Her maiden name was Rosanna Fay and was born and reared in Washington county, Wisconsin.

He death, although not expected, nevertheless proves a shock to her husband. She left four children, two boys and two girls, the eldest being ten years of age and the youngest five. Her age was about thirty-six years.
The funeral service took place at the Catholic church on the forenoon of Friday and the edifice was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends. Upon the handsome rosewood coffin which contained the remains was placed a beautiful floral cross, laid there by loving hands. A mass for the dead was celebrated by Rev Father Waldron, at the conclusion of which he preached an earnest sermon, taking for his text the words of St Paul, "I have fought the good fight, I have run my course, I have kept the faith." Many wept during the delivery of his pathetic words in paying a just tribute to the dead. The remains were interred in the church-yard cemetery.

Called Home.
After a long, useful and pleasant life, Mrs. Elizabeth Leffler has passed in peace to the peaceful beyond. The telegram brought to us Tuesday morning, her farewell message. She died at her residence near Montrose in Lee county, at 10 o'clock in the morning of that day. For some time she had been in ill health, --so ill that she and those who knew her condition were merely waiting for the end. It came in peace and beauty at last; and she changed worlds.
Mrs. Leffler was born in Virginia fifty seven years ago. In the old time when Iowa was a wilderness, she came here with her parents. The modest merit of her personal character made Elizabeth Parrott the favorite in the best society of that old time. She married Hon. Shepherd Leffler and lived with him many years of quiet domestic happiness. The good name which she had acquired in her youth followed her through all  her life and grew brighter and brighter as it grew nearer to the light of the world to come.
In accordance with her request to be taken immediately from the care to her grave, her funeral will take place at the depot on the arrival of the Keokuk train at seven o'clock this evening. The shades of evening will close over a life that, unto the last hour, has been constant in good works.

A. N. Leiby, 75, Died Sunday
Prominent Farmer, Now Retired, Passed Away From Heart Trouble.
Came To This County In 1885. Funeral Services Were Preached from the House Tuesday and Burial was in Maryville in Charge of the Modern Woodman
A. N. Leiby, 75 years old, an early settler and prominent farmer, died at his home in Barnard Sunday evening following an illness of over two years duration, the last few days of which confined him to his bed.
Mr. Leiby was well liked by every one. He was an outstanding character in the community and his passing will be missed.
The following obituary was prepared by Rev. J. Howard Thompson who preached the funeral discourse:
Alfred Nathan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Leiby, was born in Leavitsburg [Leavittsburg], Trumble County, Ohio, February 14, 1854, and died at his home in Barnard, Missouri, August 25, 1929, aged 75 years, 6 months, and 11 days.
At ten years of age he came with his parent to Illinois where he grew to a splendid young manhood. At 26 years of age he was married to Miss Katy Noble, on November 28, 1880, and to this union were born two children, one son and one daughter. The son is Daniel W. Leiby of Ottawa, Kans., and the daughter, Margarette L., now Mrs. Geo. Smith, of Freeport, Illinois. After his marriage in Illinois, he, with his young wife, came to Nodaway County and Barnard, Missouri, in the spring of 1885 and settled on the farm north of town which is still the family home.
Five years after coming to Missouri his wife passed away on March 29, 1889. He was again married to Melissa Durst, February 27, 1890, and to this union were born four children, three daughters and one son. The daughters are Dora M., now Mrs. Claude Wohlford of Barnard; Mary E., now Mrs. Mary E. Swearingen, of Topeka, Kansas; and Lura L., now Mrs. Jesse Everhart, of Arko, Mo.; and the son Leroy, at home. All of the six children attended the funeral services.
His fraternal relationship consisted of membership in the Woodmen of the World, The Modern Woodman of America, the Fraternal Aid Society, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, all of Barnard. He was a German Lutheran by faith and was baptized in that faith when a child.
Brother Leiby will be greatly missed. He was greatly admired for his sterling worth. Honor, integrity, congeniality, sympathy and devotion to high ideals were the dominant qualities of his character.
For more than two years he had been in declining health, fighting a losing battle, until Sunday, August 25. He was not here for the Lord had taken him. He leaves to mourn his death, aside from his loved ones above spoken of, 16 grand children, two great grand children, one brother, Charles Leiby, of Lena, Illinois, and one sister, Mrs. Emma Dorst, of Freeport, Illinois, besides a host of other relatives and friends.
It can well be said of him as of one of old: For tomorrow is the new moon and thou shalt be missed for thy seat will be empty.
Funeral services were conducted from the home in Barnard Tuesday afternoon by the Rev. J. Howard Thompson, a former pastor of the Methodist Church of Barnard, but now of Hopkins, Missouri, after which the body was taken to Maryville for interment.

Obituary – Katie Noble Leiby
Katie Noble was born in Racine, Wis., June 11, 1863. In 1866 her parents removed to Waddam's Grove, Illinois. Here Katie grew to young womanhood, bearing an irreproaching [irreproachable] character and was highly respected by all her knew her. On the 28th of November 1880, she was married to Alfred Leiby of Waddams Grove, to whom she was an ever faithful and affectionate wife. Four years later she removed with her husband and little son to Barnard, Nodaway county, Missouri, where the little family circle was soon widened and gladdened by the advent of a little daughter, [Ida Leiby]. All was prosperity and health for a time but fell consumption had marked the loving wife and mother for its victim. Last August she was compelled to bid farewell to new friends and home in Missouri and return to the home of her youth where she waited patiently in greatest suffering until March the 6th, when the death angel came and found her robed for the eternal mansions. At the time of her death she was a member on probation of the M. E. church, which relation she exchanged for a place in the church triumphant. She was laid to rest in the new cemetery at Waddam's Grove. W. R. Wilkinson of the M. E. church of Warren officiated.

Died, August 28, 1890, at 5:30 A. M., William Leitchleiter, of typhoid fever, aged 17 years, 7 months and 23 days. After six weeks of severe suffering he was released from the pains of earth to enter upon the joys of Heaven. Willie was a very quiet and harmless young man, as all know who were acquainted with him. He was in the bloom of youth and bid fair to live many years. He was not a member of the church but was an attentive Sunday scholar; like many others, no doubt, he thought there was time enough yet. About two weeks after he was taken sick he said to his mother: "I will never be found on a sick bed again in this condition"—meaning without salvation—showing that he was concerned as to the future. But this is not all the consolation we have. The fatal fever raged on; he bore it patiently and murmured not. When it was apparent to all that Willie was dying the father and mother, with breaking hearts, lingered near their dying boy, hoping to hear a word that would prove to them that all was well with him. The desire of their hearts was granted. Just before he died, he revived, and a friend sitting near said: "Will, trust in the Lord; He will receive you." Turning to the friend he said: "I am trusting in Him;" and in a short time with a smile on his face, passed quietly away, leaving a father, mother, sister and two brothers to mourn his loss. Their loss is Willie's gain.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. D. G. Jackson to a large concourse of people, who came to pay the last tribute of respect to one of their number.  H. Gillam.

-- During the storm of Monday night lightning struck a farmer named Hyatt Lindsay, living east of Bolckow, instantly killing him. He leaves a widow and five children.

[LINDSAY, JOHN HIATT]
Maryville Tribune (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 17, 1890
-- A man named Lindsay, who resided 4 miles N. E. of Bolckow was struck with lightning and instantly killed while driving his team and wagon, Monday evening.

Killed by Lightning
John Hyatt Lindsay Instantly Killed by Lightning Monday Night and Theodore Miller Badly Stunned.
On Monday last Mr. John Hyatt Lindsay of Benton township this county was assisting his neighbor, Mr. Theodore Miller, at threshing. Between 8 and 9 o'clock, while the storm was raging, he and Mr. Miller started with a load of wheat in sacks, it being the last one, to take it to an outhouse on the farm of John M. Fernean, where Mr. Miller was storing it.
Mr. Lindsay was in the front part of the wagon driving and Mr. Miller was sitting in the rear part of the wagon with his legs hanging over the end gate, and when near the residence of Wm. Cawood there was a brilliant flash of lightning and a long peal of thunder. The lightning struck Mr. Lindsay in the head and passed down his back and between his right hip and knee and then into a sack of wheat, killing him it is supposed instantly. The same stroke stunned Mr. Miller and he did not know where he was for a short time.
When he partially recovered consciousness, he noticed that the horses were still going along as if nothing had happened. Being still in a dazed condition he got out of the back part of the wagon and went to the horses and turned them into Mr. Cawood's feed lot. The storm was very severe at the time and it was very dark between the flashes of lightning.
Mr. Miller took the horses from the wagon and then crawled into an out-building near by. Shortly after he was there Mr. Cawood returned home, took the saddle from his horse and threw it into the building and as he did so, it fell on Mr. Miller, who spoke. Mr. Cawood recognizing his voice asked him what he was doing there, when Mr. Miller informed him that he was bewildered and didn't really know what had happened, but that he thought that Lindsay who was in the wagon was severely hurt. Cawood went at once to the wagon and found Lindsay lying on his back and as he supposed dead.
After he examined Lindsay's body he returned to where he had left Mr. Miller and found that he had gotten up and left. He then saddled his horse and went and notified the neighbors. Miller in a dazed condition had gone home and as yet has not completely recovered.
When the neighbors arrived and Mr. L's body was carefully examined the conclusion was reached that he was killed instantly. His remains were then taken to his home and buried Wednesday at the Platte Chapel Baptist church, Rev. J. S. S. Wood officiating. His funeral was one of the largest that ever took place in that section.
Mr. Lindsay is a son of J. J. Lindsay, and leaves a wife and four children, the youngest being about two years old.

[LOCK, ALBERT]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 10, 1890
Died Sunday, July 6, 1890, Albert Lock. The deceased was born in Nodaway county, Mo. Was married to Miss Eva Shelton, July 4, 1887.
Of this union they received one child. One year ago last spring the Master called the little one home to himself. In little more than one year the mother followed her babe. Eight days after the mother and wife's death the father and husband was called home to meet those who had gone before. Seldom it is that we see a whole family blotted out in so short a time. Seldom does it fall to the lot of a minister to say the last words "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" over all of one family in a little more than one year, yet it has been the writer's sad experience. Mr. Lock was converted under the ministry of Rev. H. C. Bolen of the M E church South in the month of August 1886. He united with the M E church at that time and has been a Christian member of the same until he was called home. We had the privilege of visiting the brother often in his last sickness. We always found him willing and ready to go. When asked last by the writer if it was well with his soul, he replied, "He is able." He died trusting in Christ, the Lord, knowing that he was able to save to the utmost, all who will come unto him. The funeral service was held in the M E church at Pickering, July 7, by the pastor in charge.
May the blessed Savior comfort the sorrowing father and mother and while we cannot always see why he should deal thus and so with us, May they remember that Jesus said, "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter."    J K H.

[LOCK, EVA SHELTON]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 3, 1890
Died, June 28, 1890, Mrs. Eva Lock of consumption. Eva was a great sufferer in her last illness, but she bore up with true Christian fortitude, never doubting her Savior's power to save, and that "He doeth all things well."
Her husband was lying at the point of death when she died, having been a consumptive for a number of years, and it was a sad sight to see husband and wife both lying at the point of death and yet unable to render the least service to each other.
Mrs. Lock was converted in the winter of 1884 and united with the Baptist Church of which she has been a faithful member.
The funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Pickering by the pastor of that place. A large concourse of sympathizing friends followed the remains to its last resting place. May God comfort the afflicted and bereaved husband and relatives of the deceased and may they remember that their loss is her eternal gain.   J. K. H.

[LOVETT, DON]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, March 15, 1888
Gone Home. Death of Don Lovett.
Little Don, son of Mrs. Sarah P. Lovett, was born Jan. 22, 1879. Died of hip disease, March 11, 1888.
In April 1884 he slipped and fell, hurting his hip. Nothing serious was anticipated at the time. A few months after that his mother noticed that he did not move that limb right but thought in all probability that he was suffering with rheumatism. In the fall of 1885 he started to school and went 2 or 3 weeks but had to quit on account of his hip. He was at once placed under the care of the physician but grew worse, and in August 1886 he took his bed and was never able to leave it, only when assisted by others. Everything that medical skill and good nursing could do for his recovery was done but of no avail. He gradually grew worse until God took him home.
Little Don had strong faith in God. He believed God heard and answered prayer. In May 1887 he called his Aunt Hattie to his bed side and asked her to call the family in. He then asked them to pray for him for he said, "I think it will do me good." After his mother and aunt had prayed, he also prayed. Then raising up on his elbow, he sang "Nearer my God to Thee," and said, "I am so happy, don't weep for me.
He was a great sufferer, none but God knows how he suffered in the last 18 months of his life, but he never murmured. He was one of the most patient sufferers it was ever our privilege to visit. He took great comfort in the thought that "God had something better for him in the future." Once when lost in thought, his aunt asked him what he was thinking about, to which he replied, "I was just thinking of my beautiful home in heaven, it is all I think about." A few days before his death as a hymn was sung and the home beyond mentioned he nodded his head, so weak he could not speak; and last Sabbath at 6 o'clock p m God's chariot drawn by steeds of fire unseen by weeping friends, drove up to little Don's bedside and his pure and spotless soul stepped aboard and was taken up to that beautiful home to dwell with God and his angels forever.
On Monday at 10 a m all that was mortal of this sweet child was taken to the Main St M E Church and appropriate services were held by Rev Cox and then followed by weeping friends to the Cane cemetery and laid to rest by the side of his father, to await the Resurrection morn.

The funeral services were held at the First M. E. church Tuesday at 10 o'clock, conducted by Revs. Cox and Bolen. His remains were laid to rest in Cain cemetery, seven miles west of Maryville.

[LYLE, NANCY HUTCHINSON]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, October 31, 1889
Gone Home.
Mrs. Nancy Lyle, nee Hutchinson, died at her home in Nodaway county, Missouri, Oct. 21, 1889, at the age of 64 years. She leaves a husband, 7 sons and one daughter to mourn her loss, two daughters having preceeded her to that better world.
Deceased was born in Luney township, Londonderry county, Ireland. In 1851 she joined the Presbyterian church and remained a faithful and consistent member until her death. She was married June 15, 1847, to Hugh Lyle. In the latter part of September they bade farewell to home, father, mother, sisters and brothers, and sailed for America, landing in New York Nov. 11, 1847. From there they moved to Lehigh, Pennsylvania, residing there until 1851. From there they moved to Adams county, Illinois, where they resided until 1869, when they moved with their family to Nodaway county, Missouri, their present home.
She took great interest in her family and home and had many friends and no enemies. Possessed of a charity that was divine because it was born of God, she covered the faults and failings of others with the gentle mantle of mercy and always found something good to say of every one. It is true ambition held a high place in her heart, but it was the ambition to be good and to follow the precepts and example of her crucified Redeemer.
She was an affectionate and sympathetic companion and a true helpmate. All that money could purchase and loving hearts and hands could do was done by her loving husband with untiring patience, unwilling to say nothing more could be done, took her to Burlington Springs hoping there that she might receive some benefit but all to no avail. On Monday of last week she was thought to be much better but it was only a delusion. On the following Monday she was brought home and while the dear husband and children watched by her dying bed and saw the much loved wife and mother without a moan or a struggle drop the curtain of life and pass into that sun bright clime where the weary are at rest. She will be sorely missed; mother is gone, mother the helpful, the sympathetic, the loving, but the world is made forever the richer by another life lived of higher endeavor in harmony with the holy aspirations that beat in the bosom of the angels. She is not dead but sleepeth, for she trusted in him who said, "I am the resurrection and the life, he that believeth in Me though he be dead yet shall he live and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die."
The funeral was held Wednesday, Oct. 23, 1889, by Rev. Gerhard of Maryville, at the Presbyterian church in Graham after which the remains were laid to rest in the Graham cemetery by the side of her daughter and little grandson.  Jennie E. Lyle.

OAK HILL -- A large crowd of people gathered at the Oak Hill church last Sabbath, the 30th ult., to attend the funeral of Mother Lynch, wife of Uncle Thomas Lynch. It was one of the most heart-rending funerals we ever attended. She is gone, but our loss is her gain. An obituary will appear next week.

[LYNCH, ELIZABETH MERCER]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 10, 1890
Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch, wife of Thomas Lynch, died March 28, 1890, of typhoid fever at the residence of Dr. Neff eighteen miles east of Maryville, Mo.
Mrs. Lynch and her husband left home Thursday, March 20, feeling as well as usual and anticipating a pleasant visit with Dr. Margarette Neff who has for many years been an intimate friend of their family and at one time made her home with them.
Their visit was unusually pleasant until Friday night when Mrs. Lynch was taken violently ill and symptoms from the first indicated fatal results. By careful medical attention the temperature lowered and respiration improved. Only a few hours before death the heart's action began to fail and the inevitable results were before our eyes. All medical skill, faithful nursing and sympathies of family and friends were powerless. Friday morning, March 28, at half past eight, she cheerfully, prayerfully and willingly passed away.
Her maiden name was Elizabeth Mercer. She was of French and English descent; was born in Monticello, Wayne Co., Ky., June 16, 1826. Was married to Thomas Lynch of the same county, Jan. 7, 1847. They came to Missouri May 6, 1850, located in Savannah, Andrew county. March 10, 1851, they moved to Nodaway county, three miles east of Maryville, their present home.
Mrs. Lynch was 63 years, 9 months and 12 days and leaves a husband and ten children who deeply mourn her loss. The youngest child has passed his twenty first birthday. All the children were at the funeral but two daughters, who failed to get here in time. She was a devoted wife, a loving Christian mother and a faithful friend.
The hearse and family carriages left Dr. Neff's residence Sabbath morning to meet the many relatives and friends, who were assembled for the funeral services at 2 p. m. in the church, built on the ground donated by her and her husband for Oak Hill church and Oak Hill cemetery where she was buried.
The funeral services were ably and touchingly conducted by Rev. D. G. Jackson, pastor of the Methodist Protestant church, of which she was a devoted member. She was converted at the early age of sixteen and the one continued effort of her life was to be a true and worthy Christian.
She will be missed not only by the family circle, but the entire community realize that they have lost a noble and a sympathetic Christian friend, who was ever ready to do all in her power to cheer and comfort the sick and afflicted.
Many and varied are the trials of this life for it is a strange mingling of joy and sorrow and when death comes it is hard to say "Thy will be done,"
   But God moves in a mysterious way,
       His wonders to perform."
       Blind unbelief will always err,
   And scan his works in vain;
      God is his own interpreter
   And He will make it plain.
May our Allwise Father in his tender mercy bless the afflicted family. Earth has no sorrow which Heaven can not heal. Mother is gone—never again on earth can they look on her face, hear her voice, or feel the clasp of her hand, but let us hope they may form an unbroken family circle in Heaven where there are no more sad partings.  [Poem not transcribed.]

[LYNCH, ELIZABETH MERCER]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, April 10, 1890
DIED, March 28, 1890, Elizabeth Lynch, at the residence of Dr. Neff in Gentry county, Mo. She was born in Wayne county, Kentucky, June 16, 1826. Her maiden name was Mercer. Was converted at the age of sixteen and united with the Missionary Baptist Church. Moved from Wayne county, Kentucky, to Savanna, Mo., in 1850. From there to their old home four miles east of Maryville, in 1851, where she lived until her death. Elizabeth Mercer and Thomas Lynch were married January 7, 1847, and very soon started for the frontier and together endured the hardships of frontier life in Missouri. Together they watched the light and shadows, as one would brighten and the other darken their hopes for the future. Together they were permitted to see their children grow into manhood and womanhood. But there are no mutual ties so strong that cannot be broken. Sister Lynch has gone from her family across the dark river. May they all be prepared to meet her on the pearl-stranded beach of heaven.
Some years ago a Methodist Protestant Church was organized near her home, of which she became a member. Truly devoted to the service of God, ready at all times to do good, we will miss her but not forget her. May the memories of her life prove a benediction to the family.   D. G. Jackson.
