A Loving Mother Gone. Death of Mrs. Hannah Long.
Hannah Dusenberry was born in Monongahela county, Virginia April 28th, 1848. Afterward emigrating to Ill., where on the 24th day of Sept. 1864, she was led to the bridal altar by Joseph Long with whom she lived happily until the 10th day of September 1885, when she was called to her reward beyond the river of death. Of this union four sons and two daughters (now living) were born.
In the fall of 1873 they moved to Graham where the writer first met her. She was a woman of amiable disposition, commanding the respect and was highly esteemed by all who knew her. Her greatest delight seemed to be to make home happy. She was devotedly attached to her children and labored for their advancement, proper training, and moral development. It was her delight to send them to church and Sabbath school and to know that their conduct was reverential and proper. But her labor with them and her disconsolate husband, has ended; but her Christian example and kindness of disposition we trust has taken root in their hearts and will be their guiding Star through the remaining journey of life. . . .
This death was an unusually sad one. Mrs. Long had been in feeble health for several months. Owing to her peculiar condition, she looked forward to her hour of sorrow with gloomy forebodings and set her house in order. The time came with its sorrows, which she bore with patience and trust until delivery was accomplished and until the thick darkness gathered round, when she crossed the cold stream of death and joined her loved ones on the other shore.
As we write, our mind revisits that solemn chamber of death. We are with weeping friends beside the beautiful, flower bedecked casket. That pale angelic face is again before us; the Bud of Promise for which she gave her life, lies cold in death upon her bosom; with saddened heart and tear dimmed eyes, we turned from the solemn scene comforted only by the precious promises of the Bible which breathe of love in Heaven, the home of angels and joys too pure to die. . . . .

Noted As Lawyer And Public Speaker. Taken Ill Last Summer And Received Four Transfusions of Blood—No Funeral Arrangements.
B. [everly] Raleigh Martin died at the Augustana hospital in Chicago at 6:05 o'clock this morning after several month's illness resulting from a surgical operation which took place on December 7, 1916. Mr. Martin's death while not unexpected, was a shock to his friends and relatives at the time it came, as the latest reports from Chicago had been most encouraging. Mrs. Martin, his wife, is in Maryville and will leave this evening for Chicago, in company with her husband's brother, Dr. Vilas Martin. As soon as they arrive in Chicago, the arrangements for the funeral will be made and telegraphed to Maryville.
To Missouri on Business.
Mrs. Martin came to St. Joseph at the urgent request of her husband, who wanted her to transact some business for him. She left Chicago Friday evening and attended to the business Saturday. She came up to Maryville from St. Joseph to spend Sunday also at his request and intended to leave for Chicago this evening.
According to the account received by the family, Mr. Martin spent a restful night. At 1:30 o'clock he awoke and asked for hot milk. This was given to him and a short time afte he went to sleep and never awoke.
Born in Illinois.
Mr. Martin was born in Macomb, Illinois, July 6, 1872, being 44 years old. His parents were Dr. Francis M. and Sarah Salome (Westfall) Martin. He received his primary education at LaHarpe, Ill., and in the Maryville public schools. He was graduated from the Maryville Seminary in 1892. He read law while attending school, and after his graduation he entered the law office of Judge W. W. Ramsay. He was admitted to the bar in 1893. He opened an office at Hopkins and from the first acquired a reputation as a successful lawyer.
Elected Prosecutor.
In 1898 he was elected prosecuting attorney of Nodaway county, his abilities and public spirit having attracted the attention of party leaders and of the public as well. His talent as a criminal lawyer was recognized early, and he was retained in a number of the important cases, among them: the State of Missouri against Ulmer and Rasco, Ulmer receiving a sentence of twenty years in the state penitentiary; and also that of the State of Iowa against Friend, Beabout and Pope. As a prosecutor he had charge of a number of important cases, all of which he handled to the satisfaction of the persons concerned.
Moves to St. Joseph.
Seeking a larger field for the exercises of his talents, Mr. Martin moved to St. Joseph April 15, 1910, and there took front rank among the lawyers of the Buchanan County Bar. He was a candidate at the primaries for the Democratic nomination for congressman in 1912 and 1916.
Mr. Martin was married in 1893 to Mabel Thurston, the excellent representative of an old family of Jackson county, Missouri, and to this union two children were born; Pauline, who is now a student at Smith College in Northampton, Mass., and Marion T. who is attending Yale.
The illness which caused the death of Mr. Martin began last summer and during the months of his illness everything science and medical skill proscribed was done for him. He received four transfusions of blood from healthy persons. On December 7, he was operated on as a last resort, but every effort seemed to no avail.
Many Relatives Survive.
Besides his wife and children he is survived by his father and mother, his brother, Dr. Vilas Martin and his sisters, Mrs. Phil Smiley and Miss Mabel Martin at home.
Mr. Martin's oratorical skill, together with his familiarity with literature and with the topics of the day, made a great demand for his services as a lecturer and orator. He appeared on many platforms and could give an interesting, entertaining lecture on almost any subject at short notice.
Member of Fraternal Orders.
In addition to his duties as a lawyer and his work as a public speaker, Mr. Martin found time to associate himself with his friends in a number of fraternal orders. He was a member of the Maryville lodge, No. 165, A. F. and A. M. and to K. T. in Maryville and Shriners in St. Joseph. He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias, of the Modern Woodmen, of the Knights and Ladies of Security, of the Elks and the Moose.
One of the connections which he particularly cherished was that with the Sons of the American Revolution, having attained this honor through his great great grandfather, Lieutenant Jacob Westfall of the Revolutionary army. This lieutenant accompanied General George Rodgers Clark at the close of the Revolution in the expedition that resulted in the capture of Vincennes and Kaskaskia.

Deceased was born in Washington county, Ohio, June 18, 1808, making him at the time of death 77 years, five months and twenty days of age. He had been a great sufferer for a great many years, having been blind for eight years until six months previous to his death he had his right eye operated on by Dr Wilson of Maryville; after which he could see well enough to distinguish his children and friends. And having gained this much of his sight he was in hopes his sight would be fully restored by operating on the other eye, for which purpose he went to Maryville Nov. 27th. After having the operation performed, he was taken sick at the Dr's who sent him home, where his death occurred nine days afterward. Deceased had been a consistent member of the Baptist church for forty years and said to his son and several of his friends during his illness that he was not afraid to die having been waiting patiently for the call of the Lord. He had been twice married. First time in 1830 to Betsy Devol, of which marriage there are five children living. The second time in 1856 to Mrs. M. J. Beckley. The widow and four children are left to mourn his loss. He was an affectionate husband and kind father and it is left for them to prepare to meet him in a better world, where there is no parting or death.   A. J. Anderson Jr.

--Mr. J. [ohn] L. [ee] Mason died very suddenly at the Mineral Springs at Burlington Junction last Friday about noon. Mr. Mason had been up to the Junction in the morning and walked out to the Springs just before noon and asked for a bath, when it was prepared. He stepped into the room. Nothing more was heard of him for a few minutes. Someone passing through the hall hearing an unusual noise in his room called and receiving no answer tried the door, which being locked, was immediately forced open, when Mr. Mason was found in the bath tub in the throes of death. He was immediately taken from the tub and laid on the floor but only lived about a minute.

Died – Mrs. Rachael McCreary, on the 3d day of July 1883, at the residence of Ed. M. Gardner in Bozeman, Montana.
The subject of this sketch, after a short illness and surrounded by relatives and friends, drifted out on that unknown sea that rolls around the whole world. The deceased was a native of Pennsylvania, where she was married and with her husband came west and located at the Iowa Mission, then located near the present town of Highland, Kansas. After a short residence there they came to this county about the year 1845, having purchased the farm now owned by Lewis Anders on the Nodaway river.
Mr. McCreary went with the tide of emigrants that first explored the gold fields of California, but on his return from the second trip died on a Mississippi steamer of cholera, which at the time was raging in New Orleans. After the death of her husband, deceased resided at Highland and near Graham, in this county, until April 1879, when she with the family of E. M. Gardner, removed to Bozeman. Two children, T. J. McCreary of Highland and Mrs. E. M. Gardner, survive her. The many relatives and friends here will learn with sorrow of her death and recall with saddened memories the friendship formed in years long past, but with that calm assurance, born of perfect faith, that as surely as the pathway from earth to God, is that of patient endeavor, so surely has she earned the reward.  A Friend.

E. church when a young man and lived a consistent Christian, and in his very last hours praised the Lord for his goodness and many blessings to him and said his future prospects were very bright; he had no fears of death, although he desired to live to comfort his family. On Friday morning he called his wife and children to his bedside and told them he was called to bid them an earthly adieu. He wanted to admonish them to seek the Lord in the days of their youth and put their trust in Him who cares for the widows and orphans and live for God and meet their father in Heaven. He told his weeping wife that all was well with him and to be faithful a little longer and to raise the children to serve and love God. He spoke of his many friends who stood weeping around him, to meet him in Heaven. He expired Friday evening at 9:40 P. M. without a struggle, just as one going to sleep.
Mr. Miller was badly hurt by a tree falling and striking him in the back February 20, from which he took the typhoid fever, accompanied with a chronic diarrhea, which took him away on the evening of the 7th inst., after a painful illness of 16 days. He was provided with the best of medical aid and kind friends administered to him with untiring zeal and everything was done for him that human power could administer. His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. I. S. Ware, Sabbath morning, at the Myrtle Tree school house.  He was interred in the Ware cemetery. Mr. Miller served 3 years in the war of '61, he being captain of company F, 114th Illinois regiment.    A Friend.

Death of A. Z. Miller. On the Night of March 7th at About Ten O'Clock.
Another man held in high esteem by his neighbors and friends and by all who had any acquaintance with him, has been gathered to his fathers. We refer to Mr. A. [bsalom] Z. Miller, who resided some six miles northeast of Maryville. Mr. Miller, some two weeks ago, received quite a serious injury by a tree falling, some of the branches striking him. While confined to his bed and considerably prostrated from this injury, typhoid fever developed and last, but not least, in the line of diseases, chronic diarrhea, which he had contracted in the army, was present, but for which, it is thought he would have recovered.
His death occurred Friday night, March 7, at about ten o'clock. He was conscious to the last and died in the triumph of a living faith, with a smile on his lips, reconciled and happy. Such a death was a fitting close to the happy life he led on earth.
Our informant told us that Mr. Miller was born in Tennessee and that he was about 53 years of age. When about eight years old, he moved with his parents to Illinois. During the war he was a captain in the 114 Ills Regiment. He had lived here some 15 years. The funeral services were held last Sunday at the Myrtle Tree school house, conducted by Rev. Isaac Ware of the Methodist church, of which the deceased was a worthy and devoted member. He was buried in the Myrtle Tree cemetery. He leaves a wife and four children who, while they mourn his loss, nevertheless find great consolation in the fact that he died happy. He was highly respected and beloved by all who knew him. May his many virtues be remembered by those who were with him most and knew him best.

SWAN CHAPEL – Last week's Republican says: Garrett Miller, who was killed by lightning, was married. We have reliable information that he was unmarried, about 24 years old and it is said was soon to be married to an estimable young lady of that vicinity. He was a first class young man, respected by all who knew him and the news of his death cast a gloom over the community. His funeral was largely attended, some from this vicinity going. He was the son of John Miller and nephew of Isaac Miller, well known in the southern part of the county, also nephew of John Garrett living six or seven miles west of Maryville.

Laid To Rest. Henry M. Miller Passes from Earth to the Great Beyond.
A correspondent writes as follows regarding the death of Henry Miller:
"Henry M. Miller, son of Abram C. [ortez] and Charlotte Miller, was born December 31, 1861, in Andrew county, Mo., died of typho-pneumonia June 5, 1883, in Nodaway county, Mo., at his parents' home, six miles west of Hopkins. He was a young man of good moral character and respected by all who knew him. Two days before his death he made profession of faith in Christ and received evidence of sins forgiven. He acknowledged that he had made a mistake in postponing religion until so late an hour. His remains were followed by a large concourse of people to the Hopkins cemetery, where they were laid to rest to await the great judgement day. Peace to his ashes."
The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community in this dark hour.

John B. Miller. He Passes Over the Silent River.
It is with sorrow that we announce the death of John B. Miller of this office. Last May failing health compelled him to leave the office. At first it was thought a few weeks of recreation would make him all right, but he gradually failed and two weeks ago took to his bed from which he never arose. He knew that death was inevitable and met it calmly and fearlessly. Getting his house in order without a murmur, he awaited the last summons. He suffered no pain and passed away as gentle as a child to sleep. His death occurred at 4 o'clock P. M. Thursday, July 31st.
His funeral services took place on Friday, at 2 o'clock P. M. at the M. E. church. The Rev. T. A. Canady preached an affecting discourse to a crowded house. Mr. Miller was a member of this church and had been for many years. he was also a member of the S. K. A. O. U. W. and the order was out in force and he was buried with the solemn ceremonies of the order. His remains were buried in Miriam cemetery.
A post-mortem examination held by Dr. Morrison, assisted by Drs. Goodson, Moore and Hackedorn, revealed the fact that he died of inflammation of the stomach.
Mr. Miller was born in Virginia, and was nearly fifty years of age. He was married twenty-five years ago last January to Miss Fannie Botkin and their married life has been a very happy one, they being devoted to each other. The fruit of their union has been eight children, all living. The eldest, Minnie, is the wife of Emmett Lane and resides in Kingman county, Kansas. But she was sent for and arrived in time to make happier the last days of her father.
Harry, the oldest son, is married and lives in Atchison county. The other children are all at home and are: Anna, James, Jennie, Floyd, Byron and Belle, the youngest being only two years of age.
Mr. Miller's father is yet living and one brother, Jasper, who resides in Washington county, Kansas. This brother was with him in his last moments and on his return took Jimmie home with him.
Mr. Miller was a printer by profession and worked at his trade until some fifteen years ago, when he moved to Osborne county, Kansas and took up a claim. But the dreaded grasshoppers came and his happy home was a desert. He was not only ruined but starvation stared the family in the face. To avoid it, he was forced to leave everything and come east. He came to Maryville in the fall of 1874.
On the first day of February 1875, he came into the office of the Republican and from that time until his last sickness, he was one of the most valued and trusted employees. Always at his post of duty, he was faithful to the last.
In his family he was ever kind and indulgent and there was no sacrifice however great he would not willingly make.
His family was devoted to him, and his loss is a terrible blow to them.
To the afflicted wife and children, the sympathy of the whole community is extended. May He who pities and watches over the widow and fatherless comfort them by His divine presence.
Mr. Miller was a member of the S. K. A. O. U. W. and the benefits on his life amount to nearly $5,000. The members of this Order watched over him in his sickness like true brothers and their actions show this Order to be one of the noblest Benevolent Orders in existence.

Death of John B. Miller. An Estimable Citizen and a good man Called into Eternity.
Died, at his residence in Maryville, on Thursday, July 31, 1884, at four o'clock p. m., of inflammation of the stomach, after a three months sickness, John B. Miller, aged about fifty years.
The subject of this notice was born in Clarksburg, Virginia. He moved to Ohio when a small boy and from there to Illinois in 1856. In 1872 he moved to Kansas and in 1874 moved to this city. Mr. Miller was a printer from his boyhood days. He learned the trade in the office of the Portsmouth (Ohio) Enquirer, a paper owned and edited by his father. Subsequently and before leaving Ohio, he worked for several years on the Cincinnati Gazette and before he moved to Maryville he worked for some time on a paper published at Osborn, Kansas. Mr. Miller went into the employ of the Maryville Republican in February 1875. Two years ago last June he was taken sick and by said sickness was prevented from working in the office for some three months. He then resumed his place again and continued to work in the office until about the first of last May. Since that time it has been apparent to his friends that he was on the decline. For several weeks he was confined to his bed. His sufferings for some time before his death were not very great, or if they were he did not manifest it. He uttered no words of complaint and was rational to the last. When he began to realize that the sickness in all probability would prove fatal, he talked of his death with the utmost composure and as coolly as if conversing about some of his temporal affairs. Owing to the peculiarity of his disease, Drs. Morrison, Hackedorn, Moore and Goodson held a post mortem examination which only confirmed their view that the immediate cause of death was inflammation of the stomach. Mr. Miller was united in marriage to the wife who survives him twenty-five years ago last February. They have eight children. Harry and Minnie are married, the former living in Atchison county, Mo. and the latter in Kansas. Three boys and three girls are left at home, the youngest child being about two years of age. Mr. Miller's father who is now about seventy years of age, is still living and resides with his son, Jasper Y. Miller near Washington, Kansas.
The funeral services were held at the Main street M. E. church Friday, August 1, at two p. m., conducted by Rev. T. A. Canady. The deceased united himself with said church in 1862 and lived a consistent member until the day of his death. After singing by the choir, Rev. Robert White offered prayer. Appropriate scripture was then read by Rev. J. R. Sasseen and then, by request, the choir and congregation sang, "Nearer, my God, to thee." Rev. Canaday delivered a brief and appropriate sermon from Daniel 12:13—"But go thou thy way until the end be; for thou shalt rest and stand in thy lot at the end of thy days." The minister, during his remarks, spoke of having visited the deceased several times and conversed with him on the subject of death and the hereafter. He talked of those serious matters with the utmost composure, said he was willing to die and had no fears of death. This was what he told all who talked with him with reference to these things.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the audience was permitted to take a last look at the familiar face of the departed and then the casket was closed up and the mortal remains conveyed to Miriam cemetery and there laid to rest.
The Ancient Order of United Workman [Workmen], of which order he was a member, took charge of the funeral and conducted it according to their impressive ceremonies.
Mr. Miller had the following insurance in the order: In the subordinate lodge A. O. U. W., $2,000; $1,000 in the grand jurisdiction of the select Knights and $2,000 in The Supreme Legion of the Select Knights,  making in all $5,000 which the family will get in the course of a month or two. His lodge cared for him during all his sickness, furnished night-watchers, paid $4 per week benefits and did everything in their power while life remained to relieve his sufferings and minister to his comfort. When dead they tenderly laid him away and now bequeath to his widow and children a sum of money which, with judicious management, will enable the family to get along nicely, though they have but little else of this world's goods to depend on. Mr. Miller expressed to N. T. Jones and M. Moss, members of his lodge, a wish, before he died, that his wife should take a portion of this money, buy a little farm and locate upon it. How comforting it must have been to the dying man to know that the excellent order to which he belonged had cared so well for him and were doing so much for his family. This is an exhibition of benevolence that imparts to a dying man some faith in his fellows and enables him to feel that his family will have friends when he no longer can help them.
John B. Miller was a good man, a kind husband, a loving father and always devoted to his family. What higher eulogy can be passed upon the departed?

Milligan was drowned while catching drift wood. Andrew A. [lbert] Milligan was born Oct. 30, 1843, Perry county, Ohio. Enlisted Aug. 19, 1862, Co. I, Sixty-Second Ohio Inft. Wounded at Bur [words missing] losing the sense of smell. Discharged in August 1865. Joined the M. E. church when twelve years of age and remained a member until his death. Married Amanda J. Davis Feb. 16, 1862, of Muskingum county Ohio. He moved to Seward county, Nebraska in 1871 and to Graham in 1876. Deceased leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his demise. Was Chaplain of Reynolds Post, G. A. R. at the time of his death. To the bereft ones we extend our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of their bereavement. We are aware that in an hour like this, human sympathy is insufficient for them. May they lean on the arm of the Redeemer and when life with them is o'er, join that loved one whose loss they now mourn, in "that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."

Death of Ira Moore.
Ira Moore, known throughout Nodaway county as "Uncle Ira," was taken sick almost two weeks ago and died at his home, nine miles northeast of Maryville, Thursday morning of last week. The funeral services were held the following Sunday, the interment taking place in Miriam cemetery, this city.
Mr. Moore was sixty five years of age at the time of his death, having been born May 31st, 1832. At the age of eleven years he moved with his parents from Parke county, Indiana, the place of his birth, to Hancock county, Illinois, where he resided until 1869 when he emigrated west and settled in this state.
July 4, 1856, he was married to Miss Mahala C. Rohrbaugh and from their union a family of upright, honest and noble sons and daughters have been reared.
Several years back, Uncle Ira was reported to be one of the best fixed farmers, financially, in our county, but heavy investments in fine horses in which class of live stock he was deeply interested, crippled him in purse and it is to the worry over his losses that his death is partly attributable. But thanks to his industry and a good business management in early life, he still has considerable property for his wife and children.
Uncle Ira was one of the most widely known men in Nodaway county; and in his death we lose an honest, noble citizen.

One morning week before last, old lady Neff went out in usual health to milk her cows but was soon found by her husband in a senseless condition, struck down by apoplexy. Her children were sent for, and the best of medical aid employed, but all to no purpose. After lingering thirty-six hours she passed over the river of death to that land of bright spirits above. A good woman has gone. She was an efficient member of the church of God. She was in her sixty-sixth year and leaves her faithful companion in the seventy seventh year of his age. They lived alone and had been married forty-nine years one week ago last Sunday. Her remains were laid to rest in the Union school house graveyard by the side of one daughter and two sons who had preceded her to the grave.

The little three year old girl had been sick with membranous croup from the Wednesday previous, but on Mr. Nelson's arrival strong hopes were entertained for her recovery. These hopes were blasted, however, for about noon Sunday she became worse and sank rapidly, dying at 8:15 P. M. Sunday, September 13.

John Nelson. He is Shot Dead at Stanberry.
Our City was thrown into excitement on Tuesday by a telegram received by Henry Nelson saying that his son John Nelson had been found dead in a yard in Stanberry.
The accounts received so far are very meager, but it seems that sometime during the morning the dead body of Nelson was discovered. He had been struck in the back with a ball, it passing through him, coming out near the heart.
It is said a Mrs. Stewart, the wife of a railroad engineer, fired the shot, but under what circumstances we do not know.
John was well known in this city where he lived for years. He married the daughter of Jacob Barringer of this city. He has two children living. It is with sorrow we chronicle his taking off in such a manner and will make no comments until the full particulars of the affair is known.

[NELSON, JOHN]

Killing of John Nelson. Account Given by the Stanberry News.
The Stanberry News gives the following account of the killing of John Nelson:
Last Tuesday morning the dead body of a man was found in the back part of James McGoran's yard, and a crowd soon gathered in that locality. The dead man was recognized as John Nelson, who has lived in this city since its foundation and is well known here. He was a printer, and he has worked at different times on both city papers here.
The inquest developed the fact that he had been shot, a 32-100 ball being found in his body which had passed through his left lung. As soon as the news spread, Mrs. E. G. Stewart, wife of an engineer on the Wabash here, sent for the marshal and informed him that she had shot at a man who was attempting to break into her house in the night. Nelson was barefoot when found, his boots lying upon the ground beside him and upon investigation his footprints could be plainly traced to Mrs. Stewart's residence. This, together with the fact that the bullet found in his body fitted the revolver in Mrs. Stewart's possession, left little room to doubt that she had fired the fatal shot.
Mrs. Stewart says she did not intend to hit him, but as this was the third time she had been annoyed in the same manner she meant to frighten the man so effectually that he would not return.
The house occupied by Mrs. Stewart is a small one of three rooms and she occupied a bed in the kitchen which contains two windows, one looking north one west. Mrs. Stewart's mother occupied one of the front rooms. She says she was awakened by someone working at the north window, which is near her bed. The person had torn off the outside screen and was working at the window when she awoke. The man soon left the north window and went to the west one. She got her revolver and told the man to leave or she would shoot. He paid no attention to her threats but continued his efforts to effect an entrance whereupon she pointed her revolver at the window and fired. She saw the man run to the fence, which was only a few steps from the window, and climb over. She did not think [she] had hit him until she heard the next morning that he was dead. She had no acquaintance with Nelson and never spoke to him but once in her life. She did not know who the man outside the window was, but thought she recognized the clothes as belonging to the same person who had before attempted to effect an entrance.
The coroner's jury brought in a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Mrs. Stewart voluntarily [gave] bond for $500 for her appearance before the grand jury. There probably be no bill found against her. It is the general sentiment here that there ought not to be.
We are sorry to have to publish such an incident as happening in our city. Mrs. Stewart is a very respectable woman and we have heard no whisper against her in any way. Those who know her speak highly of her. Nelson has not borne a bad character in this city during his residence here but has been looked upon as rather a worthless individual. He has had no steady occupation, has been in the habit of drinking considerably. He was partially intoxicated on Monday night and a half empty bottle of whiskey was found on his person. Attempts to enter the house where women were known to be alone have been frequent of late and this affair will no doubt have a salutary effect. We believe Mrs. Stewart to be blameless in the matter. She was defending not only her home but her honor. What the consequences would have been had Nelson gained an entrance to the house, we can only conjecture.

John Nelson Killed By Being Shot in the Back at Stanberry Monday Night.
The following particulars, relative to the death of John V. Nelson, son of Constable Henry Nelson, whose dead body was found at Stanberry last Tuesday morning, we have obtained from a reliable correspondent at Stanberry:
STANBERRY, Mo., Sept. 17, 1884.
Yesterday morning, early, a dead body was discovered in the back yard of James McGaron's dwelling, at this place. Investigation proved the body to be that of John Nelson, formerly of Maryville but for the past four years a resident of this place. A number 32 ball had pierced his back just below the left shoulder blade and lodged in the breast just beneath the skin. When found he was lying on his back, his left hand stretched away from his body and his right thrown across his mouth. His face and body was covered with dirt, showing that he had wallowed in the earth and evidently died an agonizing death.
The case was at first shrouded in mystery but early in the morning it was known to the officers who fired, and later in the day it became generally known the shot which put the unfortunate man to rest was fired by one Mrs. Edward Stewart, who says that about 11:30 Monday night a man came to her window and tried to effect an entrance. He was warned to leave and threatened if he did not. The lady states that he replied he was not afraid of her shots and that he was not going away, or language to that effect. She then fired and reports that he jumped over the fence and ran in the direction of where he was found on the following morning. she did not think that the shot had taken effect and did not know that he was dead until the discovery was made Tuesday morning. The coroner's jury is taking testimony in the case this morning. J. W. Witten, the prosecuting attorney, is here in charge of the case.
The body of the deceased will be taken to Barnard for burial today.  Reporter.
John Nelson was well known in this city. He was about forty years of age and was married and was living with his wife at Stanberry at the time he was killed. He had no children—a daughter having died about three years ago. He was the oldest son of Constable Henry Nelson. John had become somewhat dissipated the last year or so. His unfortunate end is deeply regretted by his many friends.
His wife is the daughter of Daniel Barringer of Grant township.

--Our community was more or less shocked when it learned that Grandma Newhard had breathed her last at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Ricketts, last Sabbath. She had enjoyed good health up to about ten days prior to her death, when she contracted a severe cold which turned into pneumonia and typhoid fever. The best of medical aid was summoned but it was of no avail, as the monster, death, had already laid his claim on her. She was in her 66th year at the time of her death. She was buried alongside of her husband in Oak Hill cemetery, who preceded her five years ago. She leaves four children to mourn her sudden demise, two of whom are Mrs. John Curnutt and Mrs. Ricketts, residents of this city.

Obituary of G. W. Nicholas.
George Washington Nicholas was born in Vinton county, Ohio, July 29, 1831. In this county he grew to manhood. On March 6, 1851, he was united in marriage to Miss Winnie Humphrey, of the same county and state. In the spring of the same year he with his wife emigrated to Stark county, Illinois, where he resided until 1868, when he moved to Amity, Page county, Iowa. Thence in the spring of 1880 with his family removed to the present home, 2 ½ miles southeast of Burlington Junction, Mo. Here for thirty years Mr. Nicholas has been one of the leading farmers and stock raisers in this part of the county, always lending a helping hand to all matters of public interest and enterprise.
In August 1862, he enlisted in the 112th Illinois infantry and was mustered out of the service July 3, 1865. Thus in its time of need he gave to the country he loved several years of faithful service. In November 1863, he was taken prisoner at Knoxville, Tennessee and for about 15 months was held in a number of southern prisons and for a time was in the noted Andersonville prison. There he so far lost his health that he was never more a rugged and healthy man. He was a member of Quitman lodge No. 196 A. F. & A. M.
To Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas were born 15 children, 9 girls and 6 boys. Three daughters are dead, 5 sons and 6 daughters live in this vicinity and one son lives in Nebraska.
In 1873 Mr. Nicholas was converted and united with the Christian church at Quitman where he was a faithful worker for seven years. He was then connected with the Shell Grove church until the Christian church was organized in Burlington Junction, then he became a charter member in this church in which he has since lived a faithful and devoted member.
For the last three months he has been in failing health which grew gradually worse until his death, which occurred on Friday, March 29, 1901. – B. J. Post.

Died; Lydia Nicholas, daughter of George Nicholas and wife, was born May 6th, 1866, died Oct. 10th, 1885, being 19 yrs., 5 months and 4 days of age.
She joined the Christian Church three years ago and has since lived in harmony with her profession.
Dying, she gave her parents and friends every evidence that she was not afraid to meet the Master and was willing to go and be with those loved ones dead who, she said, had been calling her to come and be with them.
Sister Lydia was a young lady of great worth and will be missed not only in that home in which she was enshrined in every heart but in the church and school and in every circle of which she was a part.
A large audience of her many friends listened to the sermon preached by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15.54, in the Christian church Oct. 11th, 1885 and followed her to the grave for which may God prepare us all to go in that sweet hope in which our sister died.    J. Gresham, Burlington Junction, Mo.

--Last Wednesday morning Madison Nichols was drowned in the One-Hundred-and-Two river at Barnard. He had just rowed Mr. McCandliss over to the river to his mill and when they landed and jumped out, the boat started to float away. Nichols, who could not swim, waded in to catch the boat and stepping off in deep water sunk to rise no more. Mr. Nicholas was about 45 years of age and leaves a wife and several children to mourn his loss.

[NICHOLS, MADISON]

Madison Nichols was drowned at Barnard on Wednesday, June 20. He and McCandliss, the miller, got into a skiff on the Barnard side of the river and went across to the mill to the west door of the same. When McCandliss attempted to get out the skiff capsized throwing Nichols into the water and McCandliss falling just far enough inside the mill door to remain there. The water here was not deep enough to drown Nichols, but in endeavoring to capture the skiff he was whirled around the corner of the mill and got out into the main stream and soon went down to rise no more. Up to Tuesday his body had not been found. Nichols leaves a wife and eight children. A subscription by the citizens of $103 was made to donate to the family who were left in rather destitute circumstances. A brother of the drowned man from Ottumwa, Iowa, went to Barnard a few days after the drowning and gave the wife money enough to lift all encumbrances from the property in which the family resided.

The sad news was received in the city last Monday that Mrs. J. [oseph] M. Northcut had died at her home in Pueblo, Colorado. The news was not unexpected as it was known that her lease of life was short, consumption, that dread destroyer of the human family, having marked her for its victim. Mrs. N. was a member of the Catholic church and died as she had lived, an earnest Christian. The following account of her death we clip from the Pueblo Saturday Opinion:
"We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Sarah A. Northcut, wife of Joseph M. Northcut, which sad event occurred Thursday morning at eight o'clock at her home, corner of Eighth and High streets. She had long been a sufferer with consumption and came here with her husband and family some months ago, hoping to regain her failing health but like many others so afflicted she came too late. She had every attention and the best of medical aid but to no avail. She leaves a devoted husband and five children to mourn her sad loss. Her funeral, which occurred Friday afternoon, was attended by a large circle of friends."

Edward was 6 years and 11 months old, but was a bright, patient sufferer and gave joy to those around him.

     But gone into that school
Where he no longer needs our poor protection,

By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptations, safe from sin's pollution,
Edward lives, whom we call dead.       E. H. Hutchison.

Mr. Penny has been a very healthy man. His son Wm. informs us his father never had been confined to his bed a whole day since his recollection and never had taken any medicine save home remedies until last Monday evening, only two days. He then complained of a severe cold for five or six days. Having a cold, he would not consent to having a Dr. called in until Monday evening of last week but quite soon at least by Tuesday noon it was plain to be seen he was fast sinking and his sons, Huster, Worth and William were summoned by telegraph and only Wm. arrived until after his death. Mrs. Hardesty and Mrs. Hamill and the aged wife and kind friends and medical skill all failed. On Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock while loving and kind friends gathered around his dying bed, his form was forever stilled in death. To the aged wife, sons and daughters, loving friends and kind neighbors. In God we trust and the entire community sorrow with you in this sad hour.

Mary Ann P. Penny was born in Tennessee March 4, 1820. She left there when six years of age, going with her parents to Illinois, where on December 22, 1837, she was married to G. [eorge] W. [ashington] Penny. There was born to this union eight children, three girls and five boys, of whom three boys and two girls survive—Houston, of Illinois; Worth P. of Kansas City; A. W. of Oklahoma; Virginia Hardesty of this county, and Nancy Hamill of this city.
About thirty years ago she came to this county. Having become a member of the Christian church in Illinois at the age of 15, immediately upon arriving here she placed her letter with the church of this city, where her membership ever afterwards remained.
Owing to feebleness she was not able for some years past to attend church but living a pure Christian life, she never lost interest in the cause of Christ. Her husband dying sixteen years ago, she has since lived with her daughters, Mrs. Hardesty and Mrs. Hamill.
Though feeble for some years she continued to go about until a little over a week ago when she met with an accident which was the immediate cause of her death. At the time of the accident, she was at Mrs. Hardesty's. Upon the advice of her physician she was removed to the hospital of this city, where she died last Thursday, October 3, 1901, being 81 years and seven months old, lacking one day.
The remains were removed to the residence of Mrs. Hamill where preparations were made for the funeral, which took place at 11 a. m., Oct. 5, at the Baptist church, the Christian church being undergoing repairs.
Messages were sent by wire to the absent children but none of them could be present at the funeral. Her living descendants number about 60 souls, who with other relatives and friends remain to mourn her death. Interment took place at the Cain cemetery, where her husband had been buried.

Called Hence. Sudden Death of Mrs. John A. Peoples.
A most unexpected and terrible blow fell on Mr. John A. Peoples, the editor of the Times, of this city, on Monday evening, being the sudden death of his wife.
Mrs. Peoples has been very poorly all summer, having to all appearance the quick consumption. But for the past few weeks, she, to all appearances has been better, so that she has been around and up town. On Monday she appeared to be much better than usual and both she and her husband were in the best of spirits, thinking she was on the high road to health.
They retired to bed about eight o'clock, but Mrs. Peoples appeared to be very talkative and in the best of spirits, and it was nearly ten o'clock before she said: "I am getting sleepy and believe I will turn over go to sleep. She turned over on her side and soon commenced to struggle. Her husband at once raised her, but almost in an instant she was dead. She had gone into that sleep that knows no waking. The shock to Mr. Peoples was terrible and his agony can better be imagined than described.
The funeral services took place at the M. E. church, south, on yesterday at three o'clock P. M., the Rev. White officiating. The body was then laid at rest in Miriam cemetery.
Mrs. Peoples' maiden name was Vidie M. Brown. She was the daughter of J. H. Brown of Hamburg, Iowa. What makes it more distressing, Mr. Brown lies at the point of death in Hamburg and the mother is denied the last look at her daughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Peoples were only married on the 18th of last January and death has so soon tore her away. To the bereaved husband and friends, we extend our heartfelt sympathy in this their dark hour of grief. May the Great Comforter be near them.

Lutie was a true Christian, a member of the Baptist church and died as she had lived. The funeral services take place today at 2:30 o'clock, from the Baptist church, Elder Kenney officiating.

DIED July 4th, 1885, at the residence of Col. J. B. Cook, in this city, Mrs. Dorcas Pitts, in her 89th year.
Mrs. Pitts, whose maiden name was Scott, was the mother of Mrs. Cook. She was a native of North Carolina but resided several years at Norfolk, Va. At 17 she married and moved to Vincennes, Ind. and resided during the Indian wars in the west incident to the war with the English in 1812-15, a portion of the time having to remain in a fort. She remembered well the rejoicing over Gen Jackson's victory at New Orleans and the peace which soon after followed. She afterwards resided permanently at Salem, Ind., for about 65 years, outliving her husband, Thomas Pitts and all her children in that locality. Mrs. Cook brought her a little over a year ago to Chetopa. Since residing here, she has made many friends by her genial and cheerful disposition and although in a strange land, her last hours were soothed by all that loving hands of friends and neighbors could do and the ministrations of an affectionate daughter. She passed away with very little suffering after an illness of only two or three days.
It was intended to inter her remains at Salem, Ind., but stoppage of trains, caused by the flood, prevented. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. H. McCreery of the Presbyterian church, assisted by the choir from the same church.

Was 101 Years Old
Isaac Price, Whose Death Occurred Sunday Near Barnard. The Oldest Man Here. He Had Lived on the Same Farm for the Past 45 Years—Funeral Services Tomorrow.
Isaac Price, who was 101 years old last May, died Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock after a few days illness of la grippe at the home of his son, John Price, living near Barnard.
The funeral services will be held at the home of John Price tomorrow at 1 o'clock to be conducted by Rev. Sauceman of Skidmore.
Mr. Price was the oldest person in the county and had lived on the farm near Barnard for forty-five years. He was born May 22, 1814, on Middle Island, Jughandle Mills, near Middlebourne, Tyler county, West Va. He was descended from Welsh parentage of New Jersey stock, who were long-lived people. At 3 years of age, with his parents, he moved to Maryetta, Washington county, O., where he spent his childhood and when he was 17 years old, he moved to Fallston, on Big Beaver river, near Pittsburg, Pa., where as a helper in a shop, he learned the blacksmith trade, which occupation he followed until the spring of 1871, when he retired from active business life. At Fallston he was married to Miss Prudence Gordon, to whom were born four children, none of whom are living. Western Pennsylvania and Ohio were not then not much more than a wilderness. The mode of travel was by slow stages on foot, on horseback, by wagon, over the trails and unkept roads, or by water on the river. After fifteen years he returned to his childhood home in Maryetta, O., where he resided about ten years, working at his trade.
At 42 years of age he moved to Owen county, about fifty miles from Indianapolis, Ind., where his first wife having died, he was married to Miss Mary Ann Linn, to which union were born eight children. In this place he resided about fifteen years, when, with his family, he moved to the farm home in Nodaway county and resided for the last number of years with his son, John Price, the oldest child of his second wife, and the only survivor of the family of twelve children. Mrs. Price died April 11, 1904.
Mr. Price identified himself with the Democratic party in young manhood and cast his first ballot for Andrew Jackson in his second campaign for an election to the presidency. Although he had cast his ballot for each Democratic candidate from Jackson to the present administration, he had never seen a president.

Until coming to Missouri Mr. Price worked at the black smith trade but after coming west he bought a farm which he tilled until age rendered it necessary for him to retire, since which time he has lived with his son, John Price, who is the only survivor of twelve children.

A Deadly Thunderbolt. John Quinlin Instantly Killed.
Our valued correspondent "Sam," of District No. 5, gives us the following account of the sad accident that befell Mr. John Quinlin:
"A sad calamity befell the family of Mr. John Quinlin last Monday morning. He has been building a new house and had it all completed except plastering and on the above morning he took his team and started to the city for the masons and as he was near Mr. F. Conrad's a bolt of lightning struck him square on the head and killed him instantly. It split his head open and tore his clothing into shreds. Part of his clothing and wallet were scattered several yards in different directions. The man working for Mr. Conrad saw the bolt strike. Mr. Quinlin fell forward in the wagon and the team ran for some little distance but was stopped at the first house by a lady. The body of Mr. Quinlin was taken back to Mr. Conrad's and the coroner sent for, who viewed the body and returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. Mr. Quinlin leaves a wife and four small children to mourn his loss. His wife's health is considerably impaired, but the family are in easy circumstances, having a good farm and out of debt. The funeral took place at the residence Tuesday, at 2 P. M., and the body buried in the Catholic cemetery in this city. The community at large deeply sympathize with the bereaved family in this their hour of affliction.
[Note: The last name is spelled Quinlan on his headstone.]
