The Journal has been furnished with the following for publication concerning the late Mrs. Katharine Hart Monroe, who died in Clarinda last Friday:
"Katharine Hart Monroe was born in Cherry Valley, Ohio, Dec. 23, 1833, and passed away April 23, 1920. She was the daughter of George and Martha Hart and moved with them to Illinois when she was about 13 years old, where she lived till she was married to Henderson Monroe March 5, 1857.
They lived in Peoria county, Ill., for about five years. In 1872 she with her husband came to Page county and resided on a farm about four miles northwest of College Springs for about eighteen years. In 1890 they went to Springdale, Ark., and while they enjoyed the mild climate of the South as old age came upon them they longed for the companionship of kin folks, so they returned to Page county in 1908, living in Clarinda for about a year, and moved to College Springs in April, 1909. The following December her husband was called to his Heavenly home. She then lived with her niece, Mrs. Jennie Davis, until last May, when owing to the failing health of Mrs. Davis they were forced to give up their home. Since that time she has lived with relatives, by whom she will be greatly missed. Being the last member of a large family of children, she leaves no relatives nearer than nieces and nephews, among whom are Ed L. Dryden of Clarinda, Iowa, and Mrs. Edith Tanner of Springview, Nebr., both of whom she took into her home and raised as her own children.
She was an earnest Christian, being a life long member of the United Presbyterian church, and at the time of her death was one of the oldest members of the College Springs church. She loved to go to church and never missed a service except on account of sickness. It was her delight to do something for some one and she never missed an opportunity to administer to the wants of others. Many is the garment she made by hand, and quilt she pieced to be given to the missionary society to be sent where it would do the most good. A short service was held at the home of Ed. L. Dryden, conducted by Dr. W. C. Williamson, in Clarinda, and the body was taken to College Springs where her funeral was held by Rev. N. J. Calhoun, Sabbath, April 25, 1920, and followed by a large concourse of friends her remains were laid away in her last resting place in the College Springs cemetery.

Montgomery, J.F., Mrs - Mrs J.F. Montgomery, one of Page county's pioneer settlers died at her home in Hepburn, Tuesday night at 11:05. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 2, 1904

Written in memory of our mother Mrs. J. F. Montgomery, who departed this life Nov. 29, 1904 at Hepburn, Iowa.   
Dearest mother it is with a deep and heartfelt snrrow we bid you a last farewell on this earth. For you have taken the road that no born traveler ever returned. You have reached the vale of Jordan. You have crossed the rolling tide, and our home is left, ah, so lonely since mother died.
The sad news came over the wires, "Mother   is dying" and while we hastened to her bedside, her spirit winged its flight to the great beyond.
Now the home seems so lonely and deserted and empty the old armchair. We miss you there, we miss you everywhere. Patient mother so unselfish, suffering, yet uncomplaining. Can we forget your warnings? Can we forget your prayers? You taught us early to love Jesus and serve God.
May we always try to follow the example of thy life.
But while we all miss her so sadly she rests in heaven above. Her sorrows have turned to rejoicing and sunshine, eternal above. There, she, with our brother and sister, awaits us
on that beautiful shore, where the father has prepared us a mansion where parting and death are no more. Written by her daughter,
Mrs. Mattie Shiflett,
Afton, Iowa.

ACCIDENT AT HAWLEYVILLE

Ross Mooberry   Killed   by Being Thrown From a Horse
Ross Mooberry, a young man aged seventeen years, was killed at Hawleyville on last Tuesday evening by being thrown from his horse. He lingered unconscious until nearly midnight on Wednesday night, when his spirit took its flight. The accident occurred in front of the town hall at Hawleyville, just before the political speaking began on Tuesday evening. The lad., with a companion named Vance, was riding down the street on his pony, when the animal scared at something and shied into a buggy that was passing. The boy was thrown off, striking his head on the hind wheels of the buggy, and then falling to the ground, striking on his head and shoulders. He was carried into a store and cared for on a cot. Dr. Elliott furnishing the best medical aid. But concussion of the brain had been caused by the fall, and the boy never regained consciousness for a moment after the fall. The buggy that was run into by his pony belonged to Truman Hunter, whose horse ran away and smashed the rig to smithereens, throwing Mr. Hunter fully a rod, it is said out of the buggy, but not injuring him. No one else was hurt in the accident.
Young Mooberry was a nephew of David Leighton, of Clarinda, and he and his entire family attended the lad in his suffering all day on Wednesday. The boy's parents live in southeastern Kansas, and he was making his home here with a cousin, Alvin Leighton, near Hawleyville. He was a good boy, and all who knew him have a kind word for him, He has been peculiarly unfortunate in accidents, before this one. He has had his arm broken twice, has been accidentally shot, has been partially paralyzed, and yet was a good worker and a good horseback rider. His body will be taken to his home in Kansas for interment. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 12, 1900

It is reported that a young lady about 19 years of age by the name of Miss Dora Moore, living in Missouri, south of Braddyville, committed suicide Friday morning last by taking strychnine. The cause for the deed appears to be unknown, but it is supposed to have been through some disappointment in love, as she received a letter that day from a young man named John Edwards, living not far distant, and did not appear natural after that.

The people of the north Page neighborhood in the northwestern part of Douglas township were shocked Sunday evening by the news that Edward E. Moore, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of that community, had been found dead in the hay mow of the barn at his farm home five miles northwest of Hepburn at six o'clock that evening. Mr. Moore was a man sixty-seven years of age and had been in very good health except for a slight tendency towards apoplexy. He had just eaten supper and had gone to the barn to look after some of the stock, and his son Charles, who with his family has made his home with the father and mother, also went to the barn for a similar purpose and found his father dead in the hay mow. The death is a very sad one, and is mourned by a large number of relatives in that community and in and about Villisca as well as by the community at large in which Mr. Moore was highly respected.
Mr. Moore had been a resident of the same neighborhood, living on the same farm for fully forty years, and he is survived by many relatives. In his own home he is survived by Mrs. Moore, and their only son, and also his wife and child, while in the neighborhood of Hepburn and Viilisca he is survived by three brothers and three sisters, John and Ross, of Villisca, Ben and Mrs. Monroe McCoy, of near Hepburn, Mrs. John Beavers, of Villisca, and Mrs. N.

The body of Emma Moore lay in Oates & Finley's furniture store from Thursday till Sunday morning, and hundreds of people looked upon the remains with sorrow and sympathetic feelings. The remains were taken home by the parents Mr. and Mrs. Pat Moore, near Shambaugh, Sunday and the funeral held at 3. It was a sad sight to see the aged and broken hearted parents keeping vigil over the body of their wayward girl all day Friday and Saturday, and gave rise to the question, did they properly guide the footsteps of their girl in childhood days. However, it should prove a lesson to all parents and cause them to guard and guide their children while small and can be controled. The foolish young murderer, Wm. Lucas, who was arrested the day of his foul deed, at Clearmont, Mo., and near home, must now pay the penalty of the crime with his life or end his days in the penitentiary solitude.

Word comes from Indianola of the death there on December 28th of Mrs. D. W. Moore, a former resident of Clarinda. Mr. and Mrs. Moore formerly lived here, and were most highly respected. The Clarinda friends of this excellent family will be grieved to learn of Mrs. Moore's death. The Indianola Record says of the deceased:
On Saturday evening, Dec. 28, 1907, Mrs. Nancy Moore, of Indianola, Iowa, was called to her reward. Her maiden name was Baird. She was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, on the 20th day of August, 1833.
In 1854 she came with her parents to Columbus City, Iowa. Two years later she was united in marriage to D. W. Moore. For over half a century they traveled the pathway of life together. They started the home with the family altar, and they kept the fire burning on that altar through all the years. They were much devoted to each other.
This union was blessed with eight children, five of whom are still living. They are Dora, Indianola; Miss M. L., Waterloo; John, Indianola, William, Bayard; and Harry, St. Paul, Minn.
This family came to Indianola in 1893, and has proved to be one of the best and most substantial families of our city. The children are all earnest Christians, and were much devoted to their mother. A kind providence made it possible for these children to be with her in her last sickness and at the time of her death. Her two sisters, Susan Baird and Mrs. T. M. McKenry of this city, were also at her bedside. A beautiful devotion was manifest on the part of all, and a calm trusting leaning upon Jesus. The death-chamber was not without the heavenly light.

At an early age she united with the church, and was a most devoted and consistent member of the United Presbyterian church of Indianola. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 14, 1908

He was married in 1866 to Mary Catharine Leonard of Hunington, Pa. In the fall of 1870 they moved to Iowa, residing about three miles east of College Springs where they lived until about nineteen years ago when the family took up their residence in Braddyville.   Mrs. Moore   preceded   her husband to the Better World on Sept. 21, 1914.
