Simon Good – Simon Good was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, Dec 7, 1860. At the age of five he moved with his parents to Page county, Iowa, where he grew to manhood, obtaining a liberal education in that state, passing his summers in farm work before he left school.
He soon began farming on his own account.
On Aug. 8, 1883, he was united in marriage with Miss Lulu Allen, of Andrew county, this state. Nine children have blessed this union and all with their mother survive. The children are Ray, Verne, Paul, and Leland, all of Chicago; Ted, of Minneapolis; Carl and Earl of Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. Mabel Sensintaffar, De Ridder, La., and Mrs. Ocle Wilson, Laclede, all with the exception of Mrs. Sensintaffar were present at the funeral.
In 1902 Mr. and Mrs. Good with their fine family moved to Missouri and Mr. Good bought the 200 acre farm a few miles west of Linneus. In addition to farming he was a breeder of Percheron horses and high grade mules, cattle and hogs for the market.
Mr. Good's highest attainment was in always being a Christian gentleman and together with his devout Christian companion they conducted a Christian home, at the same time providing each of their children with a fundamental and higher education as their lives and occupation now verify.
The deceased was a devout member of the M E church and was always active in the work of the church and all other movements designed to promote the welfare of the community and county.
Mr. Good had been in failing health for more than a year and had been critically ill at their home in Linneus of heart trouble since last December when the children were all called home thinking the end was near.

[GRAHAM, MARY STEWART]

Died. – Mrs. Mary Stewart Graham, near Hepburn, March 16, 1899. The deceased was born May 10, 1814, at Claysville, Washington county, Penna. She was married to James Graham March 4, 1834. Eight children were born to them, five of whom are living—C. W. Graham of Cripple Creek, Colo., Mrs. L. J. Brownlee, Mrs. Eva Black, E. S. Graham of Hepburn and R. M. Graham of Blanchard. The deceased was left a widow in 1879. She came to Alexis, Ill., in 1842 and from there to Iowa in 1883. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Brockett, her pastor, she being a member of the North Page congregation. She was converted in early youth and has lived a true and devoted Christian until the Master called her home. She has been an invalid for two years and her last sickness lasted four weeks. She suffered a great deal yet all this time she was willing to submit to the Lord's will. The body was taken back to Alexis, Ill. and laid to rest by the side of her companion who had gone on before her. We can all sympathize with the friends in their sad bereavement in the loss of a loving friend and mother. Rev. Brockett's text was from Job, "I know that my Redeemer liveth."

[GRAHAM, MARY STEWART]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, March 31, 1899
Again we are called upon to chronicle a visit of the Death Angel, this time at the home of Mrs. Eva Black, two and one-half miles northwest of Hepburn, the victim being Mrs. Mary Stewart Graham, who died on Thursday, March 16, 1899, at the ripe old age of 84 years, 10 months and 6 days. Mother Graham, as she was familiarly called, the daughter of Thomas and Mary Stewart , was born May 10, 1814, near Claysville, Washington county, Pa. She was married to James Graham in 1835 and eight years later she accompanied her husband to Alexis, Ill. In 1879 Mr. Graham died and in 1883 she with her children came to Page county, Ia., where she continued to reside near North Page until the day of her death. She was the mother of eight children, five of whom, C. W. Graham, now of Cripple Creek, Col., Mrs. L. J. Brownlee, Mrs. Eva Black, E. S. Graham of Hepburn and R. M. Graham of Blanchard, survive her and with the exception of the son at Cripple Creek, were all with her at the time of her death. Nineteen grandchildren and six great grandchildren survive her and mourn her loss. For two years previous to her death she was an invalid, though her last illness was for only four weeks, when paralysis caused her death. She was conscious of everything around her and suffered much until the last minute. The funeral services occurred at the home of Mrs. Black on Friday and were conducted by Rev. O. G. Brockett, pastor of the North Page United Presbyterian congregation, after which the remains, accompanied by E. S. Graham and Mrs. Black were taken to Alexis, Ill., for burial. Mother Graham was a woman of marked characteristics, intelligent, industrious and frugal; she was a model wife and mother. She possessed a deep religious nature and made a public profession of her faith in the youth time of her life and was always an ornament to her profession. I think the poet Tennyson must have been thinking of such as she when he sang:
Happy he With such a mother! Faith in womankind
Beats with his blood and trust in all things
     high
Comes easy to him and though he trip and
      fall
He shall not blind his soul with clay.
Rarely has any family of children received better instruction in all that makes life nobly successful, by both example and precept, than had the children of Mrs. Graham. While a resident of Illinois she was a member of Henderson and Alexis United Presbyterian congregations. After coming to Page county, she united with the United Presbyterian congregation at North Page and held her membership there at the time of her death. A favorite scriptural text of hers was, "I know that my Redeemer liveth," and that was the basis of Mr. Brockett's funeral sermon. The entire neighborhood mourns with the bereaved relatives the death of Mother Graham.    A.    Hepburn, March 21, 1899.

SHAMBAUGH (Special) – With the death of Ezra Hardee, this Thursday morning at the home of his son in Hopkins, passes an era of Page county history. He was the last member of the first white family to settle in Page.
Hardee was 87 years old and had been in ill health since October. He lived on the same farm east of Shambaugh for all except four years of his life. He was born in Page county.
He is survived by four children, Mrs. Ortha [Orpha]Vardiman [Vardaman] and Estes Hardee of Shambaugh, Emory Hardee of Hopkins, Mo and Inez Sumner of Silver Cliff, Calif.

Ezra P Hardee – When Ezra P [ulaski] Hardee, the last surviving member of a well-known pioneer family, died at the farm home of his son, Emery Hardee, near Hopkins, Mo, at 4 a m Jan 20th, 1949, Page County lost one of its honored and respected citizens. Mr. Hardee was the youngest son of William M and Elizabeth Farley Hardee, and he was born on the old family homestead in Buchanan township, Page county, Sept 26, 1861, just at the start of the Civil war.
Mr. Hardee was the grandson of John Hardee, a sturdy Scotch-Irish man who had been born in Dinwiddie County, Virginia and who as a young man with his brothers had fought at Bunker Hill and was present at the surrender of the British soldiers at Yorktown, Va, to General George Washington.
From such worthy ancestry the young man grew to manhood, attending the district schools and helping his father farm the prairie land until 1884 when he helped drive a heard of 140 cattle to the Wyoming territory. Often he had stated that on that trek west the men were always able to replenish their supply of fresh meat by shooting deer whenever it was necessary, as game was plentiful in those days.
On March 6th 1884, Mr Hardee was married to Miss Nancy Jane Adams, the daughter of John Quincy and Jane Kent Adams. To this marriage were born seven children, Otis, William Quincy, Inez, Orpha, App and Emery. Of these children only Mrs Inez Sumner of Silver Cliff, Colo., Mrs Orpha Vardaman of Shambaugh and Emery Hardee of Hopkins, survive, as well as 16 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
On the 25th of April 1905, the wife and mother died and sometime later Mr Hardee married Miss Mary L Martin of Andrew county, Mo and to this union was born one son, Estes Hardee, who lives on his farm east of Shambaugh. Mr. Hardee's widow survives him, although in poor health.
For over 65 years Mr Hardee was a member in good standing of the Plumb Lodge No 285, at Siam, A F & A M. He has also been a long-time member of the Christian church at Siam.
The members of the Masonic Lodge exemplified their last rites Tuesday, Jan 25, for Mr Hardee at the Walker Funeral home, Ira Newton in charge. The services of the church were conducted by Rev Vernon R Carter of the Clarinda Christian church and Rev Ray Snodgrass.
Interment was in the family lot at the Shearer cemetery, northeast of Braddyville.

Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, May 19, 1899
One of the largest funerals ever held in the county was that held over the remains of David Harris, a deceased soldier of the civil war, at his late home in Hawleyville, yesterday afternoon. One hundred and twelve carriages were in the procession to the cemetery, twelve or fifteen carriages being present from Clarinda. The G. A. R. Post attended in a body and after the services conducted by Rev. Harvey, the Post took charge and buried their comrade with military honors. Following are some of the facts of the life of this, one of Page county's best citizens, who has gone to his long rest: -- He was born August 8, 1844, in Iredele [Iredell] county, North Carolina and was one of a family of eleven children. In 1850 they moved to Indiana where they resided for six years, when David came to Hawleyville and has resided here ever since. In 1867 he was married to Miss Nina  [Mina] Young. Eight children have been born to them, only three surviving. Mr. Harris died on last Tuesday, May 16, of stomach catarrh, after a long and useful life of 54 years, 9 months and 8 days. His war record is as follows: -- Enlisted Major Berry's Cavalry about Sept. 1861 and in Feb. 1862 was discharged. Re-enlisted Sept. 23, 1862 in Co. K 25th Mo. Inft., and on the 4th day of Feb. 1864, the regiment was consolidated with the engineer regiment of the west and was called the 1st Mo. Engineers. The letter of the Co. was changed to G and the regiment was attached to the 15th army corps, commanded by General John A. Logan. Oct. 1864 there were so many men discharged by reason of expiration of term of service that the regiment was consolidated into five companies and the letter of the Co. was changed to C. The regiment had charge of pontoon bridges on Sherman's famous march to the sea and on through the Carolinas and the Virginias to Washington City and was at the grand review which took place there after the close of the war. The regiment went from there to Louisville, Ky., where they were discharged. From there Mr. Harris went to Indianapolis, from which place he returned to Louisville, Ky., to look after his two sick brothers, of which one of them died at that place, the other returning home to Page county.

[HART, AXEL AUGUST]
Essex Independent (Essex, Iowa), Friday, October 15, 1915
Though somewhat expected, the death of Axel Hart came as a severe shock to the people of Essex and community. Five weeks ago on Wednesday, while about his duties on the farm, he was kicked by a horse. Medical attention was given him at once and for several days he seemed to be getting along nicely. On the Wednesday night one week later, he was taken suddenly worse, and the next morning was taken to Omaha where he entered a hospital for treatment. In his weakened condition the attending physicians thought best not to perform an operation until he became stronger. He rallied somewhat under the treatment and a few days ago submitted to an operation. The operation proved successful, and he was getting along as well as could be expected and was very cheerful in the thought that he would soon be well again. Sunday a change for the worse came and his relatives were summoned to his bedside that evening. He passed away Tuesday night and the remains were brought to Essex Wednesday night and taken to the home east of Essex where they will keep it till Sunday when the funeral will be held at 10:00 AM at the house and 11 o'clock at the Fremont Mission Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. K. Forseman and interment had in Essex Cemetery.
Axel August Hart was born in Sweden, November 4, 1865 and at the time of death was 49 years, 11 months, and 8 days old. When yet a small boy he came with his parents to America, settling first in Illinois, where they remained only a short time, then in Montgomery County, Iowa, for a short time, then in Page County where he has since resided.
For a brief while Mr. Hart was in business in Essex, but concluded that he liked the farm better, and sold out, returning to the country, where he has made extensive improvements by the erection of a fine new home and only last fall he purchased the John O. Lindell farm, making him a farm of 378 acres.
Mr. Hart was one of a family of ten children, four brothers and five sisters left to mourn. They are Alfred and Oscar of Essex, Iowa, Joseph of Kansas, and Otto of California, Mrs. Alfred Skalberg, Mrs. Alfred Engster, and Tena of Essex, Iowa, Mrs. John Erickson of Nebraska, and Mrs. Chas Abraham of South Dakota. His aged mother, with the youngest daughter, lives in Essex, Iowa.
Mr. Hart was married April 26, 1890, to Miss Amanda Malmberg. To this union nine children were born, four of them preceding the father to the Great Beyond. The others who, with the wife, are left to mourn, are Alvin, age 22, Gertie, wife of Carl Renander; Chester, age 15, and the younger daughters, Millicent and Winifred.
His going is a hard blow to the family, to the aged mother, and to his many friends.

Hampton Herald (Hampton, Nebraska), Thursday, January 8, 1885
Departed This Life – At Hampton, Neb., Sunday, Dec. 28, 1884, at the age of 30 years, 6 months, 15 days, our esteemed Brother H. L. Hellen, Editor of The Hampton Herald, Funeral from his late residence, Monday, Dec. 29, 1884.
H. L. Hellen, Esqr., was born in Jefferson, Jefferson county, Wis., June 12, 1854; was a school teacher, which profession he followed until his health failed so as to make it impossible for him to continue that business. He then learned the printer art. He moved to Page county, Iowa, April 1, 1880, where he remained for a short time, then came to Nebraska, stopping in Fillmore county one year, when he removed to Hampton in May 1882 and established the Hampton Journal which he conducted ably for a time then sold out and engaged in loan and insurance business. He established the Hampton Herald in Feb. 1884 and was editor and publisher at the time of his decease. He was appointed Justice of the Peace for Valley precinct in July, 1884 and was ex officio magistrate of the Village of Hampton, to which office he was elected at the general election in Nov. 1884 and held at the time of death. He was never of strong constitution being afflicted by that dread disease consumption and for the last two years was only kept from his bed by his indomitable energy. Mr. Hellen was a man in every way worthy the respect and esteem of his fellow men and had he been blessed with health would have climbed high up on the ladder of usefulness and fame. Very few men at his time of life have, with good health and much better opportunities, accomplished what he had. If all our young men who enjoy good health would only emulate his example the world would be much better for it.

PLEASANT RIDGE, MORTON – Harry LeRoy Henderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Henderson, living five miles northwest of Coin, died at his home Saturday morning, Oct. 6, at 2:20 o'clock, of heart trouble. He was born in Page county, Ia., Sept. 30, 1883, and at the time of his death was 16 years and 7 days old. He was converted and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in Coin during the winter of 1895, during the revival held by Rev. Mr. Shipman, his pastor, and Rev. H. Smith, an evangelist. Harry was a bright, intelligent boy, full of energy and ambition, and was always planning for the future. He never had very good health, but it was never considered dangerous until last winter, when he had a severe attack of la grippe from which he never fully recovered. He gradually failed in health until the angel of death called him home. During his days of suffering he was always patient and kind and never complained of his illness. He was a strong advocate for that which was always right, which won him many warm friends that will miss his smiling countenance. He was kind and loving to parents, sister and brothers. Funeral services were held in the home Sabbath morning at 9 o'clock, Oct. 8, conducted by Rev. A. A. Walburn, the new pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. His remarks were on the first part of the Lord's prayer. Singing was furnished by the members of the Methodist Episcopal choir. Many beautiful floral offerings were given by sympathizing friends. The remains were then laid away in the Clarinda cemetery by the side of dear ones who had gone before. After a prayer and a few remarks delivered by Rev. E. E. Ilgenfritz, pastor of the Clarinda Methodist Episcopal church, the pall bearers, consisting mostly of the members of his Sunday school class, they were: Albert Lovitt, Cole Guthrie, Everett Wheeler, Frank and Alva Goodman and Ward Manifold, lowered all that was mortal of a dear one in his grave. Beside his parents, he leaves four brothers and one sister. But they sorrow not as those that have no hope, for they believe that Jesus died and rose again, and that at the resurrection he will bring his own with him.  [Poem not transcribed.]

[HENSHAW, CLARA MELVINA BROWN]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, August 11, 1899
Mrs. O. F. Henshaw, a well known Clarinda lady, died last Sunday and was buried Tuesday in the Clarinda city cemetery. She formerly was active with her husband in the management of the Henshaw House, a hotel of this city where herself and husband entertained thousands of guests yearly. The following obituary notice of the estimable lady has been furnished The Journal for publication:
Clara Melvina Brown, who was born in St. Lawrence county, N. Y., Jan. 28, 1831, died Sunday afternoon, Aug. 6, 1899, at 2:30 o'clock, at her home in Clarinda, Ia.
During her childhood her parents moved to Erie county, N. Y., where she grew to womanhood. She was married to Oscar F. [reeman] Henshaw, Dec. 25, 1851. One week later, at the yearly watch meeting, they were received into the Methodist Episcopal church at Aurora, N. Y., by Rev. J. Bowman, who officiated at their marriage. They lived at West Falls, Erie county, until the spring of 1856, when they moved to Taylor county, Ia., living there ten years and then in the spring of 1866 removing to Clarinda where they have since resided. Ten children were born to them; eight died during infancy.
Surviving her are her husband, her daughter, Mrs. Anna M. Taylor of Merrill, Ia., her son, Horace S. Henshaw of St. Joseph, Mo., three grandchildren and one great grandchild.
In the summer of 1887, Mrs. Henshaw changed her membership with the Methodist Episcopal church to the Free Methodist church, where as an official member, she has been an untiring worker; liberal in her contributions to the extent of self-sacrifice and so generous in her hospitality that her home was called by her co-workers, "The Pilgrim's Retreat."
In her position as hostess of the hotel for so many years, her wide spread opportunities for good were not neglected. To her uniform courtesy and kind care of her guests, were added that personal interest which springs from an unwavering Christian faith, that leads to kindly acts; such as placing a good book in the sleeping rooms, with the hope that the written message might lift some needy soul to that larger life which lies within the reach of everyone.
Through the long, painful illness that closed her labors here, her patient endurance has been a marvel to all. She knew that death was near and planned for it, as she planned for all the duties of this life, frequently expressing her submission to the will of the Father in this, as in all things.
[Note: Her headstone gives her birth year as 1832. The same obituary was published in the Clarinda Herald, August 11, 1899.]

He had been living there about three years with his two daughters, Mrs. W. C. Reed and Miss Thetta Hill, having removed from Beatrice, Neb.

She was born in Sweden Jan. 18, 1848, and emigrated to America when quite young. She was married to Gust A. Hillman Jan. 31, 1875, and to them were born six sons, two of them having preceded her to the heavenly home. A sorrow stricken husband and four sons (the youngest 10 years old), are left to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and a true and loving mother; she also leaves one sister and a brother, beside a host of friends. For the past ten years she has been a great sufferer and although every remedy that could be thought of was tried, only temporary relief was obtained. Through all her suffering she seemed contented and was always pleasant to every one. The husband and sons have done all they could think of to help and cheer their beloved one. The funeral was held Tuesday, Feb. 13, by short services at the family residence and then proceeded to the Swedish Lutheran church at Essex, of which the deceased had been a member ever since its organization and as an evidence of the esteem in which she was held, was shown by the large number of people in attendance and the beautiful floral tributes that covered the casket. Rev. Peterson preached an appropriate sermon and spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing husband and children. Interment was made in the Essex cemetery.

[HOWARTER, HENRY]
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Tuesday, October 31, 1899
Mrs. G. W. Dudley of Hawleyville is mourning this week over the death of her aged father, Mr. Henry Howarter, of Denison, Texas. Mr. Howarter was visiting with his daughter at Hawleyville only two years ago and many people will remember him. The Denison Herald contained the following obituary notice of the deceased:
"Henry Howarter was born in Lebanon county, Pa., Oct. 8, 1810. In the year 1834 he was married to Miss Eliza Wyatt of Virginia, who has been his faithful and devoted companion through all these sixty-five years. For thirty-five years he was actively engaged in business in Zanesville, O. During the last quarter of a century his home has been with his daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Hockett, five years in this city and the preceding ten at San Antonio. As a businessman he was widely influential because of his public spirit combined with unimpeachable honor and integrity. He delighted in the quiet associations of a modern homelife. He was liberal with his money, helpful with his counsel, optimistic in his views and very companionable because always cheerful and considerate—a real "gentleman of the old school." The borrowed time allotted him had been well spent, for his words were always those of hope and courage to those who sought the sunshine of his retreat and the four generations who could gather about him realized the uplift from his sweet spirit.
Mr. Howarter had been an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church for sixty-four years, holding the highest offices, as layman, within its gift. Although 89 summers had passed over his head, his heart was still young and he kept pace with all work for the good of children and young people, in which he was very helpful through more than an ordinary lifetime.
From all these associations such a character will be missed more than words can express but for those who are connected by the ties of kindred there can be no adequate expressions of sympathy. For these, however, there are congratulations with tears, for such an inheritance is priceless and only sweet memories cluster about the story of his life. He leaves an aged widow and five children: Mrs. Hockett, on West Sears street, where he has lived; Mrs. Townsend, of El Reno, Okla.; Mrs. Dudley, of Iowa; Mr. H. E. Howarter of Cleveland, O.; and Mr. T. W. Howarter of St. Louis. Of the grandchildren, Mrs. W. B. Markham, Mrs. Colby and Messrs. Harry and Ernest Hockett are well known in this city."

[HUMPHREYS, MARGARET KING STEVENSON]
Sterling Kansas Bulletin (Sterling, Kansas), Friday, March 31, 1899
Mrs. James Humphreys – On Sunday morning, March 26th, Mrs. James Humphreys, living northeast of Sterling, passed away. She had not been well during the winter, suffering from pneumonia and upon recovering somewhat went out too soon. This probably brought on a relapse, yet her condition was not thought to be dangerous until quite recently. Her family—mostly grown sons and daughters—will miss the kind and loving care which she always gave them, and her husband will mourn one who has always been a helpmeet during the many years of struggle along life's rugged pathway.

He married Samaria Hecox in 1848. Ten children were born to them, of whom one died in infancy; the others still survive with their widowed mother to mourn the loss of a loving father and husband. Bro. Hunter was converted in early youth and united with the Methodist Episcopal church of which he continued a faithful member until the end of his days, adorning his profession with a godly life.

The funeral services were held in the Hawleyville M. E. church, Aug. 1, the writer preaching from Rom. 8 18. The remains were interred in the Hawleyville cemetery. May the remembrance of his patience and confidence in God abide with all who knew him.    R. E. Harvey.
