7,1881 Era Just as we
go to press the report reaches us that Jasper Goin died last night at Battle Creek of
consumption. Last fall Jasper went to
California, hoping that the climate might prove beneficial to his health, and it was
thought for a time he was improving, but when he returned to Battle Creek several weeks

January 18,1881, at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W.
King, by Rev. A.E. Smith, Mr. F.J. Lainson and Miss Luna L.King. February
4,1881 Era Mr. and Mrs.
C. Hansen of Silver Creek are overwhelmed with grief because of the elopment of their
daughter, Anna, only fifteen years old, with a worthless fellow by the name of Isaac
Calhoun. Calhoun is about 21 years old, and
has lived with his fathers family near Mr. Hansen’s, frequently meeting Anna at the
social gatherings in the neighborhood. The
absconding couple left on Thursday night of last week, their absence not being known to
the girl’s parents until the next
morning. Mr. Hansen followed their trail over
to Sac City, but there lost the track and can hear nothing of the fugitives since,
although he has sent telegrams to every place he can think of where they would be likely
to go. There is no doubt but that they are
married long before this time, and it would probably do no good now to find them. Mr. and
Mrs. Hansen who are estimable people have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
neighborhood and everybody is sorry for the poor deluded girl who has thus tempted their
fate. Poor Girl!
The Era would be glad to hope that she will not, in bitter anguish, repent
the rash act. February

Saturday John Hildenbrand and Dudley Malone, who lived up the river five of six miles,
came to town in the morning, remaining until about 4 o’clock, when they started home
hoping to get there before the rapidly raising streams should prevent them from crossing. Some two hours later the startling report was
brought in that both had been drowned while attempting to cross the Maple and the Clark
bridge, north of town. As communication with
the scene of the accident was by this time extremely difficult, our people waited with no
little anxiety for a confirmation of the sad report, but nothing definite was heard for
some time. The particulars of the drowning as near as we can learn is the following. May 13,1881

Era Killed By
Lightning From Chas.
Carlson in Hayes twp. we learn the death of Chas. Anall, a man 35 years of age, who
resided in Hayes twp, ten miles southeast of Ida Grove.
Early in the evening he started for the home of a neighbor , Mr. Block, who
lived about a mile distant, to take back a borrowed horse, and was detrained by the rain. Mr. and Mrs. Block and Mr. Anall were all seated on
the porch at the time the accident happened, sometime between 8 and 9. The children having already retired for the
evening. The shock completely prostrated Mr.
Block and his wife who on recovering from the insensible condition into which they were
thrown found Anall lying on the porch and life extinct.
His death was undoubtedly instantaneous, one moment with fair prospect for
life and the next into eternity. The escape of
Mr. and Mrs. Block was miraculous and if not for the cries of the children they were in an
unconscious state, the flash ignite the building and the parents rescued the children. May 19,1881

27,1881 Era Died at his
home in this city on August 23, at midnight, Matthew Gray, age 72 years. The deceased
was born in Belfast, ME on the 23rd day of 1809 in the month of September. When but four years old his father died and at the
early age of thirteen he was orphaned and left to fight single handed and alone the
uncertain battles of life. But placed in a
situation that would have utterly discouraged many a stouthearted lad of older years,
these adverse circumstances only served to bring into requisition all the self reliance of
his nature, and independent of aid from any source, he bravely met and surmounted the many
obstacles naturally presenting themselves to one thrown upon the world at so young an age. By his own endeavors he obtained a good education
and during the years of early manhood laid the foundation of a character noted for its
truthfulness and strict integrity. At the breaking out of the Blackhawk war in 1832 he was
a resident of Kaskakia, Ill. whiter his mother had moved after the death of her husband. Entering the army he was assigned to the post of
Lieutenant, which office he filled with honor and fidelity during the continuance of the
war. his regiment was the same as that of the
martyred president, Abraham Lincoln, and an acquaintance was here formed between the two
which ripened into lasting friendship. At
Kaskaskia he wooed and won the heart of a young lady in every way worthy his love, and on
Christmas of the same year 1832, he married Margaret G. Bertcher. Lacking one years short for half a century they
have walked together the path of life, sharing each other’s joys, and sorrows. Shortly after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Gray
moved to Hancock County, Ill.,and there founded the home in which was
happily passed the grater part of their married life.
Success attended their efforts, and more than a comfortable competency
rewarded their labors here. Mr. Grays entire
life having been governed by the invariable rule of strict punctuality in business, he
could not well fail to secure more than an ordinary amount of property. His pledges were held inviolable and redeemed to
the hour. he was most scrhpuous in this respect. In 1875 Mr.
Gray came to Ida County and located at this place, and has since made it his home. Last summer he met with an accident while out
riding and sustained injured from which it is thought he has never fully recovered . Since the first of January, up to the time of his
death, Mr. Gray had been confined nearly all the time to his bed. He has been out of the
house but a few times and then only for a short ride in the carriage. Of late he had been much worse, and for a number of
days past his death was expected at any hour. Tuesday, at
midnight, the last remaining spark of the vitality which had been slowly waning away, died
out, and the slender thread clinging so tenaciously to life was severed. Although looked for daily, sadly was the
announcements of Mr. Gray’s death received by our people. During his long illness the sympathies of the
entire community have been enlisted in behalf of the afflicted family, and in their
bereavement they possess to the fullest extent this kindly feeling. Matthew Gray was a man widely known and widely
respected. His many noble and genuine qualities commanded the esteem of all with whom he
came in contact, both in the business and social relations of life. A devoted lover of home, his greatest pleasures
were found in the family circle, and his domestic relations were of the happiest nature. To his
children he ever proved a kind father, to his wife a loving husband; and he has but passed
through the valley of death to wait upon the other side for her who so nobly aided him
during the journey thither. And thus passes away a life well spent, marked by a few
errors, and rich in works which live after the g rave. Six children
unite with the widowed wife in mourning the loss of the departed one. The names and
residences are; James M. Gray, Pine Bluffs, Arkansas; Anna G. Warren, Princeton, Illinois:
Sam S. Gray and Mrs. Sarah Hansen, Hamilton, Illinois; Mat. M. Gray and Mrs. Nellie
Browning of this city. The funeral
occurred Thursday at 10 o’clock. August

Augustesen had been a resident here since last spring, having came over the water from

emigrants. Since her residence here she had
been employed in the family of O.Waterman, and at the time of her death was living at Mr.
Bartrom’s. She was taken ill with typhoid
fever about a week ago and was attended by this family.
She was loved by all who knew her. September
3,1881 Era We owe an
apology to Mr. and Mrs. John Carothers and to Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Rundlett, for neglecting
to chronicle an eleven pound boy at Mr. Carothers and a winsome little girl at Mr.
Rundlett’s, both having taken up their residence about a month ago. September
3,1881 Era Two weeks
ago last Saturday night, while engaged n a good nature scuffle with a young fellow in from
of Grosvenor and Clift’s drug store, Levi Bailey fell and broke his leg, just above
the ankle. The broken limb was set by Dr.
Miller and the patient was doing well, when by moving around in bed, he managed in some
way to get the bones out of place. However,
this accident retarded the healing process but little, as it had not fairly commenced and
he was considered by the doctor as doing finely. He
was a man of ordinarily good constitution, and has suffered no sickness since the
accident. September
