they removed to Nodaway county where they have since resided. By their union two children were born, aged, at this time, four and six years, respectively, who are yet too young to realize the loss of a kind and loving mother. About one year ago she had a severe attack of lung fever, from which she never fully recovered and which was the predisposing cause of her demise. All that medical skill could do was done but without avail, for at 5:30 P. M., Sunday, death claimed his own and her spirit passed to that bright world beyond, where sickness and death are unknown. She was buried at Burr Oak chapel Tuesday, February 13th, Rev. S. R. Warner officiating. A large concourse of sorrowing friends and relations followed her remains to the grave to offer the last empty honors this world affords, to the soulless tenement of clay. She was a consistent member of the M. E. church and her faith was her stay and comfort during the dark hour of death for as she stood on the brink of the dark river and felt the chill of its icy waters, she felt no fear, for with the eye of faith she looked across the troubled waters and penetrating the mist of the land of shadows, saw her Savior standing with outstretched arms on the other shore to receive her and calmly and peacefully she sank to rest and her frail bark was wafted across to that bright shore where amid the countless thousands gone before, her immortal spirit now dwells. She departed the Christian wife and mother. To the bereaved husband and his two motherless children we offer our kindest sympathy and point him for consolation to Him who doeth all things well and who has said "come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give your rest.   U Guess.

--On Tuesday last the little daughter of Mrs. Terry, aged about twelve years, died after a long and severe illness of malignant typhoid fever. All that medical skill and a fond mother's untiring attention could do was done, but the pure spirit of the little sufferer peacefully passed to that blessed land where dwelleth He who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me." The funeral services were conducted by Elder Parker at the First M. E. church on Wednesday. The heart-broken mother has the sympathy of the entire community.

[TERRY, VIOLET]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, May 31, 1883
"I Am Ready to Go."
These were the last words spoken by Violet Terry, who died in this city Tuesday morning, May 22d, at six o'clock, aged eleven years, after a long and serious illness of a malignant typhoid fever. All that a kind physician and fond mother's untiring attention could do, was done, but the pure spirit of the little sufferer peacefully passed to that blessed land where dwelleth He who said "Suffer little children to come unto me."
Kind friends administered to her wants during her illness and when the sickle of death had reaped its golden harvest, the earthly remains of little Violet were neatly attired and placed in an elegant casket and followed to their last resting place in Myriam Cemetery by a large circle of friends. Among the mourners were her teacher and the pupils of the school which she attended, who were deeply affected over the loss of their schoolmate.
Rev. J. M. Parker, of the Main Street M. E. church officiated at the funeral, delivering an eloquent and appropriate sermon from the text, "Is it well with a child." He spoke at length of the deep interest that Violet manifested in the Sabbath school and church. She was always in her seat at Sunday school and church and took a leading part in the exercises. The last time she attended Sabbath school her teacher presented her with a handsome bible.
As the school viewed for the last time the remains of one so dear, the choir sang:
Shall we meet beyond the river
    Where the surges cease to roll,
Where, in all the bright forever,
    Sorrow shall ne'er press the soul.
Yes Violet was a noble little girl, and the attention she received during her last suffering on earth was only a proof that she was dearly loved and respected by all who knew her.
Mrs. Terry bears her loss with Christian fortitude. She came to this city about two years ago, almost penniless and a stranger, with two sweet little girls looking to her for the necessaries to support life and through the assistance of Maud, her oldest, child, who canvassed this town from early morn till the sun had gone to rest beneath the western horizon hungry and tired selling pictures, the mother managed by hard work to keep the wolf from her door.
Readers of the Times will remember how mysteriously Maud disappeared about a year ago last Christmas, leaving her mother heartbroken, and now that she has been left entirely alone, it seems to us a case wherein it takes a strong mind and Christian spirit to withstand.
Two weeks before Violet died she became speechless, but prior to that time she constantly called for her sister, saying she wanted to see her. When her mother found she was bound to go, she asked her if she loved Jesus and was willing to die? "Yes, mamma, I love Jesus because he is so kind to me; and I am ready to go." Mrs. Terry in her bereavement has the sympathy of the entire community and there is no better proof of a true Christian spirit existing than the fact that members of every church in this city—not one excepted—administered to this distressed lady's wants, when she most needed friends.
To all of those who remembered her in the darkest hours Mrs. Terry extends her heartfelt thanks. – Maryville Times.

Dies After Fall. Capt. I. M. Wood, 77, Lives Six Hour After Accident.
Came to County 1870. Was Civil War Veteran of 72 Battles and Uninjured—Funeral at Hopkins Tomorrow.
Isaac M. [onroe] Wood, 77 years old, No. 722 East Jenkins street, died at 7:30 o'clock last night from the effect of injuries received in a fall of twenty feet from a ladder at his home about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It is believed by a son, Charles Wood of Hopkins, that his father suddenly became dizzy while on the ladder and fell, as he suffered from a weak heart. His left leg was broken just below the hip and his right arm splintered in the fall. He also probably received internal injuries.
Mr. Wood, or as many came to know him as Captain Wood, was painting the gable of his home when the accident occurred. As the right arm was amputated for cancer about four years ago between the wrist and elbow, it is believed he lost his hold upon the ladder upon becoming dizzy.
He was found lying semi-conscious beneath the ladder at 1 o'clock by Mrs. Wood when he failed to answer her summons to dinner. It is believed he had fallen a short time before that, as the place where he fell is in direct view from the street. E. O. Bone, a negro instructor at the Douglas school nearby and John Mahoney a near neighbor were called. They aided Mrs. Wood in carrying him into the house where medical attention was given. He was conscious most of the time until his death about six hours later.
Lived Here Ten Years.
Capt. Wood and family came to Missouri in 1870 from Ohio, where he was born. He settled in Hopkins where he resided about twenty-five years. He then moved to a farm near Buffalo in Dallas county where he continued to live until ten years ago. He had lived in Maryville since that time.
Capt. Wood by occupation was a blacksmith, although he had lived a retired life since moving to Maryville. He was a civil war veteran of seventy-two battles. He first enlisted in Company K, forty-fourth volunteer infantry of Indiana in November 1861 at the first call for volunteers.
He re-enlisted the next year Christmas Day in Company L, fourth United States Cavalry. He continued with the cavalry until the close of the war. He went through the seventy-two battles without an injury despite the fact that he fought through such bloody battles as that of Shiloh, Lookout Mountain, and others entered into by the western and southern divisions of the federal army.
Mr. Wood was born in Ohio, July 1837. He is survived by a wife and two sons, Charles Woods [Wood] of Hopkins, and Frank Woods [Wood] of Los Angeles, Cal. Frank Woods [Wood] will be unable to come here.
The body was taken to Hopkins at noon today over the Burlington, where the funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the Methodist church. The Rev. H. Franklin will officiate. Burial will be in the Hopkins cemetery.
[Note: The last name is given as Wood on his Missouri State Death Certificate and on his Civil War headstone.]
