[MONTGOMERY, GEORGE K.]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, May 17, 1888
George K. Montgomery, an old citizen of Andrew county, who lived one mile south of the Nodaway county line, died last Saturday morning of paralysis of the bowels, aged 63 years. He lived at the place he died since 1857 and was known all over Platte purchase as a wide awake enterprising citizen. He was the owner of about thirteen hundred acres of land in Andrew and Nodaway counties when he died. When all merchandise and travel came by his house from St Joe to Maryville and the upper country, and it was impossible almost for one to find a place to get a meal or a night's lodging between Savannah and Maryville, no stranger was ever turned away from his humble home whether rich or poor, with money or without. He was an exemplary Christian, being a member of the M. E. church nearly all his life. When the Methodist church at Maryville was being built, he donated $200 and a like sum for the Methodist school at Fillmore, Mo. and was one of the largest contributors for the Bolckow church. He was followed to his last resting place on Monday by a very large concourse of relatives and friends, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. Edmonds. A loving wife, eleven children and a host of friends and relatives are left to mourn his loss.

[MOREHEAD, NAPOLEON "NIP"]

NAPOLEON MOREHEAD, Death of a Former Officer of Adams County in Wichita, Kansas.
A telegram was received in this city late Monday night announcing the death in Wichita, Kansas, of Napoleon Morehead, formally a resident of Quincy. The deceased was born in Kenton county, Kentucky, forty-three years ago, and came to Quincy with his parents, Daniel and Cornelia Morehead, in 1862. Late in the sixties his brother, John W. Morehead, was elected circuit clerk of Adams county and died during the first term. Napoleon was appointed to fill his place until the next regular election, and at the election was chosen to serve the remaining two years. The deceased was a model of neatness, and no more polite man ever occupied the office. When he went out of office he purchased an interest in the Eagle Packet company and for some five years was clerk of the Spread Eagle, running between St. Louis and Grafton. He sold out his interest in the company and went to California. He went to Wichita about the commencement of the real estate boom and made his home there until his death. He was troubled with catarrh and on the 7th of January last was attacked with la grippe. This developed into pneumonia and caused his death. The deceased was twice married, his second wife at Wichita surviving him. He has two sons, one by his first wife, and the second, about 2 years old, in Wichita. His father, Daniel died a few years ago. His mother is alive and resides in this city. He has two brothers-- Thomas M. Morehead, justice of the peace, in this city, and Breck Morehead, of St. Louis. Also the following sisters: Mrs. D.B. Cook, of Mendon; Mrs. Belle Smith, of St. Joseph, Mo.; Mrs. Charles T. Reynolds, of Quincy, and Miss Ella Morehead, of this city. Breck Morehead, the brother, left St. Louis yesterday morning for Wichita, and Justice Morehead expected to leave last night. Up to a late hour it could not be ascertained whether the remains brought to this city or buried there. "Nip", as he was familiarly called, had many friends in this city, especially those who knew him fifteen and twenty years ago, and his death of 43 will bring sadness to many hearts.

[MOREHEAD, NAPOLEON "NIP"]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, May 8, 1890
In Memoriam.
Our readers will be interested in the following obituary notice from the Daily Eagle of Wichita, Kansas, as the subject, Mr. N. [apoleon] Morehead was the late husband of Allie Fitch, formerly of Maryville.
The death of the late Mr. N. Morehead was particularly sad, being taken in the prime of manhood after suffering intensely for thirteen weeks. A short time since he completed a beautiful residence in the east part of the city but death entered the door and all is sorrow where a few short months before all was joy and happiness. Mr. Morehead leaves a wife and one child to whom he was very much devoted. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and had many warm friends who extend their deepest sympathy to the sorrowing wife and little one and regret that He who "doeth all things well" saw fit to take one so truly noble from our midst. May the promise that although "he shall not return to them, they shall go to him," comfort them. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."

[MORTON, J. P.]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, January16, 1890
--The St. Joseph Gazette says: J V Norton [Morton], a freight brakeman on the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City railway, left home Monday night on his usual run north and Monday started to return. When the train arrived at Conception, sixty miles north of this city, some switching had to be done and he stepped on the pilot to assist. As the engine moved forward to make a push switch he stooped to pick up the push bar. His foot slipped and he fell forward. The engine passed over his body and bruised and mangled him to such an extent that he died a few moments later. A telegram was at once sent to this city and a kind-hearted call boy carried it to the residence of Norton's wife at the number designated. She was nearly prostrated at the suddenness of the blow, and her little children, while they did not fully appreciate the situation, added to her woe by their pitiful cries. The remains were brought to this city Wednesday. The parents of the dead man reside at Bedford, Iowa.

[MORTON, J. P.]
St. Joseph Daily News (St. Joseph, Missouri), Wednesday, January 15, 1890

Morton was on the track in front of the engine preparing to couple it on to a box car and as he stooped to pick up the draw bar his foot slipped and the engine passed over his body. His remains were brought to St. Joseph and interred at Mount Mora Cemetery. He leaves a wife and two children.

[MOSES, HEZEKIAH INGHAM]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, January 16, 1896
Died Thursday, January 9, 1896, at his home in Maryville, H. I. Moses, aged 78 years, 4 months and 20 days.
Hezekiah Ingham Moses was born in Delaware, Ohio, August 19, 1817. He learned the carpenters trade while young and followed it as an avocation all his life.
On December 13, 1846, he was married to Mary Ann Boyd at West Milton, Ohio. To this union were given seven children, five of whom have preceded their father to the future world. Two are left, with the devoted wife, to mourn the loss of a loving husband and parent.
In 1858 the family moved to St. Joseph where Mr. Moses worked on many of the important buildings that were built for the next fifteen years. In 1874 they removed to Maryville, which has ever since been their home.
Several years ago Mr. Moses was severely wrenched while getting off a railroad train at Dawson, since which time he had not been very stout. He preserved his interest in affairs though up to a very short time before his death.
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon, January 11, at the residence of his son in law, A. M. Howendobler, conducted by Rev. Dr. G. L. Haight, pastor of the M. E. church, of which deceased had long an attendant, although he had been a member of the Lutheran church since boyhood. The remains were then laid away in Mirian cemetery to await the final trumpet.
Mr. Moses was of a very quiet lovable nature and will be sadly missed. The mourning friends however have that blessed hope, which is itself a wonderful sustainer. They have the sympathies of all.

[MOSES, HEZEKIAH INGHAM]
Maryville Tribune (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, January 16, 1896
H. I. Moses – Hezekiah Iregham [Ingham] Moses, whose death occurred on last Thursday just as The Tribune went to press, was born in Deleware [Delaware], Ohio, Aug. 19, 1817, and was therefore in his 89th year. In 1846 at West Milton, Ohio, he was married to Mary Ann Boyd, the noble, devoted and generous-hearted wife who still survives him. To the union of this couple seven children were born, five of whom have preceded him to the other side. In 1858 the family moved to St. Joseph, residing there until 1874, since which time Maryville has been their home. Mr. Moses for some years followed the business of contractor and builder, but recently his extreme age and feebleness of body have rendered a quiet and inactive life imperative. He was a member of the M. E. church, a Christian, kindly man, and his memory will be tenderly cherished by all who knew him.

Death of H. I. Moses
Mr. H. I. Moses departed this life Thursday afternoon, January 9, 1896, at the residence of his son-in-law, A. M. Howendobler, in this city, from old age and a general giving way of the physical powers more than from any distinctive disease.
Hezekiah Ingham Moses was born August 19, 1817, at Delaware, Ohio, and at the time of his decease was in his 79th year. In 1846 he was married at West Milton, Ohio, to Mary Ann Boyd. To this union were born seven children—five of whom preceeded him to the other shore. His wife, Miss Nannie and her brother, who lives in Chicago, are the only members of the family now living.
In 1858, Mr. Moses and family moved to St. Joseph, where they continued to reside until 1874. He was a carpenter by trade and worked on some of the finest buildings in that city. In 1874, he and family moved to Maryville and have resided here since.
The funeral services were held at the residence of Mr. Howendobler on Saturday, January 11, 1896, conducted by Rev. George L. Haight, pastor of the M. E. Church, after which the body was conveyed to Miriam cemetery where the burial took place. The following were the pall-bearers: John Herron, Ira K. Alderman, R. Brown, H. A. Miller, H. T. Crane and George Worst.
Everybody who knew Mr. Moses esteemed him highly. His was a quiet, genial and even lovable disposition. He never did any one any harm and was not given to speaking ill of anybody. He lived a long life, always industrious and agreeable to all with whom he came in contact. Heaven must be the eternal home of all such good men as he.

[MOSES, MARGARET B. "MAGGIE"]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, December 1, 1887
Death of Maggie Moses.
Margaret B. Moses, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. [ezekiah] I. [ngham] Moses, died at the residence of her parents in this city, Tuesday morning, Nov. 29, 1887, at four o'clock, of consumption. She had been in declining health for the past year, and it was evident to the members of her family and to her friends for some months past that she would not likely survive the winter. She was conscious to the last, realized that she was going to die, but had no fears of death. A few moments before dying, she put one arm around her mother's neck and kept it thus until the spirit had fled. She was aged twenty-one years. Maggie was converted under Miss Leonard's preaching in this city some six years ago and lived a devoted Christian life. She took a great interest in Sabbath School work until her health failed so that she could not attend. She was a noble young woman, and it is so sad that one so young, so energetic, and so useful, should be called from the earth-life just when ripening into womanhood. But the ways of Providence are past finding out. May the parents and relatives be consoled by the thought that Maggie now lives in the bright and joyous land beyond the skies and one day they will join her there where there will be no more parting, no more sorrow and sighing.
The funeral services were held at the house this Thursday at 10:30 A. M. conducted by Rev. J. H. Cox, after which her mortal remains were laid to rest in Miriam cemetery.

Mrs. H. I. Moses. – Mrs. Mary Moses, widow of H. I. Moses, a well-known citizen of Maryville who died January 9, 1896, died Friday, March 21, at the home of her son-in-law, A. M. Howendobler, on South Buchanan street after an illness of several weeks.
The funeral services were held at the residence Saturday morning by Rev. E. B. Lytle, assisted by Dr. G. L. Haight of Stanberry, the singers being Miss Vernie Felter, Mrs. J. C. Johnson, Paul Morrison and D. R. Eversole. The body was laid to rest in Miriam cemetery, C. C. Corwin, H. T. Crane, Harvey Hall, W. F. Smith, John Herron and John Airy acting as pall bearers.
Mary Ann Boyd was born in Gettysburg, Darke county, Ohio, June 1827. She went with her parents to West Milton, Ohio, where she grew to womanhood and was married to H. I. Moses December 13, 1846. In 1861 the family moved to Mt. Sterling, Illinois, in 1866 to St. Joseph, Missouri, and in 1874 to Maryville, Missouri.
Mrs. Moses was born of Quaker parents, and she possessed the sweet, modest, gentle, quaint ways which seem to be characteristic of the people of that faith. When 14 years old she united with the Methodist Episcopal church and has since been one of its most devout worshippers. She was the mother of seven children, five of whom had passed on before, one being Etta, the wife of A. M. Howendobler, who died twelve years ago. A daughter, Miss Nannie, of Maryville and a son in Chicago survive her.
Mrs. Moses was a pure home-loving woman. To her the tenderest ties of earth had been broken and she had long been patiently waiting for that sweet release which gave to her "the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

[MOSTELLER, GEORGE C.]
Daily Local News (West Chester, Pennsylvania), Saturday, November 15, 1890
George C. Mosteller. – One of the best known and highly esteemed citizens of West Vincent township, died very suddenly on Thursday. George C. Mosteller, to whom we refer, was born in West Pikeland township near by, and spent all his life in that vicinity. He was a son of the late Abram and Elizabeth Mosteller. The deceased was about 60 years of age and was a farmer. He sold the produce of his farm in Phoenixville chiefly, where he was well known. He was married many years ago to a daughter of the late John Hipple. His wife survives him as does also a daughter, who is married to Oscar Hutchison and resides at Maryville, Missouri.
Mr. Mosteller's death was due to paralysis. The stroke, which was the only one he ever suffered, occurred at about 7 o'clock in the morning when he was at the blacksmith shop of John Thomas, near Birehrunville, and only a short distance ferom his own home. He was carried into Mr. Thomas' residence and every possible attention was given him. His wife was sent for and she was with him during the few hours that he continued to breathe. He was insensible from the first. The only words he uttered were, "Take me home." It was not thought advisable to attempt to remove him even that distance. He died at about 5 o'clock in the evening. The body was soon thereafter removed to his late residence, from which place the funeral will take place.
Mr. Mosteller during his life time was elected to various township offices, including that of School Director and was a valuable member of the community in which he lived.

Death of George Moulton
George Hale Moulton, son of William and Margaret Moulton, was born in Breemer [Bremer] county, near Leroy, Ia., June 18, 1855; died in Kansas City, Mo., June 11, 1928, aged 72 years, 11 months and 23 days.
When a young boy he moved with his family to Nodaway county and later to Clinton county, Missouri, where he made his home until 1877, when he was married to Naomi Ellen Carp and they took up their residence in Cameron. To this union, two children were born; a son, who died in infancy and a daughter, Mrs. A. C. Northup, of Winamac, Ind.
In his early manhood Mr. Moulton and his wife were converted and taken into the M. E. church in Cameron, under the preaching of Jasper Cox, of sainted memory. Under Rev. Cox he studied for the ministry and preached his first sermon in the Wyckoff school house. He became a member of the (North) Missouri Annual Conference and preached at Maysville, Coffeysburg, Martinsville, Birmingham and Darlington during the years 1888 to 1894. About 1894 he moved with his wife and daughter to Lebanon, Kas., joining the Northwest Kansas conference, in which he served three pastorates. He later served one pastorate in Colorado and at this time, about 1900, he entered the lecture field and has since that time given his life to teaching and lecturing on applied psychology.
As a youth, Mr. Moulton attended the Missouri Wesleyan College, preaching in the country near Cameron during that time.
In the lecture field he has reached a great many people lecturing in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota and Indiana.
In 1914 his wife died and was buried from the Cameron M. E. church. Since that time he has made his home with his only child, the wife of Rev. A. C. Northup of the Northwest Indiana conference.
Mr. Moulton leaves to mourn his loss his daughter, Minnie, her husband, three grandchildren, Albert H., Lois and Elizabeth Northup of Winamac, Ind.; two brothers, Frank J. of Hoouiam [Hoquiam], Wash., Bert N. of Kansas City, Kas., and one sister, Mrs. Ellen Hurd of Cameron; two brothers, Lee T. Moulton and Avery P. Moulton, having passed on before. Five nephews and eight nieces and a host of other relatives and friends in other states.
His work as a teacher enabled him to be of great benefit to those who sat in his classes. He was a logical and understanding speaker, a loyal friend and a kind brother and father. He was for many years a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, holding his present membership in Grant Lodge No. 113 of Minneapolis, Minn.
Funeral services were conducted at the M. E. church in Cameron at 2 o'clock Wednesday, June 13, by Rev. H. McNamee and burial was in the Kidder cemetery.

Died, Friday morning, Dec. 21, near Ravenwood, Nodaway county, Mo., Mrs. Matilda Mow. Deceased was born near Pittsburg, Pa., March 1, 1814. Her maiden name was McCall. While young her parents went to Cincinnati, Ohio, and afterwards to Shelby county, Indiana, where at the age of 14 she joined the Presbyterian church. Dec. 24, 1837, she was married to John S. Mow when they both joined the Methodist Episcopal church in which church she ever after remained. In 1864, in company with her husband, she emigrated to Missouri, settling in Nodaway county and residing upon the same farm ever since. Mrs. Mow survived her husband some four and one-half years, he having passed away June 11, 1884. The funeral services were held at the Ravenwood church conducted by the Rev. John S. French, who preached an interesting discourse from Rev. 14: 13, after which the remains were followed to the sweet Home cemetery by a large concourse of neighbors and friends where she was laid to rest beside her departed husband, there to await the resurrection of the just. Deceased was the mother of nine children, five of whom survive her—four sons and one daughter. Three were buried in Indiana and one sleeps in a soldier's grave in Tennessee. Mrs. Mow was of the meek, gentle, and generous disposition, filled with the spirit of Christ. Pride and ambition had no place in her heart, always happy in doing good and showing kindness to the deserving, it was but natural that she should be surrounded by loving and admiring neighbors. Possessed of more than an ordinary degree of intelligence and being a great reader she was ever interesting in conversation and always kept posted on current events of the day. For 60 years a meek and lowly disciple of Jesus, in whom she placed implicit faith, she showed to the world that there is a blessed reality in the religion of Jesus and eternity alone can reveal the influence for good of such a life. To the sorrowing friends we would say, weep not. The aged mother is at rest. He who has the words of eternal life has said, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." In her unconscious sleep it will be but a moment till the resurrection morn when the dead in Christ shall come forth to be clothed with immortal youth. [Poem not transcribed.]

RAVENWOOD – December 3, 1888—OBITUARY – The subject of this sketch, sister Matilda Mow, was born near Pittsburgh, Pa., March 1, 1814, died near Ravenwood, Nodaway county, Missouri, December 21, 1888, aged 74 years, nine months and twenty days. While young her parents moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, thence to Shelby county, Indiana. She was converted and joined the Presbyterian church at the age of fourteen. She and John S. Mow were married December 24, 1837. Soon after they both united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. She remained a member of this church until called from the membership of the church militant to the Church Triumphant. Sister Mow was a Christian for over sixty years; a long service for one on earth for their Lord. One devoted to God's cause, as she, could do much indeed, in sixty years; and, though she be dead, her works do follow her. Her funeral was preached by the writer, Saturday, December 22, 1888, in the Ravenwood church, to a large and attentive audience of friends. As her life was that of a meek and true servant of Jesus, I feel that in her last hours on earth she could truly say, "all is well" . . . [Poem not transcribed.]    J. H. French.

Gone Home.
DIED – January the 8th, 1888, of typhoid malaria, Miss Eva Myers, aged 26 years, one month and 23 days. Deceased was a stepdaughter of John P. Garrett and was loved and respected by all who knew her. She was born in Jackson county, Indiana, Nov. 15th, 1861, and came to this county in the year 1868, where she has lived ever since, except the last two years she has lived with her sister in Nebraska. She was summoned here by telegram in October, to the bedside of her mother, who died two days after her arrival—her mother dying October 13, 1887, of the same disease.
Eva had been a consistent member of the M. E. church for the past 13 years and died trusting in the Savior. Her many friends and acquaintances in Nebraska will be pained to learn of her death. She leaves two sisters, three half sisters and two half brothers to mourn her loss; also her stepfather. When she found she must died she requested that her pastor in Nebraska be telegraphed for to preach her funeral. Her funeral was preached by Rev. J. L. Blanchard of the M. E. church, January 10th.
Her remains were interred in the Cain cemetery, whence they were followed by a large concourse of sympathizing friends and relatives.
Mr. Garrett and family have been certainly sorely afflicted this winter, nearly the whole family having been sick. One of them, Mrs. O. L. Shell, sister of the deceased being stricken down the day Eva died and is sick at this writing. Mr. Garrett contemplates breaking up housekeeping, we understand. We are truly sorry to hear he is going to do so. Mr. Garrett is a good citizen, a kind and obliging neighbor and they have lived among us so long that we regret to see the family broken up and scattered, but wherever they may go our loss will be some one else's gain. May the protecting care of our heavenly Father guide and protect them all in their affliction. [Poem not transcribed.]  A Friend.
