Charles O. Parish Dead.
Son of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Parish Succumbs to Pneumonia. His Fatal Illness Was of Short Duration—A Young Man of Great Ability Stricken at Time of Great Promise of Usefulness—The Remains Brought Home For Burial.
Charles Osborne Parish, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Parish of this city, died at 12:40 p. m. Wednesday in Chicago.
He was carried away by pneumonia, the initial chill of which he had Thursday night of last week. His fatal illness took place at the private boarding house in Chicago where he made his home. Friends did for him from the start all that they could but his condition became so serious by Monday morning that his roommate, F. S. Monroe, took the matter into his own hands and telegraphed to Mr. Parish in this city, suggesting that he come to Chicago, carefully wording the message about Charles' illness in a manner not to frighten his parents.
In response to the telegram, Mr. Parish left Monday evening for Chicago, accompanied by the family physician, Dr. H. L. Cokenower, and these gentlemen arrived in that city Tuesday morning. They found Charles in a critical condition. Everything was done for him that could be by his father and Dr. Cokenower, who were assisted by Chicago physicians and others and while it was found that he had an even chance for recovery Wednesday forenoon, the change was subsequently on the side of death and he passed away at 12:40 o'clock that afternoon in the arms of his father.
Charles had been home to spend Christmas and returned to Chicago only the night before he was taken with pneumonia. He had not been well for some time when here but there was not the slightest warning that death was near, as he was able to be around as usual and eager for his work.
The new of his death was received here as a shock and great sorrow and all over town expressions of deep regret and sympathy with the bereaved family were heard.
Mr. Parish arrived home yesterday afternoon with the remains of Charles. The funeral takes place this afternoon at the family home, the service being conducted by Rev. T. C. Smith, D. D., pastor of the Presbyterian church.
Charles was born Sept. 28, 1875, at Council Bluffs, this state, and when he was about six months old his parents moved to Clarinda where the family has since resided. He graduated from the Clarinda public schools in 1891, after which he attended Lake Forest university, from which he graduated in 1895. In 1896 he took the degree of master of arts at the Chicago university and in 1899 graduated from the law department of Harvard university. He was one of the best educated of young men and without doubt had the best education of any young man who ever went out of Clarinda.
It was characteristic of Charles to study in and out of school. He was persistent and continuous in his application. When he went to Lake Forest he was behind in collegiate requirements but made up all of them. He earned and received the master of arts degree in one year's work instead of the two ordinarily devoted to its acquirement. At Harvard he had the best standing of anyone in his class and was selected to head the list of editors of The Harvard Law Review. He was also chosen marshal of field day at Harvard, the first western young man who ever received that distinction. At the time of his death he was connected with the law business of Attorney Roberts in the Home Insurance building, Chicago. Had he lived he would undoubtedly have been widely recognized as a lawyer of the first rank.
He was a noble young man, a credit to himself and his parents and an honor to any circle in which he moved.
A sister, Grace, with the parents, shares in the sympathy of the community.

Mrs. Julia Etta Pfander, wife of H. C. Pfander, died Sunday morning, Aug. 26, 1900, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Van Vactor, two miles west of this city. The funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Van Vactor Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz, and interment took place in the city cemetery. Miss Julia Etta Van Vactor was born in Edgar county, Ill., Nov. 26, 1880, and about two years ago she removed with her parents to Page county. She was married to H. [orace] C. [lyde] Pfander Nov. 22, 1899. Mr. and Mrs. Pfander made their home in Texas a few months, returning to this vicinity a short time ago. A babe was born to Mr. and Mrs. Pfander about three weeks ago, soon after which Mrs. Pfander was taken with quick consumption, which resulted in her death. The words chosen for the text of the sermon, "Her sun went down ere it was noon," were very appropriate indeed. Etta, as she was usually called, lived not for herself alone, as she was always more happy when helping the poor and distressed. None knew her but to love her, none saw her but to praise. She maintained consciousness to the last and about five minutes before breathing her last, she called her brother and all present to her bedside and bade them goodbye, shaking hands with each.

Fatality at College Springs
Curtis Pierce Loses His Life Falling Down a Coal Shaft
Curtis Pierce, a young man aged twenty-five years, was killed at College Springs about seven o'clock yesterday morning, by falling down a 107 foot shaft. His skull was fractured in the fall and one leg was broken at the ankle. He also suffered internal injuries and his face was badly bruised. Pierce was working for George Lowry, who was sinking a coal shaft two miles south of the Springs. He lived across the road from Lowry and had a family of a wife and a little boy. He had been working in the mine on Saturday but in the meantime the fatal choke-damp had accumulated in the shaft. When he went down in the bucket on Monday morning, at the time to go to work, he was overcome with gas when about halfway down and fell out of the basket. Those above immediately surmised the cause of the accident and set to work to pump the gas out of the shaft. It was five hours before the shaft became inhabitable again and the body could be rescued. It is said that one man who tied himself to the bucket and went down to rescue Pierce, immediately after he fell, was overcome himself before he was halfway down and was pulled up unconscious. It took nearly four hours to resuscitate him. The body was taken to College Springs this morning and will be buried from there today. Pierce was an honest, respected citizen and a loving young husband and father. The blow will be a terrible one for his family to bear.

[PIERCE, HOMER CURTIS]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, June 1, 1900
COLLEGE SPRINGS – Early last Monday morning a very sad accident occurred on the farm of George Lowry, south of town. For some time past Mr. Lowry has been putting down a coal shaft and employed Curt Pierce to do the digging. Mr. Pierce went to his work as usual on Monday morning but for some reason did not pump any fresh air into the shaft before starting down in the bucket. It seems that Mr. Pierce and Irving Lowry who tended the windlass, suspected that the air might not be just right, and Irving watched closely as the bucket descended for a signal to hoist. Mr. Pierce gave an occasion cry of "All right" as he went down till when within 50 feet of the bottom, he suddenly fell without making any outcry. George Lowry insisted on going to Pierce's rescue but was prevented by Irving and Mrs. Lowry until he was tied firmly with a rope to the cable. After descending about 50 feet, Mr. Lowery's cry of "All right" ceased and he was drawn up in an unconscious condition and remained so for the greater part of the day. The alarm was given, willing hands quickly gathered, the air pump was worked vigorously, and the mangled remains of Mr. Pierce were removed from the shaft. Our doctors did all that human skill could do but Mr. Pierce was dead. He leaves a wife and three children in poor circumstances. The funeral took place from the home of his brother, George Pierce in this city, Tuesday forenoon.

The College Springs Fatality
COLLEGE SPRINGS, Ia., May 31. – Our community was shocked and saddened by the terrible and fatal accident which occurred at Mr. George Lowry's home and which was described at length in Tuesday's issue of this paper and at which time Mr. Curtis Pierce lost his life and Mr. Lowry almost lost his own in trying to rescue the body of Mr. Pierce after it had fallen from the bucket as he was being lowered into the shaft which is being sunk in search of coal. The funeral services were held from the home of his brother, Mr. George Pierce, of this place, on Tuesday morning. The scripture lesson was by Rev. Willis of the Wesleyan Methodist church and the sermon was by Rev. Shenton of the Methodist church. A large crowd assembled, among whom were many friends and relatives from a distance. No blame is attached to any one as the accident was wholly unavoidable, he being overcome with damps or foul air and in falling to the bottom of the shaft his skull was fractured and he died immediately. We have not learned whether Mr. Lowry will give up the quest for coal or not, but we trust he will go on, as many believe the rock they were working in overlies a vein of coal which, if such is the case, and it was in paying quantities, would be of vast interest to the community and to Mr. Lowry. At last reports Mr. Lowry had almost recovered from the effects of the trip down the shaft and will soon be around again.

COIN, July 5, 1900. – A terrible occurrence saddened the hearts of all who heard of it and turned the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Powers from one of joy to deepest grief. Wednesday morning their two little boys, aged two and one-half and four years, went into the water closet and finding a match they set fire to some paper. Soon, Floyde, the elder, came running to the house and told his mamma that "little brother is burning up." Mrs. Powers reached the place in time to see Paul just coming from the back of the building, where he had dug his way from the vault, being driven by the flames near the door to that way of escape. He was so terribly burned that after a few hours of intense suffering the little life ended. Friends are telling Mr. and Mrs. Powers their sympathy, but human words and help go only a little way in comforting in such severe grief. The little boys have been especially noticed for their bright, happy dispositions and that such a dreadful death should come to one of them enlists all who knew them as mourners. The elder child was burned considerably about the face and hands. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church Thursday p. m. in charge of the pastor and the burial took place at Snow Hill cemetery.

Little Paul, with his 5 year old brother, Floyd, were in an outhouse, and by accident discovered two matches, which were lighted and touched to a pile of paper, which quickly burned, and catching into Paul's little dress burned him so badly that death was a welcome visitor to those who witnessed his terrible suffering. Mr. and Mrs. Powers are very highly esteemed in the community and have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends in their great sorrow.

BETHESDA – Died – Johanna Sophia Setterberg was born in Vestergotland, Sweden, Oct. 15, 1843. In 1868 she came to Altona, Ill., which she made her home for three years. In 1871 she was married to August Setterberg. That same year they moved to Bethesda and settled on the place which has been their home ever since. She was a member of the Swedish Lutheran church. She became a member in 1871 and was an earnest worker. About three years ago she contracted a cough which could not be checked, though all that medical aid could do was done. Her heath began to gradually fail and during the last few months she continued to sink rapidly. All that loving hands and tender care could do was done, but it was all in vain. Death claimed her and at 11 o'clock on the forenoon of Sept. 11, she passed away. Short services were held at the home, after which the assembled friends went to the Swedish Lutheran church where the last sad rites were held. The church was well filled with sympathizing friends. Miss Esther Swanson played the funeral march and the choir furnished appropriate music. There was also one song by a quartette. Rev. B. Modin preached the funeral sermon, both in the American and the Swedish language. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. After the services those present took a final look at the remains, after which they followed the same to the last resting place in the cemetery. The last sad rites were read, the choir sang "Sweet By and By," and left her in her quiet resting place to await the glory of the resurrection morn. Mrs. Setterberg leaves a sorrowing husband, three sons and one daughter, to whom we extend our heartfelt sympathy, trusting that when their mission on earth is ended the broken circle may be reunited in the home immortal.

Mrs. O. P. Stewart – Mrs. Nellie Stewart, wife of O. [tis] P. Stewart, died Saturday forenoon, Aug. 11, 1900, at her home on Grant street in this city. Death resulted from a carbuncle on the face. She was in a critical condition for about two weeks, during which she suffered greatly from her illness, which was serious from its outset and soon became of a nature that caused alarm to those about her, although hopes of her recovery were indulged in as physician and friends rendered every service possible to benefit her. The death of Mrs. Stewart caused great sorrow among those acquainted with herself and family. She was a bright, active lady, only 30 years of age last March, a wife of a few years and the mother of two little daughters, the comfort and joy of a happy home, and whose death is an irreparable loss to husband and children. The surviving members of the family and all the mourning relatives have the sincere sympathy of the public in their affliction. The maiden name of the late Mrs. Stewart was Barnhill. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. [illiam] T. [homas] Barnhill of Blanchard. Her birth took place March 5, 1870, in Jones county, Ia. In her childhood she moved with her family to Harlan, this state, where she lived fifteen years, then at Stewart, Neb., nearly three years. In November 1887, the family came to Page county, locating at Blanchard, where Feb. 22, 1893, she was married to O. P. Stewart. She and her husband then lived a little over one year near Braddyville and then located in Clarinda, where they have since resided. With the husband survive two children, Alfa, age 6, and Blanche, age 4 years; her parents at Blanchard; two sisters, Mrs. C. E. Wolf at Ottumwa and Mrs. Harvey Fullerton, near Blanchard, and a brother, Earl Barnhill, of Fontanelle. Funeral services were held Sunday at 4 p. m. at the home, conducted by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of which she died a member. In his remarks he referred to the deceased in terms of the highest respect as a Christian woman, wife and mother, paying deserved tribute to the departed lady. Appropriate hymns were sung by a choir composed of Misses Delia Osborn and Letitia Green, and Messrs. John and Ora Keener. The closing service was by Daisy camp No. 444 of the Royal Neighbors to which order the deceased belonged. In the Royal Neighbor service those who took part were Mrs. A. Akin, oracle; Mrs. J. W. Barchus, vice oracle; Mrs. C. A. Heaton, marshal, and Mrs. C. N. Newlin, recorder. The pallbearers were ladies of the royal neighbors, as follows: Mesdames C. F. McPherrin, L. M. Griffith, C. W. Skinner, M. L. Beauchamp, H. C. Roberts, and J. W. Barchus. The funeral service lasted about one hour, after which the remains were placed in a hearse and started for the place of burial, Blanchard, followed by the relatives in carriages. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Of these the Royal Neighbors contributed largely, including a particularly fine piece, "Gates Ajar."

Delayed By Storm. Funeral Procession Interfered with by Rain—Burial Place Safely Reached.
The funeral procession with the remains of the late Mrs. O.[tis] P. Stewart, which left here at 5 o'clock Sunday evening for Blanchard, expecting to reach that place the same night, was delayed by the rain storm on the way, so that the cemetery was not reached until 11 o'clock Monday morning, at which time interment took place, instead of Sunday night as was contemplated.
The procession consisted of the hearse with the remains, and three carriages with relatives. Forsythe & Goudie were the undertakers. Samuel Forsythe of the firm and Leslie Long rode on the hearse, Mr. Long going as driver. In the carriages were the bereaved husband, Mr. Stewart and two little daughters, the father and mother of the deceased, Mr. and Mrs. W. [illiam] T. [homas] Barnhill, Mr. Stewart's stepfather, Eli Matthews, Mr. Stewart's brother, Ward, a sister, Mrs. Harvey Fullerton, and Earl Barnhill, a brother of Mrs. Stewart.
The funeral party had not proceeded far on its way until a heavy rain began to fall and after traveling about four miles a halt was made at the home of Henry McCune, from 6 until 8 o'clock, for protection from the storm. At 8 o'clock the storm had abated so that the procession again started and after a slow and toilsome journey through more or less rain reached College Springs late at night. Mr. Forsythe says that the lightning enabled them to pick their way along the road, one flash of the electric current showing the condition of the highway ahead, and by the time it was covered another flash displaying a still further portion, so that thus lighted, at times with the rain pouring down, a resting place for the night was finally reached. The party remained at the Cottage Home hotel until morning.
From about two miles north of College Springs, in that city, and beyond toward Blanchard, a good many trees were found blown down in the road and in numerous instances the funeral procession was obliged to drive out of the regular traveled roadway to its side, on account of the fallen trees. Mr. Forsythe says the report that trees had to be cut out of the way is untrue.
The cemetery one mile east of Blanchard was reached at 11 a. m. Monday, where the procession was met by friends, a minister and the pallbearers, the final burial serviced conducted, and the remains laid at rest.
Despite the delay and the severity of the storm passed through, fortunately no accident happened.
Considerable anxiety for the safety of the funeral party was expressed by the people of this city as the storm progressed, and when Monday morning came it was not relieved, as no word could be obtained from it.
Messrs. Forsythe and Long returned here about 8 o'clock Monday evening.

Con Sullivan Dead.
Typhoid Fever Carries Away a Pioneer Settler. A Familiar Figure Gone—Was a Soldier In the Union Army—Since the War Has Resided in Page County—Will Be Buried Tomorrow.
HEPBURN, Oct. 11 – Cornelius Sullivan, whom we reported last week as being ill with typhoid fever, but improving, took a sudden turn for the worse on Wednesday, and died at ten minutes past noon on Thursday, after having been sick three weeks to a day. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, and his body will be laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery, near the Cagley church. Deceased was born in Kerry county, Ireland, in 1847 and with his widowed mother and two brothers, came to this country when he was 9 years of age. The family settled near Boston, Mass., where he learned the trade of currier. When the great civil war broke out, he was only a 14 year old lad, but being extra large for his years he succeeded in enlisting in Co. H of the Fifty-sixth Massachusetts Volunteer infantry, served his full term of three years and re-enlisted in the same regiment, participated in all the numerous battles in which his regiment was engaged. He was a non commissioned officer during the entire term of his second enlistment, and received an honorable discharge on July 12, 1865. A year later, with his brother, P. D. Sullivan, now a resident of Des Moines, he came to Page county and located in Valley township, where he resided at the time of his death. In the meantime he was married to Miss Sylva Jane Peterson. The offspring of this marriage was two sons, John and Harry, now living, and two daughters, both of whom are dead. Harry, the younger of the two sons, was present at the time of his father's death. Deceased lost his wife some twenty years ago and he and his son Harry kept house for themselves until something more than two years ago, since which time Mrs. Kate Miller has made her home with them. Comrade Sullivan was a member of Warren Post, No. 11, G. A. R. During the early part of his illness he was out of his head most of the time, but later was perfectly conscious until just a short time before he died. The writer visited him on Monday and found him quite jovial, though weak of course. During his entire illness he was pleasant and patient, just as a true soldier should be. But now his warfare is ended. The battle of life for him is over. He has answered his last earthly roll call. His former comrades will grasp his hand no more. But he will be remembered as one who served his country faithfully in the time of her direst need. Another patriot has passed to his reward and there is one more grave to be strewn with flowers on each annual Decoration day.

Cook and Miss Carrie Loran came up from Clarinda and furnished sweetly beautiful and appropriate music. Warren Post, No. 11, G. A. R., was well represented and deposited the remains of their departed comrade in the grave in accordance with the beautiful and appropriate ceremony of their order. The following named gentlemen—members of Warren post—were pall bearers: Henry Loranz, Lewis Aiken, J. S. Smith, J. D. Marlin, Ben Piper and J. A. Dunlap. During the illness of our late comrade, C. J. Sullivan, the circumstances were such that but two or three of the members of Warren post could visit him. But two members of the post live nearer to the deceased than Clarinda. Very many in this vicinity—some of whom have been his neighbors for years, yet never came near Comrade Sullivan during his illness, severely censure the members of the post because it treated their sick comrade with apparent neglect. Concerning these criticisms we wish to say the obligation resting upon a member of the G. A. R. in such circumstances is no greater than that resting upon any one of the neighbors, especially if the neighbor is a professing Christian. My Christian friends, particularly those of you who were neighbors to our departed comrade for a number of years, but failed to darken the doors of his home while he was struggling vainly with the Death Angel, you cannot escape the consequences of your own neglect by trying to shift the load of responsibility to the members of the G. A. R. Please remember, also, that the members of the G. A. R. are men well along in years and should not be expected to go six or seven miles from home to care for a sick comrade while he has abundance of neighbors living near, who are younger and more vigorous and better able to take care of the sick. It is every man's duty and especially is it the duty of one who professes to be a follower of the meek and lowly Nazarene to act the part of the good Samaritan. When you are moved to severe criticism of others please remember that and it may result in profit to your soul.

Fatal Accident Near Shambaugh
People along the west line of the county had the horrors of a most distressing accident brought near them last Wednesday morning when Mrs. Jake Thompson, who lives but a few miles west of Siam, met almost instant death in the presence of her family. The facts so far as known are set forth in the following taken from the Clarinda Journal:
"A most distressing accident occurred Wednesday morning about 10 o'clock resulting in the death of Mrs. Jake Thompson, living on the Ike Mulkins farm east of Shambaugh. Mr. Thompson was sawing some wood in their yard, the home being located on a sidehill on the bank of east river. Mrs. Thompson was helping him, having the job that the wood sawers call "offbearing," that is taking the stick after it was sawed. Her small son was witness to the accident and relates that his mother started to go round in front of the saw, when she slipped and fell against it, while the saw was running, the result being that it cut her nearly in two at the abdomen and she died immediately. Mrs. Thompson was about 49 years of age, being daughter of L. R. Bales, whom many know as having been watchman so many times at the fair grounds. She is the mother of Mrs. Clarence Anderson of Clarinda. The funeral is Friday."

[TINNELL, JOSEPH MAC, JR.]

Joseph Tinnell – Joseph Tinnell was born October 30, 1840, in Allegheny county, W. Va., and died at the family home on Friday morning, March 9, 1923, age 82 years, 4 months and 8 days. He was the youngest of 12 children born to Joseph and Sarah Tinnell.
The first twenty years of his life was spent in the Virginias. At the outbreak of the Civil War he answered the call of his county and joined the 36th Virginia Cavalry and for three years saw many hardships, among them being three months in Libby prison. After the close of the war, he went to Ohio where in December 1866, he was united in marriage to Rebecca Jane Filbert. To this union twelve children were born, seven daughters and five sons, eight of whom have preceeded him in death. The deceased children are Joseph William, Sarah Elizabeth, Clyde E., Bertha L., Harry W. [esley], Mrs. Jessie Burnette, Mrs. Lela Moore and Mrs. Hazel Dilts [Diltz].
The remaining four children who were all present at the funeral are Samuel O. [tis] of Buffalo, N. Y., Mrs. Minnie Palmer of Stratton, Nebr., Mrs. Edna Laughlin of Burlington, Iowa and Perry G. [arfield] Tinnell of this vicinity who with the faithful wife and a sister in Virginia are left to mourn the loss of a loving husband, father and brother. He is also survived by 27 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
The first 15 years of their married life was spent in Ohio and Indiana, where he was engaged in working at the carpenter trade and farming, which he has followed all of his life. Believing that the opportunities to be much better in the west, he immigrated in the fall of 1881 with his family to Page County, Iowa, settling on the farm which is still the home, having lived on or near the place for forty-two years, where he has made a large circle of friends and neighbors who will miss his witty sayings and pleasant smile.
Few people at his age were blessed with ambition and strength to "keep going" as he had, for to him the life counting most was the busy life, and he has been heard frequently to remark that he never wished to rust out, but die in the harness. About a week ago he contracted a hard cold which resulted in pneumonia and death.
While living in Indiana he and his companion were charter members of a Congregational church in Cincinnati, but since coming to Page County they united with the Methodist church in Braddyville where they still have their membership.
With the passing of Father Tinnell, Braddyville has lost one of its oldest and most loyal citizens. To the last he was interested in everything for the betterment of the community and only gave up when his waning strength made it impossible to do more. He spent much time reading his Bible and was a good student of the Book.
Servant of God, well done!
   Your glorious warfare past
The battle fought, the victory won,
   And you are crowned at last.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the family home with Rev. Smith, pastor of the Methodist church at Braddyville and College Springs in charge. Interment was in the Burch Cemetery.

After vainly trying to resuscitate him, his clothes were put on the remains, and they were taken to his home. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the house, conducted by Rev. E. E.

Dr. W. C. Fisher, assisted by doctors E. T. Farrens, H. L. Cokenower and M. L. English, performed a surgical operation upon Mrs. Ezra Tuttle, Wednesday afternoon, for the removal of a fybrocistic tumor. An incision ten inches long was made in the abdomen, and it was then necessary to cut the tumor in two before they were able to remove it. Its weight was about 75 pounds. The patient seemed to be doing as well as could be expected yesterday but the terrible malady of two years growth had sapped the young woman's life blood away and she died this morning at 7 o'clock. Mrs. Tuttle was a young woman, being not quite 19 years of age. She was born in Kansas, June 26, 1881. She was married to E. J. Tuttle, Dec. 4, 1898. Her maiden name was Lottie Lytle. About the time of her marriage this death dealing tumor began to grow in her system and her husband, being a believer in Christian Science would not permit a surgical operation until about two weeks ago her mother, Mrs. S. M. Stanley of Buffalo, Wyo., arrived in this city and decided that an operation should be performed to save her life if possible.

An unusual and very delicate surgical operation was performed last Wednesday by Dr. W. C. Fisher, one of the finest young surgeons in the state, upon Mrs. Ezra Tuttle, the woman whose expenses here were paid by the county in order that she might have a large ovarian tumor removed by Dr. Fisher, the county physician. Our readers will remember that Mrs. Tuttle came here several months ago for the purpose of having the operation performed but she got an idea that faith praying under the Dowie system would remove the tumor and she has been diligently following the instructions of that faith for some time. The tumor kept growing, however, and within the last month increased five inches in circumference. It became a fearful burden and Mrs. Tuttle was slowly and certainly dying. Last Wednesday she suddenly made up her mind to have the tumor removed, so Dr. Fisher secured Drs. Farrens, Cokenower and English and Drs. Wells and Will Phillips to assist him and performed the operation with entire success. There was only a small chance that the patient could recover from the operation but from the way she rallied it was hoped that she would live. She got along exceedingly well until this morning, when she suddenly collapsed and died at seven o'clock. Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 o'clock conducted by Rev. Nixon.

Mrs. S. G. Tuttle called at The Journal office Monday and requested this paper to say it was a mistake about the family of her son, E. J. Tuttle, having been a continuous county charge. She says they only received help from the county last winter and at the time of the operation on and the death of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. E. J. Tuttle, in all to the amount of about $50. Mrs. Tuttle also says that her son did not oppose the operation but declined to take upon himself the responsibility for it, on the ground that it might prove fatal and he would not want to think of it, if it did, as having asked for it.
