Death of George Dearing.
The following account of the death of a well-known citizen of Maryville, and member of Sedgwick Post, G. A. R., is from the Graham Post:
George H. Dearing was born in McConnelsville, Ohio, September 10, 1837. Died at the home of Frank Hamm, in Graham, November 13, 1902, aged 65 years, 2 months and 3 days.
His health, like that of nearly all of the men who went through the service in our late civil war, had not been the best for a number of years, although he was always bright and cheerful and was only confined to the house about three days in his illness. He had been having slight hemorrhages from his head and throat and on the evening of November 13th a larger blood vessel was ruptured and caused total paralysis, death occurring instantly.
In 1867 he was united in marriage with Miss Cela Cameron. To this union four children were born, one son and three daughters. His wife died in Maryville on the 9th day of August 1881.
Mr. Dearing enlisted in Co. H, 17th Ohio Vol. Inf., on the 27th day of April 1861, at McConnelsville, Ohio, for a term of three months. At the end of that time he re-enlisted and remained in the service until the close of the war. He was promoted to a second lieutenancy.
He was a deputy sheriff in Nodaway county at the time of the trial of the Talbott boys for the murder of their father. He was a policeman in Maryville for a number of years and was a United States marshal at one time. In all these offices he did his duty honestly and well and won many friends.
His funeral was conducted by Rev. W.E. Caldwell, after which all that was mortal of George H. Dearing was tenderly carried to the Prairie Home cemetery and laid to rest.

--Mrs. A. Davis, who went to Kent, Iowa, on Tuesday morning, has written to Mr. Dave Derrickson to the effect that Mrs. Cary Derrickson died on Friday last, of smallpox, at Creston and Cary is now in the pest house in that city, ill with the same disease. If this be so, and we see no reason at present to doubt it, we greatly fear that Cary's chances for life are small, inasmuch as no patient has ever yet left the Creston pest house alive, so far as we have heard. For some reason the experience at Creston has been that to go to the hospital means to die. Mr. Derrickson and his family removed from this city about two months ago and he has been employed, we believe, at the round house in that city. – Hopkins Journal.

A Good Man Gone. Death of J. J. Daniel.
Elder James J. [[ackson] Daniel, a minister of the Baptist Church, died in Maryville, June 27, at 3 o'clock A. M. Eld. Daniel was born in Clark county, Kentucky, on the third day of December 1818 and was aged sixty years, six months and 24 days. He came to the State of Missouri in 1845 and settled in Platte county. It was while there that he felt called to the work of the ministry. He was ordained by a council which met at Pleasant Grove Church, in Platte county, of which Eld. A. P. William was moderator and Eld. E. S. Dulin, now of St. Joseph, clerk. The date of his ordination we have been unable to learn. His first candidate for baptism, Eld. Clay, is now an earnest, faithful minister of the Gospel. In the year 1866, Eld. Daniel moved to Gentry county. Here he engaged actively in the work of preaching and there are hundreds who were led to Christ by his instrumentality. When the Gentry Association was formed, Eld. Daniel was chosen Moderator, a post he has been called to fill each succeeding year. The exposure to which pioneers of Gospel labor were liable, soon showed its effect upon Eld. Daniel and for several years he has been compelled to withdraw from the active work of the ministry, his lungs being badly affected. He was the senior partner of the firm of J. J. Daniel & Co., having gone into business when prevented by failing health from doing the work he loved. He moved to Maryville on November 6, 1876 and nearly ever since has been confined to his house and for the last ten weeks has rarely left his bed. He bore his suffering with Christian resignation and never complained or murmured though suffering at times intense pains. He took great pleasure in hearing Christian songs and often himself joined in the familiar strains. He loved the word of God and desired it often read to him; prayer was a comfort to his soul and he never tired of speaking of "Jesus and his love." Peacefully, quietly, with all his children and grandchildren about him he sank to rest, even with his last breath testifying to the truth of God's word. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss, John T. and Andrew Daniel, Mrs. N. J. Norman and Mrs. Laura Chilton, are the surviving children. Friday evening the friends of the family residing in Maryville gathered at his late residence to pay the last tribute of respect. Elder Smith of Maryville made a short address from Revelations xiv, -13. After prayer by Elder Latour, the friends took a last look at the familiar face, then went to their homes. Saturday morning the remains were taken to Mt. Pleasant where the funeral services were conducted by Elder Israel Christie, of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. The church was filled with sorrowing friends. The body was laid to rest in the family lot in Cooper Cemetery in Gentry County.

DORAN – Died, at his residence in Maryville on Monday morning, July 28, 1879, of cancer in the face, Lawrence Doran, aged seventy years.
Mr. Doran came here from Canada two years ago last spring. He had been troubled with a cancer on the side of his face for eleven years and for the past two years had suffered quite intensely with it. Though he had tried doctoring much, yet he was never fortunate enough to obtain any permanent relief. When his hour of dissolution came, he died calmly. Rev. Father Adelhelm attended him closely during his last sickness and his spiritual ministrations afforded the dying man much comfort. For two months before his death he was confined to his bed. His wife survives him and also eight children—four in this county; one in St. Joseph, Missouri; one in Nebraska; one in Kansas, and one in Canada. His remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery at this place on the Wednesday subsequent to his decease, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. Father Adelhelm.

On Thursday afternoon the summons came to Jesse Davis, proprietor of the Wills House and now the places that once knew him, know him no more. Mr. Davis had been troubled ever since he was a child with gatherings in his ear. Eleven years ago he came near dying. About a week before his death he was taken with another severe attack. He was not thought dangerous until three days before his death when the inflammation extended to his brain and for three days he lay unconscious and death came to his relief. All that love and medical skill could do was done but all in vain. His funeral services took place at the Christian church Saturday at two o'clock P. M. and was largely attended. Rev. Proctor preached the funeral discourse. Mr. Davis was born in 1840 in Davis [Daviess] county, Mo. If he had lived until the new year he would have been married sixteen years. He came here two years ago last May and for some time past had been the proprietor of the Wills House, also dealing in real estate. He leaves his devoted wife and three children to mourn over one of the best of husbands and loving of fathers. The children are Laura A., aged fifteen, Virgil E., aged eleven, and Joseph F., aged seven. He was a brother of the Rev. R. N. Davis, for three years pastor of the Christian church in this city. Rev. Rolla Davis, of Burlington Junction, this county, also another brother and two sisters. Mr. Davis was a sincere Christian and those who weep for him mourn not without hope.

Faulty Coupler Caused the Death of Virgil Davis
Cars Came Together and Struck His Head Such a Blow That He Was Instantly Killed—Body Here.
The remains of Virgil E. Davis, who was killed at Wirth, I. T., Wednesday, arrived in Chillicothe over the Burlington at 12:03 Thursday afternoon. They were in charge of P. E. Lamb, a fellow trainman, who was with Davis when his death occurred. As has already been stated, the killing occurred at 12:10 Wednesday afternoon. Davis was on the M.

At Rest. Death of Thomas J. Dodge.
The subject of this sketch was born in Monroe county, Illinois, February 18, 1852, and remained with his parents until he arrived at his majority, receiving a good common school education. In the fall of 1880 he bade adieu to friends and early associations and wended his way west and found a home and employment at Henry Forcades' near Graham, where his earthly pilgrimage ended on the morning of September 9th, 1882. He was of a quiet and unobtrusive disposition, eminently social and a true friend under all circumstances and conditions to those he had chosen as his associates and was by them highly esteemed. In the month of February last he was converted and united with the Missionary Baptist church at Graham and continued in the faith until he was called from his earthly labors, when he was summoned to come up higher to join the loved and lost who had gone before. One week before his death he had the misfortune to run a nail in the side of his foot, although the wound was painful, nothing serious was anticipated until two days previous to his death that dreadful disease, tetanus ensued, one of the most painful afflictions that human flesh is heir to. Medical aid was summoned, friends gathered around, loving hands done all that could be done to stay the spirit of the homeless boy; but prayers and tears were of no avail, the edict had gone forth, the Master had called; encouraged by the hope within he descended into the dark valley, crossed the cold stream and joined the triumphant hosts on the other shore. Thomas was dead to this world, but his memory will ever be cherished in the hearts of them who knew them here. Peace to his ashes.

Isaac Durling. Death of a Generous Hearted Man.
On Saturday morning last our citizens were surprised and grieved to learn the sad intelligence that all that was mortal of Isaac Durling had passed away. About four months since he complained of not feeling well but thought nothing serious of the matter until three weeks prior to his death, when he was taken suddenly worse with congestion of the heart and confined to his bed, from which he never arose. All that medical skill and kind attention from sympathizing friends could do was of no avail and he peacefully passed away at 2 o'clock Saturday morning, November 29, and by his special request the funeral sermon was preached by Rev. A. D. Workman at the Presbyterian church on Sunday, from whence his remains were followed by a large concourse of friends to their final resting place in Oak Hill cemetery.
Mr. Durling was born in the State of New Jersey, fifty-four years ago, and lived there until he arrived at man's estate, when he was married and migrated west, settling in Illinois. His wife has long preceded him to the spirit world. He has one son living, who resides in New Jersey and is a prosperous farmer. During the last few days of his sickness, he was attended by a brother from Illinois who desires to return his sincere thanks to the good people of Maryville for the kind care taken of Isaac and for the many courtesies extended him.
Whatever may be said of Isaac Durling, he was a man of noble impulses and generous to a fault. He had faults and who has not? But his faults, whatever they were, will be overbalanced by his many charitable deeds which will remain fresh and foremost with his many friends both in Maryville and wherever he was known. Thus do we pass away.
