Died, at the residence of his son in law, N. Schumacher in Maryville, Mo., Monday morning, May 22, 1893, Peter Lahr, aged 78 years, 1 month and 18 days.
Deceased was born in Luxemburg, Germany, April 6, 1815. In 1839 he was married to Elizabeth Weber. They came to America in 1846 and first settled in Ohio. They afterwards moved to Wisconsin and came to Missouri in 1860, staying in St. Joseph that summer and moved to Nodaway county in the fall, which had since been Mr. Lahr's home.
In February 1862 Mr. Lahr enlisted in Company C, 4th Mo. Cavalry, from which he was discharged in June 1863, on account of being over age. His son Mat was in the same company as his father. Uncle Peter, as he was familiarly called, looked back with much pride upon his service for his adopted country and after he became a member of Sedgwick Post G. A. R., he was ever faithful in his attendance, deriving much comfort from the associations.
To Mr. and Mrs. Lahr were given five children. The eldest child Mary died in infancy in Germany. Mat and Nicholas were brought to this country with their parents, and Michael and Elizabeth (Mrs. N. Schumacher) were born in Ohio. Nicholas died in Maryville last January.
The funeral services were held Wednesday forenoon at St. Mary's Catholic church, conducted by Rev. Father Anselm. His remains were laid away in the Catholic cemetery where Sedgwick Post also paid their last sad ritualistic tribute to the memory of their deceased comrade.
His last moments were calm and serene. Surrounded by his sorrowing children his spirit took its flight to realms of eternal bliss. Mr. Lahr was well and favorably known in this community as an honorable upright man in all his business relations with his fellow men. He leaves no enemies but a host of friends, and our loss is but his eternal gain. Love, innocence and purity was deeply and visibly depicted upon his dying countenance. The soul's wings have been trimmed for higher flight and the soul itself prepared for a purer sphere. And would say to the bereaved children you did your duty well and faithfully, leave the rest to the God that doeth all things well and if we all live as he lived and die as he died all will be well. He has only crossed the line which lies in darkness just between the land we see and that unseen.
The large concourse of people who followed the remains to their last resting place attest the high esteem in which he was held.

Dr. J. A. Larrabee, 72, Died Wed. Aged Physician, Passed Away Following Attack of Pneumonia, in St. Joseph Wednesday Night. Practiced Here for 30 Years. Was One of the Most Loved Men and Most Sought After Physician Barnard Has Ever Known.
Dr. J. [ames] A.[lbert] Larrabee, 72 years old, died in St. Joseph Wednesday night at 8:30 following a short illness of pneumonia. His body was brought to Barnard today shortly after noon and the funeral service will be preached from the Methodist Church Friday at 2 o'clock by the Rev. E. W. Croy.
Dr. Larrabee was one of the outstanding characters of our community. He was perhaps the most loved man Barnard has ever had in its midst. Fair in his dealings, competent in his practice, a servant of his people, his passing is a distinct loss to the entire community.
Dr. Larrabee was born at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He attended the Normal school at Kirksville and later graduated from the college of Physicians and Surgeons at Keokuk, Iowa. He began practicing medicine at Fillmore, Missouri where he married Emma Buchanan, who died about one year ago.
He later went to Whitesville where he became connected with a drug store there. Two children were born and died while he lived at Whitesville. He lived in Klamath Falls, Oregon, for eight years and has practiced his profession there and at Fillmore, Whitesville and Bolckow, before coming to Barnard in 1897. He was graduated from the Bellevue Medical College in New York in 1891.
Since coming to Barnard Dr. Larrabee has constantly been in the practice of his profession here except a short time when he was a lecturer in a medical college at Kansas City, about 16 years ago.
Dr. Larrabee became interested in Texas land several years ago and has made four trips to that state in the interests of his property.
He went to Omaha early last week, returning Thursday. He caught a severe cold the next day which invaded his chest and caused him to take to his bed Sunday at the home of his nephew and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Mchaffey. He was removed to a hospital in St. Joseph Tuesday where he died Wednesday night.
He is survived by a number of nephews and nieces, those being known here being Glen Mchaffey and Kenneth Beal, of St. Joseph. A number of nephews and nieces live in Iowa, Colorado and California.

Dr. J. [oseph] M. Larrabee was born in Mississippi, May 30, 1824. His father, Judge Aaron Larrabee, was a large planter and prominently known in that state, to which he had moved from France when a young man. The subject of this sketch received the benefits of a select school education in New Orleans, after which he took up the study of medicine under the tutorship of Dr. Stone. In due course of time he entered the Louisiana Medical University in New Orleans and graduated from that institution in the spring of 1846. In the autumn of the same year, he accompanied Gen. Scott's army to Mexico as physician and surgeon and was at the battle of Vera Cruz and served till the close of that war and then returned to the states. At the breaking out of the late war, his sympathies being with the South, he entered the Confederate service as first regimental surgeon in the Army of the Tennessee. He was afterward made division surgeon, serving through until the close.
After the war, he located in Adams county, Illinois and practiced his profession for over seven years, when he came to Missouri. After a temporary sojourn in different places, in January 1879 he became a resident of Maryville. The doctor for twenty-five years adhered to the Allopathic practice, but then changed over to the Homeopathic, having become convinced that it was better and truer.
He moved from Maryville to Omaha some years ago and from there to Kansas and from there to Polk county, Missouri and finally back to Maryville and then to Skidmore. He had many vicissitudes in this life, many ups and downs, yet was a man of warm sympathies and generous heart. In 1856 he was married to Miss Jane Dougherty of Ohio. Five children were born to them, namely, Gomeo, Willie, Jennie, Woodrow and Cassius. The changes of this inconstant life are over with him. Transplanted to a higher and better world, "there enlarged his Soul shall see where here was veiled in mystery." Peace to his ashes.

[LEADER, GEORGE]

Death of George Leader. Pioneer Printer of Northwest Missouri, and the Founder of the St. Joe Gazette.
George Leader, the pioneer printer of Northwest Missouri, died at his home three miles southeast of Guilford, in Washington township, on the 9th inst., of pneumonia fever. His wife and a family of eight children survive him. We give his history as related to us by himself recently. Said he, I was born in Pittstown, Penn., thirty miles west of Philadelphia, in 1815. When I was eight years old my father moved to Chambersburg, Penn. He moved to Bedford, Penn., a few years after where at the age of eighteen I entered the "Gazette" office and served three years. I went to Flemmingsburg, Kentucky, three years later and bought a printing press and run it for about six months when I sold it and went to Sumerset, Ohio. I went to Lancaster, Ohio, in the spring of '36 and took charge of the Lancaster "Gazette" for two years. I then returned to my old home and in the fall of 1841 started West and landed at Liberty, Clay county, Mo., where I purchased an office and started the "Western Journal." The first number was issued in January 1842, and contained John Tyler's message. Wm. Ridenbaugh came from Bedford, Penn, the following spring and went in partnership with me. In the fall of 1844 we sold out. Ridenbaugh got a press and started the "Gazette," and in the fall of 1845 moved to St. Joe. In the meantime I went to Platte City and helped a young man by the name of Hayes to start the "Platte Argus," the first paper printed in the Platte Purchase." I then went to St. Joe and helped Ridenbaugh to start the "Gazette."
When the Mexican war broke out, I enlisted in Col. Doniphan's regiment. My horse was condemned and I returned to St. Joe and went to work in the "Gazette" office. In 1847 I went to Savannah where a young man by the name of Nash had been running a paper called the "Western Empire," but failed for lack of patronage, in about a year and a half. I found what was left in an old house. The cases and stands were piled in a corner and the types all pied, upper and lower case, job type and sticks, altogether. The press lay in the yard. With the assistance of Lewis Styles, we got it together again and started the "Western Empire" once more. E. Livermore, a St. Joseph merchant, then came and wanted me to go to St. Joseph and run a newspaper for him. We got the necessary material and in the spring of 1848 issued the "Adventure." I taught Col. J. H. Cundiff how to set type in the "Adventure" office and worked on the "Gazette" office. After a visit to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, I went into the house of Middleton & Ripley, in St. Joe and sold goods for them until I came to Nodaway county.
January 9, 1851, I married Miss Alvira Joslin of this county. I worked on a farm for a time and then returned to the "Gazette" office. Ridenbaugh was elected circuit clerk and disposed of the "Gazette" to Holly and Carter of Savannah. Carter took my place on the "Gazette," and I took his on the paper he had been publishing in Savannah, where I worked until spring, when my career in the type business ended. Since then I have lived on my farm in Nodaway county. Capt. F. M. Posegate of St. Joe was under my instruction in the "Gazette" office at Bedford, Penn. Ridenbaugh learned the trade in the same office that I did. Sheepskin balls were then used to distribute ink on the forms. . . .
Mr. Leader set in type the first President's message ever transmitted over the wire to St. Joe.
At one time when St. Joe consisted of a few huts and before any one ever dreamed that a thriving city would be built there, he owned several of the best business lots there, among them Nave & McCord's location. They were disposed of for a trifling sum, not being deemed of much value then. Mr. Leader has seen many of the ups and downs of this world. He was one of the best printers of his day. He was a man respected by all and was never known to say a harmful word of any one. In his early days the now thriving cities of Northwest Missouri were only a few struggling villages and his career as a printer was then an eventful one. W.
[LEKEY, THOMAS]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 21, 1881
Mr. Thomas Lekey of Nodaway county, Mo., departed this life at the home of his son in said county, on the 14th day of July 1881. He was born in England in the year 1791. When but a boy he was kidnapped by the British and was in the war between the French and English. He obtained a furlough during that war to visit relatives and deserting the army came to America. A short time after his arrival in America the war of 1812 broke out and he enlisted and served during the war under the command of Gen. Harrison. He was married in Indiana and eight children were born to him. Three of these children have passed over the river of death before him; the other five are still living and one lives in this county. His first wife died about thirty years ago and his second wife only preceded him a short time. He was a man of reputed honesty in the community in which he lived. He was a member of the Episcopalain [Episcopalian] church in which he sustained a membership until the day of his death. His departure from this life was triumphant. The funeral services took place on the 15th and were conducted by Rev. W. L. Edmonds. His remains were laid to rest in the Heflin cemetery. Thus the old soldier lived to fight and die. He was a Mason for over thirty years.
[His headstone gives 1789 as his birth year. He is buried in the Wilcox cemetery, Wilcox, Nodaway County, Missouri.]

Death of George Lowe.
Mr. and Mrs. George Lowe lost on the 2nd inst., a bright boy aged nine years, after a sickness of three weeks with typhoid fever. A sympathizing friend has composed the following lines on the sad event.
Death has been here and borne away
A brother from our side;
Just in the morning of his day.
As young as we he died.
Not long ago he filled his place
And sat with us to learn,
But he has run his mortal race
And never can return.
Perhaps our time may be as short,
Our days may fly as fast,
Oh, Lord impress the solemn thought
That this may be our last.
All needful strength is Thine to give
To Thee our souls apply,
For grace to teach us how to live
And make us fit to die. A Friend.
