Dr. Stotler of Shenandoah was summoned and upon examintion found his skull fractured, hip broken and internal injuries, from which he passed away at 4 o'clock Saturday morning.

The pall bearers were Rex Vickers, Samie Lawson, Horace Howard, Alva Bloom, Edwin Northwall and John Baxter. Interment in Rose Hill cemetery in Shenandoah. He has many friends to mourn his departure.

David Morgan Dead.

A great many of our readers are acquainted with David Morgan, who was one of the early settlers of Page county, making his home at Hawleyville, and all will be pained to learn of his sudden death. He was visiting with his daughter, Mrs. Ed Kelley, in New Market, and had not been complaining of illness but was heard to remark that he was not feeling as well as usual. Yesterday morning he got up as usual, but complained that he had trouble in getting his breath. While walking around the room, he suddenly reeled and fell to the floor, and was dead before the folks could get to him. It was certainly a very sudden and sad shock to the relatives and friends.
His wife died about two years ago, the parents being survived by four children, Mrs. Will Hiles in Nebraska, Mrs. Ed Kelley, of New Market, Miss Latitia, who with the only son, John, live on the farm, adjoining Hawleyville. Mr. Morgan was one of Page county's best citizens, and with his loss, the community suffers a serious loss.

G. and Elizabeth Morgan, natives of North Carolina and Tennessee respectively, Until sixteen years of age his time was spent in the subscription school and on the farm. The first journey he made on leaving home was to Kentucky. In the fall of 1854, the spirit of unrest being within him still, he pushed on to the western part of Iowa, and the following spring he entered a wagon shop in Hawleyville as apprentice; for two years he followed this line of work, and then went to work at the carpenter's trade, which he continued until the breaking out of the war, when he enlisted in Company K, Twenty-fifth Missouri Volunteer Infantry, December 1, 1861; the most noted battle in which he took part was Pittsburg Landing; he was with General Sherman on his important march to the sea, and was present at the battle of Jonesborough, but was not called into active service, being on the reserve force.

company in June, 1863, which position he regained until he was honorably discharged December 20, 1864. Although he was frequently in the thickest of the fight he was never wounded or taken prisoner.

A Good Citizen Dead. At his home just west of Savannah at 4 p. m., Tuesday, April 21, Joseph Morley, aged 65 years, 9 months and 19 days, passed to the great beyond.
Mr. Morley was born in Pennsylvania in 1837, and when about ten years old he went with his parents to Illinois, where he remained until 1871, when he moved his family to Iowa. He lived in the latter state until last fall, when he purchased the Phil Henderson place just west of town and moved there with his wife, whom he leaves with nine children to mourn his departure.
His life was so conducted during his short residence here that many became his fast friends, and as a neighbor his life was an ideal that is well worthy of any man. Not only was he an ideal neighbor but in his business relations he is highly spoken of by the people of Savannah and the neighborhood in which he lived.
Mr. Morley had made no profession of religion until recently when he called Rev. Bolen of the M. E church, South, and had signified his intention to cast his lot with that body of Christians. This he intended to do on Easter Sunday, but was taken ill on the day previous and unable to do so. He sent for Rev. Bolen on Tuesday of this week and was baptized at 10 o'clock that morning and passed peacefully away at four in the afternoon. He gave to Rev. Bolen very clear and satisfactory evidence of his saved relation to God

The cold hand of death entered the home of Mrs. Sarah Morris and took from her the precious little one for whom she has had a constant care for the past eight years which have constituted her little life. Bereft of a father—no, a profligate man—she knows nothing of the sweetness of a home, even as provied by the beasts and birds for their young. The mother has been left with the care of ten children while the sire is defying the law in his assumed relations in a life of ease. "As a father pittieth his children,"—no, even better than that, the mother has had pity for the little one, and the kind neighbors teacher and the classmates were have given consolation. The school teacher and the classmates have all been kind to her, thus aiding an overtaxed mother in supplying the spirit of love in the home.
Little Stella was sick only a little over a week, but the typhoid fever had gotten the start and the fever had possession of the body and there was no relief for her.
The funeral was held, Tuesday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. J. W. Watson, of the Baptist church of Villisca, and the remains were laid in the Clarinda cemetery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 23, 1911

Miss Mabel Morrison,   the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Morrison, was born near College Springs, October 29th, 1879, and died April 11th, 1907, at the home of Mr. George Davidson, about 12 miles east of College Springs, where she had gone for a few day's visit with friends.   She was only sick a few hours.   A physician was summoned, but was unable to save her life.   Everything was done that, willing hands and loving hearts could do, but the Maker had need of her and called her home.  The deceased was a young lady of bright intellect.   She had been a student for some years in Amity college, and had taught five years in Page county, meeting with success as a teacher.   Mabel was of a bright, cheerful disposition, and always saw the bright side of life, but was also retiring in her disposition,  and consequently did not make friends as fast as some others,  but when she won the friendship of any one she retained it. She loved her own home and was never better satisfied than when with the loved ones of her own home.
She was led to Christ early in life, and united with the U. P. church of College Springs on May 23d, 1891, and served her Master faithfully until promoted to the service above. She realized that she could not live, and expressed her assurance of her readiness to depart and be with Christ. She will be missed among a large circle of friends, but nowhere more than in the home.
The funeral services were held on Saturday, April 13, in the U. P. church at 2 p. m., conducted by the pastor, R. W. Nairn, assisted by Rev. Campbell. The pastor chose for his text the words of the Savior to his disciples, "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter."    The large auditorium of the church was crowded with friends, who gathered to show their sympathy for the family so suddenly and unexpectedly bereft, and to show the esteem in which the deceased was held.   About 40 of her pupils were present at the funeral.   The following young ladies, members of a social club to which Mabel belonged, acted as pall oearers:  Misses Blanche White, Marie McClymonds, Anna and Kate McDugal, Ethel McCullough and Belle Ransom.

The body was laid to rest in Maple Hill cemetery. "Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. They do rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 19, 1907

During Dr. Johnston's pastorate he was elected ruling elder and served in this capacity until the question of rotary eldership came up. As he firmly believed in this he resigned that another might fill his place but was reelected during the pastorate of Dr. Nairn.
Going about his active duties until the last, only a few in the community knew that he was a victim of that fatal malady, bright's disease. He had told his family a few days before that he couldn't stay with them long and was ready to answer the call when it came He had always hoped to die in active service and God granted his desire as on Sabbath day he assisted in the communion service, talked cheerfully in the afternoon with his family and was reading the United Presbyterian in the evening when he commenced breathing heavily and in less than an hour had passed quietly away to join the loved ones on the other shore.
In his home life he was a kind and loving father, a faithful and devoted husband and was loved by all who knew him. In his public life he commanded the respect and confidence of all. Genial in his disposition and kind in his treatment of all, he made fast friends and bound them to himself by his sterling integrity.
While traveling in the interest of Wallace's Farmer he became a member of the Gideon Band, an association formed among the traveling men whose special object is to place bibles in the rooms of every hotel in the country. He was always deeply interested in everything that pertained to the welfare of the Kingdom and willing to do whatever he could to help on with the work.

DORM MORSEMAN KILLED
Dorman Morseman Killed in Runaway on State Road Last Evening.

About five o'clock last night, while on his way home from Clarinda with a load of farm implements, Dorman Morseman, who since February 1st has lived upon the farm of his brother-in-law, Col. W. P. Hepburn, was thrown from his wagon and instantly killed. About thirty minutes before the accident, Mr. Morseman was in town just completing a load of purchases at tbe store of J. H. Dunlap, where it was noticed that one of the horses which he drove was especially fractious. It required all of Mr. Morseman's attention to keep the team quiet while Mr. Dunlap and Mr. Sperry loaded some fence wire in the wagon which already contained a corn planter. The accident occurred on the big hill between Harlan's and the Tom Johnston coal mine. The team started to run some distance this side of Harlan's where it is believed Mr. Morseman went to the rear of the wagon to adjust the load which had probably slid forward and was crowding him, for at this point parties saw the team running and Mr. Morseman climbing over tbe load from the rear and trying to get hold of the lines. When he passed Harlan's be had hold of the lines but was apparently unable to do anything with the frightened team, and when about half way down the big hill west of that place was thrown from the wagon and almost instantly killed.
The man was evidently thrown from the wagon and fell upon his head and shoulders, fracturing his skull. The body was taken to Tom Johnston's, where Dr. Parriott, the coroner, held an inquest over the remains at 9 o'clock. The finding of the coroner's jury was that "Mr. Morseman came to his death by being thrown or falling from a wagon while the team was running away." The jury did not attempt to determine the cause of the runaway. Arrangements for the funeral cannot be completed until word is receoved from tbe dead man's sister, Mrs. W. P. Hepburn, and his two brothers at  St. Louis   and his brother, Capt. W. W. Morseman, of Council Bluffs.   Mr. Morseman is survived by a wife and six children the two oldest of whom live in Texas.     CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 11, 1906

Samuel Mosholder   was born   at Mt. Pleasant, Westmorland Co., Pa., June 10, 1881 and died in the Samaritan Hospital at Sioux City, la., July 20, 1920.   He was the second child of a family of eight—four boys and four girls and his death makes the first break among the children, tho the mother passed away about five years ago.
The deceased lived on a farm near Listie, Somerset Co., Pa., until he was grown, then for a number of years was located in Detroit, Mich., in the employ of the Studebaker Co. Later he was transferred to Omaha and while there met Miss Iva G. Whitmore, to whom he was married in Clarinda, la., March 18, 1913.
After two years' residence in Omaha, Mr.. Mosholder was moved to Sioux City which place continued to be their home until March of this year, when he purchased an interest in the garage at Coin, and moved his family there. He could not be released from his former contract at the time but was to come a little later.
On Easter Sunday he became ill at a hotel in Sioux City but went out on his route as usual on Monday, but became too ill to get further than Winner, S. D. He was brot back to Sioux City later in the week and his wife was summoned.
It was a bad case of typhoid, with serious complications. All that the best physicians and nurses could do was done. Finally the disease was conquered. Then after weeks of hard fighting the complications began to clear away and complete recovery seemed near. Arrangements had been made to bring him home to Coin on the 24th.
Early Tuesday morning a relapse came and he died within an hour. Death resulted from a blood clot on the brain.—just fifteen weeks from the day he entered the hospital.
Two weeks before his death Mr. Mosholder asked for a minister, and after conversation and prayer was baptized,—expressing his determination to unite with the Methodist church in Coin as soon as he should be able upon his return.
The deceased is survived by his wife and two small sons, Nelson, aged 6 years and Bruce 4, and two daughters by a former marriage. Besides his immediate family he is mourned by his father, Nelson Mosholder, his brothers, William, Isaac and J. W., and his sisters, Mesdames Effie Wolford, Louise Wyand and Marie Barron, all of Somerset Co., Pa., and also another sister, Mrs. Minnie Whipperman of Dixon, Ill.

PIONEER CITIZEN CALLED
TO BETTER LAND.
Came to Page County in 1853. Mrs. Olive J. Moseley Dies in Clarinda.
To have lived more than ninety-one years, the greater part of these years in Page county, is a record rarely attained. Yet that is the record attained by Mrs. Olive J. Moseley who on Wednesday morning passed to the better land, at her residence in Clarinda, two blocks west of the postoffice building, where for several years this old lady has been living quietly, waiting for the end. For nearly a year past she has been quite feeble, her son A. J. Moseley, having come here to live, to be near his mother in her declining days. The day before she finally passed away, a niece, Mrs. Lottie Cloud from Bedford, also came to comfort and assist.
Olive J. Moseley was born in Washington county, Kentucky, April 22nd, 1825. She first came here in 1841, but after two years residence returned again to their Kentucky home. In 1853, after the death of her husband, she again came to Page county, settling in Hawleyville, which then gave promise of being the largest settlement in these parts. She lived there until 1862, when she moved to Bedford, living there four years, then to Kansas City for a number of years, until ten years ago, when she returned to Clarinda, and has spent her declining days here.
Two sons survive her, Sam M. Moseley, and A. J. Moseley, besides a number of nephews and nieces. A sister is also living, Mrs. Elizabeth Brent [Bent], who is two years younger, being nearly ninety years of age.
The funeral was held this Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence, being conducted by Rev. Robert C. Snodgrass, the Christian Minister, whose father was an old settleer and lifelong friend of the deceased. The remains were laid to rest in Clarinda cemtery.
Before leaving this world for the Better Land, Mrs. Moseley said to her son who was attending her in her last illness that she was ready to go, having made everything right with her Lord; and she left directions as to the disposition of her effects, which directions are being carried out.
Among other effects is a memorandum giving details as to early times in Page county which may form a fitting article for the Page County Historical society to keep always. We doubt if there is another person living who saw this country seventy-five years ago. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 21, 1916
