Guy, the little eleven year old son of Ab. Jackson, was killed by the street ears in Keokuk last week while intently watching the Street Fair parade. Ab lived here for years and the remains were brought to this city and buried Saturday by the side of its mother, who died a few years ago. The life of the child was short but eventful in the extreme, as besides undergoing all the ailments of childhood, raging fevers at times from diseases, while yet a small boy he ran a needle deep into his hand that caused long suffering; later on he fell into a tub of hot water which scalded his face and left unsightly scars, and still later on while in the height of childish play around a bonfire he stumbled into the fiery flames and barely escaped death with long suffering. The little fellow survived them all, only to have a street car end his earthly career. If thoughtful meditation ever came to him he must have wonderingly said, "what was I ever born for."

"Still on the lips of all we question, The finger of God's silence to Will the lost hands in ours be folded Will the shut eyelids ever rise? O, friend, no proof beyond the yearning,
This outstretch   of our   hearts we need;
God will not mock the hope He giveth
No love He   prompts   Shall vainly plead.
Then let us stretch   our hands in
And call our   loved ones o'er and
o'er; Someday   their arms   shall close
around us, And the dear   voices   speak once more." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 29, 1910

Her mother having died when she was a small girl, she was left to take the place of the mother, and the care of the younger children, a duty which she faithfully performed. She was united in marriage, Jan. 30, 1868, to Jacob J. James. The year following they moved to their farm near Braddyville, where they lived together as faithful companions until May 30, 1913, when the grim reaper of death called the husband home. She continued to make her home on the farm, thus having lived on the same farm forty-seven years. To this union nine children were born—five sons and four daughters. Three children died in infancy. Her oldest daughter, Jessie A. Hood, died Aug. 17, 1911, and now the loving wife and mother, having finished her earthly labors, at the age of 70 years 1 month and 8 days, answered her Master's call on the morning of Oct. 6, 1916. She passed away quietly and peacefully at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lydia Wright. Just at the time of the year when the autumn leaves are falling in all their beauty, so the mother in the ripened beauty of wifehood and motherhood, and a well spent life has passed on to that beautiful isle of somewhere to watch and wait for her loved ones left behind. She leaves three sons, I. E., J. O. and A. A. James, two daughters, Mrs. Lydia Wright, Mrs. Anna Farrens, nine grandchildren and one great-granddaughter, two brothers and three sisters, besides a number of near relatives, and a host of friends that will miss her. She with her husband united with the Baptist church shortly after their marriage, and was faithful to her God to the end, when she entered more fully into the larger life. She was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery near Braddyville, beside her companion and loved ones. Her loss will be deeply felt by all who knew her. Funeral services we're conducted at the Christian church by Rev. J. D. Corbitt of Cumberland, la., and Rev. A. R. Hunt. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 12, 1916

Editor O. I. Jamieson, of Wapello, died Saturday night, after a prolonged illness. Mr. Jamieson was one of the pioneer editors of Iowa and the father of Editor W. D. Jamieson, of Shenandoah. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 24, 1908  

Senator Jamieson's Father.
On Sunday morning of last week the news was flashed across the wire to me that my father had died during the night before. This was on the beautiful Easter morn when all the Christian people were celebrating the anniversary of the resurrection day of the One who got the most out of this life—because he gave and served the most. The thought is not without comfort that my father's resurrection morn was on the anniversary of this great resurrection day which all Christendom is coming to celebrate more and more as a day of Christian hope and joy and gladness.
There were never but three of us in the family, the father, mother and myself, and his going is the first break in the small family circle. The mother will remain at Columbus Junction for awhile at least, and will run the Gazette, the newspaper which they had there. I hope that after while she will conclude to come to Shenandoah and make her home near us, both because I think she would be happier here, and because I feel the need of her near us. My mother and I have always been the best friends and very intimate. Naturally, then, I like to see boys chummy with their mothers, and whenever I do see a boy this way, I feel that he is surrounded by a powerfully good influence. Most every boy has a good mother and I like to see him be a boy always to that mother and be with her all he can.

My father was 63 years old and the most of those years were very busy ones. I do not believe that I ever quite appreciated my father, but that is very apt to be the case with those with whom we are closely associated.

He always seemed to me to be a plain and simple, but a friendly and intellectual man, but at the time of his death, when I went back home, I realized more the firm hold he had on the community where he lived and the high esteem in which he was held.
I was intimately associated with my father for a number of years. I never knew him to tell an untruth, to take a dishonest penny, or to do a dishonorable thing even in the slightest degree; I never heard him profane the name of his God, I never saw him take a chew of tobacco, or a cigar. And I never saw him take a drink of whisky except just a little while before his death when the doctor prescribed it as a stimulant. He did not leave a great material estate but he did leave to me that which is infinitely better than great riches, a good and honorable name. And rich, indeed, is he who can leave to his son such an unpurchaseable inheritance. Solomon was right when he said in his Proverbs, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches."—W. D. Jamieson in the Shenandoah World. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 28, 1908

To join the bright angel band. There, she is ever waiting,
For the dear ones left on earth. Her cares and sorrows on earth are over,
And she is sweetly resting with Jesus,
While she waits to welcome us home. We could not wish her back,
For her happiness is complete. She has left this world of sorrow,
For a higher nobler home. Dear sister we will miss yeu,
But we hope in the sweet by and by, To meet you in that beautiful home or high. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 17, 1905

Mrs. Mamie Kilpatrick Jaquet
The Independence, Iowa, Conservative of Jan. 22, 1919, contained the obituary of a former Ciarinda girl, Mrs. Mamie Kilpatrick Jaquet, whose home in her girlhood days when she was Mamie Kilpatrick, was for a time on West Grant street in this city. The Independence Conservative above referred to says:
"Mamie Kilpatrick Jaquet died at the home of her mother, Mrs. Frank Allen in the fifth ward after an illness of about a week's duration of influenza and pneumonia. She was the daughter of Mrs. Frank Allen, of this city, her father having died at Clarinda when the deceased was but three and one-half years of age. Mrs. Jaquet was born in Shambaugh, Iowa, March 29, 1894, and came at the age of 16 years to this city with her mother and step-father. On August 11, 1916 she was married to Emil Jaquet, of France, in Spokane, Wash., after which they moved immediately to this city where they lived, being employed at the Hospital as a nurse for a few months. Some time ago she and her husband moved to Evanston, Wyo., where they were both employed in a hospital there. She came here for a visit on Jan. 9 and the following day
was stricken with the fatal illness.
She will be greatly mourned by a host of friends here, at Clarinda and Shenandoah and also at Evanston Wyo., where she had worked. To know was to love her, as she possessed with one of the most sunny dispositions, always a pleasant word to anyone with whom she came in contract. She is survived by her husband, mother, step-father, sister, Mrs. F. R. Bain of this city, a niece, a grandfather, and a grandmoth-
er. The funeral was held from the home of the mother on Monday afternoon, Jan. 20, Rev. S. L. Hammond officiating. The burial was made in Oak Grove cemetery. There were no relatives here from out of town." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 30, 1919
