R. A. HINDE HAD SUFFERED LONG
Seven Years Illness Is Terminated by Visit of the Death Angel

Richard Hinde, a well known and popular resident of Seney vicinity, died at
his home on Tuesday after a long illness of tuberculosis.

"Richie", as he was familiarly called by a large circle of friends and
acquaintance, enjoyed a great popularity and his death is regretted by many
neighbors and friends. He was a victim of tuberculosis, from which disease
he had suffered for the past seven years. Prior to that he was noted for his
physical strength and prowess and few men could vie with him in feats
requiring brawn, muscle and agility. During the illness which finally caused
his death he lived largely out of doors, camping in a tent, enjoying fishing
and hunting. He bore his suffering uncomplainingly and was always cordial
and cheerful.

Richard Hinde was born in Dubuque county forty-six years ago and in 1881,
when a boy, came with his parents to this vicinity, locating in Sioux
county, just beyond the confines of Plymouth county, where he has lived
practically all the time.

He leaves to mourn his death his father, Richard Hinde, five brothers and
two sisters, who are John Hinde, Ralph, Edwin and George, of the vicinity,
T. W. Hinde, at Forestburg, S. D.; Mrs. D. F. McArthur, of Seney and Miss
Mary Hinde, who lives at home with her father.

The funeral was held yesterday morning at the Methodist church in Seney,
Rev. T. L. Klutz officiating adn was largely attended by old friends and
neighbors.

headquarters at Salina.  He was born in 1868.  His father, Jacob Rubel, was
one of the first settlers in this county, coming here from Pennsylvania.

CRAIG: (From the Independent)

Considerable hog cholera is reported in mild epidemic form. No great losses
have been reported lately.

W. V. Jobes departed yesterday by auto on a business trip into Jackson and
Nobles counties, Minn., calculating to be absent for two or three days.

During the rain storm Monday night considerable hail is reported to have
fallen a few miles southwest from here in the Groenemeyer district.

The little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Bogenrief shot himself in the eye with
an air gun Tuesday morning. The wound was at first thought to be of a
serious nature, but examination and treatment by Dr. Null showed that no
serious results will follow.

The lastest report from Mrs. Herman E. Johnson, who gave birth to a baby
girl at the Mosher hospital in LeMars two weeks ago, is that she has left
the hospital, going to the home of her husband's parents in that city, Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Johnson, and that in a few days she will return home in
Craig.

A girl baby was born to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Grosenheider, of Grant township,
in the early morning of Decoration Day. "Bob" stands up under the ordeal
like a real soldier in the battle of life and responds to her bugle calls
with promptness becoming a general in command.

Friday is superstitiously considered to be an unlucky day and it proved to
be so to both of our blacksmiths last Friday. And ornery mule stuck a hoof
into Hubert Helmes' left cheek and B. Woodall dropped a corn plow shoved
onto his left foot, cutting it so that it was necessary for the doctor to
take several stitches in the wound. However, both men lost practically no
time from the anvils and forges.

LeMars Semi-Weekly Sentinel
June 17, 1913

HIS END WAS SUDDEN
J. S. Shoup, Former Plymouth County Educator, Dead
PIONEER LAND MAN PASSES AWAY
Saw Service in the Civil War and Was One of Guards in the Death Watch Over
Conspirators Who Compassed Lincoln’s Assassination.

Prof. Shoup, formerly lived in LeMars, died at his home in Smithland on
Saturday. He was well known and popular here while engaged in educational
work in LeMars and Plymouth County. The Sioux City Journal gives us the
following sketch of his life:

Death came suddenly yesterday to Joseph S. Shoup, formerly superintendent of
the Woodbury county schools, at his home in Smithland. Mr. Shoup had
returned the evening before from Council Bluffs, where he attended the grand
lodge meeting of Masons.

Mrs. Shoup was in a nearby room at the time of her husband’s death. He had
complained of being tired upon his return from Council Bluffs, and yesterday
noon reiterated to his wife that he did not feel well. He went into an
adjoining room, remarking that he would lie down a while. A few minutes
later Mrs. Shoup found him lying dead in bed.

Serving two terms as superintendent of the Woodbury county schools, Mr.
Shoup, who was 72 years old, was widely known in western Iowa for his
services as an educator. He served in the Woodbury county schools two
terms, from 1884 to 1888, and from 1900 to 1904. Before coming to Sioux
City, he was head of the city school in Council Bluffs, then at Danbury and
then at Smithland.

After quitting the Woodbury county schools, was head of the Normal School
that was in LeMars in 1895. After acting as superintendent of the schools in
Merrill, Mr. Shoup returned to Smithland, where he was in charge of the
school for two years, and then about 1902, he retired from active life.

Mr. Shoup was a brother of the late United States Senator Shoup, of Idaho.
Besides his wife, he is survived by his sons, Joseph P. Shoup, an attorney,
of Sioux City, and Lieut. A. K. Shoup, of the United States navy. His
daughters surviving him are Mrs. Cal Dicks, of Wichita, Kan.; Mrs. James
Fitzpatrick, of St. Louis; Mrs. Minnie Shoup, of Missoula, Mont.; Mrs. W. C.
Newton, of Westfield, Iowa; and Mrs. B. F. Anderson, of Newcastle, Neb.

Born in Pennsylvania, Mr. Shoup was educated at Lombard college, Galesburg,
Ill., and came west in 1873.

The funeral will be held in Smithland Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, Rev. H.
A. Riley, of the Methodist Episcopal church, officiating.

OBITUARY:

John C. Welliver, one of the pioneers of Plymouth county, died at the Soldiers Home in Marshalltown on Friday. He was a well known land man in the early days of settlement here and lived in LeMars for many years, making his home at Struble. A Marshalltown dispatch says of him:

Death claimed Thursday the last surviving member of the death guard of Mrs. Mary E. Surratt and three Lincoln conspirators, when Lieut. John C. Welliver died at the Iowa Soldiers home in this city at 75. Welliver's home was at Struble, Plymouth County.

It was on July 7, 1865 that John C. Welliver was captain of the guard that was posted in the death chamber of Mrs. Surratt, Lewis Payne Powell, who attempted to stab Secretary of State Seward at the time John Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln; David E. Herold, and George A. Atzerold. Welliver remembered the quadruple execution very well and even to some of the minor details and talked interestingly of the historic affair.

Welliver lived at Aledo, Ill., when the war broke out and on May 15, 1861, at Monmouth enlisted in company I, Seventeenth Illinois infantry. He served until May 16, 1864 and on February 4, 1865 enlisted in company H, Second Veterans' volunteer infantry. He was discharged as a second lieutenant March 9, 1866.

Welliver settled at LeMars, Iowa, shortly after the war and went into the land business. He claimed the distinction of having sold more land in Plymouth county than any other one man. For several years he acted as an agent of the Iowa Railroad Land Company, which handled the land grants of the Iowa Falls and Sioux City Railroad, later absorbed and made a part of the Illinois Central.

Welliver has a son, John Welliver, [rest of this sentence illegible].
