Lon Cunning – Known to thousands of people in this vicinity, through having been proprietor of a livery stable when such places of business were in vogue, the funeral of Lon Cunning was held Sunday afternoon, the remains being laid to rest in Old Memory cemetery near New Market. Mr. Cunning passed away in a hospital in Omaha, where he had been taken for an operation.
Death was due to uremic poisoning due to enlargement of the prostate gland, which caused the kidneys to cease functioning. The operation relieved him but could not remove the cause of the disease.
The funeral services Sunday were held in the Harmon Funeral Home, where the remains were taken upon being brought home from Omaha Friday evening. The Christian minister Jas. A. Burns had charge of the services, music being furnished by the Methodist quartette.
Obituary – Mr. Cunning's full name is Alonzo Sanford Cunning, born about three and one-half miles southeast of Clarinda on a farm on May 21, 1856. Son of William and Ruth Cunning, who were among the earliest three families settling in Page County.
Married December 27, 1883 to Anna Hiatt, daughter of Columbus and Martha Hiatt, early settlers of Taylor County—all coming here from Ohio and all of these original families having passed on.
The only child born to this union was Pearl Estell, now Mrs. McManama.
He died at Lord Lister Hospital, Omaha, Nebraska, November 30, 1923. The kindest of husbands and a most loving and beloved father, Mr. Cunning had been in poor health for the last year and had been confined to his bed for the last four weeks. A few days ago, it became advisable to remove him to Omaha for treatment and he was taken there by his daughter, Pearl, but despite the best efforts of his physicians and surgeons among the best in the city, the stealthy messenger of death overtook him.
Surviving him are his wife and his daughter Pearl and his grandson Loren, the latter two of Omaha. Also, his brothers, Hiram Cunning and Frank Cunning of New Market; his sisters, Mrs. Mead Davidson of Shambaugh, Iowa and Mrs. L. T. Rawlings of Sheridan, Wyoming, besides numerous nieces and nephews and hosts of friends.

To this union one child, a daughter, Pearl, was born. Since the death of her husband, she has made her home in Omaha with her daughter, Mrs. Pearl McManama and grandson, Loren.
Four years ago this March Mrs. Cunning was stricken with apoplexy and for a time her life hung by a thread; she rallied however and since then she has been a patient invalid. Everything that loving hands could do was done for her comfort.
About 18 months ago she went to Kansas City, Mo., to visit her sister, Mrs. C. T. Andrew. While there she was again stricken and never resumed strength sufficient to return home. For the past year she has been cared for in a private hospital, from which place she departed this life at 8:50 a. m., Oct. 10, 1928, aged 70 years, 5 months and 6 days.

Ruth Chandler Cunning, wife of William Cunning who died only a short time ago, died at her home in this city last Monday, May 7, at 9:30 a. m., of paralysis. She was aged 79 years, 8 months and 6 days. Funeral services were held from the Christian church on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock p. m. conducted by the pastor, Rev. Clemmer. Interment was made in the Clarinda cemetery.
Ruth Chandler Cunning was born in Marion county, Ohio, on September 1, 1820. On June 3, 1841, she was married to William Cunning and for nearly sixty-five years she shared the struggles of pioneer life and the peaceful rest of repining years with him. Nine children were born to them, six sons and three daughters. One of the sons, Henry C., fell during the Civil war; the others are living. In 1862 Mrs Cunning became a member of the Christian church and in 1891 she joined the branch of that church in this city. She has ever been a faithful and true member. Her life was a quiet, patient one, she being faithful to her home life and uncomplaining in suffering. Ten days ago, she was stricken with paralysis and though she had the loving ministry of her own children, she went to the land where her husband preceded her only two months ago. The may friends extend sympathy to the stricken family.

Ruth Chandler Cunning was born in Marion county, O., Sept. 1, 1820; died at her home in Clarinda, Ia., Monday, May 7, 1900, at 9:30 a. m., aged 79 years, 8 months, 6 days. June 3, 1841, she was married to William Cunning, whose faithful helpmate she was for nearly sixty years; in joy and sorrow; in abundance and privation; amid the early struggle of pioneer life in Iowa and in the settled security of the peacefulness of ripening years and the home which the good God gave them as the result of patient toil. Hers was the motherhood of nine children—the crown of womanhood's rejoicing—six sons and three daughters. Of these she gave one, Henry C. at call of country, as a sacrifice to her need, the others remain to bear tribute of her faithful love and endeavor in the Christian nurture of true character. In 1862 she became by the adoption through Christ, a child of God; a member of the Christian church and on April 26, 1891, with her husband, joined the church at Clarinda, in which, until the day of her going over, she lived in all faithfulness the Christian life. Hers was by nature, the quiet, unassuming, retired life. Shrinking much from public gaze and public service, she lived in the bosom of her family. Patient in tribulation, uncomplaining in suffering, quiet in the restfulness of her faith, she lived the life. She was stricken with paralysis ten days ago, in which she sank into a semi-unconscious state from which she never recovered. Her daughters cared for her tenderly. Only three months ago her lifelong companion was taken hence. She had lived with him the years, she had watched with him in the vigils of the night, she had soothed him in his last hours of suffering, and unable to attend the last services in the church, she watched them carry him out of the home. As she gazed, it seemed wistfully knowing perhaps that it would be but "a little while, and I will be with you." She might have said:
"Only Good Night, beloved, and not farewell, 
A little while and all his saints shall dwell
    In hallowed union indivisible:
                      Good night.
"Until we meet again before His throne,
Clothed in the spotless robe He gives his own,
      Until we know even as we are known:
                       Good night."
And now, faith has become fruition. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, W. B. Clemmer, at the Christian church, Tuesday, May 6, at 2 o'clock p. m. Her body was borne by tender hands to our silent city to await the resurrection morn.      W. B. C.

[CUTLER, JAY]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Thursday, September 10, 1925, p. 13
Northboro, Sept. 7 --- Jay Cutler was born in Williamsville, New York April 1, 1849, and passed away at his home two and one-half miles northeast of here on Sept 4, 1925, at the age of 76 years, 5 months and 4 days. After the death of his father, which occurred when he was two years of age, his mother brought him to Crete, Ill, where he spent his early boyhood. When but sixteen he came to Iowa and it was upon the wild prairies of Iowa that he grew to manhood. While still a very young man he drove a stage coach from Manti to Clarinda, which was the only way of conveying the mail at that time. Many an interesting tale he told of how he braved the terrible blizzards which used to sweep the plains of Iowa, such as only the early settlers know about. At the age of 25 he came to Page county to break prairie. While thus engaged he saw the opportunity to buy the piece of land which is his home today. For fifty years he has tilled this land, changing it from a piece of virgin prairie into a productive farm. About four years after the purchase of his home he married Miss Lucinda Hekathone [Heckathorn], who has indeed been a faithful partner and help in all the toil and hardships which an early settler had to endure. They have been married 47 years the 4th of October and are the parents of five children, two sons and three daughters, all of whom are living and were present to pay the last respect to their father. Mr. Cutler was quiet and unassuming in his manner but deep and sincere in his feelings and unquestionable in his habits. He possessed the sturdy qualities which so many of our early settlers possess, ambition, determination, bravery and love for a home. It is a deep debt of gratitude which the present generation owe to the passing generation such as Mr. Cutler represents. It is they who blazed the western trail, endured the hardships that are necessary in the development of a new country. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home, conducted by Rev. F.L. Shepherd, who delivered a splendid address. A mixed quartette, Mesdames R. L. Scott and A. A. Pike and Messrs. Guy Swartz and W. W. Creal sang some of his favorite songs. Interment was made in the Elmwood cemetery at Coin. The entire community extend sympathy to the bereaved family.

From the Field home at the age of nineteen she married Jay Cutler. The two young people settled on a farm which has since been their home. It was the development of this piece of virgin soil into a modern farm home which gave her life long happiness. There was always a flower garden blooming around her door and plants to adorn her window.

Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Thursday, December 6, 1923, p. 12
Mrs. Catherine B. Koons – Catherine B. [oyd] Smith was born in Boston, Mass., Sept. 20, 1851. In the fall of 1853 her parents moved to Sullivan County, Missouri, where Miss Smith spent her girlhood days. On May 23, 1875 she was united in marriage to B. F. Koons at Milan, Mo. After spending seven years of their married life in the vicinity, they moved to Clarinda, Iowa, arriving in the spring of 1882. The following fall they moved to Shenandoah, Iowa. After a few years there they moved to Red Oak, Iowa where they lived until about three years ago when they moved to their farm northeast of New Market, Iowa.
She became ill on Sept. 3, 1923, and though she would have days in which she seemed to feel better, yet she never made any material improvement. She lingered till 10 o'clock Saturday evening, December 1, 1923. Thirteen weeks of patient suffering which at times was almost unbearable. She was 72 years, 2 months, 11 days old.
She leaves of her immediate relatives her husband, one son, Charles S. of New Market, three grandchildren, Mildred of Creston, Iowa, Daryle Edwin and Harold Victor both of New Market, two brothers, J. G. Smith of Portland, Oregon George S. Smith of Torrington, Wyoming, two sisters, Mrs. Ellison of California and Mrs. C. E. Bookout of Green City, Missouri. A son and a daughter preceeded her in death.
In young girlhood she acknowledged her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and wherever she lived sought to do her best in the church. She was a member of the congregation of the church of Christ at Clarinda and whenever it was possible she was in the worship and by every means at her command, supported the work of the church. Her religion took a practical turn and her deeds were the badge of her profession. She was always seeking to do the little kindly deeds that make life worthwhile and lift the burden from the shoulders of those with whom she lived. She was a good neighbor, and many will rise up to testify of her kindness and thoughtful service. Perhaps in her home was her finest ability shown. In managing, in example, in words and in hearty inspiration, she was a moving spirit. It is a fine token when those who know one best think best of him and this is the case with Mrs. Koons. That she will be missed is not saying all that might be indicated by that statement. Not only will her presence be missed, but her words of counsel and her wholesome example. But she had so indelibly impressed her life upon those who knew her that no doubt it will not be possible, were one so inclined, to escape the influence of her life.
The funeral service was held from the home, northeast of New Market, Wednesday, the funeral sermon being given by Rev. Jas. A. Burns, Christian minister at Clarinda. Interment was in Shenandoah.

And we shall hear his voice no
      more
    Who was so brave and clean
       and true.
We shall not hear upon the door 
    the friendly tap we knew.

It seems for such a little while
     His presence made our joys
         complete.
Now we shall miss his gentle smile
     when next we meet.

So happy was his parting word,
     "I'm all right now," he bravely
         said.
But in the night God's voice he
         heard
     and home his spirit fled.

The pain is gone. He sleeps today
      Beneath love's feeble gift of
          flowers.
"He's all right now!" we strive
        to say,
      But, oh, what loss is ours!    -- E A Guest

Mrs. Eva V. [alera] Rankin, who with her family went to Garnett, Kan. about three months ago, in ill health, died Sunday morning, the 20th inst., at Lamar, Col., where herself and husband went a few weeks previously, in hopes that her health would be benefited by the change of climate. She seemed to improve in Colorado and in a letter received here by J. H. Rankin, from her husband, a few hours before her death, told how much better she was. The next information was conveyed in two telegrams—the first indicating her decline and the second, soon afterwards, telling of her demise. Mrs. Rankin was the only child of Captain and Mrs. T. [homas] M. [itchell] Hamilton of Garnett, Kan., formerly of Iowa. Her father was a captain in the Union regiment of which Congressman W. P. Hepburn of Clarinda was colonel. She was married to Rev. I. [saac] C.[rawford] Rankin, July 3, 1891, at Lawrence, Kan., and soon afterward came to Clarinda, with her husband, where the latter was the pastor of the United Presbyterian church until last June. Mrs. Rankin was a faithful, consistent Christian and a member of the religious organization in which her husband served as minister. Her health was poor last winter and early in the spring became critical. She died of quick consumption. Two children, with their father, survive her. The former are Kate, age a little over 3 years and Mary, age about 9 months. The mother was about 27 years of age. She was born Oct. 4, 1869, in Andrew, Jackson county, Ia. She was conscious to the last, making all arrangements and sending messages to all friends, and to her two little ones that she so longed to see again. Her life was gentle and her end sublime. She was buried at Garnett, Kan., her old home, all the city pastors assisting. The floral tributes were beautiful and many of them were sent from Clarinda. The excellent lady left many friends in Clarinda and vicinity who will greatly miss her and who join in sincere sympathy with the bereaved husband, father and pastor, and who mourn with him in his severe affliction.

The many Clarinda friends of Mrs. I. [saac] C. [rawford] Rankin will regret to learn of her death, which occurred last Sabbath at Lamar, Col. The lady has for several months been afflicted with that dread disease—consumption—and it was for the purpose of improving her health that Rev. Rankin and wife had gone to Colorado. The funeral will take place at Garnet, Kas., their old home, and obituary will appear in Friday's issue.

Eva O. Rankin was born Oct. 4, 1896 in Andrew, Jackson county, Ia. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hamilton, she being the only child. Her father, Captain Hamilton, was an officer in Col. Hepburn's regiment and a well-known citizen of eastern Iowa. The family moved to Garnet, Ka., October 1884. She was married at Lawrence, Kan., July 3, 1891, to I. [saac] C.[rawford] Rankin and accompanied her husband to Clarinda July 4.
Her health began to fail the latter part of the winter and about May 1, lung trouble appeared and it was thought best to take her to the former home in Kansas, where for a time she seemed to improve but it was only for a short time and it was again decided to take her to Colorado. August 26th, her husband accompanied her to LeMar. For a time the pure air put new life in the frail body but a change came with the chilling winds of autumn and in the early gray of the morning of Sept. 20th, she sank peacefully in the Saviour's loving arms and they crossed the tired hands upon her gentle breast and the poor wasted form was at rest. She was conscious to the last, making all arrangements and sending messages to all friends and to the little ones she so longed to see before she went. Her life was gentle, and her end was sublime and though we longed to look into her sweet face once more, yet we know it was the will of Him who loved her more than we. She was buried at Garnett, Kas., all the city pastors assisting. The floral tributes were beautiful, many being sent from Clarinda.
