Miss Lizzie Marshall Dead.
Elizabeth W. Marshall was born December 15, 1873, near Ames, Iowa, and died June 16, 1901, in Maryville, at the home of her uncle, Augustus DeLana, on South Main street. Her death was caused by paralysis brought on by overwork and too close confinement.
A short prayer service was held at the DeLana residence Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. E. B. Lytle. The remains were taken to Chariton, Iowa, on the 10 night train where they were interred beside her mother and brother. Her brother-in-law, Arthur C. Hughes, of Chariton; her brother, Robert D. Marshall, of St. Joseph; her sister, Miss Manchie Marshall, and Miss Carrie DeLana of Maryville were met at the station by Rev. George H. Bradford of Wesley church of St. Joseph, her former pastor, and several St. Joseph friends, all of whom accompanied the remains to Chariton. Her father, six sisters and two brothers survive her.
Miss Marshall was reared near Ames, Iowa, and moved with the family to Chariton, Iowa, where she attended school, graduating from the public schools of Chariton in 1892. The family then moved to St. Joseph, Mo., where she resided until the death of her mother and brother which occurred within a period of six weeks, about one year and a half ago, after which she went to St. Louis where her sister lives and attended the St. Louis school of fine arts until she was appointed teacher in the Maryville Seminary of art and elocution where she had just closed a most successful year and had been re-elected for the ensuing year.
Miss Marshall visited Maryville several different times and during her work of the past year she had made [an] unusually large number of friends. The deepest sympathy of the entire community is felt over her unexpected demise.

Death of Miss Marshall.
Miss Elizabeth Marshall, who so efficiently filled the place of art teacher in the Maryville Seminary the past year, died Sunday night, at 11:30 at the home of her uncle, Augustus DeLana of this city. She had not been in good health for some time but was not confined to her bed but eight or ten days. She was a sister of Miss Manchie Marshall. Rev. Lytle conducted a brief service at the DeLana home Monday at 3 p. m. Mrs. Fred Robinson and Miss Jennie Garrett each sang a solo. Many floral offerings were contributed.
The body was taken to Chariton, Iowa, for burial.
To see one so talented, so amiable and so useful cut off so early in life is one of the things that the human mind cannot understand, but God doeth all things well.

Elizabeth Winifred Marshall -- Miss Lizzie Marshall, formerly of this city, died at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Nancy Delano, in Maryville, Missouri, on Sunday night at twelve o'clock, after a brief illness with nervous prostration and paralysis.
The remains were brought to Chariton and on Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock funeral services were held at the M. E. church, conducted by Presiding Elder W. B. Thompson, assisted by Rev. P. J. Volmar of this city, and her former pastor, Rev. D. H. Bradford of St. Joseph, Missouri. Funeral services were also held at the home of her aunt in Maryville on Monday afternoon at three o'clock. The remains were laid to rest in the Chariton cemetery by the side of her mother and brother.
Miss Elizabeth Winifred Marshall, daughter of Robert Marshall of this city, was born in Ames, Iowa, on November 15, 1873. With her parents she came to Chariton in 1881 and resided here for many years. She graduated from our public schools, and to her schoolmates and friends the news of her untimely death came as a severe and sudden shock.
She united with the M. E. church here on November 9, 1890, and has since lived a faithful Christian life. She was an active member of the church and an earnest worker.
Several years ago the family moved to St. Joseph, Missouri. Two years ago last February her brother Homer died and in April following that her mother passed away. She assisted in caring for them during their illness and her own health was broken down. She recuperated to a certain extent and then went to St. Louis where she entered the art school and took special training in elocution. She was later offered and accepted the position of teacher of art and elocution in the seminary at Maryville, which she filled with excellent satisfaction. Three weeks ago her health again gave way and a week before her death she suffered a stroke of paralysis.
Although she is gone, the impress of her forceful character and attractive personality will long remain with those who mourn her, and be an inspiration towards all that is true and good. A father, six sisters and two brothers are left to mourn her death and in their sorrow they have the sympathy of the entire community.

A Useful Life Ended. Death of Noah McCaskey, of Barnard.
On Friday, July 9, about noon, the spirit of Noah McCaskey winged its flight to the eternal realms. Mr. McCaskey came from Ohio to Barnard some six years ago. He engaged in teaching school for a year or two after he came to this county and then associated himself with Dr. J. W. Heath in the drug business in Barnard. Subsequently he was in partnership with John C. Curnutt in the same business. Some time prior to his death he sold his interest to Mr. Curnutt.
For the past year he had been complaining of ill health and since last April had been confined to his room. Consumption was the fatal disease, complicated with softening of the brain.
Mr. McCaskey was unmarried. His age was about thirty. A brother was with him for some two months before his demise. He had no relatives living here.
The deceased was universally esteemed. He had no enemies. Everybody liked Noah. He was a zealous and a very bright Mason and belonged to both the Chapter and the Commandery of this city. He had been W. M. of Barnard lodge for two terms. Irwin McDowall, grand lecturer of the State, pronounced him one of the brightest Masons, about two years ago, in Northwest Missouri.
His remains were taken back to his old home in Athens county, Ohio, for burial. They were escorted last Saturday to the train, by the Masons, several of this city participating.
It is thought that the seeds of the disease which culminated in his death were inhaled into his system by sleeping for some years in an apartment of his drug store and by close confinement and hard work.
His death is much lamented in the community where he was an honored citizen and a useful business man.

Another Landmark Gone.
Mr. John G. Millen died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. J. H. Whedbee, in Maryville, last Monday afternoon, at ten minutes of 3 o'clock, at the advanced age of 83 years. The deceased was one of the oldest residents of Gentry county and perhaps had a larger number of genuine friends and acquaintances than any other resident. He was one of the pioneers of the county, having lived here continually since 1854, up to a short time ago, when he took up his home in Maryville. He was born in South Carolina on the 12th day of February 1803. With his parents he moved to Kentucky while young and was brought up in that state. Afterwards he moved to Morgan county, Ills., where he resided for many years, after which he moved with his family to Gentry county, Mo. and settled on the prairie in the vicinity of Ford. At that time there were but few residents in that part of the county and for a time his neighbors were scarce. He improved his farm and enjoyed prosperity. His house was on the state road leading from Albany to St. Joesph, where he kept the post office and welcomed the weary traveler who could find no other stopping place on the then wide stretch of prairie.
Later in his life, the subject of this sketch took up his residence in Albany, where his wife died some years ago. There were ten children in the family, six of whom preceded him, there being four alive at this time, viz: Mrs. Dr. Antrobus, of Denver, Worth county, Mo.; Mrs. G. P. Taylor, King City; M. L. Millen, cashier of the Gentry County Bank, Albany, and Mrs. J. H. Whedbee, Maryville. He had been afflicted for many years with diabetes, which, together with old age, caused his death, at the time stated above, where he sank into a peaceful rest.
As to the character and personal worth of the deceased, the writer can only speak of him as one whom he knew only by what others say of him, and the estimation of a man's neighbors is the only true testimony of his worth. Those who had been associated with him for many years and knew him as a neighbor, speak of him as a true Christian, a faithful friend, an amiable companion, an honest, upright citizen—the full measure of a man.
The funeral took place at the Cumberland Presbyterian church at King City, at 12 o'clock, Wednesday, the services being conducted by Rev. Cooper of the M. E. church, South, of which denomination the deceased had been a faithful member for many years. The remains were interred in the Millen cemetery, four miles northeast of King City, near the old homestead.

He was a good man, an accommodating neighbor and an upright citizen who was respected by all who knew him. His remains were laid to rest on Wednesday in the family burying ground a few miles northeast of King City, Gentry county, where a large concourse of sympathizing friends and relatives gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to the honored dead.

Six of the children, 2 daughters and 4 sons, have also preceded her.

--Miss Annie A. Miller, daughter of Mrs. J. [ohn] B. [ascobel] Miller, died at her home in this city last Sunday aged 18 years. For several years she was employed as a compositor in the office of the Maryville Republican but gave up her position about two months ago on account of bad health and died of quick consumption. Annie was an industrious, bright and lovable girl and her untimely death in the springtime of life is a sad blow to her devoted mother and a large circle of friends. Her funeral services were conducted by Elder Canady last Tuesday at the M. E. church after which her remains were laid to rest in Miriam cemetery beside her father who died about a year and a half ago. May a kind Providence sustain her bereaved mother in her great affliction.

Sweet Rest. Annie A. Miller Gently Falls Asleep.
Death comes to the young as well as the old, to the pure and lovely, as well as to him who works unrighteousness. It is allotted to all men to die but when the young and beautiful are called, our tears fall faster and our hearts are wrung with a deeper agony than when the aged, whose lifework is over, lie down to rest. Death never called for a purer bride than when he took sweet Annie Miller to himself. As if softened by her purity, he touched her with a gentle hand, and she went to rest, as a child falls asleep on the bosom of its mother.
She had just stepped into womanhood, being eighteen years of age at the time of her death. She entered the Republican office when she was thirteen years of age, as compositor, and with the exception of a few months, has been in the office ever since.
When her father was called to his long home, nearly two years ago, she took his place in the office and until last Christmas was continually at her post. She was always fragile and pale, looking almost like a piece of chiseled marble. During the holidays she took a buggy ride with her uncle Jasper, who was here visiting her, from Washington county, Kansas. It was her last ride. She contracted a violent cold which quickly developed into quick consumption.
She was doomed from the beginning. But no one thought the end so near. She complained of no pain during her sickness, but was only tired—so tired.
Sunday morning she appeared better than usual and the loved ones who watched, fondly hoped that perhaps after all she might rally. A little after ten, her mother asked her if she would take a little nourishment. She said: "Let me rest a little, mother, first." Turned herself in bed, gave a gentle sigh and closed her eyes forever. It was hard to realize she was dead.
Her funeral services took place at the M. E. church on Tuesday at two P. M. She was laid to rest beside her father whom she loved so well. Let us hope that it was he who first welcomed her to the celestial shore.
To the afflicted brothers and sisters and especially to the afflicted mother, our heartfelt sympathies go out. It was a terrible shock, indeed, to that devoted mother. But a few months ago, she gave up a loving husband and now the daughter, whose tender hands sustained her, and, in a measure, supplied his place, is taken. May the loving Father above sustain her, comfort her and tenderly bind up the bleeding heart.
Annie is not dead but sleeping; sleeping the sleep of the pure and holy. No more will her eyelids close in weariness. Around her are the beauties and glories of the heavenly world. Weep not for her, she is at rest.

Father Arrested. John Moore Had Come to Attend Funeral of His Wife.
His Sanity Questioned. Proceedings Were Dismissed—Burial of Mrs. Eliza Moore Took Place Tuesday at Miriam Cemetery.
When John Moore, formerly of this city, stepped from the Wabash train Tuesday evening, on his arrival from Pueblo, Col., having been summoned by the death of his wife, Mrs. Eliza Moore, he was taken in charge by Deputy Sheriff George L. Evans on an information sworn out by his son, Charles Moore of this city, charging him with insanity.
Mr. Moore came to Maryville in the company of his daughter, Mrs. J. M. Woodard of Pueblo, formerly Miss Luella Moore of this city. They came from Pueblo, expecting to arrive in Maryville on the noon train Tuesday in time for the funeral services, which were held at the First M. E. church Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. They missed their train by twenty minutes in Kansas City and came on the Great Western to Conception Junction, expecting to come by automobile from that point. But owing to the heavy rain they were unable to secure a car to Maryville.
Mr. Moore and his deceased wife left Maryville last November to spend the winter with their daughter in Pueblo and remained at her home until a few weeks ago, when they went to Kansas City to the home of their son, Sylvester Moore.
Three weeks ago Mrs. Moore was taken ill and was removed to the Red Cross hospital, where her death occurred on Sunday night at 10 o'clock. Her death was due to a general decline.
About the time that Mrs. Moore was taken ill her husband became sick and was placed in one of the hospitals there. Mrs. Woodard came to Kansas City about a week ago and took her father with her to Pueblo, as her mother seemed better at that time. They were in Pueblo only four days when word came to them of her death.
Mrs. Woodard was greatly surprised when her father was taken in charge Tuesday night on a complaint of insanity.
Mr. Moore's case was set for hearing in the probate court before Judge W. H. Conn Wednesday morning. He appeared in the court and before a jury was drawn the case was dismissed by Charles Moore.
The attorneys for Charles Moore dismissed the case in probate court against John Moore, as one of the attorneys stated, for the reason that they could not get the depositions of several physicians in Kansas City in time for the case as set today.
The funeral services of Mrs. Moore were held Tuesday afternoon, and the body was held for burial at the undertaking rooms of the Maryville Furniture company. The burial services were private and were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Miriam cemetery. The pallbearers were O. C. Hanna, J. F. Montgomery, S. H. Kemp, C. D. Hooker, W. A. Miller and J. C. Conley. The other children at the burial services were Sylvester Moore of Kansas City and Mrs. Belle Moore Russell of Tacoma, Wash.

Adaline Morehouse, nee Baldwin, was born in the state of Massachusetts, Dec. 24, 1814. Died April 6, 1902. Aged eighty seven years, three months and twelve days.
When quite young she removed with her parents to Catarague [Cattaraugus] county, New York, where in her early youth she united with the Baptist church.
About 1843 she removed to Ohio and was married February 24, 1844 to Abram K. Morehouse, who died August 27, 1887.
To this Union were born six children, two sons and four daughters; of these two sons and two daughters survive her.
In 1869 she removed with her family to this county, settling five miles southwest of Hopkins which was her home for many years.
After the death of her husband, she made her home with her son Henry till about two years ago, when he went west on account of his health. Since then her home has been with her daughter, Nancy Coomer.
Full of years, her life has been one of peace and comfort, all being ready to lighten the load of age.
Her life was for her home and well did she do her work, her family being respected and useful members of society. She is the last of the older Morehouse families, all the brothers and sisters having passed on before.
She was sick only a few days and all knew the end was near, and on Sunday about three p. m. quietly passed through the gate to her eternal home.
All her family were present but one, who was so far away he could not come. Henry made his mother a visit during the winter, but could not stay longer and bidding her an affectionate adieu returned to his home in Idaho, feeling it probable that he might never see her again; and though so far away his sorrow is the more keenly felt and with those who are here mourns the loss of a dear mother.
The funeral services were conducted from the home of her daughter, Mrs. Baldwin, by Rev. Flin[n], of the Christian church and her remains laid to rest in the Hopkins cemetery to await the sounding of the last trump.
The family have the sympathy of the community in their great loss.

Mrs. Minerva Moreland, wife of James Moreland, of Caldwell, departed this life Aug. 5th, 1886, and was laid away to rest in the City cemetery the following day. Mrs. Moreland was born near Maryville, Mo. and was the daughter of a respectable farmer by the name of Baker. She was married to James Moreland Feb. 1st, 1867 and lived in Missouri about one year before moving to Monroe county, Kansas, from which place she came to Sumner county with her husband and family, remaining in the city and vicinity of Caldwell for several years, then moved with family to Grafton, New Mexico, in the year 1882, remaining upon a stock ranch near Antelope springs for about three years then returned to Caldwell, Kansas to die. While living on this ranch near Grafton, Sierra county, New Mexico, a savage band of lawless Apache Indians came upon her little son Harvie, who was in company with two other neighbor boys, cleaning out the springs above mentioned then and there murdered all three, beating in the head, breaking an arm and otherwise brutally mangling her dear boy, who was only sixteen years old, with iron crowbar. This awful tragedy happened about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the sad, heart-rending intelligence of which reached this loving parent shortly after. The sad news was a terrible shock to her—falling upon bended knees with uplifted hands and cheeks bathed with bitter tears, were the agonizing cries of this sorrowing mother painfully born out upon the evening breeze to sympathizing relatives and friends—and she never smiled again. From this horrid tragedy did this affectionate mother receive her death blow. Confined to her bed soon after, she never regained her former strength but gradually sank beneath her burden of sorrow until 3 o'clock on the afternoon of August 5th, when dissolution set in and relieved her of further pain and sadness, leaving an endeared husband and an affectionate little son and two daughters to mourn her inestimable loss. Mrs. James Moreland was much of a lady, a kind wife, fond mother and homelike woman, respected by all who had the pleasure of forming her acquaintance. She was 37 years, 8 months and 29 days old on the day of her death. Thus, has a fine woman and an affectionate wife and mother been committed to an untimely grave through the brutal savagery of a lawless band of blood thirsty Indians. . . .

LAMAR STATION – The sad news of the death of Mrs. James Moreland was received last week. She died with consumption at Caldwell, Sumner county, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Moreland were brought up from early childhood in the northern part of this county. Her maiden name was Nerva Baker. They were married about eighteen years ago on the farm where this article was written. They have lived most of the time in Kansas, the mountains and New Mexico. In the last named place, one year ago the 25th of last May, their eldest child, a son, was killed by Geronimo's band of Indians. The tragic death of her idolized boy, Harvey, broke the mother's heart and she never rallied from that shock but gradually sunk to the grave. Her husband brought her to Kansas intending to come on to her people, but the death angel came on the sixth of August and set her wearied spirit free. She was glad to go, died trusting in the promises of God. She said: "In that land of peace and rest I will meet my murdered child." She leaves a husband and three children, two daughters and one son in Kansas. Here, a loving mother, aged seventy-five years, whose grief is heart-rending, three brothers, Harvey, John and Monroe Baker, one sister, Mrs. Wm. Crigger, east of Clearmont, one half-brother, Ben Gray, and a half-sister, Mrs. Josie Davis. One brother and sister, Joe Baker and Mrs. Emily Skinner, live at Pacific City, Iowa. She was of a bright, sunny disposition and wherever she went made many warm friends. A devoted wife and mother, an affectionate sister and a loving daughter.

At Rest. Death of Dr. James W. Morgan.
Dr. James W. [oods] Morgan, one of the oldest physicians in Nodaway county, died last Thursday at his home in Graham. Deceased had been in bad health for some time and his death was not, therefore, entirely unexpected.
Dr. Morgan was born in Shelby county, Indiana, March 22, 1834. In 1841 he came with his parents to Nodaway county, where he has ever since resided, being at the time of his death one of the oldest Pioneers of the Platte Purchase. He studied medicine and commenced its practice in Nodaway county in 1859 and continued therein until his death, with the exception of during the rebellion. In July 1861, he entered the service in the State Militia, being commissioned First Lieutenant of Company "H" of Kendle's Regiment, in which position he acted for six months. In March 1862, he enlisted in the 4th Missouri Cavalry and commissioned First Lieutenant of Company "K." That summer he was put on detached duty as Assistant Provost Marshal, District of Southwest Missouri, serving about one year in that position. He then rejoined his regiment but was soon taken sick and was forced to send in his resignation, dated September 12, 1863. In April 1864, he was commissioned Assistant Surgeon of the 43d United States Colored Infantry, but the death of his wife compelled him to decline. Dr. Morgan had been for many years a prominent Mason, Odd Fellow and Grand Army man, having filled all the positions in the various subordinate lodges, been a member of the Grand Lodges and Grand Encampment of the State and held various commissions as District Deputy. He was always an ardent Republican, active in the work, and as a friend, neighbor and physician, will be greatly missed.

In the fall of 1854 he commenced the study of medicine with Drs. J. V. A. Woods and B. G. Ford. On August 3, 1856 he was married to Laura F. Scott, at Maryville, Mo., by Rev. S. T. Renfro. There were born of this union four children, all of whom died young. Mrs. Morgan was the daughter of Ebenezer and Hulda Scott and was born in Vermont September 30, 1835. She died at Graham, May 12, 1864.
Dr. Morgan commenced the practice of his profession in Graham, Nodaway county, Mo., July 3, 1859, and continued there until July 3, 1861, when he was driven off by Confederates. He went to "Dodely's," and served in the Home Guards until September, when he was commissioned first lieutenant of company H., Kemble's regiment of state troops. After serving his term of six months he was discharged and immediately reenlisted in the Fourth Cavalry regiment of the Missouri State Volunteer Militia, U. S. A., commanded by Col. Geo. H. Hall. He was commissioned first Lieut. of company K, May 14, 1862, and served on provost duty for nearly a year, being Assistant Provost Marshall, District of Southwest Missouri. Being taken sick in the summer of 1863 he was forced to offer his resignation, dated September 12, 1863. In December 1863 he moved back to Graham whence he had been driven two and one-half years before. April 14, 1864, he was commissioned Assistant Surgeon of Colored troops, but the sickness and death of his wife forced him to decline the commission and ended his military record.
Dr. Morgan then resumed the practice of medicine at Graham in which he had continued to the time of his death. On the 19th day of January 1865, he was married near Burlington Junction to Miss Sophia Frances, eldest daughter of James R. [ussell] and Cavilla F. Bradford. By this union five children were born, four of whom, with the sorrowing wife, survive the departed. He belonged to the Masons and Odd Fellows, having filled nearly every subordinate position in the lodges, been representative to various Grand Lodges and acted as District Deputy many times. He was also a prominent member of the Grand Army, and his heart was always open to the claims of an old soldier.
The last sad obsequies were held at the Methodist church in Graham, on Saturday, April 17, 1866, Rev. W. M. Sapp officiating. After the crowded house had viewed his remains for the last time on this earth, they were borne away and laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' cemetery. [Poem not transcribed.]
