ON THE DIVIDE – Oliver Penny, aged 16 years and step son of J.[ohn] J. Wells, while skating and playing last Saturday fell and caused by turning or falling, the rupture of the stomach by the bursting of a blood vessel. His parents asked him what was the cause of his sickness and was informed by the boy that the sickness he had was caused by eating one or two frozen apples that were hanging on a tree. They at once gave him medicine for the same and applied poultices to relieve the pain, expecting him soon to be well, but Monday night he commenced vomiting blood. They immediately sent for Dr. Goodson, he appearing about 9 o'clock Tuesday morning; but to no effect, only to relieve him of the agony and pain by an injection of morphine. At a little before 11 o'clock a. m., Jan. 8, 1889, he peacefully and quietly passed away. Oliver was an average scholar for his age and with his kind heart and quiet ways was held in high esteem by his schoolmates and teacher. He leaves a mother, sister, and relatives to mourn his loss, but their loss is his eternal gain. [Poem not transcribed.]

--A very unfortunate accident occurred in the family of W. [illiam] H. [enry] Piveral last Sunday morning, resulting in the death of an infant child. Some time ago Mr. Piveral secured some morphine powders for his wife and on Saturday night he took home some harmless powders for the babe. They were put away in the same place and in giving the medicine to the little one the wrong powder was given. The physicians were called but were powerless and the child soon died from the effects of the deadly drug. The family deeply regret the sad affair. – B. J. Post.

A Good Woman Gone Home.
Died, near Graham, Mo., July 14, 1890, Mrs. Mary M. Pixler, wife of B. F. Pixler, aged 44 years.
Mrs. Pixler was born in West Virginia and came to Missouri in 1870 and was married to B.[enjamin] F. [ranklin] Pixler in 1872. Joined the United Brethren church when 14 years old. When she came to Missouri she joined the M. E. church. Mrs. Pixler was truly a noble Christian woman. One that lived Christianity. All who were associated with her felt the influence of her daily walk.
A more happy home than she made for her family can hardly be conceived. Husband, wife and son were as one in the household. No cross purposes, but a united, blessed, cheerful family.
The husband ever has told of home happiness, given her the credit of all the home blessings, through that sweet, patient and ever cheerful disposition, which unites and holds in the bond of love. May the blessings of the past be ever in the thoughts of those left so lonely, rather than thoughts of present sorrow. Memories like theirs bless and keep in love and goodness all who cherish them. It is rare that a whole community sorrow with the bereaved as it has sorrowed with him, the best of husbands.
She left a son about 14 years old and a sweet babe of a few days.
So must we part with those who are great in goodness, having but their memory left to guide and keep us cheerful, knowing that soon the good Father will make the dark ways plain and unite us in the blessed hereafter.

Well Known Resident Dies
Eugene Powell, Stockman, Succumbs After Stroke
In County Since 1868. Owner of Hazelwood Stock Farm
Moved Into Maryville Five Years ago; Funeral Wednesday.
Eugene Porter Powell one of the best known stockmen in northwestern Missouri, died at 10 o'clock last night at his home, 1024 North Mulberry street, as the result of a stroke of paralysis suffered yesterday morning. Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at Price Funeral Home. The funeral will be conducted by the Rev. T. J. Puckett. Burial will be in Miriam cemetery.
Mr. Powell was born in Antwerp, Jefferson county, New York, Dec. 3d, 1844, and was the son of John and Eveline (Brainard) Powell, both natives of the state of New York. Mr. Powell is the last of a family of eight children. He went with his parents to Illinois in 1851 and was reared to manhood in Knox county and was educated there.
In 1868 Mr. Powell came to Nodaway county, Missouri, and opened up section 6, range 36, township 63, Polk township, where he remained for two years. He then sold out and opened a tract of land which was known as the "Hazelwood Stock Farm," and which was his place of residence until five years ago when he moved to Maryville.
Mr. Powell was married, first, in Aurora, Ill, in the summer of 1867 to Scylla Courtright. One son by this marriage survives, Clyde Powell of Galena, Kan. Mr. Powell's second marriage was in Maryville in August 1890, to Mattie Phillips, a native of Nodaway county. Mrs. Powell survives with three children, Robert C., Mrs. Ivan Espey and Jean L. Powell, all of Maryville. Mrs. Powell is now seriously ill.
Until his removal to Maryville, Mr. Powell was actively engaged in shipping livestock and for many years he and his brother, the late Lucian Powell, were probably the largest stock shippers in this section of the state.
Mr. Powell took a great deal of interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of Nodaway county and for some time was more or less active in the affairs of the Republican party.

The rest of the family escaped with their lived but some of them are badly burned. The charred remains of the boy were taken out of the cellar with both arms and both legs completely burned. A heavy wind and thunder storm was raging at the time and it is questionable whether the house was struck by lightning or caught from a spark from the flue. Nothing of value was saved.

Our Darling Eddie.
DIED – July 5th, 1889, Little Eddie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Proctor, after an illness of five days of cholera infantum. Eddie was born April 29, 1887, and was therefore two years two months and six days old.
The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Jackson of Harmony at the Ravenwood M. E. church, assisted by the Rev. J. H. French, after which the remains were interred in the Sweet Home cemetery in a beautiful location there to await the sound of the trump that shall wake it to eternal life.
I came to the spot where the little darling lay
And pensively stood by the tomb,
When in a low whisper a voice seemed to say
How sweetly I sleep here alone.
Little Eddie was taken very severely and from the start the friends feared that the termination would be as above stated, however, everything that loving friends and kind neighbors, with the aid of physician, could do was done for the little one in the hope that he might be restored to health, the physician never leaving the place for the last twenty four hours. But it pleased Him who has the issues of life and death to take the little darling and we can only bow in humble submission to His holy will and while it is hard, oh, so hard, to part with the little darling, we have the blessed assurance that he is asleep in Jesus and that he will never know the sorrows and vexations and trials and temptations incident to a life in this sinful world.

[PROTZMAN, ANDREW J.]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, January 2, 1890
Died, on the 30th of Dec. 1889, at his residence in this city, Andrew Protzman. Mr. Protzman was born in Saxony, 78 years ago. In his early manhood he immigrated to America to win a fortune which he accumulated to considerable extent in ensuing years. In the later 30s he won and wed the wife whom he loved and by whom he has been loved for nearly half a century with an affection which, if possible, each day grew more sacred fond. Their early wedded life was spent in Indiana, whence they moved to Iowa in 1860. In 1861, when his adopted land was convulsed and its dissolution was menaced, the same love of liberty that induced the young German to emigrate, again inspired him to say good bye to his wife and little ones. He shouldered his bugle, joined the sixth Iowa regiment, whom he cheered and summoned on a many a reddened field. After about a year's service he was disabled, came home, recuperated, returned to his command, and once more patriot notes were heard on Dixie's tented fields. I will here insert that deceased was a musician of preeminent ability. In 1865 he moved to Sweet Home, this county, and three years later he purchased and for a long time operated a farm southeast of old Conception. During the past ten years the old gentleman and his worthy wife, the partner of his joys, they had no sorrows, have lived in Maryville.
His death was caused by a Licoma on his shoulder. He leaves a wife and 12 children, all of whom have attained maturity and are all well to do in life and one of whom, Josephine, is the wife of your esteemed recorder, L. J. Growney. There are few men like Andrew Protzman. His fidelity was as steadfast as the sun, and his heart as pure as the light as heaven. He was a social and interesting companion, a genial gentleman, a faithful friend, a good honest man.
Good-bye, old friend, accept my feeble tribute. I loved you well and you reciprocated my affection. P. J.
