An Old Soldier Gone
HENRY CLABAUGH
As
the world goes, is no more. The last rites, always deemed sad, were performed
Tuesday. The funeral services were held at the Dunkard church, North Dallas,
and the interment was made at that cemetery. Rev. Goodwin delivered the sermon,
and the Methodist choir provided the music. The Grand Army Post of which he was
a member, went in a body from the residence, following the remains to the final
place of separation and yet not final for He said " I go to prepare a
place for you " and more and more every century makes it ever increasingly
certain that he did.
He
was a good man. Modestly went about his duties and patiently carried his
burdens.
He
was born June 1st, 1833, near Columbus, Ohio, and on October 29th, 1854 was
married to Elizabeth [Ann] Kile,
who survives him. To them were born nine sons and five daughters of whom seven
sons and two daughters are living and all were present at the funeral. Their
names are as follows: Dr. S. [ylvester] L.[ouis], Kamrar,
Iowa; W. [illiam] W., Decatur,
Illinois; A. [rza] E. [lbra], Oak, Nebraska; G. [eorge] E.,
Atkinson, Nebraska; A. [rthur] C. [larence], of this place; H. [ugh] L. [eslie], Coleridge, Nebraska; Frank, Arvada, Wyoming; Mrs. Ida J. [ane] Shepherd and Mrs. Alice [Permelia] Leonard, both of near Gravity.
There
are forty-six grand children and three great grand children.
The
family came to Clarinda in 1859 and in 1863 the deceased enlisted as a
volunteer in Co. A., of the 8th Iowa cavalry, under Captain G. W.
Burns, of Clarinda He served to the end of the war. He was not only a soldier
in the militant army but in that larger and better, made up partly from the former,
the army of the Galilean who smote only to purge or heal and who said " To
him that over cometh, a crown shall be given.” He overcame.
The
family came to Taylor County in 1882 and have lived here ever since. The writer
never witnesses the passing of an old soldier without thinking of the last
words of that famous Confederate, Gen. Stonewall Jackson: —" Let us
cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees. "—New
Market Herald

OBITUARY
Henry Clabaugh
Henry
Clabaugh, son of Nicholas
Clabaugh, died July 22, aged 78
years, 11 months, 22 days. He was born near Columbus, Ohio, June 1, 1833. He
came to Iowa in 1859 and settled near Clarinda, where he remained until shortly
after the outbreak of the war. Responding to the call of the Union he enlisted
in the Eighth Iowa cavalry in 1863 and served until the close of the war. After
being mustered out of the army he took up his abode in Illinois, but in 1871
returned to Iowa. In 1882 he moved to Taylor County and has been a resident of
this county for the remaining 29 years of his life.
He
was united in marriage with Elizabeth [Ann] Kile, Oct. 29, 1854, and to this union were born fourteen
children, nine sons and five daughters. Of these, seven sons and two daughters
survive him: Dr. S. [ylvester] L. [ouis] Clabaugh of Kamrar, Iowa; W. [illiam] W. Clabaugh of Decatur, Ill.; A. [rza] E. [lbra] Clabaugh, of Oak, Nebraska; George E. Clabaugh, of Atkinson, Neb., Arthur C.[larence]
Clabaugh of New Market; H. [ugh]
L. [eslie] Clabaugh of Coleridge,
Neb.; Frank Clabaugh of
Arvada, Wyo.; Mrs. Ida [Jane] Shepard and Mrs. Alice [Permelia] Leonard, both of Gravity.
In
early manhood, he forsook the path of self-guidance and gave his life into the
hands of the great captain of salvation. He united with the Methodist Episcopal
church at Dallas and remained a faithful member of that society until it was
merged into the society at New Market, about five or six years ago. Since that
time he has held his membership in the New Market church.
He
was a member of Upton Post, No. 248, of the G. A. R. and with his comrades on
Decoration Day paid his last tribute of love to the companions in blue who had
gone on before him. He was a citizen of sterling worth, winning the respect of
his fellows, and leaves to all the splendid legacy of a life well spent, of
duty done to country and God---his was the measure of a man.
The
funeral service was held at the Dallas church, Tuesday Aug. 25, in charge of
Rev. Levi P. Goodwin, of the New Market M. E. church and he was laid to rest in
Dallas cemetery.

Adams County Suicide.
Mrs.
Wm. [George] Fudge [Ida Alice
Cox] whose home was in Washington
township, Adams county, suicided last week by tying a rope around a piece of
timber, then around her neck and jumped into a well. The timber with the rope
was placed across the well with the purpose of causing death by hanging, but
the depth to the water had been miscalculated, and Mrs. Fudge was drowned.
Mrs.
Fudge was about thirty years of
age and was subject to spells of mental aberration. She leaves a husband and
several small children.

Committed Suicide
Mrs. Fudge, Near Mt. Etna, Jumps Into a Well
Mrs.
William [George] Fudge [Ida Alice Cox],
living about two and a half miles north of Mt. Etna, committed suicide last
Monday at 11 o’clock a. m. by typing a rope around her neck, securing the loose
end to a plank lying across the top of a well and jumping to the bottom. We
glean the following particulars from a neighbor of the unfortunate woman.
Mr.
Fudge was husking corn in a field
near the house. Some time between 10 and 11 o’clock he saw his wife in the
yard, and thinking perhaps she wanted him for something, he hallooed and
inquired if she called to him. She responded “no.” He then continued his work.
A short time afterward, when he came to the house, he found the baby on the cot
with its wraps near by, as though she had contemplated taking it with her, and
on a table was a note written by his wife, stating he would find her in the
pasture well, and asking forgiveness for the deed. He immediately ran to the
place indicated and to his horror found his wife suspended from the rope. The
cord was long and the body was submerged in water. Assistance was at once
secured and Mrs. Fudge’s body was raised to the ground but life was extinct, as
strangulation by both rope and water had ensued immediately after the fatal
leap. Justice Walker acted in lieu of the coroner and held an inquest, the jury
returning a verdict as follows:
We,
the jury find that Mrs. Ida Fudge came to her death by drowning and strangulation by her own hands. Jacob
Bisor, Wm. Rogers, Pat Clinton, Jurors
Deceased
was about thirty years old and seems to have been possessed with a
determination to end her existence by suicide. About two years ago she ate the
sulfur end of a quantity of matches and narrowly escaped death. Not long ago
she consulted with Dr. Coakley regarding her impulses to commit suicide and
that gentleman cautioned her people not to leave her alone for a moment, as
there was no telling what she might do. We understand her connubial relations
were pleasant and no reason for the rash act can be advanced. The family has
lived in that neighborhood about seven years. A husband and three small children
survive the deceased.

Obituary.
Thomas
Sherman Hickenlooper, son of Simon
B. and Anna [Eliza King] Hickenlooper,
was born in the vicinity of the old town of Platteville, Iowa, August 10th,
1866, and departed from the earthly life to the heavenly from his home in
Blockton, Iowa, July 29th, 1911, aged 44 years, 11 months and 19 days. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev. O. J. Shenton, at the M. E. church in
Blockton, at 2 p. m., Monday. The K. of P. lodge took part in the services at
the grave.
The
greater part of his life was spent in the vicinity of Blockton, he at one time
having engaged in the barber trade and in the lumberyard.
Before
this in his early manhood he attended the educational institutions at
Shenandoah and Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
He
was united in the bonds of matrimony to Clara R. Chipman, on December 16, 1888. This was a sacred union in
his eyes and its bond was ever preserved with the highest degree of faithfulness.
In
company with his companion the Still Course of Osteopathy was taken in Des
Moines in the years of 1901-1903. After the regular work was finished he took
some postgraduate study in the same institution.
Finally
in the strength of his manhood a disease chose him for its victim. The nature
of the malady was such that its coming was equal to a sentence of death but
this was met bravely and a strong fight was made against its ravages but it
proved too much for his strength and God took him beyond its power. A sister
had preceded him to the other side, Rosalie D. Hickenlooper who died in infancy. Besides his beloved wife and
his parents there remains to await the summons, his brothers, Nathan O. [scar]
Hickenlooper of Blockton; Ernest
T.[heo] Hickenlooper of Des
Moines; George C. [entenial] Hickenlooper of Blockton; Carl B. [laine] Hickenlooper of New Virginia, Iowa; and his sisters, Mrs.
Mary Isiphine King of Alva,
Oklahoma; Mrs. Flora K. Ewart of
Blockton; and Mrs. Maud B. [lanche] Cheney, of Iowa City, Iowa.
After
a change of heart he united with the Methodist Episcopal church in 1893 and has
been faithful to his vows and his assurance of immortality has ever been clear.
Another of God's saints has been redeemed by the power of the life of the Risen
Lord and has entered into life more abundantly.

George Woodard Dead
George
Woodard was born in Coral,
McHenry County, Ill., August 7, 1857, and died at the home of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Mark Woodard [Laura Jane Munger], in Bedford, Tuesday morning at 6:15, December 31, 1907, from a
complication of diseases.
In
1870, in company with his parents, he moved to Taylor County, and this has
since been his home. For several years he has been employed by F. B. Webb at
the coal and wood yard. He has always been an industrious and hard working
young man and one with many friends. On July 4 he was taken ill with what
resembled cancer of the stomach. He had always been such a strong and robust
man that nothing of a serious nature was thought of it, but as it proved to be
of such a stubborn nature and not yielding to treatment everything possible was
done for his relief. It was finally decided that it was a tumorous growth in
the stomach. While the best medical advice obtainable was secured nothing
availed and he gradually grew worse until the end came as stated. He was an
unmarried man and leaves aside from his parents, one brother, Earl, and one sister, Mrs. Emily Ballou, the latter living near Grant City, Mo.
The
funeral occurred at the home Wednesday, conducted by Rev. W. M. Dudley. The
bereaved relatives have the sympathy of all in their hour of sorrow.

Death of George
Woodard
George
Woodard died Tuesday morning at 6
o'clock at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Woodard [Laura Jane
Munger], in West Bedford, age 50
years, 4 months and 24 days.
The
funeral services were held at the residence yesterday at 2 p. m., conducted by
Rev. Dudley. Interment at Bedford cemetery.
The
deceased was well known in Bedford, this having been his home for thirty-seven
years. He was born August 7, 1857, in McHenry county, Illinois, but when only
thirteen years of age he moved with his parents to Bedford, and ever since this
was his home.
George was respected and well liked by all who knew him.
He was quiet, steady, and of a rather retiring disposition. He attended to his
own business and was not disposed to interfere with the affairs of others. His
enemies were few and his friends were all those with whom he came in contact
and his death has caused sadness in many hearts.
George was a man of superb physique, and up to July 4th,
last, scarcely ever knew a day's illness. On that day he was taken ill, and
later went to the hospital where his disease was diagnosed as cancerous. When
he learned his doom, which was death within a few months, he faced it bravely,
and during the months of suffering he was patient and uncomplaining. He knew
the inevitable end was fast approaching, but he neither railed at fate nor
cowered in fear but went down to his grave with a courage that bespoke him a
true hearted man.
George
never married. He is survived by his parents, one sister, Mrs. Emily Ballou, and one brother, Earl.
