To The Home Beyond
Ezekiel Steele Kelley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Kelley, was born in Highland County, Ohio, 58 years ago last April and died from an attack of typhoid fever of three weeks duration last Wednesday at thirty minutes past seven. Deceased came to Montgomery County, Iowa in 1869 and was married to Alcinda Higgins in 1870. To this union nine children were born, all of whom, with his wife, three brothers and one sister, are left to deeply mourn their loss.
He told his youngest daughter Effie that his time had come to leave them, and he was ready to meet his Savior. He expressed a willingness to go and gave directions as to how he would like the funeral arranged, etc., but charged the daughter not to communicate anything he had told her to any one of the family until after he was buried. She did not and the strange part of it is that the funeral was arranged just as he had wanted it.
Mr. Kelley had been a resident of Valley township for the past 24 years and was a highly respected citizen. He had frequently been elected to office of trust in the township and in his departure the family losses a kind and loving father and husband, his neighbors, a thoughtful and obliging friend, and the community in general an honored and respected citizen.
The funeral occurred at the family residence last Friday forenoon at 10 o'clock and was conducted by Rev. Dudley, pastor of the M. E. Church of Villisca. The following named gentleman acted as pall bearers: Emmett Graham, Frank Feese, Chas Wright, George Fisher, James Williams, and Frank Fisher. A large concourse of relatives and friends sorrowfully followed the remains to their last resting place, the Villisca cemetery.

Obituary of a Good Man
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, October 26, 1900
HEPBURN, Ia., Oct. 25, 1900. –Ezekiel Kelly, deceased. After the burial was over it was revealed that the deceased had been making preparations to meet death and all in a very quiet way, revealing the fact to no one except one of his little girls, Effie. Some two or three days before he died, he would watch his chance to talk to his daughter and tell her how he wanted things carried out. He told her he was going to die and was prepared to die and was going to heaven and begged of her to meet him there and all of the family but charged her to not reveal this to any one until he was gone. He said not to let his companion know, for she was so near worn out from waiting on him, it would make her sick. At times little Effie would break down and cry and he would charge her to not cry, for he did not want any of the family to know he was going to die. He planned for the funeral, the pall bearers and where he should be buried and the text and scripture reading, which was all carried out just as he had planned, without the knowledge of his preparation by any of the family. He also told her that the doctor would not arrive again until he was dead, which was true.
The fiftieth wedding anniversary was being celebrated at his father-in-law's home in Villisca, of which he spoke, and said to his daughter that they would not be through eating dinner until he would be dead. The deceased was a pall bearer at Mrs. Joe Moore's funeral, and he told little Effie that it seemed to him that something told him that he was to go next. The deceased was 53 years of age. He was an upright man, a good neighbor, a kind father, a faithful husband and has left as evidence that is consoling to his bereaved family that he has gone to that home prepared for the faithful. The deceased leaves a companion and nine children to mourn his loss.

Orion A. Kelly – Orion A. Kelly died at Deadwood, S. D., Friday, May 25, 1900, at 11 o'clock p. m. and his remains were brought to this city for burial. Mr. Kelly was born in Muskingum county, O., Feb. 24, 1879. From Ohio he moved with his parents to Texas, where they remained several years and then moved to this city several years ago. Mr. Kelly was a painter by trade, having begun the work while quite young. Orion's father, F. E. Kelly was killed while painting J. D. Hawley's opera house in this city early in the spring of 1896. The fastenings of his scaffold gave way and he fell about thirty feet to the sidewalk below and death was instantaneous. Orion still followed the trade however and became an expert with the brush. He located in Deadwood several months ago and worked at his trade. His health had been quite poorly for some time past, and he had been taking medicine and unfortunately took too much at one time and the result was an untimely death. His roommate, George Allen, also from this city, immediately notified Mr. Kelly's relatives here and also accompanied the remains to this city for burial. Mr. Kelly was a member of Deadwood lodge, No. 51, A. O. U. W. and carried $2000 insurance in the same. The funeral services were held at the home of his mother Tuesday morning, May 29, conducted by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz.

Another Report of Kelly's Death
From the Daily Times, S. D., we clip the following account of the death of Orian Kelly, of this city, who died accidentally in Deadwood on last Friday night: --
Orian A. Kelly died last night at his room, No. 37, Syndicate block, in this city, from an over dose of "Fowler's Solution," of arsenic of potash, taken as a blood purifier. Kelly was a painter and had been employed by H. L. Sanderson since last January. His room companion, George Allen, was present at the time and the two were preparing for bed about 11 o'clock. Kelly had been taking some medicine for his blood, but the bottle was empty, and he said he would take some "Fowler's Solution." Allen got into bed and left Kelly sitting up, smoking a cigarette. In a minute or two he spoke to Kelly and told him to come on to bed. He detected that he was acting very stupidly and getting up, found that he was partially unconscious. Three physicians were called, but they were unable to render any assistance. The chemical acted almost instantaneously, and Kelly did not say a word after taking it. The remains were taken to Robinson's undertaking rooms and Kelly's relatives were informed by telegraph. His mother lives at Clarinda, Iowa, and a brother is train dispatcher for the Baltimore & Ohio railroad in Chicago. Kelly came here last winter and about two months ago joined the Ancient Order United Workmen lodge of this city. His death was purely accidental. He had been accustomed to taking the drug, but it is presumed that he took too large a dose.

Your Scribe became intimately acquainted with the deceased in 1882 and was struck with his steady devotion and his explicit trust in the promises to those that trusted in the Lord. He died in the full triumph of a bright world beyond. His last sickness was gangrene in the limb below the knee. The progress of the disease could not be checked, and he desired an amputation, which was very successfully performed and he rallied from it in the best of shape and was doing well when a blood vessel near the heart broke and he expired immediately. A large concourse of friends assembled to pay their last sad tribute to a worthy friend. Rev. Johnson conducted the funeral services at the home, then the last march was taken up and the remains were deposited in the Burch cemetery, three miles east of Braddyville. A good man has gone to his reward.

[KNIGHT, EDWARD FRANKLIN]
Clark County Courier (Kahoka, Missouri), Friday, April 29, 1921
Knight – Edward Franklin Knight, son of Eleven [Levin] and Elisabeth Knight, was born June 17, 1842, at Morgantown, Indiana and died April 24, 1921, at Luray, Mo., aged 78 years, 10 months and 7 days. He was united in marriage to Margaret Alice Adams Aug. 2, 1869. Unto them were born three children: Mrs. Lillie Day Young of Brownsville, Neb.; Mrs. Isabelle Swalley of Omaha, Neb., and Harvey E.[gbert] Knight of Shenandoah, Iowa, all of whom survive him. The wife and mother preceded him to the land beyond Feb. 7, 1900.
He was again united in marriage to Martha J. Riggs of Luray, Mo., March 3, 1915, who survives him. Early in life Brother Knight enlisted as a volunteer for Jesus and joined the Christian church at Weldon, Iowa. After coming to Luray, he placed his membership in the Methodist Protestant church of which he was a faithful and worthy member. Brother Knight was known for his sunny smile and cheerful disposition. To know him was to love him.
While yet in the teen age when the dark clouds were hovering over our land and nation he enlisted in Co. D, Eighth Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Cavalry in the defense of his country. Served with this regiment thru the duration of the war. Was mustered out at Macon, Georgia, Aug. 13, 1865. On Sunday, April 24, 1921, Brother Knight engaged in his last battle. He met the foe cheerfully and bravely, knowing that defeat meant victory for he and his king. Gathered around the old veteran were a guard of young veterans of the world war to minister unto and honor an old veteran as only a soldier can. As the sunset paled in the west, life's work being ended, the good fight of faith being won, the spirit returned unto God who gave it. The soldiers of the Legion were pallbearers and a touching scene it is to see those boys bearing the old veterans off the field after the battle of life is over.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist Protestant church, conducted by the pastor, W. M. Hartin. Scripture reading 1 Cor. 5: 16-26, 35-38. Text, 1 Cor. 15:55. After the services the "boys" gently placed the casket on the train that would bear him back to his old home, Essex, Ia., accompanied by his daughters, Mrs. Lillie D. Young and Mrs. Isabelle Swalley, there to sleep by his first wife until this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.   W.

He came here Saturday evening to visit a sister and went to the river with friends to have a basket dinner. He went in bathing, swam across the river and on returning floated down stream and sank before his friends could assist him. The river was dragged, but the body had not been found at 6 o'clock. – Council Bluffs Nonpareil.

ESSEX – At about 4:30 Sunday afternoon Fred Larson, a young man of 19 years living near Hawthorne was drowned in the Nishna on the farm of R. A. Sanderson, north of town. Mr. Larson, accompanied by some friends, was visiting his sister, Mrs. Prince, of this place, and they in company with some Essex people repaired to the river for the purpose of having a jolly time. In the order of events washing horses was part of the pastime and it seems that Fred swam across the stream and before starting back, remarked to his sister that he didn't know whether he could make it back or not. He made the attempt and when only a short way back threw up his hands and called for help. The remainder of the party made every attempt to rescue the drowning boy but of no avail. He was the youngest son and was his mother's dependence on the farm. Word was sent at once to his mother at Hawthorne and a large party at once organized and drove to the scene. As soon as the news reached town a large party of Essex people went and commenced the search for the body, which was kept up until 3 o'clock Monday morning. The search was resumed but no trace of the drowned man could be found. About fifty men were at work. The body was not found until Tuesday morning at 8:10. About 200 yards below where he was last seen. The undertaker at Red Oak was notified at once and at 11 o'clock he was on his way home with the body. Fred Larson leaves a mother, three brothers and five sisters, besides many other relatives and friends to mourn his sad and sudden death.

The funeral of Robert Leech here last Wednesday afternoon was an exceedingly sad affair. The young man was formerly a resident of this place, he having grown to young manhood here and as his body was lifted off the afternoon train from Council Bluffs, six of his boyhood companions—Hugh Miller, Orie Harbord, Orville Greene, Clarence Blair, Fred Loranz and Gerald Graff--bore it to the hearse and accompanied it to the cemetery. A large line of carriages filled with sympathizing friends of the family accompanied them to the grave, where Dr. T. C. Smith conducted short and impressive services. A male quartet composed of John and Orie Keener, C. L. Vance and Otis Lucas, sang two selections. The flower offerings were very elaborate and beautiful. Mr. and Mrs. Leech and the brothers and sisters have the heartfelt sympathy of this community in their grief. Their son was known here as a manly and promising lad, and his death brought expressions of sorrow and sympathy from all who were acquainted with him.

--A horror occurred at the Burlington Junction Mineral Springs last Monday morning. A guest, Mr. C. [harles] D. Lester of Shenandoah, Iowa, while alone in the office put a bullet through his brain. To all appearance he stood before the looking glass, put the muzzle of the revolver against his temple and fired. His body was discovered shortly afterward lying a pool of blood. A jury was summoned, and a verdict given in accordance with the above facts. Mr. Lester was a citizen of Shenandoah, an old bachelor, and said to be well off in this world's goods. He came to the Springs Saturday evening and to all appearances had been on an extended spree. Thus whiskey can be credited with another death.

A Bullet In His Brain.
C. D. Lester of Shenandoah, Iowa, Commits Suicide at the Burlington Junction Mineral Springs Hotel.
C. [harles] D. Lester, a stock dealer and large real estate owner of Shenandoah, Ia., suicided in the hotel at the mineral Springs near Burlington Junction, on Monday morning about ten o'clock.
Mr. Lester is said to have been a man addicted to periodical sprees and has, for the last two or three years, come to the springs after a spree to sober up. This time he came last Saturday morning to the hotel and to appearances had had a prolonged debauch. At least, he told Dr. Black that such was the case and wanted to stay until able to take care of himself. He was assigned a room and deposited $40 with the Dr. Other than a few calls for light drams of liquor he was getting along all right.
Monday morning he ate his breakfast as usual, went into the Dr.'s office and conversed pleasantly for some time and made the remark that "some people was worrying because they were in debt and had no money, while he was out of debt and was worrying because he had too much money." He left the room and the Dr. went to the bath house. After that, nothing was known of him for a few minutes, until the chambermaid went into the office to arrange the room and saw the prostrate body of Mr. Lester.
It is supposed that he came into the office and saw the Dr.'s. revolver in the bookcase and there and then concluded to do the rash act. He evidently stood before a large mirror in the office and placed the weapon to the spot he wanted it and pulled the fatal trigger. In falling the pistol dropped on the stand beneath the mirror. The ball went in at the left temple on the right side and came out under the left ear, producing almost instant death.
Mr. Lester was a man about 50 years of age and is reported by good authority to be worth $40,000. He was unmarried. He has two brothers in New York whom he visited a short time ago. Friends from Shenandoah responded to telegrams, came down, cared for the body and removed it Tuesday to Shenandoah for burial.

Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, October 19, 1900
ESSEX – Last Friday morning word passed from one to another as fast as occasion presented itself, "John Lindburg is dead." It was a terrible surprise to everyone, as he had not been ill. He was out at his son's, east of town some miles and had been helping some, and on returning said that he did not feel well. In the night his son went to his room to see how he was, and you can imagine his surprise on finding his father had crossed the river from which none ever return. Mr. Lindburg was an old settler in this vicinity, an earnest, active pillar in the church and a respected citizen. The funeral services were held Sunday at 11 o'clock in the Lutheran church. Rev. Mr. Seashore preached in both English and Swedish. The funeral procession, which was very large, proceeded to Bethesda, where services were also held, and where the burial took place. Mr. Lindburg leaves a widow and five children to mourn his death.

WALTER LINN DEAD
The community was shocked Monday to hear of the death of Walter Linn, one of Montgomery County's prominent farmers, after a short illness of only one week. His demise occurred at the home two miles north of Stanton at 4:30 that morning. Death was due to inflammation of the veins following la grippe. He was born in Henry County, Illinois, January 10, 1863, and at the time of his death he was 51 years, 2 months, and 12 days old. He moved to this county with his parents in 1871 and settled in Page County. He was married May 8, 1896, to Anna Hogberg, the ceremony being performed at Stanton, but she lived only 4 years after the marriage and died in 1900. To this union 2 daughters, besides his four sisters and three brothers, and many other relatives and friends, survive him and mourn his loss. He was a man of the highest type and one whom the community will sadly miss. His robust nature made him appear almost immune to disease and sickness. He was of a jovial nature and neighborly and of the kind that people really enjoy having met. As a farmer he was thrifty and energetic and passed the valuable farm upon which he lived until his death. Funeral services were held at the house at 9:30 this morning and at the Mission Church here, of which he was a member, at 11:00 conducted by Rev. Isakson. Other services were held at Nyman where the body was placed in its final resting place in the cemetery there, where also lies the remains of his parents, wife, and infant child. Stanton Call.

[LISLE, FRANCES LAVINA SPRY]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, July 13, 1900
Mrs. Frances Lavina Lisle, wife of C. A. Lisle, editor of The Herald and postmaster of Clarinda, died at her home in this city Tuesday evening at 8:50 o'clock. Her health had been impaired for a year or more before her death, but last fall and winter improved, giving promise of her recovery. Recently her condition changed and only within a brief period of her passing away did it become generally known that she was in a critical state. Two weeks ago last Sunday she attended church and two nights later a concert at the Methodist Episcopal church. Later, she was taken seriously ill with heart trouble and disease had fastened its fatal hold upon her. Anxious, loving relatives and skillful medical aid she had to do their best for her, but recovery was not to be. She had managed to be about so courageously that it was not generally known that her health was so feeble until near the last and when the end came there was universal sadness in this community. She was lady of whom all spoke well and kindly. Those who knew her bore tribute to her great worth and goodness as a model Christian woman, wife, mother, and member of society. Mrs. Lisle's maiden name was Spry. She was born July 29, 1850, in Zanesville, O. When a child she lived near Mount Pleasant, Ia., on a farm for a few years and then in the town of Mount Pleasant, where she attended school. She was afterwards a student in the Iowa Wesleyan college. Jan. 3, 1872, she was married to C.[harles] A. [lbert] Lisle. To them seven children were born, six of whom survive. One child, a son, Vernie, was accidentally drowned near this city in 1890, losing his life in trying to save his brother Edwin from drowning. The surviving children are Mrs. S. M. Greene, Stella, Edna, Edwin, Harvey and Lawrence Lisle. Mrs. Lisle was a resident of Clarinda for fifteen years. She had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church from childhood and was noted for her faithful, useful work as a church worker. The funeral was held yesterday at 4 p. m. at the family home. The attendance of friends and neighbors was very large. Relatives and immediate friends remained in the house. The ministers and singers occupied the front porch facing most of those present, who were on the lawn. The service was an impressive one. It opened with an invocation by Rev. J. W. S. Lowry, pastor of the United Presbyterian church. A quartet composed of Messrs. C. L. Vance, R. G. McCutchan of Shambaugh, J. D. Keener and O. W. Keener, sang "Jesus, Savior, Comfort Me." Prayer was offered by Rev. W. S. Hooker of Red Oak, presiding elder of the Methodist Episcopal church. Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city, of which the deceased died a member, then read from the Scriptures, gave a sketch of the life of the deceased, and paid a highly complementary, eloquent tribute to a deserving woman. The quartet sang "Somewhere." Rev. E. W. McDade of Perry, a former pastor of the deceased, added in fitting words his own testimony concerning her, commenting upon, among other things, the fact of her having no enemies and the general evidence that she was never heard to say an unkind word of any one; this too, while her convictions were so strong and her intellect so great. Mr. Hooker then spoke words of praise and comfort, the quartet sang "Beautiful Country," and Rev. A. A. Walburn, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Coin, offered the closing prayer. The pall bearers, O. H. Park, Frank Pierson, G. Wm. Richardson, A. F. Beal, J. R. Good and A. W. Greene, bore the casket to the hearse and the long procession started for the city cemetery, where the burial took place. In addition to other relatives, previously mentioned, the late Mrs. Lisle leaves her mother, Mrs. Jane Spry, and a brother, H. R. Spry, in this city.

HEPBURN – Mother McKain, whose maiden name was Louisiana Saddler, was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., Jan. 22, 1818. Her death occurred at the home of her son, S. P. McKane, one mile south of Hepburn, at 1 p. m., Nov. 10, 1900, her age being 82 years 9 months and 18 days. Deceased was raised and educated in Pennsylvania and made a profession of religion early in life. In February 1841, she was married to Francis Dougherty, who died in 1855. Six children were born of this union. Four years later she was married to Samuel E. McKain at Rymersburg, Clarion county, Pa. Mr. McKain died Jan. 20, 1890, leaving her again a widow. Two children resulted from this marriage, viz: Samuel Plummer, of Hepburn, and Mrs. Mary Cagley, wife of Levi Cagley, a prosperous farmer of Douglas township. Deceased first came to Iowa in 1868. In 1883 the McKains moved to Kansas but returned to Iowa a year later. In 1893 she united with the United Presbyterian congregation at Hepburn, of which organization she was a member at the time of her death. Besides those mentioned above two other children survive her, Louisana Dougherty, wife of A. J. McKain, of Rapid City, S. D. and Henry Dougherty of Mars, Pa. Marked traits of her character were industry, economy and honesty. Disease incident to old age caused the lingering illness which ended in her death. In the nature of things she suffered much, but she was patiently and carefully nursed through the weary months of her last illness by Mrs. Lucinda Burns until death, who comes to all sooner or later, came with
"That golden key
That opens the palace of eternity,"
and ushered Mother McKain into the enjoyment of her reward. The funeral services were held in the Cagley church, near Hepburn, at 11 a. m., Monday, conducted by Rev. Dr. David Dodds, pastor of the Hepburn United Presbyterian congregation. The Doctor's text for the occasion was John xi; 25 and 26, which reads as follows: "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

[MCMICHAEL, GEORGE W.]

George W. McMichael – George W. McMichael, whose death occurred at his home in Clarinda on Friday, the seventh instant, was born in Crawford county, O., Dec. 14, 1835, so that at the time of his death he was 45 years, 10 months and 23 days of age. His death was the result of an accidental discharge of a pistol on Sept. 14, 1900, the bullet entering his brain. Being of a hopeful disposition and possessing a good constitution he rallied and his chances for recovery for a time seemed good. He recovered sufficiently to enable him to go to the polls on Nov. 6 and cast his vote for McKinley and Roosevelt. On the 23d of November while he was moving into a recently purchased home, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and though he received most skillful treatment at the hands of the physicians and though he was carefully and tenderly nursed he remained unconscious until death relieved his sufferings. The funeral services were held at the family residence last Sabbath and were conducted by Rev. Dr. David Dobbs, pastor of the Hepburn United Presbyterian congregation of which he was an esteemed member. Rev. W. J. S. Lowry of Clarinda assisted in the exercises while the singing of the Psalms by the United Presbyterian choir of Clarinda was sweetly beautiful. The remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery, by the following named gentlemen who acted as pall bearers: D. Friedman, C. N. Crain, W. J. Williams, T. J. Ferguson, D. G. Sutherland and Miller McVay. He left a wife, two sons, Elmer J. and Glenn C., to mourn their loss. Other near relatives who survive him are a brother, John, who lives in Villisca, and a brother, Edward, who with a sister Clara, resides near Clarinda. Another sister, Mrs. George Chamberlain, lives near Hepburn. Deceased was but three months old when his parents came to Page county and settled on a farm near Clarinda, where he grew to manhood. As a lad he was industrious, assisting his father on the farm during the summer and attending school during the winter. It cannot be said of him that he received a liberal education, but his steady habits and good sense enabled him to acquire a practical education and fit himself for the duties of intelligent citizenship. In 1879 he was married to Miss Emma S. Pendergraft, a daughter of Theodore T. and Mary Pendergraft, well known residents of this county. A year later the young couple located on a farm in Valley township, near Hepburn, where they resided continuously until last spring when they became residents of Clarinda. The writer having been well acquainted with our departed friend for fourteen years or more offers the following humble tribute to his memory: I think it was Shakespeare who wrote, "to be honest as this world goes, is to be a man picked out of two thousand." George W. McMichael was an honest man—honest with his God, with his fellowman, and honest with himself. As a husband, he was devoted and tender, and as a parent a perfect model. He was carefully economical but never miserly. His was really a generous nature. While firm in his convictions, he was charitable in his views. His sterling integrity and sound judgment made him an excellent man of whom to seek counsel. Radical on some questions, he certainly was, yet his views were judiciously tempered with conservatism. Possessing as he did, all those qualities which constitute a good neighbor, a faithful Christian and a loyal citizen, it is only natural his acquaintances should deeply deplore his loss and extend sincerest sympathy to the bereaved family and friends. Long will his memory remain green in the hearts of all who knew him well.
[Note: His headstone gives his birthdate as January 14, 1855.]

He was in the seventieth year of his age and leaves a widow and several sons, to mourn his loss. Rev. S. Taylor preached his funeral sermon last Tuesday afternoon to a large audience at Emporia. Father Merritt was born Fabius, Onedaga [Onondaga] Co., N. Y., July 9th, 1810. In 1846 he removed to Minnesota, where he remained twenty years. He has lived in our community for the last five years, universally loved and respected for his devoted piety, honesty and zeal in every cause of reform. The cause of temperance in his death loses its most zealous advocate and the church and Sabbath school a devoted laborer. On Wednesday morning his body was laid to rest in the Union Grove cemetery.

BLANCHARD, March 19, 1880 - Lewis H. [owell] Merritt, familiarly known as grandfather Merritt, died last Sabbath morning, March 14th, aged seventy years, ten months and five days.

On Wednesday of the week, he attended the funeral of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Susan Merritt, and up till Thursday evening he seemed to be in robust health, but that night he was taken with the disease which resulted in his death three days after. Thus suddenly death has stricken down an honored father, a good citizen, and a devoted Christian worker. We know of none in our community whose wise councils, devoted prayers and earnest exhortations, will be so much missed in the Sabbath School, at Church and in our reform meetings. His funeral sermon was preached Tuesday afternoon in the Emporia school house by Rev. S. Taylor, in the presence of a large audience and on Wednesday morning his body was interred in the Union Grove cemetery.

Dougherty, six miles east of the city by the overturning of a Ford car in which he was driving alone. The young man left home between seven and eight o'clock that evening to drive to J. W. Wilfong's at the time. On the way he passed William Lawson and apparently everything was all right with him. A few minutes later Lawson discovered the ruins of the car at the foot of the Dougherty hill and the body of the young man, the base of his skull crushed, one thigh broken and numerous cuts and bruises. He was unconscious and remained so until he died at four o'clock Saturday morning.

A. C. Morgan – Alphonso Carmen Morgan was born at Peoria, Illinois, August 3rd, 1837. Died at his home in Welsh, Louisiana, April 13th, 1922, at the age of eighty-four years, eight months and ten days. He was the son of Joshua and Elizabeth Morgan. His father was a native of Virginia, a lawyer by profession. When a young man he moved to Illinois and married Elizabeth Shoemaker. To them seven children were born. Deceased is survived by one brother, S. [pencer] D. [ouglas] Morgan, of College Springs, Iowa.
Mr. Morgan's parents moved to Dixon, Lee County, Ill., when he was two years old and there he grew to manhood. He received his education at Mt. Morris, Ill. He went to California during the gold fever and remained there until after the Civil War when he returned to Dixon, Ill. In 1873 he was united in marriage to Josephine Maryin. To this union five children were born. Two sons, Jerome and Claude, having passed on before, Claude having died at their home near Welsh, January 7, 1910. Those living at this time are Mrs. Zim Todd, of Welsh, Mrs. Claude Phillips of Jennings, and Edward C. Morgan of Lake Charles, Louisiana. The only two grandchildren are: Undine Todd and Katherine Morgan.
Soon after his marriage he was elected County Collector of Lee County, Illinois. Afterward he moved to Oregon, Holt County, Missouri, of which county he was recorder of Deeds from 1887 to 1891. In 1893, he, with his family, moved to Louisiana where he engaged in rice industry. About six years ago he sold his farm and bought a home in town into which he moved and has since resided.
Mr. Morgan was converted to Jesus Christ in early life and united with the Methodist Church in which church he lived a most consistent Christian life to the time of his death. His religion was not of a spectacular kind but of a beautiful, quiet, unassuming, yet rich and fruitful life. He was very regular in his devotions. His house was a house of prayer.  When he could no longer get on his knees for morning prayer, he would read some beautiful and appropriate prayer following the Scripture lesson. He enjoyed the church services and was one of the most reverent and attentive worships when there. He was a man of unusual health. Having lived a temperate, well ordered life, he was well preserved. Until within the last few months no one would have believed him so advanced in years as he was. He was quite active, always up and doing something, every jolly and good humored. He loved nature. Gave much time to planting and cultivating flowers and trees in his yard. He had some choice roses and young fruit trees which he took great pride in caring for and watching them grow.
He was very devoted to his family. His home life was very beautiful to those who knew him intimately. Not until about a year ago did he begin to show signs of failing strength. However, the last few months he grew quite feeble and eleven days before his death he took to his bed from which he could not recover. He was conscious almost to the last and knew his friends when they came in, always appreciating them. He seemed to know that he was going on and expressed a willingness and readiness for the journey. His wife and children and grandchildren were all with him the last few days of his illness and were in the home when the end came.
Funeral services were conducted from the Methodist Church Good Friday morning at ten o'clock, R. L. Weldon, the pastor in charge. The deceased being widely and favorably known, a large audience was present at the funeral. The church was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and plants, such as he loved. The pall bearers were: Messrs. E. C. Willard, G. E. Boling, F. E. Hurlbut, J. W. Narans, S. O. Scoggins, J. P. Campbell.
Interment was made in the Welsh Cemetery.
Servant of God, well done;
   "Thy Glorious warfare past.
"The battle fought, the victory
    Won
"And thou art crowned at last."

Elizabeth Shoemaker Morgan was born near Oxford, Ohio, Sept 20, 1815. Died at Seward, Nebraska, Oct 24, 1900, aged 85 years, 1 month and 4 days. In her girlhood she was converted and joined the M.E. church and lived a consistent Christian. Her membership was an honor to the church. She was willing to support it in every way until she was called from the church militant to the church triumphant. She moved with her parents when young to Ills, settling near Fremont. In 1834 she was united in marriage to Joshua Morgan. To the union was born 7 children, five boys and 2 girls, four of whom survive, 2 sons, Alponso [Alphonso] and Sidney, live near Jennings, La., Spencer near Shambaugh, and their sister Florence, wife of D. D. Remington, at Steward, Neb. One daughter died in infancy. Jerome died in the south in the service of his country in the civil war. Chas. died in Lakuaithen, [Lake Arthur] La, in 1895 [1894]. Grandma Morgan deserves great credit for her patriotism, as she sent four of her sons to defend and preserve her country and flag. Mr Morgan died in 1850 when the youngest child was but six months old, leaving the support and education of the family to the mother. She leaves four children, 17 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren to mourn her departure, besides a number of relatives and a host of friends behind. Her life will be an inspiration to all to meet her in the happy beyond. She died in the triumph of a living faith in her Savior. Rev Buckner was called to preach the funeral, as he was a special friend of Mr Morgan. Rev Ross of College Springs and Rev Smith also assisted in the services.
[Note: Her headstone gives her death date as October 20, 1900.]

Spencer D. Morgan – Spencer D. [ouglas] Morgan was born in Lee county, Illinois, November 22, 1843, being the son of Joshua and Elizabeth Morgan, natives of Ohio. Spencer was one of a family of seven children, all of whom have preceeded him except one brother who is living in Oregon. He was reared to farm life in his native state, receiving his early education in the common school. At the age of eighteen he enlisted in the 10th Illinois Vol. Inf., Co. G., serving three years. He took part in many hard fought battles, the most important of which were the siege of New Madrid, Iuka, Corinth, Missionary Ridge, Rocky Face Ridge, Kenesaw Mt., Atlanta and Jonesborough. After his service was ended, he returned home where his mother and sister were alone, three brothers having entered the service. He took charge of the farm and remained there until 1869, when he came to Iowa and purchased land in Page County. In August of 1871 he went to Princeton, Ill. and on the 18th day of that month was united in marriage with Miss Pluma Wood of that place. Immediately after his marriage, Mr. Morgan started with his bride for his Iowa home, located four miles east of Shambaugh. This they still own and here they lived until 1910 when he gave up active farm life and moved into College Springs to their present home. He was one of the early settlers of Page County and like all other pioneers had many hardships and drawbacks to meet. But these he always met bravely with the same courage and fortitude he showed in defending the flag.
On January 15, 1924, at 5:45 o'clock, at the age of eighty years, one month and twenty-three days, after an illness of four weeks, he passed to his reward, leaving a record of a long and useful life.
