Services Today For Mrs. M. M. Johnson
Funeral services are being conducted this afternoon from the family home for Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, a pioneer resident of this community, who passed away Tuesday morning at an advanced age and following a long illness. The Johnsons came to Nebraska and Clay Center in July of 1894 in a covered wagon. They founded the M. M. Johnson Company, which has been operated by the son and daughter, Miss Oatie and Harry H. [anson], her only survivors since the father's death in 1912. Mrs. Johnson was the last member of the Ellis family and Clay Center had been her home since that early day arrival and though her husband has been gone for thirty-five years, she has enjoyed associations here with her large circle of friends and acquaintances. She was content to stay at home where she was interested in her flowers and family. The service will be conducted by Rev. Nye O. Bond, the pastor of the Union church, and interment will be made in the Clay Center cemetery. Out of respect to the memory of Mrs. Johnson, business houses of the community will be closed during the service.

Charlotte D. Johnson – Mrs. Charlotte Deborah Johnson, daughter of David and Letitia Ellis, was born February 13, 1855, in Kittanning, Penn., and died at her home in Clay Center, Nebraska on December 17, 1946, at the age of 91 years, 10 months and 4 days.
Mrs. Johnson's life was one of many varied experiences. She maintained a cheerful, patient disposition at all times, although she faced many disappointments and bereavements.
When only a young girl, Mrs. Johnson moved with her parents to Burlington, Iowa, and later settled near Dawn, Missouri, near what is now Chillicothe, Missouri. Her late childhood was spent at this early pioneer home.
The family moved to Sheridan, Missouri, a few years later and it was here that Charlotte Deborah Ellis became united in marriage to Menander Mott Johnson on June 28, 1874. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson: Harry and Oatie, who are living in Clay Center, Nebraska; Margaret, who died when she was sixteen, Cora, who lived only nine months; and another daughter died at birth.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson set up housekeeping on a farm near Lenox and Corning, Iowa. Their first years were marked with crop failure and disappointments. Mr. Johnson became a coal miner at Carbon, Iowa to earn support for his family. Because of ill health which later came to Mr. Johnson, the family was forced to move west where they could live in the high altitude of Silver Plume, Colorado. While they were in Colorado, one daughter died at birth and was buried high above the valley among the great pines which covered the mountains.
Returning health of Mr. Johnson and better financial position of the family, together with the need of getting the children in school, brought the family back again to Missouri, where they settled on a little farm. It was here in 1889, that Mr. Johnson first got the Incubator idea but the first attempt was a failure.
The family again moved to the Joplin Missouri mines, but they found conditions difficult here. After more sickness visited the family, opportunity for employment came from Clay Center, Nebraska where the Orr Bros. Mill was beginning operation. The family moved by wagon across Kansas, and it was enroute to Clay Center that Margaret, a sixteen year old daughter, died.
Mrs. Johnson and her husband were of the pioneering spirit. She was saddened at the early departure from this lie of her husband when he died 35 years ago in Clay Center.
In her late years, Mrs. Johnson suffered the loss of her eyesight and partial deafness, but she took these handicaps as a matter of aging years without complaint.
She has led a peaceful and retiring life, always maintaining her sunny disposition and enjoying the neighborliness of the community wherever she lived.

Death Calls M. M. Johnson World Famous Incubator Man.
M. M. Johnson, of Clay Center, Nebr., the world's greatest incubator manufacturer, died at 9 o'clock Monday morning at Idaho Spring, Colorado where he had been sojourning for his health.
Death resulted from pulmonary trouble, which had been gradually undermining his health for a year or more. Last summer he sought relief in the mild climate of California and four months ago he went to Idaho Springs in the hope that the higher altitude would restore him sufficiently to enable him to carry on the extensive manufacturing campaign he had outlined for this year.
The news of his death came as a great shock to the people of Clay Center and this section of the state for there had been no intimation that his condition was critical. The only information of the demise was given in a brief message from Mrs. Johnson to their son, Harry, at Clay Center, merely telling of his death and asking him to come to Idaho Springs at once.
Harry Johnson left on Burlington train No. 3 from Hastings, Monday night.
Although the death of Mr. Johnson takes from the Old Trusty incubator enterprise its founder and guiding genius it is believed that the son, Harry, will successfully carry on the business so well established by his father. The son has been the active manager for about a year and has shown himself to be possessed of many of the qualities that distinguished M. M. Johnson as the greatest man in his chosen line of enterprise in the world.
Sixty-five cents was the sum of M. M. Johnson's fortune when he and his wife, son and daughter, arrived in Clay Center some fifteen years ago. He was employed for some time as engineer in Orr Bros. flour mill and while thus engaged invented the Sure Hatch incubator, which he afterwards manufactured on an extensive scale. He later invented the Old Trusty, for the making of which he erected a new factory. This second enterprise grew more rapidly than the first and each year since its beginning has brought a large increase in its output.
In his autobiography, entitled "the Ups and Downs of an Inventor," published in the Old Trusty catalogue, Mr. Johnson wrote that the refusal of his employers in his early days at Clay Center to grant him a 10-cent raise in pay was responsible for his engaging in the incubator business.
From his very meager beginning Mr. Johnson rose to a position of wealth and large influence. He made his name and his incubator known in every civilized nation, yet in his last catalogue sketch of his own career he wrote characteristically:
"My wife and I work just the same as always. We get our pleasure out of the growth of the business and the friends we are making. We could not appreciate and enjoy these things unless we did work."
The immense business done by the Old Trusty factory has caused the Clay Center post office to take rank as the greatest second class post office for a town of Clay Center's size in the country.
Although Clay Center has a population of only 1, 065 according to the 1910 census, the receipts of the post office there last year were over $32,000, as compared with $37, 500 for the Hastings post office.
Notwithstanding his great success Mr. Johnson remained thoroughly plebian and perhaps the greatest luxuries he ever permitted himself to enjoy were automobiling and an occasion trip to points of interest in this country.
Said one person who worked for several years in a confidential capacity for Mr. Johnson:
"He treated everybody alike and always had a friendly word for everybody. He personally aided the incompetent and the inexperienced and I never heard him speak unkindly of anybody. If a man cheated Mr. Johnson in a business transaction he never complained and he never tried to get revenge. He loved work and even after his business was thoroughly established he appeared to get as much satisfaction in handling heavy boxes and working with his mechanics as in doing office work amid comfortable surroundings."
The homely language used by Mr. Johnson in his autobiography gives an excellent idea of Mr. Johnson's rugged character.
"At the age of 21 went into partnership with a farmer's daughter and together we started out for better or worse," he wrote.
He tried farming, then coal mining and later became a Burlington locomotive engineer. Ill luck overtook him and he settled on a farm in Missouri.
"One day after taking a basket of eggs and a crate of chickens to market for my wife it occurred to me that the chicken business was first cousin to gold and silver mining," is his account of his vision of the business which became his life work.
He tried chicken raising on a large scale but gave it up to accept the place of engineer in the mill at Clay Center, established by men he had known at Sheridan, Mo.
With his family Johnson started in a covered wagon for Clay Center. At Pleasanton, Kansas one of his daughters died.
"We finally reached Clay Center with 65 cents. It is ups and downs that I am writing about. This time it was down. All told we were worse off than nothing, in as much as we owed doctor's bills here and at Pleasanton.
"The $ l.50 a day I received was slow recuperating, I tell you. One day I told the boss if he could stand a ten cent raise in my wages, I could stand it. Still more, I could make a double effort to earn it but times were hard for millers and I had no sooner asked for the raise than I was ashamed for approaching him.
"If I was asked today what really instigated my incubator manufacturing my mind would revert to the ten cents per day advance in my wages. I feel sure now that had the ten cents advance been granted that I would be an engineer now.
"If I unloaded my ambition to the boss and he thought well of it. Go ahead, Johnson, make incubators in the boiler house, so long as we have steam to keep the wheels running, we will be satisfied." The Orr brothers have been my staunch friends to this day."
The Sure Hatch enterprise was sold, afterwards removed to Fremont and later abandoned. Mr. Johnson remained in Clay Center, invented the Old Trusty and organized a new company.
"Although my margin of profit has been small, averaging less than $1 on each incubator, I have accumulated," wrote Mr. Johnson in his autobiography. "What I have made in the business has gone to improve the business. Have the largest incubator and brooder factory in the world, have my own working capital and the best commercial rating in the business. "In 1909 the factory turned out over 73, 000 incubators and brooders'. Last year the output was nearly 100, 000.
Mr. Johnson is survived by his wife, son Harry, and daughter, who is unmarried and lives in Clay Center.

Two children remain to comfort the wife and mother, Mr. Harry H.[anson] and Miss Oatie. Mr. Johnson was a member of the Odd Fellows, the K. P. and Woodmen lodges.

Life of Man Who Died Here Wednesday
Thomas Marshel [Marshall] Jones who passed to his well earned reward on Wednesday at 5 p. m. was born in Ohio on May 8th, 1835. He moved to Ottumwa, Ia., with his parents when a boy of fourteen years. In 1865 he was united in marriage to Nancy Alcott to which union was born two children, Harry W. Jones of Rapid City and Mrs. Lena Jones Brown of Salt Lake City, Utah.
In his early life chose the profession of agriculture and followed this occupation while living in Iowa. Some nineteen years ago he came to Rapid City where he engaged in the grocery business with his son, Harry W., and is well known to Rapid City people as an honest and reliable businessman. Of late years Mr. Jones with his devoted wife, have been spending the winters in California. They came east a little over a year ago and have been in Rapid City until now. Mr. and Mrs. Jones liked California and had their loved ones been near, doubtless would have been content to close their earthly career amidst its sunshine and flowers. Their loved ones, however, impelled them to come back to enjoy their presence and blessing until called to their heavenly home.
Mr. Jones in early life united with the Baptist church in which church he has been a deacon for over forty years. When he came to Rapid City he at once united with the Baptist church where he has faithfully served in the office of deacon until the time of his death. Of late years his age kept him from active service, but the church elected him honorary deacon. When it was at all possible for him to be present he always remembered the church in his prayers and interest and could be counted upon to do what he could to advance his Master's kingdom.
Mr. Jones does not leave behind him a vast fortune in the world's goods; he has no great political record, but he has left behind him a monument which time will not wear out in that he maintained implicit faith and trust in God and no one can point to his life and find things to be ashamed of. His was an ideal Christian life. What he did he did quietly and in the fear of God not letting his right hand know what his left hand did.
The town has lost a loving and respected citizen, the church a loyal and devoted member and officer and family a Christ-like, devoted, loved one. Characteristic of his quiet and self-sacrificing life, he left a special request that no flowers be sent to his funeral, saying money used in this way could do a much needed good used in relief of sufferers, so friends will please comply with his request in this matter.
On account of the uncertain arrival of Mrs. Brown from Salt Lake City made indefinite by railroad uncertainties, the date of the funeral has not been set as yet. This will be announced later. –Rapid City Journal, Rapid City, South Dakota, Friday, December 14, 1917.
Funeral services were held Sunday December 16.
Mr. Jones was a former resident of Taylor county for a number of years. He and his family left Bedford about 19 years ago. Mr. Jones improved the farm where W. C. Gilleland now lives.

Mr. Kirby's Funeral Held This Morning
The funeral of L. F. Kirby was held from the home on Yuba street this morning in charge of Rev. Mr. Thompson of the Christian church. The music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. Z. H. Held, Mrs. John Read and W. T. Meairs. Mr. Thompson delivered a splendid funeral address. The interment was in Graceland cemetery. Mr. Kirby was born in Iowa 58 years ago and has lived in Burlington about 11 years. He is survived by his wife and 6 children, Mrs. Josie Jeffery of Burlington; Sherman Kirby, Independence, John Kirby of Burlington and Ruby and Mary who live at home and May Kirby of Norfolk, Ark. All were present for the funeral except Miss May. Mr. Kirby was accidentally killed at Parsons as will be seen by the following from the Parsons Daily Sun:
L. F. Kirby, bridge carpenter for the Katy under Forman F. M. Ruble was instantly killed this morning about 8 o'clock in the local yards. The accident occurred just north of the Main street crossing. Kirby was walking south on the main line track and had crossed over to another track to avoid the Katy Flyer that was coming in, when a switch engine going south struck him. Kirby was carrying a box of tools on his shoulder which obstructed his view of the switch engine and the warning yelled by a fellow workman was too late. His left arm was completely severed near the wrist and his head badly crushed by the running board of the engine. He died instantly, near the place of the accident.

Lester Kirby is Killed By Train
Full particulars of the death of Lester Kirbey, who was killed at Parsons, Kansas, are now obtainable and the foregoing taken from the Parson Sun gives full information about his death. Mr. Kerby was a son-in-law of Mrs. J. B. Clevinger and a brother-in-law of Mrs. Levi Taylor and Mrs. Wesley Crow:
this morning about 8 o'clock in the local yards. The accident occurred just north of the Main street crossing. Kirby was walking south on the main line track and had crossed over to another track to avoid the Katy Flyer that was coming in, when a switch engine going south struck him. Kirby was carrying a box of tools on his shoulder which obstructed his view of the switch engine and the warning yelled by a fellow workman was too late. His left arm was completely severed near the wrist and his head badly crushed by the running board of the engine. He died instantly, near the place of the accident. The body was taken to the warehouse of Ellis & Martin on Main street and later removed to the funeral establishment. Mr. Kirby has worked for the Katy at different times for a number of years and is well known by the railroad men. He was about 58 years old and was in good health at the time of the accident.

St. Joe Officer Meets Death by Engine
J. H. Killion Was Nephew of Jess and Wm. Killion
The following account taken from the St. Joseph News-Press will be of interest to many of our readers, the deceased being a nephew of Jesse and William Killion and well known here.
Officer Meets Death
J. [oseph] H. Killion, thirty-nine years old, a police patrolman, was crushed to death, presumably by a switch engine at the Burlington crossing at Fifth and Hickory streets early this morning. His mangled body was found beside the tracks at 2 o'clock by James Prinzon, a switchman, and was yet warm.
Killion patrolled a district including that part of the city lying south and west of Eight and Monterey streets, extending to the river and the viaduct. He rang into the Central station from the signal box at fourth and Maple streets, 1:35 o'clock, the regular time for reporting. That is but a few blocks from the scene of his death.
Killion was appointed to the police force April 13, last, for a probationary period of one year. He came to St. Joseph from Maryville, Mo., three years ago, and had served as a police officer. His home prior to removal to Maryville, was at Croline, Texas.
The dead officer is survived by his wife and six children, all of whom live at the family home, 916 South Eighteenth street. The children are Wate [Wade], eighteen years old; Florence, seventeen; Lucy, fourteen; Thelma, eleven; Woodrow, five; and Mary Jane, seven months.
The body was sent to Sidenfaden's undertaking establishment by order of Coroner Thomas and will be taken to Mound City, Mo., tomorrow for burial there Saturday.
Chief of Police Moore said today that considering the time he had been on the police force, Killion was as good a patrolman as he had ever known. He was sober and industrious and always attended to his duties, the chief said.

Sarah A. McAlpin – Sarah A. East was born in Indiana February 17, 1832; died February 14, 1917, aged 84 years, 11 months, 27 days. She came west from Indiana with her parents in 1842. After a short residence in Missouri, where her mother died, she came with her father into Iowa, settling first in Davis and Decatur counties, finally coming to Hawleyville in 1854.
She was married to Stephen E. McAlpin at Hawleyville, January 4, 1856. The wedding was solemnized in the old log cabin which still stands, in its decrepitude, on the bank of the river close to the mill-site of the old Hawleyville mill, which was at that time owned by her father, Thomas East. Immediately after her marriage she moved to the government claim which her young husband had pre-empted and which later he developed into the farm on which she still resided at the time of her death, she having lived on this same farm for 61 years, sharing it with her husband for 57 years of that time, he having passed on four years before.
She was the mother of eight children. Two died in infancy. Three sons and two daughters survive her: A. W. McAlpin of Hepburn; Albert, Erastus, Mrs. Phebe J. Wells, and Mrs. Minnie Bentley, all of Hawleyville and Mrs. Ida M. Guild of St. Louis.
Mrs. McAlpin, together with her husband, was closely identified with the pioneer life of which she was a part. She lived to see Iowa develop from the era of the ox-cart and the prairie schooner to that of the automobile and the flying machine, with all that development suggests of human progress.
The funeral services were held at the residence at 2 p. m. Friday, February 16, conducted by Rev. O. E. Douglas of New Market. Music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Richard Owen, Mrs. John Gillet and Bessie and Fred Malburg.

Committed Deed with Revolver in Home of Brother at Creston, Iowa
M. [elanthorn] T.[weed] McKee, formerly a railroad dispatcher and agent at Conway and Kent, committed suicide on Friday at the home of his brother, H. C. McKee, in Creston, Iowa, by shooting himself in the back of the head with a .32 caliber revolver.
He had resided with his brother for the past few years and relatives say that brooding over living away from his wife and ill health was the cause of his committing suicide. He had been despondent for some time and the night before made an attempt upon his life by shutting himself in a room and turning on the gas. He was discovered a few minutes later by his brother in the gas filled room and was removed before the gas had time to take effect. He made the remark before retiring for the night that he would find some way of ending his life and about 4:30 o'clock the next morning the family was awakened by a shot. They at once hurried to his room and found him dead, he having shot himself in the back of the head just behind the right ear with a revolver. He was fully dressed and had fired the shot while sitting on the edge of the bed.
Mr. McKee was born in Ohio in 1854 and was 63 years old. For the past two or three years he conducted a little grocery store in Creston. He was a well educated man, having taught school for a number of years. Later he was employed by the railroad as dispatcher and agent at Conway and Kent. He was a member of the Conway lodge, A. F. & A. M., and also a member of the Methodist church at Kent. He was a very kind and well liked man and one who was always fond of his home.

Farmer a Suicide.
Presumption Is That Nicholas W. Moser, Whose Body Was Found in Platte River, Committed Suicide.
The body of Nicholas W. [infield] Moser, thirty-six years old, a farmer, was discovered Saturday morning in Platte River, a mile south of Garrettsburg bridge, with a gunshot wound in his head, which caused his death. On a log was found the dead man's hat and the gun was fished out of the river. Coroner Thomas conducted an inquest over the body at Garrettsburg Saturday afternoon. The body was found by Albert Bassington, who was Moser's neighbor, near the bank of the river at a point where the water was five feet deep.
The dead man was unmarried and lived with his brother, A. E. Moser, one mile west of Garrettsburg. He left home a week ago, presumably to come to St. Joseph and nothing had been heard from him. His relatives know of nothing that might have prompted him to take his own life, they say. His father, Frederick Moser, and two other brothers, W. F. and F. E. Moser, live at Palm Beach, Fla., and there are three sisters, Miss May Moser, Garrettsburg, Miss Evalina Moser, Seattle, Wash., and Mrs. J. R. Allen, Gower. The funeral was conducted yesterday afternoon at A. E. Moser's home and burial was in Ebenezer Cemetery.

[MOSLEY, OLIVE JANE LOWE]
Bedford Times-Republican (Bedford, Iowa), Thursday, September 28, 1916
Olive Moseley – To have lived more than ninety-one years, the greater part of these years in Page county, is a record rarely attained. Yet that is the record attained by Mrs. Olive Moseley who on Wednesday morning passed to the better land at her residence in Clarinda, two blocks west of the post office building, where for several years this old lady has been living quietly, waiting for the end. For nearly a year past she has been quite feeble, her son, A. J. Moseley, having come here to live, to be near his mother in her declining days. The day before she finally passed away, a niece, Mrs. Lottie Cloud from Bedford, also came to comfort and assist.
Olive J. [ane] Moseley was born in Washington county, Kentucky, April 22nd, 1825. She first came here in 1841 but after two years residence returned again to their Kentucky home. In 1853, after the death of her husband, she again came to Page county, settling in Hawleyville, which then gave promise of being the largest settlement in these parts. She lived there until 1862, when she moved to Bedford, living there four years, then to Kansas City for a number of years, until ten years ago, when she returned to Clarinda and has spent her declining days here.
Two sons survive her, Sam M. [artin] Moseley and A. [lonzo] J. Moseley, besides a number of nephews and nieces. A sister is also living, Mrs. Elizabeth Brent [Bent], who is two years younger, being nearly ninety years of age.
The funeral was held this Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence, being conducted by Rev. Robert C. Snodgrass, the Christian minister, whose father was an old settler and lifelong friend of the deceased. The remains were laid to rest in Clarinda cemetery.
Before leaving this world for the Better Land, Mrs. Moseley said to her son who was attending her in her last illness that she was ready to go, having made everything right with her Lord; and she left directions as to the disposition of her effects, which directions are being carried out.
Among other effects is a memorandum giving details as to early times in Page county which may form a fitting article for the Page County Historical society to keep always. We doubt if there is another person living who saw this county seventy-five years ago. – Clarinda Herald.
