According to the New Market Herald A. M. McAlpin committed suicide at Kirksville, Mo., last week, but the cause is unknown. He recently went there from Ohio to learn osteopathy. His former home was in New Market. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 16, 1908

Word reached here on Monday of the death of A. M. McAlpin, at Kirksville, Mo. At first it was thought to be a rumor, but later it proved to be correct, as his relatives were notified by telephone. Just before going to press we learned a little more of the sad news, which revealed that Mr. Alpin's death was caused by suicide, instead of being the result of a railroad tragedy. He had been postmaster of the New Market office for eight years, and went from here to Ohio, where he had since been engaged in the grocery business. After disposing of his business there, he decided to take a course in the Still College of Osteopathy at Kirksville, Mo., and we understand had just reached that place, when he took his own life. We could not learn the full particulars of the event, and so far as his relatives here know he did not have any domestic troubles. He was a man of intelligence and just in the prime of life, and the news of his death is a shock to his friends and acquaintances of this locality. We hope to give a more detailed account next week. We understand the coroner's verdict was "Suicide, killed by shooting, "—New Market Herald. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 14, 1908

Charles R. McAlpin, living near Hawleyville, was accidentally killed last Saturday morning by falling from a load of hay.   The young man, who was 29 years of age and unmarried, was assisting in unloading some hay.  He had set the fork ready for hoisting and was just lowering the door over head when the boy who was tending the horse on the rope called and asked him if he were ready.   He answered no, but the boy understood him to say go, and started the horse. McAlpin was standing on the edge of the hay and the fork raising the hay threw him backward striking the ground with the back portion of his head and   shoulders.   He   lived about twenty-six hours after the accident occurred and although his body was completely paralzed from the shoulders   down,   he    was perfectly conscious     until    the    time of his    death.     The    young man was a nephew of Mr. L.

It was indeed a surprise to Mrs. McAnulty's friends here to learn of her death in Independence, Kans., caused from ptomaine poisoning, being sick only six days. Everything possible was done for recovery, but to the poison in her system was added an anaemic condition of the blood which made recovery impossible.
At Independence, Kans., for the year and a half past Mrs. McAnulty has been assisting her husband run the Cook's Hotel, rooming house on the European plan. Mr. McAnulty has been most of the time at the hotel, but part of the time on the road, conducting subscription campaigns for newspapers.

McArthur, J.M., Mrs

Obituary of Mrs. J. M. McArthur
(From a Walton paper) The life of Mrs. Rev. J. M. McArthur, which ended at Walton,Kansas on the first day of April, is evidently of more than local interest. Rev Dr Strong said that he would go hundreds of miles to hear such another expression of faith and peace as that which, on his visit to her in illness, fell from her lips. When a Chicago paper recently made premature announcement of her death, messages of appreciation and sympathy came to her family from California to New York. One wrote from Omaha that he had visited in many homes throughout the church but found no happier home than hers. Those of ripe Christian attainment, professional men, women into whose darkened lives she had brought a sunny gleam, and the little ones that she led to love God's Lamb, all testify to help received and show that in other dwellings tears of sorrow as freely flow as in her husband's home.
Stopping at Walton in January, intending but a brief visit on the way south, Mrs. McArthur was, from the third day after the family arrived, unable to go farther because of the fatigue of travel, and the extremely cold weather developed the manifestation of lung disease rapidly. Born in Waupaca, Wis., in 1862, becomiag a member of the United Presbyterian church when sixteen years old, united in marriage to Rev, J. M. McArthur on Dec. 1, 1881, briefly tells the story of some events in the life of one who was enabled and ennobled by the spirit of God.
Mrs. McArthur's chief characteristic was selflessness, the highest qualification for Christian service. Her motto seemed to be, "Help anybody who needs help," with no thought of glory in such deeds either for herself or any other worthy being. What some do when duty-driven, or in view of favors here or hereafter, she did spontaneously, as a heart-vent of love. This made her a magnet in any gathering and, whoever else was present, there was always a cluster of friends about her. Neither social position, financial standing nor creed acceptance bounded her interest or helpfulness. Unostentatious and a lover of home, she shrank from public performances, but when she participated in them, she always excelled. In young people's society work she was among the earliest as organizer and instructor of junior societies. Very loyal in all relations, she had quick instinctive discernment of insincerity and shams, and so the cold self-seeker or the malignant soon shrunk away. Never did she seem happier than when her table was surrounded by teachers or students or any others who were away from their home life.
She enjoyed precious ministries at her bedside by Rev. O. H, Strong, D. D., and Rev. J. D. Rankin, D. D., of Denver. About two weeks before her death she told her husband that while communing with God it had come to her with certainty that she should not recover, and with that assurance perfect trust and resignation had also been bestowed. In the last few weeks she often repeated the statement: "I believe that few if any have had so happy a married life as we have, even with all my times of illness, and yet now I want to depart and be with Christ."
All have the comforting after­thought that it was only after every effort to avert that loving care and medical skill could devise, that death came. The sanitarium, the best method by a German physician on the germicide theory, change of climate, with the unceasing love-care and the unswerving will power of her husband in seeking all best means of relief succeeded only in staying the inherited disease for a few years longer than with her sister just older and the one next younger than herself. Very touching were her words expressing her esteem of the sisters and brother of her husband—Mr. S. R. McArthur, Miss Nettie McArthur, and Mrs. Nellie Brush and her husband—whose tireless ministries brought her so much comfort, and none could more fully realize the wonderful manifestation of sympathy and helpfulness of Walton's people, of whom no more liberal, or religious, or intelligent community can be found.
A sister, Miss Margaret Burns, of Iowa, and a cousin, Mrs. Williams, of Chicago, were with Mrs. McArthur in her last moments. But a few weeks ago a little daughter preceded her mother in death, leaving the husband and children now twice bereft. With delightful religious realism she conversed with ber husband and the children about her departure; and then, surrounded with many whose lives had been entwined with hers, without a cloud shadowing her thoughts or hope, she entered on her promotion to glory. On yesterday afternoon Dr. C. H. Strong, of Sterling, officiated at the funeral with comforting thoughts ably presented from God's word. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 11, 1899

The sad news was received in this city last week of the death of Rev. J. McArthur's wife at Walton, Kas., where they went for her health. The Reverend and his children have the sincere sympathy of all in this community. She was a true and noble type of womanhood. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 13, 1899
