Burnett, Isaac G. - In the death of Isaac G. Burnet, which took place at the home of his daughter, Mrs W.F. Ferguson, last Tuesday afternoon a few minutes after 2 o'clock, one of the most noted men of this whole country, in the way of connections with an old family, which was identified with the very interesting history of both the old and the new country, was removed from our midst and it is not until now, after his death, that many will know of the prominent part the family has played in the history of two nations.

He was born at Cincinnatti, Ohio, on November 6, 1824, and died at Shenandoah on November 8, 1904, making his age 80 years and two days. His parents were among the earliest settlers at Cincinatti and a lot of relics of a temporary residence in Fort Washington are handed down in the family as almost priceless heirlooms. His father, Isaac G. Burnet was for 13 years the mayor of the city of Cincinatti and the old Burnet House, army headquarters during the Civil war, where everyone of the great northern leaders was entertained, was named for him. His marriage took place there and later he and his wife came to Iowa to Benton county, in a very early day. Afterwards they came here, and 20 years and more ago he was living at Essex [Page County, Iowa], being then a justice of the peace. Still later they went to Idaho where they lived for several years with a son and the past five years he has made his home here and with his daughter, Mrs Webster at Council Bluffs. His wife died about three years ago and is buried at Mexico, Mo., where two daughters now live. Eight children were born to them, seven of whom are living now, the oldest one, Gordon, having died while serving in the army during the Civil war. The names of the others are: E.G. Burnet, manager of the Soldiers' Home at Boise, Idaho; Mrs B.M. Webster, Council Bluffs; Mrs W.P. Ferguson, Shenandoah; Mrs Mary Jennings, Emporia, Kas; Miss Lizzie Burnet, Mexico, Mo.; Mrs Edith Preston, Mexico; Mrs Gertrude Hall, Garnett, Idaho. G.B. Jennings was also a nephew.

Mrs Ferguson, Mrs Webster and Mrs Preston were here when his death took place.

His death was caused by inflammation of the bladder and his sickness dates back about a year. Last fall he underwent an operation in a hospital in Council Bluffs and while it relieved him, yet it did not affect a cure. He came down here last March and had been here all that time until the time of his death. During most of the time, until the past six weeks, he was able to rally when it was thought almost impossible for him to do so. It was his desire to pass away on his 80th birthday, last Sunday, but his life was prolonged for two days after that time.

Short funeral services were held at the Ferguson home last Wednesday morning, conducted by Rev Hanley, and then the body was escorted to the train by the Masons and taken to Mexico, Mo., where it was interred by the side of his wife. Mrs W.P. Ferguson and G.B. Jennings accompanied the remains.

His life itself was an eventful and prominent one, but the story of the family history reads most interestingly.

As said above, his father was among the earliest settlers in Cincinatti and for many years its mayor. One of his brothers was Judge of the Supreme Court and another, David Burnet, President of the Texas Republic during the interim of its independence. Later, after Texas was admitted to the Union, he was chosen United States Senator under the Andrew Johnson administration but was refused admittance into that body under the reconstruction acts of congress. While acting as President of the Texas Republic, he sent his son back to Cincinatti to the home of Mr Burnet's father and as payment for his expense, gave to him 3,000 acres of Texas land and W.P. Ferguson had the settling of this estate in 1875, after the death of Mr Burnett, sr. He was also a lineal descendant of Bishop Burnet, Primate of England, who placed the crowns on the heads of William and Mary, when they were made King and Queen of England after King James had been driven from the country, following the strife between the Catholic and Protestant people. He had been with William and Mary during their exile from the country and when they were successful again, he crowned them.

During the Revolutionary war his grandfather was Major General Surgeon of the American forces and when Washington was inaugurated the first time his mother rode with him in the procession. Layfette, the great Frenchman, was in this country and a reception was given in his honor at the Burnet home and he could remember of Layfette picking him up and placing him on his knee. In 1860, when the Price of Wales was visiting this country, Mr and Mrs Burnet were appointed on the reception committee. Back in Cincinatti still, the Burnets and those intermarried into the family, occupy high places, both because of what they are doing and for the notable things they have done in the past.

Mrs Burnett's maiden name was Rebecca Bryant and they were married at Cincinatti on April 24, 1844, by his brother, David Burnett, a minister of the Christian denomination. Mrs Burnett died at Mexico, Mo., on Jan 25, 1901. During the civil war he served as a member of Co C 4th Iowa volunteers, under Col. Sanford, the noted lecturer of later years. Both of his sons also enlisted and one, Gordon, died during the service and is buried in the National Cemetery at Memphis, Tenn. In his early life he served as clerk of the district court of Hamlin county, Ohio, shortly before his removal to Iowa. He was a firm believer in the doctrines of Christianity but preferred and enjoyed such undenominational religious services as represented by the Open Door Mission of this city, where he was a regular attendant when able. He was a great reader of fiction and light literature, which he frequently enjoyed during his long sickness. Though weak and frail of body for a number of years past, his mind and memory remained clear and unclouded a few hours of his death.

Thus another of the "Old Guard" has gone, leaving a sweet memory behind him. THE SHENANDOAH WORLD, Shenandoah, Iowa, Nov 11, 1904

He grew up on the bank of the west Nodaway River near a little town of Tinville, Iowa. Leland enjoyed the outdoors and his older brother Stanley. As a child, it did not take him long to find his passions of hunting, fishing, and baseball. It was obvious for any eye to see his passions in life were his family, the great outdoors, and his favorite politics.

In 1968, during Vietnam War conflict, Leland joined the United States Military where he honorably served for 22 years. Leland was married to Linda Palma in 1977.

Leland educated children in American History in 2 states. He taught in Atlantic, Iowa and Union Star, Missouri. Leland was a proud and staunch Democrat. He served 2 terms as a Montgomery County Supervisor and 8 years as Mayor of Villisca, Iowa.

Leland was a passionate father and educator. Growing up with dad I quickly realized the one thing he wanted to see in his lifetime, and that was for the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series. They did that 4 times, and his dream was fulfilled! Leland often said, “life lessons as I remembered”: “Lace your boots up, pull your hood up we got people to talk to.” and “Crowd the plate son make them pitch to you. Don’t give that pitcher the easy out.”

He was preceded in death by his parents, Dwight and Ruth, Brother Stanley, and daughter Nicole.

OBITUARY

With profound sadness the family of Donna L Currie, 81, Shenandoah, IA announces her passing. Born July 1st, 1939, she passed peacefully at her home on Saturday December 12, 2020.

Donna Lou Fern Currie, the third daughter of Jesse W. and Fern E. (Swanson) Stanbrough was born July 1, 1939 in Page County. Donna grew up in rural Page County, attended Goldenrod country school and graduated from Essex, IA high school in 1957. At the age of 18 Donna started work as a bank teller in Essex, continued for 5 years in Tillamook, Oregon and then returned to the Shenandoah area where she retired from City National Bank at the age of 71 after serving her local customers for 46 years. Many customers waited in Donna’s line because as she would often tell it, “they knew I would take care of them”. Donna’s money handling skill also served her well when working weekend auctions with Jim and Joe Nebel.

Donna was blessed with three children; Kevin, Chad and Aimee and raised them in rural Shenandoah. The family enjoyed spending time with nearby relatives around Shenandoah, Essex and Red Oak, and at many Mustang and Fillies sporting events.

Donna was a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Shenandoah. She rocked babies as a volunteer at the Turnbull Childcare Center, earning her the nickname “Grandma Donna” and providing her joy exceeded only by that she received by spending time with the many little ones in her own and extended families. She also served as a Board member of the Shenandoah Senior Center, spending most afternoons there playing cards and socializing.

In recent years, Donna traveled with her many friends on trips to Florida and elsewhere with their hosts, the Neiharts, sharing pictures and stories with everyone upon her return. She loved these trips but also expressed how much she enjoyed coming home to her apartment to plan the next outing. Her home in the Center Street apartments was so special to her, as were her fellow residents, and especially Jackie and Marlene, looking out for and being there for each other when needed.

Donna’s passions were her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, visiting with people, watching golf on TV (big Tiger Woods fan), Iowa State sports, and the Kansas City Chiefs. You didn’t have to wait long for her call and the excited voice that came with it after a big Cyclone or Chiefs win.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents; her sisters, Elaine Woodyard and Maxine Crouse; brother, Gerald Stanbrough; brothers-in-law, George Woodyard and Robert Crouse; and dear friend, Jim Nebel.

Donna is survived by three children, Kevin Currie and wife Lynda of Brainerd, MN, Chad Currie and wife Sherry of Whitewater CO, and Aimee Currie and Jeremy Holland of Brooklyn, IA; three grandchildren, Logan Currie (Nick Panetta) of Haiku, HI, Ben Currie (Ashley Williams) of Des Moines, IA, and Anna Grace Currie of Des Moines; two great-grandsons, Kiko – (Logan & Nick) and  August - (Ben & Ashley); brother, Robert (Bernadette) Stanbrough, sisters, Beverly (Luke) McGargill and Karen (Bob) Aherns all of Shenandoah;  her extended family members; and all her many friends.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a private graveside service for immediate family will be the only services held at this time. Despite her considerable efforts to protect herself, Donna was a victim of community-spread COVID-19. Up to that point she was healthy, vibrant, and active. Her death was unexpected and unnecessary. To honor and respect her memory, and to protect those in her community that wish to gather to pay their respects to her, public services are planned for the fall of the coming year in September 2021. Until then, our family wishes to thank everyone for their messages of condolence and ask that you remember fondly our dear "Grandma Donna".  Also, please share your remembrances and condolences with the family at: swimemorial.com or mail cards: c/o The Currie Family, P O Box 277, Shenandoah, IA 51601.  In lieu of flowers, we ask that memorials in Donna’s name be gifted to the Turnbull Child Care Center.

Fred Nathan Hackett, III, son of Fred Nathan, Jr, and Marian Estaline (Williams) Hackett, was born on January 6, 1947 at Hand Hospital in Shenandoah, Iowa.   He unexpectedly entered into eternal rest on Sunday morning, December 13, 2020 at his home in Chandler, Arizona at the age of 73 years, 11 months, 7 days.

Born and raised in Shenandoah, Fred grew up at 208 W. Clarinda Ave, the original home of Fred’s great great grandfather, Jacob Bender, which was built in 1889.  Fred attended the Shenandoah Community Schools.  He was a proud alumnus of the Shenandoah High School Class of 1965, the largest class ever at Shenandoah.  Following high school, he attended Simpson College and later Drake University as an undergraduate before enrolling in mortuary school at the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service in Dallas, Texas.  He received his degree in Mortuary Science in 1969.

On April 25, 1969, Fred was united marriage to Eugenia (Ginger) Rhea Shepherd at Poteau, Oklahoma.  They made their home Shenandoah following their marriage. They were blessed with two daughters, Shawnette and Heather. 

In January of 1969, Fred returned to help his father in the family business, Hackett Funeral Home.   In the early years, funeral homes provided the ambulance services for the community.  Fred and his father provided this service until the hospital and then the city took over the ambulance service.  From loaning chairs to sitting in the ambulance in the end zone during Friday night football games to even loaning out artificial grass, it was all part of the job for the community and Fred was always of the temperament to help in what ways he and the funeral home could provide.  While in business, Fred was a member of (OGR) The International Order of Golden Rule, an invitational fraternity of independently owned funeral homes.  He was also active in the First United Methodist Church, KIWANIS, was Past President of the Shenandoah Chamber of Commerce (during the year of Shen hosting RAGBRAI), was an AFS parent (sending Heather to Greece) and AFS host parent (hosting Francesco Gospari from Italy and Christian Burmudez from Costa Rica).  He was also active in the Southwest Iowa Theater Group helping with several productions, with Fred’s favorite being “South Pacific”. 

He provided the important service of caring for his community’s loved ones as a funeral director/ mortician for 30 years. He became owner of Hackett Funeral Home upon his father’s passing in 1990.  After being raised in the funeral home and serving the community and profession, he chose to sell the business in 1999.  The thought of moving to Arizona where there was never any shoveling of snow was enticing but in reality, it was moving closer to their daughter, Heather, that took them to Chandler.

In semi-retirement, Fred missed the community involvement and interaction with people and found his fit in Real Estate becoming a licensed agent, working until his passing.

A huge University of Iowa Football fan, Fred enjoyed going to games in Iowa City and taking Heather to bowl games.   He also enjoyed attending home Iowa Basketball games as well.   He was especially excited to watch his grandson, Max, play football.  All the way through from flag football to proudly watching his Hamilton football games.   It should be noted that his big push to get back home following his extended Midwest visit due to health issues, was to make sure he walked with Max and Heather on Senior Night this fall.  

Fred was devoted to his grandchildren.  A joy for him was to treat Emma and Riley to Diamondback games when they visited, including Max and Brody when plans allowed – especially on “All You Can Eat” ticket nights!   Another big favorite of Fred’s was golfing.  Although he was no longer able to play, he always kept hope, keeping his clubs in storage all the while.  A highlight was when Joe and Jenni joined the Shen Golf world, knowing if Em, Riley, JJ, or Marlowe wanted to learn they would have Joe to teach them!  He was very proud that Max was working at the Ocotillo Golf Course and had taken up the challenge and that Brody had gotten some clubs to play golf.

Fred supported who he could, when he could, and how he could.  He will be remembered as a quiet man that loved people.  Preceding Fred in death were his parents.  Left to cherish his memory is his wife of over 51 years, Ginger Hackett of Chandler, AZ; two daughters, Heather Hackett of Chandler, AZ and Shawnette Hackett of Tacoma, WA; six grandchildren, Emma Martin of Shenandoah, IA, Riley Martin of Omaha, NE, Maxwell Hackett of Chandler, AZ, Brody Hackett-Wilson of Chandler, AZ, Charlie Curtis of Salt Lake City, UT, and Evan Daniel of Tacoma, WA; chosen family, Joe and Jenni Martin of Shenandoah, IA; chosen grandchildren, JJ and Marlowe Martin of Shenandoah, IA; cousins of Frank Hackett; other extended relatives; and many friends.

Funeral services were held at the United Presbyterian church here this Monday afternoon for Mrs Frank S. Hamilton, 55, the former Ruth Parker, who was county recorder here from 1924 - 1936.

Mrs Hamilton, sister of Mrs George E. Owen of Clarinda, died of pneumonia Friday in a Red Oak hospital. She was taken to the hospital April 15 for treatment of neck and throat lacerations which officials were told were self-inflicted. She had been ill for some time.

Mrs Hamilton was born at Mount Ayr and took the position as Page county deputy recorder in 1916. She became recorder in 1924 and remained in that position until shortly before her marriage in 1936.

She and her husband, a bank cashier lived in Harlan until moving to Red Oak last year. Mrs Hamilton was a member of the First Presbyterian church and the Order of the Eastern Star.

Kilpatrick, Charles - Charles Kilpatrick is another of the typhoid fever's victims of 1897. He passed peacefully away last Sunday, Oct 3, at 12:05 pm, at the home of his father, Ezekiel Kilpatrick, near Shambaugh. His illness was of five weeks' duration, and followed closely that of his brother, James L. Kilpatrick, who died in Clarinda, also of typhoid fever, Aug 7, last. It was two months yesterday since the death of James. At that time Charles had apparently a long life before him. He had helped to care for his brother in his last illness, and as time proved his own fatal illness was near at hand. During the siege of the fever, his friends, who were very many, hoped earnestly that he might recover, and awaited news from his bedside with eagerness to hear that he was better, and although there was some promise of his getting well, recovery was not to be, and a family and community bereft so recently of his brother, was called upon to past from him, and to experience the grief and sorrow inseparable from the death of one loved and respected by all who knew him, as was he. Charles Kilpatrick was born June 15, 1856, at Spring Mill, Montgomery county, Pa. Surviving him are his father, Ezekiel Kilpatrick, near Shambaugh, Ia., a brother, John, near Hawleyville, Ia., his mother, Mrs Ellen Kilpatrick, and two brothers, William and Daniel, at Conshohocken, Pa., two other brothers, Ezekiel and Robert, at Philadelphia, and one sister, Mrs William Jackson, at Chestnut Hill, Pa. The funeral was held Tuesday in the Methodist Episcopal church at Shambaugh, Rev D.M. Buckner officiating, and the service was largely attended. The floral offerings were numerous and very beautiful. The remains were laid at rest in the Clarinda cemetery, by the side of the brother (James) of the departed. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 8, 1897

Kilpatrick, James - James Kilpatrick died at his home in west Clarinda last Saturday night about 10 o'clock, aged 29 years, 4 months and 6 days. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church yesterday afternoon at 1:30 pm, conducted by Rev J.F. St.Clair, and the body was interred in the Clarinda cemetery.

James Luke Kilpatrick was born in Conshahocker, Pennsylvania, April 2, 1869. He was married to Miss Sarah E. Townsend Dec 25th, 1892. Two children were born to them, and they, with his wife, are left to mourn their loss. He was a loving husband and a kind friend and neighbor.

He was sick only a short time, but suffered severely, being unconscious most of his time. As he lay on the sick bed he said he did not expect to get well, and his expectation came true.

The wife and two little children have the profound respect and sympathy of all in this hour of their affliction. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 10, 1897

Lawrence, Lucille Marie Otte - Lucille Marie Otte Lawrence was born on November 3rd, 1939, in St. Joseph, Missouri. She grew up in St. Joseph and graduated from Lafayette High School in 1957. She then attended St. Joseph Junior College (now Missouri Western) and received an Associate’s Degree. After that she attended Northwest Missouri State University, Maryville, MO, and received a BA with a minor in Art. She taught elementary school in St. Joseph for several years and then returned to Northwest to begin graduate school. It was there she met William D. Lawrence. They were united in marriage on August 12, 1967. To this union were born daughter Lisa S. Lawrence and son Adam B. Lawrence.

After moving to Clarinda, Lucy was hired to teach English at South Page School in College Springs, IA. She taught for one semester and then became pregnant with Lisa. After this, Lucy decided to stay home to raise her family. During this time she had several side jobs that kept her busy. She ran a craft shop called Potpourri out of the family’s basement where she sold her own and other local artists’ wares. She made and sold puppets and had a traveling puppet show she would perform at birthday parties and events throughout Iowa and Northwest Missouri. She designed and created one of the Clarinda High School’s Cocky Cardinal Mascot costumes and one of her puppets even made a brief appearance on America’s Got Talent. She babysat for several families and loved those children as if they were her own. When the kids were old enough to go to school, Lucy continued her education at Northwest. She received a Masters in English and a minor in French, and began teaching English and French classes at Northwest. She later drove to the University of Nebraska Lincoln and taught English classes while also furthering her education. She completed her dissertation but stopped short of obtaining her PhD due to personal reasons. Even as recently as a few years ago she was taking law classes at Missouri Western in St. Joseph, MO.

In the mid-eighties, while going to school, she became the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) director and was responsible for coordinating volunteers for community events such as the Glenn Miller Festival and the Page County Fair. She also helped establish the Youth Efforts in Service (YES) volunteer program for school age volunteers, and was instrumental in forming the SHARE Food program where you could get a package of food for $15 and 1 hour of volunteer work. Along with the CHS FFA class she helped establish the monthly Curbside Recycling program. Her office was at the Clarinda Treatment Complex for many years until the state stopped funding the program. She then formed and continued to run the Clarinda Area Volunteer (CAV) program out of her home. In recent years she had been coordinating the Clarinda Taxi and Page County Passengers (which takes people to appointments outside of Clarinda).

One of Lucy’s favorite hobbies was bowling. She had been a member of many teams and developed many friendships over the years. While she enjoyed all kinds of bowling, her favorite was Nine-Pin No-Tap. After suffering a mini-stroke a few years ago, she wasn’t able to drive and she wasn’t able to bowl. She eventually was able to do both again, but she was more excited to be able to bowl than anything else. She was also a past member and president of PEO Chapter KH and served on the Clarinda Public Library Board. She and Bill were named Clarinda Chamber Citizens of the Year and Grand Marshalls of the CHS Homecoming Parade.

Lucy also had a great love of animals. Growing up she had a pet skunk named Flower. Besides the family cats and dogs over the years, she also took in animals when their owners passed away or were unable to take care of them. She couldn’t bear the idea of them being put to sleep. She also took care of her grand-dogs when Lisa was away and still took care of friends’ animals when they went out of town, often letting them stay at home with her and Bill.

Lucy was preceded in death by her mother Kathryn Stouffer Otte, sister Joyce Hankins, and her sisters-in-law Maxine Halligan, Joyce Groves, and Ramona Boyd, and brother-in-law David Lawrence. She is survived by her husband of fifty-three years Bill Lawrence, of Clarinda, IA; daughter Lisa Lawrence of South Daytona, FL; son Adam and wife Amy, and grandsons Andrew & Ryan Lawrence, of Clarinda, IA; sister Suzanne Sybert of St. Joseph, MO; nieces Amy Blonde of Kansas City, MO, Alyson Matt and daughter Gillian Matt of St. Joseph, MO, Debbie Eglich and husband Joe of Lee’s Summit, MO, and Tricia and husband Tom Brown, and daughter Taby Robinson of Simi Valley, CA; as well as many other family and friends.

Lucy had a big heart and spent her life in education and volunteer work, trying to make the world a better place. She enjoyed meeting people and hearing their stories, and telling her own also. She loved her family more than anything. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her but her legacy will live on through her family, friends and anyone’s life that she touched
