Edmunds,
Lizzie Smith Brooks -
Miss
Lizzie Smith was born in Henry County Iowa, December 29, 1852, and died at her
late home southeast of Lenox on Sunday morning, January 1st ,
1911
at the age of 58 years and 3 days. She was united in marriage
to Arthur Brooks in 1874 two children, one daughter, Mrs. Georgia Sparks of Ellston and one son Mr. Fred Brooks, of Lenox, were born to
them. On September i8th
1887
she was married to James Edmunds who with one son, Hugh, and two daughters,
Francis and Helen survive her.
The
deceased professed her faith in Christ as her personal Saviour in early youth and united with the Presbyterian Church in Mount Pleasant,
bringing her church membership to the local church on January 29, 1888 from
Muscatine and remained in said communion to the time of her death.
Mrs.
Edmunds suffered from a severe attack of La Grippe a year ago and she was not
able to rally from its effect. Her relatives and friends have realized that
that sickness would prove the beginning of the end. The family physician
rendered such services as were within his power
to give but he soon found the disease rapidly undermining her health by causing
complications, which must prove fatal. Eminent physicians were consulted but
all agreed that it
was only a matter of time. Although the deceased grew much worse about two weeks
before her death she was never bedfast. As the warning light in the eastern sky
proclaimed the beginning of the first day of a new year, her
soul departed to that home where changes of time and seasons cease.
Mrs.
Edmunds was of a retiring disposition, preferring her home and loved
ones to society and its demands. Surrounded by her dear ones, she fell asleep
in peace.
The
funeral services were held at her late home on Wednesday afternoon by her
pastor, Rev, J. C. Orth and her body was laid to rest
in Fairview cemetery. Besides the immediate family, she is survived by an only
sister, Mrs. Mary Ogg of Butler, Mo. To the bereaved
husband and sorrowing children a large circle of friends extend their sympathy.

Ringgold County. The death of this young
life and mother is particularly sad, and the community in which she lives has been
shocked beyond measure by it. She was taken sick about a week ago, a baby being
born to her, and
although she had always been in comparatively good
health in one week of time she sank so rapidly that it was impossible to save her.

Diagonal, Iowa, and Robert N., of Los Angeles, Cal.
In
September of 1861 her husband enlisted in Co. F, 11th Iowa and from this date
until November 1864 she realized, in full, the experience of a "war
widow". In the fall of 1878 the McCahan family
removed from Washington county to a farm in Ringgold
county, Iowa. In 1891 Mr. and Mrs. McCahan moved to
Lenox,

her membership in the U. P. church at the time of the union which formed this
church, in which she remained a faithful member until the time of her
death.
Mrs. McCahan had been ill for some time, but owing to infirmity
of advanced age, medical science could do little to build up the wasted
strength. As the shadows of evening were falling, Saturday, April 29, the tired
and worn out body was stilled in death and the immortal spirit took its flight
to realms of eternal day.
Funeral
services were held at the U. P. Church, Monday at 2 p. m., conducted by the

McConnell,
Thomas Allen -
When
the word was circulated, early Monday morning, that T. A McConnell was dead, the people who had known him so
well and for so long a time, were loath to believe it. Yet it was never the
less true. Mr. McConnell was seen on the streets every day through the week as
he came for his mail every morning with the regularity, characteristic of every
thing he did. He attended church
Sunday
morning and spent the afternoon under the shade trees in his yard, reading. He
retired that night in his usual health and early Monday morning he went to the
work shop to set berry boxes together for the morning picking,
remarking that he did not feel very well, his chest having bothered him some during the
night. His nephew, J. F. McConnell who was in his uncle's property, went o the
shop to get some boxes a few minutes later and found the old gentleman dead near the work bench.
Mr. McConnell came from Illinois many years ago and has since lived in Adams
and Taylor counties. During the last twenty years he has been a resident of
Lenox. He had reached the advanced
years of 78 but was well and active and his friends had no reason to think that he
would not be spared many more years. Funeral services this (Thursday) morning
at 10:00 o'clock, at the U. P. church with the pastor, A. L,. Davidson
officiating. Interment in Fairview cemetery where the wife of the deceased
was buried several years ago. Obituary next week,

lived
there three years
and then went back to Mercer Co. In the spring of 1876 they came to Adams Co., la., and lived near Stringtown until 1886 when they moved to their forty acre farm south of Lenox. In 1892 he built a house in town
which was his
home until the time of his death.
In early
years he united with the church and always remained faithful to the obligations
of the Christian life. He was quiet and
unobtrusive in his manner
but firm and
steadfast in his convictions of duty. Every good cause found in him an
unfailing friend and every evil an unrelenting foe. He was a positive force for righteousness in
the town and community. He was devoted
to his wife, kind to his neighbors and friends and thoughtful and helpful to
the
suffering and the needy. He was greatly appreciated and will be greatly missed by those
who knew him best. "Help Lord, for the godly man ceaseth and the faithful fail from among the children of men." _

Word
received early this morning stated that Maggie McCuaig had passed away at Maryville, Mo. where she had been for about two weeks. Miss McCuaig underwent a critical operation on the morning of
Feb. 3 and while it was understood that the chances were against her she had

improved until hopes were entertained for ultimate recovery. The friends were shocked

Margaret Elizabeth “Maggie” -
Margaret
Elizabeth McCuaig was born in Washington county,
Ohio, January 5th, 1872 and died at the St. Francis hospital at Maryville, Mo.
on Thursday morning, Feb. i6th, at the age of 39 years 1 month and 11 days.
She
came to Iowa with her parents in Feb. 1881 and after living upon a farm
for several years the family removed to their present home in west Lenox in
March
1891.
The
deceased has been greatly afflicted for a number of years and although she
suffered great pain at times she never complained. Her friends have realized for some time that unless medical skill
could secure her speedy relief
she could not live much longer. The care and
anxiety of her father's sickness and death proved a severe drain upon her
already enfeebled body. But she continued to perform her daily tasks until the
very last. On Tuesday she attended the funeral services of her longtime friend,
Mrs. Overmire, but upon returning home she was
compelled to take to her bed. The attending physician
pronounced her condition very serious and advised that she be removed to a hospital where
she could receive the very best medical attention. On Thursday afternoon she
was taken to Maryville, where, on the next morning, she
submitted to an operation which proved successful and from which she speedily rallied.
For the next ten days encouraging reports were received from the patient and
all expected a complete recovery. On Wednesday morning the friends received the
alarming news that her heart was beginning to fail and
grave fears were expressed by those attending her. At 2 o'clock the following morning
the end came peacefully. Realizing the nearness she
assured the attending sister of her absolute assurance for the Home on High and
after sending loving messages to mother, brother and a few friends her soul
departed for that place where there is neither darkness nor sorrow, parting nor
pain. Her body was brought back on Thursday afternoon and the
funeral services were held on Saturday at 2 o'clock p. m. at the Presbyterian
church of which society she had been a faithful and consistent member for
twenty years. The large congregation which seemed to be suffering a
personal loss and the large number of beautiful flowers attested to the high esteem in
which she was held by those who knew her best and were able to appreciate her
personal character and her unwavering devotion to her Master and His church.
The exercises were in charge of her pastor, J. C. Orth who expressed the great loss of the church and society. For a good many years
Miss
McCuaig has been one of the most active and zealous workers in the
missionary society, Sabbath school and young people's society and her faithfulness has
been an inspiration to others during some of the dark days of the church's
history The body was conveyed to Fairview cemetery and placed beside that of
her father who had been buried just four weeks before.
Miss McCuaig was a graduate of the Lenox high school with the
class of 1889.
The
sorrowing mother and brother who have suffered a double bereavement in such a
short time are receiving the condolence of the many friends and acquaintances.

was born in Indiana fifty years ago and has been a resident of Taylor county during the past twenty years. He leaves a wife and
three children. The funeral services were held at the home on Friday and the

Martha
Crawford was born near Pittsburg, Pa. May 24th, 1848 and died at her late
residence in south Lenox on Saturday morning, Jan. 28th, at the age of 62 years 8 mouths and 4 days.
In the year
of 1853 her parents removed to Cedar county and three years later to Tama Co.,
Iowa. On March 12th, i868 she was united
in marriage to Silas B. Overmire who with one son and
three daughters survive her, one baby boy having preceded her in death.
In the fall
of 1871 Mr. and Mrs. Overmire came to Taylor county
and .settled upon a farm southeast of town, removing to Lenox in 1897.
Many of our
citizens did not know that the deceased was ill when the news of her death was
received. On Saturday, Jan. 2ist, she first complained of feeling quite poorly
but neither she nor her friends thought of anything more than a severe cold.
Home remedies failing to give any relief, a physician was called but in spite
of all efforts to relieve her sufferings she continually grew worse
till her spirit
departed early Saturday morning.
Mrs. Overmire united with the Presbyterian church shortly after her removal to Taylor county and has been faithful in discharging
her duties, to the best of her ability and strength. For a number of yean; she
and her husband have had care of an invalid sister and it is generally believed
that the anxiety and care of the sister was so great a drain upon her vitality
that she was not able to resist the force of the disease.
The funeral
services were held at the Presbyterian church on
Tuesday forenoon and a large congregation witnessed to the high esteem in which
the family is held. Interment was in Fairview cemetery. To the sorrowing husband and children a large
circle of friends offer sincere sympathy. Beside the immediate family she is
survived by nine grandchildren, four brothers and three sisters, one of the
latter being very low with pneumonia at the present Time.

never fully recovered. Having been a sufferer from asthma for a good many years
she was not able to withstand her affliction. Although
her friends had noticed that she had failed during the past months, no one thought
that her end was near. On Monday afternoon she was compelled to take to her bed
where she was to remain less than 24 hours. Without a moment's warning and
almost before her friends realized what was taking place she fell asleep, fully
knowing that while her usefulness on earth had ended, a home in the Father's
Kingdom was awaiting her. Mr. Page who had departed for California only eight days ago was at
once notified and he is hastening home on a sad mission. Mrs. Page was a faithful member of the First
Presbyterian church and as long as her strength would permit, was active in the
various places of church work The funeral services will be held
at the church on Monday afternoon at two o'clock, her pastor officiating. Interment in Fairview cemetery.

The
death of grandma Riley which occurred very suddenly Saturday evening about 8:30 was a great
shock to the community, Her health had been failing for the past two months but
at the time of her death was thought to be some better. On the evening of her

of pain near her heart. Not thinking much of it she retired, apparently as well
as usual. In the course of about 15 minutes Mr. Riley heard a noise as if she

Cash on Saturday morning, April 8, 1911 at the advanced age of 79 years, 1
month and 12 days.
At the
age of 7 years the deceased removed to Illinois where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage to Martha R.
Trumbull on December 12, 1857. One
child, a daughter blessed this union. She lived to the age of 19 years when she
departed this life. In the early
eighties Mr. and Mrs. Tanner removed to Nebraska which remained their home
until the spring of 1892 when they purchased a farm near Guss,
Iowa. Here Mrs. Tanner departed this
life on September 11, 1909 thus leaving the subject of this sketch without the
comforts of a home in the declining days of his life. Since early in the fall
he has made his home with Dr. Cash and family.
Mr Tanner has been ill for some little time but no one realized that his end was quite so near at hand.
Funeral services were held at the residence of Dr. Cash early Monday morning,
the Rev. J. C. Orth officiating, after which the body
was taken to Guss where it was laid
beside that of his wife. Mr. Tanner was
a man who endeavored to deal justly and kindly and whose faith in the justice of God was very pronounced. Because
of his outspoken contempt
for selfish sectarianism which so many consider religious zeal, his position in
religious matters has been much misunderstood. He died as he had lived trusting
a just and merciful God for the life beyond the grave.
