Dr. S. [amuel] G. [ordon] Sams was born in Highland Co., Ohio, April 25th, 1854. He married Alice Hutchison Aug. 27, 1879 and the following year graduated from Cincinnati Medical College and moved to Jewel Co., Kansas, where he entered upon the practice of medicine. After 7 years residence in Kansas he moved to Hepburn, Iowa, where he resided until his death, with the exception of two years spent in Ohio. His last sickness was short but came after a long period of great suffering during which he prosecuted his medical practice with unabated energy, thus doubtless hastening the end which came Sept. 21, 1898.
Dr. Sams had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church from early manhood and at the time of his death held the positions of Sunday School Treasurer and Secretary of the board of trustees in the M. E. church of Hepburn. The funeral took place Sept. 22 at 11 a. m. the writer of this sketch preached from John 14, 1-4, these verses being a favorite scripture portion with the deceased. The remains were born to the Villisca cemetery where the I. O. O. F. of which he was a member, buried all that was mortal with the impressive ritual of their order.
The deceased was the youngest of a family of seven; four brothers and three sisters, all of whom survive him. Geo. W. Sams, living near Hepburn, was the only one at his brother's funeral; the others living in Ohio were not able to be present.
To these surviving members of the family and to the bereaved wife, thus left alone in the world, the hearts and sympathies of the entire community go out.    R. E. H.

He was born in Highland county, O, a graduate of Cincinnati Medical College and practiced medicine in Ohio, Kansas and Iowa.

HEPBURN – The illness of Dr. S.[amuel] G. [ordon] Sams of Hepburn, noticed in a recent issue of The Journal, resulted in his death on the 21st inst., at the age of 44 years 4 months and 27 days. Born at Hillsboro, O., he was educated in the common schools of that state; succeeded in preparing himself for entering medical college by the time he was 21.

A year later he moved to Jewell county, Kan., where he remained a number of years, coming to Hepburn in the spring of 1887, where, with the exception of two years, he remained until the time of his death. Three brothers and two sisters, now living in Ohio, and one brother, S. G. [George W.] Sams of Hepburn, survive him. The doctor had for several years suffered from the effect of a stroke of paralysis during his early life, still he was ambitious, gritty, industrious, a good business manager, a great student and a skillful physician. He belonged to the I. O. O. F. and was also a prominent Good Templar. He was a citizen which the community will miss sorely. He leaves a widow but no children to mourn his death.

Mrs. Cinda A. Saum, aged 78 years, 10 months and 1 day, died at her home in north Clarinda on last Sunday evening at 8:30 o'clock.

Clarinda, Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, October 6, 1899
Mrs. Cinda A. Saum – The death of Mrs. Cinda A. Saum occurred Sunday at her home in the northeastern part of this city. she was an unusually healthy woman until one year ago last July, when she began to complain of a lump or knot in her throat but it was not until last winter that her condition appeared to be serious. For a considerable time prior to her death she was unable to swallow solid food. Mrs. Saum had been a resident of Clarinda for twenty years, having moved here in 1879. She died in the seventy-eighth year of her age, having been born Nov. 29, 1821, at Homer, Licking county, O. Her maiden name was Bare. She was married at Homer, Feb. 2, 1842, to David M. Saum. After her marriage her home continued in Ohio until 1847 when she and her family moved to Davis county, Ia., where they lived on a farm as they had previously done in Ohio. The husband died June 20, 1875, and four years later Mrs. Saum came to this city, which was her home from that time until her death. Eleven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Saum, eight of whom survive, as follows: Lyman W., residing near Calhoun, Neb.; Byron L. at Laurenz, this state; Jacob V. at Bedford; Augustus B. Charles L., Horace Lincoln, Miss Lenora, and Mrs. Etta Van Sandt, in this city. Of the three deceased children Ida died in 1863, about 16 months old; Harvey, age about 3 years, about 45 years ago, and Minerva, wife of A. B. Elliott, at Red Oak, seven years ago. The aged mother was one of twelve children, and a brother, Jacob Bare, survives her, living at Ottumwa. He last visited his sister a few days before her death. He and the sons living in Nebraska and Laurenz (the two latter having also visited her a short time prior to her demise) were unable to be present at the funeral, on account of illness in their households. In Ohio, Mrs. Saum was a member of the New Light church and about 45 years ago, in Iowa, became a member of what was then called the Campbellite church, but which is now known as the Christian. Her children being Methodists, and she being much with them, in later life attended that church a good deal. The funeral was held at the home, Tuesday afternoon, and was largely attended by her old neighbors and friends, who highly esteemed her for her noble womanhood and good Christian example. The services were conducted by Rev. T. C. Smith, D. D., and Rev. E. E. Ilgenfritz. The choir was composed of Mrs. Claude Welch, Misses Cora Stottler, Myrtle Baker and Delia Osborn and Messrs. A. F. Galloway and C. L. Vance. The pall bearers were Messrs. J. H. Dunlap, S. E. Hall, I. N. McPherrin, G. L. Shaul, E. Beal and J. W. Fisher. Many beautiful floral offerings were given, including designs from the Eastern Star and P. E. O. societies.

Death of Mrs. Cinda Saum
The funeral of Mrs. Cinda Saum was held from the home in north Clarinda on last Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, conducted by Rev. Ilgen Fritz and Dr. Smith. Mrs. Saum's maiden name was Cinda Bare. She was born in Homer, Ohio, November 30, 1821. She was married to David Saum on February 2, 1841, at Homer, Ohio. To this union 11 children were born. Of these 8 still survive. Lyman lives at Ft. Calhoon, Nebraska, A. [ugustus] B. [are], H.[orace] L. [incoln], C. L., Lenora and Mrs. Etta VanSandt live in this city; Jake lives at Bedford, Byron at Lorenz, Iowa. Mrs. Eliot died some years ago and Harvey and Ida died in infancy.
In 1874 she moved with her husband to Davis county, Iowa, where they resided until 1875 when her husband died. Late in 1879 she came to Clarinda where she has since made her home. In early life she became a member of the Christian church, of which she was a faithful member until death. During her last sickness, which was many months, she was never heard to murmur but bore her suffering with a patience that was more than remarkable. She was ready to go, only waiting for her Master's call, to pass to that heavenly home, a "house not built with hands, eternal in the heavens." – Clarinda Herald

Deceased – Miss Linda Sebolt, who has been lying ill with spinal meningitis at the state hospital for over eight weeks, died yesterday afternoon at three o'clock. Her body was taken to her home at Coin this morning and funeral services will be held there today. None of her family, except her sister, Miss Bessie, who has been filling her place as attendant for some time, was with her at her death as she has been lingering so low for so many days that it could not be told when the end was near. The mother and brother came up on the train last night, however. The death of Miss Sebolt is a peculiarly sad one. A young woman cut down suddenly in sickness and death, during the very time that she was to realize the fruits of her work for months past and during the very years that she would enjoy life the most and be the most useful to the world. She had been studying to graduate from the Hospital School for Trained Nurses and during her sickness the graduating exercises were held. Her classmates received their diplomas with honor, but she lay on her sick bed, unconscious of what was transpiring. Her name appeared on the programs with the rest but she herself could not be present. And had she recovered, she might have been weakened mentally as the treacherous meningitis often leaves its victims in that condition. So it seems almost a mercy that she was taken. Her sorrowing relatives and friends have the sincere sympathy of this community in their grief.

[SEBOLT, LINDA]

Miss Linda Sebolt – The death of Miss Linda Sebolt, an employe of The Hospital for the Insane at Clarinda, occurred Monday afternoon at that institution, where she had been ill from brain fever for about two months. Her remains were taken Tuesday morning to Coin, her home, where the funeral and interment took place. The hospital people cared for her during her illness in the kindest manner, feeling a double interest in her as both friend and patient, and her demise casts a gloom over the building and causes sadness wherever she was known. Her friends at the hospital, who loved and respected her in life, paid tender tribute to her memory after her death in the ways usual with sympathetic humanity at such a time. Included in their remembrances were choice flowers obtained from Council Bluffs. Three ladies from the hospital represented her mourning associates at the funeral at Coin. Miss Sebolt was a very bright lady and an excellent popular employe of the hospital. Her fatal illness was upon her last month when the remainder of her class graduated one evening from the hospital training school for nurses. At that time the chair on the Amusement hall stage she would have occupied had she been able, was there—the only one vacant—her absence the single unpleasant feature of the evening's entertainment. The honor paid her by the vacant chair and the deposit upon it of her diploma as a trained nurse graduate, which she had fairly earned, while seeming so entirely fitting and kindly, was at the same time a sad reminder and must have occasioned generally in the minds of those who beheld them apprehension of the approaching departure of which they would not speak. Looking backward, the significance of that vacant chair seems to have stood in the relation of a prophecy of irreparable loss, a forceful reminder of the approach of death.

COIN – It becomes the sad duty of your correspondent from this place this week to give brief mention of the death of Miss Linda Sebolt, which occurred at Clarinda last Monday afternoon at about 3 o'clock. None of her near relatives being present at her bedside but her sister, Miss Bessie, who has been there constantly for about four weeks. The body was brought to her home Tuesday morning and the funeral was held at the Methodist Episcopal church Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. Rev. D. Shenton preached a very impressive sermon to a large audience. The casket was covered with the most beautiful flowers, the offerings of friends, of which Linda had a great many here and at Clarinda, where she had been employed for the last two years.
Four of the lady attendants and nurses of The Hospital for the Insane at Clarinda came down from there to attend the funeral of Miss Linda Sebolt. Miss Graham, the day nurse of Miss Linda, spent the week at the home of Mrs. Sebolt.

Deceased. – Mr. Abraham Shallenberger died at his home east of the square on Monday morning, Aug. 21, at 12:40 o'clock, aged 85 years, 5 months and 18 days. Funeral services will be held at the residence on Main street at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, conducted by Rev. D. O. Stuart, assisted by Rev. Will O. Hutchings.
Abraham Shallenberger was born March 3, 1814, in Stark county, Ohio. Moved with his family to Wabash county, Indiana, 1839, where lived until 1870. He was engaged in farming, stock raising and mercantile business. In 1870 he moved, with his family, to Nevada City, Nevada county, California, where he engaged in mining and moved from there to Paola, Kansas, in 1874. He moved from there to Page county, Iowa, in June of 1882 and with his family has resided here since that date.
Mr. Shallenberger has been married twice, first in 1838, to Miss Rebecca Signs, in Stark county, Ohio. To this union there were born five children: Martha Ann, Mary Ellen and Benton Kendall (twins), Elsie Jane and Sarah Katherine. Three of them still survive him. His son Benton served in the 70th Indiana Vol. Reg., for four years.
Mr. Shallenberger's second marriage occurred in 1855 in Wabash county, Ind., to Miss Louisa Musselman. To this union there were born three children: Charles W., Lodelia and May, now Mrs. Wm. Ward of Clarinda, Iowa. Three of the children were present at his death: Mrs. Jane Thompson of Red Oak, Iowa, Mrs. Lodelia Horning of Oxford, Iowa and Mrs. May Ward of this city.
On the 10th day of August 1899, Mr. Shallenberger was prostrated with heat while sitting in the door yard reading, was assisted to the house by Wm. Ward and went to bed. He continued to grow worse until death came to his relief on August 21st at 12:40 o'clock. His old age and feebleness were easily overcome by heat.
In early life Mr. Shallenberger was a strong, hearty man. Physically he had few equals. He was naturally pleasant to meet, a genial, kind, friend and one who loved righteousness and eschewed evil; one whose strong right hand was ever extended toward his fellow man when in need or trouble, and ever ready to assist. He was a man of strong convictions politically, religiously and otherwise, but ever ready to be right upon all questions whatever. A strong enthusiastic republican, a self made man, a great reader, having a retentive memory, a wide experience; he was one who, whatsoever his hand found to do, did it with his might. Ever doing unto others as he would have them do to him, his death is widely mourned by those to whom he was known.

A. Shelanberger – Abraham Shelanberger died at his home on Main street, Monday, Aug. 21, at 12:40 a. m., aged 85 years 5 months and 18 days. His death occurred from the effects of heat prostration which occurred the 10th inst. while seated in the yard at his home.
Mr. Shelanberger was born in Stark county, Ohio, March 3, 1814. He was married in 1838 to Miss Rebecca Signs in Stark county and a year after they moved to Wabash county, Indiana.

During Mr. Shelanberger's residence in this city he had won the friendship and respect of all who knew him, which included nearly every man, woman and child in Clarinda. He always had a kind word for everybody and his hospitality was extended to all alike. He was honest, upright and loyal to his fellowman, kind of heart and ever willing to do what was right. Although in his old age his body was feeble his mind was strong and memory remarkable. He would sit for hours in conversation and recall incidents of the long ago and discuss problems of the present day; every ready to tender good advice to the young men and to alleviate the sufferings and wants of the ill and needy.
The funeral services were held at the family residence Tuesday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. D. O. Stuart, assisted by Rev. Will O. Hutchings.

[SHARP, THOMAS LORING]
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, December 15, 1899
A remarkable and sad coincidence occurred within the last week in this city. It will be remembered that Miss Carrie Sharp took Miss Clara Burleson's place as teacher at No. 5, Valley township, when the latter received the sad news last week that her father was dead. Miss Sharp has been teaching since last Thursday and yesterday, just one week from the day Miss Burleson received the terrible news concerning her father, Miss Sharp was notified at her school house that her own father, T. [homas] L. [oring] Sharp, was dying at Maitland, Mo. Her brother Clyde carried the news and they returned to town immediately to leave for Maitland this morning. Last night, however, they heard that their father had died at ten o'clock. His wife, who had been visiting with her mother, Mrs. G. W. Burns of this city, left yesterday morning for his bedside and was with him in his last moments. Epilepsy was the cause of his death. The stroke seized him on Wednesday, as he was painting a house in the country, eight miles from Maitland. Miss Carrie and her brother Clyde left this morning for Maitland and the body of their father will be brought here and interred tomorrow with services by Dr. T. C. Smith. Mr. Sharp was here only last Saturday, to visit his wife and children over Sunday. He left for Maitland on Monday morning, feeling in his usual health. His death is one of the saddest we have ever known.

The sad news comes from College Springs that Mrs. Shenton, wife of the M. E. pastor there, died suddenly last Wednesday, after only a short illness from a cold. She was aged probably sixty years. The saddest part of her death is the fact that her children and grandchildren were gathering for their first reunion in twenty years and would have celebrated it at the home of the parents on Christmas day. Some of them had already arrived, when her sudden death cast a pall over the rejoicings and changed their merriment into the deepest grief.

COIN – Died: -- At her home in College Springs, Iowa, Wednesday, December 20, 1899, of heart trouble, Mrs. Shenton, wife of Rev. D. [avid] Shenton.
As the news of the death of Mrs. Shenton went from mouth to mouth in our community it brought sadness to the heart as we thought of the sorrow in the home from which mother and wife had been taken. As is often the case the value of life is being measured and weighed at its close and as a part of the life of this sister was spent among us it has left these admonitions – not in word but in deeds. Be faithful, be charitable, be diligent in home duties and this community offers its sympathy to the members of the home that has lost so true a helper.

Many Highland Friends Attend Ward A. Stewart Funeral
HIGHLAND, Jan. 18. – A large company of friends from all over the San Bernardino valley gathered at the Mark B. Shaw memorial chapel this afternoon to say farewell to a beloved citizen, the late Ward A. Stewart. While Mr. Stewart had been residing with a daughter in San Bernardino for some time, his friends here were legion and he even maintained his church affiliation in Highland and was claimed yet as a Highlander, having resided here for more than 20 years in the little community which he greatly loved. Having been a splendid father to the little family which grew up here, he impressed friends and neighbors with his estimable qualities which will long be remembered.
The tribute today to Ward A. Stewart was one of sincerity and admiration and the gorgeous flowers of approaching springtime were tokens of affection and sympathy. His pastor, the Rev. Harold V. Hartshorn, of the Highland Congregational church was in charge of the service.
He was assisted by the Rev. Fred White, pastor of the First Baptist church of Corona, who was a near friend of the deceased. The Rev. Mr. White spoke from a text taken from "The Song of Solomon."
Beautiful music was furnished by the Ewing trio, favorite numbers played being "Abide with Me," "Silver Threads Among the Gold," "Nearer My God to Thee" and that great masterpiece, Handel's "Largo," as friends took a last look upon the kindly face. Pallbearers were J. M. Spaulding, A. J. Garner, R. C. Crawford, C. M. Hill, W. V. Garner and C. C. Emmerton. Interment was in Mountain View cemetery.

Mr. Stone's sick boy, Ross, died Aug. 8 at 5 p. m. This was the singular case spoken of in these columns a few days ago. An autopsy was held over the remains on the 9th. The following Doctors were in council: Dr. A. T. Large, of Braddyville, Dr. Killingsworth of Clarinda and a student of Clarinda, Dr. J. B. Crain of Braddyville. The following decision was reached, that the first diagnosis over the case was correct. A tumor of the Sarcoma variety, very aggravating in its growth, adhering to the entrails, bladder and kidneys, and at no time would an operation [have] been advisable or relieved the patient. It was one of those sad cases that baffle all science, and nothing left but to wait until the grim messenger makes his unwelcome call. The remains were conveyed to Maitland, Mo., on the morning train of the tenth accompanied by the family and sympathizing friends. His remains were laid beside two children lost before, in that beautiful home prepared for the dead.

Mrs. Mary Ellen Findley Thompson was born in Jackson county, Ind., Oct. 3rd, 1823 and died Jan. 16th, 1899, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Geo. W. Howard, near Villisca, Ia., where she has been a helpless invalid for the past two years and a great sufferer for many years previous. She was united in marriage to Mr. Thomas Thompson in 1842, with whom she lived until his death, May 8, 1887.
They removed to Adams county, Ia., in 1853. Ten children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy. The living ones are the following: Mrs. Eliza Damewood, Shenandoah, Ia., John Thompson, Maryville, Mo., Scott Thompson, Guss, Ia., Mrs. Bell Stafford and Mrs. Ada Shell, Wilcox, Mo., Thomas Thompson, Guthrie, Okla., Mrs. Ella Plank, Louisville, Ky. and Mrs. G. W. Howard. Mother Thompson was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for about forty years, a faithful and consistent Christian, so say those who knew her best. Forget not God's truth, "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him."
To the many kind friends who rendered assistance in this hour of affliction Mr. and Mrs. Howard are appreciatingly thankful. M. K. Hollister, Pastor.

Mary E. Thompson, nee Mary E. [llen] Findley, was born Oct 3, 1822, and died 16 Jan 1899, hence she was 76 years, 3 months and 14 days.
She was married Oct 7, 1843, to Thomas Thompson, in Jackson County, Indiana. This union was blessed with ten children. Of these, two died in infancy. Eight still survive. Six of the children were present at the funeral, namely, Mrs. Dannewood [Damewood], of Shenandoah, Iowa, Mrs. Scott Thompson, and Mrs. Howard, of Villisca, Iowa; John Thompson, Mrs. Stafford and Mrs. Shell, of Wilcox. Two living absent, named Thomas Thompson, of Guthrie, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Plank, of Louisville, Kentucky. She professed religion and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church about forty years ago of which she has been a consistent member ever since. She has been a widow for ten years, her husband having died April 8, 1888.
It was not my privilege to know Sister Thompson, but her long and consistent Christian life assures us of her preparation for death and her happy admission to the City of God.
Her funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Rev. H. C. Bolen, at Wesley Chapel, after which her remains were laid away in the Kain [Cain] Cemetery to await the resurrection of the dead. May the Good Father so overrule this affliction that it will prove a great blessing to all relatives, is my earnest desire.    J. W. Owen

John James Truesdall, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Truesdall, died very suddenly at the home of his parents in northeast Clarinda, on last Wednesday morning at 8:30 o'clock. The boy would have been seventeen years old next Monday had he lived. He had been sick for about ten days, with a touch of fever bordering on typhoid, but nothing serious was feared and his death was a very unexpected blow to the loving parents. The father had gone to work in the morning, after the boy had gotten up and eaten a fairly hearty breakfast. At eight o'clock no one was in the house except the mother, a daughter and the boy. John had arisen from his bed and in a moment his mother heard him fall. She rushed into the room and found him lying on the floor, unconscious. With stimulants she revived him, but he lived for only a few moments, passing away with his head lying in her lap, just as she had picked him up. He was perfectly conscious to the last and told his mother that he was dying and that all that could have been done had been done for him. The father was sent for but arrived too late to see his son alive. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to this bereaved family that is so suddenly deprived of one of its members. The young man is spoken of in the highest terms by all who knew him. Funeral services will be held in the Christian church where he was an attendant at Sunday School, at two o'clock this afternoon, conducted by Dr. T. C. Smith.
