Mother Vance passed away from this life last Friday morning at a little past one o'clock. She had been ill for several weeks, being so very low the last week that her death was expected at any time. Mrs. Vance, whose maiden name was Eliza Jane Chamberlain, was born in Springburrough [Springboro], Ohio, on August 14, 1818, and was married to John Vance at Dayton, Ohio, September 8, 1835. In the fall of 1865, Mr. and Mrs. Vance removed to Adams county, first living in Quincy and later in Corning. Mr. Vance died in 1888. To them were born nine children, four sons and five daughters, seven of whom survive their mother. They are: W. B. Vance, Lincoln, Nebraska; Mrs. Nettie V. Russell, Yankton, S. D.; C. R. Vance, Los Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. J. A. Jeffrey, Nevada, Iowa; J. H. Vance, Miss Cornelia Vance and Mrs. R. T. Scholz of Corning. Two brothers of Mrs. Vance survive her death, D. C. Chamberlain of Clarinda, Iowa and Thos. Chamberlain of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Mother Vance lived thirty-five years of her life in Adams county and was known by almost everyone. At an early age she was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church and until her death was a faithful consistent member. She was always ready and willing to do anything that was requested of her as her many years work as a Sunday school teacher testified. As a mother and as a friend she was loving, helpful and devoted.
The funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. T. J. Ream assisted by Rev. J. A. Lovejoy and Rev. M. V. Higbee and interment was made in the Walnut Grove cemetery.
Those present at the funeral from out of town were: D. C. Chamberlain, Clarinda; Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Vance and Miss Lilla Vance of Los Angeles, Cal.; Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Vance of Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs. Clara McElravy and W. L. Hulbert of  Prescott.

AMITY TOWNSHIP – Jacob Vandergriff died at his home three miles southwest of Shambaugh, at 10 p. m., Aug. 4, and was laid to rest in Shearer cemetery in Buchanan township, Aug. 6. Rev. Mr. Shears preached the funeral sermon at the church near there. The undertaking was under the care of E. G. McCutchan of Shambaugh. The pall bearers were Messrs. A. and W. Pinkerton, S. Beery, A. Bair, E. Black and W. Worrell. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Jacob Vandergriff was born in Tennessee, Sept. 24, 1826, and was married to Miss Annie Penny, July 20, 1847. One child was born of this union, Mrs. James McMillen, who lives near them. The family after coming to Iowa lived in Buchanan township for several years, then about two years ago moved to Amity township where they still reside. Mr. Vandergriff was of a pleasant disposition, sociable and friendly to all he came in contact with. He was honorable and upright in all his business and his good wife always kept a watchful eye to the comfort of others, and many a one has found a place of rest under their roof, characteristic of southern birth. He met with an accident several years ago which caused a permanent lameness, but he was cheerful and did not complain. The family have the sympathy of all the community in their sorrow, but they have full assurance that their departed one has found a haven of rest and dwells with his God in the world above, where he wears a crown of righteousness. He expressed himself as ready and willing to go and felt fully prepared when the end came. From the nature of the disease, he was rendered speechless for some time before his death.

A few days before his death he sent for Rev. C. H. John of the Methodist Episcopal church and in their talk he expressed himself as having an abiding faith in his Savior.

H. R. VanHorn died very suddenly, about 9:30 o'clock Wednesday evening, July 25, 1900, at his home, corner of Eleventh and Garfield streets, from heart trouble. Harry Reed VanHorn was born in Muscatine, this state, Feb. 4, 1863, and moved with his parents to Louisa county and from there to Decatur county while still quite young. About eleven years ago he located in this city and was married to Miss Mary Golf [Goff], Nov. 12, 1890. With the exception of a short time at Braddyville, they have made this city their home continually since their marriage. Mr. VanHorn selected the carpenter trade as his vocation in life and had worked at it for the past fifteen years or more. About ten weeks ago his health began to fail and he was informed by his physician that he had heart trouble and a few days ago he was compelled to suspend work and take a rest. He was cautioned by his physician to allow nothing to excite him and above all not to get angry as to do so would probably prove serious. However, on Wednesday evening he had some words with his next door neighbor and became very angry and excited and within an hour or so he died while seated in his chair in the door yard. Besides a wife Mr. VanHorn leaves four children, as follows: May, age 9; Harry, age 7: George, age 5, and Hazel, 10 months of age. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. [ames] H. [igbee] VanHorn, are still living and reside at Leon. He also has two brothers, Ira L. VanHorn at Omaha, and A. D. VanHorn at Council Bluffs, and a sister, Mrs. F. B. Creal of Decatur City, Ia. His mother and sister attended the funeral this morning. The deceased was a member of the Clarinda fire department. He carried no life insurance. The funeral services were held this morning about 9:30 at his home, conducted by Rev. W. B. Clemmer and the remains were interred in the Summit cemetery near Yorktown.

John Wachob dies at Home Early Today
John Clayton Wachob, 87, well-known fruit rancher of the upper valley, passed away early this morning at the home in the Palisade section where he had resided since coming to western Colorado 33 years ago. Mr. Wachob had been in failing health for the past two months or more, but critically ill only the last week. His passing brings sorrow to a wide circle of friends in his own community and over the valley.
Mr. Wachob was born June 12, 1854, near Jacksonville, Pa., and spent his childhood in that state. Later his parents moved to Aledo, Ill., and he spent his early manhood in and around Aledo and Monmouth, where he met and married Miss Elizabeth Bay Feb. 1, 1881, the ceremony taking place in the latter city. They made their home in Illinois for several years after their marriage, later moving to southwestern Iowa, where Mr. Wachob farmed near Blanchard and then took up residence in Tabor, where he was in the hardware and furniture business. They remained in Iowa until April of 1908, when they came to Colorado, settling on the place that has been their home since that time.
The deceased was very active in the Presbyterian church and was a member of the session of the Palisade church for a number of years. His life centered around his home, his church and his community, where he proved himself a fine friend and neighbor on many occasions.
In February of this year Mr. and Mrs. Wachob celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage, the occasion being marked by two observances, a family reunion held in Denver and a celebration arranged in their honor by their neighbors and church friends here.
Mr. Wachob was the last of his father's family to go and the first of his own family. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Wachob; one daughter, Mrs. C. E. Rush of Grand Junction, and two sons, F. [rank] A. [lonzo] Wachob, who is an attorney in Denver, and C. [harles] C. Wachob, also of Denver. There are five grandchildren, Mrs. W. W. Foster, Grand Junction, Jack, Helen and Virginia Wachob and Lou Ella Wachob, all of Denver; and one great grandchild, William Clayton Foster.
Funeral services will be held at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon from the Presbyterian church in Palisade, with Rev. J. H. Gramps officiating. Burial will be in the Grand Junction Municipal cemetery.
At the request of the deceased the casket will not be opened at the church services, but the remains will lie in state at Voorhees mortuary from 4 p. m. today until 4 p. m. Sunday.

Infant Drowns in 10 Gallon Jar
The little baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Warner, residing south of Yorktown, was drowned last Saturday morning. The little tot was just beginning to walk well and had cried to go with his father, where his father was going to hitch up his team. Almost at once he was called back to the house by the screams of his niece, who found the baby foremost in a ten gallon jar, which was not quite half full of water. The doctor was called but life was extinct. So great was the shock to the mother that the physician was called back in about an hour to attend Mrs. Warner.

Gail Godfrey Warner, wife of G. [eorge] A. Warner, died at their home in What Cheer, Iowa, last Tuesday morning at six o'clock from the effects of childbirth. The baby daughter was born two weeks before and is alive and doing well. The mother was thriving until the night before her death when she became very sick and passed away at the early hour mentioned, leaving her loving husband and relatives mourning bitterly and leaving the babe to never know the sweetness of a mother's love. The body was brought here last evening after funeral srvices at What Cheer and was interred in the Clarinda cemetery, today, with prayer services conducted by Rev. Lowry, at 10:30 o'clock. Deceased was one of four children born to Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Godfrey. She was born August 15, 1870 in Mercer county, Illinois and lived here until she went to What Cheer a few years ago. She was married there in the summer of 1897 to Mr. Warner. Their married life has been very happy and the baby's coming was to them a beginning of a still happier life until the untimely taking of the mother brought sadness into the home. Mrs. Warner was widely known here and was one of Clarinda's brightest and most amiable girls. Her death comes as a shock to all who knew her and the bereaved relatives have the deepest sympathy of the community. She was a member at What Cheer of the United Presbyterian church and of the P. E.

Enos Weed – There passed away in this city yesterday one of those good men who make the world better by their living, a gentleman whom but to know was to honor and esteem as a reliable, upright friend and neighbor, a consistent Christian—full of kindliness that cropped out in kindly ways—and who drew mankind to him in strong friendship. Enos Weed is referred to. He died April 12, 1900, at 10:45 a. m. at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. A. Quirk, of heart failure, after a long illness in which he suffered much. Mr. Weed was born at Rodman, Jefferson county, N. Y., Dec. 24, 1821, and died in the seventy-ninth year of his age. He removed with his father's family to La Porte county, Ind., in September 1837; was married to Martha Jane Wait, Oct. 9, 1845 and lived in La Porte county until 1893, when he removed to South Bend, Ind. In 1894 he came to Clarinda. Mr. Weed was a farmer by occupation. In his home county in Indiana he was honored by the Republicans with numerous public offices of importance, and at one time was county commissioner. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church from early life, and of the Masonic fraternity for over fifty years. He is survived by his widow and three children. The latter are Edward B. Weed, at La Porte, Ind.; Mrs. Nettie A. Quirk, Clarinda, and Mrs. Mariette A. Easton of near Coin, Page county. One son, Everett D. Weed, died in 1893, at Endora, Kan. The funeral will be held at the residence of Mr. Quirk, in the northern part of this city, Saturday the 14th inst., at 2 p. m., conducted by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz.

COIN – Oct. 14 – Mrs. Augusta Wheelan died Thursday, Oct. 9th at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lee Cowger where she had been living the last two years. About one year ago an infection started in her foot and to keep it from doing serious injury her leg was amputated just below the knee, but the poison had already entered her system and owing to her age being 74 years old she never gained her usual strength. After the operation she gradually grew weaker until her death. The body was taken from the Cowger home on Sunday afternoon after short services and taken to Northboro, her former home being nearer that place, at Wheelers Grove where she resided on a farm for many years and where her husband and a daughter were buried and where, after the funeral services were held in the Methodist Church at Northboro, the body was laid to rest. One daughter and four sons are left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother. All were present at the funeral excepting one son, whose home is in California.

MOTHER
She carried the burden before you;
She knew all the costs of the way,
She paid out the price in its full-
    ness
That motherhood only can pay.
She loved when the world was against you;
She hoped when your hopes sank
    and died;
She carried your cross when the
   burden
Left scars on her heart deep and
   wide.
She labored and loved and was
   happy;
For deep in her heart there she
   knew
Your kindness and love would re-
   pay her
For all she has done just for you.
