[DAKAN, IDA FAY]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 14, 1887
UPPER ELKHORN – Obituary of Ida Fay Dakan, died July 3, 1887, aged 1 year, 5 months, and 28 days. She was born January 7, 1886, and was a twin sister, the other sister living only four days although Ida was the most delicate and required a great amount of care and good nursing. Her last sickness was malarial fever of some ten days. All that medical skill and human kindness could do was done but to no avail. At three o'clock in the morning, July 3rd, the spirit took its flight, and her little form was forever stilled in death and in the shades of the evening her lifeless form was laid in the cold, cold ground. Oh, the sorrow of those loved ones three little lambs have been laid side by side since December 26, 1883. True in God they have gone to that better land where sickness and sorrow never come.   W.

The Last Roll Call. Morgan G. David Called to the Camping Ground Above.
A very sudden death occurred last Friday. Morgan G. David was the sexton of Oak Hill cemetery. He has been in poor health for some time, being troubled with heart disease. Two weeks ago he had a bad spell but recovered. Last Friday, against the protests of his friends, he went to the cemetery to see to the digging of the grave of O. S. Briggs. Mr. Michael Kavanaugh dug the grave for him. Just as the grave was finished, Mr. David went to the gate and shoveled away the snow. Mr. Kavanaugh heard him call to him and noticing that something was wrong, ran to him and caught him just he was sinking to the earth. He spoke to Mr. Kavanaugh and said, "It is all over with me."
Mr. Kavanaugh replied, "No, I hope not, keep up courage." But Mr. David answered, "I am gone" and begged him to tear his clothing from his breast so he could breathe. A Mr. Cox came along at this time and the two rubbed him and worked to bring him to but without avail. So they placed him on Mr. Cox's sled and took him to the house of Mr. Shanks. He was carried in and placed on a bed, but life was extinct.
The deceased was a member of Sedgwick Post G. A. R., he having been a member of Co. D, 3rd Missouri Cavalry. His funeral took place at 2:30 P. M., Sunday at the M. E. church. The Post being out in force to pay the last respect to their dead comrade. He was interred in Miriam cemetery. Mr. David was born in Gasconade county, Sept. 19, 1833, making him a little over 54 years of age. He leaves a wife and eight children. But one of the children, a little girl, was at the funeral. A brother from Imogene, Iowa, attended. Mr. David had a life insurance policy in the Triple Allance. He was a hardworking, honest man and was respected by all. To the wife and afflicted family and friends we extend our sincere sympathy.

BURLINGTON JUNCTION – Died on Tuesday Sept 30, Miss Mary Davidson, of consumption. Her remains were taken to Blanchard, Iowa, for interment. Miss Davidson had been in poor health for some time and went to Indiana for a change, but it seems it did no good, as she came home in a short time, but so weak she had to be carried from the train. Mary was a good girl and will be missed by many.

DIED – At Graham, Mo., Feb. 7th, 1888, Mrs. Eldora Davis, wife of Thos. J.[efferson] Davis, aged 32 years.
Mrs. Davis died very sudden, having passed from seemingly perfect health to the Valley of Shadows after three days of intervening illness, taken, without warning, from those who loved her. So walk we all, knowing only to-day, to-morrow we may have passed from earthly sight, leaving but a ripple on the sea of time. Soon the widening ripple will be lost in its ever widening circle and we are lost apparently from earth forever.
To the thoughtful there can be but one comfort, "Because I live ye shall live also."
Philosophy, reason, sophistry can give us nothing; faith in that simple sentence is our only comfort whilst abiding here. Yet how many would take from us this beautiful hope, giving only blankness in return.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis enjoyed thirteen years of wedded happiness. They have one child to welcome the mother home, two daughters and a son are left with the father, to whom may they be a blessing through the coming years. Mrs. Davis was a member of the Presbyterian church and an untiring worker. Who will fill her place in the Church and Sunday School?

Col. John H. Davis Dead
Col. John H. [ayes] Davis, who formerly resided in the Nodaway Valley, died last Sunday afternoon, at five o'clock, near Vinita, Indian territory. In response to a telegram announcing the death of Col. Davis, his sons, Wm. H. and Jared, left by last Monday evening's train for Vinita and were not certain when they left, whether his body would be brought back to his old home for burial or if he would be buried at Vinita where he had leased land. His children, Thomas, Samuel, Charley and Sarah, were living near their father. We take the following sketch of Mr. Davis' life from the Nodaway County History: John H. Davis was born in Pike county, Ohio in the year 1817. He was raised in Ross county, that state, and remained there till 1860, being engaged in farming. He was a member of the Ohio legislature for two years, having been elected about 1854. Upon coming to his county, he located land now in the corporation of Burlington Junction and was the founder of what is known as the "Ohio Settlement." For more than forty years he was a local minister in the M. E. church. During the war he was a colonel in the state militia and was a member of the constitutional convention of Mo. in 1865. He was married twice. First to Miss Elizabeth Strong, who was born in Jackson county, Ohio, in 1818, and died in 1848. They had four children—Martha J., W. H., J. J. and James. His second marriage occurred in 1848 to Miss Rachel Corken of Ross county, Ohio, who survives him. By this union there were five children—Thomas B., Rebecca, Samuel, Sarah and Charles. Mr. Davis was a good man and much esteemed by all who knew him.
LATER –We are indebted to Ira B. Newlon of Burlington Junction for the information that Col. Davis died suddenly of apoplexy or heart disease. Mr. Newlon also informs us that a telegram had been received from W. H. Davis stating that he would arrive at Burlington Junction with his father's remains on the noon train this Thursday and that the funeral would be the same day.

Col. J. H. Davis Is Called to His Reward Above.
On Monday, Jan. 29th, a telegram was received by W. H. Davis and J. J. Davis of Burlington Junction, announcing the death of their father, Col. John H. [ayes] Davis, near Vinita, Indian territory. Mr. Davis died on the 23rd ult., at five o'clock p. m., of heart disease. His sons at once started for Vinita and on last Thursday arrived with his body and he was laid at rest in the Burlington Junction cemetery.
Memorial services were held in the M. E. church at Burlington Junction on last Sabbath in honor of his memory. Father Sunderland, who has known the deceased intimately for years and was one of his dearest friends, was the principal speaker. He preached a most affecting discourse.
The name of Col. Davis is familiar to every old citizen of Nodaway county. He was born in Pike county, Ohio, in 1816, but was raised in Ross county.
Mrs. Davis was a man of influence and wealth in his old home in Ohio. He was a member of the Ohio State Legislature from 1855 to 1856. Having lost much of his property by unfortunate indorsements for other parties, he sold out in Ohio and coming to this county located a large and beautiful farm on the site where Burlington Junction now stands. He was followed by many of his old neighbors and the settlement became known as the Ohio settlement and was noted for its sobriety, thrift, and intelligence.
Col. Davis soon became known as one of the leading men of the county. The dark days of the war came on soon after his settlement here and by his steadfastness and courage to the Union cause during that time, made some enemies, but more friends. He was commissioned Colonel of the Militia and did his duty fearlessly. At the close of the war he was chosen to represent this district in the constitutional convention and helped form what is known as the Drake constitution. His name was several times prominently mentioned for Congress and he was always regarded as one of the ablest men and safest counsellers in his party.
In 1878 he sold out his farm at Burlington Junction and in 1880 moved to Butler county Kansas. He came back some two or three years ago and located in Lincoln township, but his health being very poor, he rented his farm and last spring started for the west once more. He, with several of his younger children, located near Vinita, Indian Territory, from which place the tidings of his death came.
Mr. Davis was a devoted member of the M. E. church and for forty years, he was one of the local preachers. His home was a home indeed for the traveling minister and his hand was ever stretched forth to help the needy.
Mr. Davis was twice married. First to Miss Elizabeth Strong of Jackson county, Ohio. By her there were four children, Martha, William H., Jordon J. and James. In 1848 he was married to Miss Rachel Corken of Ross county, Ohio. By this marriage there were five children, Thomas B., Rhebecca, Samuel, Sarah and Charles.
In his death, the county has lost one of her best citizens, but his life work has been well done and his influence will long be felt.

[DAVIS, JOHN HAYES]

--The Burlington Junction Post in speaking of the last moments of Col. John H.[ayes] Davis says: "On the day of his death he was enjoying excellent health and appeared in very happy spirits. He had been at home during the day and in the afternoon took a walk to a neighbor's with whom they were very intimate. At the door steps he was met by the children, and he paused a moment to speak to them and give them a greeting smile. The gentleman of the house met him at the threshold and invited him into the room, placing a chair convenient to the open door. Col. Davis stepped into the house and took the chair, bowing to the neighbor's wife as he took his seat. As he spoke and bowed to the lady, she noticed that his head sank to his breast and springing forward she called to her husband that something was the matter with Mr. Davis. They eased him back upon a bed that stood near and found that he was dead."

Another Good Citizen Gone.
Died, January 25th, 1889, after a protracted and severe spell of sickness of some eight weeks duration, at his home, near Gaynor City, Mo., Mr. Joshua Davis, in the 78th year of his age.
Mr. Davis was born on the 31st day of January 1811, in Pike county, Ohio. He was there reared to the age of manhood and remained in that vicinity till 1865, when he emigrated to Iowa and settled in Decatur county. From there he removed, in 1874, to the vicinity of Gaynor City, Mo., and settled on the farm on which he resided at the time of his death. He was married twice; first to Miss Elizabeth Holton. By this union they had eight children, four sons and four daughters. He was next married to Mrs. Mary Jane Woods. By this union they had four children, one son and three daughters.
Mr. Davis was a man possessed of more than ordinary adaptation to the general routine of business in life. He was sagacious, active, firm, compassionate and most unrelenting for the truth, honesty, justice and equity to all, to the individual, the neighborhood and the country at large as well. He was also a man of ardent piety. Having experienced a change of heart, as he confidently and sincerely believed, more than forty years ago, he, like Job, maintained his integrity and uprightness before God and man to the close of his life. Thus passed away a good citizen, a child of God, a kind and tender parent, a faithful and affectionate husband.

GRAHAM --DIED, March 13, Addie, youngest son of Mrs. Ruth Decker, after a short but painful illness. All was done that human hands could do to alleviate his suffering, but disease baffled the skill of physicians. Death, the destroying angel, laid his icy hands upon him and claimed him for his own. Addie was an unusually bright and promising little boy and will be sadly missed by the family and his little school-mates who were greatly attached to him. A short service was held at the house after which his remains were borne away to the family cemetery on White Cloud and laid to rest. To the sorrowing friends we extend our heartfelt sympathy and may they be enabled by the eyes of Faith to look to the land beyond where parting never comes. May they cast their burdens on Him who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me," and may they all at last be permitted to meet the loved ones gone before, in that house not made with hands eternal in the heaven.

She was born in the state of New York and came west with her parents to this neighborhood when quite a young girl and has lived here ever since, where she had a host of friends who deeply mourn her loss. She was married to J [ames] T[hompson] Denning in October 1881. She leaves a little boy 2 years old who with the bereaved husband, parents and brothers have the heart felt sympathy of this entire community. The funeral services were conducted at the house on Thursday morning at 10 o'clock by Rev. Grimes after which the remains were followed by friends and relatives to their last resting place in the Maryville cemetery.
"How in a moment she was called,
    Eternity to view;
No time to arrange her affairs,
    Nor bid her friends adieu."

An Old Settler Dead.
James Thompson Denning Gathered to His Fathers.
The subject of this notice died at Excelsior Springs early on last Saturday morning. He went to that place some months ago in the hope of health improvement and while he did receive some benefit in a general way, the disease known as progressive paralysis had him in its deathly embrace and there was no escape from its fiat.
About the first of November 1895, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and from that time up to his death, he was gradually going down.
He was born in Monroe county, this state, June 20, 1839. He came to this county in 1847 with his parents. His father, William Denning, entered the land, eight miles south of Maryville, which was the home of the deceased for many years. He spent about nine years in California when a young man.
His parents died a number of years ago. He leaves two brothers: David, who resides in this city, and Hiram, who resides in Oregon. He leaves three sisters: Mrs. O. S. Briggs, Mrs. S. W. Briggs, of Maryville and Mrs. W. G. Turner, of Arkoe.
He married Miss Ella Briggs, October 4, 1881. They have one son, Leland, now aged about twelve years. His wife died several years ago. The funeral services were held Monday at the M. E. Church, South, conducted by Rev. S. P. Cresap, the pastor, who preached an impressive discourse, the salient thoughts being an answer to the question to whom shall we go, when these troubles and afflictions come upon us and enforcing the great truth that "Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come."
The burial was under the auspices of Maryville lodge, No. 165, A. F. & A. M., James H. Perry, W. M. Maryville Commandery, under command of Eminent Sir I. V. McMillan, turned out as an escort to Maryville Lodge. At the cemetery, the imposing Masonic burial ceremonies were conducted by Nat. Sisson, assisted by P. L. Hooker, as chaplain.
The active pall-bearers were L. Miller, Ed. McMillan, James W. Storm, Thos. W. Blackman, M. G. Tate and Mark Heflin. The honorary pall-bearers were Charles Ballenger, Elihu Jones, Joseph Jackson, James B. Robinson, George L. Wilfley and George S. Baker.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies at the grave, Rev. Cresap pronounced the benediction; and the dear departed was left in the quiet repose of the tomb by the side of the grave of his beloved wife, who died several years ago.
J. T. Denning was an honorable and upright man. He managed his business affairs with great ability and leaves an estate variously estimated at from $60,000 to $75,000, every cent of which, no one doubts, he made honestly, by hard work and good management. He was a good citizen, a kind husband, and a devoted father. He had friends in all who knew him and no enemies. What more, after a man is gone, can be said of him that is more worthy of being placed on perpetual record in the hearts and minds of all who knew him? A noble man has been gathered to his fathers.

"Thomps" Denning Dead.
Well Known Citizen Passed Away at Excelsior Springs Saturday.
James Thompson Denning, one of the most prominent and well known citizens of Nodaway county, died at Excelsior Springs last Saturday. His remains were brought to Maryville and the funeral occurred at the M. E. church South, Monday and was conducted by the pastor, Rev. S. P. Cresap.
Mr. Denning lived in Nodaway county practically all his life, having been brought here in 1844, when he was an infant. Since that time he has lived on the place south of town which was his residence at the time of his death. He was a man of great business capacity and amassed a considerable fortune, estimated at not less than [?]. Besides a large amount of personal property, he owned 700 acres of Nodaway county land. He was related by blood and marriage to many of the leading families of the county and city.
Mr. Denning's wife died several years ago and he leaves only a son, Leland, who is ten years old. His will leaves all his property to his son and names Nathaniel Sisson of this city, who was his life long friend, and who has for seven years transacted a large part of his business, as his executor and the boy's guardian.

Died at Excelsior Springs, on Saturday, October 16, 1897, at 1:30 a. m., of progressive paralysis, James T. Denning, aged 58 years, 3 months and 26 days.
James Thompson Denning was born in Monroe county, Mo., June 20, 1839. In 1847 he moved to Nodaway county where he grew up and lived his entire life, except 9 years he spent in California.
He was married to Ella Briggs, October 4, 1881. She died several years ago, leaving one child, a boy now about 14 years old, the only survivor.
Mr. Denning was a good farmer and stock raiser, spending his entire life in looking after such interests. Indeed it is thought that he neglected himself in looking after his material affairs.
About two years ago he was stricken with paralysis, since which time he had been an invalid. He went to Excelsior Spring some weeks ago in hopes of deriving benefit there, but to no avail.
His body was brought to Maryville Sunday and taken to the home of his brother, David. Monday afternoon the funeral services were held at the M. E. church, South, conducted by Rev. S. P. Cresap, after which the remains were laid away in Oak Hill cemetery.
The Masonic order, of which Mr. Denning was a long time member, had charge of the funeral. The active pall bearers were L. Miller, Ed McMillan, James W. Storm, Thos. W. Blackman, M. G. Tate and Mark Heflin. The honorary pall bearers were Charles Ballinger, Elihu Jones, Joseph Jackson, Geo. S. Baker, Geo. L. Wiley and James B. Robinson.
By his will, which was probated this week, Mr. Denning left an estate amounting in real and personal property, to about $50,000, all to his boy. Nat Sisson was appointed executor and guardian of the boy, by the will.

Mrs. Margaret Deschauer died at St. Francis Hospital Tuesday afternoon of heart disease, aged sixty-nine.
Mrs. Deschauer was born in Agr, Austria July, 1835. She came to American in 1857 and married soon after. With her husband, the late Sebastian A. Deschauer, she settled in Maryville in 1877, and Mr. Deschauer went into the jewelry business.

Mrs. Deschauer Dead.
Has Lived In Maryville Twenty-five Years—Funeral Services at 9 o'clock Friday Morning.
One of the best examples of parental and filial affection in Maryville was brought to an end Tuesday afternoon by the death of Mrs. Margaret Deschauer. For nineteen years Mrs. Deschauer and her son, Rudolph, have been together on the northwest corner of Fillmore and Halasey streets.
Mrs. Deschauer has been in poor health for three or four years. Since the death of her daughter in 1892, Mrs. J. B. Kildow, of this city, she has not taken her old time interest in life and her body weakened by age succumbed to an attack of the grip which finally developed into pneumonia.
Mrs. Deschauer would have been seventy years old had she lived until next July and has spent all her life except the first twenty-two years of it, in this county.
She was born in Eger, Austria, in 1834, her maiden name being Miss Margaret Fox. She came with her father to Chicago when she was 22 years old. The same year, 1856, she was married to S. O. Deschauer.
Her husband was a native of Eger, Austria, and had come to this country on the same ship with her. Her father returned to his native country within a few years after his arrival and left the newly married couple to themselves.
They lived in Chicago about twenty-two years, during which time her husband was engaged in the jewelry business. During the time Mrs. Deschauer did not learn to speak English as she was surrounded by German neighbors. She could, however, read English with accuracy and ease.
In 1877 Mrs. Deschauer came to Maryville, her husband having preceeded her by ten months. During this time she had remained in Chicago with two of her children.
Eight years after coming to Missouri her husband died and was buried in the St. Mary's cemetery. Since that time Mrs. Deschauer has lived with her son, Rudolph, on South Fillmore street.
Her son, Frederick, a dentist, of Chicago, died in January 1900, and her daughter, Mrs. J. B. Kildow, died in 1892. A little girl had also died in Chicago, before coming to Missouri. The death of all of her children, except Rudolph, had been seen by her before her own death.
Mrs. Deschauer was one of a family of thirteen, ten boys and three girls. She has relatives all over the world—from the United States to Australia.
The body of Mrs. Deschauer can be viewed at the family residence from 2 to 5 o'clock this afternoon. The casket will not be opened at the church.
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock Friday morning at St. Mary's church. The services will be conducted by Rev. Fr. Anselm.
The body will be interred at the side of her husband in St. Mary's cemetery.

--Mrs. F. [rancis] W. [hiting] Diggs, of Glasgow, Mo., died Monday at Louisville, Kentucky, under an operation for the removal of a tumor. She was a sister of Mrs. Russel O'Neal of this city.

[DIGGES, LEILA SHOUSE]
Central Missourian (Glasgow, Missouri), Thursday, September 25, 1890
The death of Mrs. Leila Digges, wife of Mr. F. [rancis] W. [hiting] H. [arrison] Digges of this city, which occurred Monday, the 22d inst., at Louisville, Ky., has cast its gloom over our city and filled with deepest sorrow one of our most estimable homes. On Monday week, Mrs. Digges, accompanied by her son, Frank, left for Louisville, Ky., to receive special medical treatment. It was believed that this treatment was successful and her family and friends were cheered with the hope of her recovery, when suddenly the sad telegram came announcing her death.
Thus, in the prime of life, one who was universally beloved for her admirable qualities as a woman and a Christian, has been taken from our midst. An affectionate husband has been called to pass through the keenest sorrow of life and her two devoted children, Frank and Edna, are bereft of the most precious of earthly gifts—a mother's love and a mother's care. But they sorrow not as those who have no hope. Mrs. Digges was a Christian—true to life and triumphant in death.
Born in Danville, Ky., November 11, 1846, at the early age of fourteen she made the confession of her faith in Christ and united with the Christian Church at Harrodsburg, Ky. For thirty years her life has been steadfast and faithful and adorned with the graces and virtues of the divine religion she professed. Her home has been a Christian home, beautified and sweetened by her wifely affection and mother love. Such a life could not but end in triumph. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." She has entered into rest. She leaves to her loved ones for their emulation and encouragement the priceless example of a life nobly planned and nobly lived and the precious hope, through Christ, of a reunion in that Better Land "where there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away."
The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church, this city, conducted by Revs. Carr W. Pritchett and L. W. Welsh; after which the large concourse of sorrowing and sympathizing friends attended the funeral procession to our quiet "city of the dead," where all that is mortal of the departed was laid away in its last earthly resting place.  . . .

--The following relatives from a distance attended the funeral of Mrs. F. W. H. Digges on last Tuesday: Mrs. Mary Henry and Mrs. Ann Stone, Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. Oneal, Maryville, Mo., and T. G. Digges and wife, of Brunswick, Mo.

The Mexican War Veteran Dies at Richmond, Mo.—His Eventful Life.
RICHMOND, Mo., Aug. 9. – General A. W. Doniphan, of Mexican war fame, died last night at his apartments at the Hudgins House, aged eighty years. Funeral services will be held at Liberty, Mo., Thursday, at ten a. m. General A. [lexander] W. [illiam] Doniphan was born in Mason County, Ky., July 9, 1808. His ancestors in both the paternal and maternal lines were of English extraction. His father and mother were natives of Virginia, his father being a Revolutionary soldier. He graduated at Augusta College, Kentucky, at the age of eighteen years. He studied law in the office of Martin P. Marshall of Kentucky. After a period of two years he was licensed to practice law by the Supreme Court of Ohio. In March 1830 he came to Missouri and was licensed to practice law by the Supreme Court at Fayette in the succeeding month. On the 19th of April 1830 he settled at Lexington, Mo. and began his long, successful and brilliant forensic career. At the age of twenty-three, without experience, he was placed in collision with Abel Leonard, Robert W. Wells, Peyton R. Hayden and others, gentlemen eminent for ability and legal attainments, and his maiden speech at the bar was made in 1830 in defense of a man indicted for murder. His conduct in this trial was modest and gave evidence of the dawning of that reputation as a criminal lawyer which he afterwards attained.
In 1832 he removed to Liberty, Mo., where he made his home for the succeeding thirty years. His experience at Lexington had been preparatory. At Liberty his reputation attained its zenith. In 1835, 1849, 1854 he represented Clay County in the Legislature without opposition. He was a member of the peace conference in 1864. In 1846 occurred the war with Mexico and in May 1846 he was elected Colonel of the first regiment of Missouri mounted volunteers. The laurels won by Colonel Doniphan and his men during the Mexican war are among the brightest that grace the American arms and the memory of them will be enduring as time itself.
In varied circumstances in life Colonel Doniphan has exerted a great influence. In parliamentary bodies he has done this mainly through social impress and social contact. He was fascinating in conversation, and his society was sought wherever he went. He was married in 1837 to Miss Jane Thornton of Clay County. Two boys were born to them, one of whom drowned in West Virginia. The other took poison by mistake and died at Richmond, Mo., where General Doniphan removed in 1867.

DIED: At his room in the Benkelman House, Tuesday noon, Sept. 10, 1890, Richard M. Dooley, aged 26 years.
Richard M. [aurice] Dooley was born at Maryville, Mo., in 1864 and graduated from the Missouri State University, in both the general and law departments with high honors, and three years ago he was admitted to the bar at Maryville, having passed an exemplary examination which the judge eulogized in commendable terms and with much praise.
He was until recently occupying a prominent position in the Paymaster's office of the government printing office at Washington, but three months ago he went to Colorado on a visit and came to Benkelman some three weeks since intending to make this his future home, having land interests here. He was accompanied here by his mother and two sisters. Two weeks ago his health began failing and he was compelled to take to his bed from which he never arose. His disease, consumption of the brain, having taken its death hold upon him and fate and the Almighty ruled that death must be final. He was a patient sufferer during his sickness and unconscious when Death claimed his soul.
Richard M. Dooley was a young man of great intellect, ambitious and persevering, and was a constant mental worker who never despaired. He was very successful in all his undertakings and was a great favorite among his acquaintances, who will be pained to learn of his untimely death.
Young, vivacious and ambitious, a useful and intelligent citizen has been cut down in the prime of life, and his place cannot be readily filled.
All the family were present at the time of his death, his father and brother having arrived Saturday and constant attendants at his bedside, giving every attention in detail and summoning medical aid, but no power was sufficient to change the summons which called him with a determination.
The remains were prepared for burial and Wednesday morning were shipped to Maryville, Mo., for interment, where the last sad ritual services were enacted the following day.

Richard M. Dooley's Funeral.
In last week's Democrat we mentioned the death of Richard M. Dooley, which occurred at Benkleman, Nebraska, September 10, 1890, of brain fever, after an illness of some twelve days. He was born at Memphis, Tennessee, April 26, 1864. He was the eldest son of Sylvester V. Dooley and wife. Richard was a noble young man and was very popular. He was the idol of his parents and his death is a heavy blow to them. He was a young man of much more than ordinary talent, was well versed in the law and had he lived would have made his mark in that profession. Under the Cleveland administration he held a position in the Government Print House at Washington. He and his mother and sisters went out to Colorado some two months ago and on their way back went to Benkleman, Nebraska, near which place he and his father had landed interests, when he was taken ill which resulted in his death.
The funeral services took place at St. Patrick's Church last Sunday forenoon, which was densely crowded—in fact many could not get in. This attested better than words can the esteem in which he was held. After mass Father Anselm preached an eloquent sermon, portraying the many noble qualities of the deceased young man. The tender, sincere words of the pious priest were a source of consolation to the parents and friends. After the sermon and the last look had been taken, the body was consigned to the tomb.

Richard M. Dooley died at Benkleman, Nebraska, Wednesday, September 10, 1890, of brain fever, after an illness of only twelve days.
He was the eldest son of Captain and Mrs. Sylvester V. Dooley and was born at Memphis, Tennessee, April 26, 1864. When about six years old he removed with his parents to Maryville, which has since that time been his home. He was educated here, taking a law course at the State University at Columbia. About four years ago he went to Benkelman where he took a land claim and after proving up he went to Washington, D. C., when he filled a clerkship for a while.
He then remain for a while with his family, but las spring he concluded to establish himself in business in Benkelman, where he remained until his untimely death. His parents and family were at his bedside at the last but their loving care could not affect the result and his last breath was taken in his mother's arms.
The remains were brought home last Thursday and on Sunday, September 14, the funeral obsequies were held at St. Patrick's Catholic church, conducted by Father Anselm, of St. Mary's church, in the absence of Father Pembroke, after which all that was mortal of Richard M. Dooley was laid away in the Catholic cemetery. The sympathies of all are with the bereaved parents and brother and sister in their deep affliction.

MT. AYR. – Wm. Douglas was born in Kentucky, January 16, 1831, died last Saturday, December 29, and was buried on New Year's day in the Oak Hill cemetery. His funeral service was conducted by Rev. Avey, his pastor. It was a very large funeral. Brother Douglas has been poorly for the last year; was not able to be with us of late in our meetings. His last words were "I feel like shouting." Brother Douglas has been a faithful Christian for 34 years. His Christian influence will still live; for him to live was Christ and to die was gain. He has gone home and our class will miss him, for he was a loving husband and father, and the community will miss him for he was highly respected. May we all prove faithful to the end and strike glad hands with Brother Douglas on the other shore. May the God of Peace comfort the family in this their sore bereavement. They have our heartfelt sympathy.

The angel of death has again been in our midst, this time selecting as his victim one of Nodaway's old and most respected citizens in the person of Mr Wm S Douglas. Mr Douglas had been suffering for two years from bronchitis, during which time he failed rapidly, although he was able to get about until five or six months ago when he became so much worse that he was confined to the house; since that time he has failed fast.
All that human skill could invent; all that kind and loving hands could do seemed of no avail and on the night of Saturday, Dec 29, he fell asleep in the arms of a loving Savior, and his soul released from suffering and unrest, soared to the land of Everlasting life and light for which he had been so long prepared.
Mr Douglas was born near Mt Sterling, Ky, from whence he went with his parents, while quite small, to Ill., where he spent most of his boyhood and youth, from thence he moved to Clayton, Adams county, Ills., where he married Miss Emma McMurry January 16, 1855. From thence the moved in 1869 to Nodaway county, Mo., where he has since resided. A kind father and husband, an upright citizen, a firm friend and a devoted Christian. He had been a consistent member of the M E church for thirty-five years, having joined this branch in his twenty-second year.
On the morning preceding his death his wife was sitting by his bedside, he noticed her weeping and asked, "Why do you weep? I want you to sing." She asked, "What do you want us to sing?" he said, "Jesus, lover of my soul and Rock of Ages." The friends and neighbors assembled and sang as desired and while they were singing his face lit up with heavenly joy and he shook hands with all his children bidding them farewell and telling them to meet him in Heaven. He lingered until midnight when he passed quietly away.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev Avey, the large concourse of friends and neighbors attending showed the high esteem in which deceased was held. Mr Douglas leaves a wife and six children, all of whom are grown but one. May the God in whom he trusted be their comfort and stay in this sad hour—
     Rock of Ages cleft for me
     Let me hide myself in Thee.

[DOWELL, MARY ANN GOFF]

Died, March 12, 1888, at Hopkins, Mo., Mrs. Dowell of heart disease, wife of T.[homas] F.[ranklin] Dowell of Allison, Mo. She walked to church a mile and a half on Sabbath and the next day went with Mr. Dowell to Hopkins to do some trading. As she was assisted from the spring wagon to the ground she fell and never spoke afterward. She was taken to the Brainard house and medical aid summoned but to no avail. She had not been feeling well for some time, but that morning she expressed herself as feeling better than common.
Mr. Dowell had her brought home in the hearse and the next day at 2 o'clock the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Wood of Maryville, in the New Hope Baptist church, of which she was a consistent member. The discourse was "Consolation to the Believer," which was appropriately discussed. This earth is not our abiding place for we have a city, not built with hands, eternal in the heavens.
The occasion was an impressive one and all sympathized with the stricken family in their great loss. We can think of no greater trial than for a husband to go to town accompanied by his wife and to bring her home in a coffin. Nor the sad feelings of the children, who had so recently said "goodbye," as was their custom, to look upon the lifeless form of an affectionate mother. Mrs. Dowell lived for her children and Oh! how sadly will she be missed. Who can fill the place of a mother? She was a practical Christian and was prepared to cross the dark river though she did not hear its flood. There is consolation in the words, "I go to prepare a place for you that, where I am, ye may be also." [Poem not transcribed.]
