BLANCHARD – Died. Jane M. Adams was born in Washington county, Pa., Dec. 15, 1832, and died Feb. 17, 1896, age 63 years, 2 months and 2 days. She was married to George Adams April 18, 1862 and moved to Page county, Ia., in the spring of 1889. She united with the Old School Presbyterian church when young and lived a faithful Christian life. She was a good neighbor and loved by all who knew her. She had been a sufferer the last four years with dropsy, which she bore [?] without a murmur of complaint. The funeral was preached Wednesday by Rev. Mr. Redburn, pastor of the M. E. church in Blanchard and the remains were laid to rest in the Blanchard cemetery to await the resurrection morn. She leaves her husband to mourn the loss of a true and faithful wife and many relatives in Pennsylvania, none of them being able to get here to attend the funeral. Uncle George, as everybody calls him, has the heartfelt sympathy of this community.

A cloud of sorrow and gloom came upon the household of Simon Good Saturday night when they received the sad news that Mrs. Good's brother, J. [ames] R. [ufus] Allen, formerly known through this vicinity as Rufus, was dead. The family was not aware of his sickness and his death comes as an arrow to the hearts. He has been for six years an employee in the Kankakee Hospital.
The long continued drouth is the cause of the water in the river being so low and impure which has to be used at the hospital. About a dozen cases of typhoid fever have developed and in the worst form; two or three have already died, among that number J. R. Allen. He was born in Andrew county, Mo., in 1867. He came to Iowa eleven years ago and remained a while and then moved to Nebraska, and from there he went to Illinois. In 1892 he was married.
The funeral was held in the large Baptist church at Kankakee of which he was a member. He had gone to rest, but why this young life should be taken is more than we can understand. We can hear of deaths, we can witness the scenes of sorrow and deaths among our neighbors, we can try to speak words of comfort but when death comes to our own home, words of comfort spoken by others fall like lead upon the sorrowing heart. This noble young man was kind and loving in home and there is a vacant place which no other can fill. Three of this family have crossed the river of death. The father and mother, two brothers and one sister remain to mourn. His bro., C. [harles] B. [ertrum] Allen was with him during his last hours.

Died. – Mrs. Arthur Berry died suddenly at her home in north Clarinda, Tuesday evening, Dec. 10, 1895, after only a few days serious illness, aged 23 years. The evening before Thanksgiving a bright babe was born to Mr. and Mrs. Berry and she was doing well until last Sunday she was taken with fever and grew rapidly worse despite the efforts of physicians until death relieved her of all earthly ills. Only a year ago the 24th of last October, Mr. Arthur Berry and Miss Marie Wilson were married in Omaha and a bright future seemed in store for them; but the Reaper Death has entered the home and taken away an amiable wife and fond mother, and a devoted husband and motherless infant babe are left to mourn her untimely death. Sadness and sorrow fill the hearts of our entire community. The funeral took place from her late home at 3:30 today, conducted by Rev. I. C. Rankin and her mortal remains laid to rest in the city cemetery.

The death, Tuesday night, at 8:25 o'clock, of Mrs. Mary F. Berry, wife of Arthur L. Berry, caused universal sadness throughout the city. The end came suddenly. A little over a year previous, Mrs. Berry was a fair young bride, she and her husband having before them the seeming promise of a long and happy life together; now, death has come between them and made a home of joy one of great sorrow. A little son, born the 27th of last month, had come to bless the union and survives, a healthy child, as a means of solace to the afflicted. The late Mrs. Berry's maiden name was Mary Frances Wilson. She was born in Ohio and died in her 24 th year. She had lived in Clarinda three or four years before her marriage, which took place Oct. 24, 1894, in Omaha. She leaves her mother, Mrs. M. A. Wilson, in this city, a sister, Mrs. Roy Blair and brother, Howard Wilson, in Chicago. The mother and sister, with the relatives here and a large number of friends attended the funeral, yesterday afternoon, at the family residence. Just before the sad service, the motherless baby, Lowell Wilson Berry, was christened in the presence of the family, by Rev. I. C. Rankin, pastor of the United Presbyterian church of which the departed mother was a consistent member. The casket of Mrs. Berry was completely covered with smilax, roses and lilies. Underneath it were ferns. About the casket the room was darkened. The services were conducted by Mr. Rankin and Rev. T. C. Smith. The latter spoke briefly and appropriately. Mr. Rankin based his excellent and touching remarks on the Scriptural quotation, "In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you; I go to prepare a place for you." "Ye believe in God, believe also in me." The choir were Mr. and Mrs. E. G. McCutchan, Miss Bessie McCutchan and John Keener. They sang from the Psalter, verses 8, 11, 12 from No. 133, all of No. 392, and verses 18, 19 and 20 of No. 321. The bearers were the three brothers of the bereaved husband, W. B., C. L., and L. V. Berry, and Messrs. W. A. Henderson, H. R. Spry and W. B. Shoemaker. The burial was in the Clarinda cemetery.

Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Tuesday, December 17, 1895
Obituary – This community was greatly shocked last Tuesday night by the news of the sudden death of Mrs. Marie Berry, wife of Arthur L. Berry. Not many knew that she was seriously ill and even the watchers at the bedside did not give up hope until late in the evening. She passed away at 8:30.
So short a time a wife leaving behind her an infant son, born Nov. 27, and so devoted to a husband, a mother, a sister and brother, and a wide circle of friends, her death seems one of the saddest possible.
Marie Francis Berry was born June 22, 1872, in Xenia, O., where her family were well known, her Grandfather having been President of the Theological Seminary of the U. P. church there for many years and her father, W. H. Wilson, having died there. Her mother, Mrs. M. A. Wilson, removed to Omaha, Neb. in 1888. Marie attended the Neb. State Normal School and began teaching in 1892. Mrs. Wilson accepting the position of matron of the Asylum at this place in Jan. of '93, Marie followed her mother here in March and taught school that spring. In the fall she entered the store of W. B. Berry & Son and on Oct. 24, 1894 was married to the Junior member of that firm, A. L. Berry. Mr. Berry came to Clarinda in 1868, and no young man stands higher in religious, business or social circles or enjoys the confidence and respect of the public in general than "Arthur."
Mrs. Berry shared her husband's popularity in full, as he shared hers, and the home so recently made so full of love and devotion, was indeed a pleasant spot in this vale of tears.
In order, seemingly, to make this home perfect, a little son was given it Nov. 27th and then the heavenly Father took the mother to Himself that the heart of that home might always be in heaven!
She leaves one sister, Mrs. Leroy Blair and one brother, Howard Wilson, both of Chicago, but who have united here and are pleasantly known in addition to those already mentioned to mourn her loss.
The funeral services were held at the residence Thursday afternoon at 3:30, conducted by Dr. T. C. Smith and I. C. Rankin. The casket was "covered with flowers," roses, lilies, smilax and ferns, all most beautiful. The choir, Prof., Mrs. and Miss McCutchan and Jno. Keener rendered the song of the spirit exquisitely. The pall bearers, W. B., C. L. and L. V. Berry, W. A. Henderson, H. R. Spry and W. B. Shoemaker bore the casket forth and we laid her away, while listening to the voice of God, "Let not your hearts be troubled, ye believe in God, believe in me. In my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."

Taken Home.
Two weeks ago last Tuesday Mrs. Rev. S.[amuel] C. [harles] Black left here for her home at Kewanee, Illinois, accompanied by her sweet little daughter, Helen, and last Wednesday morning they returned. But what a sad change had taken place. When they went away little Helen was in robust health and the joy and pride of all who knew her, but only the mortal clay returned for the angelic spirit had taken its flight to the home beyond and the heart broken parents are left to mourn. Helen was one year and eight months old and died from an attack of membranous croup. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. T. C. Smith at the home of Mrs. Black's parents, Rev. and Mrs. R. R. Westcott. The music was furnished by a quartette of Mrs. Black's young friends, consisting of Misses Anna Burrows and Mertie Hooper and Mrs. Honens and Mrs. W. L. Pederson with Mrs. Loranz at the piano. The pall bearers Messrs. Ed Westcott, D. G. Sutherland, Chas. Butler and O. M. Cook. There was a profusion of beautiful flowers in the casket. The remarks of Dr. Smith were very comforting to the mourning ones for he assured them that the loved one was only gone before and that she was not lost but rather saved. The parents have the sympathy of the entire community.

The Des Moines Capital of Tuesday evening said of the death of little Helen Black: "Lafayette Young and family received a telegram this afternoon from Kewanee, Ill., from Rev. S. C. Black, announcing the death of that place of their darling baby Helen. She died at 7:15 this morning of membranous croup. The interment will be at Clarinda. Baby Helen was about 1 year and 6 months old and a lovelier child was never born. She was not only beautiful but perfect. Her death is not only a crushing blow to the young parents but comes with untold sorrow to many hearts in Des Moines. Death plays havoc with human hopes and human hearts at times—ending hopes and bruising hearts mercilessly. The bereaved parents will have widespread sympathy in time of sorrow.

Rites Tuesday for Mrs Mahala Delap A Pioneer Resident
Died Saturday at Farm Home Northeast of Clarinda After Recent Illness
One of the vicinity's early settlers, Mrs. Mahala Delap, died early Sunday morning at her home northeast of Clarinda. She had observed her 93rd birthday last September 5th, 73 years of which had been lived in the same house.
The funeral is to be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Pruitt-Bracken funeral home. The burial will be in Clarinda cemetery by the side of her husband who died nearly twelve years ago.
Mrs Delap was Mahala Ingram before marriage to Rafe Delap on December 12, 1869. Her family had come from Tennessee in a covered wagon when she was but 5 years of age, building a log cabin in the valley not far south of the present home. After a year, they went to near Hopkins, Mo, for two years, then coming back and building the home just north of the present Delap farm.
She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Frank Williams, who has been devoted in the care of both her father and mother.

Mrs. R. H. Delap – Mahala Ingram Delap, daughter of Silas and Sarah Ingram, was born in Big Creek Gap, Campbell county, Tennessee, on September 5, 1849 and died at her home three miles east of Clarinda, January 17, 1943, at the age of 93 years, 4 months and 12 days.
In the year 1854 she came with her parents in a covered wagon to Iowa where the family settled on a farm, and with the exception of 6 years she lived on this farm for 87 years. Indeed, she was a pioneer in this community.
She attended school at the log schoolhouse and later years at the Oak Grove school house and also attended religious services at the neighborhood schoolhouses back in the days when services were conducted in the home communities. She was deeply interested in the things of the Spirit. She was a student of the Bible and found comfort and help in its sacred pages.
On December 12, 1869, she was united in marriage to Ralph H Delap. To this union one daughter was born, Sarah Chloe, of Clarinda.
During her lifetime she was a wonderful neighbor and friend, giving her assistance many times to those who were in need of help. She will be greatly missed in the community where she lived so beautifully and helpfully through the many years.
She was a devoted mother. She will be missed in the home circle.
Surviving her are her daughter, Mrs Sarah Chloe Williams, and one sister, Mrs Sarah McCune of Greeley, Colo, and Mrs Emma Vin Sant Thompson of Kansas City, Mo, who is now 94 years of age. The two farms on which they lived joined.
Before she departed this life, she gave her loved ones the assurance that all was well with her and requested that her loved ones meet her on the other side.
The final services for this pioneer were held the afternoon of January 19 at the Pruitt-Bracken funeral home, Rev Charles Rowe, pastor of the Methodist church in Clarinda, being in charge. Casket bearers were C L Herren, Allen Whitehill, Charles Prigga, Milton Cooper, Percy Beery and Walter Cramer, the first three of whom had also been pallbearers at the funeral of Mr Delap about twelve years prior. Music was furnished by Mrs Helen Hall Hoskinson at the piano and a mixed quartet from the Methodist church. Burial was in Clarinda cemetery by side of her husband.

Ralph Delap – On Monday evening at 10 o'clock, April 6th, 1931, there ended the earth life of one of Page county's oldest settlers, as Ralph H. Delap went quietly to the invisible world. Mr. Delap was born in Big Creek Gap, Campbell county, Tennessee, on July 28, 1842 and had reached the age of 88 years, 8 months and 8 days. His father and mother were George and Phoebe Cabbage Delap, the family being descended from French and German ancestors. Mr. Delap was the last of a family of five children, three of whom reached a ripe old age.
The family came to Page county by team and wagon in 1855 and located in Nodaway township, but returned to Tennessee after a residence of one year. In 1863 he again came to this county and the second time remained but a year, when the journey was made to the sunny southland again. However, in December 1865 he came back to Iowa and to Page county where his home has been ever since.
On December 12, 1869, he was married to Mahala Ingram, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Ingram, who were also pioneers of Page county. To them was given one child, Sarah Chloe, who with her mother, are the bereaved survivors. In those days of the past when religious services were held at schoolhouses, Mr. Delap was a very interested attendant and was open minded to the truth as the Gospel was preached. In his last years he expressed his full confidence in Jesus Christ as his Saviour. He looked forward to the permanent home in heaven where all his were to be gathered together.
For twenty years or more he was school director and always took an active part in the schools of his district.
Funeral services held Thursday afternoon at the home, were conducted by the Methodist pastor, Dr. D. J. Shenton, interment being in Clarinda cemetery. The pall bearers were Allen Whitehill, Charles Richards, Charles Prigge, Ernest G. Strong, Roy Herren and John Douthit, neighbors or old friends of deceased.
Present at the funeral from out of town were Kenneth and Joe Rogers from near Clearmont, Richard Parnell from Clearmont, Mr. and Mrs. West Tucker of Burlington Jct., Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Ingram and Mrs. Will Ingram from Bedford.
The passing of Ralph Delap recalled early days in this section of country. Before the coming of Mr. Delap, trekking across country in 1855, came the Ingram family, in 1854, Mrs. Delap having come with her parents in the same way, travelling in covered wagons drawn by either horses or oxen, from Tennessee, across lower Illinois to Warsaw, then by slow stages to southwestern Iowa, where the subsequent life of these early pioneers and their descendants has been spent, helping to make this country what it is today.

Aged Woman Dies Suddenly. Mrs. Erickson Passes Away at Hepburn—the Coroner Called in the Matter.
Mrs. Bertie Erickson was sitting at a stove Wednesday at the home of her niece, Mrs. Peter Leeden [Leden], at Hepburn. She was smoking a pipe when the family left the house. After about one-half hour's absence from the house they returned, finding her dead. She was nearly 82 years of age. The family thought it best to have the coroner, so Dr. N. L. San Sandt, the county coroner, and Sheriff Lewis Akin yesterday visited the place where she died, and the doctor, after investigating the case, concluded that the death was a natural one, from heart failure. The woman's chin was burned and her nose bruised, indicating that she had fallen on the stove.

Mrs. Corlson was called immediately but told them her death had been instantaneous. The coroner came up Thursday morning and pronounced the cause of her death to have been heart failure. Mrs. Erickson was born in Sweden in 1814. She joined the Swedish Methodist church when but a girl and remained faithful to the same until her death which occurred Oct. 30, '05.

[HENDERSON, MARY JANE STONE HARDEE]

Died, at her home in Braddyville, Ia., Jan. 19, 1896, Mrs. Stewart Henderson, age 59 years, 7 months and 13 days. After months, weeks and days of suffering so terrible that she told the writer that tongue could not tell, nor pen write, the pain, misery and suffering that she had so patiently endured since she first commenced treatment for the cancer, to say nothing about the suffering before that time, all of which she bore so patiently and meekly, waiting until the Saviour called her home to meet loved ones on that bright and happy shore where sorrow, sickness, pain and parting are unknown. During her sickness she seemed reconciled to her fate and talked about dying and said that she was only going home. She requested that Rev. Harris of Clearmont, Mo., pronounce the last words over her remains, as he was a special friend of hers, whom she had known since he was a babe and often had held him upon her knee. She could say with the poet of old,
"Weep not, weep not, my friend for me,
For I soon shall be from pain and sorrow free."
As requested, Rev. Harris preached the funeral sermon, which was a very appropriate and impressive one. He spoke of the weakness of man compared with the powers of God, that we are born to die, for God has said, "The wages of sin is death." He spoke kind and sympathizing words to the bereaved family and pointed them to God who alone can heal the broken and wounded heart. The church was filled by the sympathizing friends to hear the last words and take a last look at our friend and neighbor who has been with us for a number of years, who was always ready and willing to share the joys and sorrows of others. We all deeply feel our loss and to the husband and children of our friend we offer our sincerest sympathy in this their dark hours of sorrow and trust that they and we, her friends, may so live that we may meet in that bright and happy home above, an unbroken family, an unbroken band, and clasp glad hands with those who have already crossed the dark river of death and that we may say with the psalmist of old, "Though I walk through the valley and shadow of death I will fear no evil." And now, with a feeling that our loss is heaven's gain, we will bring this to a close. [Poem not transcribed.]  A Friend.

Mrs. Mary Jane Henderson whose sickness has been mentioned, expired Sunday the 19th at 8:30 p. m. She had been only just alive for several days and her death was looked for at any time—yet when the Dread Messenger came and took one that had been known here so long our whole community was saddened and felt the severe pangs of a friend gone to rest, free from the toils, trials and vexations of this life. Her funeral on the 21st was very largely attended. For miles they came to pay their last respects to the departed one. The services was conducted by Rev. Harris of the Christian church of Clearmont. An able and impressive discourse was given at the M. E. Church, after which the vast congregation followed the remains to the silent city of the dead, there to await the Trumpet Call at the last Great Day with saddened hearts as they wended their way homeward. Mrs. Henderson was 59 ½ years old and leaves a husband and five own children and two stepchildren to mourn her loss. They will miss her.
Yes they'll miss her,
    As the days and nights go by,
And they know her when they see her,
     In that home beyond the sky.
The family have the deepest sympathy of all in their hour of affliction.

Mrs. Walter W. Hill – this morning brought a letter from Walter W. Hill to his friend, Orville C. Greene, in this city, informing him of the death of Mrs. Hill. Mr. Hill writes that his wife died Sunday, May 8, 1921 at 8 a. m. at their temporary home, 935 South Flower street, Los Angeles, Calif., and that there would be cremation services Tuesday, May 10. The late Mrs. Hill's maiden name was Dola Thompson. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Thompson of Clarinda and the early years of her married life were spent in this city. After Mr. Hill retired from the office of county recorder of Page county, he and Mrs. Hill moved to Denver, Colo., where they went to Los Angeles. Mrs. Hill had not had very good health for years and it is the impression here that she was affected with tubercular trouble. She was a woman of refinement and culture and will be remembered here as having been a highly valued member of Clarinda social life and citizenship. Many friends here will regret to learn of her demise and will sincerely sympathize with the bereaved husband.

[HILL, WARREN THOMPSON]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, November 22, 1895
Warren Thompson Hill – When The Journal went to press last week it appeared that the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter W. Hill was on the road to recovery and the marked improvement in his condition was noted in these columns. Later the little one grew weaker and Monday morning at 7:45 o'clock his earthly life was ended, the passing away being calm and peaceful as though he was going to sleep. The child's full name was Warren Thompson Hill. The middle name, Thompson, was his mother's maiden name, her parents being Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Thompson of Denver, Col., formerly of this city. Warren was 10 months and 5 days of age at the time of his death. He was a bright and lovable little child, whose going out from the household to the grave is a great sorrow and irreparable loss to the devoted parents. In their bereavement they have the sympathy of a very large circle of friends. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the family residence, conducted by Rev. T. C. Smith, D. D., pastor of the Presbyterian church. The funeral flowers, all white, were tender tributes of respect from the ladies of the P. E. O. society and other friends. During the service the casket occupied a position in the room in front of the bay window. The casket was trimmed with smilax and buried in a bank of chrysanthemums, tea roses, pinks, daisies and carnations, all of them, as suggested, being white. Back of the casket was a stand with large fern and a white chrysanthemum plant in full bloom. Above the stand and back of the casket, festoons of smilax hung from the windows. The floral decorations were very tastefully arranged, and most appropriate. Dr. Smith's remarks were peculiarly appropriate to the occasion. The hymns were sung by a male quartet composed of Messrs. S. W. Hurlbut, F. N. Tomlinson, E. G. McCutchan and R. U. McClenahan and were "Nearer My God to Thee," "My Faith Looks Up to Thee," and a most touching and tender, sweet lullaby, "Sleep, My Little One, Sleep." The bearers were Messrs. W. B. Shoemaker, Frank Blair, Clarence Blair and C. L. Berry. Judge N. W. Macy thoughtfully and appropriately adjourned the district court during the funeral, the bereaved father being the deputy clerk of the court, and the obsequies were attended by the judge, members of the bar, and Mr. Hill's associates from the several county offices in the building. In his casket, the little one, fair and sweet in life, looked natural and life-like to those who saw the features for the last time before his burial.

Mr. Ingram resided on section 28, Nodaway township. He was born Aug. 10, 1814, in Scott county, Va., and died Feb. 17, 1896, in the 82d year of his age. He spent his early youth on a farm and at the age of 14 years started to learn the tanner's trade, which he followed until he came to Iowa. At 18 he moved to Tennessee and was married in Campbell county, that state, in 1843, to Miss Sarah Hampton, a native of Tennessee, born in 1820. Mr. and Mrs. Ingram resided there until 1854 when, with five other families, they came to Page county, Ia., enduring the hardships and experiences of pioneer life in those days. Mr. Ingram settled one-fourth of a mile south of his late home, built a log cabin and set about making a home. He furnished his family with meat by killing wild game. Thinking he might better his condition he removed to Nodaway county, Mo., but after two years he returned to his present location. Mr. and Mrs. Ingram had a family of nine children, six of whom are now living, Laben S., Mahala, wife of Ralph Delap, William, and Sarah, wife of David McCune, David Franklin, Eva M., wife of J. [ames] S. Nace. He was raised a Methodist and believed in the teaching and government of that church. It has been well said of him, "He was a genuine pioneer and claims our respect and admiration. He has reared a family an ornament to any community. The bereaved family return thanks to all who rendered kindly service during his illness and at the time of his death.

BLANCHARD - Died, Jan. 17, 1896, Harvey M. James, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. James of Blanchard, of consumption, age 21 years, 4 months and 21 days. He has been a sufferer of consumption for about two years. He united with the M. E. church when 10 years of age, and has lived a consistent Christian life, being found at his post in all the works of the church and regularly attended church and Sabbath school as long as he was able to attend. Three years ago, he went to St. Joseph Mo., to attend college, looking strong and healthy as though he had a long life to live. After attending college about one year his health began to fail him, then he went to work on a ranch near Hamburg, thinking outdoor work might improve his health but as it continued to fail to a considerable extent he came home in May, last, and about the middle of July he and his father went to Santa Fe, N. M. for the benefit of his health. But after being there about two months and receiving no benefit they returned to Blanchard. Drs. Headings and Wallace of St. Joseph attended him but to no avail. Soon after returning from New Mexico he was confined to his bed, dwindling to a mere skeleton but being rational all of the time; his last days were days of joy and comfort to the bereft. He would talk of the goodness of God and of the bright prospects he had of meeting brothers and sisters who had gone before and especially the last two days, when he exhorted his parents and one brother and one sister, who are left to mourn the loss of a true and loving son and brother, to each live a true Christian life so that they could one day meet around God's throne as an unbroken family, where there is no sickness, no trials or sorrows, but all will be joy and peace and happiness. Miss Trenholm of St. Joseph, Mo., a friend of the deceased, sent pretty flowers to decorate his coffin. His funeral sermon was preached at 2 p. m. at the M. E. church by Rev. Redburn and Sabbath morning the remains were conveyed to Hamburg and interred in the Hamburg cemetery. The burial services were conducted by Rev. Allen of Hamburg. The bereft have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends and neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. James feel under obligations to and wish to thank their many friends and neighbors for their friendship and assistance during the sickness and death of their son Harvey.

[JOHNSON, EBENEZER CARSON]
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Tuesday, January 7, 1896
Ebenezer Carson Johnson was born near Chillicothe, Ohio, Sept. 10, 1839, and died in Clarinda, Iowa, Jan. 1st, 1896, aged 56 years. He made profession of his faith in Christ and was received into membership of the united Presbyterian church in Urbana, Ohio, when about twenty years of age. He lived a consistent Christian life and chose companionship of Christians always delighting in attending upon the ordinances while in health. He enlisted in the service of his country in 1861 and served in the war until its close, but through sickness, fatigue, and hardship incident to war, his mental and physical faculties became undermined, from which he never recovered. But we have the comfort of a covenant keeping God who has removed him out of a world of suffering and imperfection, and we trust given him a home in the mansions He has prepared where there where there are no imperfections.

Her maiden name was Eliza McKown. She was married in Richmond, Indiana, to Mahlon K. Jones, Oct 13, 1840. Of this union there was born seven children, William H. and Clara died in infancy. The remaining five, Mary J. [ane], J. [ohn]  D. [avis], W. F., Ed T. and Maggie are here to-day, together with the deeply afflicted husband and father to mourn the loss of a devoted and loving wife, and a kind and affectionate mother who has devoted her whole life for the good of her family. Mother Jones has been an invalid for years, but her home life has been an exemplification of the sustaining and keeping power of him who ever watches over his church, "and doeth all things well. "We will not murmur or complain beneath the chastening rod." Yes, a mother's love and mother's advice, and cheerful admonition has gone out from the home, but the memory of them will live forever.
But tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."
The funeral of the late Mrs. Jones will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon at the house, conducted by Rev. J. F. St. Clair.

Mahlon K. Jones was born in Bedford county, Pa., July 26, 1818, died in Clarinda, Ia., Oct. 4, 1898, age 80 years, 2 months and 8 days. He was an upright, honest man with all that word implies. He joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1840 and during the 58 years he was a member of it he exemplified the religion of the Saviour he loved and served in his everyday life. He served the church as a trustee, steward and class leaders, and all through life he was a true, conscientious Christian man. He was a model husband, a kind and indulgent father, a loving neighbor, a true friend to everybody. His last illness was long and severe, but he never murmured or complained, but was resigned to the will of Him who doeth all things well. He died in the full triumph of a living faith and we believe is basking in the pure sunlight of heaven today. He was married to Eliza McKoun [McKown] in 1840. To this union seven children were born—William and Clara died in infancy, Mary J. [ane], John D. [avis], William F., Ed T. and Margaret Anna, live to mourn the loss of both father and mother.

Mahlon K. Jones was born in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, July 26, 1818; died in Clarinda, Oct. 4, 1898, aged 80 years, 2 months and 8 days.
He was an honest, upright man with all those words imply. He joined the Methodist church in 1840 and during the 58 years that he was a member, he exemplified the religion of the Savior he so loved and served in his everyday life. He served the church as trustee, steward, and class leader; and all through his life he was a true, conscientious Christian man. He was a model husband, a kind and indulgent father, an obliging neighbor, a good citizen and a true friend to everybody. His last illness was long and severe, but he never murmured or complained. He was perfectly resigned to the will of "Him who doeth all things well." He died in the full triumph of a living faith and, we believe, is living in the pure sunshine of heaven today.
He was married to Eliza McKoun [McKown] in 1848. To this union seven children were born, William H., Clara, Mary J. [ane] Hatfield, John D. [avis], William F., Edwin T. and Mrs. Maggie Weed. The first two died in infancy. The latter five live to mourn the loss of both father and mother, but will heed their Christian instructions so often given, strive to emulate their example and meet them in the sweet bye and bye.
The funeral services were held at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. J. [ohn] H. Hatfield, on east Main St., conducted by Rev. P. V. D. Vedder, of the M. E. church and was largely attended by friends and neighbors who had known him so long. The music was furnished by a male quartet composed of A. F. Galloway, H. R. Spry, C. L. Vance and J. D. Keener and was very appropriate and touching. The pall bearers were I. W. Abbott, J. R. Good, C. A. Lisle, H. Salsgiver, A. W. Greene, Wm. Black. The youngest son, Ed, was unable to be present at the services though he had visited him during his illness. Mrs. Weed and daughter arrived for the funeral and left for their home in Corning the same evening. After the friends were permitted to view the body, the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery on the hill to await the coming of Christ.    J.

Norman Russell. In Memoriam.
Sunday afternoon many friends repaired to the depot to meet Mr. and Mrs. W. [illiam] W. Russell, who arrived from Denver with the remains of their son, to be laid beside his little sister in our beautiful silent city.
Norman Russell was born near College Springs and when but a little child came with his parents to Clarinda, which was their home for many years.
A bright, active boy, studious and obedient at school, an attentive and interested Sabbath School scholar, he is well remembered by teachers and classmates. At the age [of] thirteen he met with an accident, an unfortunate blow upon the head which rendered him unconscious for hours and this was followed in a few months by epilepsy, so undermining his health as to make life almost a burden.
Dec. 19, 1895, he fell asleep to awake in the likeness of him who said, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." And what an awakening! The poor tired body, marred by disease and worn with suffering, to open its eyes in Glory Land, in that building of God, that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  [Poem not transcribed.]

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Walker, residing about two and one-half miles east of Clarinda, were called to mourn the loss of their little son, Earl, on the evening of Oct. 31. For several days Earl, complained much but nothing very serious was thought of until Friday, Oct. 25, when medical assistance was called. Typhoid fever was then fully developed in a very severe form, inflammation of the bowels developed almost from the starting of the fever, followed by a very severe form of peritonitis. All that medical skill could do was done without apparent effect upon the disease. Little Earl was 2 years and 4 days old, a great favorite of all who knew him. Very bright, for a child, always bringing sunshine wherever his presence was felt. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community.

[WOODMANSEE, CHARLES HERBERT]
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Tuesday, December 17, 1895
Last Saturday evening our peaceable town was startled by the sad news that Chas. Woodmansee had shot himself in his room at the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Woodmansee, in the southeast part of town. He had been acting very queerly for the past week and was thought by many to be insane at times. Last Tuesday afternoon he held his father and cousin under the muzzle of his 52 caliber Winchester while he made threats of taking their lives. He was arrested on the charge of assault and attempt to kill and brought before Mayor Pollock, who sent him to the insane commission at Clarinda. He was released by them and taken before Squire Prest. He was let out on bail, his father going his security. It appears that Saturday he asked his mother for poison, but she refused to let him have it. He then asked for his gun and being told where it was, he got it and put it together then took it to his room and shot it off several times. He then laid down on his bed on his left side and placing the muzzle of the gun to his bare bosom, pulled the trigger with a piece of board with a nail in it. The heavy ball passed through his heart causing instant death. The funeral services occurred Sabbath afternoon. He has for about six years it is thought had spells of insanity but was never until recently considered at all dangerous. His parents, who are two of our best citizens, have the sympathy of our entire community in the bereavement of the death of their only son.

[WOODMANSEE, CHARLES HERBERT]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, December 20, 1895
Shoots Himself. Charles H. Woodmansee Takes His Own Life at College Springs.
Charles H. [erbert] Woodmansee, age 32 years, single, committed suicide at about 5 o'clock p. m. last Saturday at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Woodmansee, adjoining College Springs on the south.
The deceased man had peculiar characteristics and is charged with not having been exactly in his right mind at different times within the past few years. He was quiet man, having little to say.
Friday morning, he went upstairs to his room at the home of his parents, where he locked himself in and remained until he killed himself, the next evening. He would not even admit his mother to his room and the food that she took to him, she had to leave outside the door, and when he knew by the sound of her footsteps that she had gone down stairs, he would open the door and take what she had left for him, then put the dishes outside the door, and lock himself in again. He had with him in the room his gun and revolver and a large amount of ammunition.
The manner of his death exhibited ingenuity, the discoveries after it making it apparent that he had lain on the left side of the bed, adjusting the Winchester by means of pillows on the bed, so that the weapon would discharge its contents directly into his heart. He had unbuttoned his vest and two shirts, baring his left breast for the fatal act. Having the Winchester propped as he wanted it, he pulled the trigger by means of a stick two and one-half or three feet long, through which he had driven a nail at one end to move the trigger. With this stick he pulled the trigger without moving his body or the weapon to interfere with the shot.
The shot instantly accomplished its mission, piercing the heart with such force as to divide one-half or more of it the doctors concluded.
A coroner's inquest was held early Sunday morning by Coroner N. L. Van Sandt and Sheriff Lewis Akin of Clarinda, with Clint Hobson and J. R. Prest of College Springs and John Bramble of Clarinda as jurors, and Dr. S. R. Millen of Clarinda as an expert medical witness. The verdict was in substance that the man had shot himself.
The deceased man had been before the commissioners of insanity of Page county Tuesday of last week on account of his conduct, but the evidence was so incomplete that the board was not warranted in committing him for treatment for insanity. Mr. Woodmansee lived in Clarinda for about three years and was employed more or less as a carpenter, in which trade he was an excellent workman. He was also a well-informed man, of more than average intelligence it is said and of good character.
