As our beneficent Creator has taken from the walks of life one of our noble, brave and worthy young men, Mont WHITE, in the bloom of young manhood, with bright prospects and laudable ambition; and --Whereas, He being the only son of fond and loving parents, we deem it our duty and esteem it a great privilege, to express our sympathy in this sad bereaved. – Resolved, That in this death we have lost a true friend, the community a worthy citizen, the family a devoted child and the country one of her loyal sons. –2d. That the young men of this town attend the burial, in a body as a special tribute of respect to our deceased companion whose death we sorely regret. –3d. That we admire his courage in response to a call of his country to fight her battles in a foreign land, and in whose service his stout and manly form succumbed to disease that cost him his precious life. –4th. That these resolutions be published in our county papers and a copy of same be presented to the bereaved family. There was a brutal and cowardly assassination in Louisville last week. Without warning and while patrolling his beat, Corporal RICHTERKISSING was shot dead. A policeman named HANLON is charged with the crime, and there is but little doubt of his guilt. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Josh BEARD's near Eunice, died very suddenly last Saturday. It is supposed that it had swallowed some glass. Mr. Jas. A. Traylor, who spent the greater portion of his lile (sic) near Breeding, Adair County, died at his late home, near Hillsboro, Texas. Some years ago he was a member of the Adair County Court, being a magistrate from the Leatherwood district. MONT WHITE DEAD—Sick Almost Unto Death He Starts From San Francisco—Accompanied by His Father to Be With His Mother and Sister When the End Came—DIES WHILE IN ROUTE HOME— Two years ago the subject of this writing left his home in this place and located temporarily in Monticello. He had boen (sic) engaged in business but a short time in that place when a recruiting officer appeared upon the scene and Mont enlisted for the Phillippines, joining the 47th regiment United States Volunteers. In three months he was upon the Islands doing good service for his country. Letters came as often as transports would convey them, and in nearly every one up to last October he spoke of his good health and how well he was enjoying the life of a soldier. In December, if we remember correctly, the family received a letter stating that his health had somewhat broken down, and that he had been relieved from active service. His condition grew worse and subsequently he was transported to San Francisco for better treatment. Reaching that place letters continued to come, Mont claiming that he was improving and would soon be able to start home. He evidently had a flattering disease, one calculated to put death our of his mind. Ten days before he died a letter was written in which he stated his intentions upon reaching home. In the meantime his parents became uneasy and a message was sent to the hospital in San Francisco making inquiry as to his condition. The answer came "Mont WHITE very low." Another message was sent from here bringing about the same response. Upon receiving this last word the father of the young man left for San Francisco intending to bring his son home. He reached his destination, and upon the advice of physicians, in company with his boy, he left for Columbia. Mont stood the travel very well until they reached the State of Louisiana and when near Lafayette he grew rapidly worse and died in a few minutes. The sad intelligence was soon known here and all heads were bowed in sorrow. The body embalmed the father started homeward, the saddest journey of his life. The remains reached Columbia Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock and in one hour thereafter, upon the advice of a physician, were interred in the city cemetery. A very large crowd attended in a body, a just tribute to a young and popular citizen who succumbed to disease, terminating in death, while following the flag of his country. To the heartbroken parents and only sister this whole community tenders it profoundest sympathy. Resolutions upon this death, passed by the young men of Columbia, can be found upon our first page. Last Thursday, the 4th day of this mont (sic),was the 70th anniversary of Mr. John. N. MURRELL, one of Adair County's most respected citizens. His daughter, Mrs. C. S. HARRIS, spread an elegant dinner in honor of the event the immediate family being joined by Mr. MURRELL's brother, Mr. M. J. MURRELL, and his sister, Mrs. Kate SMITH, and his little great nephew, Master John M. VANCE. The day was happily spent in discussing events of long ago. It was at this home the two brothers and sister grew to manhood and womanhood together, and as they sat around the fireside, viewing the scenes about the premises, doubtless many incidents of their earlier lives were vividly pictured before them. The writer trust that many more years are in store for his friend and kinsman. Miss Mary ROSSWATER, of Harlan county, fell upon a pair of scissors and died as a result of the injury. George WEIDMAN, head of a large brewing company of that name at Newport, died as the result of an operation for appendicitis. Re. I. B. SAMS, a prominent minister of Powell county, was found dead at his home near Stanton. His death was caused by heart disease. At. Howardstown, Nelson county, Saturday night, Samuel CECIL, aged 19, shot and killed Anthony THOMAS, also aged 19. Both had been drinking. Theodore WAILERT was hanged at Henderson, Minn., for the murder of his wife and four stepchildren on the 21st of last August. Thos. NICHOLS, of Boyle county, dropped dead from heart disease, while returning from an entertainment. Lillie May PHELPS, a six-year-old daughter of T. C. PHELPS, of High Bridge, was run over by a wagon and fatally injured. Jacob Dearborn MARR, a farmer living near Clinton, Maine, killed his three children with an ax. He said he didn't know why he had killed them. Ben RICHARDS a Hardin county farmer, was killed by the falling of a limb. May COMSTOCK, a young music student, committed suicide at Chicago because she couldn't raise $7. ------------------------------ From: BeeeZeee@aol.com (Barbara Abate) Date: Wed, 11 Jun 1997 15:32:37 -0400 (EDT) Subject: KY-F: WILLS: Will abstracts, Ba-Be names - Hardin Co More will abstracts & inventories from Hardin Co., KY taken from _Abstract of Early Kentucky Wills & Inventories_ by J.
