Peter Quast's Death.
He Had Been in Business in Maryville Many Years and Was an Honored and Respected Citizen.
Peter Quast, of the firm of Kuchs & Quast, died at his home on East First street last Sunday evening. Mr. Quast had for three years been an acute sufferer from cancer of the stomach. He had received much treatment and had traveled a great deal hoping to obtain relief but his condition gradually became worse in spite of all that could be done.
Mr. Quast was a native of Germany in which country he was born August 27, 1839. When he was about thirty years old he came to America, locating first in Wisconsin. Later he lived in Montana, from whence he came to Maryville.
For a few months he worked in the bottling house of Kuchs & Gross and when Mr. Gross retired from the firm he purchased his interest. Since then, a period of eighteen years, he had been a full partner in the business. He was married while living in Wisconsin to Caroline Schneider and they had four daughters, Mary, Pauline, Tillie and Johanne. Mrs. Quast died eleven years ago but all of Mr. Quast's daughters survive him.
The funeral of Mr. Quast took place from St. Mary's Catholic church Monday morning at 9 o'clock and was conducted by Rev. Fr. Anselm.
Mr. Quast was recognized as the soul of honor in all his business transactions. He was a modest gentleman and had not many acquaintances, but all those who knew him were his friends.

Death of Peter Quast.
Death came to this old and esteemed citizen of Maryville at 6:30 o'clock last Sunday morning. He had been in ill health for the past three years, and he has tried different climates, going to South Missouri for a time and to Colorado, but climate or nothing else, it seems, could restore him to health and he has been gradually declining. In July last he went to St. Joseph's Hospital of this city, and the surgeons and physicians found after a thorough examination that he had cancer of the stomach. He returned to his home and has since been going down in physical strength until the end came as above stated.
The funeral services were held at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Tuesday morning, at nine o'clock, services being conducted by Rev. Father Anselm.
Peter Quast was born in Germany, August 27, 1839. He lived there until about thirty years of age when he came to America. He resided a few years in Wisconsin, later moving to South Dakota and twenty years ago on the day he was buried, coming to Maryville. When he came here he began work in the bottling house and afterwards became a partner in the same with Mr. Richard Kuchs.
In Wisconsin Mr. Quast was married to Caroline Schneider, who departed this life about eleven years ago. Four girls were left motherless, who are now left fatherless, namely, Mary, Pauline, Tillie and Johanne. They have been very attentive and devoted to their father through his days and years of sickness and feel very grateful to the neighbors and friends who have been so helpful and kind to them in the affliction of their father's sickness and death.

In Memoriam.
Dr. Buckner M. [iller] Radford of Maryville, Mo., died at the home of his father, Dr. T. [homas] W. Radford, in Kansas City, February 18th, 1889. He was born in Howard county, Mo., June 28, 1855, and married to Miss Addie Teague of Clarksville, Mo., December 21st, 1881. Removed to Maryville shortly after, where he resumed the practice of dentistry.
The year following the doctor's settlement in Maryville, I removed from Clarksville to Maryville, taking charge of the Christian church at that place. By this move we were enabled to resume and perfect the acquaintance that had begun under such auspicious circumstances at Clarksville. I am quite confident that I knew the doctor in a very broad sense, knew him when and where the elements of a true and genuine manhood are seen in their best light. It is worth all to know one in the thought and purpose that sway the life, as friend, husband, citizen and in that highest relation of all, a brother in the bonds of a broad and liberal Christian fellowship.
Never in all the ups and downs incident to a preacher's life, was a home in all of its comforts, thrown open wider than was his to me and my family. It was through this free and informal family intercourse, running through two years, that a very fond attachment ripened between the two families and when the message came announcing his death, it seemed as though the dark angel had invaded our own home.
But he is gone. At the promising age of thirty-four, he surrenders to disease that had been preying upon him all his life. For years he knew not one day free from pain; and yet through it all, there were but few days in which he was absent from the office. Never was disease fought with more courage and resolution. It was through this unyielding will power, that his life was prolonged for several years. Human endurance has at last its limit, and to yield to the inevitable seems the way of mortality. And while he is gone, memory recalls a scene of wondrous beauty. He passed away quietly and peacefully, as one going to sleep, surrounded by those whose love for him burned as a holy fire—father, mother, brothers and sisters were there, and she who bore to him the tenderest and holiest relation of wife, who through all the years of wifehood had anticipated every want and by an endurance that never once faltered, ministered with loving solicitude. To her, as far as words can express the deepest feelings of the heart, would I say, let the thought of how well he filled the measure of a true manhood in all the walks of life, be to thee a balm and solace, a silver lining to the dark cloud that has come across thy path. The way now seems dark and lonely. He around whom the holiest affections were entwined has gone out from thy sight, only to become the object of the truest faith. A faith that will break to the heart Heaven's glad message beyond disease, beyond decay, beyond mortality, there will be a spring time of unsullied beauty, a fellowship that no death angel can ever sever the golden links. We will all miss him, but thou more than all; but let him be to thee more alive than ever, for his faith was in Him who is stronger than death.  E. B. Cake. Nevada, Mo.

Death of A. A. Reece
A. [braham] A.[lonzo] Reece was born in Fountain County, Indiana, June 23, 1844. When he was but three years old his parents moved to Coles County, Illinois and in 1856 to Fulton County. In Aug. 1857 they located in Lincoln Township, Nodaway County, Mo. Mr. Reece was raised on a farm and educated in the common schools. In 1861 he returned to Coles County, Illinois where he remained until 1866 and then again located in Nodaway County. He was engaged in farming till 1869 when he went to Madison Parish, Louisiana, where he again embarked in the mercantile trade. In July 1873 he disposed of his interest there and returned to Nodaway County. In 1876 he began in the drug business at Lamar Station where he continued till Feb. 1880, when he moved his stock of goods to Dawsonville, where he remained until 1888, when he again moved, this time to Elmo where he continued until the time of his death, except about four years he spent in farming in Kansas. He was in the mercantile business almost all the time he lived in Elmo. He was township collector in 1876 and was again elected to the same office in 1912. He was a member of both the I. O. O. F. and Masonic Lodges of Elmo.
Mr. Reece was married to Miss Nancy J. Matthews, a native of Ohio, on March 20, 1878. Four children survive of this union, Flora E., now Mrs. J. A. Anderson, William D., Dennie A. and Harlan L. One child, Grover Alva, died in infancy. Mrs. Reece died soon after they moved to Elmo on Oct. 14, 1888, aged 34 years, 3 months and 16 days.

To this union five children were born who with their mother survive the husband and father. They are Nina A., Minnie O., now Mrs. D. A. Anderson, Lawrence L., Eva May and Raymond R.
The immediate cause of his death was Pneumonia. He had an attack of small pox, but having been vaccinated, the attack was light and he was on the road to recovery but in some way caught cold and pneumonia came on and he only lasted about three days. He died Sunday morning about eight o'clock, May 25, 1913, aged 68 years, 11 months and 2 days. The funeral was private and the burial at Dawsonville Cemetery the evening of his death.
To those of us who had known him so long and well, the news of his death came as a great shock and we can hardly realize that the genial "Lon" Reece is gone and that we shall meet him no more. Life is better for us because we knew him and there is a distinct loss to us because he has gone out of it.
Peace to his memory.

At Rest. Death of Miss Bridget Riley.
It is with sadness we report the death of Miss Bridget Riley of Jefferson township. The summons came at 7 o'clock p. m. on Sept. 13 and life to her became eternal.
Deceased was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Riley. She was born and raised in Nodaway county and at the time of her death was twenty-four years of age. For a year past she has been suffering from that fell destroyer consumption but none thought the end so near. During the whole of her illness her mother and sisters did all possible to soothe and sustain her. But all that care and her physician's skill could do was to make her last moments as comfortable as possible. Her suffering at times was severe but she bore all patiently.
She was conscious to the last but owing to weakness could say little but seemed to desire to talk to her mother. At last death came, as gently as a child falling asleep.
The funeral services were held in the parish church at Conception and was very largely attended. Mass was conducted by Father Placidus, after which he delivered a very consoling address to the bereaved family and many friends. She was a worthy member of the society of the Children of Mary, of whom six carried her to her last resting place. [Poem not transcribed.]

--On Saturday morning last the rumor was circulating in town that Mr. Jacob Risser, a farmer living five or six miles northeast of Hopkins, had suddenly, in good health and without apparent cause, dropped dead while at work. Later we have been enabled to get nearer the facts, which are about as follows: After dinner on Friday last Mr. Risser went out some rods in front of the house to finish making a gate. His wife remembered that he had promised to assist a neighbor that afternoon and thinking he had probably forgotten it, went to remind him of his promise, taking their five year old daughter with her. Mr. Risser replied to his wife that he had not forgotten his promise to assist his neighbor and would go as soon as he hung the gate which would be but a few minutes. His wife returned to the house leaving the child at the gate with its father but had scarcely reached the door when the little one came running to the house saying, "Mamma, O Mamma; papa has laid down and gone to sleep awful quick and I can't wake him up!" Turning and looking in that direction she discovered her husband prostrate upon the ground; her screams and those of other members of the family as they ran to the place where he lay soon brought their nearest neighbors to their assistance, but too late; nothing could be done but carry him into the house, for he was dead. He was 53 years old, was buried in New Hope cemetery on Sunday, Oct. 23d, at 2 o'clock p. m. and the services were attended by the largest crowd of people that had assembled on a like occasion in the neighborhood for years. The family he leaves consists of a wife and nine children, three sons and six daughters, who deeply mourn the loss of a dear husband and kind father. – Hopkins Journal.

[RISSER, JACOB J. "JAKE"]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, November 3, 1887
--Bedford, Iowa, Republican: J. [acob] J. Risser, living on the State line, on what is known as the Cam Engles place, fell dead last Friday evening about four o'clock, while repairing a gate on his premises. Mr. Risser was in apparent good health and had been in town during the week. The only person who witnessed his death was his little daughter, who was playing near where he was working. She saw him fall to the ground and on approaching him found him asleep, as she supposed. She ran into the house and told her mother who came out and found him lying where he had fallen. There were still slight pulsations of the heart but these lasted but a moment after she reached the spot. Apoplexy is supposed to be the cause of his death, and the unexpected nature of the seizure carries with it a peculiar shock to the community. Mr. Risser was in his fifty-third year and was a perfect picture of health. He was intelligent, well-to-do and every where respected and his farm was one of the finest and best kept in the vicinity where he lived. He had been a Californian of the "forty-nine" period and had seen much of the world and had purchased the Engles farm about eight years ago. He leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his loss.

The family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Roach and one infant child, had retired for the night when the hard storm arose. The wind blew open the outside door of their house, and both arose to shut it. They had pushed the door to and Mrs. Roach was holding it while Mr. Roach standing on her right was nailing it fast. The thunderbolt struck the roof and ran down, striking him on the head, killing him instantly. Mrs. Roach was knocked down and her clothes set on fire, inflicting painful burns but not doing her serious damage. William Roach was born in Iowa and was 28 years old at the time of his death, fourteen of which he lived in Nodaway county. He was married about two years ago to a daughter of Wilson Gray, who with one child about one years old, survives.

[ROSEBERRY, MATHEW GLENN]

Death of M. G. Roseberry. At His Home in this City Tuesday Evening.
It is our sad duty this week to chronicle the death of Hon. Matthew G.[lenn] Roseberry, one of the most distinguished citizens of our community. He has been somewhat on the decline in health for several months but was taken to bed November 6th. After enduring much suffering, death came to his relief Tuesday, November 19, at about 8:15 P. M. and his spirit winged its way to the celestial spheres. When taken ill he was possessed of the idea that he would not survive and while fully at himself made known the funeral arrangements which he desired should be carried out. This was done in accordance with his expressed wish. At 10 o'clock Wednesday, November 21, his body was conveyed to the Christian church and lay there in state until 2 P. M. During these four hours, the people of our city and many from the county who were in town, went to the church to take the last look at the face of the beloved departed fellow-citizen. At two o'clock the funeral services took place at the church. Elder J. S. Frank passed a high eulogium on the deceased. The pastor, Elder N. E. Cory, preached an eloquent and impressive sermon on the life and character of the great and good man called home. All who turned out could not get into the church and such was the sorrow that but few dry eyes were in the audience. At the close of the services, the funeral cortege moved slowly and solemnly to Oak Hill cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest.
Matthew G. [lenn] Roseberry was truly a good man. But few men have contributed as much as he to the material interests and business welfare of our town and county. He had been a pillar of the Christian church since he united with it in 1870 and was a devoted Christian.
He was born in Adams county, Illinois, January 11, 1833. His early life was spent on the farm, but his parents were able to give him advantages of a liberal education at Illinois college, Jacksonville, Illinois.
In 1855 Mr. Roseberry, having finished his college studies, entered the law office of C. A. Warner, Quincy, Ill., and began preparation for the legal profession. By teaching school in winter and close application to study in spare hours, he was enabled to pass the required examination in 1857 before the supreme court of the state of Illinois, receiving his parchment from Judge O. C. Skinner of that court. In the fall of 1857 he came to Nodaway county, Missouri, locating in Maryville and entered at once upon the practice of his chosen profession, where he has since resided. About 1868 or 1869 Mr. Roseberry relinquished his legal practice and has since engaged in the real estate business. He has been successful in all his relations of life and has added to a most honorable record a competency for himself and those dependent upon him.
Politically Mr. Roseberry was a Democrat until the breaking out of the rebellion in 1861, casting his last Democratic vote for Douglas. He has filled the office of county attorney and school commissioner, always serving the public with acceptability. He served as provost marshal in 1863, 4-5, and became directly connected with the loyal forces in the civil war. He was elected state senator and served in that capacity four years—1868-72.
In 1858 he was married to Miss Phoebe E. Beal in this city. Miss Beal was the daughter of Charles Beal, Esq., one of the pioneers of Clay county but formerly from Marion county, Kentucky.
Mr. Roseberry is survived by his wife and an only son, Beal, a lad of about 14 years of age, who have in their bereavement the sympathies of the people. His first and only other child, a daughter, died in infancy.
For many years Mr. Roseberry has been a prominent member of the Christian church and by his broad Christian spirit and godly example has done much, not only to strengthen his society in the community, but has proven to the world the value of a Christian faith that goes with its possessor in the daily walks of life. Truly a man of liberal culture, fair-minded and honorable, careful of his fellows, a patron of all honorable enterprises tending to advance education or the interests of the people. — A man of excellent morals, of pure character and religious worth has gone. The world is better for his having lived in it and his good works will follow him.
--Samuel Roseberry of Roseville, Ills., brother of M G Roseberry, deceased, and Geo Reaugh of Rock Island, Ills., uncle of deceased, were in attendance during the last illness of our late fellow townsman.

[ROSEBERRY, MATHEW GLENN]

Mathew G. Roseberry. Death of One of Our Oldest Citizens.
DIED – at his home in Maryville, Mo., at 8:30 o'clock, P. M., Monday, November 19, 1888, Hon. M. G. Roseberry, of cancer of the stomach, aged 55 years.
One of our most widely known and best respected citizens has been taken from our midst. The one to whom our public school system owes, perhaps, the most; the steadfast guardian of the widow and orphan; the liberal donor in case of need and the assistant in all enterprises for our material welfare, has been called to a higher life by Him who rules over all, with the injunction "Well done good and faithful servant enter thou into thy reward."
Mathew G. Roseberry was born in Adams county, Illinois, 1833. He received aa common school education, supplemented by a course in the scientific department of the Illinois college, at Jacksonville. From 1854 to 1856 he taught school in his native state and studied law with Hon. C. A. Warren, being admitted to the bar after a searching examination by Judge A. C. Skinner of the Illinois Supreme Court.
In 1857 Mr. Roseberry located in Maryville and began the practice of law in partnership with J. H. Richardson. In June 1858, he was united in marriage with Miss Phoebe E. Beal of Maryville and soon after, finding business dull, he returned to Illinois where he began the practice of his profession in Brown county. In 1859 he started for Pike's Peak, but afte going part way turned back and in November of the same year settled down in Maryville, where he ever after resided.
Mr. Roseberry soon took a leading position at the bar of Nodaway county. He was one of the attorneys for the defense of Amos Hallsa for the murder of Lawrence, a noted case at the time. But perhaps the case of the greatest public interest in which he was engaged was when a tax was levied in 1865 for the purpose of building the old Maryville school building. Certain parties procured a temporary injunction from the county court, stopping the collection of this tax. The school district through Mr. Roseberry filed a demurrer to this, and the case was argued in the circuit court, resulting in the demurrer being sustained by Judge Heren. As a consequence to this the tax was collected, the school house was erected and hundreds of children received a liberal education within its walls.
When the rebellion broke out in 1861, Mr. Roseberry, although raised a Democrat, heartily espoused the cause of the Union. During most of the war he was Provost Marshal of Nodaway county and won many friends among those under the ban of disloyalty by his lenient and kindly disposition, extending all the favors compatible with his official position. Afte his retirement from this office he formed a partnership with the present Governor of Missouri, Hon. A. P. Morehouse in the real estate business, which continued until in the seventies.
In 1868 Mr. Roseberry was elected State Senator from this district for the term of four years. he served on the committee of Ways and Means, of Criminal Jurisprudence and County Boundaries. He was author of the bill by which the swamp lands which the United States had ceded to the state were patented to the several counties, thus saving the people thousands of dollars.
In 1870, together with Joseph Jackson, he founded the Maryville Republican of which he was editor until September 1871, when the paper was bought by the writer. Since the rebellion he was always a true Republican, although inclined to be conservative.
Mr. Roseberry was always much interested in railroads, having been one of the first directors of the Q., M. & P. R. R. When the pushing of the Wabash approached fruition, he was one of the most energetic and liberal movers in favor thereof and did more, perhaps, than any other man to secure its passage through Maryville.
He had unbounded hopes in the future of Maryville, contributed largely, by building and otherwise, to its material welfare. For several years he had withdrawn from active business only attending to his own affairs, together with considerable probate business entrusted to him on account of his probity and willingness to make sacrifices for others.
Mr. Roseberry joined the Christian church in 1870, since which time he has been a pillar in the church. By his removal the church loses one of its most liberal faithful members whose place it will be hard to fill.
He had not been feeling well for some months but was able to be around until about two weeks ago, his last appearance on our streets having been on election day, November 6. He then took to his bed and appears to have felt that he was stricken by death's finger from the first. He sank rapidly, his last breath going out about half past eight Monday evening, November 19, 1888. He leaves besides brothers and sisters, a devoted wife and one son to mourn their great loss.
The funeral service was held in the Christian church at Maryville, Mo., on Wednesday, November 21, at 2 o'clock p. m.  His body laid in state from 10 to 2 o'clock, to permit all to take a look at their departed brother and friend. The funeral sermon was preached by his beloved pastor Rev. N. E. Cory, who mourns the loss of a most valuable sustainer. All that is mortal of M. G. Roseberry was then laid away in Oak Hill cemetery, there to await the final trump.

Gone to Rest.
Died in St. Louis, Sunday morning, October 4, 1891, at 8:15 o'clock, Mrs. M. G. Roseberry, of peritonitis, aged 55 years.
Mrs. Roseberry had been in an ailing condition for several years. For the past two years she had been a constant sufferer, although at times able to be about. She went to St. Louis a few days before her death to undergo surgical treatment and the doctors thought they would be able to afford relief. Friday evening, however, she was worse, and her son Beal telegraphed to E. A. Vinsonhaler to come down which he did. On Saturday she was some better, and Mr. Vinsonhaler so telegraphed, but she was taken worse that night and died Sunday morning. Her remains were brought home on the Wabash Monday morning.
Mrs. Roseberry's maiden name was Phoebe Emma Beal. She was born in Clay county, Mo., October 25, 1837. At fifteen years of age she entered the Female Seminary at Camden Point where she remained three years but left the institution on account of poor health one year before graduating. At the age of sixteen she united with the Christian church in Clay county, Elder Cox being pastor, and was from that time an enthusiastic worker in her church. In November, 1855, she came to Nodaway county. June 10, 1858, she was married to M. [athew] G. [lenn] Roseberry. Two children were born of this union—Emetta died when 11 months old; Beal, the only survivor of the family, is now 17 years of age. The husband and father died in November 1888.
Mrs. Roseberry was the last survivor of the Beal family, her brothers T. K. and Charles having been among the business men of Maryville until their deaths several years since.
The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, October 6, at 2 o'clock at the Christian church in Maryville, conducted by the pastor, Elder I. N. McCash.

An O. K. Accident.
Edward Ross, a Switchman, run Over and Both Legs and an Arm Broken—His Life Despared of.
At noon to-day Edward Ross, a yard switchman in the O. K railroad yards, met with a terrible accident in which he had both of his legs and his left arm broken. He was making up a freight train and had just made a coupling when the fireman noticed him roll out from under the wheels. The engine was stopped and the fireman and engineer ran to where he lay bleeding, apparently dead. He was picked up unconscious and taken in the freight office. Dr. Lee was called and an examination showed that both legs had been run over between the thigh and knee and the bones crushed into splinters, also that the left arm was broken between the wrist and elbow. Soon after the doctor arrived and the flow of blood was stopped, the injured man regained consciousness. He was laid upon a cot and he asked for Bob Anderson, the yard master, who went to him and from that time until time for going to press he never spoke again.
Dr. Lee is using every means to save his life, but there is only one chance in a thousand for his recovery.
Mr. Ross had been in the O. K. company's employ for two years in the capacity of switchman, fireman and hostler, and only three weeks ago took a position in the yards as a switchman. He is 25 years of age and a prime favorite with his fellow workmen.
His mother lives at Maryville, Mo., and was wired the unfortunate accident. He was a boarder at the house of Mrs. Young on Second and State streets.

Killed By The Cars.
Another victim to the deadly freight car has been added to the already long list, this time Edward Ross, a switchman in the O. K. Line yards, being the unfortunate man to meet a horrible death. Shortly after noon yesterday, as he was coupling cars he fell and the wheels passed over both thighs and the left arm, crushing the bones to splinters and mangling the flesh terribly. No one saw the accident until after the wheels had passed over him, but it was supposed that he eighter got his foot caught or stumbled. He was picked up by his fellow railroad men and tenderly carried to the O. K. Line freight house and Dr. Lee summoned. The surgeon did everything that medical skill could suggest to save the man's life but his injuries were too severe for human aid to avail and without rallying he breathed his last at twenty minutes before 5 o'clock. The remains were taken in charge by Mr. Messick until his friends could arrive.
Mr. Ross had been in the employ of the O. K. Line in various capacities for the last two years and went to work as a switchman only a couple of weeks ago. He was about 25 years of age and universally popular with his associates. His mother lives at Maryville, Mo., and the sad news has been telegraphed to her.

She immediately visited the rooms of Undertaker Messick, where the body of her son lay in an elegant casket, upon which was a pillow of beautiful flowers with the words "Farewell Ed, From O. K. Boys." Mrs. Ross completely broke down when she looked at the corpse and cried piteously, and it was by the greatest effort of her son Sam that she was induced to leave. The son completed the funeral arrangements, and the body was shipped on the 8:45 train this morning for Plymouth, for burial.

[ROTH, JOHN K.]
Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, May 24, 1888
--John Roth, son of Hamilton Roth, of Atchison township, met with an accident last Friday which terminated fatally. He was going out to the field after dinner. One of the horses he was working was five years old but was not broken to ride and John concluded he would ride him. He mounted the horse but the horse soon threw him. John's foot caught in the harness and he was dragged about one-fourth of a mile, the horse kicking him as he ran. When the young man was reached, he was in an unconscious condition and lived only about an hour. His body was badly bruised. He was 19 years of age. His remains were buried at Hazel Dell cemetery Saturday. The sad accident has cast a gloom over the community.

His body was horribly mangled, every bone was broken, his skull was crushed and his brains were scattered over the ground. Roth was a poor boy, a hard worker and was well liked by all who knew him. His parents live two miles east of Clearmont. The funeral took place from the Wallace residence and the services were conducted by Rev. Redburn.

Mrs W [illiam] L [eedom] died at the residence of her husband three miles southwest of Maryville, of pneumonia induced by a relapse from the grip, Wednesday, February 26, 1890, aged 46 years.
Emma Pierson was born in Morrow county, Ohio, April 30, 1844. She was converted when quite young and joined the Methodist Episcopal church in which, as well as in the Sunday school, she was an active and efficient worker for many years, until after her marriage the increasing cares of family and home gradually withdrew her from active work.
She was married in Morrow county to W [illiam] L [eedom] Russell on January 29, 1863. To them six children were born, four of whom are living, one girl and three boys. In 1884 the family moved to Nodaway county, settling on the farm where Mrs. Russell died, three miles southwest of Maryville.
In January Mrs Russell was sick with the grip and after partially recovering she came to Maryville to nurse a sick sister. This was too much for her in the weakened condition of her system and on Thursday February 13 she was taken with a relapse. She began to grow worse on Sunday, February 16, and died on Wednesday, February 26, at 3 p. m.
The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon, March 1, 1890, at the Baptist church in Maryville, conducted by Rev Mr Kemper, after which her mortal remains were laid away in Oak Hill cemetery. The sympathies of all are with the afflicted family, who we trust are sustained by the promises of Divine Writ and faith in the merits of a pitying Savior.
