Death of Jennie Embree McArthur.
The sad news came to Mrs. J. V. Embree Tuesday, February 11, of the death of her eldest daughter, Jennie, wife of Dr. A. [ndrew] J. [ames] McArthur, at their home near Ansley, Nebraska, after a ten days illness of pneumonia. The message came to Mrs. Embree from her husband, who went to Ansley Monday in response to word of her serious illness, her death occurring Tuesday morning at nine o'clock. Mrs. Embree was sick and unable to go.
Mrs. McArthur had many friends in Maryville, as her life from babyhood to womanhood was lived here, and the news of her death is heard with deep regret.
The funeral will take place this Thursday in Ansley. A sister, Mrs. D. E. Mills of St. Louis, arrived in time for the funeral.
Mrs. McArthur leaves two other sisters and a brother—Brint R. Embree and Miss Ethel Embree, at home, and Mrs. Charles Haudenschield, who is at present in Pendleton, Oregon, in evangelistic work with her husband.
Jennie Embree McArthur was born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, October 9, 1869. At the age of two and one half years she came with her parents to Maryville, her father becoming principal of our schools soon after. She attended our schools and was always high in scholarship. At the age of fourteen she was converted and became a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Her life was worthy of her profession. Although of quiet, reserved manner, her companionship was charming.
When the Maryville Seminary was founded she entered as a student and finished with the first class graduated from that institution in June of 1892. She sustained her reputation as a student by carrying off the honors of her class with an unusually high grade and was valedictorian. The following year she was a teacher in the Mound City public schools.
On the 26th of September 1894, she became the wife of Dr. A. [ndrew] J. [ames] McArthur and went with him to Westerville, Nebraska, where he practiced medicine a number of years, later locating near Ansley. They had eight children, seven of whom are left to bear the irreparable loss of a good mother. Their names are: Mary, Frank, Horace, Lelia, Helen, Jessie Lou and Edward, the latter being but two years old and a stepson, James McArthur, who is now about sixteen years old.
Jennie Embree was Dr. McArthur's second wife. His first wife was Miss Hattie Beers, also of Maryville and a sister of Mrs. Wesley Bales. The two girls, Jennie Embree and Hattie Beers, were schoolmates in our public schools. Dr. McArthur is a brother of Mrs. Mary Hannold of Maryville and, we understand, has a brother living near Pickering. He is well known in Maryville, having spent his vacations here while fitting himself for his profession.

Mrs. McArthur was born in Pennsylvania October 9, 1869.
Her parents soon afterward moved to Missouri and they have since lived near Maryville. She was married to Mr. McArthur in 1894, then moved to Nebraska, where she has since lived. She joined the Methodist church at the age of 4 and has been a faithful and conscientious Christian worker ever since.
She leaves a husband and seven children, besides her people near Maryville. She will be buried at her Nebraska home.

Death of Mrs. Sallie McDowell.
Died at her home near Maryville, July 15, Sallie McDowell, aged 78 years. She was born in Kentucky and married at the age of 18 to William McDowell. Moved to Illinois in 1851 and to Missouri in 1870, was the mother of seven children, three of whom survive her. She was a faithful and devoted member of the Christian church for years.  She was entirely blind, nearly helpless for more than a year previous to her death, but she did not murmur or complain at her misfortune. She suffered but with sublime trust that suffering would end—an end in "joy unspeakable and full of glory." Many friends and kindred came to the funeral where we spoke a few words of comfort. Sainted women, we mourn thy departure but the hope that when life's sun has gone down we shall join thy company among the blessed shall compensate thy absence.   L. D. Cook.

Died At Carrollton. Former Resident of Maryville and Hopkins Died of Paralysis Monday, Oct. 4.
Charles Monier, formerly a farmer living near Hopkins and afterward a resident of Maryville for a few years, died at Carrollton Monday, October 4.
While in Maryville the family lived on East Seventh street. From here they moved to the Carroll county metropolis some years ago and have resided there since.
Mr. Monier was about 50 years old. Paralysis was the cause of death. The body was brought to Hopkins Tuesday for burial on Wednesday. The interment will take place at the Hopkins cemetery and will be under the auspices of the Masonic ritual.

The remains of Charles Monier of Carrollton, Mo., arrived in this place Tuesday evening, being accompanied by his son, Roy Monier and wife, and two children and two brothers of Mr. Monier and also Mr. Bowan of Carrolton.

[MONIER, CHARLES]
Henry News-Republican (Henry, Illinois), Thursday, October 14, 1909
Charles Monier Whose obituary is copied from the Carrollton (Mo.) Republican-Record, reads:
Charles Monier, 61 years, 5 months and 18 days, died Monday morning at 10:55 o'clock, at his home on West Heidel avenue, in Carrollton, Mo., after an illness of several months duration.
The subject of this sketch was born April 14, 1848, on the Isle of Man, a small island off the west coast of England. When he was two years of age his father moved to this country and located at Peoria. Mr. Monier received his education and grew to manhood in Saratoga township, Marshall county, Illinois and continued to reside there until 1880, when he moved to Missouri and settled on a farm near Hopkins in Nodaway county.
On Jan. 30, 1878, Mr. Monier was united in marriage to Miss Charlotte Doran, at Sparland, Ill. One child was born to this union, Roy Monier of Carrolton. In the month of May some eight or nine years ago, Mrs. Monier died, and she was laid to rest in the family lot at Hopkins. After the death of his wife, Mr. Monier was not contented with his old home, so he came to Carroll county with his only son in 1902 and settled near Bosworth. In 1907 he moved to Carrollton and has made his home with his son here since that time.
Mr. Monier was a man of splendid proportions and despite his 61 years, looked like a much younger man. In the early summer he commenced to fail in health, but he was of the opinion that it was only a temporary indisposition. As the weeks passed and [he] continued to fail, his son decided to take him to a sanitarium near Chicago. They made this trip, and he was given the advantage of the best physicians and nurses that money could procure but he grew no better.
After a vain search for health in the north the son decided to bring his father home, where he could pass his few remaining weeks among his friends. He came home about a month ago and for several weeks he seemed to be holding his own. In fact, he was not forced to take to his bed until one day last week. He did not seem to suffer any pain but was gradually wasting away and growing weaker. Throughout his sickness he was happy and cheerful and did not appear to fear death and when it was apparent to all that the end was near, he was as strong in controlling his feelings as were any of his loved ones. Sunday morning he began to sink and was unconscious most of the night. Monday morning he rallied to consciousness and conversed with those about him, but shortly after passed into unconsciousness again and died at the hour above stated.
Mr. Monier was a man who carved his way in the world. He learned in early life to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Being a man of more than ordinary ability, he soon forged ahead of his fellows and by the time he had reached middle age, had earned a competence to support him in his declining years. All the love that was in his big heart was showered on his only son after his wife was called hence, and the two were more like "chums" than father and son. In politics Mr. Monier was an ardent republican. He was not an office seeker or a politician in any sense of the word but believed in republican principles and policies. In addition to his son, he leaves one brother, Thomas Monier of Henry, Ill., who is the last remaining member of the Monier family.
In religion he early developed the habit of weighing things in the balance of reason, discarding that which to him did not harmonize with the Creator's plans as he saw God's laws in the big book of Nature. He believed in doing good for the sake of humanity and not in the fear of the anger and vengeance of a higher power. That we come into this life not of our own accord and we go not out of our own free will, but subject to the Supreme Power over all and to that Power he was willing to trust his fate when his time should come to meet the great mystery of death.
None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this. Those who have gone down into the valley of suffering and stood for months by the side of a loved one, as hope after hope dropped away as the petals fall from a fading flower, know that such anguish cannot find solace in the tenderest words. He who has gone forth could not be supported on his solitary path by any earthly friend. The son with a devotion few men are capable of, whose strength was given sweetly, tenderly to this precious invalid, whose heroic devotion never faltered, could not detain him by the clasp of earthly love but after the last word had been spoken, the last sign of recognition was gone, a look of peace settled on his face which proclaimed victory, and he knew he was resting on a mighty arm.
Impressive funeral services were held at the First M. E. church Tuesday morning, conducted by Rev. G. Z. Moore, after which the remains were taken to Hopkins, Mo., where the body of this good man was laid to rest with Masonic honors.
The afflicted family have the sympathy of the entire community in their hour of tribulation. – Carrollton (Mo.) Republican-Record.

Mrs. Monier Dead.
Taken With Hemorrhage Friday and Died Saturday Morning.
Mrs. Charles Monier, who has been seriously ill the past few weeks, was seized with hemorrhage Friday at her home near Hopkins and died Saturday morning at 10:30.
Mr. and Mrs. Monier resided in Northeast Maryville a year or more and moved from this place to their farm near Hopkins a year ago last March. Their only son, Roy Monier, attended the Seminary and was employed by The Tribune for a time.

Mrs. Chas. Monier Dead.
The Funeral Held Monday and Very Largely Attended—Floral Offerings Profuse.
Mrs. Chas. Monier, who has been sick for several months with throat trouble, died at her home, three miles south of Hopkins last Saturday morning at six o'clock.
Her trouble first annoyed her last February and the disease from the start stubbornly refused to yield to the treatment of the very best specialists in the country. Several weeks were spent in Chicago under the care of the foremost physicians of that city but to no avail, death being the only relief.
Mrs. Monier had a beautiful home, and loved her family in a marked degree, which affection was fully reciprocated, making her demise the sadder, but death is no respecter of person—the rich and the poor, the high and the low, all being required to pass through its dark valley.
The funeral services were held at the family residence on Monday afternoon, and the immense crowd in attendance told of the high esteem in which the deceased was held in this community, there being fully three hundred present.
Rev. Seelig, pastor of the Presbyterian church, preached the funeral discourse and his words were full of comfort and hope.
Burial took place in the Hopkins cemetery, the funeral procession containing more than seventy rigs.
The grave was lined with white cloth and flowers and the floral offerings from the family and friends were especially handsome and costly.
The pall bearers were E. C. Wolfers, A. C. Monroe, H. C. Russell, B. Wooldridge, Henry Demott and J. F. Robb.
Obituary
Charlotte Doran was born in Marshall Co., Ill., Dec. 23, 1852, where she lived till the death of her father in 1867. She then made her home with her mother and other relatives, spending part of the time in Wesleyan College, till her marriage to Charles Monier in 1879.  One year later they moved to the place that has so long born the name of home and from which she took her last leave of earth, May 18, 1901.
Mrs. Monier leaves a husband, a son, two brothers, one sister and a multitude of friends with bowed heads and bleeding hearts.
The name, Charlotte, means noble spirited and truly did she fill its meaning. As a wife, the kindest of the kind; as a mother, the wisest of the wise; as a friend, the truest of the true; and as a woman, honored being one of the best in the community. Neighbors and friends join in sympathy with these bereaved ones in their great loss.
Not only will she be missed in the home, but in the hearts and lives of neighbors and friends. Her life of light, though gone out, will still shine in the hearts of those who knew her.

Prominent Republican Was Found Dead in His Home in Carrollton.
CARROLLTON, Mo., Nov. 6. – Roy H. Monier, 65 years old, for many years prominent in Republican politics in Missouri, was found dead in his home here Monday.
A revolver was found near the body and Coroner Charles Rutt said Monier apparently had taken his own life. A note from Monier to relatives was found in the room, Rutt added.
Monier, an insurance and real estate dealer, held major appointments in three successive Republican state administrations. He was chairman of the state tax commission from 1921-25 under Governor Arthur M. Hyde; state grain and warehouse commissioner under the late Governor Sam A. Baker from 1925 to 1929 and under Governor Henry S. Canfield was president of the board of managers of the state eleemosynary institutions.
He had been in ill health since suffering a stroke while addressing a political meeting in St. Joseph about two years ago.
Always active in politics he was a delegate to the Republican national convention in 1920 and was party state vice-chairman the same year.
Born at Hopkins, Mo., he was graduated from Maryville Seminary in 1899 and received his B. S. degree from Northwestern University in 1904. He was married in 1905 to Lucy Derickson of Kenilworth, Ill. Mrs. Monier died five years ago.
Survivors include two daughters, Mrs. Alfred Ellett of St. Louis and Mrs. Marion Allen of Chicago.

Roy H. Monier, G. O. P. Leader, Takes Own Life
CARROLLTON, Mo., Nov. 6. – Roy H. Monier, 65-year-old insurance and real estate dealer, who had been prominent in Republican politics in Missouri for more than a quarter of a century, shot and killed himself in his home here yesterday afternoon.
Coroner Charles Rutt said Mr. Monier had been in ill health since suffering a stroke two years ago while addressing a political meeting in St. Joseph and had left a note saying he had lived his life and did not want to be a burden on anyone.
The note was addressed to a daughter, Mrs. Alfred Ellett, who, with her husband, found the body, fully clothed, on a bed in Mr. Monier's bedroom. There was a bullet wound above the right temple and a .38-caliber revolver was resting on his stomach, according to the coroner.
Mr. and Mrs. Ellett left the house at 1:30 p. m. and drove to Chillicothe. Mr. Monier said he was going to take a nap. On their return, Mrs. Ellett prepared dinner and when her father failed to answer her call, she and her husband investigated. The coroner estimated he had been dead about two hours.
Mr. Monier served in public office under three Republican governors. In 1921, while vice-chairman of the Republican State Committee, he was appointed chairman of the State Tax Commission by Gov. Arthur M. Hyde. He held that position until 1925, when Gov. Sam A. Baker named him state grain warehouse commissioner. In 1929, he was appointed president of the board of managers of state eleemosynary institutions by Gov. Henry S. Caulfield.
Funeral services will be held here at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow. Besides Mrs. Ellett, he is survived by another daughter, Mrs. Marion Allen of Chicago. His wife died five years ago.

Taken Home. Death of Jordon Montgomery.
DIED – January 10, 1881, at his father's residence near Quitman, Mo., Jordon Montgomery, aged sixteen years, two weeks and three days.
How little do we realize our mortality! Today we may be strong and happy; dreaming bright dreams of the future; looking forward to a long and happy life; laying plans for our enjoyment, dreaming not that we may be soon taken from our friends. Tomorrow they may be weeping over our cold remains. Such were our thoughts when we stood by the deathbed of Jordan Montgomery. The last day of the old year he was at school. The eleventh day of the new we saw him buried. It seems hard that one so young and interesting as he should be taken, while still in childhood's years to try the realities of the unknown world. But we mortasl understand not the ways of Him who rules the universe. But still we find comfort in his early death. We doubt not that he has been taken from a world of sorrow and darkness to one of perfect day, where he will never realize the sorrow and loneliness of those left behind to mourn over his early death. He had never stood by the bedside of a dying brother, sister nor parent. Never heard the cold clods as they hid from mortal view the form of a loved one. A few days before his death he said to one who was watching over him, "I have prayed to God ta take me to rest." God has answered that prayer! He has taken him home. To the weeping relatives we extend our heartfelt sympathies and for comfort commend them to Him who doeth all things well.  M. A. D.

"The Wages of Sin Is Death." Killing of R. C. Montgomery by John Joyce.
Shot in the Back.—Evidence at the Coroner's Inquest.—Biography of the Victim.
As a result of unbridled licentiousness, perhaps the gravest crime existent in our civilization on account of its far reaching consequences, a once prominent business man of Maryville lies dead at this writing, a once respected and retiring farmer lies in prison to await judgment upon his crime and entire families shrink as though blistered at the forcible exposure of their hidden skeletons.
At noon Tuesday, December 21, 1897, R. C. Montgomery was met on the west court house sidewalk, a little north of the southwest corner of the square, by John Joyce. Just as they passed, Joyce turned around and fired a shot from a 32 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver, the ball entering the left side of Montgomery's back. Montgomery whirled around and made some exclamation, when Joyce fired again, this ball tearing his clothing and grazing Montgomery's breast but not entering the body.
Joyce then started to run east on Third street and Montgomery after, the latter pulling a revolver as he ran. His fingers seemed to be paralyzed as he did not succeed in cocking the weapon. When he got about in front of Beattie & Curfman's hardware store he pitched forward on his face. He was turned on his back by James Todd of the Democrat, who was coming west from his office at the time and was the first to reach the unfortunate man. Others immediately rushed to the scene and the body was taken into S. G. Walker's drug store. Death probably followed when he fell.
The body was taken in charge by B. F. Anderson and removed to the home of the deceased and a coroner's inquest was held Wednesday, full details of which will be found below.
Joyce ran to the corner of Third and Market streets and then south on the latter street as far as the Union barn, where he surrendered himself to the authorities.
Cause of Killing.
For years the illicit relations of the deceased with the wife of the murderer had been notorious. Several times the wife and husband had separated but afterwards come together at the solicitations of relatives and others. Last Wednesday night Montgomery and Mrs. Joyce took the Wabash train east, remaining away a day or two, which is supposed to have been the culminating cause of desperation on the part of the husband.
Mr. Joyce is 50 years old and a native of Ireland. His parents came to this country when he was one and a half years old, settling in Illinois. He moved to Nodaway county in 1875, settling on a fine farm northwest of Maryville which he still owns. He was married soon after coming to Nodaway county to Catherine McCoy, and they have four children, all girls, the oldest one being married to John Hansen, the others living at home in Maryville, the family having moved into town several years ago.
Biography of the Deceased.
R. C. Montgomery was born in Halifax county, Virginia, April 13, 1844. His father was a farmer, John Montgomery by name, and his mother's maiden name was Mary Ridgeway. When R. C. was three years old his parents moved to Washington county, Indiana, where he grew up on a farm and received a common school education. When 21 years old he moved to Montgomery, Illinois, where he lived ten years, engaged in mercantile pursuits and serving four years as deputy county clerk.
On February 1, 1875, Mr. Montgomery came to Maryville to live, working in the real estate office of Morehouse & Sisson. He afterwards engaged in business by himself and then for years was a partner in the real estate business of Brown & Montgomery. After Mr. Brown removed to Oklahoma, Montgomery was in business alone for some time but for the past year he had been the senior partner in the firm of Montgomery, Gillam & Graves.
He was always active in politics, being an ardent Democrat. He served as secretary and chairman of the County Democratic Committee and was for two years private secretary to the late James N. Burnes. He was inclined to be somewhat domineering in disposition which caused him to be somewhat dislike but on the other hand he had many warm friends.
It is evident from two or three circumstances that Mr. Montgomery anticipated trouble. His revolver was freshly oiled when picked up after his death. Secondly, he had increased his life insurance within a very short time. And thirdly, his daughter Mamie says that her father very recently told her that if anything happened to him, B. F. Anderson should take charge of his body.
Mr. Montgomery was married to Laura M. Kinsley, of Hillsboro, Illinois, December 3, 1875, and they had four children, Mary Frances, aged 21, Robert Frank, 19, Nellie Dixon, 16, and Iva Bell, 8. The three girls lived with their father while the boy was in Indian Territory with his mother, who was divorced from Mr. Montgomery several years ago.
The deceased leaves an estate valued at about $20,00, besides some $5,000 life insurance.
The funeral service will be held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, December 24, 1897, from the residence in the block north of the Arlington hotel, conducted by Rev. S. P. Cresap, after which the remains will be laid away in Miriam cemetery.

"Death's Summons. Mr. James Morris of Atchison Township Called to the Unknown Bourne
The dreaded enemy of man has again visited our community and laid his icy fetters on one whose name was familiar with most of the people of Atchison township. Mr. James Morris, the subject of this sketch, departed this life on Wednesday morning, December 24th, after having been afflicted for four years with enlargement of the prostate gland. The disease was not the immediate cause of his death, but, as diseases of that kind sometimes do, resulted in hemorrhage of the lungs which terminated his existence in a few hours. To within thirty-six hours of his death, he was in his right mind and knew everything perfectly well. Monday night, however, he relapsed into insensibility and from the insidious torpor could not be aroused. He lingered until Wednesday morning; at three o'clock the spirit was released from the worn-out body and returned to him who gave it. He died easily and apparently without pain, a fitting end to one whose life and character were unsullied by the sordid and gross propensities of the world; whose every thought and action were those of honesty, virtue and truth; whose honesty and fair dealing with his fellowmen had secured for him a reputation above reproach and a character unstained by the venal licentious gossip of mankind. In all the relations of life his first desire seemed to be to oblige others; and was everyone to whom he did a kind act, to speak a word of praise, a long eulogy could not contain the adulation bestowed upon him. In his domestic intercourse he was kind, amiable and pleasant; although at times so bowed down with pain that life was a burden, no murmurings were heard; he bore his suffering which was great and trials that were many, with a fortitude and heroic endurance worthy the imitation of all. Feeling as we do that as a citizen we have sustained a loss that cannot be replaced and as a kind neighbor and noble and generous man the grief-stricken family feel more deeply than friends the separation that cannot be renewed in time. We are not so despairing when we reflect that our loss is his eternal gain; that his reward through all eternity will be in every way commensurate with the many noble impulses of soul which characterized his whole life from early youth to old age. The words of scripture, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord," are indeed a balm to our mourning hearts. That they are true, no true Christian who has felt the joys of the saving faith can deny; joyful consummation! What endless joys of heavenly bliss will be the portion of those whose hearts and minds are at peace with God. Of him for whom our eyes are dimmed with tears, as of all the countless dead, may these dear words apply and through the endless ages of eternity may they still be true. ". . .

From Quitman Record.
Joseph T. [rimble] Morris, son of Rev. and Mrs. William Morris, was born in Adelphia [Adelphi], Ross County, Ohio, August 26, 1859. He died in Quitman, Mo., November 28, 1897, aged 38 years, 3 months and 2 days. His father was one of the early Methodist preachers of Ohio, being a member of the Ohio conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the past fifty years. Joe was one of a family of four children, three of whom were girls. The elder one of these girls died some years ago in Iowa, where her husband, Rev. W. A. Wiseman, was a member of the Des Moines conference. The two sisters still living are Mrs. May Hough, of Chicago, and Mrs. J. W. Danner, of Loveland, Colorado, neither of whom were permitted to attend the funeral.
Mr. Morris' mother, an eminent Christian woman, died in 1864. Her influence on the life and character of her son was pronounced. In a short diary he left, we find this mention of his mother's death. "How well I remember that night. How I felt as she put her hand on my head, saying she would soon leave me, telling me to be a good boy. Through all these years I have felt the influence of my mother. I am sorry I was not always a good boy."
Mr. Morris came to Missouri, January 1, 1878, and located in Quitman, with an uncle, Augustus Radford. The most of his life since has been spent in this place. Mr. Morris was married September 22, 1880, to Miss Dora Carpenter, who died sixteen months later. From this union there were no children. He was married again December 25, 1894 [1884], to Miss Mattie Carden, with whom he lived happily for ten years. she died December 20, 1894, leaving four small children. One of the five children born to this union, Nellie, the eldest child, having died September 26, 1891, at the age of six years.

Mr. Morris was married the third time July 13 [23], 1896, to Miss Bertha Wendel, who has cared for him during his last illness with such devotion and faithfulness as is only known to woman. She has one child, Carl, aged four months.
Mr. Morris was a consistent member of the M. E. Church from his boyhood. He had a strong and abiding faith in God, his Saviour, and his death was the death of a Christian. He was a man of large spirit, liberal to a fault, a kind and indulgent husband and father and an unaltering friend. Through his many years of suffering, he was never known to complain and exhibited patience that was a marvel to his intimate friends. In speaking of the future, before his death he expressed himself as being entirely satisfied and ready to go.
The funeral services were conducted at the M. E. Church Tuesday afternoon, by Rev. J. M. Miller of Rosendale, ably assisted by Rev. Kinney, of Skidmore, and Rev. Bieber of this place. The remains were interred in the Odd Fellows cemetery north of town.  F. D. B.

Gone before us is our darling Eddie,

Vainly would we give up all,

"Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
    Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
    And bade it bloom there."

This lovely bud, so young, so fair,
    Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
    In Paradise would bloom.

There in the Shepherd's bosom,
    White as the drift snow,
Is the little lamb we missed this morn
    From the household flock below.

Happy Eddie, early blest!
  Rest, in peaceful slumbers, rest.
     Where immortal spirits reign,
There we all shall meet again. --- Aunt Anna, St. Joseph, Mo.
