Hagey, John -

Another murder ts record

Another murder is recorded in this section of country, but it happened over the state line in Missouri, just south of Braddyville, when John Hagey was shot by John Russel Saturday night about 8:40, and died from the effect of his wound Tuesday morning at 8:30. It will be remembered that last winter The Democrat contained a statement regarding trouble between these two men, Mr. Russell having paid undue attention to Mr. Hagey's wife, the two skipping out for Lincoln where they were caught and brought home. Legal proceedings were afterwards withdrawn on promise of the two parties to behave themselves. And they did until recently, when Mr. Hagey mistrusted intimacy springing up between them again. Saturday evening he lay in wait for them in an oats field near the Hagey home just over the state line, when sure enough they met, and soon after Hagey fired a shot at Russell without effect, who returned a shot which entered Hagey's abdomen causing a fatal wound. But Hagey took after him while retreating and the two grappled in a death struggle, Russell firing several shots without effect. The affair attracted attention to parties on the street who hastened to the scene, finding Russell underneath Hagey. But on their approach, and the wounded man becoming weak, Russell broke loose from the death grasp and the villain fled without being captured. Had he been caught they would have made short work of him. Mr. Hagey was taken care of, but his wound was fatal and he passed away as above stated, despite all medical aid. Mr. Hagey had resided in Braddyville for years following the blacksmith's trade, and was a well respected citizen. As a mark of his integrity he was serving his third term as constable and second term as town councilman, and was also a member of the school board. It is a sad affair and a once happy home with three young children is blighted, ruined. If the murderer is caught, as he probably will be, the law will meet out justice to him. But what about the wayward wife whose indiscrete and unwomanly actions laid the foundation for the murder? Is she to go free? Will sympathy reach out to the weaker sex and declare her innocent? This would seem to be defeating the law and justice. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 25, 1901

Hagglund, Raymond - RAYMOND HAGGLUND IS KILLED.
Pierce Township Young Man Victim of Runaway Team Near Essex.
A frightened team of horses, running away on the farm of John Shoberg, in Pierce township, northwest of Essex, caused the death of Raymond Hagglund, last Saturday forenoon. Just how Mr. Hagglunds' team became frightened and started to run does not appear to be definitely known. It is reported that he sustained a broken collar bone, three broken ribs, a crushed chest and a number of bruises and scratches on his face.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lenus Hagglund of Pierce township, and was nearly 20 years of age. He was a graduate of the Essex high school and was a student at the Iowa state agricultural college at Ames, and was home on his vacation. At the Clarinda Chautauqua assembly last year he was one of the tent leaders at the boys' farm camp. He was known as a splendid young man.
At the time of the fatal accident Raymond's father, three brothers, Bernard, Oliver and Wallace, and a brother-in-law. Morris Liljedahl, were away on a trip to Estes Park, Colo. The party were not located at the park until Monday, when they were informed of the death, so that they could return home. The funeral arrangements awaited information from the father.

RAYMOND HAGGLUND KILLED
Fell  from  Load  While Threshing, ~ West of Essex.
A distressing accident occurred Saturday, at the Shoberg farm, 3 miles west of Essex, where threshing has [been] going on. Raymond Hagglund, who was helping, was driving a rack loaded with grain, being on the load by himself, when, the horses ran away. The bundle pitcher was not with him at the time. It is supposed that the load hit a bump, pitching him forward on the horses. The first thing the others who were threshing saw was the team running. Young Hagglund was run over by the load and fatality injured. He raised up, after the load passed over him, but expired soon afterwards.
Efforts were immediately made to locate his father, Lenus Hagglund, and others of the family, who have been on a western trip. Besides using the telegraph, ads were placed in the papers.
Raymond Hagglund was one of our best Page County boys, an attendant at the Farm Camp, interested in our farmers institutes, and last year was an attendant in the S. A. T. C. at Ames. He was his father's right hand man, with a bright future before him.   Besides his parents, he leaves three brothers, also a married sister. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 21, 1919

Hakes, Henry Harrison -

Henry Hakes died Tuesday forenoon about 10 o'clock, at his home in East Clarinda, at the advanced age of 79 years, 7 months and 9 days. Several years ago he suffered a partial stroke of paralysis, which materially incapacitated the use of his limbs and interfered with his speech, but his mind remained clear. A few days ago he contracted a cold which with his other ailment and old age, caused his sudden demise. He was conscious and clear minded up to a few moments before falling into the sleep of death. Mr. Hakes was born in Onondaga county, N. Y., June 25, 1830. When he was four years old, the family removed to Delaware county, Ohio, where they followed farming. Nov. 27, 1852, he was married to Miss Anna Palmer, of Richland county, Ohio. In 1857 they removed to Page county, coming here by overland and possessing 85 cents in cash capital. He followed farming for years and finally owned 400 acres east of the city, which still belongs to the estate. A portion of his time was devoted to the plasterer's trade. They were the parents of five children—Mrs.. Alice Peterman, William, Edward,. Charles and Mrs. F. E. Fox. In 1895 his good wife died. For a number of years he has resided in this city. In 1900 he was married to Mrs. Clark, of Corning, Iowa; who with the children survive him. Politically Mr. Hakes was an independent, and during the famous "Tippecanoe" campaign in Ohio he took such an active part that he was nicknamed "Tip," and it remained with him through life. In early life he joined the Odd Fellow lodge and was an active member. His whole life was characterized by honorable and fair dealing with his fellow man, and all have a kind word to speak of him. His demise is deeply regretted. The funeral took place from the home at 1:30 this afternoon, conducted by W. O. Hutchings, and his remains laid to rest in the city cemetery.

Obituary of Henry H. Hakes. One of the pioneers of Page county, Henry Harrison Hakes, died as mentioned last week, on Tuesday, January 4th, 1910, aged 83 years. Mr. Hakes, during his lifetime was held in high esteem by his fellow citizens and took no small part in the history making of the county. The history of the county published in 1890 referred to Mr. Hakes as an old settler even then, speaking as follows of him and his family:
Mr. Hakes was born June 25th. 1830, in Onondago county, New York, and is the son of Nathan Hakes, a native of Albany, New York. Albert Hakes, father of Nathan Hakes, was a native of England and a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Nathan Hakes served in the war of 1812. The mother of Henry Hakes was Margaret Bush, who was born four miles from the city of Albany, New York, at a place named Greenbush. Her parents were of German origin.
Nathan Hakes and wife were the parents of ten children of whom Henry is the youngest..
When he was four years old the family removed to Delaware county, Ohio, where he grew up to manhood. His mother died when he was twelve years of age; his father died in Seneca county, Ohio, at the age of 72 years.
Henry was reared on a farm, and attended school but three months of his life; but by improving his odd moments at home he has acquired a fair education. At that time Delaware county was new and wild, and the pioneer boyhood led there doubtless encouraged him to face the hardships of pioneer days in Iowa.

He was married November 27 to Anna Palmer, a native of Richland county, Ohio, and a daughter of William P. Palmer, who was a native of England; her mother was Hanna Rose and she too was born in England. In 1857 Mr. Hakes started with horses and a wagon for Iowa. He was just a month to a day in making the journey, camping out in good old style.

When he landed in the new Westl he had but 85 cents to call his own. He settled on ten acres of the farm now owned by John Annan, where he built a box house. Five years later he  purchased  sixty  acres of James Reed, which    he improved and made his home for two years. He then sold this and bought an improved   farm containing thirty acres, which he    sold    after four years, and removed to his present place;  he first bought forty acres of wild land, upon which he built a box house which is now used as a chicken house. Here he has lived, and from time to time he has added to his land until today he owns 400 acres of as good land as Iowa affords. The place is well adapted to stockraising, in which he has been very successful.
His present residence was built in 1870 at a cost of $2,200. It stands upon a beautiful site, commanding a wide view of the surrounding country, and is of a pleasing style of modern architecture. The barn is well planned for stock and grain, and from end to end the Hakes farm shows thrift and good management, seldom seen in any part of Iowa.
Mr. and Mrs. Hakes have five children; Alice, wife of J. M. Petterman, William, who married Sadie McFarland; Edward; Charles, who married Jessie B. Gorman and Ida, wife of F. M. Fox.
Mr. Hakes, who did not enjoy the educational privileges he desired, has given his children liberal opportunities.
Politically he is independent. He cast his first vote for Solomon P. Chase, "Free Soiler" for Governor of Ohio he voted for Lincoln twice and for Grant in 1868. In 1876 he supported Peter Cooper for president. In local matters he has been quite active having served as township trustee for several years with credit to himself and his constituents.. He is a member of the I. O. O. F. Clarinda Lodge No. 109 and also of the Aacient Order of United Workmen.
In an early day, Mr. Hakes worked at the plasterers trade and became quite an expert. During the "Tippecanoe Campaign" he took such an active part he was nick named "Tip" and this name took the place of his real name, Henry, and followed him to Iowa. He is generally known as "Tip" throughout Page county. In his manner he is frank and cordial, and he has lived to be one of Page county's best citizens ever working for its best interests.
In addition to the above taken from the county history, it may be stated that the Mrs. Hakes referred to therein, the mother of the family of children, passed from this life in April, 1895. Mr. Hakes remarried in October, 1898 to Mrs. Susan E. Clark who survives him. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 13, 1910
