NORTH LINCOLN – Wednesday the 16th, Mrs. Appleby, consort of John Appleby of Lincoln township, breathed her last surrounded by her husband and children, all grown. For thirty years she has been a sufferer that dread destroyer of the human family, consumption. Of late years her suffering has been intense yet she bore it very patiently and with that resignation so characteristic of the true Christian. Deceased was born in the state of New York in the year 1813, where she married. She moved with her husband to the state of Illinois in 1852, settling in Jo Daviess county, where they resided until the year 1875, when they came to Missouri. Had she lived until the next anniversary of their marriage, fifty years would have been numbered since that event. But she is gone. Not till the graves are summoned to give up their dead will she again live. But then
"The cry goes forth, a shout is heard,
The dead awake and sing,
The living put on glory, one glad land
They hasten up to meet their God, the
King.

Passed to Her Reward.
Mrs. Geneva Bradley, wife of Harvey E. [ugene] Bradley, who lives six miles southwest of Hopkins, died at the family home Saturday afternoon last. Her maiden name was Geneva Stoaks, her birthplace being Scott county, Iowa. A little later the parental home was changed to the vicinity of Beatrice, Nebraska, where she received most of her schooling. Here also, she was married to Mr. Bradley on the 9th of October 1890. Five or six years of their wedded life was spent in Oklahoma, one year in travel in a vain search for the wife's health and the remaining years in Nodaway county. Here the children have grown up, four boys and four girls. Ruth, the youngest, was still in the home, a comfort and help to both father and mother during the latter's last illness. Mrs. Edith Golay and Mrs. Opal Ringold and Ralph Bradley were other children within easy call. Archie lives near Clearmont; Opal at Savannah, Merrill at St. Joseph and Howard at David City, Nebraska. This wife and mother died young, shortly after passing the 46th milestone of life. For years she had been afflicted with what is popularly called creeping paralysis, suffering more and becoming more and more helpless as the years dragged by. She sometimes wondered that those who were strong and much needed by their loved ones, should be taken away and she left, a helpless sufferer. Said her husband, "She understands now." Through all of life, its cares and its afflictions, she clung to the faith of her childhood, and at the time of her death was a member of the Hopkins Christian church, having joined the church when a girl of 12 years.
The funeral service was held at the home Monday at 11 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Ben D. Gillespie of this place and burial took place at the Shearer cemetery. There the body rests beside that of a baby boy that went on before years ago.

A sad accident occurred four miles south of Corbitt on Tuesday evening.

Struck by Lightning.
The truth of the old adage, "In the midst of life we are in death," has been painfully illustrated by an incident of the past week. On Tuesday evening a party of young people from Corbitt and vicinity, consisting of the Missses Bradshaw, the Misses Gosslee and Miss Sallie Kensall, Dr. C. F. Randall, Bradford, Harvey and Lewis Bradley, were at Rio. The party left here just before the storm, in fine spirits, little thinking that before two hours had passed one of the merry singers would be launched into eternity. Dr. Randall and the young ladies were left at their respective homes, and the Bradley brothers then started for their homes south of Corbitt. The night being dark and the trail dim, Bradford got out to look for the road. Lew, who was driving, was standing up in the wagon, when there came a flash of lightning, striking both him and the team dead. The other boys were also injured but not seriously. They were taken into the house of Wm. Conrad, who rendered all assistance in his power. Lew Bradley was a young man well liked by everyone. He was honest, industrious and ambitious and his sudden death has cast a gloom over the entire community and carried sorrow to many hearts. The remains in charge of his brother, Bradford, were sent to his old home in Iowa. The bereaved mother and brothers have the sympathy of many friends in this vicinity.
