The above is a part of the family record of Mr. and Mrs. David Morrison, of Blaine twp. Ida County. It covers but a little more than two months time, and yet what a world of anguish is crowded into that few weeks. Between the lines of the record can be read the account of days full of anxiety and nights full of sleepless sorrow. Of eating, corroding feat that overshadows and drives away all hope, Of death bed scenes where the friends who have been walking in the valley of the shadow of death are again made to cry out in agony of spirit. Of the new made graves that hide from mortal sight the loved forms that will be missed so much. Of blighted hopes and of hearts almost broken.

February 11,1882 Era Last Wednesday the many friends of D. M. Goodell, at this place, were saddened to learn of his death at Mr. Vernon, on Tuesday, the 7th. Mr. Goodell came to this place about three years ago and went into the office of C.W. Rollins to pursue his law studies having previously been admitted to the bar. He afterwards purchased of Dr. Walker a parnership in the city Drug Store, and a little less than two years ago, wedded almost estimable lady, bringing her here to their new home. Mr. Goodell’s health was never too good, and he became impaired last fall to the extent that he was compelled to give up his business. He then went to Mr. Vernon where his parents reside, being accompanied by Mrs. Goodell, who has tenderly watched at that sorrowful bedside throughout his long sickness. The disease was pronounced quick consumption, but it was hoped that by perfect rest and good care he might at least partially regain his health. Poor deluded hope, fated to be crushed soon! About two weeks ago he suffered a severe relapse, at which time his life was despaired of, but again he rallied and hope revived. Severer pain was experienced at the chest, which the physicians described as pleurisy. But it now appears that an abscess had all the time been forming upon his left lung. Last Sunday the abscess broke and it was known that he could not possible recover. Tuesday night a telegram came stating that poor Deloss had breathed his last.

February 18,1882 Era On Wednesday afternoon Christian Hintz, who came from Germany last spring and settled in the German Settlement north of town, left home taking with him all his clothes, month, watch, etc. The next evening his lifeless body was found hanging, stark and cold in a small shanty on the farm of H.C. Will. Hintz had evidently got tired of the trials and tribulations of this life and had taken a short cut to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. The only cause known for the rash act was somewhat inharmonious family relations, but as it is the general opinion that he was most to lame for this, it would hardly seem possible that he would take this method of settling family differences. It was found that he had built a fire and burned his extra clothing, cash (about $50.00) and watch, evidently not being disposed to let anybody else profit by his death. Yesterday the Coroner was notified and the usual legal proceedings were done. Hintz leaves a wife and three children in destitute circumstances.

May 13,1882 Era Again we are called upon to perform a sad duty, that is that on Tuesday last our people were pained to learn the death of Mrs. Dr. Collett, who peacefully passed away at 11 o’clock that morning. For five long years she had been a victim of that terrible disease, consumption, and for the past 6 or 8 months has been so low as to require constant attention day and night. During all her sickness Dr. Collett was a most devoted, tender husband and lavished every possible care upon the sufferer who so patiently awaited the Savior’s call.

He was immediately conveyed to the residence of his daughters, Mrs. J.H. Hyatt, who lives upon the opposite side of the street, and Mr. Hyatt was summoned from his work. Physicians pronounce the immediate cause of his death to have been a disease of the brain, superinduced, perhaps by drink. The old gentleman had been in feeble health for a number of years, during which time he has made home with his daughter. It is a sad affair, and the family, which is a most worthy one, will receive the sympathy of our people. The funeral services were held at the house on Tuesday.
