J. S. Maddux Dead. Some few weeks ago Mr. J. S. Maddux, of College Springs, started with his family for an overland trip to the west, in search of health. Mr. Maddux had not been enjoying good health for some time, and thought the western climate would be beneficial to him. They had only gotten as far as Kansas, when word was sent back that Mr. Maddux had died very suddenly. This word comes as a shock to the many friends of the deceased, who was so well known over the county. The remains will probably be brought to College Springs for interment.

Many At Soldier's Funeral

One of the largest attended funerals held in this vicinity, say those who attended it, was the funeral on Sunday afternoon at Nyman of the soldier Corporal Dan Mainquist. This young man died at Camp Forrest, Ga., Sept. 10th, the remains being brought home for burial. He was the son of Mrs. Augusta Mainquist, having been born and raised in Montgomery County, just north of the Page County line. A brother, George Mainquist, is now in the Balloon School at Omaha. The young soldier who passed away was a member of Co. C 211th Engineer Corps. At Camp Forrest he was taken with appendicitis, and died from the effects of this. Those attending the funeral counted 324 automobiles present at the funeral, the attendance being general for many miles around, showing the interest shown these days in the soldiers who have gone from us to serve their country in the military service.

Dan Mainquist, the first Montgomery county soldier of the present war to be brought home for burial, was laid to rest in the Nyman cemetery last Sunday afternoon following impressive services at the Nyman church. Short services at the home of his mother, Mrs. Augusta Mainquist, were held at her home in Grant township preceding the services at the church.
Attendance at the funeral was the largest in the history of the community, there being no less than 2000 people present to pay their respects to the memory of the young man who gave his life while serving his country.   There were 353 automobiles at the church by actual count, and numerous horse-drawn vehicles. The body of the dead soldier lay in state in the church, amid numerous floral offerings of a patriotic nature. A large American flag hung above the casket, and the Nyman service flag with thirty-five stars was also in evidence. Long before the hour for the service the large church was filled to everflowing, and hundreds of people, including the Elks from Red Oak, of which lodge the deceased was a member, were unable to gain admittance.
Three ministers took part in the services, Rev. N. A. Blomstrand of Nyman giving the Bible reading, the obituary sketch and the benediction. Funeral sermons were preached by Rev. Engdahl of Stanton, and Rev. C. E. Bengtson, of Stanton. Miss Signe Oakleaf sang a solo and there were several numbers by a quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. Glendon Fisher, Mrs. E. S. Morris and F. E. Crandall, representing the Elks fraternity.
The pallbearers were William, Arthur and Adolph Mainquist, Oscar, Victor, Eddie, Herbert and Roy Johnson, all cousins of the deceased. A firing squad from the Spanish-American war veterans of Red Oak fired the final salute.
Corporal Daniel Luther Andrew Mainquist died at Fort Oglethorpe hospital, Georgia, Sept. 10, at 1:15 a.m., after an operation for appendicitis, which was performed on Friday. His mother, Mrs. Augusta Mainquist, and brother, Elmer, were called to his bedside, but arrived there after he had passed away. They accompanied the remains here, funeral service being held at Camp Forrest, Ga., before the departure of the remains. The pallbearers there were Wm. C. Erickson, Walker F. Aim, Alge E. Aim, Emanuel Trybom, Raynold Swanson and J. L. Palmquist, all Montgomery county boys who are in the army there.
Daniel Mainquist was born in Grant township, Nov. 19, 1893, and grew to mainhood there, he and his brothers being associated with their mother in conducting their home farm. He entered the army July 31, 1918, and was sent to Camp Forrest along with twenty-three others from this county. He was a member of Company 8, 211 Engineers, and was promoted to corporal a short time before his death. While in the service he worked hard and was liked by the officrs and men. In this county, where he lived all his life, he is known as an industrious, upright young man, and his death has brought sorrow to many hearts.
Corporal Mainquist is survived by his mother, Mrs. Augusta Mainquist, three brothers, George of the Twentieth Balloon company, Fort Omaha, Elmer and Frank at home, and by two sisters, Sophia and Nettie. George was here for the funeral.

Lemuel Maley, a miner in the Shambaugh coal mine, was killed instantly last Thursday evening by the falling of a massive rock fully eighteen inches thick and fifteen or twenty feet square, which crushed his life out. It is said that he had been careless in proping up the rock roof after him for some time and was warned of the danger that afternoon by workmen near him, he heeded not their advice and kept on at work unconcerned about the danger. Assistance was secured and the rock removed which disclosed an awful condition of his whole person. He leaves a wife and two small children to mourn his death. It will be remembered that his father fell into the same coal shaft about two years ago and was killed. Such carelessness should be a warning to other miners.

KILLED IN THE COAL MINES.
Lem Maley Meets Sudden Death by Fall of Rock in Howard's Bank at Shambaugh.
Special from Shambaugh.
Lem Maley, miner, was instantly killed in the mines here yesterday. He had gone to his work as usual in the Geo. Howard mine. About 9:30 o'clock a large piece of rock 20 feet long, 8 feet wide and 18 inches thick fell from the roof of the mine pinning him down and crushing tbe life out of him,   He was working in a "room" with three - other men Wm.   and   "Skip"   Howard and "Paddy Moore" who barely escaped a similar fate.   Word was sent to the Clarinda mines for help and in a short time the rock was taken in pieces, off the dead miner and his body removed to his home in Shambaugh.   Experienced   coal miners claim that Maley came to such an untimely death through his neglect in failing to brace up the roof as he took out the coal.   They say that for a week he had been digging out the coal and putting in no braces or supports for   the   roof.   The men working with aim spoke to him of the danger, but he failed to heed the warning and in less than one-half hour there came the awful crash and his life went out.
He leaves a wife, a daughter of Mrs. S. M. Wallick, a small son aged three and one-half years, a mother and brother and many friends who mourn his sudden death.
The funeral was held at the Church of God Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Cox preaching the sermon.
It will be remembered that Maley's father met death in a mine near by about two years ago. He was short-sighted and accidentally walked into the open shaft during the night. His liftless body was found next morning. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 4, 1903

Arch Manley Suicides
Arch Manley of Siam commited suicide while enroute from St. Joseph to Loveland.
Mr. Manley was born and raised in Taylor County and was quite well known here. Family troubles and ill health are given as the cause of his rash act. He left the home of his parents last week and drove to Hopkins where he took the train for St. Joseph and purchased a ticket there for Loveland. Before the train had reached Denver one of the train crew calling a station went to awaken the man, thinking he was asleep, and found that he was dead, an empty strychnine bottle was found in his effects.
The body was removed and sent back to Clarinda arriving at 9:45 Monday night, and was taken charge of by J. M. B. Pruitt and taken to Siam, where the funeral services were held Tuesday. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 21, 1916

Resident Near Siam Took Strychnine, While on Train in Colorado.
On Monday evening it was a sorrowing father who met the remains of his son at the passenger station in Clarinda, transporting them to the home near Siam, there to lay his boy at rest in the old burial spot. Ordinarily the 9:40 train deadheads from Villisca without express or passengers, but in this case a special permit was had for the traincrew to bring the body when they came down for the night.
Arch Manley started   from home near Siam several days ago, riding horseback.  He went to Hopkins, then to Pickering, where he left his horse, taking the train for St. Joseph. This is known from the fact of the New Market   Savings   Bank  receiving a wire inquiry from St. Joe as to whether Mr. Manley would be good for forty dollars, which he was drawing a check for.   Cashier Tomlinson responded, yes, for twice the sum. Securing this cash it seems the young man bought a ticket for Loveland, Colorado, and boarded the train. Just before the train reached Denver he was found on the train dead, or died soon afterward. The train officials found no identification on him beyond the New Market Savings Bank check book and his name. They accordingly telegrphed to the bank, who phoned to his father, Jap Manley, living near Siam. Another telegram was sent to the train officials in Denver inquiring what was the cause of death, and who were his companions. Back came the answer— "strychnine; self destruction; no companions." Some years ago Arch Manley was separated from his wife, who has since died. He has a little girl, now twelve years of age, who lives with Mr. Manley's sister. Mental aberration, caused perhaps by brooding, is thought to be the cause of his leaving home and later of taking his own life, for the neighbors know of no real cause for his doing so, and believe his mind was not right at the time.

Archie E. Manley of near Siam committed suicide by taking strychnine while on a train on the way from St Joseph, Mo., to Denver, Colo.

The death angel has  again visited this community,   and claimed   as its victim Floy Mann, the oldest daughter of Samuel Mann, her death being entirely unexpected by the family to within a few hours of its occurence on the 29th of May, 1906, which event cast a shadow of regret and sorrow over the entire community  because she was held in such   high  esteem by   everyone who knew her, having been  raised in this community, and had she been permitted to live till her next birthday. Dec. 19, 1906, she would have been 14 years old. She possessed so many redeeming and enobling qualities in her short life that, it gave her a permanent place in  the affections of all who knew  her, being intelligent, refined industrious, modest unassuming, sympathetic and religious, having given her heart to God last fall while young and her heart was tender and the life free from evil habits, and became an active worker in the church, the Sunday school   and   Christian Endeavor, which doubtless entitles her to a place around God's  beloved in the courts of glory.
The funeral services were conducted by the writer in the Christian church on the following Thursday at 2 o'clock assisted by Rev. Brown of the M. E. church, in the presence of a very large audience of sympathising friends and relatives. A splendid display of flowers and excellent music tended to add comfort to the bereft.

FORMER RESIDENT DIED.
S. B. Mann, who left here in 1896, and before that was engineer at the old water works, passed away on May 9th, in his home in Port Orchard, Washington, at the age of more than 88 years. Mr. Mann will be remembered by many as engineer at the water works, in Foster's Park, before the city took to pumping by electricity. That was during the time when we had a reservoir in the park, which was deemed unhealthy in that location, at the same time water became scarce and the policy was adopted of having small wells in different parts of the city, since several small wells were found to give more water than one large one. When Mr. Mann left Clarinda he first moved to Kansas, then on to the State of Washington. He was a member of the G. A. R., making one more member of this honorable organization for us to remember this Memorial Day. He leaves a widow and three sons, one of the sons being V. S. Mann of Port Orchard, Wash. At time of death Mr. Mann was 88 years and 7 months of age. He was an especial friend of A. P.Skeed now the editor of the News, in Clearmont, Mo. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 24, 1917
