[APPLE, GUY T.]

Died of diphtheria, March 28, 1883, Guy, son of N. [ewton] R. [obert] and Lucy Apple, aged 2 years, 11 months and 28 days.
Little Guy is dead. What a mournful history these four words have, what a pang of sorrow sweeps over the hearts at the memory of the bereaved father and mother, whose jewel above price, has been laid beneath the silent tomb and who now walks with the angels in heaven; bright beautiful Guy, whose life reaches up but two years from its birth hour. How our hearts go out in sympathy for the lonely sister and brother. It was so pitiable to hear him calling mamma, mamma, until the last, imploring for help when no help was near. All that loving hands could do was done but to no avail and in deep despair they have laid him away till the bright morning of eternity. Who shall speak of the brightness on which the eyes of their darling has opened? Crowned and redeemed sits little Guy and we will meet him on that other bright shore. The loneliness that enters the home made desolate by the loss of a loving child, none can know except they too have had the trial. Little Guy was especially marked for his sweet disposition. His little cousins little thought when last at play with Guy that he was so soon to join the thousands of children who sing around the throne of God in Heaven, where sickness and sorrow is no more. It is well with the child. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community.

Lucy Arthur, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Arthur, died Saturday night September 20th, after a short illness with diphtheria. She was nearly eight years old. The suffering, though of short duration, was very intense. A number of friends followed the remains to their last resting place Monday forenoon.
Thursday morning Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Arthur were called to mourn the death of their little son Roscoe, who was a few years older than his sister Lucy. The funeral took place in the afternoon of the same day. It is sad for a father and mother to part with one of their little pets, but the grief is more than doubled when the angel of death carries two from one home in the same week.

Death of Henry Dorsey
Mr. Henry Dorsey died at his residence in this city on Wednesday last, the 18th inst., aged 50 years and four months. Mr. Dorsey was born in Vermont but removed to the west at an early age. He was an old and well-known citizen of this county. He was a member of Captain Burns' company in the 8thIowa cavalry during the war of rebellion and was discharged by reason of disability contracted in the line of duty. Mr. Dorsey was three times elected County Treasurer of this county, being succeeded in office by the present incumbent. The cause of his death, as revealed by a post-mortem examination conducted by Drs. Van Sandt and Cokenower, was the thickening or closing of the walls of the orifice leading from the stomach to the lower intestines, supposed to be the result of an injury received some years since. He was buried on Sunday last, from the M. E. Church, the services being conducted according to the rites of Free Masonry, of which organization Mr. Dorsey was a member.

Sufferings Ended
Last Saturday morning at his home in southwest Clarinda, W. [illiam] W. Gorrell, after a long and painful struggle, yielded to the assaults of his enemy, Death, and the mortal remains were placed in their last resting place Sunday afternoon. The funeral services were under the direction of the G. A. R., and a large number of his comrades were present. Rev. E. W. McDade preached a very interesting and appropriate sermon and Dr. T. C. Smith followed with an excellent eulogy of the deceased, in which especial mention was made of his army record.
W. [illiam] W. Gorrell was born on a farm in West Virginia, in 1834, and moved to Illinois with his parents when but a child. Early in life he united with the Methodist church and died a member of the same. He was married Nov. 15, 1860, to Miss Sarah J. Lyon, and there were born to them seven boys and two girls, of which three boys and one girl preceded the father to the other world. In 1864 he enlisted in Co. E, 42d Ills. Infantry and went immediately to Nashville and into active service and continued in it until the close of the war. While in the service he was afflicted with rheumatism and never fully recovered from it. He was a faithful soldier, a conscientious citizen, a faithful husband, a loving father and a kind neighbor. His living children were all at his bedside at the hour of dissolution. And so, one by one, the veterans are going.
The family desires to return thanks to friends and neighbors and the W. R. C. and G. A. R. for their assistance and sympathy given during the long illness of the husband and father.

Charles Edgar Griffey was the son of Peter A. and Duly Ann Griffey and was born in Tarkio Township of Page County Iowa in November 28, 1858 and after more than 71 years went from earth to heaven on March 3, 1930.

He was united in marriage to Miss Mary Belle Callicotte on March 19, 1878. Seven children were given to them, of whom one, Mrs. Harry Young, survives.
At a revival meeting held at a school house west of Clarinda many years ago, Mr. Griffey was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church of Clarinda, of which he has been a member of many years. A complete trust in Christ kept him faithful to the end. Two brothers and a sister are living—Lorenzo George of Wyoming; Hulin L. of Yorktown and Mrs. Mae Borland of Clarinda, Iowa. His widow, his daughter and son-in-law and their daughter, Marjorie, and the brothers and sister are deeply bereaved by his death.

Death of Blanche Kellar reminds of former cornet band and music life of father
Miss Blanche J Kellar [Keller], a former Clarinda teacher, whose father was an early band director, died Nov 21 at the Presbyterian Hospital in Denver, Colo. Her funeral was Tuesday in Denver with interment in the Fairmount Mausoleum, where the remains of her mother and sister rest.
She was the daughter of the professor of music in Clarinda near the turn of the century, according to the information supplied by Miss Mabel Searl at Johnston, Colo. He organized the men into what became known as the Burlington Band and the group took first place in a contest. Old timers remember the celebration for the returning group.
Mr Kellar [Keller] died when but a young man and the band purchased a cemetery lot in Clarinda in which their leader was placed. Mr. Keller played cornet, the instrument being kept by his daughters for these years and it is to be sent to the Clarinda Library to be placed in the historical room.

About 1909 the mother and two girls, Bessie and Blanche, moved to Denver. Both girls had taught in Clarinda and resumed their teaching in Denver. Without close relatives, Mrs. Lawrence Fulwiler of Denver has been more than a loyal friend of the former Clarindans.
The Kellars were active in the Presbyterian church, both in Clarinda and Denver.
[Note: The last name is spelled Keller on her Mausoleum vault.]

[KELLER, FREDERICK J.]
Page County Democrat (Clarinda, Iowa), Thursday, May 4, 1882, p. 3
DIED. – At his residence in Clarinda, on Friday, April 28, 1882, Prof. F. [rederick] J. Keller, aged 46 years.
He was born in Bavaria, Germany, and came to this country with his parents when sixteen years old, landing at the city of New York. From there he went to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and settled, and there he lived until 1878, when he came to Clarinda. In 1867 he was married to Miss Mary S. Sultz of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania and of the union there is two children—both girls. He came to this city as above stated and took charge of our band and during all this time has been the teacher and leader of the C. B. & Q Band. Through his talents and energy, the band has a national reputation. Prof. Keller as a composer of band music had no superior in the country; and today there is not a band in this broad land that does not use his music. He was one of those noble gentlemen whom to know was to love, one who could not have an enemy. He was kind and good in everything. No man will be more missed by all, but especially by our musicians, for he was always ready to assist them in any of their undertakings and they all loved and respected him. His music is published throughout the land. The Town and Country, of Jan. 1882, published at Boston, has this to say of him:
"Prof. Keller is widely known as one of the most prolific and accomplished composers and as a teacher he is also quite famous.
His works are probably the most popular of any now before American musicians. His "Standard," "Boss," "Champion," and "Excelsior" band books are owned by thousands of bands, and his compositions that have been published in sheet form are almost numberless. Prof. Keller is a high-toned honorable gentleman in every sense of the word and socially as well as musically he is much esteemed."
But notwithstanding he was one of our best and most useful citizens, just in the prime of life, Death, the Destroyer, who does not respect age or usefulness, laid his cold hand upon him and claimed him as his own. We with the whole town mourn his loss and sympathize with the heart-broken family who are thus forced to submit to the will and wisdom of Him that does all things for the best. The funeral took place at his late residence on Sabbath at 2:30 o'clock. The services were conducted by Rev. Malcolm. There were more people present than has been seen at a funeral here for a long time. His band was there and made good music and marched to the cemetery where his remains were laid to rest. Prof. Keller will ever be remembered by our people. Peace to his ashes.

Braddyville Items
A sad affair, resulting in the death of a little five-year-old son of Mr. Ralph Mason, living in Crooks, occurred on Sunday evening last, just north of uncle Pike Davison's. Two little boys, one five and the other seven years old, were playing on the bank of the river when the youngest lost his balance and fell backwards into the river, where the water is about six or seven feet deep. No one was near, and the oldest boy was unable to get his little brother out, but in trying to rescue him, he, too, fell into the water and it is a mystery how he escaped drowning. When he got to his mother, who was a short distance away, she was too excited to tell how he escaped. J. C. Hodgens, H. F. Pricket, and Wm. Hiles went into the water and in about two hours succeeded in finding the body in a drift, thirty or forty feet from where he had fallen in. He was buried the next day in the McClure grave yard, west of town.

Merrill and the remains were taken to the cemetery and there deposited in their last resting place. He leaves a mother and three brothers and a large circle of friends to mourn his loss.

A Sudden Death
We take the following from the Shenandoah Reporter:
From Dr. E. C. Whiting, one of our leading physicians, we learn of the sudden and unlooked for demise of Mr. John Moore, one of our highly respected farmers living some four miles southeast of this place. It seems that he about half past eleven o'clock last Monday morning, started to drive some cattle to the pasture, carrying a wrench in one hand and a hatchet in the other. A favorite dog accompanied him. In about a half an hour the cattle and dog came wandering back and his father-in-law, wondering about his long absence, and failure to pen up the cattle, went out in search of him. He was found near the pasture lying prone on the ground, dead, tightly clasping the wrench and hatchet in either hand. Dr. Whiting was summoned and carefully examined the body but found no bruises or marks of violence to indicate foul play. A coroner's inquest was held, Esq. Hodges presiding, and their verdict was that he came to his death by heart disease or apoplexy. He was about 30 years of age.

[PARK, OSCAR H.]
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa,) Thursday, June 1, 1911
A few minutes before the noon hour yesterday, the spirit of Oscar H. Park was released from its tenement of mortality and winged its flight to its eternal home. While it was not unexpected, the announcement of the death of Mr. Park came as a severe shock to his many friends for there was still a lingering hope that there might be a change that would give him a new lease on life. He had been in failing health for nearly three years, but until the last six months it was not thought by his friends that he was so soon to be called away. Until about six weeks ago he was able to be up and around and was down town frequently, but the last five weeks he was confined to the bed and the fatal disease, "pernicious Anaemia," which he had been fighting with heroic energy, very rapidly developed and resulted as above stated. During all the time he was failing he did not suffer serious pain but was oppressed with a degree of bodily weakness that was almost unbearable. His last hours were entirely free from pain and the spirit slipped away so quietly as to be almost unnoticed as there "was not a struggle of the body to indicate the great change that was taking place toy which O. H. Park was being transferred from earthly citizenship to that of heavenly. And so it is that Clarinda has lost a good citizen, the family has lost a loving husband and father, and his many friends have lost a loved companion. But the memory of his real self will be with us as a reality and the influence of his life will continue to be a factor in the lives of many people.

During the last two weeks of the illness two of Mr. Park's brothers were here to visit with him but the other two brothers who live in the far west were unable to come. During the last few days Mrs. T. G. Given a cousin, from Creston, has been here to help care for him.
That he fully realized the fact that the end was coming and that he was fully prepared for the great change was evidenced in many ways and by frequent testimony to his family and friends. The writer spent Monday night with him and was deeply impressed with some of the things he said as he lay in a sort of delirium but most by a remark he made several times "They have it arranged for me to go Wednesday afternoon and it is all right, for there is no use for me to stay here any longer." This thought was brought out in various expressions and it now seems to have been an impression of coming events that were casting their shadows before. That same evening, he said goodbye to his wife and members of the family, and who knows but what he was catching glimpses of the beyond?
Mr. Park was born in lowaville, a small town in Van Buren county, Iowa, April 18, 1853, and grew up in the home of his parents, Aaron and Margaret Park. The parents came to Iowa in 1843 and so had the pioneer experiences incident to the times. After completing the common school course, Oscar attended the High School in Keokuk, after which he took up the study of photography with an artist in Ottumwa. In the fall of 1874 he opened a gallery in Clarinda and continued in the business until about four years ago. During the years he was in the business he established a reputation as an artist that was enviable and won a wide circle of friends because of his honest perfectly fair dealing with all his customers.
Mr. Park was married October 4, 1880 to Miss Mary Kittle, who is left to mourn the loss of a true lover, husband and companion, one child was born to them, Herman, and he was spared to them only one year and ten months. When the home was so lonesome and desolate from the loss of the precious baby boy, they adopted a niece who was at the time about the age of the lost one and she has been the light of the home during all these years and is now Mrs Mabel Bagnall, the wife of Arthur G. Bagnall, and the mother of little Mary, two and a half years old. Mr Park was especially fond of the little grandchild and during his illness spent a great deal of his time with her.
Mr Park was a member of the city council for several years and was a citizen who was always ready to do his part in the work of building up the town. He was an active and liberal member of the Methodist church and a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen. He was associated with the Current Events Club, whose meetings he greatly enjoyed. The funeral services will be conducted by Dr Stevenson, the pastor of the Methodist church, tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock, at the family home, corner of 18th and Clark streets.

[RAWLINGS, ROBERT MADDOX]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, April 7, 1899, p. 8
Robert Maddox Rawlings, one of the best-known men of this locality, died at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at his home in this city, aged 62 years, after a comparatively short illness. He had but recently moved here from Hawleyville and engaged in the livery business as the successor of John Bramble. The late Mr. Rawlings was born in Ogle County, Ill., Feb. 7, 1837 and came with his parents to Clinton county, Iowa, Jan. 15, 1843. In 1851 he went to California and five years later located in Page county, Ia. The rest of his family had preceded him here two years. He settled near Hawleyville. In 1859 he married Julia Cunning of Page county. Three children were born to them, two of whom are living, Clarence of this city, and Mrs. Katherine Strong of Humansville, Mo. three brothers and two sisters also survive: Luke of Hawleyville, Washington of Medford, Ore., Mrs. Emiline Goudy of Clarinda, Benjamin east of this city, and Miss Mary Rawlings of Hawleyville. His wife died June 13, 1882. He remarried Feb. 19, 1884, Sarah J. Pendergraft becoming his second wife. She survives him. No children were born of this union. His military record follows in the tribute succeeding this paragraph.
The following deserved tribute to the memory of Mr. Rawlings was written by one of his comrades and read at the funeral by George Ferris, the commander of Warren post, G. A. R.:
"Robert M. Rawlings enlisted in Co. C, Berry's battalion, Thirteenth Missouri cavalry, attached to the Twenty-fifth Missouri Infantry, in the fall of 1861. He was mustered out by general order of the war department, Feb. 2, 1862. He re-enlisted in the company recruited by G. W. Burns, July 25, 1863. At the organization of the company he was appointed orderly sergeant and acted in that capacity until mustered out at the close of the war. He was a faithful and efficient officer, careful in all the detail pertaining to his station, kind and considerate, ever ready to share the cares and alleviate the misfortunes of his fellow soldiers. As an officer he was brave, discreet and vigilant; as a man generous, genial and unselfish. Duty with him was almost a passion. He cared little for the rewards. He was actuated by intense patriotism, by an ardent devotion to the flag and all it represented. His counsel and advice was sought alike by commissioned officer and enlisted soldier. He was quick to perceive, ready to act and strong to execute. Reared among the common people, accustomed to labor, without the advantages of educational training, he was almost a genius in military matters. Who knows what earth needs from earth's lowest creatures: No life can be pure in its purpose and strong in its strife and all life not be pure and stronger thereby."
The funeral of Mr. Rawlings was held this morning at 10 o'clock from the home on Fifteenth street and was conducted by Warren post No. 11, G. A. R. the burial was in the Rawlings cemetery east of this city.

Obituary – Robert Rawlings, who recently moved to Clarinda from near Hawleyville, was taken sick about two weeks ago with a complication of diseases, and died last Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock. He was aged 62 years, 1 month and 27 days. Funeral services were held at the home south of the square at ten o'clock this morning, conducted by Warren Post G. A. R., and the body was interred in the Rawlings cemetery east of town.
Mr. Rawlings was born in Ogle county, Illinois, on February 7, 1837. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Rawlings, who were of French descent. The family came to Clinton county, Iowa in 1843. Nine years later the boy Robert went to California to search for gold. When he returned, in 1857, his family had moved to Page county and here he has made his home ever since. He was married in 1861 to Miss Julia Cunning, daughter of Alex Cunning, who was also one of the early settlers of the county. Three children were born to them. One, a daughter, died in infancy, and the other two, Mrs. Catharine Strong, of southern Missouri, and Clarence, of this county, are still living. When the war broke out Mr. Rawlings enlisted and served in a Missouri regiment until changes were made in the organization, when he returned to Page county and joined Company A, of the Eight Iowa Cavalry, which was then being organized. He was mustered in as first sergeant and served until the close of the war, coming out as second lieutenant. He was in the Army of the Cumberland and was in some of the fiercest battles of the war. Since the war he has lived in this county, enjoying the fruits of his labor and the respect and esteem of his neighbors. A few years ago, he bought the old farm, near Hawleyville on which his brother Washington first settled in 1854. A few weeks ago he traded a part of this farm to John Bramble for the livery barn here in town. He was engaged in running the barn at the time of his death. Of his brothers, three are still living—Washington, Benjamin and Luke. His wife also survives him and to her and her children, the community extends most heartfelt sympathy. Mr. Rawlings was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist church, but it was impossible for the Elder to be present at the funeral, so the Grand Army took entire charge.

Mrs. Sarah Jane Rawlings – The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Jane Rawlings was held this morning at 10 o'clock at the Harmon funeral home. The services were conducted by the Rev. J. A. Burns. Interment was in Oak Grove cemetery beside her husband, Robert Rawlings.
Mrs. Rawlings maiden name was Sarah Jane Jones. She was born in Tennessee, Oct. 7, 1841. Her parents were Samuel and Hannah (Ellmore) Jones. In 1842 they moved to Keokuk county, Iowa. The subject of this writing was left an orphan at an early age. She came with her uncle, Johnson Jones, to Clarinda in 1858. The next year on Dec. 24, Christmas eve, she became the bride of Wilson Pendergraft. To them were born six children, only three of whom are living. The surviving children are Alti [Artie] Pendergraft of Worland, Wyo.; John Pendergraft of Richland, and Mrs. Amanda Edmonds, wife of C. N. Edmonds of this city. Those who have gone before were James, who died in 1882 when a young lad; Mrs. Minnie Hartman who died in New Market and Mrs. Ella Rawlings who died in Chickasha, Okla. Both these daughters passed away a number of years ago. Mr. Pendergraft died in Cameron, Mo. in April of 1881. In February of 1884 Mrs. Pendergraft married Robert Rawlings. At the time of his death, April 4, 1899, they were living in Clarinda. Shortly after this Mrs. Rawlings came to live with her daughter, Mrs. Edmonds, who has devotedly cared for her during the years since then. She has been an invalid practically most of the time since living with her daughter. New Year's Eve she became confined to her bed and gradually became weaker until the end came, Tuesday about 11:30 a. m. Not being able to get around the house, Mrs. Rawlings devoted much of her time to knitting, needlework and crocheting, notwithstanding the fact that several of her fingers were useless. During the late war she made many beautiful knitted garments for those who were serving their country. Mrs. Rawlings was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist faith. She and Mr. Rawlings were among the charter members of that church in Clarinda. Most of the life of Mrs. Rawlings was spent in Clarinda and vicinity, though at short periods she lived in other states. Besides the children mentioned Mrs. Rawlings leaves twenty-five grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren. She will be missed in her home and by her relatives and many friends, especially by the daughter and family with whom she lived so long.

DIED. Mrs. May J. Richards, of Braddyville, on the 10th inst., aged 37 years.
She was one of our noblest women, with a kind heart, ready to render assistance to the afflicted and relieve suffering humanity as far as was in her power; one of the kindest of neighbors and beloved by all who knew her, yet taken away in the prime of life. She was an affectionate daughter, having had the care of her aged parents for some years past, whom she treated with the tenderest of care; a loving wife and tender mother. She leaves a husband and three children and her large circle of friends to mourn her loss. May her spirit ever rest on the sunny shore of eternal bliss in that beautiful clime from whence no traveler ever returns.     J. G. Williams

He was one of the bright young boys of our city—one that but a few months ago bid fair to grow into a useful man; but disease seized him and for several months has been gradually taking away his life. His suffering has been great, and of course it is a relief to him to be taken to the better land where he will await the coming of those behind. To the heart-broken family the sympathy of all our people is extended to them in this hour of bereavement. The funeral was held at their residence on Wednesday. The remains were taken to the cemetery and there laid to rest and to await the awakening when all will unite, and sickness and sorrow will not enter.

DIED – At his residence in Hawleyville on Saturday night, the 24th inst., Dr. G. [eorge] H. Rumbaugh, aged fifty-three years, one month and fourteen days.
For a few years the doctor has been in poor health, having had a stroke of paralysis, but he had been getting better and all thought he was going to recover. He was in our city a few days before his death and looking well, and he said to us that he was fast recovering. Saturday night he attended the meeting of the Odd Fellows and appeared to be as well as usual but just before the close he was stricken down. He was taken home and soon expired—never speaking after he was attacked. The doctor was a native of Pennsylvania and was born the 19th day of April 1829. He was a graduate of the University of the city of New York and practiced for a time in his native state. In 1858 he came to Iowa and settled in Hawleyville where he lived until his death. He was one of the pioneer physicians of the county and always took an active part in all matters that went to build it up. At the commencement of the war he entered the army and served for some time as a surgeon. In 1864 he was married to Miss Martha A. Thompson of Pennsylvania and she with two children, survive him and mourn his loss. He was energetic in all things; a fine scholar; well-read and had liberal views. He was firm, generous and true and this always brought many true and kind friends around him, who will mourn his loss and miss him daily in their town. The bereaved family have the sympathy of all who knew the doctor. He was buried Monday by the Odd Fellows of his city, but we have none of the particulars. On account of high water no one was able to go over from this city.
