He was taken to the house of Mr. Mahon, where he soon after died, the medical aid procured proving ineffectual. The name of the deceased has since been learned to be David Keller, residing near Sigel, and about 65 years old. The Effingham Democrat, Thursday, January 28, 1875 There is only one thing which has apparently been wanting to render Mr. Hodebeck's happiness complete. This want no longer exists, for after six consecutive feminine arrivals at his house, the monotony of the thing is at last broken, and the seventh-Oh happy event!-is a boy!!! Now let Lee, Tom, Joe and Max cheer up, for after such manifestations of heavenly blessings, surely there is yet hope even for them. Tally another for Bent Rinehart, it's a boy too. Good enough. Dave Loy says he has taken in a new boarder for 21 years. It weighed as much as Dave could stand. The Effingham Democrat, Thursday, February 2, 1875 Little Annie, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bradsby, of whose illness mention was made in the Democrat last week, died last Monday forenoon.

There has been considerable sickness and some deaths in our town and vicinity within the last week. E. S. Duckworth, who lived north of town two or three miles, died on Friday night last of lung fever. Mr. Duckworth was an honest, industrious, good citizen, and had the good will of his neighbors.

Mr. M. Rodenbaugh, residing near town, lost his wife, a very estimable lady, on Thursday, 4th inst. Mrs. Redenbaugh has had very poor health for several years. The immediate cause of her death was pneumonia. She gave birth to twins about a year ago, which were still born. They are a great curiosity - Drs. P.G. and J.C. Paugh preserved them in alcohol. They are something after the style of the Siamese twins, being joined together by a cautilage face to face, and are both perfectly formed. Any person visiting Dr. Paugh's office to see the twins, will be amply repaid for their trouble. O.N. Tyner photographed them and got some very good pictures. The Effingham Democrat, Thursday, February 18, 1875 Deaths - There are several late deaths reported in various parts of the county. Mr. P. C. Hankins, of Summit township, we regret to learn, has recently lost two grown sons, in quick succession - the sickness in both cases being pneumonia. The loss of two grown sons is an affliction of which the painfulness can only be realized by parents whose sad lot it has been to suffer similar bereavements. Mr. and Mrs. Hankins have the sincere condolence of a large circle of empathizing friends in their painful loss. Death of an Old Citizen. To the number of deaths elsewhere reported in this number, it becomes our sad duty to add that of Levi Rentfrow, who died at his residence in Summit township, on the 13th inst., after but a few days' sickness, of pneumonia, aged 65 years. The deceased was one of the pioneer settlers of his township, and was well known throughout the county, and universally esteemed as a worthy citizen and a kind and obliging neighbor. He has held various township offices at different periods of his life, and at the last fall election was almost unanimously elected Coroner. He leaves several grown sons, but no wife, to mourn his demise. Another Pioneer Gone. One by one the old "landmarks" disappear. It was but last Friday afternoon, when John Herman Weresing, of St. Francis township, peacefully, resigned and well prepared, departed this life, in the ripe old age of 71 years. The deceased was one of the earliest settlers of the Teutopolis German settlement, and during his life time one of its most worthy and highly esteemed members. In view of his scrupulously pious and exemplary life, his obsequies, on Monday morning, were conducted with unusual solemnity at the Teutopolis Catholic church, and was largely attended by, relatives and members of the third order of St. Francis, from Effingham, R.I.P.

Owen T. Merry, Jr., was bound over last night in the bonds of matrimony, during life. That indomitable John Smith to-night, ditto. The Effingham Democrat, Thursday, March 4, 1875 And still another. On Wednesday, Feb. 24th, U.C. Webb died at his residence after a long and painful illness, of typhoid pneumonia. It was only a few weeks ago when the painful record of the death of Levi Rentfrow had to be made, and now the death angel has again passed over the land and taken another prominent citizen. Mr. Webb came in this county in 1840 with Newton Tarrant, and has lived here ever since. His life was characterized by that simplicity and honesty which makes a man esteemed by his neighbors. He in this time had drawn around him a large circle of friends who never knew him but to respect him. He leaves a wife and several children, some of whom are grown up, to mourn his loss. His funeral took place on the 25th, from Ebenezer church. Rev. T. M. Griffith conducted the services at the church, after which the large congregation proceeded to the cemetery, about half a mile away. The burial services were conducted by the Masonic fraternity, of which he was an esteemed member. Although the weather was exceedingly inclement, yet a very large procession followed him to his last resting place, showing that they respected the memory of one who always stood ready to do his duty. After a painful and long protracted illness, Mrs. Jesse Bartlet died last Sunday evening. Mr. Bartlet being a fireman, the Deluge Company appropriated twenty dollars to defray burial expenses. Little Otto, a bright three-year-old son of Mr. H. Todt, died last Saturday morning of typhoid pneumonia. It is but seven months since Mr. Todt suffered a similar loss in the death of an infant son. Mysteriously Disappeared. Dr. Goodell left home on Sunday morning, 28th ult., in a sleigh, ostensibly to see Dr. Becker, who lives at Oblong, in Crawford county, expecting to return the next day about noon. Failing to return home as promised, and in the meantime the streams being much swollen in consequence of the rapid thaw, it was thought that his delay was simply caused by the unfordable condition of the Embarrass river. When, however, last Monday he had not yet returned, nor anything been ascertained in reply to inquiries made as to his fate or whereabouts, two men, Metcalf and Barcus, started in pursuit of him. At this writing (Wednesday morning) the men have not yet returned and much uneasiness is felt on account of the Doctor's mysterious disappearance. To his devoted mother, especially, the suspense is painful beyond expression, and the intensity of this suspense is augmented every hour that fails to bring tidings of her dutiful son, and consequently intensifies her apprehensions as to his safety or fate. We trust no harm has befallen the doctor, yet his ominous disappearance can hardly be reconciled upon any other hypothesis. The Marriage of Miss Laura Kagey to Mr. Alvin B. Judkins. We were among the participants on the evening of the 23d inst., on a most enjoyable occasion, vis: the wedding of Laura, oldest daughter of two of our well known townspeople - Mr. and Mrs. B. F.

Nathaniel Armstrong, who was born in the State of Tennessee, in the year 1780, Feb. 14th, died at the residence of Simon Rudner, on the 24th inst. Mr. Armstrong participated in the battle of New Orleans under General Jackson; and had just celebrated the anniversary of his ninety-fifth birthday a few days previous to his death. He was quite spry for a man of his great age, and up to the time of his last illness walked to town and about the farm quite often. It was Mr. Armstrong's dying request that he be buried with military honors, which was done. Lieut. M.B. Redding selected eight veteran soldiers of the late war, who with arms reversed, and preceded by the Mason Cornet Band playing a dirge, escorted the honored remains to their last resting place, when after a salute was fired by the military they were interred. Mr. Armstrong was probably the last survivor in this county of the war of 1812. He was a member of a Tennessee regiment during that war, and was getting a pension from the government, which was about all the income he had. The Effingham Democrat, Thursday, March 11, 1875 Dr. Goodell, of whose delayed absence mention was made in the Democrat last week, has since returned safe and sound.

To Mr. Anthony Grant, an old and well known citizen. He, as it appears, was riding on the S&I SERW track on his way home. It being too dark to see any distance ahead, his horse, as it seems, came to a stop a short distance from town. Mr. G., probably not thinking that there was any danger ahead, forced his horse to move onward, when it suddenly fell in a bridge, throwing Mr. G. over its head. It appears while he fell he must have turned a summersault, as the back part of his head struck the end of a tie, which crushed the skull. One of his legs was also broken, and dislocated. Dr. Groves & Rice attended him. He died on the 26th about 1 o'clock P.M. and was conveyed to his last resting place the following day. Resolutions of Respect.

The Effingham Democrat, Thursday, May 20, 1875 A Joyful and Notable Occasion. A weeding is, or ought to be, a joyful occasion, to the parties wedded, for they have reached the summit of their desires; to the relatives because they gain a new member to their circle; to friends, acquaintances and outsiders, because they should rejoice in the happiness of others. From all appearances the weddings at the Catholic Church on Tuesday, May 18th, were two in which, those immediately concerned, as well as those who had but comparatively little interest, took general satisfaction. Miss Rosa Zank and Mr. Joseph Ostendorff, Miss Biddy Wade and Mr. Henry Fisher, were joined in the holy state of matrimony by the Rt. Rev. Mr. Weis.

(A lengthy article follows). The Effingham Democrat, Thursday, December 2, 1875 Died-At her residence in this city, on Saturday evening, Nov. 27, 1875, Mrs. Catharine S., wife of L.W. Thompson, aged 65 years. The relation to and position which the deceased occupied in society and the hearts of her friends, seem to call for a brief outline of her history, and to that end we give the following: Catharine S. Whiting was born in what is now Page county, Va., on Christmas day 1809; her ancestry being among the earliest settlers of Virginia. The old homestead, known as "Net Prospect," is now over a hundred years old, occupied and still in a good state of preservation. On August 13, 1833, she became the wife of Lionel W. Thompson, also of old Virginian descent, and late in the same fall they started by carriage for what was then the far West, and after journeying six weeks halted at Liberty, Union county, Indiana, where they began their pioneer life. From this time up to 1850 they lived at several different points in Indiana, at which time they moved to Jasper county, in that State, and entering a quantity of wild land, proceeded to develop the same into what fifteen years later was a fine grazing and stock farm, and beautiful house. In the fall of 1864, a break having been made in the family by the removal of a married son and daughter to this place, and the desire to keep the family together being very strong, they were induced to dispose of their property and follow their children. As illustrative of this desire, it is interesting to note that from time down and for many years previous, the family had never failed to gather under the paternal roof to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of both father and mother, until last year when it was prevented by the serious illness of the mother. During these years they were blessed with eight children-five sons and three daughters. Three sons and one daughter only were spared to grow to manhood and womanhood, the other four dying in infancy. For the past eleven years the entire family have been residents of this place, the children all being married but one, and the grandchildren numbering thirteen, all of whom are living except one. During this time the departed had by her quick, unassuming Christian walk, generous open hearted cheerful disposition and sympathetic nature, drawn around and bound to herself an unusually large circle of friends who united in bearing testimony to her many virtues and graces, and who feel that in her life was exhibited a character well worthy of imitation, and her death has left a void that will not soon be filled. Her character shone most brightly in her home, both as a true and loving wife and noble, self-sacrificing and devoted mother, and it is here that her loss is the most irreparable, and deeply felt. Yet notwithstanding all this they have reason to be thankful and rejoice; the husband, that for nearly forty years he has been blessed with such a companion and counseller along the journey of life; and the children, that they have been reared to manhood and womanhood to become honored and respected in society through the teachings and example of such a mother. Thus, after a life rich with good works and unswerving devotion to duty, "her mission is finished, her life's labor ended," and trusting firmly in the merits of Jesus as her savior, she has been called home to enjoy that everlasting rest which remaineth for the people of God. Profiting by her example, let us cherish her memory and imitate her virtues. The Effingham Democrat, Thursday, December 23, 1875 Altamont. Married-on the 16th inst., Mr. Henry Ewing to Miss C. Phifer.
