Funeral Services Sunday For Another Early Pioneer
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Presbyterian church for Mrs. A. S. Bracken, not quite 64 years of age, brought from her late home in DeSoto, Kans., for interment in the family lot of Clarinda cemetery. The pastor, Rev. A. B. Thutt conducted the services, music being furnished by the Presbyterian quartet and organist. The pallbearers were John Douthit, Allen Davison, Ed Davison, Elmer Nelson, Henry Annan and E. U. Smith.
Ida Kennedy was born November 24th, 1864 in Pekin, Ill. When nine years of age she moved with her mother to Hawleyville, residing until 14 years of age, when she moved to Clarinda. Here she attended the public schools and grew to womanhood.
In the year of 1882 she was united in marriage to Albert S. Bracken, and the couple established their home in Clarinda, later moving on a farm about three miles north of Clarinda, later moving two miles east of town where they lived until 1898, when they moved to Kansas City. After residing there for about nineteen years, they moved to a farm near DeSoto, Kansas, where they have since resided. To this union three children were born, namely Pearl T., Ruby, a daughter who passed away when three years and six months of age and Arty.
In early life she united with the Presbyterian Church of Clarinda. After moving to Kansas City, she united with the Presbyterian Church of Westport, Mo., also attending the Baptist Church while living in Kansas City.
Mrs. Bracken was operated upon in the month of July this year and altho everything was done to aid in her recovery she quietly passed away at nine thirty on the eve of September 6th. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, giving her all in the interests of her family and caring for their welfare above all else in this life.
She leaves to mourn her departure, beside her loving husband, her two sons, four grandchildren, two cousins, one uncle and a great number of friends, both here and in Kansas City and DeSoto, Kansas, who will greatly miss her.
She has erected a monument to her memory in the hearts of her loved ones which will endure, and which will beckon them on to that better home not made with hands.

At Rest – Many of our readers will remember Dr. H. [ans] C. Brandt, who for many years made his home here, but who left here about twelve years ago to make his home in Kansas City. Dr. Powers received a letter Monday from a friend in Kansas City stating that Dr. Brandt died April 9 and was buried the next day. Dr. Brandt was a very close friend of Dr. Barrett and from him we gleaned a few facts concerning the deceased. He was born in Norway of wealthy parents and educated in the best schools of the country. He also took a course in the medical college of Paris and was thoroughly equipped for the successful practice of the profession. He served as surgeon in the Danish navy, but left it to come to this country, landing in Ohio in 1834. About two years later he located in Jackson county, Indiana and for many years held a very large practice and accumulated considerable wealth. In 1854 he came to Page county and entered several hundred acres of land and practiced his profession. For several years he divided his time between here and Seymour, Indiana, but finally sold all his real estate here and then located in Kansas City, where he was very successful in his real estate speculations and died leaving quite a large fortune. He was never married, and the nearest relative is a niece living in Chicago. Dr. Barrett says that he was one of the most competent surgeons and physicians he has ever known and although he was peculiar, even eccentric, he was a true friend, honest and sympathetic.

[CLARK, MARY EVANS]

Obituary – Mary Evans Clark died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Martha Clark, of this city, of paralysis, aged 83 years, 6 months and 24 days.
She was born June 25th, 1809; was married to Lebbens [Lebbeus]  Clark in Washington Co., Pa., Dec. 27th,1827, and died Jan. 19th, 1893.
Ten children called her "mother," all of whom lived to become men and women.
In 1884 her husband died, the first death in the family, since which, one of the children has also passed into the unknown. Four sons and five daughters still survive, although widely scattered.
She made a profession of religion early in life and was, with her husband, for many years a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in whose communion she died.
They came to Iowa in 1860 and made their home at Mr. Hamill's in Lee county, until Mr. Clark's death. She has made her home with her daughter in this city since last March.
Jan. 3d she suffered a stroke of paralysis which left her right side paralyzed. Gradually the disease made deeper inroads until the night of the 19th when the soul took its flight.
Her son Isaac, of York, Neb., has been in constant attendance, helping to care for her.
Age and its consequent infirmities had deprived her of strength sufficient to go about and her life became as simple and dependent as a child's.
She never lost her interest in her children, or her Savior and cherished her affection for them and her faith in Him, to the very last.
Friday afternoon the funeral services were held at the home, after which they were born eastward to lie by the side of him with whom she had lived for more than half a century, in the quiet churchyard at Sharon Church.
In the absence of the pastor, Rev. R. R. Westcott officiated, the services being simple but impressive.
Many kind friends aided in the last illness and their loving offers are held in tender memory.

He gradually grew worse until his death, which occurred very unexpectedly to the family. He joined the M. E. church about three years ago and was a very earnest Christian worker.

[EARHART, SAMUEL A.]
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Wednesday, June 7, 1893
Died. At the home of his brother, one half miles west of Page Center, Iowa, May 24, at 3:40 p. m., of Erysipelas, Samuel A., son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Earhart.
The deceased was born near College Springs, Ia., April 15, 1874 and lived there all his life. He was converted while in his 16th year and united with the M. E. Church of College Springs. Those who witnessed the conversion and have known him since never had occasion to doubt his sincerity. He was ever an earnest and consistent Christian. When once convinced of right and duty, he was never known to swerve. He lived a life of faith and prayer and was true to his convictions, no matter what the opposition. He intended to be a minister of the gospel. His heart was in the missionary work and he longed for the time to come when he might be able to carry the Gospel of light and liberty to those who are in heathenish darkness. In order to prepare himself for active Christian service he entered Simpson College last September but was only permitted to attend school about six months.
April 5, he took down with a severe attack of erysipelas, but with good care, was soon able to be about. April 15, he returned to Page Center and his health steadily improved for about 3 weeks, then he took down with a fever that was not considered at all dangerous. He was just recovering from this when the erysipelas set in and he died in a few hours.
He bore his trials with great resignation. When asked if he thought he would get over his sickness he replied, "I don't know. If it is the Lord's will for me to die, I am ready. If he wants me to get well it is all right."
The family miss the loved one and feel that there is a vacancy in their heart and home which cannot be filled, but God's grace is sufficient for them, and they can take comfort in the thought that just over the river he is waiting for them.
"When we all meet at home in the morning,
On the shore of that bright crystal sea,
With the loved ones who long have been waiting,
What a meeting indeed that will be!"

All are members of the U. P. church at College Springs. Mrs. F. has been ailing for some time and took a trip to Scotland last summer. She passed away in a peaceful sleep—without a sigh, without a pain. Early in life she gave her heart to the Saviour, joined the U. P. church and has lived a consistent Christian life. At the last she expressed a wish that she might have the pleasure of meeting all her friends in Heaven. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."

End Came to Two Early Residents of Hawleyville
Final Summons for Mrs. C. J. Hinman and Mrs. A. S. Bracken. Lived Here Over 50 Years
"Earth to earth and dust to dust" were the words pronounced Sunday at Clarinda cemetery for two former Page county residents, Mrs. C. J. Hinman and Mrs. A. S. Bracken, whose early days were spent in Hawleyville; at the time that was quite a village and Clarinda was just starting. Mrs. Hinman came to Hawleyville 72 years ago, Mrs. Bracken 50 years ago. Both later moved to Clarinda.
Mrs. Hinman passed away Sept. 8th in Omaha, where she has been making her home, the remains being brought to the Pruitt mortuary in Clarinda, where services were held early Sunday afternoon, conducted by her Methodist pastor, Dr. David J. Shenton and attended by many who have known "grandma" Hinman for so many years and learned to love her. Those who helped to carry the casket to its last resting place in Clarinda cemetery were J. Ren Lee, Warren Stevens, Wm. E. Short, Orville Greene, Wilbur Day and Forney Ammons. Music was furnished by Mrs. Vera Slocum and Margaret Tomlinson.
Mrs. Hinman fittingly represented our early pioneers in this country, her maiden name being Cornelia Jane Wikel, born April 28th, 1836 in Amanda, Ohio, her parents before that having moved from Pennsylvania. When the little girl was thirteen years of age the family again moved westward, this time to Illinois, making the long journey by water, on the canal to Cincinnati, then down the Ohio river to where it joins the Mississippi and up the Mississippi to the Illinois River, then up the Illinois River to Peoria, where her father engaged in his trade of cabinet making until his death.
In County 75 Years
Sept. 21st, 1856 she was married to Charles S. Hinman, the young couple starting a few days later for Iowa, settling in Hawleyville. Eleven people formed the party in this overland trip, two coming ahead in a single buggy to make arrangements for reception of the others, who followed in the double carriage with wagons and teamsters bringing the household furniture that were deemed necessary to the early pioneers of 72 years ago. Eleven days were required to make the trip. One night they stopped at a small farm house that had only one bed; but were invited to accept what hospitality the place had to offer, the party sleeping on the floor of one room, rolling up in their blankets, for the night was cool. The sleepers reached from one end of the room to the other. Charles S. Hinman and his bride built them a one room cabin on a claim they took up from the government; but tiring from the howling of the wolves, moved back to Hawleyville, later buying a farm nearby and building a small house there. In those early days sociability often consisted of having a neighborhood dance, taking out the bed and stove from the house and having a fiddle for music; the party replacing the bed and stove before leaving for home. One baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Hinman there, did not live; a daughter, Hattie May, coming to gladden the home Oct. 5th, 1858. In 1860 Mr. Hinman went to Pikes Peak to engage in mining but had an accident and returned to Hawleyville. In the early days of the Civil War, Mr. Hinman answered the call of his country, serving with the 11th Mo. Cavalry for three years and rising to 2nd lieutenant. After the war they took up life again on the little Hawleyville farm, the first daughter passing away there, but the home was blessed with the advent of another daughter, Minnie Bell, in 1864, in 1867 another daughter, Annie Wikel Hinman, and in 1872 a son, Royal Grandison Hinman.
In 1872 the family left Hawleyville, moving to the then thriving town of Clarinda, Grandma Hinman having thus lived here 52 years. One daughter is living, Mrs. Charles Lueder of Cherokee, also the son Roy of Omaha. For many years Mrs. Hinman has lived at her little home, corner S. 16th Street and Grant, Clarinda, a good neighbor and loved by all who knew her, until just a few months ago, when she was not able longer to live alone. She fitly represents the early pioneers who are just passing off the stage.

Late Mrs. C. J. Hinman of Clarinda Came to Hawleyville in 1856—Husband's Carriage Works Building Still Stands
From family records The Journal has been furnished a life history of the late Mrs. C. J. Hinman, who lived for many years in Clarinda and who passed away a short time ago in Omaha and was laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery.
The writer is Mrs. O. H. Barrass, formerly May Irene Burrows. She was in Washington, D. C., for many years where she held a government position and now lives at Spring Valley, Ill., at 102 East Cleveland street. She wrote the history at Washington, Sept. 17, 1919, nine years ago.
The Journal wishes to supplement the history of Mrs. Barrass and add that Mrs. Hinman used to talk to a representative of this paper regarding the old days around Hawleyville. The first winter she and Mr. Hinman were in Hawleyville they had a small room built on the northwest (the very coldest direction) of the old log cabin which was on the present Marshall Owen farm and which log cabin, built in about 1845, went down two years ago in August when the timbers were soaked from excessive rains. The building in which the old carriage works were operated by Charles s. Hinman and his father still stands in Hawleyville, almost ready to crumble to earth.
The following is the history of Mrs. Hinman:
Cornelia Jane Wikel was born in Amanda, Ohio, April 28, 1836, the youngest child of John and Mary Ann Wikel who had come from the state of Pennsylvania where they were born and reared. They had married at Hanover, Pa. and lived there until their removal to Ohio in 1833.
In 1847 when Cornelia was 13 years of age, she, with her parents and her sister and brother-in-law, C. H. Burrows and their infant removed to Illinois, making the long journey by water, on the canal to Cincinnati, down the Ohio river, up the Mississippi to the Illinois river and up the Illinois river to Peoria. They landed and on the bluff on the Knoxville road went to the home of Mr. Vail, a friend, for two or three days. The men at once went to look for a house and the only thing they could find was a cabin belonging to Mr. Giles, which they moved into for the summer.
After settling the family in this house, John Wikel and his son-in-law went down the river to Astoria where Mr. Wikel started in cabinet making, which was his trade, and in which he was an expert workman.
In the autumn of that year the families moved into Giles' big brick house, occupying the lower story, while the Giles family lived above. The friendship formed that year between these families always endured.
Mr. Burrows went to a medical school, qualifying himself as an anatomist, physiologist and phrenologist. After a year in Peoria, the families removed to Groveland and Dr. Burrows taught the Groveland school and continued his medical education, while Mr. Wikel worked at carpentry. They were able to secure separate houses here for the two families and many have been the stories the children have listened to of their lives in Groveland.
Mr. and Mrs. Burrows, for their home, were obliged to take an old house that had been used as a sheep house after the people owning it had built a new one. But when people meet conditions adverse, ambition and youth combined can surmount them and bring order out of chaos and happiness attends them, as it did these pioneer families.
The many pleasant social gathering where song and dance and merry talk engaged them lived in their memories and gave them many a story to hand on to their children, always interested listeners.
It was in Groveland that the next older child, John, learned the carpenter trade of Mr. Gay. In 1855, Dr. Burrows moved his family, which had two little girls added to it, to Atlanta, Ill., where they ever after made their home. In September of that year, John Wikel, the father died, and the following spring the mother, in company with Mrs. Burrows, went back to Ohio to visit the sons who had remained in Ohio, leaving in Cornelia's charge the two youngest children of her sister. After this visit was over it was not long until, on Sept. 21, 1856, Cornelia J. Wikel and Chas. S. Hinman were married. A few days after their marriage she came with her husband and his father's family to Iowa, overland from Groveland, Ill., and settled in Hawleyville, Iowa, eleven in the party. The father and mother Hinman and Ned rode ahead in the single buggy and made arrangements for the night. Next came the young married couple with the girls, in the double carriage, and teamsters following with the wagons carrying their household goods and business equipment for the carriage shop which Mr. Hinman established in Hawleyville.
There were many pleasant experiences to lighten the burdens of the journey, which consumed eleven days. The homes along the route in that early day were small but as all pioneer people are, the people were friendly and hospitable and gladly gave the travelers shelter at night, though very often there was not room for all. Mr. Hinman paid liberally for the accommodation. One night they stopped at a small house and as it was cool they felt they must find shelter indoors. There was but one bed and that was given up to Mr. and Mrs. Hinman and with quilts and whatever they had beds were made on the floor and they all laid down and they reached clear across the floor, one beside another.
Chas. S. Hinman and his young wife built a one-room cabin on their claim which they entered from the government and with a few things in it they stayed nights there. After the wolves howled around them one night, they were glad to get safely into town the next day. They disposed of this claim after a while and bought a farm out some distance from town and built a home there. All alike were far from their old homes and these people gathered often for merrymakings. Many times they came to the home of Charlie and wife, took down the bed, carried out the stove, and with a fiddle for music, danced and made merry half the night, always setting up the stove and the bed before dispersing. Happy, jolly days they spent, though their toil was constant, developing the new country. How little do we stop to think how this beautiful productive land is the result of the efforts of those brave, happy pioneers.
One son was born to Charles and Cornelia on Aug. 20, 1857, but died at birth. Hattie May was born Oct. 5, 1858.
In 1860 the husband and father went to Pike's Peak to mine, leaving his wife and baby in the home of his parents. When he was blasting in the mines a fuse went off prematurely and blew him up, injuring him severely, causing him to lose one eye and breaking an arm and he returned home.
In the winter of 1862 Mrs. Hinman returned to Illinois for a visit with her mother, brother, sister and her friends. After she went to Iowa, her mother and brother had moved to Atlanta to live near her sister. Aunt Nina, as she has been affectionately called by her family and friends, was of a bright, fun-loving nature always, and while on this visit she helped to welcome another baby to the Burrows household, who was named May Irene. The baby was born with an oyster marked on her shoulder and as the baby cried and cried Aunt Nina popped an oyster into the mouth of the three day old baby, which evidently was too strong to kill, for she lived to adore her Aunt Nina and to write this little account of the life of one who has lived a beautiful life of neighborly kindness and set an example of true womanhood to all with whom she came in contact. Through the years she has gone again and again to the old home to see the dear ones and was privileged to help her mother celebrate her 100th birthday, at which time she met all who were left of the household, Mother, Samuel, Mary and herself.
In the early days of the Civil war, Charles Hinman enlisted in the 11th Missouri cavalry for three years and won a commission as second lieutenant. While the soldiers lay in camp, Aunt Nina spent the time there to be near him and the imprint of those years were never effaced from her heart. When the World war called her grandsons, she knew just what women would have to endure. But her husband returned in safety from the Civil war, and they took up life again on the farm. Another little daughter, Minnie Belle, came to their home on March 16, 1864. In December, 1865, death came again and took away little Hattie May. On Oct. 13, 1867, little Annie Wikel Hinman was born and on Sept. 29, 1872, Royal Grandison was born.
In 1876 the family left the farm and moved to Clarinda, which has been their home from that time. Here the children went to school, grew up and married and were loved and respected. Minnie Belle was married to Wm. W. Welch and was the beautiful mother of a large family of children who were called upon in their early youth and childhood to give up their mother, who passed away from earth Oct. 16, 1903. Annie W. was married to Charles Lueder and was the mother of two sons and a daughter, the daughter being named Cornelia for her grandmother. Roy married Myra Calliday and they live in Omaha, Nebr. and have three daughters.
The husband and father having passed away after a lingering illness, the death of her daughter left in the home a lonely, white-haired mother. But the same stout heart which carried her bravely through early trials and hardship supports her still and she has a word of cheer for all who meet her. Her love for little children has been one of the beautiful things of her life and many are the tender kindnesses she has shown them—cold little hands covered with mittens she has made, hungry little mouths she has filled—every little friend she has knows Grandma Hinman's cooky jar is never empty. She loves the birds and saves the crumbs for them; their bath pan is always full of water, and many are the birds that bathe there or tilt on the edge for a drink.
"Beautiful faces are they that wear
The light of a loving spirit there"
and most surely is the dear face of Aunt Nina beautiful to the niece who pens these words. God bless her and keep her with us as long as she can be contented to stay. May the example of her noble, unselfish life create in the young people who call her "grandma" a desire to wear the crown of virtue which enriches her brow. May her life of loving faith strengthen them for the trials through which they must pass, as it has the heart of May Irene.

COLLEGE SPRINGS - Mrs. J. H. Hunter was called away from this life Monday evening, Feb. 13, 1893, at 7 o'clock. She was 54 years, 3 months and 11 days old. The funeral services were held in the U. P. church, of which she was a member, on Friday at 11 o'clock and her remains laid away in the College Springs cemetery. Elizabeth Jane Henderson was born Nov. 4th, 1838, in Gibson county, Ind. She went with her parents to Illinois where she was united in marriage to J. H. Hunter, April 20, 1858. She united with the Social Reformed church when she was quite young and afterwards united with the United Presbyterian church of which she has been a member until her death. Mrs. Hunter has been an invalid for years and a great sufferer but under it all she bore her cross for the master's sake and through trial and troubles she sustained faith in God and served her Saviour which she loved. Mrs. Hunter was a true Christian and showed by her life that the religion of Christ, which she cherished, was a reality. She leaves an aged husband, one son and one daughter, a sister and four brothers to mourn her loss, besides many friends and acquaintances. They have the sincere sympathy of the entire community and may God sustain and comfort them in this the hour of their great bereavement.

The spirit of Mrs. Kelly, wife of R. [obert] V. Kelly, well known throughout this part of the county, took its flight from this earth. Mrs. Kelly was born in Harrison county, O., on the 13th of February 1835. February 4, 1868, she was married to Mr. Kelly, having previously been married on March 5, 1857, by which marriage she had two children, George and Laura, only one of whom, George, survives her, Laura having preceded her to the better land. By her union with Mr. Kelly she bore two children, John and Eliza, one of whom, John, is deceased. She came to Iowa in 1861, where Mr. Kelly first met her. After their marriage they moved to Taylor county, where they have been living until they came to Clarinda, four years ago. She was taken sick March 1 and her suffering was not relieved until June 1. Her trouble was inflammation of the stomach and bowels and of such a nature that no medicine seemed to do her any good. Her long illness gradually wore her out until her wasted body could no longer hold the lingering spark of life and she peacefully fell to sleep.
Deceased was a member of the M. E. Church of Clarinda, Iowa, was a consistent and earnest Christian and was loved and honored by all who knew her. She had earned her reward and could cheerfully obey the call of her Master to "come up higher."

The funeral services were conducted Saturday morning at ten o'clock by Rev. E. W. McDade.

She was an active Christian and throughout her entire sickness maintained that spirit of faith in a heaven and a home in that great future that is to come that only such as she can. She was laid to rest in the city cemetery Saturday.

Obituary of Father Lisle (From the Panora Vedette)
Joseph Lisle was born in Belmont county, Ohio, March 15, 1818 and died at his home on a farm near Linden, Iowa, Jan. 31, 1893.
There were four brothers and one sister, he being the third one of the children. His father died when he was six years old and the care of the little ones was left to the mother who remained a widow throughout a long and eventful life, during which she managed a large business with marked skill and ability. Grandmother Lisle lived to a very old age, having seen all of her children settled and with interesting families around them. Two of the sons, George and Henry, are physicians and live at Chetopa, Kansas. John has always been a farmer and lives near Perry, Iowa. James, the youngest son, died in 1860 and Mary, the sister, died about 1856. The mother being a member of the Quaker church, the children had birth right memberships and were taught in that faith.
In 1839 the subject of this sketch married Mary Evans, outside of the Quaker church and so lost his membership. Soon after his marriage he, with his wife, joined the Methodist church, of which he continued a member to the time of his death.
He lived with his family on different farms in Belmont county, Ohio, until the spring of 1861, when he moved to Guthrie county, first settling on the Middle Coon river, about twelve miles above Panora. In 1865 he moved to the farm upon which he died. There were nine children born to Joseph and Mary Lisle, in order of their births as follows: John E., a farmer, died Feb. 16, 1891. James, a minister of the Methodist church, now stationed at Indianola, Nebraska. Emma died of diptheria in 1860. Charlie A. [lbert], editor and proprietor of the Herald, published at Clarinda, Iowa. Jennie died of typhoid fever in 1868. Sarah M. died of scarlet fever in 1856. Thomas, a farmer living near Panora. Hugh M., farmer living on the home farm and Mary P., wife of Russell Laubach, a farmer living near Linden, Iowa.
Father Lisle was a zealous church worker and held official relations for forty years or more and his home was always the home of the itinerate minister. He was always deeply interested in public and political affairs and never missed casting his vote at state or national elections. He lived the consistent life of the religion he enjoyed and his influence with his family and neighbors was never impaired by hasty or inconsiderate language or acts.
His life was a daily sermon of great power and influence.
He was naturally a man of great physical power and strong constitution, but the exposure and worry of his frontier life told on him to such an extent as to seriously impair his health several years ago. During all the years of his declining vigor he maintained his natural genial and pleasant disposition and enjoyed the association of friends. Although it would not have surprised his family to have been summoned to his death bed at any time during the past thirteen years, yet when his final call came it was a severe shock. The day he died his four sons were with him and upon the request of their mother, sat down at the old family table with her to eat dinner. This was the first time in more than twenty years that the four brothers had been together. Within a very few minutes after the meal was finished the spirit of the loved husband and father took its flight to a better land.
At the funeral the four sons, the son-in-law and a grandson served as pallbearers and carried the remains of the father, who had done so much for them, to their final resting place.
Funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Linden, Rev. Shinn officiating.

Obituary – Elizabeth Lymer, daughter of Benjamin and Hannah Jaquis[s], was born in Louyton[Longton], England, July 11, 1818 and died at her home in College Springs [words missing] month and 27 days. The funeral services were conducted at her house by the writer, March 10. The remains were laid in the College Springs cemetery to await the resurrection morn.

They settled in Mercer county, Pa., where they lived for 24 years. Here all her children were born, three of which died in infancy and five lived to manhood and womanhood. Her husband died Feb. 5, 1869 and in 1876 she came to College Springs, Page Co., Ia., where she lived until the time of her death. Her daughter, Mary, died in Nov. 1876, but the other four children are still living, and were all present at the funeral. Her son, Dr. R. [ichard] H. [enry] Lymer, served in the late war. He went to his mother in '61 and told her he thought he ought to go in defense of his country; though he was a boy of only 17 years, she bade him go, with her blessing, thinking the cause worthy. Dr. Lymer practiced medicine in College Springs and vicinity with marked success. He is now employed as receiver in the City National Bank at Hastings, Neb. His family still lives in College Springs.
Her youngest son, Rev. E. [lmer] E. [llsworth] Lymer, a graduate of Amity College, is a member of the Des Moines Annual Conference. He is now Vice President and member of the Faculty in Black Hills College, Hot Springs, S. D.

Mrs. Davis, a daughter, lives in Nebraska. Prof. Davis, her husband, will be remembered by many as a teacher in Amity College. Sadie Lymer, another daughter, is at home and gave her mother careful and faithful attention to the close of her life. Mrs. Lymer was for many years a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. She left evidence of Christian faith, trust and hope. Her father, uncle, two brothers and one son were and are ministers of the gospel.

Obituary – Mrs. Wm. Nixon died at her home northeast of Morsman on Saturday morning Jan. 28th. Her sickness was of short duration, but her sufferings were very great, yet they were borne without levity. She knew that she must leave her loved ones and told them it was only a little way to the river and called two loved ones who have already crossed over. She beautifully sang "Home Sweet Home."
Although her friends have assurance that she is with her savior, their hearts are sad, and their hours are lonely.
She will not only be missed in her home, but she has a host of friends who also feel their loss. She was a kind and loving wife and mother. It was her request that each of her children should have some trinket of hers. The deceased was 28 years of age. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn her loss.

BRADDYVILLE – Mrs. Michael Reed expired at 6 p. m. on the 26th, surrounded by all of her children but two, and numerous kind and sympathetic friends. Mrs. Reed has been a great sufferer for the last four years. She bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude but for the last four weeks all hope of her recovery has been abandoned and her children gathered in from far and near to receive her last token of love and farewell. It is very sorrowful to part with mother and especially with kind, Christian mothers, whose good advice and kind words are only numbered by the stars in the heavens. Her end, like her life, was peaceful and she gently dropped to sleep. She was 67 years old and leaves a husband and six grown sons and two daughters to mourn the loss of wife and mother. Mr. and Mrs. Reed have been residents of this place near 30 years and their friends are numbered by hundreds, all of whom extend their deepest sympathy to this bereaved family in this their great loss. The funeral services were held on Tuesday at the M. E. Church in Braddyville, conducted by Rev. A. B. Buckner, who delivered a very able and appropriate discourse. Her remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends and relatives and at 12 o'clock she was laid to rest. Rest in peace Mother Reed, your life work is so well done.

Obituary – On Monday, April 10, many of our community in vicinity of College Springs, witnessed one of the saddest sights that can be seen—the funeral of one of our little friends.
Blanche Eugenia Rutherford, the only daughter of and dear child of Mr. And Mrs. John Rutherford, of College Springs, died.
Last Thursday morning little Blanche was taken sick, suffering from acute scarlet fever. The fever gradually grew higher until the dear girl raved. From Thursday evening till she passed away to her heavenly home, our lamented little Blanche knew no one, not even her sorrowing parents, and there was but little hope of her recovery from the first.
Blanche was clever, very clever for her childish years.
What a felicitous change—a crown for a life's wearisome wanderings through this world of wickedness.
Gone from among us. Her spirit of loving tenderness and obedient simplicity has ascended upwards to the bright and beautiful kingdom of her Saviour, in whose presence she shall forever remain, enjoying all the glorious privileges of little children in whom our Jesus delights.

Mrs Ada Waugh Buried Thursday
Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church this Thursday morning for Mrs Ada Waugh, 79, former resident of Clarinda, who died at the Presbyterian home in Ackley, Iowa, Memorial Day. Dr. A B Thutt, pastor of the local church and Rev J J Brittell of Ackley were in charge of the funeral services. She was buried in the Clarinda cemetery beside the body of her husband who preceded her in death July 7, 1923.
Mrs Waugh lived in Clarinda from 1899, when she and her husband moved here from Gravity, until October 1936, when she went to Ackley, being the first person to enter the Presbyterian home. Her death is the first in the Ackley home. She had been in ill health for several years but visited Clarinda on several occasions, being here last summer.
A native of Ohio she lived in Shenandoah where she graduated from high school there in 1879, Mt Pleasant, where she attended Iowa Wesleyan college, Bedford and Gravity before moving to Clarinda.

Ada C Waugh – Following is the obituary of Ada C Waugh, formerly of Clarinda, written by Mrs Waugh and found in a lock-box after her death. Necessary data has been added:
Ada C Cary Waugh, only child of Calvin and Rebecca Bower Clary [Cary], was born near Millersburg, Ohio, Oct. 24, 1860 and died at Ackley, Iowa, May 30, 1939. Moved with her parents to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, in 1868 where she lived in and near until 1879, when the family moved to Shenandoah, Iowa. She graduated from the high school with the class of 1879. She also attended the Iowa Wesleyan College at Mt Pleasant. She was married to William T. Waugh Oct 9, 1881 at Shenandoah, shortly after which they moved to Bedford for a short time, then on Sept 20, 1882, they moved to the new town of Gravity, Iowa, where they resided until Sept 30, 1899. They then located in Clarinda where the home was maintained until Oct 7, 1936. As Mr Waugh had passed away July 7, 1923 and Mrs Waugh had been alone for 13 years, she thought it best to dispose of her home and locate in the Presbyterian Home in Ackley, where she has remained until the time of her death. When ten years old she united with the Methodist church of which she was an active member until 1893, when she with her husband changed their membership to the Presbyterian church and was a member until she passed away. The church was very dear to her heart and when her health permitted "she did what she could" in the church, Sunday school and all other branches of church work.
Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church in Clarinda Thursday, June 1, conducted by Dr A B Thutt, local pastor, and Rev J J Brittell, pastor at Ackley. Pall bearers were Lyle Cassat, Ray Glassgow, Ross Miller, William Burwell, Fred Wiley and Gerald Bogan. Burial was made in the Clarinda cemetery.

W. T. Waugh – William Thomas Waugh passed away Saturday evening after a month's illness and was buried today, Dr. A. B. Marshall conducting his funeral services.
At the time of his death his age was 73 years, 5 months and 15 days. He was born in Ashland County, Ohio, but when five years old moved with his family to Canton, Ill. where he lived for nearly 25 years. In 1878 he came to Iowa and resided for a time in Shenandoah, where he was married to Miss Ada C. Cary, only child of Calvin and Rebecca Bown [Bower] Cary, October 19, 1881. In 1882 they moved to Gravity, Iowa, where they resided until 1889 and since then in Clarinda.
He had his education in the public schools of Illinois and in Heading College of that State. In early life or until his hearing became defective, he was quite proficient as a musician and was devoted to the praise services of the church with which he was connected. In early life he was a hardware merchant, later a carpenter and for most of his years in Clarinda a dealer in produce.
He united with the church in his youth and until his hearing was impaired, he was an active Christian worker. His membership has been in the Presbyterian Church since he came to Clarinda about 25 years ago and while able to participate in the services his presence was very regular.
A month ago he was prostrated with paralysis and until Saturday when death came he has been lying in his home on Grant street, seemingly unconscious.
His wife and a brother now residing in Omaha are the only relatives that survive him.

W. T. Waugh – William Thomas Waugh was born in Ashland county, O., Jan. 22, 1850, and entered into his rest July 7, 1923, aged 73 years, 5 months and 15 days. When five years of age he moved from Ohio to Canton, Ill., where he resided until 1878. He then came to Iowa and made his home in Shenandoah and there on Oct. 9, 1881 he was married to Ada C. Cary, only child of Calvin and Rebecca Bower Cary. The next year he moved to Gravity, Ia., where he resided until 1899 and then he came to Clarinda where he has lived almost 25 years.
He obtained his education in the public schools of Illinois and in Heding college. In business he was first a dealer in hardware and implements. Later he was a carpenter and since he came to Clarinda, he has handled produce of various kinds.
In early life he was much interested in music and rendered valuable service in the praise service of the church and Sunday school with which he was connected. In Clarinda his membership has been for about 25 years with the Presbyterian church in which he was an earnest worker until the almost total loss of his hearing which came upon him more than a dozen years ago, made the service impossible, which he would still have been pleased to render.
About a month ago he had a stroke of paralysis and seemingly lost consciousness at once and since then, almost without food or drink he has been slowly approaching the end, which came as a peaceful sleep last Saturday evening just as the last rays of a setting sun clothed the trees about his home with gold and then faded into night. So the good Father gives His children rest.
Of all the relatives he has known, only his wife, Mrs. Ada Waugh and a brother who lives in Omaha, survive him. The funeral was held Monday afternoon conducted by Dr. A. B. Marshall, pastor of the Presbyterian church.

Sol West died at San Antonio, Texas, last Monday and his body will reach here this evening at 8:30, accompanied by his three brothers. The funeral will take place tomorrow from the residence of Hon. C. Linderman, the services to be by Rev. R. R. Westcott. Mr. West is about 61 years old and a native of Kentucky. He came to Page County in 1856. In 1861 he was elected Treasurer and Recorder over J. H. Walker and is the last democrat who has held office since 1864. In 1865 he ran a freighting business to Bannock, Idaho. In spring of 1866 bought out D. C. Ribble in drug business then sold half interest to Dr. Lewellen, which business was sold in 1870 to Dr. J. C. Holmes. In 1870 -71 he was interested in stock business with Moses Thompson. In 1874 he went into the banking business with Al Collins and has been at this nearly ever since. For the last ten or fifteen years has been president of the Page County Bank. R. M. West, a brother, of Coryell, Texas, will no doubt take his interest in the bank here, as he is abundantly able to do so. It is the general opinion that Mr. West left a will disposing of his property. He has three brothers and one sister living in Texas. His estate is variously reported as from $75, 000 to $100,000. Mr. West stood high in the esteem of all who had known him and his funeral, no doubt, will be largely attended. "Peace to his ashes."

"Sol West Is Dead!" Was the sad announcement received at the Page County Bank, Monday morning, May 15, 1893, from Dr. Lewellen at San Antonio, Texas, who went there last week to wait upon him. The news cast a deep gloom over this community, although from reports of his serious illness the past two weeks it was hourly expected. Mr. West had been spending the winter in the south for his health and was about ready to return home when stricken down and all were anxiously awaiting his return. He was 61 years of age.
Mr. West was born in Kentucky and came to Page county in the fall of 1856, first stopping with Wm. Cunning and asking for a place to teach school, who succeeded in securing one for him in Buchanan township during the winter and spring; but his ambition seemed to rise above that avocation and in 1857 he became deputy county treasurer and recorder, under Capt. R. F. Connor, the two offices then being merged into one. In 1861 he was elected by the democrats to these offices over J. H. Walker and filled the position with credit to the people and himself. In 1864 he engaged in the freighting business across the great plains and through the country of treacherous Indians into Idaho, which he followed for two years and met with financial success. He then returned to Clarinda again and purchased a drug store from D. C. Ribble on the south side of the square which he operated until '74 when he disposed of that and engaged in the banking business with Al Collins. In '75 he withdrew from this and became interested in the First National bank where he continued until '78 when he purchased and conducted the large Mose Thompson farm just north of this city. In '82 the First National bank was changed to the Page county bank and he became one of the leading stockholders and was also elected president thereof, which position he has continued to occupy ever since with marked distinction to himself and success to the institution.
Mr. West was a man of boundless virtues and few faults, social, kind, accommodating and generous to a fault, a friend to the poor first and the rich last, as many a man in cramped financial trouble can testify who have been helped on to prosperity by his generous and liberal deeds, often loaning his money and signing the note as surety which was placed in the bank. In every walk of life, he was a man, a gentleman and none knew him but to honor him. With his death Clarinda loses one of her noblest citizens. He was a member of the Masonic and also I. O. O. F. lodge. While he belonged to no church his contributions were regular and liberal. The funeral took place at 10 a. m. today, conducted by Rev. R. R. Westcott and a large concourse of admiring friends, with an escort from each of the above mentioned secret societies, followed his remains to their last resting place in the city cemetery. "Peace to his ashes, rest to his soul."

Mrs. Mary Wikel Dead
The Oldest Resident of Logan County at Last Gives Way to the Grim Destroyer
To but few people is given one hundred years life, one of these few being Mrs. Mary Ann Wikel of Atlanta, who on the 10th of next April would have been one hundred and one years old. However, this was not to be, as the old lady peacefully passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. [ary] C.[atherine] Burrows, Monday afternoon. Since the celebration of her one hundredth anniversary last April, Mrs. Wikel had failed slowly, but surely, life's machine giving way to the infirmities of old age. The deceased came of a very long-lived family, her father living to the extreme age of 113 years. Her vigor has been a subject of remark for many years and until a comparatively recent date she was able to go about the yard and look after slight duties around the house. Mrs. Wikel was a member of the Lutheran church and a lady of many sterling qualities.
Mary Ann Snyder was born in Maryland Apr 10th, 1792, and when at the age of ten years was bound out to a family by the name of John Muma, near Hanover, Pa. In January 1815, at the age of 20, she was married to John Wikel; the husband was born March 11, 1788, in Hanover and served in the war of 1812. From the marriage of Miss Snyder and Mr. Wikel the following named children were born: Samuel, Oct. 1, 1815, Louisa A., Jan. 16, 1817; Catharine, July 2, 1820; Henry, Oct. 24, 1822; Susannah, Oct. 24, 1823; Wm., Feb. 28, 1825; Joshua, Aug. 4, 1826; Mary, Aug. 23, 1829; John, July 28, 1832 and Cornelia, April 28, 1836. Of all the above named children only three survive, viz Samuel Wikel, of Urbana, Ohio, Mrs. C. [harles] S. [tillman] Hinman of Clarinda, Iowa and Mrs. M.[ary] C. [atherine] Burrows of Atlanta, Ill. In 1833 the family removed to Ohio and from there to Peoria, Ill., in 1849. Mrs. Wikel has been a resident of Atlanta for about 30 years. She had one son in the Mexican war and three in the civil war. Mrs. Wikel has 27 grandchildren, 43 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren.
The funeral took place Wednesday at 2 p. m. from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. M. [ary] C.[atherine] Burrows, with whom she had so long made her home. The services were largely attended and were conducted by Rev. A. V. Scott, after which the body was taken to the Atlantic [Atlanta] cemetery for burial. – The Atlantic (Ill.) Argus.
