ELKHORN VALLEY - In Union Valley, January 8, 1878, Mrs. Noffsinger, in the 87th year. Mother N. has lived in the county several years—knew how frontier life was enjoyed. She raised a large family, lived to see the third generation of her descendent, but her last years of life were frail and feeble, as the sands of life grew fewer, till finally she passed from earth to the realities of the future beyond the cares of time, to that heavenly land where the weary are at rest. The deceased leaves a large circle of friends to mourn the loss, a kind mother and friend.

UNION VALLEY – On the 13th of Oct. the funeral services of Mrs. Noffsinger was preached by the Rev. Sunderland. We gave notice of it at the time, but as the notice failed to appear, we suppose it has never reached the sanctum. Thinking it may be of interest to Mother Noffsinger's many friends and relatives we have endeavored to re-write it. Mrs. Noffsinger was an old resident of the valley and was known and loved by all. She was born in Fredericktown, Maryland in 1791. Moved to Belmont county, Ohio in 1809. Died Jan. 7th, 1868 [1878], aged 87 years. it will be seen that nearly all of her life was spent in a frontier country, as in 1809-10, Ohio was comparatively a new country and as she moved to this county in 1832, she knew from personal experience all about the trials and difficulties incident to the settling up of a new country. Though so far advanced in years her memory remained remarkably good even to her death, as numbers can testify who have sat and listened for hours to her thrilling stories of frontier life and adventures. She was buried in the graveyard on Mr. Thomas Clark's place and leaves behind her two daughters in the neighborhood to mourn the loss of a wise and loving mother.

The End of Earth. Mrs. Jane M. Newlon Gone to the Better Land.
On last Friday evening, Mrs. Jane M. Newlon breathed her last. She had been ailing for some time and at last was attacked with apoplexy, which proved fatal. She fell asleep as gently as a child. Mrs. Newlon was the wife of B. [rintnel] F. Newlon, one of our most honored citizens. Mrs. Newlon was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., in 1811. The family came to Missouri in 1872 and moved on the farm where they have since resided.
She was the mother of William and Ira Newlon and Mrs. J. V. Embree.
Throughout her long life she proved a noble wife and mother, and her death falls heavily on the heart of her aged companion and her children.
The funeral services took place on Sunday at 11 A. M., the Rev. Parker preached an eloquent discourse from Rev. 14, 30. Rev. Workman assisted in the services. Mrs. Newlon was a consistent and faithful Christian. To the afflicted ones we extend our heartfelt sympathy. But they mourn not as those who have no hope.

Passed to the Spirit Life.
John Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Noble, aged 1 year and 28 days, at 2:30 a. m. of August 27, 1882, laid aside the earthly instrument of the soul, passed into the boundless reals of the spirit life, to join the seraph band, who were whispering:
"Come in, come in,
Eternal glory thou shalt win."
To see the youth and pure taken away so soon, recalls the thought,
"There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end."

[NASH, PARYZETTA PISTOLE]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 9, 1891
Died, at her earthly home, near Pickering, Nodaway county, Mo., March 29, 1891, Paryzetta, wife of Geo. W. Nash, after several months of suffering with that dread disease, consumption.
Mother Nash was born in Kentucky July 17, 1831. Her maiden name was Pistole. She came with her parents to Missouri some fifty years ago. Was married to Geo. W. Nash March 26, 1846. She was the mother of ten children, three of whom had preceded her to the "Land Beyond," the remaining four sons and three daughters were all in attendance at the funeral.
She became a Christian in her youth and has ever since lived an earnest, devoted follower of the Master. She lived to see all her children Christians, induced to become such, doubtless, largely through the influence of "Mother." Thus was the scripture from which the writer preached the funeral especially appropriate, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord form henceforth; yea saith the Spirit, for they do rest from their labors and their works do follow them." Her bereaved husband is also a Christian and therefore he "sorrows not as those who have no hope." The family have the sympathy of their many friends.  W. A. Chapman.

Terrible Accident. Clara Owens Burned to Death.
A terrible misfortune has befallen the family of John Owens of Green township.
Clara Owens, a bright girl of nine summers, the idol of the household, was suddenly snatched away in the most terrible manner. A happy household is grief stricken and gloom sits enthroned where happiness reigned.
Last Sunday evening Clara and her sister retired upstairs to bed, Mr. Owens sleeping downstairs. About 11 o'clock he was awakened by screams. He thought someone was screaming that the barn was on fire. He ran to the door but saw nothing then he knew that something was wrong upstairs, where his little daughters were. Franticly he rushed to their room, where a most horrible sight met his eyes. Clara was enveloped in flames and screaming in agony on the floor. Snatching a blanket from the burning bed, Mr. Owens smothered the flames, and the little suffering child was carried down stairs. She lingered in terrible agony until 8 o'clock Monday morning when death ended her sufferings.
The inmates of the house were so distracted by the accident that they let the house come near burning. The bed was entirely consumed and the room badly scorched.
It seems that the little girls on going up stairs had not gone to bed but had amused themselves by playing in the room. At the time the accident occurred, Clara was sitting on the bed with her feet in a chair, on which a candle was placed. In some way her dress ignited.
Mr. Owens has the heartfelt sympathy of all in his great misfortune.

"Where the Roses Never Wither." Death of Mrs. Harriet Pavy.
Rachel Harriet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Anders, was born in Fayette county, Ohio, in 1858, where her childhood hours were passed under the guidance of a kind father and mother. Several years since the family moved to Nodaway county and established a homestead near Graham, where "Hattie" was married to Simon Pavy in 1870, he having accompanied her father on their journey from Ohio. With him she lived happily until the 12th of July, when the silver cord was loosed and her freed spirit wended its way to the land of eternal sunshine. She was the mother of three children, one of whom preceded her to the spirit world one year ago, the remainder a lad some five years old and a tender babe born the day preceding the day before her death, are left as relics of her being.
She joined the M. E. church about four years since and continued steadfast in faith until she was called up higher. She was kind in disposition, a "sweet singer," and her voice was ever heard in revival meetings. But she has passed from earth, leaving a stricken husband, two motherless children, father, mother, sisters and brothers, who deeply feel and mourn her loss. Yo the bereft ones we extend our sympathy. We can never forget this quiet, faithful woman. Sacred be the dust that covers her. A stranger should tread lightly over the sod that covers her sleeping ashes. There ambition and dreams of fame should be forgotten. There let the turf be greenest and the sunshine brightest. Affection will prompt and the rose will be planted, bloom, fade and wither on her grave, typical of our earthly existence, teaching us that we, too, must pass away. Although she is separated from her friends, her voice of love and kindness hushed forever, yet in the blaze of noonday and in the solemn silence of night, memories of her will steal over them like the minstrel's harp, "sad, but pleasant to the soul."

Elisha Poley. Death [of] our Esteemed Fellow Citizen.
We are sorry to have to record the death of our esteemed citizen, Elisha Poley, senior of the firm of Poley, Welch & Co., dealers in grain and proprietors of the Maryville Elevator, who was taken from us by the rude hand of death on last Thursday morning. He had not been enjoying good health for the year past but was able to attend to business most of the time. Last Monday night he had a slight attack of hemorrhage of the lungs, but on Tuesday felt as well as usual and went to Hopkins on business for the firm. On Tuesday night he suffered two severe hemorrhages and was then considered better until Thursday morning about two o'clock, when he roused up and called for a drink of water. While this was being handed to him, he gave a low cough, pronounced the word "Hemorrhage" and sank back upon his pillow and expired.
Mr. Poley was born in Kentucky but moved to Sangamon county, Illinois, with his father, at an early day, where he resided with short exceptions until he came to Maryville three years ago.  He was a schoolteacher by profession in the early part of his manhood but has been in the grain business for a number of years. He was much attached to Maryville and had won a host of friends by his quiet, unassuming businesslike way, who will long reverence his memory. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss and to them we extend our warmest sympathies.
We are requested to return the thanks of the family to the many friends and the Masonic fraternity for the kindness shown them in their affliction.

Death of Newton N. Perdew.
It is with sorrowful heart that we pen the lines announcing the death of Mr. Newton N. Perdew, youngest son of William Perdew of White Cloud township and brother of Mr. Jesse Perdew of this city, who departed this life at his father's residence on Thursday evening, June 24, 1880. Newton from infancy had exhibited a great desire for an education and was up to last January, when first taken sick, reading medicine under Dr. Morrison of this city. He was a close student, and a bright career was predicted for him, but alas to human hopes, for notwithstanding he was in the prime of life and the full enjoyment of that which is the foundation of this life's happiness—heath, yet when the pneumonia fever spread over our county last winter Newton was one of the first to yield to its dread embrace. For weeks his life was despaired of but to the joy of all he appeared to grow better and at last was able to leave his bed, but yet the wonted bloom of health, as of old, returned not. He was advised to try the renowned atmosphere of Colorado. He did so and for a time hope was entertained but all hope seemed but to bloom and died and he was again brought home where all that love and skill could do was done but all in vain and on last Thursday evening, surrounded by doting parents, loving brothers and sisters, Newton N. Perdew's earthly pilgrimage was ended. To his weeping friends we would say look not upon the grave as his abiding place, for all that we loved while here will be gathered in that home of which he died in full hope, and his happy conversion as the passport to that sweet rest of the soul.

Called Above. Death of Another Noble Woman—Mrs. Jas. Paschal.
The grim monster death is never idle. Like the dragon of fable, he lurks around and when least expected, enters a happy home and plucks a devoted one from its number. His latest victim was Mrs. Jas. Paschal. The community was startled on Monday by the announcement that Mrs. Paschal was dead. Hardly anyone knew she was sick until the above announcement was made. Her disease was inflammation of the bowels. She was sick but three days before death claimed her. She was buried from the family residence at 3 P. M., Monday, Elder Davis of the Christian church conducting the services.
Araminta Hahn was born in Columbiana county, Ohio and with her parents moved to Iowa in 1852. In 1854, at Columbus City, Iowa, she was married to Mr. Jas. Paschal, with whom she has lived, a devoted wife and Christian mother ever since. Seven children were born of this union, all of whom are living. At the early age of sixteen, she gave her young heart to the Saviour and has consistently followed His teachings ever since. In her death, the stricken husband has lost a faithful and devoted wife and the children a kind and indulgent mother. May they, in this trying hour, look as did their dear mother, to Him who alone can cure the broken heart. The family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends, both in the city and country.

James D. Paschal Dead. One of Best Known Residents of Nodaway County Died at His Home in Maryville Monday Night.
James D. [ickerson] Paschal died at his home in North Maryville at 12 o'clock Monday night aged 70 years.
He had been sick since before Christmas and for some time past his death had been daily expected.
Mr. Paschal was born in Pike county, Ohio, December 23, 1832.
He moved to Iowa in an early day and was married there in 1854 to Miss Araminta Hann who died July 11, 1880.
Mr. Paschal and wife moved to Missouri thirty-five years ago last October and settled on a farm. Mr. Paschal improved two fine farms in Nodaway county and was for years engaged in the stock business.
He has always been considered one of the best judges of stock in the county and a shrewd buyer. His ability to make money in this business led to his being engaged much of the time by prominent stockmen to do their buying for them.

Poor Pierce. Bad Whiskey gets Away with him.
On last Saturday morning Wm. A. Pierce was found dead in bed at his boarding house in Quitman. Mr. Phillips, our coroner, was notified and went out Saturday to hold an inquest. The coroner's jury were: D. W. Dunn, J. L. Mason, T. M. Davis, W. R. Smith, B. Martin and T. B. Kessenger. After hearing the testimony, the jury decided that the deceased came to his death through his intemperate habits.
Mr. Pierce was a miller by trade. He had been married but was divorced. Was about thirty-eight years of age. Had relatives in Ohio. He came to Missouri six years ago and those who knew said he was in the habit of getting on fearful sprees. And all that was mortal of poor William Pierce was committed to the earth on last Sabbath. May his death be an example to others, "to touch not, taste not, handle not."

[PIERCE, WILLIAM A.]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, February 10, 1881
--W. A. Pierce, who was found dead at Quitman some time ago, deserted a wife and family in Ohio. Up to the time he left his family there, he was considered a good citizen. His family and friends heard nothing of him from the time he left until they saw an account of his death in the paper.

[PIERCE, WILLIAM A.]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, February 10, 1881
--A late copy of the Chillicothe, Ohio, Register has this to say regarding W. A. Pierce, who was found dead a few weeks ago at Quitman:
Among the children whom Mr. Job Pierce left at Bainbridge was a son to whom he had given the name of William A. William grew up to manhood a respectable and industrious personage and during the celebrated Morgan raid, had the honor of commanding the company of militia raised by Bainbridge to defend her firesides and her homes from the attack of the ruthless invader. He afterwards removed to Vinton county, where at Wilkesville he became enamored of a young woman whom he afterwards married. He then went to Hamden where he learned milling. Whether it was the result of an hereditary trait or not, we know not, but suddenly, like his father before had done, one morning he packed his "keyster," and turning his face toward the setting sun, he bade farewell to wife, friends and the little village. The deserted wife in time procured a divorce and William A. was soon almost forgotten.

--Death comes sudden and unexpected to many a happy household, but it seldom comes as suddenly as it did to the family of Elias Pittman yesterday morning. Bertha Isadore, his little two year old daughter, went to bed with a slight cold but nothing serious. At two o'clock Mr. Pittman awoke by the little one attempting to cough. The sound told that the child had the croup. The best medical aid was at once summoned and all did possible for the little sufferer. But of no avail. At fifteen minutes to five the spirit took its flight. The funeral services take place this afternoon at 2 P. M. at the Christian church, Elder R. N. Davis, officiating. So suddenly has the darling jewel of the household been stricken down that the parents are unconsolable. May God comfort them.

--Mr. and Mrs. Elias Pittman mourn today the death of their bright little daughter, Bertha I.[sadore], whose spirit took its flight into the sweet beyond to dwell with Him above Wednesday morning, the 5th inst. The night previous to her death little Bertha was well and played around the fireside and with her childish prattle made those around her so happy. When she retired there was no complaint of feeling ill, but at 4 o'clock in the morning she awoke with a severe cough and an attack of the croup and at fifteen minutes before five, less than one hour from the time she was taken, passed away. Funeral services will take place at the Christian church, this Thursday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Friends of the family invited.
