Oscar Davis died Tuesday, July 14, 1903, at his home in East River township, five miles southeast of this city. He was in town last Saturday but was afflicted with an ailment for which no remedy but a surgical operation was available and through which it was not certain he could come out alive but which appeared the only possible chance of saving his life. The operation was performed, but it could not save him. Mr. Davis was 34 years of age. He died in the same house on the farm of his father, Joseph Davis of Clarinda, on which he was born. He leaves a wife and one child. He was a nephew of Mrs. Samuel Nixon of Clarinda. His funeral was held Wednesday, conducted by Rev. L. F. Brown, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of Shambaugh. The funeral was largely attended.
A friend contributes the following to his memory:
“Oscar Davis was born Feb. 24, 1871, in Page county, Ia., and departed this life July 14, 1903, age 32 years 4 months and 20 days. He was married Oct. 21, 1896, to Miss Jennie Gray of Shambaugh. To them was born one son. Oscar was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Shambaugh in the year 1894. He has been a faithful member. His illness and suffering was of but a few days. He died with faith in his God. Oscar leaves a wife, one son, a father and mother, two sisters and three brothers and a host of friends. His life was an exemplary one. He was a good citizen and neighbor, a dutiful, kind and loving husband. The funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal church in Shambaugh, July 15, conducted by Rev. L. F. Brown. He was laid to rest in the Davis cemetery. [Poem not transcribed.]

Left this weary world below;
Gone into that home immortal.
Where I trust we all shall go.

Only a few hours we watched and
Mourned her.
With a tender, anxious care,
But the angels came and called her,
Led her up the golden stair.

Oh! how we will daily miss her.
She from earth has passed away;
We are sitting all so lonely,
Thinking o’er our loss that day.

Little Faye was born March 20, 1896, and departed from her earthly environment Friday, Aug. 2, 1901, at 3 o’clock.

While still a child Mrs Gibson took a keen interest in the religious life, becoming a member of the Methodist church when but 11 or 12 years of age. It was a source of great comfort to her to know that no matter how great our suffering may become, we can never get beyond the reach of the Master’s love and care. And while we cannot keep her with us forever, in the body, yet we can never lose the memory of her mother-love. We take comfort in the assurance of the Master who said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He that liveth and believeth in me, though he were dead yet shall he live.”
She is also survived by 16 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

[GILES, JOHN LYON]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, February 1, 1901
The death in this city, Wednesday morning, at 1:30 o’clock, of John L. [yon] Giles, removed from among the living in Page county one of its well known and highly respected citizens. Mr. Giles was almost 75 years of age at the time of his death. For nearly three quarters of a century he did his part in life and now that he has gone, a wide circle of friends unite with his relatives in mourning their common loss. Mr. Giles was well informed, a pleasant, helpful companion and conversationalist, whole souled and congenial, a good man, kind neighbor and steadfast friend; one of those noble, manly men who live for others as well as themselves, and who, when gone, leave a void that can never be filled. He was an invalid for a long time prior to his death, confined to his home, a sufferer from a malady that was to take him away forever from the places that had known him so long. The inevitable end has come, and he is at rest. Mr. Giles weas born in Basking Ridge, Somerset county, N. J., Feb. 22, 1827. When about 4 years of age he moved with his parents to Mount Gilead, O., where some years later his parents died. His early manhood was spent in agricultural pursuits. He was married at Mount Gilead to Miss Susan Merrick, a native of Harrison county, the same state, June 20, 1848. Six years later Mr. Giles removed with his family to Mahaska county, this state, and about 1867 they located in Buchanan township in this county. Several years later he started in the livery business and for 22 years he followed that line of work in this city and Shenandoah and also in Taylor county. About three years ago he became an invalid, disposed of his livery interests in Shenandoah and removed to this city to spend the last years of his life’s journey. Mr. and Mrs. Giles were the devoted parents of four children as follows: Mrs. Johanna Wamsley, five miles east of this city; George M. Giles, Mitchell county, Kan.; Mrs. Flora Reeves, Guss, Taylor county, and John Fletcher, who died at the age of 3 ½ years. The two daughters and their mother were present at the funeral, which was held at the home at 11 o’clock Thursday morning conducted by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz. Interment took place in Memory cemetery. The following quartet from the Methodist Episcopal choir of this city furnished the music for the services: Mrs. Nina Welch, Miss Myrtle Baker, J. D. Keenor and R. G. McCutchan, who sang, “Some Sweet  Day;” “My Jesus as Thou Wilt,” and “It Is Well With My Soul.”

Otis Green, of Albia, who murdered his wife in Des Moines a couple of months ago, was given a life sentence last week. His blindness—the result of his desperate but unsuccessful attempt at self destruction—is all that saved him from the hangman’s rope. Mrs. Green was a former Page county girl, and will be remembered by many here as Miss Minnie Wilson.

[GROSVENOR, HELEN E.]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, July 12, 1901
Miss Helen E. Grosvenor died Sunday afternoon, July 7, 1901, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Mary F. Cramer, in this city. She had been confined to her bed for seven months prior to her death, from paralysis, and had been an invalid during the last three years of her life, when she made her home in this city. Miss Grosvenor was born at Troy, O., and would have been 73 years of age on her next birthday. At one time she conducted a millinery store in Clarinda but returned to Ohio, and her last residence in this city began about three years ago. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock from the home of Mrs. Cramer, conducted by Dr. T. C. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian church, who spoke most appropriately. The music was by a quartet composed of Mrs. O. M. Cook, Miss Bertha Loranz, Professor C. E. Arnold and Thomas Brown. And so a good woman is at rest.

[HAMILTON, CHARLES]

[HAMILTON, CHARLES]
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Tuesday, June 18, 1901
Obituary of C. W. Hamilton. Deceased Was a Cousin of Mrs. A. F. Beal, and Once a Merchant of Clarinda
We give below an extract from the obituary of Charles W. Hamilton, which appeared in the Prairie City (Ill.) Herald. Notice of the death of Mr. Hamilton, who was a merchant of Clarinda for nine years and who was a cousin of Mrs. A. F. Beal of this city, appeared in these columns several days ago. Mrs. Beal returned from Prairie City Friday, where she had been to attend the funeral of her cousin.
Charles W. Hamilton was born in Canton, Ill., on September 29, 1853. He passed from this life at the home of his father, G.W. Hamilton, in Prairie City, on Wednesday evening, May 26th, at the age of 47 years and 8 months.
The subject of this sketch came with his parents to Prairie City in the early spring of 1855 and grew to manhood in this village. He secured his education in the schools of Prairie City, being a student at the Academy when it was conducted as such.
On September 29th, 1880, the deceased was united in marriage with Miss Lizzie Ackerman and to them were born two children, the eldest a daughter, Floy, and the other a son, Don.
For many years he was associated with his father in business in Prairie City and in the early eighties was engaged in the dry goods business for himself here. In 1882 the deceased, seeking broader fields, moved with his family to Clarinda, Iowa, where for nine years he was engaged in a general mercantile business. Here it was that his health began to fail and for the benefit of which he moved to Auburn, Nebraska, again engaging in business. But this change was not productive of that which he sought and in 1893 he disposed of his interests in Auburn, and with his family came to Prairie City, making about a month’s visit in the home of his youth, living over again those happy boyhood days. Thinking possibly the climate conditions of the “Sunny South” would be a health restorative, Mr. Hamilton and his family moved in 1893 to San Antonio, Texas. For the first two years of his residence there his health began to improve and with his old time energy he again took upon himself the responsibilities of business, but the change for the better was only of short duration and in 1895 he was compelled to dispose of his business. For three years prior to his death he had been confined to his home, seldom leaving the house, and never during that time his door yard. That which seemed an over burdening of his troubles was reached one year ago last December when the eldest child, Floy, just blossoming into young womanhood, at an age when she was both a pride and a comfort to the suffering father and patient mother and wife, was taken from them by the hand of death.
About two months ago the disease with which he suffered had made such progress that the end was expected at any time and the father, G. W. Hamilton, went to San Antonio that he might be with his son during his last hours in this life. After his father’s arrival he rallied and last Saturday was brought to Prairie City and with that energy which had sustained him through so many years of suffering, withstood the long and tedious journey that he might meet the end among his friends of early life and at least salute them once again, which he was permitted to do, before the spirit fled from the weary and exhausted body known as earth’s.
Charles W. Hamilton was a man who made many friends both socially and in his business affairs. He was a man of esteemed worth and excellent character, discreet in judgement, kind and obliging to all, and a respected citizen. He was a long and patient sufferer but his endeavor was to extend all the sunshine possible into the lives of those with whom he was associated.
He leaves to mourn their loss a wife who has ever with kindness and fortitude stood by his side through all these years of suffering, administering and comforting; one son; his father, G. W. Hamilton; and two brothers, G. F. of Council Bluffs and W. A. of Chicago.

A telephone message received here this morning announced the death at Red Oak last night, of Miss Gussie Harvey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Harvey, formerly of Clarinda. Miss Harvey had been an invalid for several years. Her sister, Mrs. A. J. Hawley and husband, are at Red Oak. Particulars of the funeral have not been received.

[HARVEY, MAGGIE AUGUSTA “GUSSIE”]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, September 13, 1901
Maggie Augusta Harvey, born July 15, 1876, in Butler, Pa.; died Sept. 6, 1901, in Red Oak, Ia., aged 25 years 1 month and 21 days. She was the daughter of Alexander and Anna M. Harvey, citizen[s] of our city for many years and removing to Red Oak about three months ago.
Gussie, as she was familiarly called by her friends, had endeared herself to both old and young, to her immediate and far away acquaintances, and her room was always a bower of bloom, the gifts of friends who sought in this way to lighten her affliction and isolation, as well as to remind her of their love.
Hers was a life of severe and protracted suffering, covering even years of her short life. yet she was patient and gentle and continued to take a lively interest in home matters and her friends, until the last.
She made a brave fight for life and health and only to the inevitable. Yet it was not merely for life she struggled but for that love with which her life was blessed.
If ever daughter had loving, self-sacrificing parents or friend ever had constant friendship, it was she. Love is Heaven and Heaven is love, and love was lavished upon her.
July 11, 1897, she united with the Presbyterian church of this city and was also a member of the Endeavor society. Her faith in God, her trust in Jesus Christ was constant and strong, and triumphed even in death.
The funeral services were held at the home in Red Oak, Sept. 8, 1901, at 10:30 a. m., Doctors Cook and Smith officiating. The sermon by Dr. Smith, long her pastor, was from the Song of Solomon: “Set me as a seal upon thy heart; for love is strong as death.”
The burial occurred here in the afternoon, the exercises at the grave being a hymn by the choir and a prayer by the pastor.
Very many friends were present to manifest their love for the dead and sympathy with the living.
Thus closed a life simple, beautiful and lovely, the sweetness of which will long linger with those who
“Knew her but to love her,
And named her but to praise.”    T. C. S.

[HARVEY, MAGGIE AUGUSTA “GUSSIE”]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, September 13, 1901
In this department this week will be found a contributed article in the form of a tender tribute to the memory of the late Maggie Augusta Harvey of Red Oak, formerly of Clarinda, brief notice of whose death appeared in The Journal of last Friday. Miss Harvey died at 12:30 o’clock that morning (Sept. 6, 1901). In the last few days of her illness her sister, Mrs. Arthur J. Hawley and husband, with their little son, Arlo, were at Red Oak at the Harvey home, and were there when the spirit of the loved one passed from its earthly habitation to its glorious reward. Following the funeral service at Red Oak the remains were borne at 12 o’clock Sunday to an east bound train of the Burlington route and arrived here early in the afternoon accompanied by the immediate relatives, the former pastor of the deceased, Dr. T. C. Smith, and the undertakers. The sad party was met at the station in this city by many Clarinda friends. The following acted as pallbearers here: A. B. Loranz, Thomas Brown, C. L. Blair, L. N. Cleveland, George Beal and Gerald Graff. At the city cemetery the Presbyterian choir sang “Asleep in Jesus” and Dr. Smith offered prayer, after which the casket with its mortal remains was deposited in the grave. At Red Oak the bearers included M. G. Stokesberry and Ralph Pringle, two gentlemen well known in Clarinda. The service there is reported to have been very impressive and appropriate at the family home, so greatly bereft. Miss Harvey very naturally had many friends; her long illness won for her the sympathy and solicitude of an extended circle, and she departed widely and sincerely mourned and most highly respected and esteemed.

Sympathize With Mrs. Hawley.
Kindly Expression From Kansas—Where Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hawley Visited.
The Phillipsburg (Kansas) Dispatch says: Many Phillipsburg people will remember Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hawley of Clarinda, Ia., who visited in the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Rogers seven or eight years ago. Mr. Hawley was a cousin of the late Mr. Rogers. We learn by The Clarinda Journal of the death of Mrs. Hawley at her home on March 17, at the age of 88 years. This leaves Mr. Hawley, at the age of 91 years, without his companion and wife of over sixty-five years. He certainly has the sympathy of his many friends in his great bereavement.

[HAWLEY, JAMES MADISON]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, January 30, 1903
James Madison Hawley, one of the earliest settlers of Page county, died Wednesday at 9 o’clock p. m., Jan. 28, 1903, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. D. C. Chamberlain, in Clarinda.
Mr. Hawley was far advanced in years, being in the ninety-third year of his age and toward the last of his life on earth was afflicted with disease accompanied by more or less suffering.
As the end drew near his suffering was intense. He was a man of vigorous constitution and after all his going so near the century mark was as a machine wearing out; he had lived a careful life, temperate and judicious, and so was blessed with getting much in years. his decline was gradual for some months, but up to a comparatively short time ago, about the time his wife died, nearly two years ago, it was a common sight to see Mr. Hawley about town on some business. Those who knew him well remember his dignified bearing, his firm, quick step, his genial greeting of friends and deep will be their regret that the familiar form will be seen no more among them here, nor his pleasant words be heard.
This afternoon at 2 o’clock his funeral will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Chamberlain, conducted by Rev. J. N. Maclean, pastor of the Presbyterian church of which he died a member and at the close of the service his remains will be deposited in the city cemetery. The pallbearers will be G. M. Richardson, F. W. Parish, J. D. Jones, Henry Loranz, J. H. Dunlap, and William Orr.
Mr. Hawley was born May 4, 1810, at Danbury, Conn. He was a cousin of the late P. T. Barnum, the great showman, Mr. Barnum’s father having been the brother of Mr. Hawley’s mother. Mr. Hawley in his youth learned the trade of a comb maker. He was in the comb making business on his own account, later, in Dunkirk, N. Y., and between 1830 and 1840 was engaged in keeping a hotel at Detroit, Mich., the American House, at the time the best in the city; then he conducted a flour mill twelve years at Avon, Mich., after which he went to California, with the “forty-niners,” after gold, then he was in the mercantile business at St. Joseph and Filmore, Mo. In 1853 he moved to what is now Hawleyville, Page county, Ia., where he kept a store and was appointed postmaster. He was the first postmaster in Page county. Mr. Hawley moved to Clarinda in 1864 and formed a business partnership with the late Anthony Loranz. The partnership terminated the same year and Mr. Hawley moved to St. Joseph, Mo., engaged in wholesale and retail trade, and helped to incorporate and conduct the business of the St. Joseph Bridge company. In 1875 he returned to Clarinda and this city was his home thereafter until his death. After his return from St. Joseph he acted as a justice of the peace for a time.

Pioneer Dies in Coin
Mr. Geo. Heffner, another of Page County's pioneers, passed away Tuesday forenoon at the age of 53 years. Mr. Heffner came to this country in the early days and settled on a farm about three quarters of a mile south of Coin, where he lived with his family until the time of his death. He was the kind of a man who toiled early and late and thought no work too hard or exposure too great to be endured, that he might provide for his family. Thus at a comparatively early age he brought on a complication of heart and kidney trouble which resulted in his death. About a year ago Mr. Heffner had so serious an attack that it was found he would not recover. But by skillful nursing he baffled the disease and was again able to be out, look after business and do light work. In August, accompanied by his wife and daughters, he undertook a trip through Colorado to visit his sons, who were located in Hooper, and in the hope of benefiting his health. That was not to be however, for he was taken ill while there and obliged to return home before they had completed their trip. Though able to be out part of the time after his return, he was not as well even as he had been before and about three weeks ago went to "the Springs" seeking relief. After a few days he grew worse and sent for his wife and married son, who brought him home a week ago Sunday. Since then he has failed rapidly and in spite of every effort to the contrary breathed his last on Tuesday morning. Mr. Heffner was not a member of any church until a short time before his death when he sent for Rev. A. A. Walburn of the M. E. (Methodist Episcopal) Church, and asked to be received into membership, confessing his faith and expressing an earnest desire to conform to all the rites of membership in the church. He was a kind hearted man, a true friend to the needy, a devoted husband and an unusually indulgent father, so that his absence from the home circle will be almost unbearable.
He leaves a wife and six children. The eldest daughter, Ollie, preceeded her father to the better world some ten years ago. The eldest son, Wils, with his family reside on a farm about half a mile south of his father's farm. The other boys, Charles and Fred, have been holding positions in Colorado near Hooper, during the past year or more. The daughters Clara, Inez, and Lura are at home. The funeral services were held at the home Thursday at 10 a.m., conducted by Rev. A. A. Walburn, after which internment took place at Elmwood Cemetery, Coin.

COLLEGE SPRINGS, Ia., Jan. 17, 1901—The remains of Jonathan Henderson were interred in Maple Hill cemetery Tuesday afternoon. The deceased was a long time resident of this county and leaves many relatives and friends to mourn him. He departed this life Sabbath at 1:30 p. m. at the home [of] Geo. Berry in Clarinda.

Jonathan Henderson – On Sabbath last there passed away at the home of George Berry in this city Jonathan Henderson, of pneumonia. The deceased was born in the state of Indiana in 1831, of goodly parentage, and was brought up in connection with the Associate Presbyterian or Seceder church. At the union of this body with the Associate Reformed in 1858, forming the United Presbyterian church of North America, Mr. Henderson, with his friends, cast their lot with the united church. In early youth he confessed Christ our Lord and Saviour and joined the full communion of the visible church. In 1869 he moved to Page county, settling in the vicinity of College Springs. Here he resided for more than twenty years when he retired from active life and spent the eventide of his days sojourning here and there with relatives and friends. A short time since he came to reside in Clarinda, making his home with Mr. and Mrs. Berry, sen., to whose home and household he was tenderly attached for a long series of years. The late Mr. Henderson was a man of energy and enterprise and succeeded well in the things of life. He was, however, a man of singularly modest and retiring disposition. Only those who knew him well and to whom he would confide his thoughts understood his knowledge and worth. Though he has been in very poor health for a long time his last end came rather suddenly and unexpectedly. The funeral ceremonies took place on Tuesday at the home of Mr. Berry and was largely attended, Rev. J. W. S. Lowry officiating, assisted by Rev. J. W. Dill. The impressive exercises consisted of solemn prayers and comforting scripture lessons, mingled with the singing of plaintive Psalms of inspiration which produced a deep effect upon all present. Rev. Lowry spoke on Psalms xc, 10. “The days of our years are three score years and ten.” The interment took place at College Springs cemetery where brief funeral exercises were led by Rev. S. E. Martin, to whose congregation the departed had formerly belonged.

John Samuel Herron – The many friends and neighbors of John S. [amuel] Herron from over the community were grieved and shocked Friday to hear of his death Thursday night of last week at the hospital at Halstead, Kans. Mr. Herron had been operated on a couple of weeks previous and while not recovering as was hoped for, the last few days before his death, he seemed to be rallying nicely.
Mr. Herron was one of the pioneers in Gray County and had a host of warm friends who mourn his passing. He was loved and respected by his neighbors and friends alike, for his sterling qualities. He was at all times a booster for the community and for all things he felt would be an improvement.
John Samuel Herron was born at Scoggsfield, Ohio, December 24th, 1854, and departed this life May 3rd, 1923, at Halstead hospital following an operation. Age 68 years, 4 months and 9 days.

In the Spring of 1886 the family moved to Kansas, locating on a homestead just north of Cimarron, which remained their home until the fall of 1915 when because of his failing health they moved to their home in Cimarron.
While still a young man he accepted Christ as his Savior and with wife affiliated with the United Presbyterian Church. Throughout a long life he has remained true to his ideals of Christian manhood. Passing through the many hardships incident to the development of a new territory, he never shirked his responsibilities but by his honesty and steadfastness he won the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens, representing them for a number of years in public office as a county commissioner and at the very last serving in a public office as Justice of the Peace.
He leaves to mourn his departure his wife, five children, 8 grandchildren, two brothers and a large host of friends and acquaintances. The funeral service Sunday afternoon at the Community Church brought out an exceptionally large number of friends to pay their respects to his memory. Rev. Cunningham of Spearville was in charge of the funeral service.

Herron, at Redding. The family moved to Page county, Iowa, where they have resided until last May when they came to Redding. Mrs. Herron was a very earnest Christian woman of the old fashioned typed. Her home and her church were side by side in her affections. In her estimation the place of honor in both the home and the church was occupied by her Savior. Her bible was her constant companion. Her pastor’s calls were always gladly welcomed, and it was always her wish that he should read to her a portion of God’s word and lead in prayer.
During her long sickness she was very patient. Although at times she endured severe suffering, she was free from a complaining spirit. In her death, as in her life, she bore the fruit of the spirit, giving the strongest evidence that she was a branch of the True Vine.
Funeral services were held at the house Thursday afternoon, conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. W. Johnston, assisted by Rev. S. F. Thompson.

He broke prairie then where Villisca now stands.
Jacob Higgins was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Balentine in 1857. Mr. and Mrs. Higgins moved to Illinois and located near Galesburg in 1860 and returned to Ohio after four years. In 1870 they moved to Iowa, to the vicinity of Villisca where they lived the remainder of their lives.

Those who remain to mourn his demise besides his three children are: One brother F. W. of Villisca and one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Cunningham of Berrysville, Ohio and a host of other relatives and friends.
The cause of Mr. Higgins death was practically old age which resulted in the failing of mental faculties.

Killed While Hunting
Wm. Horton Accidentally Shot by Marshall Owens
A distressingly sad accident took place near Hawleyville last Friday afternoon. Wm. Horton was accidentally shot by his intimate friend, Marshall Owens, while hunting rabbits.
A party of four or five had gone to the woods to hunt rabbits. Owens saw a rabbit in a brush heap and drew up his gun to shoot. His hands were cold and in attempting to cock the gun the hammer slipped from his numbed fingers, discharging the piece, the heavy charge of No. 4 shot striking Horton, who was about twenty feet away, in the neck and breast. Some of the shot penetrated his heart and he fell dead without uttering a word.
Coroner Millen was summoned and impanelled a jury consisting of E. E. Hill, A. M. Collier and Z. S. Kindall, who brought in a verdict of death by accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of Marshall Owens and finding no blame to any one for the accident.
Mr. Horton was twenty-six years old and leaves a wife and two small children. Mr. Owens is about the same age and is a son-in-law of Dan Goodman of Hawleyville. The sad affair has cast a gloom over the community and is a most terrible and crushing blow to the widow and orphans of Mr. Horton, who, it is understood, are left in almost destitute circumstances.

Dr. Hoyt was a comparatively young man, being but 41 years old, but he had held various responsible professional positions. For several years was a physician in insane asylum No. 2, at St. Joseph, Mo. He left this position to become superintendent of a state infirmary at Clarinda, Ia. Later he went to Mt. Pleasant, Ia., where he held a similar position. He was a hard worker and the responsibilities he assumed placed too great a strain upon him. He broke down and went South, hoping for improvement but the change did him no good. He came to Kansas City from Fort Worth a week ago and had been at Scarritt hospital.
Dr. Hoyt was a brother-in-law of Henry C. Garner, of Kansas City.

Frank C. Hoyt Is Dead
Superintendent of Iowa State Hospital at Kansas City. Was Formerly at the Head of the Hospital For the Insane at Clarinda—Died Superintendent of the Hospital at Mount Pleasant—Death Attributed to Overwork.
Dr. Frank C. Hoyt died Tuesday morning, May 21, 1901, at the Scarritt hospital, Kansas City. He was brought there last week from Fort Worth, Tex., by his brother-in-law, H. C. Garner. Dr. Hoyt had been in the south for the benefit of his health, which was broken. An associated press dispatch says that he died from tuberculosis. The Kansas City Star in reporting his demise says that he had overworked himself to such an extent that his trip south did him no good. The Des Moines Capital has a special from Kansas City in which it is said that he was being treated for mental trouble, but this is discredited at The Hospital for the Insane at Clarinda, where information has been received to the effect that he died of acute rheumatism. The Des Moines Register says: “Dr. Hoyt was on his way from Fort Worth, Tex. About six weeks ago he took a much needed rest, going to Colorado, where he picked up rapidly. He then went to Texas, where he was attacked with rheumatism. He started home last week and it is supposed that he was taken with rheumatism of the heart at Kansas City.
Death Attributed to Overwork.
Hon. T. E. Clark of this city, who is a third cousin of Mrs. Hoyt and in a position to know much about the doctor, attributes the death to overwork and lack of exercise. Mr. Clark says that when Dr. Hoyt was superintendent here of The Hospital for the Insane at Clarinda, he seldom took any exercise except such as he obtained by walking through the building and in occasional drives to town in his carriage. Mr. Clark also says that Dr. Hoyt was a persistent worker and seldom went to bed until after midnight.
Superintendent of Clarinda Hospital.
Dr. Hoyt assumed the superintendency of the Clarinda hospital Jan. 1, 1893, and held the position until Sept. 30, 1898, when he left it by resignation. When he was chosen to the place the hospital was under the control of a board of trustees. His resignation was tendered to the state board of control soon after the management of state institutions passed into its hands.
From Clarinda to Chicago.
On leaving Clarinda in the fall of 1898 Dr. Hoyt announced that he moved to Chicago for the purpose of educating his children and to take a position in a private sanitarium for the treatment of the insane. Others were to join him in the sanitarium but his plans in regard to it did not develop and within a short time after Dr. Hoyt left Clarinda a vacancy occurred in the office of superintendent of The Hospital for the Insane at Mount Pleasant by the death of Dr. H. A. Gilman. The state board of control gave the position to Dr. Hoyt.
Dies Comparatively Young.
Dr. Hoyt was somewhere near 40 years of age at the time of his death, possibly under that figure. He came to Clarinda from St. Joseph, Mo., where he had studied medicine and been engaged in hospital work. For some time he was a physician in asylum No. 2, for the insane, at St. Joseph. Dr. Hoyt leaves a widow and three daughters, Mabel, Eugenie and Margaret. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and of the Masonic fraternity. He carried life insurance to the amount of $25,000. He was ambitious, aggressive, and one of the strictest disciplinarians.
Funeral services were held in respect to his memory, Wednesday afternoon, at Kansas City.

In Memory of Dr. Hoyt
The following resolutions with regard to the late superintendent of the hospital at Mt. Pleasant and for seven years superintendent of the hospital at Clarinda, were adopted at the quarterly conference of the superintendents of state institutions which was just concluded at Des Moines:
Whereas, The Heavenly Father in his inscrutable providence saw fit to call to rest in Kansas City, May 21, 1901, our beloved co-laborer, Dr. Frank C. [rampton] Hoyt, late superintendent of the Hospital for the Insane at Mt. Pleasant; and Whereas, The quarterly conference of the superintendents is now being held in the rooms of the Board of Control of State Institutions of Iowa; therefore
We hereby record our belief that in his death this commonwealth has lost, while yet in his prime and in the midst of great usefulness, an indefatigable worker and a most skillful superintendent.
Deprived of parents at an early age, his great achievements were wholly the result of an indomitable perseverance and of unrelaxing energy. By experience as the editor of a medical journal and as a demonstrator of anatomy in the college where he graduated; as health physician and as general practitioner in medicine; also by post graduate study and as pathologist for six years in the State Hospital for the Insane at St. Joseph, Mo., Dr. Hoyt became well qualified to take charge of the hospital at Clarinda, which he developed into a model institution by six years of most satisfactory service. Three years ago he resigned his position to locate in Chicago for the purpose of engaging in private practice, also to establish a secret society which he had devised to promote fellowship among physicians, known as the Mystic Order of the Disciples of Aesculapius; but out of a sense of duty he responded to the call of the board of control after an absence from the state of less than one month to fill an unexpected vacancy at Mt. Pleasant.
Dr. Hoyt was by nature endowed with rare qualities which made him eminent as an executive officer. He was an organizer of rare ability, giving careful attention to details. He was both scientific and systematic in his methods of performance. Although an autocrat in spirit he was uniformly respected and admired by his associates. He was scrupulously thoughtful of the welfare of the patients placed in his charge, believing that state care of the insane is none too good for all person afflicted with mental impairment. He believed that hospitals should be first class in every particular and to this end he devoted all his energies. His life work ended early but was well done.
In the councils of this body we shall long miss the good suggestions we have often heard him make and the friendly intercourse with him so much enjoyed by all members of this conference will long be missed. We shall ever treasure in our memories the noble qualities of his character.
To the bereaved widow and the daughters we wish to extend our most sincere sympathy.

Paul Sebastian Hunter was born in St. Lawrence county, N. Y., April 30, 1830, and died at his home in Northboro, Ia., April 2, 1901, aged 70 years 11 months and 3 days. His life was in many ways a remarkable one, living as he did to see so many changes and such wonderful progress. His father died when he was quite young, leaving to him the care of his mother. Early in life he learned the ship carpenter’s trade, which trade he followed for about twenty years, serving the government in that capacity during the war of the rebellion. He was married to Mary Ann White in 1852 and to them were born thirteen children, seven of whom are still living. Two children are buried in New York, two in St. Joseph and two in the Union Grove cemetery. In 1860 he moved to St. Louis, Mo., and later to St. Joseph. In 1869 he purchased land in Page county, Ia., coming that spring. He was one of the pioneer settlers of this county and for several years took his grain to Rock Port, Mo., to get it ground, fording streams to get there and Clarinda was the nearest trading point. Mr. Hunter built many of the early houses in this part of the county and was for twenty years county bridge builder. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter were Roman Catholics and had all their children baptized in that faith. About thirty years ago he united with the Methodist episcopal church of which he remained a faithful member until his death. He was prompt and regular in his attendance and was a firm believer in the power of prayer. He was a man of strong character, full of energy and with a noble nature which could not stoop to anything mean or dishonorable. He was quick to sympathize with and help those in need. His wife died Dec. 23, 1887, and June 4, 1890, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Ellen Rochfort, who is left to mourn the loss of a companion. He attended church and testified at the class meeting less than forty hours before his death, and one of the last acts of his life was to take down his Bible, which was worn till the leaves are falling out and, as was his custom, read a chapter and had family prayer and six hours later he saw his Lord face to face. His death was caused by neuralgia of the heart. His only living brother, whose home is in St. Louis, is an invalid and could not attend the funeral. A short service was held at the house, and funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal church, April 4, conducted by his pastor, Rev. W. Mercer, after which he was laid to rest in the Union Grove cemetery, where less than six weeks before his son was buried.  [Poem not transcribed.]

His last days were spent with parents, a sister and three brothers, who tenderly cared for him and who now have the sympathy of friends and neighbors. His was a quiet life in our community and the keenest sorrow will come to the near ones and those who respected him and called him a friend. The funeral services were held at the M.
