UPPER ELKHORN – A short time since Mrs. Wm. McCombs was summoned to the deathbed of her sister, Mrs. Thompson, in Sumner county, Kansas, as she wished to see her little girl babe, Edith, before she died. It will be remembered that Mrs. Thompson visited Mrs. McCombs some two months last fall and made great improvement in health and when she left for her home in Chicago, she gave her babe to Mrs. McCombs. But when they reached there the kind sister and loving mother was cold and still in death. Mrs. McCombs expects to be at home Monday.

A Good Woman Gone. Death of Mrs. Anne Totterdale, on Tuesday Morning.
We are pained to announce the death of Mrs. Anne Totterdale, which sad even occurred at the residence of her son, W. H. Totterdale, in this city, at 3:00 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Totterdale was one of the oldest residents of Maryville and probably no person in Maryville was more universally esteemed than was she. Her maiden name was Hurford, and she was born in Enmore, county of Somerset, England, February 15th, 1824, where she grew to womanhood. In 1847 she gave her hand in marriage to George Totterdale. Four children were born of this union, three in the old country and one (long since dead) in the United States. The surviving children are Wm. H., of this city, Mrs. Ira Kellogg, of Oberlin, Kansas, and Mrs. Lukey of this city.
In 1857, Mrs. Totterdale, accompanied her husband and children to the United States, where the husband died five days after their arrival. After remaining a time in New York, the family moved to Wisconsin, from where they moved to Maryville in the fall of 1870, where she has resided continuously ever since, with her son, Henry, who has made her declining days full of peace, contentment and happiness. She was for many years a member of the Episcopal church and died in that faith.
Mrs. Totterdale was a woman of more than ordinary intelligence and a pleasing conversationalist. With a warm, open heart, she made friends with all with whom she came in contact. Her children were with her at the closing hours, except her daughter Mrs. Kellogg, who arrived Tuesday noon. A noble woman has indeed gone from among us.
Her remains were laid to rest in Miriam cemetery on Wednesday, the funeral services being conducted at the residence by Elder Kinney. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to their lasting place.

Death's Summons. In Obedience to it Mrs. Anne Totterdale Passes to the Other World.
Mrs. Anne Totterdale died at the residence of her son, Wm. H. Totterdale, in this city last Tuesday morning, February 16, at 3 o'clock, after a week's sickness of pneumonia. She was born at Avon, county of Somerset, England, February 15, 1824, and consequently was one day over 62 years of age at the time of her death. One week before the day on which she died she was up town in her usual health.
In her Bible (an edition printed in 1839) is the following entry: "Presented to Anne Hurford on leaving the family of Rev. T. B. Richardson, St. David's, South Wales, in 1844."
As will be seen from the above her maiden name was Anne Hurford. Her husband's name was George Totterdale. They had four children: Wm. H., Maria Jane, Mary Ann and Ellen Lovinia. Ellen died in 1861, aged about four years.
The family left England in 1858 and came to New York, her husband dying on the 5th day after their arrival at New York. The widow and children remained there until the fall of that year when they moved to Columbia county, Wisconsin. In 1865, they moved to Waukesha county, Wisconsin. In 1870, Mrs. Totterdale, her son, Wm. H. and daughter Anna (now the wife of Ira Kellogg of Decatur county, Kansas), moved to this city. Her other daughter Jane (Mrs. Lukey) moved to this city subsequently.
Mrs. Totterdale left numerous relatives in England. Her sister Jane was a resident of London three years ago. She had a brother, Henry Hurford, who died in Oakland county, Michigan, two years ago.
When Fayette Smith was buried, February 5, she said, referring to Miriam cemetery: "I have never been to that cemetery yet, but I mean to go and see it some day." On the 12th day after this utterance her mortal remains were laid to rest in said cemetery.
Funeral services were conducted at the residence of Wm. H. Totterdale, with whom she resided, Wednesday, the 17th instant, by Rev. Gearhart, pastor of the Maryville Presbyterian church. Mrs. Totterdale was a member of the Episcopal church.
The deceased was highly esteemed by all who knew her and was a noble woman. Though her children were loving, as dutiful and affectionate children always are, and though there was everything in her surroundings to make this life a happy one—which it was to her—yet death had no terrors for her. She had many, many dear friends on the other side who would receive her with a joyful greeting. Who can tell what ecstasy, what joy, in that reunion of husband and wife in the beautiful home of the soul? Shall we say that death severs the cord of love and affection that the parents have for the children? Rather shall we not say that this affection is intensified in the brighter realms where they shall live forever more? "Death, where is thy Sting; grave, where thy Victory."
The bereaved children have the sympathy of the whole community in their hour of sorrow.

LAMAR STATION --Again our community has been shocked over the sudden death of Willie, son of James D. Tudder, who walked out of the car in his sleep and was crushed in a terrible manner. He was on his way to Chicago with two loads of cattle belonging to his father. it was his first trip. The accident took place near Galesburg, Illinois. Several men with cattle were on the same train, among them Mr. Staples, but all were asleep and Willie was not missed until they reached Chicago. Meanwhile a young gentleman and lady who had been to a party were walking up the track and found Willie badly hurt. The young lady sat down and took his head on her lap, while the young man went for help. Willie could talk and asked for Staples saying he has left me but was unconscious. He was taken to a house and a doctor sent for. Early the next morning he was taken to a hospital in Galesburg. Papers in his pocket told who he was, and his father was telegraphed for and went immediately. Mr. Staples hurried back from Chicago but the death angel came and as he loves a shining mark he wafted the spirit of Willie to that bright shore from which no traveler has ever returned. He had just passed his twentieth birthday and was still under his parents control and was a loving obedient son. He never gave his parents an unkind word, was an affectionate brother, a kind, good hearted boy in general; was loved by his school-mates and teachers. His remains arrived at home, west of Elmo, last Saturday. On Sunday they were laid to rest in the Severs cemetery, followed by one of the largest funeral processions ever seen in this part of the county. The parents were children living here when the writer came 33 years ago. The mother's maiden name was Sarah Ann Wade. They are identified with our oldest settlers. Willie was their oldest child. The heart rending grief of the family appeal to the hearts of all. The sad affair has cast a gloom over the neighborhood. But our loving Heavenly Father is Allwise and doeth all things well and when we are gathered around His great white throne in that better land, we will know all things we do not now understand.

[ULMAN, ALBERT]

Sudden Death. Albert Ulman Killed in a Railroad Wreck.
The remains of Albert Ulman, a prominent farmer who formerly resided near Barnard, passed through the city yesterday afternoon en route to Barnard for interment. The body was accompanied by an uncle of the deceased, Mr. R. C. Houston and Mr. Albert Carter, the latter having been with Mr. Ulman when he lost his life in a wreck at Big Creek, on the Lexington & Southern division of the Missouri Pacific, Wednesday last.
From Mr. Carter the Gazette learned that himself and Mr. Ulman had boarded a freight train at Paola, Kansas, intending to go to Kansas City and thence to Barnard. When the train was nearing the bridge which crosses Big Creek, nineteen miles from Harrisonville and two miles south of Pleasant Hill, the engineer, Tom Toohey, discovered the bridge to waver. He immediately reversed his engine but the velocity with which the train had been running was too great to permit a sudden or immediate halt. The engine rushed upon the bridge, which gave way near the center and together with seven car loads of stock went to the bed of the creek with a crash.
The seventh car contained horses, cattle and household furniture belonging to Mr. Ulman, who with his employe, Mr. Carter, were in the car looking after the property. When the car reached the point of danger the front of the car, in which Carter stood with the cattle, struck the water, while the other end, in which Ulman and the horses were standing struck the air. This caused the household furniture, which was loaded near the middle of the car, to fall against the door with such force as to break it. Carter knowing this to be the only means of escape from drowning made his way toward the door and swam to the shore in safety. Ulman, however, was penned in among the horses, with no possible means of escape. In some manner three of the horses were killed, one of which fell against Ulman, who was leaning against one side of the car, thus crushing the life from him. His body was afterwards taken from the car and conveyed to Harrisonville, where an inquest was held by Coroner M. Abraham of that place and verdict of "killed in the wreck at Big Creek," was rendered.
The deceased was forty-two years of age and leaves a wife and two children. He had resided in Nodaway county for years but a short time ago removed to Kansas, where he purchased a farm. Not liking that section of country, he determined to return to his old home near Barnard and thither he was en route when he met his death. – St. Joe Gazette April 5th.

Mr. Thomas J. VanBriggle, widely known in Nodaway county and northwest Missouri, departed this life at the residence of Capt. T. W. Gaunt, on Friday, May 29, 1885, at 5 o'clock p. m. He had been confined to his bed for about ten days. The fatal disease was paralysis. About a year ago, while visiting his daughter in Saline county, he was taken down with partial paralysis and his recovery was despaired of for a time; but he improved and returned to Nodaway county, but his health was rather poor ever afterwards. Mr. VanBriggle was nearly fifty-four years of age. He was born in Felicity, Clearmont county, Ohio. His wife died at Sedalia several years ago. He has a married son now living in Sedalia and a married daughter living in Saline county, both of whom were prevented from coming to see their father by sickness in their families. L. F. VanBriggle of this city is a brother of the deceased. Mr. VanBriggle came to Nodaway county about ten years ago and shortly afterwards went into the employ of Capt. Gaunt in his nurseries. Mr. Gaunt and his estimable family were always very kind to Mr. VanBriggle and during his last sickness did everything in their power to alleviate his sufferings.
The funeral services were held at Mr. Gaunt's last Saturday at eleven o'clock a. m., being conducted by Rev. T. A. Canady, pastor of the M. E. Church of this city, to which the deceased belonged.

In 1846, with her parents, she came to Buffalo Grove, and two years later she was united in marriage with W. J. Wamsley, who came here with parents, from the same county, in 1836. Mr. and Mrs. Wamsley resided here until the spring of 1881, when they removed to Iowa and a year later to Arkoe, Mo., where they both resided until their death, Mr. W. passing away June 29, 1886.
Their children, all born here, are Willis J., George Herbert, and Harry, all of Arkoe, Mo.; John W., of Iowa, and Mrs. Mary A. Dowie, of Stockton, Kansas.
Mr. and Mrs. Wamsley were both esteemed highly by all who knew them, and they were of the number of our sturdy early settlers who did so much for the upbuilding of all the best interests of this community.

[WAMSLEY, SARAH T. WILBER]
Maryville Tribune (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, February 4, 1897
Sarah J. Wamsley.
On the 23d day of January , 1897, on the beautiful Sabbath, the life of Mrs. Sarah J. Wamsley, which had been slowly ebbing away, ended, and the tired spirit winged its way to the great beyond, there to experience the realities of eternal rest which that day typifies.
For months dread disease had been sapping her strength and vitality; yet she was always gentle, always uncomplaining. Though, in her sufferings, she trod through the valley of the shadow of death, she maintained the same beautiful composure that endeared her to all who came in contact with her in health. All that loving hands and solicitous hearts could do, to minister tenderly to her wants and soothe the weary pain racked body during the last sad days, was done.
Almost three score years and ten, almost the Psalmists allotted span of life had she lived. Eventful years; years in which there was a mingling of joy and of sorrow; years of shifting scenes, but through and above, years well lived. Endowed by nature with a calm, gentle, peaceful disposition; possessed of an equipoise unruffled by cares and worriments; cultured and refined, having a mind of high order, combine with warm active sympathies; these were the elements which eminently lifted her to glean the very best there is in live and to shed an influence that was for the noblest and best.
Gone, but the gentle, kindly influence remains, hallowed and sanctified by the thought that up above, in realms of light, is the angel mother who taught of Heaven and led the way.  W. D.

Ogle County Press (Polo, Illinois), Saturday, July 3, 1886
Death of William Johnson Wamsley.
Wm. J. Wamsley died at his home near Arcoe [Arkoe], Missouri, Wednesday morning, June 30th.
Thus has another of the early settlers of Buffalo township been called home. For more than forty years Mr. Wamsley was closely identified with the growth and prosperity of this township and his removal to Missouri was regretted by a very large circle of friends and neighbors who appreciated his many excellent qualities of head and heart. But the hope of securing relief from the asthma and the desire to give his boys more land and keep them together led him to go west.
Mr. Wamsley was the second son of Deacon Wm. Wamsley and was born in Andes N. Y. on the 21 March, 1822, consequently at the time of his death was in his 65 year. In 1848 he was united in marriage with Miss Sarah T. Wilbur, who was also a native of Delaware county, New York, and who came here with her parents in 1846. Mr. Wamsley was one of the leading farmers of this section for many years. A man of intelligence, a firm friend of good morals and one of the elders of the Presbyterian church in this city. His wife and five children all survive him.
The remains were brought to Polo on Friday afternoon and after the funeral ceremonies at the Presbyterian church, conducted by Elder H. E. Healey, the remains were layed to rest in Polo cemetery.

Death of John H. Ware, Sen. At His Home in Burlington Junction, on the 10th Instant.
Just before going to press we learn of the death of John H. Ware, Sen., which occurred at his home in Burlington Junction Wednesday, August 10, 1887, at 10 P. M. Mr. Ware had been confined to his house about two weeks. He seemed to have something like congestion of the brain at first and also there seemed to be a giving away of the physical powers. Mr. Ware was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania in 1808. He moved to this county from Ross county, Ohio, in 1856, and ever since that time has been a prominent citizen of the county. In Ohio he had a very lucrative practice as a lawyer, but having a large family of children he concluded to come West with a view of getting land. He had also practiced law in this county. He was a successful business man and leaves an estate worth from $80,000 to $100,000.
His funeral services will be held tomorrow (Friday). He was a member of the Presbyterian church.
Though having attained an age when death was to be expected almost at any time, yet his demise has cast a pall of sorrow over the community in which he was so well known and in which he has been a useful and honorable citizen for more than thirty years.

[WARE, JOHN HANSON, SR.]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, August 18, 1887
At Rest. John H. Ware Sr. passes away to the Better Land.
Last week's Democrat contained a brief notice of the death of John H. Ware, Sr., at his home at Burlington Junction on Wednesday, August 10th at 10 P. M., aged 79 years and 3 months. Deceased was for many years a prominent member of the Maryville bar and was well known all over Northwest Missouri.
He was of Scotch decent. His father, Hugh Ware, was married to Miss Rebecca Hanson in the year 1799. He removed from Indiana county, Pennsylvania, between fifty and sixty years ago. During the same year that he went to Clinton county, Ohio, he again changed his abode and removed to Highland county, where he died. John H., then nine years old, was the oldest son of a family of nine children and he remained with his mother in Highland county, aiding in the support and education of the younger children until they were able to maintain themselves. In the year 1835 he married Miss Eliza J. [ane] Harper, who through all the vicissitudes of an eventful life has proved herself in every way a kind and faithful companion. She still survives him.
Their union was blessed with four children, Mrs. E. J. Fraser, who resides in San Francisco, California; Hanson H., who died at his home, near Quitman, Missouri, July 11, 1886; John H. Jr. and Samuel T. The latter and his father have been partners in conducting the Quitman flouring mills for the past fifteen years.
In the year 1844 he entered the law school in Cincinnati and there received the degree of Bachelor of Arts and was soon after admitted to the bar in the supreme court of the state of Ohio. In 1852 he was attracted to California during the gold excitement but returned to Chillicothe, Ross county, Ohio, in the fall of the same year. In 1853 the people of Ross county, recognizing his fine legal talent, elected him prosecuting attorney which office he filled with credit to himself and his constituents. At the expiration of his term he decided to come west and enter land.
The fertile valley of the Nodaway appeared so attractive that he decided to make it his future home. In 1856 he entered large tracts of lands and made his home and improvements on the same piece of land upon which he lived continuously for the last thirty years and which is now within the city limits of Burlington Junction.
On May 10, 1880, he organized the Commercial bank at Burlington Junction, Missouri, in company with his son, John H. Ware, Jr., and became its president. Its great success as a financial institution is mainly due to his executive ability, wonderful discernment and strict integrity.
He attributed his uniform good health and rugged constitution to his observance of strict temperance principles in all things. His career has certainly been a remarkable one.
His charitable disposition and hatred of wrong and of the abuse of power always made him the champion of the poor and oppressed, regardless of consequences to himself.
Mr. Ware was a man of much more than ordinary ability and was possessed of a vast fund of information which made him an entertaining conversationalist. For many years he had been a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. His funeral services were conducted on Friday at the family residence by Rev. J. A. Gerhard of this city, assisted by Elder Geo. Dew of Burlington Junction, after which his mortal remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives, John Edwards, S. R. Beech, John Houston, Alexander Gray, Henry Corken and J. W. Ragon acting as pall bearers.
His erect figure, kindly face and pleasant greeting will long be remembered and will be missed by his numerous friends who recognized his sterling worth and loved and respected him.

The Holy Scriptures represent life as a journey; so there comes an hour to each one of us when the journey through this world has an end. To the followers of God, the life to follow is the grander eternal life. On Aug. 4th, 1900, at eventide, our Brother Andrew Whiteford completed the journey of this earthly life. He was born in Dearborn Co., Ind., on July 3, 1848. He spent his younger days in that state and came to Missouri about the year 1871 and located in Nodaway Co. in this state. He afterward removed to Stanberry in 1895 and has continued his residence here since. He was married in Dec. 1875. Seven children blessed the home of Brother and sister Whiteford, of this number six have entered heaven, and one remains to mourn his loss. He has been a member of the church for a number of years. He felt his own weakness and insufficiency compared to the ideal life of Christ, and so expressed himself to his Pastor. His integrity was unquestioned. He was sincerely loved in his home: his loved ones and his kind neighbors did all that thoughtfulness could suggest to help him. He died peaceably on Saturday afternoon at his home. The funeral services were conducted at the M. E. church by the Rev. R. L. Thompson. The interment was at High Ridge cemetery.

MT. VERNON – On Wednesday, June 15, about 5 o'clock the neighborhood was startled by the news that Freddie Wible had drowned in L. Neigh's pond and upon investigation found it to be only too true. It seems that he (who was only in his 6th year) and the youngest son of Dr. Allen's, who is about the same age, had gone to the pond for the purpose of swimming. Freddie had got in the pond and instantly began struggling with the waves. He sank and arose again and the second time he arose and told the boy to "run and tell papa quick," which he immediately did, but before help could possibly get to him he had sank for the last time and although efforts were made to bring life to the lifeless form all were vain, for he never breathed after he was taken from the water. Freddie was next to the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Wible, of Gaynor City and had he have lived until September 23, 1892, he would have been 7 years old. His presence will be sadly missed in the home he has left and although it may seem to the loved ones—"It cannot be so," yet there is a Divine will whose depth and greatness we could not presume to fathom and while all seems dark there is the promise that "What I do thou knoweth not, but shalt know hereafter." His funeral was preached at the Christian church in Hopkins, June 16, by Rev. W. A. Chapman from II Samuel xii, 15, after which the remains were interred in the Hopkins cemetery.

A Bright Star Gone.
Written and dedicated to the sacred memory of Little Freddie Wible, aged six years, the beloved child of Mr. and Mrs. S. [loan] E. [dward] Wible of Gaynor City, Mo., and who came to his sad death so unexpectedly last Wednesday evening, June 15th, 1892.
Freddie had been at school that day as usual and on his return home went, without the consent of his parents, with a school-mate of the same age to a pond, as their innocent little minds had led them, to learn how to swim. Only a few minutes passed, and Little Freddie was fast sinking to rise no more. And Tom, who had not yet entered the water, returned to relate the sad news. A crowd soon gathered at the pond and after a short time the lifeless body was brought to shore. Experiments were tried to restore life, but all to no avail; he was past all human aid. He was laid to rest in the Hopkins cemetery and the grief-stricken family have the sympathy of all the surrounding country. May the God of Heaven bless them and help them to bear up under this sad affliction and may they take comfort in the words of our blessed Saviour when he said: "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is kingdom of heaven."

At 6 o'clock Wednesday morning Grandma Wible passed peacefully away at the home of her son, S. E. Wible, aged 97 years and some months. She had not been sick and had partaken of a light breakfast in her room a short time before her death. The funeral will be held at the Methodist church next Friday afternoon.

An Eventful Life Ended.
Mrs. Sarah N. Wible was born in Shelby Co., Ky., near Shelbyville, Nov. 27, 1812. Her maiden name was Tomeroy [Pomeroy]. She was married to Wm. Wible while in Kentucky and their first son, John Wible, was born to them. Some time afterward her husband went to Pittsburg in the interest of an estate of which he was an heir. Word came from him that he had received his part of the estate and had taken passage on a steamer for home. He was never heard of again. Under this anxiety, disappointment and grief another son was born, S. [loan] E. [dward] Wible, of Hopkins, Mo., in whose home she has spent the last part of her life.
From Kentucky she moved to Morgan Co., Ind., in 1854, then to Hopkins, Mo., in 1873. She moved from here to Gaynor then to Pickering and back to Hopkins where she resided until Feb. 17 at 6:00 o'clock a. m. when her life went out peacefully in the faith of a risen Lord, as a bright star fades away in the presence of the sun, aged 96 years, 2 months and 20 days.
Many years ago she gave her life to the Lord and lived in that faithful, trustful, obedient relationship to God which insures the reward, "well done." She leaves one son, S. [loan] E. [dward] Wible, and four grandchildren: George Wible, of Cushing, Neb., Miss Bertha Wible and Messrs. Frank and Earl Wible of Hopkins. The text selected for her funeral was a favorite with her. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble," Ps 46:1. No one could live a more innocent life than that of mother Wible and no one could have lived a life whose conduct would so completely put to shame any one who would dare criticize it. As one patient and trustful her life is certainly a valuable relic for us to hold in our memories.
The funeral was held at the Methodist church Friday afternoon conducted by Rev. Wood, pastor of the Christian church, and burial took place in the Hopkins cemetery.

[WING, MAY D.]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, June 24, 1886

Miss May D. Wing was born October 10, 1867, in the town of Esperance, Schoharie county, New York. She was the first born of Erasmus D. and Amelia (Donaldson) Wing. In the spring of 1871 she moved to Missouri with her parents and grandfather, William R. Wing, who died in Maryville in February 1879. They settled in Nodaway county on the Rogers farm, northwest of Maryville, and afterwards moved to the farm now occupied by Mr. Manley. In 1882 the family moved to Stewartsville, De Kalb county, this state, where they have since resided.
Miss May graduated, M. L. A., from the Stewartsville college in 1884. She was a young lady of fine talents, the pride of her parents and the joy of her associates. On a trip to St. Joseph, in February of this year, she caught a severe cold which settled on her lungs in spite of all the most tender care could do and it was soon evident that that terrible scourge—quick consumption—had seized upon her mortal frame. After intense suffering and almost untold agony, she fell asleep at half-past two o'clock Saturday morning, June 19, 1886. Saturday afternoon her funeral sermon was preached at the home of her parents, in Stewartsville, by Rev. Ismond, of the Methodist Episcopal church, to a vast concourse of sympathizing friends and sorrowing mates. The same evening her remains were taken to the cars by her father, uncle and sister and brought to Maryville. On Sunday afternoon, June 20, at 2 o'clock, religious services were held by Rev. J. H. Cox of the M. E. church at the residence of Dr. H. E. Robinson, whence all that was mortal of poor May was borne to Oak Hill cemetery and laid to rest by the side of her grandfather.
Her relatives in this county are Chas. Wing, Mrs. Lovett and family, Hattie Wing, Mrs. Barber, Mrs. Henry Graves and Mrs. H. E. Robinson. To the sorrowing family we extend our sympathy but may they not sorrow as those without hope.

Obituary of J. P. Winslow.
The subject of this notice died very suddenly on Sunday, April 18th, 1886, at 3 o'clock p. m. at his residence near Sweet Home, Mo. He was at work all day the Friday previous, complaining of feeling sick soon after supper, became rapidly worse, baffling all medical skill and faithful nursing. The cause of his death was the breaking of an inward ulcer. He was born Sept. 28th, 1819, at Brunswick, Maine, and was reared by devout Christian parents, of the religious Order denominated as "Friends." He served one year on board ship, as Sailor, after which he learned the Carpenter's trade, which he followed chiefly the latter years of his life. He came to Springfield, Ills., in 1842, where he was married to Leaner [Leanna] A. [nn], fourth child of Rev. Richard P. [eyton] and Elizabeth Smith, moved to Clinton, Ills. in 1852, where they resided 14 years, emigrated in wagon from latter place to Nodaway county Mo. in the spring of 1866, where he lived to the end of his life, with the surviving faithful wife and companion of his youth. They were blest with ten children, three of which died in infancy, four sons and three daughters now living. He joined the M. E. church in 1844, was Steward, and at the time of his death a class leader. He was of a generous, sociable disposition, a great lover of children, a faithful friend, a kind husband and indulgent father. Strictly honest and upright in his dealings, he had a host of friends by whom he will be sadly missed and held in pleasant remembrance. Nearly his last words were, "all is well, am ready to go." The last sad obsequies were held at Salem chapel on Tuesday, April 20th, 1886, Rev. Lewis officiating. A large number of sympathizing friends followed the remains to the Granthan [Grantham] cemetery where he was laid to rest in hope of a glorious resurrection to the life beyond, where free from care and pain, the loved on earth shall meet and love again.

Mrs. Winslow was born, reared and married in Sangamon county, Illinois. She was the mother of ten children, four of whom, with the father, have preceded her to the spirit world. She was the daughter of Rev. Richard P. and Elizabeth Smith.
Mother was converted when 12 years of age under the teachings of Rev. Peter Cartwright, joined the Methodist church and was a faithful and consistent member to the end. Her sufferings were great in her last sickness but were borne with patience and resignation.
In her last hours she spoke to those around her of her Heavenly home and the bright prospects of future happiness, indeed she was anxious to go home to eternal rest. Her home for the past ten years was in Oakley, Kansas, where she buried her daughter, Ruth, in April 1895. Mother died in Seattle while visiting her daughter, Mary Grantham, who accompanied the remains back to the old home where she was laid away by the side of our father.

Since that time she has been gradually growing weaker. All through her illness she has been uncomplaining, resigned to her fate and showing her true Christian spirit by trusting in Him who rules all things. She has often expressed her willingness to die as she was prepared to go without a moment's warning. Death relieved her of her suffering Thursday evening at eight o'clock.

Jessie Ann Wood, daughter of Chas. B. and Minnie Wood, was born in Hopkins, Mo., Jan. 16, 1898, and died June 10, 1903. Little Jessie was a lovely child and from her earliest infancy had been loved and admired by her many friends and relatives. She had a loving little heart and gave large love in return to those in whose esteem she found so much favor.
She was mother's pet and papa's darling, the joy of the home, and like a ray of sunshine she filled the home with light and gladness.
Her illness was of short duration, lasting scarcely one week, but in spite of all that love and care could do, her pure spirit slipped away to that "happy land far, far away."
The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon from the family residence, conducted by Rev. J. K. Kicks, after which her little body was laid to rest midst June roses in the beautiful Hopkins cemetery.
Bro. and sister Wood have the sympathy and prayers of their many friends in their bereavement and may the ever blessed savior minister to them the consolation and comfort that he alone can give. --

--Elder Wood, father of J. S. Wood, died at his home in Dawson on Wednesday morning of last week. He had been a minister in the Christian church for forty-five years. he lived a long and useful life and has now passed to his reward in the fullness of years.

[WOOD, JOEL M.]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 29, 1886
Died, at his residence near Dawson, Mo., July 21st, Joel M. Wood, aged 65 years 3 months and 16 days.
Just as the sun was rising and sending his shining rays around to pierce the gloom of night, his spirit took its flight. He had been feeling unwell for four or five months but was confined to his bed a little over four weeks. His death was caused by heart disease, complicated with organic disease of the liver. He was buried at the Dawson cemetery the next day attended by a large concourse of mourning friends.
He was born April 5, 1821, in Pulaski county, Kentucky and grew to manhood in that state. In 1844 he was united in marriage to Miss Amelia A. Sloan, who, together with six children, survive to mourn his loss. At an early age he became convinced of the importance of trying to live and do right and joined the church, embracing the views as taught by Alexander Campbell and others. Soon after becoming a member of the church, he began trying to persuade others to do likewise and for more than forty years he was an earnest, constant advocate of "the truth as it is in Jesus." Over the prairies of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Dakota, Texas and elsewhere, he traveled, toiling long and earnestly trying to persuade men and women to do better. No summer's sun was too hot or winter snow too cold to prevent his meeting with his brethren and trying to proclaim the "unsearchable riches of Christ.
During the early spring he took a trip into the southern part of this state hoping to be benefitted and seeking a further opportunity to do good. The trip apparently helped him, but he soon began to fail and finally became unable to do anything more.
Like most preachers he died poor. He gave the strength of young manhood and the energy of his life to proclaiming the Gospel that men and women might be benefitted. In his mature manhood he was, for a while, a successful practicing physician, but finding it interfered with his preaching he abandoned it. From that time forward he did little but preach the gospel. For many years he was a sufferer but did not complain and when the final summons came, it found him ready. Such is a brief epitome of the life and labors of Father Wood. Let us imitate his example that like him we may be also ready. We sorrow not as those who have no hope but believe that when the Lord comes to reward his servants that we shall see him again on the "Evergreen Shore," and striking hands, be separated no more forever.

Rev. J. M. Woods [Wood], father of John S., died Wednesday morning at five o'clock after an illness of about five weeks. Was not considered dangerous until the Saturday previous to his death. He was an old resident of the county but has resided in Nodaway off and on some 30 years. He resided in Dakota several years, where he has one son and a daughter living. He returned to Nodaway some two years ago and has since that time resided at Dawsonville. He died in his 65th year and has been active in the ministry for about 40 years. His funeral took place at Dawsonville on Thursday at 10 o'clock at the Christian church, Rev. Dew officiating. Although not buried by the Masonic lodge, a large number of the fraternity attended the funeral from the different lodges in the vicinity. One daughter, Mrs. Collings, who resides in Dakota, arrived on the evening train after the funeral. John S. and two other sons live at or near Dawsonville. His wife survives him.

Joel M. Wood was born April 5th, 1821, in Pulaski county, Kentucky, died at his home in Dawson, Nodaway county, Missouri, July 21, 1886.
In his early manhood he labored on the farm, boating, anything to earn a livelihood. He was married in 1844 to Miss Amelia A. Sloan. About the same time or a little earlier having become a member of the Christian church, he commenced trying to preach. By overwork in daily labor and excessive study at night to better fit himself for preaching the Gospel his health was greatly impaired. He has thus been a preacher for more than forty years. His ministry has been distributed over Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Texas, Dakota Territory and possibly some other states. The larger part of the time, however, confined to Missouri. As a result of his labors some thousands have been received into the church and quite a number of churches organized. In 1868 while living at or near Maryville, he re-organized the Christian church that place and preached there quite frequently. Some years ago he removed from Missouri to Dakota Territory, taking a homestead there. In April 1884 he again removed to Nodaway county, settling at Dawson. Here he again engaged in his chosen work of preaching the Gospel and as a result of his labors there is now a small church there, having recently erected a house for worship, which he was not permitted to see completed. Like most preachers, after a long and laborious life, he died poor in the goods of this world but rich in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
He leaves a wife and several sons and daughters grown to man and womanhood to mourn his loss. – B. J. Post.

The accident happened in this wise: Mr. Woods and Oscar Summers were at Stanberry for a load of lumber; on their return home at a point near Allie Stockton's, about three miles west of Stanberry, in going down hill, the horses became unmanageable by the wagon running on them; they attempted to put the brake on to check the wagon, but couldn't reach it and at a culvert at the foot of the hill one of the fore wheels dropped off at the culvert, pitching them both off, Sim falling first, lighting on a stake and Oscar falling on him. The fall crushed his breast and ribs in such a manner that he died the next day from the effect. He was buried Thursday near the Baptist church, this township.
