Manroe, Lola Lucille -

 It is a sad affair indeed, to relate the frightful accident which happened to little Lola Manroe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Manroe of this city, that occurred Friday morning, when she was severely burned.

She had been with her mother early that morning in the garden and about the house. Mrs. Manroe had been killing potato bugs in the garden by knocking them off into a tin can that had some kerosene it it and burning the bugs in the kitchen stove.

Little Lola, it is thought, had gotten hold of the can of oil unknown to her mother or had poured some oil out of into the can that she had been using,

and doused it in the front of the stove. Then there are other possibilities that could have happened caused from burning some small strips of paper. But just

how it all came about will always remain a mystery as there was no one in the house at the time and her mother was in the garden by the house at the time

the little girl caught fire.

When she ran out of the kitchen with clothing ablaze there were several to her assistance in a few moments time, beside the mother. Lloyd Davis ran across

the street from the elevator office with a blanket and D. Durbin and Harley Maple were soon there with a blanket. Several of the neighbors responded quickly. A doctor was immediately summoned and the most efficient and

practical medical aid and treatments were administered with the closest of attention in an endeavor to save the life of the little child.

This took place about 7:30 Friday morning, and practically all her clothing was burned from her, including the head of hair with the exception of a little on

the back part. She was conscious all nil day and talked freely until a few minutes before death came about 6:30 that evening.

It is indeed, a sad and horrible blow to the bereaved parents, relatives and friends; while the whole community was stricken with horror over the unfortunate accident that occurred to the innocent little child, the parents

can rest assured they have their sympathy.

William McClintock went to California in 1873.  He soon became a builder of railroads.  For about twenty years he did construction work with a lot of men under his direction on the Southern Pacific, and the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Lines.  He took great pleasure in telling his friends and acquaintances of his experiences and achievements in the construction of those pioneer lines to the Pacific coast.  In 1893 he retired from the strenuous activities of life and lived in Lenox until 1912 and then moved for a warmer climate to Siloam Springs, Ark. where he made his home until about a year before his death.  Mr. McClintock was a man of strong convictions and untiring energy.  In politics a republican, in religion a Presbyterian.  While not affiliating himself with any particular church during his sojourn in Lenox he became identified with the Presbyterian Church in Siloam Springs.  The relatives have the sympathy of their friends and neighbors.  There many kindnesses in the hour of their sorrow are greatly appreciated.

McIntire, Edward [McIntyre] –

Ed Mclntire, an old bachelor who has resided ½ mile east of Sharpsburg for the past 45 years, was found Tuesday evening by neighbors sitting up in a chair by the table with a cup in his hand, dead. The close neighbors not seeing him around for two or three days, thought that he might be sick, so they entered the house and found him dead, as stated above. From all appearances he must have been dead for at least two days. He was a man aged about 68 years. The body was taken to Lenox, Tuesday evening and was buried in the Catholic cemetery at that place yesterday afternoon. From what we can learn he has no relatives residing in the county, but has two nieces, one residing in Colorado, and the other in Oklahoma, who will share each alike in what property he possessed. We understand that he was the owner of the little farm

he lived on, 35 acres, and had some money.

Wallace, Douglas “Dug” –

(Bedford Times Republican)

Sunday morning the people of this community were shocked when the news was spread about town that “Dug” Wallace, well known to practically every man, woman and child in the city, had  taken his own life by hanging.

Mr. Wallace was a man 65 and during his entire career had traversed practically all over the world, returned to the home of his boyhood days about four years ago, broken in health and at times confined to his bed.  For the past month he has suffered to great extremes and had often made the threat and statement that he was tired of living and had a notion to ‘shuffle off” but on these occasions his friends had thought lightly of the matter and tried to dissuade him from the gloomy thought.

During the past week he had been seen to sit as if in deep study and on Sunday morning, presumably along about 3 o’clock he arose and started the kitchen fire then carefully locking the door between the kitchen and the other part of the house quietly left the house, and with a short ladder, lantern and rope proceeded to the old Loughlin yard, about 200 yards from home, and there to a large walnut tree he propped his ladder, and after adjusting the noose and also tieing his hands back of his head with a slip knot,”swung off” where misery and trouble were at an end.

His sister, Mrs. Westfall, arose early to get a drink for her mother who is aged and sick, and discovered the fire burning and her brother no where in sight.  Alarmed at this, and thinking of his former statements, a hasty search was instituted and it was not long before the body was found hanging, with life quite extinct.  A hurried call was sent to the Sheriff and county attorney, and they and other neighbors were soon on the scene.  C. E. Livingston, who was present ascended the ladder and cut the rope and assisted in lowering the

body to the ground. 

Before committing the fatal act and on his way over to the tree he had chosen, he had stopped and removed his coat and shoes, and prepared a note and left it at the foot of the tree telling where to find them. No cause can be assigned for the rash act, except that his broken health had deranged his mind, and realizing that he was but a burden to his aged mother, as well as his sister, in a sudden fit of despondency ended all.

The body was taken to the Wetmore funeral home and the funeral took place from there Monday afternoon, Rev. Lumbar of the Presbyterian, church conducting the services; after which interment was made at Old Lexington.

The deceased leaves behind him to mourn his sad ending, an aged mother, a sister, Mrs. Westfall, who resides here, and two brothers, who are well-to-do farmers in northern Canada. The bereaved ones have, the sympathy of all by the gloom cast over them by the sad ending of the deceased.

in this family circle. She has been a little sufferer for eight years past which denied her of all her school privileges, and many other ways of entertainment.

Nothing was spared by her fond parents to regain her health, yet after all was done that could be done, it was of no avail. One of her great desires in life was  that she might get well; and be as her companions. She loved to go to Sunday School, and be her mother's companion. She has been treasured in this home

all through her illness as a babe. Her illness seemed that she had no hope of recovery, yet her death came suddenly after about 36 hours of intense suffering.  She is survived by her parents, one sister, Mrs. Esther Waddell

of Audubon, la., and three brothers, Homer, Lonzo and Glendon, all at home, and many dear relatives and friends. Funeral services were held on Thursday at 2:00 p. m., at the home, Rev.
