A Sudden Death. Mrs. Henry Nelson Dies of Heart Disease.
Mrs. Mary L. Nelson, wife of Henry H. Nelson, died very suddenly last Tuesday night about ten o'clock. Mr. Nelson, who has been confined to his room with a sore back for several days, asked her about that time to put down a window as a cool draft of air was blowing in on him. She had not retired to bed but did so after putting down the window. In a few moments Mr. Nelson heard a sort of murmuring noise proceeding from the direction of her bed and called to her several times without getting any response. He groped his way to the bed as best he could in his crippled condition and found that she was inanimate and cold. He called to a young man who was sleeping upstairs. He came down and they wet a cloth and applied to her head when there were a few weak flutterings of the pulse and all was over. She had had some smothering spells in the last few months. Her death was evidently from heart disease. She was a sister to Lem Gault and was married to Mr. Nelson about three years ago. Funeral services were held July15, at 9 a. m., at the residence, conducted by Revs. Kenney and Cooper, after which her remains were consigned to the grave in Miriam cemetery. The sympathies of all are with Mr. Nelson in his sore affliction.

Sudden Death. Mrs. Mary Nelson Dies of Heart Disease.
Again has death called suddenly for his victim. On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Mary Nelson, wife of Henry Nelson, retired in her usual health. About half past ten, the window being open, the wind blew in rather strong; she arose and shut the window and came back and on lying down gave two or three gasps. Mr. Nelson asked her what was the matter and on receiving no answer became frightened and called for help. A young man boarding there came running in and Mr. Nelson told him that his wife had either fainted or was dying and to run for a doctor. He at once came for Dr. Nash but the Doctor on his arrival fund her quite dead. The blow was a severe one to Mr. Nelson, coming so suddenly as to stun him.
The funeral of the deceased took place this morning at nine a. m. at the residence on Fourth Street.
Mrs. Nelson was a good wife and now that she is gone Mr. Nelson is left entirely alone in his old age. He has the sympathy of all in his affliction.

His Sister Dead
Mrs. Laura Smith Noland, sister of Jas. Smith, of Stanberry, died at her old home, near Island City, last Thursday. Mrs. Noland, who was past 75 years of age, had been in failing health for some time and failed rapidly in the past three months.
The following obituary has been furnished this office:
Laura Diana Smith, daughter of Sidney and Mary Ann Smith, was born near Guilford, Mo., October 8, 1862, and died on November 11, 1937, at the age of 75 years, one month and three days.
She was married to Samuel J. Noland on March 1, 1882, in Nodaway county and lived there until 1902, when she moved to her home place near Island City. They resided there until 1910, when they moved to King City.
Mrs. Noland was the mother of five children, Mary E. Wiley, of the home; Lillie E. Karr, of St. Joseph and Stella Cook, of Maryville. One child died in infancy and Chesley died in 1935. Besides the three daughters, she also leaves to mourn her departure, nine grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.
Mrs. Noland is also survived by the following brothers and sisters: Harvey Smith, of Bolckow; Jas. Smith, of Stanberry; Sarah Bradley, of Denver, Colo.; Emma Cook, of Guilford; Nannie Breit, of Savannah; and Mrs. Henry Cook of Maryville. There are also other relatives and friends.
When she was but a girl she united with the Methodist church in Guilford, and later, in 1893, became a member, with her husband, of the Bethel church. Several years ago, their memberships were transferred to the Methodist church in King City.
After Mr. Noland's death on December 27, 1932, she continued to make her home in King City. Two years ago she went back to her old home near Island City, to live with her daughter, Mrs. L. H. Wiley, who cared for her tenderly in her declining years.
During her days of affliction, she expressed a desire to go to church and during her last days in her old home, she was glad to meet and talk with old neighbors and friends. Through her passing, the church has lost one of its members, her friends a neighbor and the children a mother.
Funeral services were held last Friday afternoon at the Methodist church in King City and interment was in the King City cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Smith attended the final rites last Friday.

Mrs. Margaret O'Donnell, wife of James O'Donnell, of Grant township, died at her residence on August 24th, after a weeks severe illness. Her demise was sudden and unexpected to her family and friends, all the loving care and efforts of husband and children could not prolong the life to them so dear and precious.
On August 25th, the funeral burial services were held at the Conception Catholic Church and all that remained of the wife, the mother and esteemed friend of so many was consigned to the quiet rest of the grave. The large attendance at the funeral and the evident sorrow of friends and family alike showed how deeply they regretted the loss of one none knew but to love and esteem. Comfort to the afflicted can only come through the channel of Hope. Such was the life of a Christian Mother and those whose lives correspond, have bright hopes of meeting in the promised Heaven of eternal life.

Death of W. C. Orear. An Old and Honored Citizen Gathered to His Fathers.
The readers of the Democrat have seen several times in the past year and a half mention of the fact that Mr. Orear was in feeble health. It was his lot to suffer a protracted illness but his sufferings were terminated July 1, at 3:30 p. m., by death's kindly stepping in and translating him to a higher life.
The funeral services were conducted at the M. E. Church, South, Sunday, the 3d, at four p. m., by Rev. S. P. Cresap, pastor, who gave the following sketch of the deceased:
"William Clinkscales Orear, the deceased, entered into this life in Henry county, Virginia, September 20th, 1816; entered into his final inheritance July 1st, 1898, at the ripe age of 81 years, 9 months and 11 days.
His early and formative years were spent in his native state. It was here that he no doubt imbibed his strict ideas of justice, learned the pleasure and satisfaction of whole-souled hospitality and laid the foundation of a temperate and moral life., which have been his characteristics during his entire history. At the age of 15 he left Virginia, in company with his father, John Orear, for the new, and at that time, undeveloped state of Missouri. They settled and for a time farmed in Ralls county, this state. In several years, Mr. Orear moved to Carroll county, from which place we find him soon moving north to Iowa. In Iowa he remained twelve years, engaged in farming and mining. Removing now to Missouri he takes up residence in Carroll county again, where he remains for seven years. We have followed him now in his movings to and fro in a virgin country until the year 1855. Maryville was then but a small town and the county but sparsely settled. The beautifully rolling country of Nodaway county caught his eye; the people whom he met he found congenial; the climate to his taste. The result was that in this year of '55 he brings his family and permanently locates here. During this long period that reached to the time of his death, he has lived in your midst, an honorable and respected citizen. In the development of your city and county he always helped. He loved his commonwealth and was true to the community in which he lived.
We go back in this sketch of his life to the year 1844, when we find him entering a new epoch in his life. It was then that he married Mrs. Mary A. Israel, of New York; with whom, until her death a few years ago, he lived most happily. She was in every sense a help-meet to him. Her tender and womanly nature mingled well with his rugged manliness. Of this marriage, two children were born. These, with a step-daughter, who was esteemed in every way as his own, remain to mourn his departure.
Brother Orear was a man of exceptional character. His life was active, his mind was busy; he kept up with the times, was acquainted with all current events. His memory of affairs was remarkable. His business ability was of the best. He was strictly honest and conservative. As his pastor and intimate friend, I have found him an honest and generous-hearted man, honorable in his dealing with men, respected for his integrity, a faithful, thoughtful father, a loyal Methodist and all beautifully crowned with the glory of a Christian character.
W. C. Orear lived and moved among you. He has now gone to his reward. You knew him and this concourse of people today show respect to his memory.
Peace be to his ashes. Green be his memory. May our lives emulate is virtues. May we fall as he fell with our eyes heavenward. Let us live to meet him and our loved ones who have died in Christ."
Rev. Cresap read the 90th Psalm and the 15th chapter of First Corinthians and preached an able and an appropriate sermon. He alluded to the fact that Mr. Orear had long years ago made his peace with God and that ever since he had been devoted and faithful in his Master's service. He manifested a great interest in church affairs, had done more than anyone else in the matter of erecting an elegant house of worship and the parsonage. He was a liberal contributor to all the benevolent funds of the church and his heart went out in substantial sympathy to the old and worn-out preachers. During his long last sickness, passages from the Blessed Book were read in his room every day and at all times he manifested an implicit faith that in death he should find glorious triumph and that his spirit should be wafted through the skies to the beautiful home of the soul beyond.

[RECORDS, ALVIN]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, August 27, 1885
Died, at his home in Nodaway county, Mo., on the 5th day of Aug., 1885, in the 17th year of his age, Alvin Records, son of James and Josephine Records, after a protracted illness of a complicated form, which he bore with patience and cheerfulness. Though Alvin's stay among us was brief, he greatly endeared himself to his kindred and friends by his amiable and sunny disposition, as was evidenced by the large crowd of neighbors and friends who followed his remains to their last lasting place in the Groves cemetery, under the vertical rays of an August sun.
The words of the grief-stricken mother to the writer, who preached his funeral from Romans 1st and 16th were: He gave such evidence as amounted to a comfortable assurance that he died at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." The gospel, the power of God unto salvation, could give comfort in that grief-laden hour, when nothing else could. Sleep on, dear Alvin, we will all come soon.
"He shall sleep, but not forever
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no never,
On the resurrection morn."
