TWO CHILDREN DIE
OF ILEOCOLITIS
The six months old son, Edmond, of Mr. and Mrs. Will Copeland died Sept. 3, at the Kennelworth hospital from Ileocolitis. His brother, Raymond died last Wednesday from the same cause. The mother had been sick, and was in the hospital herself when the two children took sick, so the disease got too good a headway, for them to recover.

Mrs Eleanor "Nellie" Butler Cozad died suddenly about one o'clock in the morning of July 4th. The annoucement brought sorrow to the hearts of all our people, as she was a lady in the prime of life and apparent perfect health. The day before she ate a hearty dinner as usual but about three o'clock was siezed with convulsions from some unnatural cause preceding childbirth and never recovered. Miss Eleanor Butler, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Butler, who passed away several years age, was born Aug. 26, 1875. at Denver, Colo., but Clarinda has always been her real home. She was united in marriage to Mr. J. W. Cozad of Red Oak, Feb. 18, 1901, where they resided for about two years when they located in this city. To this union was born one son, Wm. Cozad, now nearly five years old, who with his father is left to mourn the untimely death of mother and wife. Mrs. Cozad was highly respected by all who knew her. The funeral took place Friday at two o'clock from the home, conducted by Rev. J. W, Abel, pastor of the M. E. church, and her remains laid to rest in the city cemetery. Page County Democrat, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 11, 1907

Mrs. Eleanor Butler Cozad, the wife of J. W. Cozad, died at one o'clock yesterday morning at the family home in this city, after a very brief illness, incident to complications of approaching childbirth.
Nellie Butler, as she was familiarly known here, was the only child of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Butler, was born in Denver, Colo., Aug. 26th. 1875, and all her life was spent here, where her warm heart and kind, womanly ways endeared her to a host of friends, who deeply mourn her sad and sudden death.
On Feb. 18, 1901, Nellie Butler was married to J. W. Cozad the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cozad, of Red Oak, and for about two years and a half they lived at Red Oak, returning to Clarinda August 31, 1903, since which time they have lived in Mrs. Cozad's girlhood home. Besides the bereaved husband, Mrs. Cozad is survived by a little son, William, a fine little fellow nearly five years of age.
Mrs. Cozad had long been a member of the Presbyterian church, but about a year ago, because of little William's desire to attend the Methodist Sunday School, she changed her membership to that church. The funeral services were held at the home this afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Abel conducting the services. Those present at the funeral from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cozad of Red Oak, and Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Whittier of Red Oak. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 5, 1907

Chas Coulter's BABE
Mr. and Mr. Chas. Coulter, living on East Main Street, were called to mourn the death of their infant babe, aged 8 days, which died suddenly Friday morning after an illness of a few hours. It weighted ten pounds at time of birth. Page County Democrat, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 23, 1911

Through an oversight the death of David Couts, March 10, was overlooked last week. Mr Couts was born at Bucyrus, Ohio, Nov 4, 1835, and came to this county in 1858, which had since been his home. The funeral was held Sunday, March 13. Page County Democrat, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 23, 1911

The subject of this sketch was born near Bucyrus, Ohio, in November, 1835 and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. J. Swanson, in this city, March 10, 1910, after a lingering illness that has lasted for more than a year.
Mr. Couts spent the early part of his life in Ohio, and when he became a young man, he decided to come west, and did so. He came in company with the family of Tip Hakes with whom he became associated in business and followed the plasterer's trade.
In 1858 he was married to Miss Sarah Palmer, a sister to Mrs. Tip Hakes, and to this union four children were born. One of the children died in infancy and the other three were present at the funeral. They are Wm. Couts, of St. Joseph, Mo; Mrs. C. J. Swansom, of this city and Frank Couts also of this city.
Mr. Couts has been a very stout man physically, and he has always been identified with the building industries of the city. He was a prominent member in the Clarinda fire department, and an active worker in the I. O. O.. F. lodge in which he has held the highest offices at the hands of his associates.
The closing years of the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Couts were attended by their daughter, Mrs. Swanson, and the father has been a constant care to her. For the past sixteen years he has made his home with her and his welfare has been a pleasure to her, although at times the work has been very heavy. The last year has been exceptionally so, but the faithful daughter never felt that she was overworked when she ministered to his wants.
During his last days he has been a heavy charge, and the end came as a relief, to him from his acute suffering from Bright's Disease.
The funeral was held from the late home, Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Pennock assisted by Rev. Stevenson, and the body was taken in charge by the I. O. O. F. order and given a ritualistic burial in the Clarinda cemetery beside those of his loved ones who had gone on before.
The death of Mr. Couts closes up the history of the six Palmer sisters who married in this county in an early day. These sisters married Alexander Davie, Fred Fisher, Tip Hakes, John Morris, Sam McMichael and David Couts. All the other members of the family have died, and now the diary is closed and their names have passed into history. They have left a long and useful one to copy by the generations to follow.

Lindsey Cooper met an awful death Saturday by falling two thousand feet from a balloon, was the sad news telegraphed to Lindsey's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Cooper southeast of this, by Albert Clark, at Wolfe City Texas. Young Cooper left this city with Albert Clark the 16th inst. to join a street carnival and give acrobatic exhibitions and balloon ascensions during the winter in t:he south. Mr. Cooper had helped prepare balloons considerable the the past year and thought himself competent to make an ascension. This was his first attempt. How the accident happened is yet unknown, but parties familiar with the business think the parachute must have bursted, failed to inflate, or that the ropes thereto broke. It is an "awful affair but seems to be the inevitable outcome of all who persist in following the daring feat to entertain a gaping crowd. It should be a warning to others. Albert Clark seems to be lucky in his acrobatic performances so far, but it will be remembered that only a few weeks ago in that same state Fay Stonebraker was burled from a trapeze and nearly met death, being still in a bad condition. Lindsey Cooper was born and reared in this county, about twenty-two years old and unmarried. It is a severe blow to his parents and the family. The remains were brought to this city last night and the funeral takes place at 2 o'clock tomorrow, conducted by Rev. Able. Page County Democrat, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 25, 1906

A letter was received from Albert Clark last night telling the particulars of Lindsay Cooper's death. He was equipped with the safety straps all right when he started up and no one will ever know just how it happened that he fell, but Clark states that he was about 2500 feet high when suddenly he just fell out without cutting his parachute loose at all. He fell upon a network of electric wires which partly broke the force of his fall but he was instantly killed. The funeral is being held this afternoon at the M. E. church, Rev. Abel conducting the services. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 29, 1906

Lindsay Cooper, a Clarinda Boy Meets Awful Death at Wolfe City, Texas, Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. John Cooper who live out toward East River about three miles and a half southeast of Clarinda received a telegram Sunday from A. F. Clark at Wolfe City, Texas bringing the sad news that on the day before their oldest son William Lindsay Cooper had fallen 2000 feet from a balloon and was instantly killed. Young Cooper started to Texas just a week ago this morning with Clark, and Saturday's was his first balloon ascension, as it proved also to be his last. Cooper had helped with the balloon a great deal last summer and believed that he uuderstood the business. No particulars of the accident have as yet been received by the parents of the young man. Another telegram was received by them this morning stating that the remains started from Wolfe City last night and will be brought here for burial. Further notice comes to us just before going to press that the body will arrive here tomorrow evening and the funeral will be held Thursday.
William   Lindsay    Cooper was born in Page county June 10, 1882, and has made this county his home ever since except on such occasions as he was engaged as aeronaut's assistant to Mr. Clark and others. He was unmarried.  He is survived by father, mother, three sisters and six brothers, to whom the affliction is made doubly sad by the fact that his life was lost in the way it was. The life of a man is worth too much to risk simply for the amusement of his fellow beings who are thoughtless enough to encourage the daring feat.
No arrangements for the funeral have been definitely made. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 23, 1906

The sad news of Dr. H. L. Cokenower's death last Thursday cast a gloom over a large portion of people in eastern Page county, as the Doctor's long and successful practice had given him a large circle of acquaintances and friends. The Doctor was born and educated in Shelbyville, Ill., and before reaching the age of 21 began the study of medicine, and his whole life was given to information of his profession. He first located in Kansas, but soon after came to Clarinda in 1880, and for years stood at the head of his profession. The same year he was married to Miss Clara Hamilton of Pleasant Plains, Ill., and two children were born to them, Lloyd and Helen, who with their mother mourn his untimely death. The funeral took place Saturday at 2 p. m., from the family residence in west Clarinda, under the auspices of the Masonic lodge, Dr. T. C. Smith preaching the funeral sermon, and his remains laid to rest in the city cemetery. Page County Democrat, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 26, 1901

Dr. H. L. Cokenower died at his residence in this city Thursday morning, September 19, 1901, lacking just four days of being 47 years of age. The immediate cause of his death was valvular heart trouble. The funeral will he held at the residence tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Masonic fraternity will have charge and the funeral sermon will be delivered by Dr. T. C. Smith.
Dr. Cokenower was born in Shelby county, Ill., September 23, 1854. He was educated in the Shelbyville graded schools, and at the age of nineteen began the study of medicine under Drs. Harter and Catherwood, of Shelbyville. Later he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Keokuk, Iowa, from which institution he was graduated in 1877. In 1880 he moved to Clarinda and began the practice of his profession, at one time enjoying the most extensive practice in the county. February 11, 1880, he was married to Miss Clara M. Hamilton, of Pleasant Plains, Ill., who with two children—Roy and Helen—are left to mourn his untimely death.
The Doctor's health has been failing for some years. Early this summer he went to Colorado, hoping the change of climate would be beneficial, but became rapidly worse and about a month ago was brought home in a condition that greatly alarmed his friends. The Knights of Pythias sent a skilled nurse to remain with him to the end, and every attention which skilled physicians and devoted friends could bestow was shown him, but all to no avail.
Besides his wife and children, two brothers, Dr. J. W. Cokenower, of Des Moines, Iowa, and H. H. Cokenower, of Fayette county, Illinois, and the many friends to whom a thousand kindly acts have endeared him are among those who will feel most keenly his death.

A terrible shooting affair took place over at Shenandoah Tuesday night, when Harry L. Bright shot Esther Cook and then turning the revolver on himself, inflicted a mortal wound. He died yesterday morning, but the girl still survived yesterday noon. Mr. Bright was about 24 years of age and Miss Cook about 14 years of age. It seems the two had been keeping company occasionally for the past few months, against the wishes of Miss Cook's parents. It is alleged that Sept 22 Bright and his sister, Ethel Bright, enticed Miss Cook to go to Omaha with them, and the arrangement was also for | Mont. Bright, a brother, and Miss Ruth Ingraham were to go also, and from there to Colorado where all four were to get married. There seems to have been no understanding as to whom they were to marry. But when at the depot Miss Ingraham back out and Harley Bright and his sister, Ethel, and Miss Cook took the train. At Omaha they remained over night at a hotel, visited a sister, Mrs. Freize, and then Miss Cook decided to return home, Her parents knew nothing of the affair at the time. However, Bright and his sister were arrested, and at the trial, bound over to the district court, both giving bonds for their appearance. It is indeed a terrible affair and well exemplifies the waywardness of young people and how easy it is to blast a life, or lives that might have been useful in tbe world. It stands well in hand for parents to guard closely the footsteps of children while under their control from infancy and keep them from the hurley burley of the streets and its fascinations. "There is no place like home, be it ever so humble.'' But this matter has been settled outside of the courts and broken hearts are left to linger in grief. Let young people take warning.
