Lacock Sisters
A Sad Accident.
Last Tuesday evening, two young ladies, the Misses Lacock, aged nineteen and twenty-two years, with their younger brother, were driving from Villisca to their home near Nodaway, when they met with a very sad and fatal accident. The bridge across the Nodaway was covered with water, owing to the recent very heavy rains, and in driving across they came so near one end of the bridge that one side of the buggy went over, which of course, upset them and the result was, the two young ladies were drowned. The boy managed to crawl on top of the overturned buggy and hung on until rescued. The horse was drowned. The bodies of the young ladies were found later in the evening where they had drifted out into the field. The sad accident occurred right near to where the Sanburn disaster, resulting in the drowning of three of the family, occurred two or three years ago.

Lagerquist, Kate Pearl

Miss Kate Pearl Lagerquist
''Some weeks ago The Journal mentioned the death of Miss Pearl Lagerquist, who formerly lived in Clarinda and who was deputy county recorder of Page county at the time her father, John Lagerquist, was the recorder. Miss Lagerquist was a most highly esteemed lady and many friends here sincerely regret her demise. A copy of The Herald, published at Puyallup, Wash., Jan. 18, has reached The Journal office, containing the following particulars concerning her: "Kate Pearl Lagerquist, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lagerquist, died Friday, Jan. 11, 1918, at 6 o'clock a.m. at the home of her parents on Seventh street, S. E. The deceased was born Dec. 19, 1879, at Essex, Iowa. With her parents she moved to Clarinda, Iowa, and in 1911 to Puyallup. She is survived by her parents, two brothers and a sister. One brother, Warren, is in the service at Camp Lewis and the other, Walter E., is a professor in Northwestern university at Evanston, Ill. Her sister, Mabel is a stenographer in a Tacoma hospital. She possessed a strong Christian character and had been a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal church since she was 15 years old. She had not been confined to her bed only a short time. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the church and was largely attended by friends of the deceased and of her family. An abundance of flowers made into bouquets, wreaths and beautiful set pieces, banked on and about the casket expressed in a measure the sympathy of friends. The city council of which Mr. Lagerquist is a member, attended the funeral in a body. The pallbearers were soldiers from Camp Lewis, friends of the deceased's brother, Warren. The services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. N. M. Temple, and the body was placed in Woodlawn Abbey Mausoleum by Spurr & Dunlap."CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 7, 1918

Lain, Guy's FATHER
Guy H. Lain was called to Newton, Iowa, Tuesday, by a telegram stating that his father was not expected to live. We learn that the father passed away before Mr. Lain reached him and the funeral is held at Newton today. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 24, 1908

 

Lain, Robert E.
Robert E. Lain was born in this city June 2, 1909, and died February 8, 1911, aged 1 year, 8 months and 5 days. Last November he had an attack of lung fever although he was not very sick at the time. It seemed the little fellow had regained his lost vigor with but little evidence of his last sickness. He was about his play as bright and happy as ever until about the middle of January, when he began to show signs of weakness.
The usual trouble of children cutting teeth, accompanied by indigestion, placed him in a position where to build him up for his final struggle was an impossibility. After several weeks of patient suffering, the pure little spirit took its flight to Him who said "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
Our little boy is gone, but the fragrance of his brief life will be to us ever that which beckons us on where tears, sorrows and partings are unknown.
Not only the home feels this loss, but in our community where the little life so, twined itself into our hearts and homes. He was bright beyond his years. To know him was but to love him.
"And a little child shall lead them." May this sweet peace bind up the broken hearts, and keep our lives pure and unsullied, until we shall meet this little jewel who has gone to dwell with Jesus.
The funeral was held at the residence Friday afternoon at two-thirty, conducted by Rev. Stevenson. The floral tribute was profuse and beautiful, so in harmony with the sweet little life just closed. A ladies' quartet composed of Misses McCandlass, Chiles and Brown,and Mrs. Jas. Scroggs, furnished the music. Friends from a distance were, Mrs. R. C. Lain, Mrs. W. H. Ammons and Mr. Lynn Russell, of Newton, Iowa, and Mrs. F. G. Blake, of Colfax, Iowa. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 16, 1911

   Baby Boy Died.

Lamb, Chas - Another sad accident of being killed by the cars, comes from Shenandoah this time. A twelve year old boy named Chas. Lamb is supposed to have been steeling a ride from the Wabash depot over to the "Q" depot, Sunday, as has been the custom of heedless boys for a long time. When near the latter place he jumped from the rapidly moving train, having both arms broken so they had to be amputated, and a portion of his skull was badly crushed. He died soon after the operation. It is strange with all the warning by railroad men and the accidents reported by the newspapers that boys will persist in being so heedless and unnecessarily lose their lives or become cripples the balance of their days for such daring and reckless folly. It would be well for parents to more thoroughly impress such accidents upon the minds of their boys and thus give them a lasting impression of the danger of fooling around the moving cars. The state law is very severe against parties jumping on or off of moving trains and it might be well to make an example of some one. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 5, 1899

 

Lamb, Ross
DIED OF HEART FAILURE.
Marshal of Shenandoah. Drops Dead Saturday Night.
On Saturday night just after 10:30 Ross Lamb, the night policeman at Shenandoah, was found dead on his beat. The cause was pronounced to be heart failure. Dr. Putnam who attended him telephoned to Coroner Clark of Clarinda, but it was not thought necessary for the coroner to come over or to empanel a jury, as the cause of death was self evident.
The night marshal's death occurred at the new city hall and fire station, which is being used as such since damage to the old fire station by fire. It was his duty to pull a fire box there at 10:30. He had apparently performed that duty, and had sat down in the chair where death overtook him. No one was beside him at the time.
Ross Lamb was comparatively new as a night watchman having served only since his appointment after the recent eteetion, although, he has lived in Shenandoah, for some time. He was a quiet, unassuming man, well liked by all. He leaves, a wife and family. His age was about fifty, and a member of the I. O. O. F. and Modern Woodmen. The funeral held Wednesday, conducted by the two lodges of which he was a member. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 12, 1913

About two years ago he came to this city and opened the Clarinda Candy Kitchen, and had been very successful through his pleasant and accommodating manners. Mr. Landers was a soldier boy in the late war, serving with the boys in tbe Philippines until discharged. While there he contracted disease from which he never fully recovered. On returning home be went to Sbrieveport, La., where he was married March 13, 1901, his 24th birthday, to Miss Minnie Sloan. Two children were born to them, one aged about two years and tbe other nine months, both of whom with the wife survive him. The family are left now with the stock in the Candy Kitchen, which will probably be conducted by herself and her father. He also carried $2,000 insurance in the United Workman lodge, and was entitled to a soldier's pension which he had been working for some time but never secured. It should now be granted the widow, who is heart broken with grief and well worn out with watchful attention of her loved one in his last days on earth.

Mr. Landers was born at Villisca March 13,1877, and was at the time of his death twenty-nine years and twelve days old, He had suffered for several years from curvature of the spine, and it was probably this that finally caused his death. He served in the Spanish-American war, and up to that time was as straight and active a man as is generally seen, and had a life full of much promise before him. His sad death has been the subject of much sympathetic continent among his many friends in this city. He was a member of the Clarinda A. O. U. W. and was well liked by all.

Lane, Levi Hart - Levi Hart Lane, father of Edwin C. Lane, junior editor of the Clarinda Journal, died Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 28, 1909, at his home, 512 Clay street, Topeka, Kan. Information of his father's death came in a telegram to his son in Clarinda at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening. The son had no intimation that his father was not in his usual health, so the announcement of the death came as a very great shock to him. The son last week received by mail a Christmas greeting from his father, written in a firm, clear hand, which the son especially appreciated, as it indicated to him that the father was in good health. Death does have its mysteries. The late Mr. Lane was 79 years of age. He was a native of Lewis county, N. Y. When a boy he lived in Kendall county, Ill., and for nearly forty years was a resident of Kansas. Edwin C. Lane left here yesterday for Topeka to attend the funeral of his father.

Larson, Chris - Chris Larson Killed,
Last Wednesday morning the section men discovered the body of Chris Larson lying under the Krout trestle one mile west of New Market. Coroner Brown, of Lenox, was notified, and he gave permission for the body to be taken to the undertaking rooms at New Market to await an inquest. The coroner's jury reported,"The said Chris Larson came to his death by falling off a railroad bridge and striking a beam." This is the man who was sentenced for a year in the county jail here during the last term of court, for setting fire to a box car at Coin. He was a native of Denmark, and not wholly sane. He was serving his sentence at the county jail in Clarinda, and was permitted to work about the premises of the jail, and last Tuesday afternoon he asked that he might go up town and get some medicine. This permission was granted and when he did not come back as soon as was expected, a search was made for him. Sheriff McCord telephoned to all the adjoining towns to look out for him, and Wednesday morning received a message from New Market that he had been found as above. When found his shoes were removed from his feet, and it is supposed that he had taken them off so as to not slip on the icy ties of the bridge, as it was sleeting that night. The examination revealed that he had struck a beam about half way down, fracturing the hip and breaking a number of ribs.    The body will probably be sent to Des Moines. The tradegy occured just a few rods inside of the Taylor county line, which relived Page county of the obligation of caring for the remains. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 22, 1904

Chris Larson, a prisoner at the county jail, was found dead yesterday morning. He was sentenced at the February term of the district court to one year in jail for having set fire to a railroad car at Coin. Having been a weak minded individual he had been given the liberty to do work around the jail yard for exercise and always reported in time. Tuesday night however he failed to show up and messages being sent to adjoining towns, yesterday morning parties at New Market found his lifeless body under the railroad tressle near there. How he came to his death is unknown, as there were no marks of violence on his person. It appears as though he had removed his shoes and laid down for the night, as it is claimed he had led the life of a tramp. It is not thought he attempted to escape, but merely started off and kept going until late at night. The coroner of Taylor county took charge of the body as it was just over the line.
