POISONED IN KANSAS CITY:
Raymond Feese Doped and Robbed. Dies at Hospital.   Remains Are Brought to Clarinda.
Residents of Clarinda   and the northern part of Page county were shocked Saturday to receive a telegram from the General Hospital of Kansas City saying that Raymond Feese was there, dangerously ill. His brother, Willis Feese, who lives near  Villlisca,   took   the Sunday morning train south,   but arrived too late, as Raymond  had died Saturday evening.
It seems that information is meager as to the cause for his death. Raymond had left two weeks previous for Kansas City and was living at 1516 Locust st. Two days after his arrival he came to the General Hospital, of his own accord, sick and with his gums bleeding badly, asking them to cure him. The story he told the hospital authorities is the only information available that, in a saloon near Locust and 16th St., he had met two men who called each other "Tom'' and "Dick," who invited him to go fishing to the Blue River.
He had $16 with him at the time. Arriving at the supposed fishing grounds, the strangers got him to drink liquor which was doped. Then they took away his money, and, left him there sick and helpless. He managed to get back to the city hospital, which he entered alone. The physicians tried to check the hemorrhage of his gums, but were unsuccessful, and telegraphed Saturday to his brother-in-law at Clarinda, Charles Frey, as Raymond requested them to do.
Dr. R. B. Castelaw, head of the Kansas City hospital staff, said a positive diagonsis could not be made, but that the bleeding probably was caused by bi-chloride of mercury poisoning, administered in the drinks at the river bank. The Kansas City police have special detectives on the case, but have very slight clues to work on and it is doubtful whether the case could be proven if they should catch their men.
Raymond Feese was well known in Clarinda, having lived here many years, and has relatives in Page county, including two brothers, Willis Feese near Villisca and Clifford Feese, Hepburn, and two sisters, Mrs. Chas. Frey, Clarinda, and Mrs. Cade Day, Hepburn, also a brother in Colorado and a sister in Kansas. Among his cousins living here are Mrs. Nettie Brooks, from whose home the funeral was held Tuesday, Mrs. John Walker, Mrs. T. B. Phillips, M. E. Feese, the mail carrier, and Mrs. A. P. Skeed of Sterling, Kans., now visiting the M. E. Feese home. The remains were taken for interment to the Pollock Cemeteriy near North Page.
Raymond was unfortunate in not being a strong-minded boy, and this made it easy for the Kansas City thugs to impose on him. He was nearly 27 years of age. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 8, 1913

Obituary of Mrs. Emma Truscott Feltch
From Hamilton Farmer's Advocate. Hamiliton, Mo., March 28, 1914.
Mrs. Emma T. Feltch died at her home in Hamilton at an early hour last Friday morning, having suffered a stroke of paralysis on the Tuesday previous. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by pastor, Rev. E. C. Morgan, assisted by Rev. J. B. Crouch, pastor of the Baptist church. The interment was in Highland cemetery. Mr. Feltch died August 1, 1908. Mrs. Feltch is survived by three children, Roscoe T. Feitch, Miss Ella Feltch, and Mrs. Stephen McLain. She also leaves a sister in Seattle, Wash., and a brother in Princeton, Mont.
Mrs. Emma T. Feltch was born in Birmingham, VanBuren county, la., January 24, 1845 and died at her home in Hamilton, Mo., March 20, 1914, aged 69 years, 1 month and 24 days.
Mrs. Feltch was of English parentage. At the age of sixteen she united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church under the preaching of Peter Cartwright. She was studious by nature and began teaching at the age of 18 and taught and attended school principally in Page county, Iowa, until her marriage to Charles W. Feitch.,November 10, 1868.
Together they united with the M. E. church of College Springs, Iowa, where they were active members and remained faithful to that church until their death. They came to Hamilton from Clarinda, la, eleven years ago. Only their close friends knew the depth of their devotion to each other, their home and familv and their God.
Mr. Feltch died August 1, 1908. Mrs. Feltch has been an invalid since that time and the large correspondence she has had, attests the love and respect of a great host of relatives and friends who have done much to brighten the lonely years of her comparative helplessness.
The last time she signed her full name was to a check for her church dues. The last call she made was at the door of her pastor's home in her wheel chair a week before her death, where she chatted a few moments. While unable to attend public services much, Mrs. Feltch was interested in everything pertaining to public welfare, and always ready to welcome her friends.

The child Ferrier had been in the Home since January 6th and the promise of a sweet life was dear to the parents. Internal trouble resulted and the life slipped away like the dropping of the leaf before the autumn season.

The community was saddened yesterday to learn of the death of Mrs. Chas. A. Ferris, at her home in North Clarinda, from typhoid fever. The dread disease, which has been afflicting so many in Clarinda lately, secured her for its first victim,her life going out at a little before half past one o'clock yesterday afternoon, after an illness of ten days. While her death was sudden, in a sense, she and her husband feared when she was taken sick that she would never get up. She has always been in good health, but the dread thyphoid was too much of a drain on her strength. Funeral services will be held at the home tomorrow at one o'clock, conducted by Rev. Cabbage, of Shambaugh, assisted by Rev. IlgenFritz. Interment will take place at the Norwich cemetery.
Mrs. Ferris' maiden name was Columbia King. She was born to Mr. and Mrs. James K. King, near Connelsville, Pa, on August 28, 1858. When but a girl she removed with her parents to Illinois, and later came to Iowa, in 1869, the family living on the old farm near Norwich. There it was that Columbia met Charles A. Ferris, to whom she was married on February 25, 1875. No children have been born to them, but they have raised two adopted daughters, Araminta and Stella, the daughters of L. M. Ferris, who is a brother of Charles and whose wife was also a sister of Mrs. Chas. Ferris. The mother of the girls died when they were quite young, and they have always made their home with their uncle and aunt. Besides the husband and the two girls, Mrs. Ferris leaves a mother and father and six brothers, and sisters to mourn her loss. They are:—Mrs. Shaw, of near Shenandoah, Minnie, who is still at the old home, Jordan, at home, George, of near Norwich, Porte H., of Shenandoah, and Austin, living near home. Besides these there are many other relatives, with friends and acquaintances, who mourn Mrs. Ferris' death as that of a good woman who has gone to her heavenly reward. Mrs. Ferris was a member of the Church of God for thirty or more years, and was always a faithful and earnest Christian, raising her children and setting them an example such as a true mother should. It is a misfortune to the whole community that such a woman should be taken, but such losses must come and must be borne.

The stricken husband and family desire to thank the many kind friends and neighbors who gave them assistance and sympathy in their sorrow. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 24, 1900

ANOTHER PIONEER CITIZEN .        GONE TO BETTER LAND.

George H. Ferris passed to the better land Tuesday afternoon, December 12th, at his home, 217 W. Lincoln St., in Clarinda. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon, from the Methodist church, of which for so many years Mr. Ferris had been a devoted and useful member, services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. Abram S. Woodard. The funeral cortege then went in autos to Baker cemetery near Norwich, which was close to the home where Mr. Ferris and his family lived for so many years after coming to this vicinity forty-six years ago.
Of friends he had legion, of enemies none, could be said of our departed townsman, as truly as of any man we have known.
George H. Ferris was born in New York State Sept. 22nd, 1835. His father was a shoemaker, who when the son was three years of age came to Henry county, Ill., from there to Moline, and back again to Henry county. George was the eldest of seven children. When the Civil War broke out, Mr. Ferris enlisted in Co. D., 112th Inf. Vol., and took part in many engagements, being wounded at the battle of Lost Mountain in June, 1864, when he spent 4 months in an army hospital at Kingston, Ga. He was given an honorable discharge and came home to Illinois. He was married Jan. 12th, 1860, in Illinois to Miss Hattie Piper, the capable and loving helpmate of all these years, who still survives him, as do three sons and two daughters, Henry A. Ferris of near Paola, Kans., Fred Ferris of St. Joe, Melchoir Ferris of Clarinda, and Mrs. Eva Baker and Mrs. Ethel King of Tarkio township near Norwich. It was in 1870 that Mr. and Mrs. Ferris came to Page county, settling on a farm near Norwich, where Mr. Ferris proved very successful at farming, gaining the competence which enabled him to retire and come to Clarinda to live, about nineteen years ago. Here he has been a most useful member of society, being active in Grand Army circles, as a member of Warren Post, and also active as an active worker and an official of the First Methodist church of Clarinda. Besides the immediate members of his family, Mr. Ferris leaves a brother, Charles Ferris, of Clarinda, and two sisters, Mrs. Jennie Payton of Clarinda, and Mrs. Hannah Kinsey of St. Joseph, besides a host of very good friends and admirers who have looked to "Uncle George" Ferris as a model of servicable Christian life and useful citizenship.
The funeral services Thrusday afternoon at the Methodist church were attended by many of the friends of our departed townsman, gathered to pay their last mark of respect to his memory. The Methodist choir sang "Lead Kindly Light," one of his favorite hymns. Following the address by the pastor, Rev. A. S. Woodard, about thirty old soldiers held their ritualistic service, this being held in the church instead of at the grave because of the cold weather outside. John F. Jones, John Miller, T. F. Willis, Henry Loranz and D. C. Reynolds were the comrades taking part. The pallbearers were S. M. Mosely, H. F. Hitchcock, J. N. Fleming, Jesse N. Hughes, George Fisher and George Standage.

The following was read by Henry Loranz, a member of Warren Post, by whom it had been composed:    "The   march of Comrade Ferris is over.   He was chairman of the Soldiers' Monument association, member of the Soldiers' Relief commission, a number of times commander of the post and chaplain at the time of his death.   In every place he did his duty, .especially when the old soldier or his family was sick or in need, none of us equalled   him.   And   what greater encomium can I give him than to say that a   good    man   has   gone    from us? The body was taken to the Baker ceme­tery in Tarkio township, near Norwich, for interment.   The late Mr. Ferris was born in Pennyan, Yates county, N. Y., Sept. 22, 1835.   When he was but three years of age the family moved to Athens county, O., where they resided for fourteen years.

Ferris and Mrs. Jennie Payton of Clarinda and Mrs. Hannah Kinsey of Bixby, Okla.   Mr. Ferris enlisted in Company D, One Hundred and Twelfth Illinois  Volunteer infantry and saw three years of service in the Civil war in that regiment. He was in many engagements   and was   finally severely wounded in June of 1864.   He was taken to a hospital at Kingston, Ga., and was there for four and one-half months. He was honorably discharged at Greensborough,  N.  C, and returned  to   Henry county, Ill., where he lived until 1870. In that year the family moved to Tarkio township,   Page county,   where they resided  until  1897,  when  they moved to Clarinda.   They have made their home in Clarinda since that time, having lived in their present home    on    West Lincoln avenue since 1901, although Mr. and Mrs. Ferris were the only occupants of the home in recent years, the children having married and located elsewhere.   The late Mr. Ferris was a member of Warren post, No. 11, G. A. R., and was actively interested in all its affairs and in all those in which the soldiers of the Civil war were concerned.   He held practically every office within the gift of Warren post.   He was president of the day at the Memorial exercises in Clarinda on the last two occasions.    During the last week of the past August he attended the national G. A. R. encampment at Kansas City, Mo., and was  one  of  those  in the line of march.    Since the age of seventeen he had  been  a  member  of  the Methodist Episcopal church.   Since coming to Clarinda, he had been active in all the affairs of the Methodist Episcopal church in Clarinda.   He was a member of the official board, was one of the most faithful in attendance at all the services of the church, and was known as one of the grand old men   of   that   church.   His numerous friends sorrow at his passing from this life and sympathize with the mourning relatives, but the sorrow is mellowed by the knowledge of his fine Christian life and character, and all feel that whatever may be the reward and joys of the great beyond a full share in them will belong to George H. Ferris.   The five living children of the late Mr. Ferris were all able to be present at the funeral.   H. A. Ferris of Paola, Kan., was accompanied by his wife, and the Bohrer and King families from Tarkio township were all present with the exception of Earl King, who is attending school at Lincoln, Nebr.
