[MACKEY, JAMES]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, December 26, 1889
The Clarinda Herald says that on Sunday morning, December 15, Denny Meade found the very near lifeless body of James Macky lying on the south end of the "Q" platform and after summoning assistance he was removed to the "Traveller's Home," where every attention was given to him but he expired in about two hours. From all the information that can be gained it seems that the deceased got on a "Q" stock extra at Burlington Junction, with the intention of stealing a ride to this place. the train did not stop here and it is supposed that in jumping off the train his clothes caught on the car and threw him under the wheels, cutting off his right limb below the knee and the left limb above the knee, besides cutting a deep gash in his head about three inches long and otherwise injuring him internally, which of itself would have been enough to cause death.

Life's Fitful Fever Over. Death of Augustus F. Malott, after a Lingering Illness.
Augustus F Malott, of this city, departed this life Tuesday, August 7, 1888, at four p m, after a two-month's sickness of dropsy. From the "Nodaway County History" we learn that he was born in Miami county, Ohio, January 29, 1844.

In 1861, at the breaking out of the war, he enlisted in company I, Twelfth Indiana regiment, serving seven and a half months. After obtaining a discharge from that regiment, he re-enlisted in company I, 101st Indiana Volunteers, and served till the close of the war, having participated in the battles of Crab Orchard, Chickamauga, siege of Atlanta, and marched with Sherman to the sea. At the close of the war he returned home and in 1866 moved to Pontiac, Illinois. He followed blacksmithing there for six years. He then moved to Bloomington, Illinois, and was engaged at his trade there till 1878, at which time he emigrated to Hopkins, Mo., and after one and a half years located in Maryville. He was married January 24, 1878, to Miss Ida Genoway, who survives him. They had no children.
The funeral services were held at the Baptist church at the request of the deceased, 4 p m Wednesday, the sermon being preached by Rev T M S Kenney, from the words; "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? "The sermon was able and full of consolation.

His widow will get $5,000 insurance from the A O U W.

[MANLEY, HARRISON]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, August 11, 1887
LAMAR STATION – On the same day [August 4th] the Death Angel came to the residence of Harrison Manley and set his tired, suffering soul free. He was a soldier in the Union army in the late war, was discharged sick, was never really a healthy man since, but the immediate cause of his death was flux. He was born in Ohio but at an early age was brought by his parents to this part of Nodaway county, has lived here ever since, was identified with the oldest inhabitants. His first wife was Mary Porter, of Quitman. They had six children. She and two children preceded him to the grave several years ago. Then he married Mrs. Maloney. She survives him. He leaves three daughters and one son by his first wife, none by his second. He was one of E. M. Wallace's earliest converts, joined the Baptist church and died in the triumph of a living faith, in the fifty-third year of his age. On the 5th of August, in a beautiful Sugar Maple Grove, which had been set out by his own hands, on the north side of his home, his funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Cooper, Baptist minister of Dawson. The sermon was an excellent one and the funeral services of the Odd Fellows, who were out in full force, were beautiful and impressive. Harrison Manley was an honored member of that order. The remains were followed to Lamar Station cemetery by one of the largest funeral corteges ever in this part of the county. Truly a good man has fallen and the hearts of many are sad today.

LAMAR STATION – Uriah, aged seventeen; son of Richard Manly, died last Saturday night at the home of his father in Manley Grove. Most all his short life he was a great sufferer from a disease of the spine. The immediate cause of his death was hemorrhage of the lungs. His remains were laid in the Lamar cemetery by the side of his mother, who died when he was almost an infant. Poor boy in all his suffering he never knew a mother's tender loving care. His father loved him dearly; spent lots of money and had him well taken care of, but there is no love like a mother's love. Rev. West officiated at the funeral.

Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, September 18, 1890
Lewis J. Mann – Died, at his residence in Jefferson Township, Thursday, September 11, 1890, Lewis J. [ohn] Mann. Mr. Mann was born in Virginia, in February 1828, and was consequently in his 63d year. He with his family moved to Buchanan county, Mo., about twenty-three years ago, where he abided one year. He then came to the immediate neighborhood of his present home where he has resided ever since. It is no exaggeration to state of Mr. Mann that in his death his family have lost a devoted, indulgent and faithful husband and father; the vicinity an accommodating neighbor; his friends one who was ever kind and true; and his country a firm patriot. He was a man of superior education and intelligence, of fine address, an entertaining conversationalist, always affable, social and genial; an accomplished, high-minded gentleman of purest principles, stubborn integrity and unsullied reputation. Although for many years he held positions of trust and responsibility in his township neither his ability in business affairs nor his purity of purpose was ever questioned. His friends were as numerous as his acquaintances, and both were many.
He leaves a widow and three children, the latter of whom are: Mrs. L. C. Smith, Oscar and Crews, all of whom have attained their majority and are in good circumstances. His remains were interred last Friday in that beautiful ground called Swinford cemetery. P. J.

Called Home. Death of Rachel Martin, at the age of Seventy-Seven Years.
DIED, Sunday evening, November 13th, 1887, at seven o'clock, at the home of her youngest son, John M. Martin, at Ada, Minnesota, Rachel Martin, aged seventy-seven years, of general debility.
The subject of this notice was born in New Lisbon, Columbiana county, Ohio, in the year 1810, where she was united in marriage to Warrick Martin in the year 1837. From this union seven boys were born—four of whom are dead and three living. Those living are James, the oldest of the family, George W., of Maryville, the third in order of age, and John M., the youngest. Mrs. Martin was a sister of Mrs. Sarah Cock, wife of Wm. Cock, who lived in Nodaway county between the years 1848 and 1852 and emigrated to the State of Oregon. Her husband, Warrick Martin, died in Washington City three years ago, since which time she has been living with her son, John M., at Ada, Minnesota. She had been in feeble health for some years.
The end was joyous and tranquil, befitting such a noble life. Death to her was simply falling to sleep in the arms of Him who said? "I am the resurrection and the life," and when her spirit was lingering only for a moment on the shore of the mystic river, what rapturous delight was hers. "How precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints."
The writer personally knew this sainted woman. In 1876 he had the pleasure of enjoying frequent conversations with her while she was visiting her son George in this city. He well remembers the humanitarian and Christian views which she held on all questions that affect the human race. She believed that Christianity presents the true philosophy of life—giving contentment of mind and peace within that this world cannot give nor take away. Hers was a cultured mind. She possessed a vast fund of general information and could discourse readily and with clearness and force on the absorbing questions of the day. It was her delight, also, to talk of the higher and better life. The writer remembers that she frequently mentioned to him that she had buried four sons. When alluding to this, she would say that death does not sever the chord of love and that one day she would join her boys on the immortal shore. Yes, blessed woman, that day has come and what a glorious day for thee. If only thou couldst come in spirit and tell loved ones on earth of that meeting with husband and sons on the other side, what a wonderful revelation it would be! how joyous the story! But she was not partial in her affections to her children that had been called to the better land. Her sons then living and now living, were loved by her with a mother's strongest and most intense affection. What happiness it gave her to know that her boys were leading honorable, upright and useful lives. True mother that she was, she lived for her children. And what a precious legacy she left them!
Sons of a sainted mother, keep her dear in your memory. May you always have in mind—
"There's a green, sunny isle in the depths of
My soul
Whose roses the winds never strew,
And the billows and breezes around it that
roll
Bring tidings of Heaven and you." James Todd.

At Rest.
Mary E. [lizabeth] McFarland, wife of E. D. McFarland, died at her home in this city, Feb. 21st, 1888. She was born in Washington county, Ohio, July 28th, 1837, her maiden name was Reynolds and she was the daughter of Geo. and Mary Reynolds, and at seven years of age she moved with her parents to Wood county, West Virginia, on the Ohio river and lived there until she was married to Edward D. McFarland Oct. 26th, 1859. After marriage they lived at St. Maries, Pleasants county, West Virginia, where their union was blessed with one child, eldest daughter who is now the wife of Rev John K Taylor, a Methodist minister of McKees Port, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania. They moved to Newtown, Green county, Pennsylvania, the birth place of her husband and the home of his parents where they were blessed with two more children, a boy and a girl, the eldest a boy who is yet at home. The daughter is married to Albert Claxton of Washington D. C. and they are employed in the government printing office. The family lived in Green county, Pennsylvania, until Jan 1867 when they moved to Loda City, Iroquois county, Illinois, they were there blessed with another boy and in the year 1869 they moved to Fair Bury City, Livingston county, Illinois, where another girl was born to them; they then moved in the year 1871 to Knoxville, Marion county, Iowa, where two more children were born to them, a boy and a girl; the children are all living and five are at home yet. And in Aug 1877 they moved to Ringold county, Iowa, and lived there until the year 1880, then moved to Nodaway county, Missouri, and settled in Maryville, where they have lived to the present time. She was converted when about fourteen years of age and united with the Methodist Episcopal church from which she had never been disconnected only in being in a different state, but had become some what careless and negligent of her Christian duty, but after being afflicted for months and being confined to her room the master was pleased to visit her and through the kindness and aid of his blessed saints she was again embraced by the dear Savior she once loved so dearly and she was enabled to rejoice and sing praises to God in her great affliction and exhort other members of the family to become Christians. She had been received into the Methodist Episcopal church of this city only a short time before her death and in her last moments she would call the husband and the children to her bedside and request them to be good and live pure lives and to the friends that stood near when the chilly hand of death was fastening its grasp upon her she would exclaim God is with me. It is glorious, beautiful, beautiful and then she passed to her reward. [Poem not transcribed.]

Death of Mr. R. B. McKee.
Mr. McKee departed this life Friday morning, October 3d, 1890. He was walking down the street to his home, when he was stricken with paralysis and fell, giving but one or two short breaths and then expired.
The sad news was carried to the stricken family. It was a heart-rending scene to see the wife and children mourning over their loved one, who a few minutes before had been apparently in perfect health.
Mr. McKee was born in Knox county, Ohio, in 1820, being 70 years old at the time of his demise. He was married in Ohio in 1852. Moved to Missouri in 1883 where he has since resided.
He leaves a wife and seven children: Mrs. Shaw of Howard, Ohio; Mrs. Hedges, living in this city; a married son in St. Joseph; and three children at home with their mother.
The funeral services were held at the family residence Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Mr. Hicks. A large procession followed the remains to Oak Hill cemetery.
The sympathy of all goes out to the afflicted family. We are reminded by this sad and sudden taking away of life, that even in the midst of life we are in death.
"As for man his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it and it is gone and the place thereof shall know it no more."

Death's Victim. C. S. McMackin Gathered to His Fathers.
On Monday last, a telegram was received in this city conveying the sad intelligence that C. C. McMackin was dead. The news was a shocking surprise to his many friends in this city, who had seen him but a few short weeks ago, the very picture of vigorous manhood. He left his home in Burlington Junction some time this spring on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. J. A. Jester, at Kingston, Colo., and to take a general view of the western country. He was taken ill very suddenly with gravel and succumbed to the disease in five days, his death occurring on the 19th at Republican City, Neb. When he was taken down, he telegraphed his beloved wife and son, Frank, to come to him. They left as soon as possible and arrived at his bedside two days before he died and had the consolation of relieving the sufferings of his last moments by their untiring devotion. Death is an unwelcome visitor at any time, but when he comes so suddenly and strikes down vigorous manhood at one fell swoop, the blow to those near and dear, is almost unbearable.
Caleb S. McMackin was born January 16, 1829, in Hamilton county, Ohio. He came west about twenty years ago and located in Iowa county, Iowa, where he remained one year, after which he moved to Nebraska City, where he also staid about one year. He moved to Nodaway county about eighteen years ago and has been a resident ever since. His wife and five children survive him. The children's names are: J. W., Mrs. J. A. Jester, of Lansing, Colorado; Frank S., Charlie and Birdie. The remains were brought to Maryville Tuesday and interred in Miriam cemetery, the funeral being conducted from their late residence on the corner of Buchanan and Second street, by Elder Kenney. Mr. McMackin was a good citizen, a loving husband, and kind and indulgent parent. May the God of the fatherless comfort the afflicted family.

Caleb Seward McMacken was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, January 16th, 1829. He came to Iowa about twenty years ago and located in Iowa county. He remained there about a year when he moved to Nebraska City, where he remained about a year, and then came to Nodaway county, about eighteen years ago. He lived for years in this city, but he and family moved to Burlington Junction about a year ago. His wife survives him and five children, in the order of their age, as follows. J W, Mrs J A Jester, Frank S, Charles and Birdie. He has two brothers, George, who lives in Oregon and whom he had not seen in thirty-five years; and J D, who lives at Bedford, Iowa. He had two sisters but they are both dead—one of them having died at his home about a year ago. Mr McMacken was a man of great energy and good business qualities and leaves a large estate.
His remains reached here Tuesday by the noon train, the funeral services taking place at his former home, now occupied by George F Woodworth, at four o'clock on that day, conducted by Elder T M S Kenney. His remains were interred in Miriam cemetery. The following were the pall bearers: John Edwards, S W Briggs, Howard McCommon, George W Snapp, Henry Toel and Geo S Baker.
His death is deeply lamented and his family have the sympathy of all in their affliction. Mr McMacken was a generous, warm-hearted man, kind to the poor. His religion was of a humanitarian character. He will be much missed by his family and the community.

-- Thomas McMichael's body was brought to Burlington Junction last Friday and buried there. He was raised in the west part of Nodaway county and is well known to the people that section. He left Dawson about three months ago for Dixon, Pulaski county, where he had remained until he was killed. On Saturday, April 27, a party who pretended to be a deputy sheriff came to where he was in the country and arrested him but on what charge could not be ascertained. He accompanied the pretended officer, the two starting in the direction of Dixon. This was the last seen of him until Tuesday when his dead body was found [words missing] of timber a short distance from Dixon. It is supposed he was murdered for money, as he always had considerable money on his person. The deceased was a brother of Mrs. Riley Manley.

In Memoriam. Sketch of the Late Mrs. Mary Ann McMillan.
(The following memorial sketch of the late Mrs. McMillan was given by Rev. E. J. Groeneveld at the services, held at 4 p.m. last Friday, immediately after which her son, Rev. Dr. D. J. McMillan, left with the body for Carlinville, Ill., where the family have had their permanent home for the past thirty years:)
Mary Ann, daughter of Duncan and Margaret Brown, was born in Giles county, Tenn., March 25, 1812. Her education was more the result of her own efforts (aided by an older brother, who shared her intense desire for knowledge) than of any training she received in the schools of that early day. In 1834 she became a missionary to the Cherokee Indians, then in Alabama. With them she labored with zeal and success until 1836, when she was married to the late Edward McMillan. She was left a widow by the death of her husband (while he was serving as chaplain of the 32d Ill.) in August 1864. (Two of her brothers - Neill S. Brown, in 1848, and John C. Brown, in 1870 - were Governors of Tennessee. The former was also Minister to Russia under Taylor's administration, and both held other important positions in the country. -- Ed. N. N.-W.)
Mrs. McMillan was the mother of seven sons and three daughters. Six of these reached maturity, four of whom survive her. Besides these, she brought up four others and did a mother's part to them. She was a helper to many an indigent student, and with her husband aided and sheltered, and fed, and clothed worthy young men, who have since been useful in the various professions and vocations of life. She will ever be remembered as a Sabbath school worker and a friend to the poor. Her home was in Illinois from 1856 until 1875, when she spent part of her time in Missouri with Edward McMillan, Esq., the oldest son now living, and in Utah with her three sons, Henry G., now and for ten years past Deputy Clerk of the Third District Court, and Joseph S. and Rev. Duncan McMillan, who were engaged in the mission work. In Central and Southern Utah many an eye will moisten at the news of her death, for she was a teacher and a guide, and a comforter to the young and the old, and especially the down-trodden and broken-hearted women of that mission field. Her health began to fail in 1877, soon after breaking up her home, and her decline has been gradual through these years till her life reached its peaceful and triumphant termination at a few minutes past five o'clock Thursday afternoon, April 28. She was a helper to the needy, a friend to the worthy and every worthy object. She had made her home in Deer Lodge for about two years. All who knew her during these last years of her life will remember her peaceful, patient face, and her gentle and winning ways. To many who knew her best, it has often seemed that for her was destined more than the ordinary share of pain and disappointment. Her life was full of work and well-doing until the wearied and worn body refused to do the bidding of her aspiring soul; and at the close of life nothing gave her greater disappointment than that she could not, as formerly, keep her place in the front rank of those whose pleasure it is to glorify God and benefit humanity. For half a year past she has not known the privileges of God's house, where, in all her life, the sweetest moments of communion with her Redeemer were enjoyed. But though this separation from God's earthly courts was a severe trial in the loneliness of her sufferings, she was often granted visions of the future and views of the past that enabled her cheerfully and trustfully to say that all was well and that she was satisfied. She was all her life a member of the Redeemer's church on earth. She rejoiced in her triumphs, worked with zeal for her success, and mourned her reverses. She is gone. We thank God for her life, her faith, her zeal, her end. Peace to her ashes. We know she is fully satisfied now. Now she knows that all things work together for good to those that love God

He emigrated from Ohio to Hancock county, Illinois, in 1849 and resided there until 1882 when he removed to Nodaway county, Missouri and has resided here continuously since until his death. His was a very active business career until the last few years he was compelled, owning to his age, to give up active business life.
He was first married to Margaret S. [trickland] Evans in 1854, who preceeded him to the grave about 10 years. Of this union eight children were born, seven of whom are still living, one having died in infancy. Those living are Mrs. J. L. Heller, of Hartford, Kansas; Mrs. W. W. Glass, of Bedison, Missouri; J. E. McMillen, Hopkins, Missouri; Mrs. J. M. Lionberger, of Bentonville, Arkansas; C. G. McMillen, Pickering, Missouri; Mrs. J. C. Ince, Montrose, Missouri; and J. O. McMillen, Pickering, Missouri.

Mr. McMillen had been a member of the Christian church more than 30 years and lived a life in keeping with his profession. He belonged to the Masonic fraternity for over 30 years and at time of his death was a member of Nodaway Lodge No. 470, Maryville.
He lived a life worthy of emulation and possessed a character remarkable in many respects and always above reproach, having never turned a deaf ear to appeals of the worthy distressed, always abounding in good deeds. Although he met with many reverses during his eventful life, was never known to complain at the decrees of fate and laid down this life's burden with mind resigned and passed peacefully to his reward.

MCNEAL, near Graham, Nodaway county, Mo., Sister Margaret McNeal, wife of James G. McNeal, died Jan. 25, 1890, aged 72 years, 8 months and 19 days. Her maiden name was Margaret Shore. She was born May 6, 1817, in Huntingdon county, Penn. She was married to James G. McNeal Jan. 9, 1849, united with the church of God Jan. 1859, she lived a faithful and consistent Christian until her death. She immigrated to Nodaway county, Mo., with her husband in the year of 1890 where she lived a true, kind and devoted wife and a loving, affectionate mother. She made many friends by her wise council and devoted life. She leaves an aged husband and 9 children—8 boys and one girl—to mourn her loss. Thus another home is blighted—no mother to welcome us there thus we will be made to exclaim: What is home without a mother!"
On the 9th of January, 1890, being the 50th anniversary of Father and Mother McNeal, the children all gathered home and enjoyed the day pleasantly together, not expecting to be called home so soon to witness the death of a dear mother, who has now gone to swell the number of the family of the Heavenly Father.
Our prayer is that the aged companion and the children may so live that in that great day of eternity they may be found all together with family around the throne in Heaven. [Poem not transcribed.]
