FORMER HAWLEYVILLE RESIDENT DIED IN OKLA.

A letter received by Mrs. F. W. .Ammons has brought the sad news of the death of Mrs. George Dudley, at her home town in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Mrs. Dudley was playing the piano at the Presbyterian Church, on Easter Sunday, during the evening song service, when taken with a stroke of apoplexy, from which she failed to recover. Her husband still resides in Tishomingo, where he is engaged in the hardware business. Mrs. Dudley had many good friends in this vicinity, Mr. and Mrs. Dudley having lived in Hawleyville twenty years ago, running a general store there. Eighteen years ago they left for Oklahoma, where they have since resided. Mrs. Dudley has one daughter living in Tishomingo. A son of Mr. and Mrs. Dudley is also living. Before moving to Hawleyville, Mr. and Mrs. Dudley lived in St. Joseph, moving from there to sell a stock of goods, which Mr. Dudley had purchased in Hawleyville; but they liked the community so well they staid there for about eight years, making many very good friends who regret to learn of the good woman's death. CLARINDA HERALD, May 1, 1919

Mrs. G. W. Dudley. The tribute to the memory of Mrs. George W. Dudley, former Page county woman, who lived a number of years at Hawleyville, is taken from The Capital-Democrate, of Tishomingo, Okla. Many people in this vicinity will remember Mrs. Dudley and regret her death.
This is not an obituary, eulogy or chronicaled flower so accustomed to follow the loss of a woman prominent among the progressive movements of her community. It is a statement in brief of a life so well spent as to be of service long after its earthly termination.
Louise I. Dudley was a woman of the most decided views. She marked well her pathway and then deviated none from the course. Positive, resolute, conscientious, with the strongest convictions, rather break than bend or cringe to ideas inconsistant with the nobler and grander ideals of life.
Born neath the limpid blue of southtern skies that she loved and cherished ever, she was the last of that old school aristocracy and southern blue blood; she was a pioneer of the Tishomingo, of the beautiful Indian country, long before statehood, coming with her husband and family into the new country, she sat about at once to asserts the rights of those better social folk that build character into the fabric of a community. She was the leading factor in the organization, building and maintaining one of the best churches in this state, and had the distinction of being the builder of churches in more than one community. A woman of highest culture and refinement in every sense of the word, with one of the best minds we have ever known; brilliant, yet philosophic, quick to grasp yet analytical to a conclusion, original in conception, yet masterful in reconstructing the ideas of others. Beyond the peradventure of a doubt, her mind was a wonderful product of our great educational system.
Mrs. Dudley was always a leader and extremely progressive and constructive and never radical. She strove to keep her home town and its folk aloof from the sordid evils incident to every community. Busying her hands with the organization of religious and social institutions, and dispensing that rare hospitality of hers upon her friends and neighbors that fell as sunbeams into the lives of the young men and women who knew and loved her, and gave to that beautiful little city where she dwelt the taste and flavor of a real
home, the portals of which were opened wide with a welcome to the intermingling acquaintances, friends and neighbors that make the better things in life. Her home was one of the grandest homes in this world. This we say in all seriousness. Ask anyone who hate reveled in its spacious halls and partaken of its bounteous hospitality, and we abide by their answer.
To build a home and keep it unspotted and unsullied, to protect it by bulwarks of church and school and good old Presbyterian ideals, is to have kept a faith, to have run a race, and to have finished a course that are emblazened across her life as the rainbow of gracious smiles from a watchful and merciful Lord and Master, at the end of which is the pot of golden immortality. Her life was so full of service, devoting itself ever to many good things a little, and consecrating itself to one good thing a whole to which hers was especially adapted. Her master service was to keep the harps of Zion atuned to the voices of the Choir Invisible, refreshing tired and hungry souls who came into the house of the Lord for inspiration. A musician of marked talent, she gave her efforts first to this phase of the practical work of the church, toiling, striving, plodding, never tiring it seemed, to keep the little church filled with music as high class and as soul inspiring as any church anywhere affords. That little Presbyterian church at Tishomingo has been known far and wide from the days before statehood for its mastery in music.
On Easter Sunday in 1919, this "Mother in Israel" had arranged as was her custom, an Easter musicale. At the appointed hour she was at her accustomed place where she had given her best in life to her church, to her family and to her country. The program was under way; the little church that she had organized,.helped to build and in which she had so long toiled and worshipped, was bedecked with the wild flowers fresh from the banks of the beautiful Pennington. She was playing so beautifully over the keys so long—so long her solace, when of a sudden she leaned her head upon her arm unconscious, while yet the tired right hand, inspired by the good Angel that carries on the good so long after a soul like hers is gone, finished the measure, and then—no, not the end, but her great and pulsating soul sped from its post of duty and began its immortal and endless pilgrimage down that long, long trail a'winding that is amongst the zephers of Zion, that quiet home of the tired, the true and the elect.
This woman had seen the world through her tears, had touched with her tender fingers the brows of the sick, the dying and the suffering, always kept the cup at her gate filled with the coolest water for any poor, fevered, thirsty traveler. She lived a good life, simply like a good christian mother, and came to the end of a perfect day when an angel kissed her eyelids down in an earthly sleep, with her soul that we knew and loved, carried upon the evening breezes and atune with the Master Harpist into the balcony of the stars beyond the river.
This is the brief statement of a life whose influence will pulsate on and on with its benediction to those who follow in her footsteps.
A character, a woman, a Christian, a wife, a friend, a mother.
Mrs. Dudley leaves a husband, George W. Dudley, Tishomingo, Oklahoma, a daughter, Mrs. M. A. Looney, and three grand children, Georgia, Fannie Louise, Robert Marion, Oklahoma City, and a son by a former marriage, H. D. Workman, Tishomingo; a sister, Mrs. R. K. Townsend, Oklahoma City, and numerous relatives and friends. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, May 29, 1919

DUGAN, HAROLD - ANOTHER FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT IN COUNTY - Harold Dugan Killed at College Springs When Ford Turns Turtle -

Harold Dugan, the sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charley Dugan of near College Springs was killed Monday morning when the car he was driving overturned, pinning him underneath, with his head caught in the open door. The first report stated that his neck was broken but the undrtakers say that no bones were broken, and that his death was caused by concussion and strangulation. The only witness to the accident was a small girl. The car was passed once by a road gang who were working the road but they supposed that it was a wrecked car and that the occupants had walked on to town, but on returning that way one of the men noticed a pair of shoes under the car, and they lifted it up, finding the body of the boy.
Harold had taken his younger brothers and sisters to school at College Springs, and was driving the car, which happened to be his uncle, Ren Dugan's Ford, back to the Ren Dugan home and was intending to walk back to school, as he was just beginning his freshman year, as his school work had been retarded for various reasons.
The accident occurred just on the edge of College Springs, in a place where the road had been worked. The car was going north, but when found was headed south, and on its side. It is thought that something went wrong with the steering gear, and the spindle in the axel was broken.
The funeral is to be held some time Thursday, at the United Presbyterian church in College Springs, with Dr. W. C, Williamson of Clarinda in charge. Mr. Dugan, father of the boy, was at Douglas, Wyo., and he was notified by telegram at once. Word was received Wednesday morning that he would arrive that evening. The mother and father, three sisters and two brothers survive. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 9, 1920

Harold   Dugan,   of   Near College Springs Fatally Injured Monday Morning
The second fatal auto accident at College Springs in the past two weeks occurred Monday morning when a Ford touring car overturned and killed Harold Dugan, who was driving it.
Monday was the first day of school at College Springs and Harold had taken his brothers and sisters to the school early, using the car belonging to his uncle, J. Ren Dugan. He was going northward to the Ren Dugan farm, intending to return with that family to school the same morning. Witnesses to the tragedy state he was driving rather fast, and when passing the John Knox home in the north part of the Springs, the car seemed to become unmanageable, suddenly overturning, finally stopping, headed in the opposite direction, Harold being pinned underneath, the top of the car resting on the back of his head. Death was instantaneous.
There was no obstruction for the Car to hit, it simply being a case of a car becoming unmanageable.
Coroner R. E. Harmon was called, but the nature of the accident did not require an inquest, and the body was removed to the home.
Harold is the son, of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dugan and was a bright promising boy of seventeen. He had been taking care of his father's farm north of College Springs this summer. Mr. Dugan has been on a ranch near Douglas, Wyoming, and telegrams were sent immediately. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 9, 1920

In the death of Daniel Duncan in this city, Sunday morning at 5:10, Page county lost one of her earliest pioneers, a well known and highly respected citizen who for sixty-three continuous years had resided in Page county.
Daniel Duncan was born in Callaway county, Missouri, October 10, 1828, and continued a resident of that county until the year 1845, when he moved to Page county, Iowa, locating on a farm near Siam, where he resided for many years, leaving his home there only to retire from farm life and move to this city in 1893.   He was married in November, 1853, to Miss Margaret Dillon, who was the daughter of another of Page county's pioneers.   They became the parents at seven children,  six of whom survive, but the mother passed to her reward in 1868.  The children of this union were:  John T., deceased; Nancy E., of Gravity; Wilburn P., of the state of Washington; and his twin, William T., of Blanchard; George W., of Gravity; Charles H., of Tarkio, Mo.; and Ada E., the wife of J. E. Nichols, of near Clarinda.
In 1870 Mr. Duncan married Nancy M. Damewood, who survives him. To this union two children were born, Orie E., of Gravity, and Omar, of this city.
For two years a cancer had preyed upon Mr. Duncan's strength and for the last three months had confined him to his bed, and although he had suffered greatly, he was cheerful and uncomplaining and found great pleasure in the visits of old friends who came to see htm. He passed away very peacefully Sunday morning. He was a staunch Christian, having joined the Methodist church in early manhood, and during his life on the farm he had attended church faithfully, driving regularly to the services at the church three miles from the family home. He was a man of firm principles and sterling worth.
Funeral services were conducted at the residence on North 14th Street, at nine o'clock Monday morning and interment was made in the Shearer cemetery near Siam. All of the children with the exception of Wilburn were present at the funeral. The services were conducted by Rev. W. T. Smith, an old time pastor and friend of Mr. Duncan, who found entertainment many a night at the Duncan home in the early days of the county's history when Mr. Smith was riding the Methodist circuit.
Card of Thanks —To the many friends and neighbors whose kind services and sympathy were so acceptable to us during the sickness and last hours of our beloved husband and father, we wish to express our sincere gratitude.

He was conscious up to the very last, kissing his wife and babies goodbye, telling them, that while it was his desire to stay, yet he was reconciled to the divine will of God.

He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, two babies, father and mother, three sisters, one brother, two sisters and one brother having died in infancy, many other relatives, besides a host of friends for whoever he met he always made them his friends. As we linger for a. moment round the earthen mound that holds the sacred dead, and then turn our faces homeward, let our hearts repeat these words.
"Aloft, there is no breathless, trackless waste, but terraced heights and sheltering towers, with way side fountain elixir to the taste, and caravans loose—reigned beyond the stars, far up where bronzed climbers, with tireless haste, press through the gates of ever lasting dawn."

The funeral services were held at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Duncan southwest of Shambaugh on Wednesday at 1 p. m., conducted by Rev. Calhoun of College Springs and Rev. J. A.

Mr. Duncan united with the United Presbyterian church when but a boy and has lived a faithful devoted Christian life, expressing his faith and love for his Christ before departing this life. As a boy Mr. Duncan' was a loving, dutiful son, only wishing to do those things that were pleasing to his parents. His unselfish disposition was clearly expressed in that, that he did not wish to disturb an older patient in the adjoining room although he himself was suffering unto death. He was conscious up to the very last, kissing his wife and babies good by, telling them, that while it was his desire to stay, yet he was reconciled to the divine will of God. He said, "Jesus has prepared for me a better home and I am ready to go." Mr. Duncan's life work is done. The rich reward due to the true and faithful is his at last.

The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy.

"Aloft, there is no breathless, trackless waste,
But terraced heights and sheltering towers,
With way side fountain elixir to the taste,
And caravans loose-reigned beyond the stars
Far up where bronzed climbers, with
tireless haste, Press through the gates of ever lasting
dawn.

Jas. H. Dunlap died at his home on West Main  street, Saturday evening, Sept. 24, at 5:30   o'clock.   For a long time he had suffered from heart trouble but friends did not realize his early passing away until the last few weeks. Mr. Dunlap was born on a farm in Butler county, Pa., Oct. 11, 1837, making his age 73 years, 11 months and 13 days.   In 1852 the family removed to Fulton county, Ind.   In August, 1861, he enlisted in Co. D,. 29th Ind. Vol. Infantry, and served his country until April, 1863, when he was discharged on account of a wound in his right hand. He participated in the battle of Shiloh, siege of Corinth, the engagement at Stone River, where he was wounded, and various skirmishes.   He was promoted to the rank of sergeant. Returning to his Indiana home, he remained there until 1865, when he came to Clarinda.   Since that time he had been closely allied with  business interests here and ever an active    worker for Clarinda, holding several positions of trust.   In 1872 he was married to Miss Angeline Moore of California, Mo., and to them were born five children, Alfa, wife of Willard Yaple of Oklahoma; Robt. E., physician at Portland, Ore.; Wm C., farmer at   McCredie, Mo.; Daisy S., wife of E. C. Allison, at Glenwood, one dying in infancy. Seven years ago last January he was appointed postmaster and had since occupied that position.   He was a prominent member of Warren Post No. 11, G. A. R., also of the Masonic lodge,  and closely allied with the Presbyterian church.   A good man has gone and will be greatly missed.   The funeral took place Tuesday at 3 p. m. from the home, conducted by Rev. Cameron, and his remains laid to rest in the city cemetery. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 29, 1910

Although it has been well known to the most of the people of Clarinda and vicinity that Postmaster J. H. Dunlap has been a sick man for several months, it came as a surprise and a shock, last Saturday evening, when it was announced that he was dead. We are never quite prepared for such news and yet we are expecting at any time that death may enter the home of some of our citizens and claim a victim. Mr. Dunlap was so well known in the county and had so many warm friends that in this case it was more of a universal touch of sympathy and sorrow than is usual when it became known that he had passed to the great beyond. There are very few men in this community whose departure would cause as general regret and who would be as greatly missed.
Mr. Dunlap was born in Butler County, Penna., October 11, 1837, and his parents were Robert and Catherine Dunlap who lived on a farm and enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who knew them. The family moved to Fulton county, Indiana in 1852 and continued in the farming business until the death of the father. In August 1861, Mr. Dunlap enlisted in the Twenty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry and was with the regiment through all of its skirmishes and battles, including Shiloh, the siege of Corinth and the bloody fight at Stone River in which he was severely wounded in the hand and disabled from further service. Being honorably discharged from service, he returned to his home and continued farming until February, 1865 when he came to Clarinda and engaged first in the freighting business between Clarinda and St. Joseph, until some time in 1870 when he entered a hardware store as a clerk. In a few years he had accumulated enough to go into business for himself and the firm of Dunlap & Lyman was formed, and with various changes of partnership, he was connected with the business continuously until about three years ago when he sold out his interest to his nephew, Mr. S. E. Sperry, and retired from active business relations, giving his attention entirely to his duties as postmaster, to which position he had been appointed in 1902.
During all the years of his business career, Mr. Dunlap enjoyed the respect and confidence of his business' associates and was one of the potent factors in the upbuilding of the commercial interests of our town. He was frequently called upon to render service to the public in various capacities and was always found ready to respond to the call of duty. He was a man of unusual social qualitiees and this was one of the greatest sources of his popularity for all who came within the circle of his acquaintances could not help being drawn to him.
In 1872 he was married to one of his schoolmates in Indiana, but who had moved to Missouri, Miss Angeline Moore, and they were the parents of five children, one of whom died in infancy. The four living children are Mrs. Yaple, of Oklahoma, Dr. R. E. Dunlap, of Portland, Oregon, W. C. Dunlap, a farmer living in Missouri and Mrs. E. C. Allison, of Atlantic, Iowa. The children all being out of the old home, it leaves Mrs. Dunlap alone, but she has the comforting thought that her many years of life with the husband of her youth were such as to give her pleasant recollections of the past as to make life worth living with all of its sorrows and disappointments. The real heartfelt sympathy of all the community goes out to Mrs. Dunlap and her devoted children in this great sorrow.
The funeral services were held at the residence on west Main street, last Tuesday, and were conducted by Rev. Robert A. Cameron, pastor of the Presbyterian church of which Mr. Dunlap had been a long time and active member. A large concourse of friends, and the members of Warren Post No. 11, G. A. R. attended and followed the remains to the silent but beautiful city on the north side of town. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 29, 1910

B. W. Dysart Dies Suddenly.
B. W. Dysart, for many years a highly respected citizen of Springfield, Mo,, and formerly of Clarinda, la., passed away very suddenly Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at his home at 839 west Lynn St. Springfield, Mo.
The deceased had been in his usual good health up to the morning of his death. Upon arising Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock, he experienced a slight hemorrhage, caused by the bursting of a blood vessel. The trouble soon passed off and he experienced no further difficulty, enjoying his meals and the many friends and neighbors who, hearing of his affliction of the morning, had come to call on him. A few minutes before 4 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, while rising from his conch, a great stream of blood gushed out of his mouth and in a moment his spirit had peacefully departed. He died as he had always lived, full of joy and peace. His death came as a shock to his family and friends as well as to his many acquaintances.
He was one of the purest and most beautiful characters and of a most amiable disposition. Loved by all who knew him, he ever had a kind word and a hand always ready to help the needy. He was a faithful and useful member of the United Presbyterian church.
Together with four brothers, one of whom died on the battlefield, he served his country for two years in the civil war.

Record of Deceased
The Herald last week chronicled the death of Minnie, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Dysart, of Springfield, Mo.; formerly of this place. Since then we have received the particulars of the sad affair, from a letter written by a friend from the scene of the terrible accident, Salinas, Cal. Anna was married only last May 23, and moved with her husband, Rev. J. M. Gillespie,  to Castorville, Cal., where they were engaged in earnest Christian work. The details of the accident that caused her death, as written by the friend, are as follows:— "It is with heavy heart I write you the following—one of the saddest occurrences that has ever taken place among us.  Last Wednesday, Nov. 14, as our brother, Rev. J. M. Gillespie and wife of Castorville, were returning from a short drive to the river, for recreation and hunting purposes, a bolt dropped out of the clip attaching one side of the pole to the axle. This frightened the team, resulting in the overturning of the buggy.   The loaded gun was discharged, no one knows just how, the full contents of the barrel entering Mrs. Gillespie's back, about the middle, a little to the right of the spinal column, ranging upwards, carrying away the fifth dorsal vertebra, shattering two of the ribs, and lodging in the back of the lungs. One of Mr. Gillespie's thighs was powder burnt, but he escaped without further injury.    Neither   of them seems to have been hurt by the overturning of the buggy.   Mrs. Gillespie was at once carried to the nearest house, where fortunately the village doctor made his home, and every attention that medical skill and loving friends could give was freely and promptly bestowed.  Two consulting physicians were summoned from Salinas; but all were obliged to pronounce the case hopeless of recovery. The nature of the wound was such that paralysis of the body below it at once ensued, relieving her from suffering any acute pain.  She died the next morning at 10:35 o'clock.
