Ratekin, Arline Gwendolen - On Wednesday afternoon at Shenandoah occurred the funeral of little Arline Gwendolen, the five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ratekin. This is one of the saddest deaths recorded in the county for years, for little Arline was a remarkably beautiful and sweet child and was the darling of her parents and the favorite of neighbors. The little girl was healthy and happy and had spent Monday afternoon playing in the yard. "As evening approached," says the Sentinel-Post, "her mother, intending to go down town to meet the father as he came home from the seed house, called the little girl in and told her to change her shoe strings and go with her. Busy at this and elated at the thought of going to meet papa, she suddenly said, 'Mamma, this makes me dizzy' and then jumping down from the chair she ran and put her arms around her mamma's neck, and then pressing her hand to her side she said it hurt there. Immediately she was siezed with convulsions, one following another until death came a little before six o'clock." The doctors pronounced the symptoms to be those of strychnine poisoning, but no one can tell where the child could possibly have got any poison. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 8, 1907

LAlD TO REST
Benjamin   S.  Rawlings,  Resident of This Vicinity Since 1853, Interred Sunday in Oak Grove
In Benjamin Rawlings, who passed away Thursday, July 26, 1917, at his home northeast of Clarinda, Page county has lost one of her pioneers. Coming here, as he did, in such an early day, his experiences were similar to those of others of that time, which lately were most thoroughly reviewed in these columns.
Page County was a land of great beauty and promise, but, with poor equipment, the settlers experienced much hard labor in making her virgin soil produce crops such as have since been yielded. And these were not all of the troubles of the pioneers. Mr. Rawlins's was familiar with all of these experiences.
Benjamin S. Rawlings was born in Illinois, Aug. 28, 1842. His parents were Benjamin Scott and Christina Rawlings. His parents immigrated fiom Illinois to Clinton Co., Iowa and fiom Clinton to Page county in 1853. In Page county, they settled at Hawleyville.
The Rawlings family was a large one, there having originally been eleven children. Of these, six were boys and five, girls. Two of these had died, however, before the family came west.
The early experiences of Mr Rawlings were connected with the school at Hawleyville which was one similar to other schools of that time in the new country.
In 1861, Mr. Rawlings enlisted in the First Nebraska Infantry in the service of his country. For four and one half years he remained in the service, or until the close of the war. Two brothers, Robert and Wash, were also enlisted in the Union cause.
Mr. Rawlings was married in 1872 to Miss Mary E. Vancourt and they have been the parents of six children: one who died in infancy, Albert, who died in 1904, George, who is married and lives at Vanhorn, la., and Mrs. Bishop Edmonds, Wm. Rawlings and Roy Rawlings, all of this vicinity. All of those surviving were at his bedside during his last illness.
Mr. Rawlings has lived for years northeast of this city on the farm upon which he spent his last days. While interested in the work of tilling the soil, he did not forget the welfare of his family nor his friends and neighbors who at any time needed his sympathy and assistance.
The deceased has been in poor health for a long time, but for the past several months has steadily weakened until death came. The cause of his illness was chronic heart trouble.
Besides the children just named. Mr. Rawlings is survived by his wife and one brother, Wash Rawlings, who resides in Oregon, and a sister, Mrs. Emiline Goudie of this city
Funeral services ware held at the Oak Grove school house east of this city Sunday afternoon at three o'clock conducted by Rev. Douglas of New Market, and the remains laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining, which is the burial place of several of the deceased relatives. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 2, 1917
