Oscar I. Baily, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Bailey, born in Monroe township, Nodaway county Mo., Dec. 30th, 1876, died January 20th, 1887, age 10 years and twenty-one days.
Ossie, as he was called, was a stout bright boy. On Wednesday, the day before he died, he attended Miss Oakey Huff's school, close to his home. In the evening as he returned home from school he and his playmates were snow balling in the yard at his home. Mrs. Bailey went out into the yard and he playfully threw a snow [ball] at her, saying this is the last, till the third one. When he said this is the last snow ball I will throw, little did he think it was the last, and he playfully ran to his feeding. In a short time he came into the house and said: "I am cold, my head aches, and my hands and feet are numb," and a heavy chill and soon a raging fever set in. Medical aid was summoned, and all that medical skill and human kindness could do was done. All through the long winter night he struggled with the grim monster, death. In the morning he rallied and talked and knew those around him, but only for a short time and as he neared death he repeated these beautiful lines, audible and clear.
God made my life a little light,
   Within the world to grow.
A little light that burneth bright
   Wherever I may go.

God maketh my life a little flower,
   That giveth joy to all.
Contented to bloom in natures bower,
   Although the place be small.

God makes my life a little song,
   That comforteth the sad,
That helpeth to be strong,
   And makes the singers glad.

God makes my life a little hymn,
   Of tenderness and praise,
With faith that never waxes dim
   In all his wondrous ways.
A short time before he died he commenced these lines –
Down in a green and shady bed,
   A modest violet grew.
His voice failing, he rapidly sank into the cold, cold sleep of death, while all around him were bathed in tears. At ten o'clock and thirty minutes the spirit quit the body and his lifeless form was forever stilled in death forever. Truly in the midst of life we are in death. How solemn the warning. Today we are in health, tomorrow we may be in death. On Saturday at the hour of eleven o'clock his funeral was preached at the Rockford church by Rev. Sapp of the Skidmore charge. All though the day was foggy and dismal, the house was well filled and listened to a fine funeral sermon with almost breathless silence. At the conclusion of the service all passed around to take a last look at him, first the Sunday school scholars and then the entire congregation and lastly, the two little brothers and father and mother.
What a solemn sight to see that loving mother, prostrate over her dead child, saying only let me look at him once more. All eyes were bathed in tears. It has been well said by an eminent physician that a mother's love is the strongest love of earth. The coffin was closed and placed in the hearse and conveyed to Maryville and laid to rest in the Miriam cemetery in the chilly rain, there to rest till the great rising day. Those two little brothers will miss little Ossie. At the school Miss Huff and scholars will miss him. At the Rockford Sunday school, Miss Grace Storch and class will miss him, and at the table and fireside, oh how often and often will his loving parents miss him there. Trust in God, you can go to him but he can never return.  W.

With the Angels.
Oscar I. [rving] Baily, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Baily, departed this life Thursday, January 20th, at 10:30 P. M. aged 10 years and 21 days. "Ossie," the name he went by, was a bright and promising lad. The day before his death he attended Miss Oakey Huffs school near his home. In the evening he returned home from school and engaged in throwing snowballs with several of his schoolmates out in the yard. Mrs. Bailey went out in the yard when he playfully threw a snow ball at her the last time remarking, "this is the last I shall throw," and his words proved true.
After doing his feeding he returned to the house and was soon taken with a chill and raging fever. Medical skill was summoned, but he could not be saved. A few hours before his death he repeated in a clear and audible voice the following lines:
God make my life a little light
   Within the world to grow,
A little flame that burneth bright
   Wherever I may go.
God make my life a little flower
   That giveth joy to all.
Content to bloom in natures bower
   Although its place be small.
God make my life a little song
   That comforteth the sad,
That helpeth others to be strong
   And makes the singer glad.
God make my life a little hymn
   Of tenderness and praise,
Of faith that never waxeth dim
   In all its wonderous ways.
On Saturday at the hour of 11 A. M. his funeral sermon was preached at the Rockford by Rev. Sapp, after which the remains of the loved one were laid to rest in the Miriam cemetery, Maryville, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives.    R.

PLEASANT HILL – Jesse Baird, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Baird, died at the residence of his parents May 28th. He was 15 years old and was loved by all who knew him and was the pride of his parents. Oh, how they will miss his lively and cheerful presence. None can tell but those who have met with a loss like this. He was sick only a week and all that loving hands and medical skill could do was done but death claimed him, and he had to go. About four years ago Jesse experienced religion and joined the Methodist Church and his last days were spent in praising God and exhorting his classmates, neighbors and friends to meet him in heaven. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Blanchard. His remains were laid to rest in Cane's cemetery and followed by one of the largest processions we have seen in Missouri.

DIED – On the 28th day of May 1887, Jesse Baird, of Wesley Chapel, Nodaway county, Missouri.
Jesse Baird was born on the 25th day of March 1872, was converted and joined the M. E. Church at Wesley Church when eleven years of age and was always, until his death, a fine minded and religious boy. His funeral sermon was preached by the writer on Sunday, May 19th, at Wesley Chapel and his remains were followed to the cemetery by a remarkably large concourse of friends and neighbors. Life was just opening to him and it seems a hard blow to fall upon the home circle, but in his death was seen the climax of his life. His last words were of resignation and trust. "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his."  J. L. Blanchard.

Wm. Baker Killed. Missing His Footing He Falls Between the Cars.
The following particulars concerning the death of Wm. Baker, son of Red Baker of Grant township, we clip from the St. Joe News of last Friday:
"About one o'clock this afternoon William Baker, a brakeman in the employ of the C. B. & Q road while attempting to jump from the top of a stationary box car across the track on to the top of a passing train he missed his footing, fell under the wheels and was crushed to death. It seems that Baker was setting the brakes on three cars that had been shoved on the side-track at the freight house in the rear of the C. B. & Q. general offices. Just as he brought his cars to a stop a train of box cars came past on the main track pulled by engine 31. The remainder of the train on which he was working had in the meantime pulled up toward the Union depot and he evidently wished to get on the passing train and ride up to where his own train was. As the cars passed him at the rate of about five miles an hour, he stepped to the edge of the car, hesitated a moment, drew back a little as though he realized the danger and then jumped. He struck on the end of the car, fell between and was carried about a rail's length before striking the track. Eight wheels passed over him and the resistance of his body threw the car off the track. He was mangled and crushed in a horrible manner, there was not a bone in his body that was not broken. The distance he had to jump to reach the top of the moving car was about six feet and if he had not hesitated so long would have undoubtedly made it in safety. The body was picked up and taken to Seideufaden's undertaking shop. About a half hour after the body was removed, a little boy came along with a pasteboard box and began picking up pieces of bone and flesh that had been ground from the body. He filled a 12-inch box about half full.
Baker was from Barnard, Mo., and was unmarried. He had just been sworn in as a deputy sheriff and his commission signed by Sheriff Andriano was dated March 30th."
His remains were buried at Barnard last Saturday.

The unfortunate young man was a son of Red Baker, a well-known and respected citizen living west of Barnard some five or six miles. His uncle, Cana Baker, went for the remains last Friday and they were brought to Barnard for burial. The sad accident has caused unmeasurable sorrow and his parents and relatives have the sympathy of all.

Death of Stephen H. Barnes.
Death has removed another of our best men and best citizens. Last Saturday, January 26, Mr. Barnes was cutting wood at his home in Hughes township and at about half past eleven, A. M., began to feel quite badly. He started to the house and when he arrived at the door fell on his hands and knees. His wife ran to him and asked him what was the matter. He replied that he felt numb and chilly and these were the last words he spoke. From that time everything was done for him that loving and tender hands could do. He lingered till Sunday morning, about seven o'clock, when his spirit winged its flight to the summerland of the hereafter. He died of paralysis.
The funeral services were held Monday at the Mt. Zion M. E. church, of which he had been a member for twenty years, conducted by Rev. Lace. The burial services were conducted by Reynolds Post G. A. R., A. W. Muth, E. C.; S. Zanker, director; and Comrades Markham, Swank, Ruddle, Mitchell, Swighardt and Galbreath being the pall-bearers.
Mr. Barnes was born in Sangamon county, Illinois August 13, 1828. He was united in marriage October 1, 1857, to Annie C. Collins. This union was blessed with twelve children—four of whom are dead.
Mr. Barnes was a truly good man and was highly respected by all who knew him. We learn that he was a school mate with the late Congressman James N. Burnes.

Gone To His Reward. Sudden Death of S. H. Barnes of Hughes Township.
Mr. Stephen H. [artwell] Barnes of Hughes township was stricken with paralysis about half past eleven a. m., Saturday Jan. 26, 1889, and expired at 7 o'clock Sunday morning.
Mr. Barnes was cutting wood and said he felt badly and started for the house. When near the door he fell on his knees; his wife ran to see what was the trouble and he said he was numb all over and immediately fell over in the doorway, never speaking again.
Mr. Barnes was born August 15, 1828, in Illinois and came to Missouri when nine years old. He moved to Nodaway county in 1858 and resided here until his death.
He has had twelve children, eight living and four have gone before him. He leaves a widow with whom he had lived for more than thirty one years, having married Anna Collins in 1857. He served three years in the 35th Regiment, Missouri Vol. from 1862 to 1865.
The writer of this has known Mr. Barnes for more than twenty years, and feels safe in saying that as a neighbor, friend, patriot, or Christian, he had few equals. As an adviser many have found him to have good judgment and sterling integrity. His influence was all for good. In him Christianity, temperance, education and all those things that tend to elevate and better mankind, found a true advocate. He was a great reader, taking more periodicals than any man in the township. His reading matter was of a high quality, that which tends to ennoble and elevate.
Personally I have lost a noble friend, good and true, where can I fill his place?
Looking back I remember the true souls; one by one they have silently left me for the untried shore, until they outnumber those remaining. The road shortens, soon I may greet them and join the procession that continually gives thanks to Him who hath led them to the victory over death.
Mr. Barnes was buried from Mount Zion Methodist church Monday, the 28th, having been a member of that church for twenty eight years. The services were held by Rev. Lace under the directions of Reynolds Post, No. 36, A. W. Muth Commander, S. Zancker acting as director, and Comrades Markham, Swank, Ruddle, Mitchell, Sweighardt and Galbreath acting as pall bearers.
Mr. Barnes was at an early day a schoolmate and playfellow with Hon. Jas. N. Burnes, whom he has so soon followed, having died from the same ailment.

Death of Stephen H. Barnes.
Stephen H. [artwell] Barnes, who died at his home in Hughes township on Sunday 27th inst., was a native of Sangamon county, Illinois, where he was born Aug. 13, 1829. When only 9 years old he moved with his parents to Platte county, in this state, and in 1841 to Nodaway county. In 1851 he crossed the plains to California, making the trip with oxen, where he followed mining for 5 years and in 1856 returned to Illinois via San Francisco, the isthmus of Panama, New Orleans and St. Louis. He remained 2 years in Ill., during which time he was married to Miss Ann C. Collins, a native of Washington county, who survives him; and in 1856 moved again to Nodaway county, Mo., purchased land and settled for the rest of his life.
Possessed of very strong patriotism, when the civil war broke out, he volunteered to go to the front and was in the United States service about 3 years.
He was converted at a camp meeting in Nebraska, in 1860, and ever since that time has been a true and consistent Christian and an honored member of the M. E. church. Bro. Barnes was the father of twelve children. His eldest son the Rev. John W. Barnes is a minister in the church of which his father is a member—four other children had preceded him to the other shore—and the remaining seven were present at the funeral.
Having been one of the old settlers of Nodaway, Mr. Barnes was well known throughout this region and wherever known was respected for his stern integrity and sterling qualities of mind and heart. An immense concourse of people attended him to his last resting place in the Shambarger cemetery, where he was buried with the honors of war, by the members of the Reynolds Post, of the G. A. R. So ends the chapter. Another link with the past is broken, another land mark has been removed, but the pilgrim has reached his goal and his feet have pressed the shining sands. Let us arise and follow him.   John J. Lace.

LAMAR STATION – Again the death angel has come to our neighborhood and on the evening of Sept. 11, 1888, set the wearied spirit of Charles Barratt free, in his 59th year. He was born in England and married his first wife there. In 1850 they came to America and settled in Wisconsin. While there (as they had no children of their own) they adopted two little girls, Janey was nine years old and Nellie a wee babe taken from her mother's dying arms. The father was 84 years old and gave Nellie to them in a written statement. Mr. and Mrs. Barratt loved her as the apple of their eye and reared her as their own. In the spring of 1860 they came to Nodaway county, Mo. The war soon commenced and Mr. Barratt enlisted in Co. C., 4th M S M for three years, but after two years service he was honorably discharged because of sickness. Came home and soon settled on the farm where he so recently died. Mrs. Barratt and the two little girls accompanied him through the war. Mrs. Barratt died in 1884. In 1885 Mr. Barratt married his second wife, an English lady of Kansas City, who is an humble Christian; was a devoted loving wife and tenderly nursed her husband through his long tedious sickness and now sincerely mourns his death. Janey is married to Noble Price and lives in Kansas. Nellie is married to Henry Joy, hardware merchant of Elmo. She has always been an obedient loving daughter to the only parents she ever knew and carefully attended them both to the verge of the grave. Mr. Barratt gave his heart to God in his boyhood days in England and joined the Wesleyan M E church. When he came here he joined the M E church South and for many years he was class leader and trustee of that church. He died perfectly in his right mind; disposed of his fine farm of over 300 acres in a high state of cultivation; a splendid residence nicely furnished; a large drove of hogs; horses and cattle by a will. Settled up all his accounts and prepared to depart in peace. Almost his last words were "If this be death I soon shall be from every pain and sorrow free." To him death was only the curtain that hides that heavenly land from ours. He calmly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. His funeral was largely attended. Rev. Parnell of the South M E church officiated. His remains were laid to rest in the Lamar Station cemetery by the side of those of his departed wife, where he sleeps until the archangel shall stand with one foot upon the land and the other upon the sea, and declare time shall be no more.
--Thomas and George Barratt and Mrs Joe White of Kansas City were in attendance at the funeral of their brother Charles Barratt.

--Levi Barton, one of the old residents of Jackson township, living about a half mile north of Sweet Home, died there last Saturday after an illness of only five days. Mr. Barton was nearly 70 years old at the time of his death.

[BARTON, LEVI]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 10, 1890
The subject of our sketch, Levi Barton, was born in Ohio Oct. 26th, 1822, and departed this life April 5th, 1890, being 67 years, 5 months and 10 days old at the time of his demise. At the age of 44 years he moved to Illinois and resided one year, then to Iowa where he remained about five years, then emigrated to Missouri in 1872 where he has continually lived until his untimely end. He was married to Margarett Ann McWhorter September 26th, 1848, and by this union three children were born, as follows; Hannah Jane, wife of John Allen; Isaac; and Martha O., wife of Fred H. Burns. He united with the M. E. Church while in Ohio about 1854 and lived a consistent Christian for many years; after coming to this state he never united with any church, and was lukewarm in the cause, but nevertheless was a good man, attended to his own affairs and had accumulated considerable of this world's goods. He was our warm personal friend and we knew him well and no better citizen lived with us than he was. He only lived one week after being taken sick. His body was conveyed to the Monroe Church where Rev. C. G. Hill preached a funeral discourse, and the remains were laid to rest in the Monroe Cemetery. Some twenty five vehicles followed the remains to the cemetery and a large concourse of people were in waiting which attested the high esteem in which he was held by the people. He was a loving husband and a kind father and will be sadly missed by the people.    Cooper Gooden.  April 7th, 1890.

A Prominent Pioneer Gone.
Special Telegram to The Gazette.
GRAHAM, Mo., June 25. – Henry F [ranklin] Baublits, one of the old pioneers of Nodaway county, died at his home, three miles east of Graham, yesterday evening and was buried at Graham to-day in the presence of an immense concourse of people. Deceased was one of the most prominent men in this county, having lived here since 1855. He was born in Baltimore county, Maryland, in 1820, and married Mary J Hare in 1845. He leaves four children, M C Baublits, a prominent stock breeder, John C, and Mrs Susan Hardin and Mrs Alice Hardin, married daughters. Deceased leaves a large amount of property.
As the nature of his disease was the subject of some controversy, a post mortem was held by Drs Davis, Rhodes, Barron and Wyman, which established the fact that the disease was a malignant tumor in the small intestines or duodenum.

--Henry F. Baublitts died at his residence in Hughes township the first of this week and was buried at Graham on Monday, June 25, 1888, in the presence of an immense concourse of people. Mr. Baublitts was born in Maryland, June 18, 1820, settling Hughes township, Nodaway county, Mo., in 1854, thus being one of our early settlers. He was one of the most successful and and large farmers of which Nodaway county has so many. He was a faithful member of the Lutheran church. A widow and four children are left to mourn his loss, besides many devoted friends, among whom the Republican was proud to be numbered.

In your last issue you noticed the death of Henry F. Baublits, who died June 25, 1888, aged 68 years and 6 days.
Mr. Baublits and wife have been residents of Hughes township for nearly thirty-five years. They came here in poor circumstances and by industry, economy and good management became among the wealthiest of our farmers.
They always kept the latch string out for friends, whom they welcomed and gave royal entertainment. Uncle Henry was no slave to his business and always had his work in shape to have a good time at all merry makings. Our fairs always found him present and especially of late years, a hearty supporter. His interest in all public improvements was active to the day of his death.
A man of fine business qualities, a clear head and a generous heart toward the truly needy. Pleasant in the company of friends, delighting them with many a quaint shrewd remark and if need be a boy among the boys to help on the enjoyment. Sadly we shall miss him.
He met death without fear, even wishing it might hasten to do its work and relieve him of his pains. He was a great sufferer during the last year of his life and confined to his bed for nearly five months. His ailment was caused by extensive ulcerations of the liver and kidney. A tumor had also formed in the smaller intestines but was not extensive enough to cause but little trouble. He leaves a widow with whom he has lived forty-five years, two sons and two daughters, all of whom live near the old homestead. May the prosperity of the father be and abide with his children.
