Departed this life May the 14th, 1883, at Monmouth, Ill., Mrs. Sarah Eckles, aged fifty-five years. Also on June the 18th, 1883, at Maitland, Mo., Emanuel Eckles, in the 66th year of his age.
The day after Mr. Eckles' death he was conveyed to the M. E. church at Graham, where Rev. Kemper preached a discourse, at the conclusion of which the remains were taken in charge by Reynolds Post, G. A. R., and escorted to Prairie Home cemetery where all that was mortal of Emanuel Eckles was laid to rest in accordance with the ritual of that order. This was the first funeral conducted at this place by the Grand Army of the Republic. With sad countenances and bowed heads the old veterans tenderly laid one of their comrades to rest. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust; looking to the resurrection of the just and the life that is to come. Comrade, farewell, until we all answer to the roll call of the Grand Commander above, where there will be no more war, sighing or bitter parting. Where God "will wipe away all tears from their eyes."
Husband and wife, father and mother. Together in life, together in death. We trust they are together now on the evergreen shore. How sad we feel at any time to record the death of a loved one, but oh, how hearts are rent with anguish at such bereavement as this. Here we write dead. Mother dead, father dead. Our feelings overcomes us for it brings to mind the long ago when we parted from father and mother. How well do we remember—ah! Who does not remember, who is there on the wide earth, who has not some sacred memory hid away from the prying eyes of the world, some recollection between which and mammon worshipers a veil is forever drawn. But did I say dead? No, no, that cannot be! They are living in our hearts, in our memory, living where no sickness or pain can come, nor death destroy—in heaven, thank God.
Deceased left three sons and three daughters to mourn their loss. Mrs. Anna Alle, of Cumberland, Maryland, Mrs. Swanson, of Maryville, Mo., Mrs. G. W. Hutchison, of Maitland, Mo. The sons are residents of Illinois. The boys have mother's grave and the girls have father's. How comforting these thoughts should be to them. There are no weary heads or weary hearts on the other side of Jordan. The rest of heaven will be sweeter for the toils of earth. How many of earth's weary ones are resting in His glorious presence now. Jesus says "yet a little while and thou shall enter into rest."
We were not personally acquainted [with] the subjects of this memoir, therefore, will not try to trace their history, but pray God they may be reunited in that blissful beyond.  Mrs. Bell B. Ely.

--Rev. W. [illiam] L. [ake] Edmonds, well known to many citizens of Nodaway county, departed this life at Malvern, Iowa, last Saturday at noon, after about two weeks sickness of typhoid fever. He was serving on his second year as pastor of the Malvern Methodist church. He was buried at Malvern last Monday at two p. m. He leaves a wife and five boys, the oldest about eleven years. We learn that he had $2,000 life insurance in the Home company of Iowa. Rev. Edmonds served as pastor of the Burlington Junction Methodist church three years and nearly one year as pastor at Hopkins. Memorial services in his memory will be held at the Junction next Sunday, conducted by Rev. Warner. Rev. Edmonds had hosts of friends in Nodaway county who will deeply regret the sad intelligence of his death. We learn since the above was written from Rev. D. B. Lake, a cousin of the deceased, who stopped a few hours in this city on his way home to Chillicothe, Wednesday, from the funeral, that Mr. Edmonds some two months ago forfeited the insurance spoken of above. Mr. Lake says the Odd Fellows and Masons of Malvern, to both of which orders the deceased belonged, have done much for the family; and that the citizens there are taking steps to buy Mrs. Edmonds and children a home in their midst; and that the people of Quitman and Burlington Junction have signified their intention to help in the matter.

John Edwards Dead. He Shoots Himself With a Revolver.
Great Excitement When the Sad News Reaches the Streets
John Edwards, the generous-hearted, large-brained, highly esteemed citizen of Maryville, is no more on earth. Just before noon today he shot himself with a 42 caliber revolver, through the head, in an upstairs room in his own house. It appears that no one was in the house at the time save himself, but about the time the deed was done Mrs. Edwards returned from a buggy drive.
She discovered that he was shot and communicated the alarm to the street and in a few moments several persons were in the house and when they entered the room in which his dead body lay a ghastly sight was before them.
The following jury was empanelled at 12 o'clock by Coroner G. S. E. Vaughan:
F. P. Elliott, W. H. Hudson, W. Dowdeswell, S. B. Arnold, Richard Kuchs, W. A. Hatton.
The jury after examining the body and hearing the evidence adduced before the inquest, returned a verdict of death by his own hand.
The Democrat reporter, in interviewing some of the intimate friends of Mr. Edwards, learned that he had been feeling somewhat unwell for a week or two past and at times was melancholy and gloomy. Mr. Edwards had been afflicted with neuralgic catarrh in his head from which he had suffered more or less for several years past. He had got the impression lately, it seems, that the catarrh was affecting his mind and that it would eventually render him insane.
The sensational surroundings of the death of Mr. Edwards has cast a pall over the entire city. Stout-hearted men wept like children when they beheld the familiar form cold in death. The sorrow is universal.
Mr. Edwards was born at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, December 8, 1836. He graduated from the Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, with the highest honors of his class for scholarship July 3, 1862. From 1862 to 1864 he was superintendent of public schools at Hillsborough, Ohio. He received the degree of Master of Arts from Miami University, July 5, 1865. He was admitted to the bar at Hamilton, Ohio, before Hon. Josiah Scott, of the Supreme court of that state in 1867.
In August 1868, he came to Maryville. During the winter of 1868 and 1869 he was superintendent of our city public schools.
In July 1869 he formed a co-partnership with Judge Lafe Dawson in the practice of law. From 1876 to 1879 he was prosecuting attorney of Nodaway county. For eight years he was in partnership with Hon. W. W. Ramsay and at the time of his death was the law partner of Hon. W. C. Ellison.
John Edwards was a great man and gifted with high intellectual endowments. He was the very soul of honor. His motives were so pure in all of his actions and conduct with his fellow men that he was keenly sensitive to adverse criticism. No blemish marred the purity of his private life and having a large heart, full of charity and noble impulses, he was held in the greatest esteem by everybody.

A Shocking Suicide! John Edwards Shoots Himself Through the Head!
The Weapon a 44 Calibre Revolver—The Deed Committed at His Home! Political Disappointment the Supposed Cause!
The people of Maryville were greatly shocked about 11 o'clock in the forenoon of Thursday, September 13, 1888, to hear that Hon. John Edwards, a well known member of the bar of Nodaway county, had just committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a 44 calibre revolver. Upon repairing to the dwelling, the reporter of the Republican found the sad news to be too true. Mr. Edwards' body was lying in his study up stairs, apparently just where it had fallen when the fatal shot was fired. The bullet evidently entered his head just behind the right ear, passing through in an upward direction and coming out in front and above the left temple. It then passed through the wall of the house, showing the terrible power of the missile. A pool of blood was on the floor where the body lay, with everything indicating that death was instantaneous. It is said that no one was in the house at the time, Mrs. Edwards being out riding.
Of course all manner of conflicting rumors are in circulation. It is said that Mr. Edwards has shown much disappointment at not receiving the nomination for Judge of the Kansas City Court of Appeals, for which he was an aspirant last month before the Democratic Judicial Convention of Missouri.
G. S. E. Vaughan summoned a jury composed of W. A. Hatton, foreman, Henry Hudson, F. P. Elliott, Wm. Dowdswell, S. B. Arnold and Richard Kuchs. Nothing was elicited by the jury as to the probable cause of the fatal deed and they returned a verdict in accordance with the facts as stated above.
Biographical Sketch.
John Edwards was the fourth child of Robert and Elizabeth Edwards and was born at Valley Forge in Chester county, Pennsylvania, December 8, 1836. In 1837 his parents removed to Highland county, Ohio, and settled near Leesburg.
Mr. Edwards was reared on a farm. In '56 he attended the academy at South Salem, Ohio, then conducted by Prof. J. A. J. Lowes. In September, '58, he entered the freshman class of Miami University, at Oxford, Ohio, in which institution he pursued the regular classical course and was graduated with the highest honors of his class for scholarship, July 3, 1862. Mr. Edwards was poet Laureate of his class and delivered the valedictory address on graduation day.
In the fall of 1862 he was elected superintendent of public schools at Hillsborough, which place he acceptably filled until 1864, when he was chosen to the same position in Hamilton, Ohio, which he continued to hold until 1867. In 1865 the degree of M. A. was conferred upon him by his Alma Mater. During his superintendency at Hamilton, Mr. Edwards studied law under Hon. Robert Christy and was admitted to the bar in 1867. That fall he entered the practice at Hillsborough, in partnership with Hon. James Sloane and Judge S. F. Steel.
In August 1868, Mr. Edwards and family removed to Maryville where they have since resided. The first winter of his stay here, he filled the position of superintendent of our public schools, in which he was always much interested, and he has since been a director and clerk of the school board nearly all the time.
In 1869 Mr. Edwards entered into partnership with Hon. Lafayette Dawson, now U. S. Judge of Alaska, for the practice of law, which continued until 1877. In 1876 he was elected prosecuting attorney for Nodaway county, holding the position two years. In 1878 he entered into partnership with Hon. W. W. Ramsey, now Judge of the Kansas City Court of Appeals, which was dissolved in 1886 when he took in with him W. C. Ellison, now prosecuting attorney of Nodaway county.
Mr. Edwards was married to Mrs. Elizabeth A. Hays, February 12, 1864, who survives him with their three children, Edward D., Robert J., and Mary L., all nearly grown.
Mr. Edwards was one of the best lawyers in the State of Missouri. He was of a poetic, even dreamy temperament, but kept this guarded by fine taste and painstaking watchfulness. He was a ripe scholar, a careful advisor, with a heart full of charity and noble impulses. If he had an enemy we fail to know it and his familiar presence on our streets will be sadly missed.

Another Brakeman Gone. He Falls off a Car on Conductor Wood's Train on Sunday.
On last Sunday an inquest was held over the dead body of one G. [ustavus] M. Favor, late a brakeman on the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific road, at the store of Chas. Lippman in this city, by Coroner Thos. Phillips, Knox Jones acting as clerk.
The evidence adduced was to the effect that Conductor L. C. Wood's train left Conception Station coming west at about a quarter after six o'clock on Sunday morning. Conductor Wood's train was followed by another not far behind. Upon arriving at Maryville it was ascertained that Mr. Favor was not on the train and suspicions were at once aroused that some accident had befallen him. It was with the view of finding out what had become of the unfortunate man that a party went back along the road. When about two miles west of Conception Station his body was discovered lying on the ground not far from the track. It was brought to Maryville and Coroner Phillips notified of the fact, whereupon he had a jury empaneled which, after hearing all the evidence, returned the following verdict:
We, the undersigned jurors, empaneled and sworn on the 8th day of February, 1880, at the town of Maryville, in the township of Polk and county of Nodaway, state of Missouri, by Thomas Phillips, coroner of Nodaway county, Missouri, to diligently inquire and true presentiment make how by whom G. M. Favor whose body was found near the track of the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific railroad, about two miles west of Conception, in Nodaway county, Missouri, on the 8th day of February, 1880, came to his death, having viewed the body and heard the evidence, do find that the deceased came to his death by accident—falling from a freight train while in motion, receiving a mortal wound, fracturing the base of the skull, which would [have] caused instant death; and according to the evidence that no blame attaches to any person.
Given under our hands this, the 8th day of February 1880.  Henry Graves, O. S. Briggs, L. F. Van Briggle, John G. Turner, John Spore, Fred R. Nourse, Jurors.
The body remained at the undertakers until Monday evening, when it was sent, over the C. B. & Q. road to Chicago for interment. The young man leaves a widowed mother whose dependence he was. They had just got to housekeeping on Saturday at Brunswick, the eastern terminus of the Omaha & Council Bluffs division. A sister of his mother resides in Chicago, where he was taken for interment. The officials of the road say he was one of the best brakemen on the road. The poor mother sustains a heavy loss. She arrived in town Sunday evening and went with his remains to Chicago.

Married in 1848 to Deacon Henry Forcade, a brother beloved, who has gone before to that goodly land. She leaves five children and many other kindred and friends, who mourn their loss. she will be missed by the Graham Baptist Church, of which she was a faithful member.
While her children were yet young the responsibility of training them led her to Christ for refuge and strength, and her success proved the worth of religion, for they are all followers of the meek and lowly Saviour.
Funeral services were conducted at the Graham Baptist Church, Sunday, November 8th, attended by a large and sympathizing audience. Sermon preached by Pastor J. W. Malotte, text, Proverbs 4:18.
She had been in bad health for some time and was waiting and expecting that summons to depart and be with Christ. That summons came November 6th, and we say "Goodbye, till we meet in the bright beyond."   J. W. M.

--Mrs. Frazee, wife of Wm H.[ix] Frazee, died at the residence of her father, W. [illiam] H. Shanks, last Thursday about twelve o'clock. She had been in ill health for some time. She and her husband moved to Manhattan, Riley county, Kansas, about seven years ago. Her health was poor at that time and the change was made in the hope that it would be improved. The change was a benefit and though she has never very rugged or stout, she kept up pretty well until last winter when she caught a severe cold which hastened on her disease very much. Her husband brought her up from Kansas to her father's on June 3d. Mrs. Frazee remained rational until the last, bade her husband and other friends good by and died in the triumphs of a living faith in a blessed life hereafter. She was a Christian woman, having belonged for years to the Christian church. Funeral services were held at the residence on Friday at three o'clock, conducted by Elders Frank and Roseberry, after which her remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery. She leaves a little girl about ten years old and a devoted husband to mourn her loss to them, as well as numerous other relatives and friends who will sacredly preserve in their memories her many amiable and noble womanly traits and Christian virtues.

Mrs. Marina M. Gooden died this morning at 4:30 o'clock at the home of her son, Ernest Gooden, between Parnell and Ravenwood on the old Gooden homestead. For the past two or three years she has been in failing health.
Mrs. Gooden was born at Champaign Ill., April 5, 1858. When five years of age her mother died and she made her home with an aunt in Ohio for the next five years. During this time her father had settled in Nodaway county and had remarried. She then came and made her home with him. Her father was Alfred Henry Burroughs. On March 8, 1877, she was married to Samuel S. [haw] Gooden at Maryville. They made their home near the old Lanning Mill, north of where Ravenwood is now located. They moved north of Maryville and then back to their former home.

Cooper Gooden, Pioneer Settler, Dies by Own Hand
Ill Health Is Blamed For Act of 92-Year-Old Maryville Resident. Had Led an Active Life. Made Several Trips Over Santa Fe Trail With Wagon Train Before Settling Near Ravenwood in 1864.
Cooper Gooden, 92 years of age, died shortly after 8 o'clock this morning at his home, 716 East First street, by his own hand. He was found wounded in the head from a small caliber shotgun lying on the floor of the garage and died shortly afterwards.
Dr. C. D. Humber, coroner, of Barnard, was summoned by a physician who was called to administer aid and after a view inquest announced it was suicide. Mr. Gooden left a note tied to the gun, addressed to a neighbor, Mike Sturm, to return the gun to Walter Short. Mr. Gooden had borrowed the gun about a week ago on the pretense he was going to shoot some dogs that were bothering in that vicinity.
Funeral Services.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Campbell's Funeral Home. Rev. H. D. Thompson, pastor of the M. E. church, South, will officiate, assisted by Rev. V. C. Clark, pastor of the First M. E. church. H. N. Schuster will sing at the services. Burial will be in Miriam cemetery.
The pallbearers will be Frank McKee, Maryville; E. C. Gooden, Parnell; Floyd Casteel, Fay Casteel and Artie Craven, Ravenwood and Ernest Welborn, Maryville.
Ill health undoubtedly was the cause of Mr. Gooden's actions. Last winter Mr. Gooden suffered a concussion of the brain when he fell backwards down five steps from an indoor stairway. He recovered and has repeatedly stated he felt well. However, it was known that his legs were bothering him constantly and he was unable to sit down for more than a few minutes at a time.
Retained Active Mind.
Among the oldest of the pioneers of this county, Peter Lowber Cooper Gooden, but better known as "Cooper" to his innumerable friends, retained an active mind as well as an active body to his last days. The weather never was severe enough to cause him to wear an overcoat. In the summer months he spent a good share of his time in his garden, working despite his advanced age. Mr. Gooden has been connected in some capacity with this paper since the time it was owned by the late James Todd, acting first as correspondent from Ravenwood. In recent years he has rarely failed being at the office at press time to take the papers out of the press.
A man of some pronounced individuality, he held to his convictions and always was square with his fellowmen.
Born in 1840.
Mr. Gooden was born June 9, 1840, at Willow Grove, Del. At the age of 13 he went to London, Can., but in the same year moved to Wyandotte City, Kan., where he worked on a railroad. From there he went to Leavenworth where he made a trip to Santa Fe, N. M., with a 500-wagon train and from there to Fort Wise, now Fort Lyons, Colo.
He returned to Leavenworth, quit his job as assistant wagon-master in 1864 and came to Nodaway county, locating near Ravenwood. He made another trip to the West the following year but returned in the same twelve months.
Mr. Gooden was of English-Welch extraction, a member of a family of eleven, being the oldest son of William and Catherine Gooden. There are two brothers living, Albert W., at Wyoming, Del., and William G., at Philadelphia.
Besides his widow, Mr. Gooden is survived by two sons, Forrest O. Gooden, Odessa, Mo., and C. L. B. Gooden of California. Mr. Gooden was married three times, first in 1865. His first wife died in 1870. His second wife died ten years later and Mr. Gooden was married to his present wife on Christmas eve, 1890. Forrest Gooden was born August 28, 1896 to the last union.
Due to his activities on the western plains in the 60's, Cooper became acquainted with "Wild Bill" Hickok, "Buckskin" Joe and "Red" Clark, famous bad men of their time in the Middle west, wrote a reporter for The Daily Forum who prepared a feature story about Mr. Gooden several years ago. Other extracts from the story are as follows.
Although Mr. Gooden was thrown in contact with this type of men, yet he never tasted liquor, used tobacco, played cards or used indecent language.
Up until a few years ago Cooper despised a cane, but he suffered an injury to his side when crushed by the heavy door of a local business house and since he has carried a heavy wooden cane.
Big black hats were a specialty with Mr. Gordon, as he started wearing them when he was in his 20's. Cooper made three trips in 1864 and 65 to the little known southwest and west, his duty being that of caring for the oxen and mules on the huge trains and to see that they were properly fed.
Cooper said he received mighty good pay for those days while assistant wagon master. "We got $100 a month which was unheard of."
Recalled Indian Fights.
During the three trips he made to the southwest the veteran of Missouri recalled of the many attacks made by the Indians on the wagon trains he accompanied. He told that while he was employed by Majors & Waddle, engaged in the transport business, five different tribes sallied forth on more than one occasion, either at dusk or early in the mornings. The old plainsman told of the means they had of identifying the tribes that were warlike. "The first thing the true plainsman learned was to identify the various Indian tribes by the arrows they used. Each tribe used a distinct coloring on their arrows. The tribes we had to keep off were the Kiowas, Comanches, Rapahcos, Sioux and Cheyennes.
In 1863 after he had moved from his home, Willow Grove, Del., to London, Can., Cooper went to Wyandotte City, Kan. He had stayed only a few months in Canada. "Wyandotte City was on the west side of the Kaw and Missouri Rivers, or across the river from what is now Kansas City, Mo.," was the way Cooper explained the location. In all of that year he worked for Hallett Brothers who were building the railroad from Wyandotte City to Lawrence. It was the first railroad built west of the Mississippi River. "I don't recollect the name of the railroad but we did all the work on the road bed by shovel and got $l.50 a day. And that was big pay," he said.
"There wasn't much to Westport (now Kansas City) at that time. All I can remember is that there was a street cut through a big hill leading down to the levee and a few trading houses on each side of the road. Westport was just a trading point on the river," he said.
Once Operated a Mill.
Cooper's career in Nodaway county has not been so exciting as his days with the wagon teams. He ran a feed mill along a small stream near Ravenwood and made a success at farming. Mr. Gooden moved to Maryville in 1903 where he worked at various occupations merely as a pastime.
Augustus Romasser, mayor of Maryville twenty years ago, told recently that during his administration considerable brick paving was laid here. Property owners complained that the contractors were not fulfilling their contract when putting in the curbing. So Mr. Romasser said he employed Cooper to keep a check on the cement mixer, much to the annoyance of the contractors and the curbings Cooper supervised are the best in this town today.
Cooper was known to be the oldest journalist in Nodaway county. While living near Ravenwood he was a correspondent for the Nodaway Democrat. This was shortly after the Civil War. In the winter when the work at his mill was slack Cooper would hitch up his sled and start out over the country. At the first farmhouse he would stop, ask the farmer how he was getting along, his politics, number of cattle, and then go on to another farm. He would send his findings to the paper under a column "Fly by Day."
However, he had not discontinued his connections entirely with the newspaper, as every morning he came in the office to report the quotation on eggs. Every afternoon he went back to the press room and saw that the papers came off the press all right.
No matter how cold the weather he could be seen up town without an overcoat.
He had worn a beard since he came west in 1863 and he always cut his own hair.
Although he was well read on the topics of the times and could discuss politics with anyone, modern inventions did not enter to a great extent in his life. "I never paid a nickel to see a motion picture show and I wouldn't have an automobile if one was given to me," was his comment. "It's too much trouble to make one of them things run."
'Play square and always pay at least 99 cents on the dollar" was the policy of this man who had kept a record of all important events, the weather and the catastrophes in this county for more than a half century.

Mr. Gooden was born in Frederica, Del., August 16, 1847. When a young man he came from Delaware to Akron, Ohio, where he worked in the yards of a railroad.

Mrs. Gooden died August 16, 1932. The home place was destroyed by fire last December and the son, Ernest, is rebuilding.
Mr. Gooden was a leader of the Democratic party in Jackson township. For years he was a member of the M. E. church, South at Parnell and when Mr. and Mrs. Gooden went to Athens he moved his membership there. He was at one time a member of the Odd Fellows lodge and served on the board of trustees that supervised the building of the lodge hall at Parnell. For years he served on the board of the Morning View school and also as clerk of the board without compensation for quite some time.
In 1932 Mr. and Mrs. Gooden celebrated their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary.

Death of Phillip Growney. On Saturday, February 2d, 1884, After a Week's Illness.
In the issue of last week there appeared the notice of the death of John Growney. Four days after that sad event, Mr. Phillip Growney, a brother of John some six years older than him departed this life at his residence in Jefferson township, at about 6:30 in the morning. The disease was pronounced erratc erysipelas and was without doubt contracted by Mr. Phillip Growney while waiting on his brother John during the latter's sickness. While John was sick and a few nights before he died, Phillip Growney, Lawrence J. Growney and Mrs. Wm Brady, their sister, stood for a considerable time around the bedside of John whose death they were expecting. It seems they all caught a kind of blood-poisoning disease, for Lawrence had quite a sick spell, from which, we are glad to be able to state he has about recovered. Mrs. Brady has also been very sick.
Phillip Growney was born in county Meath, Ireland, in March 1831. He came to America in 1848 and moved to Nodaway county in the fall of 1857, being one of the first parties to settle in what is known as the Irish colony. He leaves a wife and ten children—seven boys and three girls. Patrick L. Growney of this city is his oldest son. The oldest boy at home is about 23 and the oldest girl about 13.
The funeral services took place last Sunday morning at nine o'clock at the Catholic church in Conception, being conducted by the Rev. Father Placidus. The funeral procession was more than three-fourths of a mile in length, there being more than seventy-five teams in the line. This large procession attests the estimate placed upon the character of the deceased in the community where he had so long been an honored and esteemed citizen.
Phillip Growney was a good man in the fullest and best sense of the term—a peaceable, quiet citizen, a kind and devoted husband, a loving and affectionate father. May his many virtues of head and heart be kept in perpetual remembrance by the bereft family. A good and true man has been called home.
