The Liberty Tribune 1873
DEATHS IN THE LIBERTY TRIBUNE, CLAY COUNTY, MISSOURI

The following death notices appeared in The Liberty Tribune, Liberty, Clay 
County, Missouri during the year of 1873.  Some the deaths did not occur in 
Clay County.  The date of publication is shown prior to the item(s).

Jan 3, 1873:
Hon. S.C. Collier, of Fredericktown, Mo., died on the 22d inst., and was buried 
with Masonic honors.  The deceased was an eminent lawyer and orator in 
Southeast Missouri.

Jan 10, 1873:
The Tomb of Elder A.H.F. Payne.
A writer in the Plattsburg Register in writing of a visit to the cemetery in 
that place, says:
We paused beside the grave of the once great and good man, Augustus H.F. 
Payne.  We knew his remains were resting there, from an inscription on a 
monument of rare architectural beauty, erected to perpetuate his memory.  Our 
thoughts naturally reverted to the murder of this innocent man, whose 
intellectual powers were of the loftiest order, by a band of ignorant butchers, 
and blood-thirsty villains.
“Blood though it sleeps a time, yet never dies,
The God’s on murderers fix revengeful eyes.”
His son, who was accidentally killed a few months ago, sleeps beside him. A 
singular, but touching inscription is written upon his tombstone.”
“He was the youngest of our flock of seven.
He was our pride and hope.  The last to clasp
our father’s hand upon earth, the first to greet
him on the shores of eternity.”

Jan 17, 1873:
Mrs. Susan Cummins, a venerable lady of 74 years of age, and for 35 years a 
resident of St. Charles, died in that city on the 1st inst.  She was a member 
of the Presbyterian church, and a woman of active usefulness.

Randolph county lost one of her oldest and best citizens in the death of 
Valentine Mayo, which took place on the 2d inst.  He was 85 years old, a native 
of Virginia, had served in the war of 1812 and in the Seminole war in Florida, 
and had lived in Missouri nearly 48 years.

Jan 24, 1873:
Death of a Venerable Lady.
On Wednesday morning last Miss Margaret Simms, died at her residence in this 
county, at the advanced age of about 80 years.  She was a native of Virginia, 
but had been a citizen of Clay county for over 40 years.  She was strictly an 
old time lady, and delighted in rehearsing the early incidents of this 
country.  She was possessed of far more than ordinary intelligence, and a 
devout member of the Old Baptist Church.  She died regretted by all who enjoyed 
her acquaintance.

Another Good Citizen Gone.
Died in Plattsburg, on the 12th inst., after a short illness, Mr. David T. 
Dunkin, aged 64 years.  Mr. D. had been a citizen of Clay county for 30 years 
or more, and in all the relations of life bore an unsullied character, and his 
death will be mourned by all who knew him.  He leaves a wife and several 
children to mourn his loss.
Mr. David T. Duncan, and aged gentleman residing in Kearney, Clay county, Mo., 
came to our city on Friday evening the 10th inst., having business with Prof. 
McKinnis of the college; stopped with him; during the night he was taken 
violently ill.  Dr. Green was sent for, Dr. Moore his partner came, and 
administered, yet the man continued to suffer.  On Saturday morning a telegram 
was dispatched for his wife and son-in-law Dr. Porterfield of Kearney.  They 
arrived Saturday night. On Sunday morning Dr. Jordan was called in; but the 
destroyer, raging like a furious storm, baffling all the summoned skill, cut 
down his victim.  Mr. Duncan, having lived in Clay for years, being an active 
business man, and an upright Christian, had made many friends; this will be 
sorrowful news to them.  The body was taken to Kearney, for interment. –

Jan 31, 1873:
In Memoriam.
Died – On Jan. 22d, 1873, at her residence near liberty, Mo., Miss Margaret 
Simms, in the 81st year of her age.
The deceased, daughter of the late Richard Simms, was born in Stafford county, 
Va., but has been for 44 years a resident of Clay co.  Her physical 
constitution has ever been delicate, but this has given her greater 
opportunities for storing her mind with knowledge.  Her much reading and acute 
memory rendered her very interesting in conversation, and even up to her last 
sickness, her large black eyes, “those windows of the soul,” would sparkle with 
intelligence beaming from within, - but intelligence was not all.  At a very 
early age she realized that, “The fear of the Lord is true wisdom,” and united 
with the Church (Regular Baptist) at “The Crossings” in Scott co., Ky.  At the 
time of her death she was a member of the Liberty Church, Clay co., Mo.  She 
was much beloved by the members of her church, and much respected for her 
Christian character by all who knew her.  She seemed to be always near the foot 
of the cross, and ever ready to speak a word for Him who died for all.  Many a 
person, both young and old, can remember some kind injunction or blessing 
uttered by her “though she has ceased from her labors” and “entered that rest 
that remaineth to the people of God,” yet “her works do follow her.”  For 
several years she has been on the watch for the coming of death, so He found 
her – not asleep, but with her lamp trimmed and burning.
Through her last painful illness she bore all her sufferings with patience, and 
would often say “He doeth all things well,” and the brief prayer whispered a 
few minutes before the last, told that she died in the full assurance of faith 
triumphant.  Many friends, with the aged brothers and sister left behind, mourn 
her loss, but – 
“Why do we mourn departing friends,
Or shake at death’s alarm?
‘Tis but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to His arms.”                      A.R. 

Death of Thos. Sublette.
Mr. Thos. Sublette, for many years an honored citizen of Liberty, died at his 
residence in Versailles, Ky., on the 12th of January, 1873, in the 61st year of 
his age.  He leaves numerous relatives and friends in Missouri and Kentucky who 
will lament his loss.  He leaves a wife (sister of Dr. Morton) and several 
children.  The Versailles paper says of the deceased:
For a man of his physical defection, he being the major part of his life 
exceedingly frail, he possessed an amount of energy and untiring devotion to 
duty, relating to both temporal and spiritual things, evidenced by few.  It was 
not his lick to amass a fortune in the perishable things of time, but he built 
for himself a Christian’s fame which will endure and shine when temporal things 
are gone.  He was content with such blessing as it pleased his God to bestow 
upon him, and constantly gave thanks for His bounty and goodness.  The 
community at large will miss him, but not to the extent of those who were in 
daily communion with him.  That vacant pew at the Sanctuary, and that vacant 
chair at the family hearth-stone will call up sad remembrances of him who but 
recently occupied them.  His genial smiles will no more greet us in this world 
and his words of affection will no more be heard.  He is gone, we hope and 
believe, to a home where decrepitude and physical sorrow is unknown, there to 
bask in the sunlight of his Redeemer through all Eternity.

Feb 7, 1873:
Thos. Corbett, aged 19, a workman on the new iron bridge at St. Joe, fell from 
the top of one of the spans, killing him instantly.  

Obituary.
Died, in Platte county, Mo., on the 26th Dec., 1872, Sarah E. Pendleton, wife 
of David E. Pendleton.
Mrs. Pendleton was the daughter of John L. Duncan.  She was born in Sumner 
county, Tennessee on the 16th day of September, 1850.  She made a confession of 
the religion of Christ in the summer of 1871, and was baptized by Elder G.B. 
Waller – and was married by same to David E. Pendleton on the 15th of February, 
1872.
Her funeral was preached by Elder Waller at Mt. Pleasant Church.  She left a 
kind and affectionate husband to mourn her loss; also a kind father and mother, 
and many fond and loving friends.  “But we should not mourn as those that have 
no hope.”  For it is written “blessed are they that die in the Lord;”  “yea 
sayest the spirit they rest from their labors and their works do follow the.”  
Eld. G.B. Waller.

Feb 14, 1873:
Col. E.M. McGee, an old and prominent citizen of Kansas City, died on Sunday 
last aged 54 years.

Mr. Milton Johnson, a highly respected citizen, and formerly of Clinton county, 
died at his residence near this city on the 10th inst., aged 65 years.

Mrs. John J. Crittenden.
We announce this morning the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Crittenden, the widow of 
the late Senator Crittenden of Kentucky and sister of Capt. O.P. Moss, of 
Liberty, Mo.  Among the distinguished women who have adorned American society, 
Mrs. Crittenden has for forty years occupied the very first rank; and has been 
as well known and as much admired and beloved in New York and Washington City, 
as in this, the home of her early adoption.  She first married in 1823 Dr. 
Daniel P. Wilcox, a cultivated and successful physician residing in Columbia, 
Mo., who died in 1831, a member of the state legislature.  In the fall of 1833 
she married Gen. Wm. H. Ashley, the sole representative of the state in the 
United States house of representatives.  Gen. Ashley was distinguished for 
ability, enterprise, manliness and true dignity of character; his name is so 
thoroughly associated with the early history of Missouri, and the Far West, 
from his connection with the America Fur company, that it is only necessary to 
mention it to recall the high position he occupied until his death, which 
occurred in 1838.
The subject of this notice, both as the wife and widow of Gen. Ashley, 
attracted the admiration and love of all classes of Washington society, then 
representing the highest type of our social life.  The Washington debutantes of 
that period, now the elegant matrons of almost every state, still revere the 
memory of one who was then in the plenitude of her grace, beauty and 
loveliness.  As eminent as she was for personal attractions and mental 
endowments, her exquisite tact and kindness of heart endeared her to all who 
came within their magnetic influences.  She has never been known to speak 
unkindly to or of any person.  In 1853 Mrs. Ashley married Mr. Crittenden, then 
attorney-general of the United States under Mr. Fillmore, and continued to 
attend her husband during his services in congress, almost without 
intermission, until his death in 1863.
During the early period of the war, her signal discretion, excellent judgment 
and kind motives made her the ornament, as she was the pride, of his public 
career during the most anxious and responsible period of his long public life.

Feb. 28, 1873:
Mr. Wiley G. Searcy, for over thirty years a citizen of Clay county, died at 
his residence near this city on the 24th inst., aged 76 years.  He was a plain 
old fashioned gentleman, honest and good in all the walks of life.  May he 
sleep in peace.

From Platte Township.  Smithville
Mr. Miller: - Your paper has contained nothing in regard to the unusual amount 
of sickness we have had in this community since Christmas.  Among the deaths 
are Mrs. G.W. Secton and Mrs. John Graham from fever; George Tentzo, John 
Stepp, Jethro Muncy, Jas. Tasley, and Mrs. Thos. H. Todhunter, have died from 
various diseased – all grown persons- while we have had the spinal meningetus 
with our children, and many deaths have resulted.  Jos. Hooker lost a son; John 
Brasfield two sons; John R. Swan son and daughter; Jeff. Breckinridge a son; 
S.S. Ingraham a son, Mr. Skaggs two children; Mr. Carty a child; Mr. Gosney a 
child, and Hiram Mathes two children and other.
Platte Township.

Mar 7, 1873:
Died, in Clay county on Feb. 16th, 1873, Mrs. Martha A. Thomasson, wife of W.P. 
Thomason, and daughter of Samuel J. Brooks, in the 20th year of her age.

Death of Capt. James H. Gant.
Another of our most venerable citizens has gone from us to return no more.  
Capt. James H. Gant died at his residence near this city on the 4th inst., 
beloved and honored by all who knew him.  He was born in Orange county, North 
Carolina, May 21st, 1788, and removed to Missouri and settled in Ray county in 
1838, where he resided until 1854, when he removed this county, where he 
resided up to his death.  His father was a revolutionary soldier under Gen. 
Washington, and the subject of this notice was a soldier in the war of 1812 
under Gen. Jackson, and has ever since been an ardent supporter of what is 
termed “Jacksonian Democracy.”  Capt Gant was a man of strong native sense, 
eccentric in many things, but enterprising and law-abiding as a citizen.  He 
leaves a large family and numerous friends to lament his loss.  Although we 
believe he was not a member of any church, hew was a close reader of the 
Scriptures and practiced what he conceived to be true Christian doctrine – and 
has no doubt gone to that rest that remains to the people of God. 

Mar 14, 1873:
Died in Cameron, Mo., on 9th inst., Mrs. Lucy A. Riggs, daughter of Robt. G. 
and Sarah Vance, formerly of Clay county, of Spinal Meningetes, in the 31st 
year of her age.

Mar 21, 1873:
Tribute of Respect.
It hath pleased Almighty God, to remove from our midst, our worthy and 
venerable brother, James H. Gant, who departed this life at his residence in 
Liberty, Mo., on the 4th day march, A.D., 1873.  Bro. Gant, was born on the 
21st day of May, 1789.  At the time of his death he was in his 84th year.  This 
great age was vouched to him as the natural reward of a just, useful and 
temperate life.
As a citizen, Brother Gant was, in the earlier years of his life, enterprising 
and public-spirited – as a man he was just and upright – as a neighbor and 
brother he was wise in counsel and genial in social intercourse – as a husband 
and parent, he was kind, forbearing, loving.  His faith in the Christian 
religion was firm and unswerving and in his dying hour, he found comfort and 
solace in the hope of its rewards and promises.
He leaves an aged wife – the companion of his youth as well as of his age, he 
leaves children and a large number of relatives and friends, to mourn his loss.
Therefore, Resolved by Liberty Lodge No. 31, A.F. & A.M.
1st.  That in the death of Bro. Gant, this community has lost a good citizen, 
the Christian religion a faithful adherent and a worthy exemplar.  The Masonic 
brotherhood a worthy member and his family a loving husband and father.
2d.  That we tender our condolence to the bereaved family of Brother Gant and 
commend to them the consolations of that religion which was his guide in life 
and his solace in death.
3d. That the members of this Lodge, wear the usual badge of mourning 30 days, 
and that a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the family of Brother Gant 
and a copy published in the Liberty Tribune, and that these resolutions be 
entered on the records of this Lodge.

Mar 21, 1873:
In Memoriam.
Died, in this county on Friday 14th, 1873, Little Joe, infant son of L. and 
Amanda Grimes, aged one year 6 mos. and 15 days.
Little Joe has gone to Heaven, as God says there is none greater than such 
there.  So friends don’t mourn for your innocent little Joe, for he has gone to 
the climes above where there is no trouble or sorrow.  He died without pain or 
even a taint of sin to cross his path on his way to his God – his mighty 
Redeemer above.        D.  L.  

Obituary.
Died, on the 4th inst., at Plattsburg, Mo., Allia, daughter of Rudolph and Jane 
Irminger, aged seven years, one month and fifteen days.  Born at Fort Union , 
New Mexico, on the 17th of January, 1866.
Little Allia is gone.  As we weep o’er her departure, tears will unbidden 
start, and we find it hard to say “Thy will be done.”  Where now is that sunny 
smile and fairy foot step?  Ah! They are hushed in Death; but her young spirit 
has been wafted to that ethereal realm of blissful repose.  See her robed in 
spotless garments one of the bright angelic host around the throne.  O, why ask 
for her return!  Is she not happy waiting and watching for mama.  No longer 
does she suffer, no longer weep, for “over there” suffering and weeping are 
alike unknown.  Slumber sweetly little Allia while the grass grows green, and 
flowers bloom o’er your grave. Loved ones will come to you, for you cannot 
return to them.

Far from home was little Allia,
Far from loving friends so dear,
But beside her couch her mama
Watched by day and night with fear

From this dreary world of sorrow,
From a mother’s watchful care,
God has called our little darling,
There to rest where all is fair.

See her robed in heavenly garments,
See her with her harp in hand,
Would you wish her every pleasure,
Call her not from that bright land.       B.  B.

Mar 28, 1873:
Died, of Meningetis, on the 27th of March, 1873, James Lee, son of J.L. and 
Margaret Pryor, aged nine years and 27 days.
Burial today at ten o’clock, at the New Cemetery.

Apr 4, 1873:
Obituary.
Died, on the 20th of March, 1873, at residence of her grandfather, Minnie, only 
daughter of David and Lydia Thorp, aged 1 year and 8 months.
Darling little Minnie is taken from us, and we could scarcely be able to bear 
our affliction were we not confident that she is resting in the arms of that 
dear Savior, who said “suffer little children to come unto me,” &c.  Weep not 
fond parents, for little Minnie, for her body is at rest and her spirit has 
returned to Him who gave it.  How happy the thought that the separation is not 
eternal- that there is a time to come when happy friends will meet to part no 
more.  “The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blessed by the name of the 
Lord.”
She is gone, she’s gone, our Minnie is gone 
The mandate came, the deed is done,
The sun is set to rise no more,
She’s gone to Heaven’s happy shore.

Our Minnie’s gone, we still remain,
Our loss is her eternal gain;
She’s gone from sorrow, pain and woe
The lot for mortals her below.             M.A. T.

“Woulds’t thou recall its ransomed soul
From that eternity of bliss,
To live, to suffer, and to feel 
The sorrows of a world like this?

O! bear with resignation meek
The chastenings of they Father’s rod,
Be joyful, for thou hast returned
Thy child, and angel, back to God.”

Death of Mrs. Sallie McClain.
On the 10th March, 1873, Mrs. Sallie, wife, of Mr. Ephraim McClain of Saline 
City, Saline county, Mo., died in the 78th year of her age.
We learn from the Marshall Democrat that the deceased was born in Madison 
county, Kentucky, 1796, and was the daughter of Col. Benjamin A. Cooper, who 
served in the Revolutionary War, and was an intimate friend of Daniel Boone.  
They both lived together at Boonsborough for several years.  In 1795 Daniel 
Boone moved to Missouri, and Col. cooper followed in what is now called Warren 
county, Missouri, only three years after the Louisiana purchase.  In 1807 he 
moved to what is now known as Howard county.  The Indians becoming troublesome, 
he moved back to Warren county for safety.  In 1809, as Daniel Boone was 
ascending the Missouri in Keel boats, Col. Cooper and family took passage on 
board of Boone’s keel boats, and again ascended the river and settled near 
Boonslick, in Howard county.  Col. Cooper built a fort near the Missouri river, 
nearly opposite where Arrow Rock now stands.  It is stated that the Indians 
annoyed the Col. and his family for several years, so much, that they were 
compelled to keep near their fort.  It is also stated, that Col. Cooper’s was 
the first white family that settled in this part of Missouri.  He moved to 
Saline county in 1827, and hence to Henry county, Mo., where he died in 1840 at 
the advanced age of 96.
MR. Ephraim McClain, who is still living, was born in Madison county, Kentucky, 
in the year 1800.  His father moved to Howard county, Mo., and built a fort 
which was called McClain’s Fort.  He had a brother called William, whom the 
Indians murdered in 1814 near where Fayette now stands, in Howard county.  Mr. 
McClain’s father was a Baptist minister, and organized the first Baptist church 
in this part of Missouri.
Mr. And Mrs. McClain were married in 1821, and lived together 52 years.  The 
old gentleman’s memory seems very good, and he delights in conversing about the 
days of “Auld Lang Syne.”

We regret to hear of the death of Mr. D.L. Shouse, of Kansas City, and the 
treasurer of the Board of Trustees of Wm. Jewell College.  A good man has 
fallen, and Wm. Jewell has lost  one of its wisest and most steadfast friends.

Apr 11, 1873:
Obituary.
Died on the 4th inst., in Clay county, Mrs. Louisa A. Harsel, late consort of 
Joseph G. Harsel, in the 29th year of her age.
Another one of our dearest friends has joined the glorified millions that rest 
securely in the bosom of a risen Savior.  
Mrs. Harsel united with the Christian Church at Smithville about two years ago, 
and has ever since lived true to the cause of Christ.  By her death the church 
has lost a consistent member, and her husband a loving and devoted companion.  
Yet Lou thou art gone!  It is hard for us to realize that thou art dead, though 
we miss thee at morning, at noon and at night.  The household in which thy fond 
heart took so much delight still bears many evidences of thy beloved presence.  
Lou we know that thou art happy in thy own fair home on high whither thy pure 
spirit has been invited by the angels of God.
“We envy, thee thou blissful dead, we envy thy repose;
Thy soft, thy sweet forgetfulness of earth and all its woes;
We envy thee the silent tomb, the soft embrace of death,
For thou’rt beyond the worlds cold care, its foul infectious breath.
Misfortune drags no more thy hand across thy palid brow;
No silent care can feed despair within thy bosom now.”         J.  T.  H.  

Hall of Liberty Lodge, No. 49, I.O.O.F., April 5, 1873.
At a meeting of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Liberty Lodge, No. 49, 
the committee on resolutions relative to the death of Patrick Howley, presented 
the following which were adopted:
Whereas, the allwise Disposer of human events, in the inscrutable ways of his 
wisdom, has withdrawn from our midst our beloved brother, Patrick Howley, 
therefore,
Resolved, That while we bow painfully, yet submissively, to the will of God, we 
recognize in the sudden death of Patrick Howley, in the vigor of his life, a 
loss to the community in which he lived, and an especial calamity to the Lodge 
of which he was a member.  A true and warm-hearted man, he won the regard al 
all who knew him well, and the respect of all who were brought into business 
relations with him.  We tender to his family, whose loss is unspeakable, to his 
brethren of the lodge, to whom he offered the example of a good and true Odd-
Fellow, brightened by the genial warmth of a temper that carried its sunshine 
from the Lodge-room even into the field of life’s pursuits, our sincere 
condolence, that his warm heart is lost in this world’s labors forever.
Resolved, That the members of the Lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for 
thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Liberty Tribune for 
publication, and a copy to the family of the deceased.
James, M. Sandusky,  Wm. M. Burris, Jr.,   B.B. Corbin,   Committee


Death of D.L. Shouse.
The Kansas City Journal pays the following eloquent and appropriate tribute to 
the memory of D.L. Shouse:
The announcement of the death of D.L. Shouse fell like a calamity upon our 
people.  He has been a resident of Kansas City for about eighteen years.  If 
ever a good man lived among us it was D.L. Shouse.  Always foremost in every 
good work – a Christian without blemish or shadow of wrong – the friend of the 
widow and orphan, and the companion of the children of the city, he was a man 
without guile and almost without a fault.  It will be many years before we have 
a man to take his place.  No one within our recollection has died in our city 
whose taking off will reach so many sincere mourning hearts as his.  To the 
Sunday School children it is as if a common father was taken from them.  The 
death of a good man is a general bereavement – and D.L. Shouse will be followed 
to the grave by more sincere affection than that of any citizen since we have 
known Kansas City.

Mrs. Clark, wife of General John B. Clark, Sr., of Fayette, Mo., died on the 
29th ult., after a long illness.  It was but a few days previous that the wife 
of Gen. John B. Clark, Jr., died in the same place.

Death of Mrs. Mary Dougherty.
We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Mary Dougherty, widow of the late Maj. 
John Dougherty.  She died on the 27th of March, in Philadelphia, at the 
residence of her son-in-law, Gen. C.F. Ruff, in the 74th year of her age.  She 
was a lady of more than ordinary mind, rare accomplishments, and winning 
disposition, and her loss will be deeply deplored not only by her immediate 
family but by thousands of acquaintances in upper Missouri and elsewhere.

Death of Dr. M.Q. Ashby.
We are informed that in the town of Mount Sterling, in the State of Kentucky, 
on the 30th day of March last, there departed this life, one of the most 
remarkable men of his day – Dr. Mauzey Q. Ashby.  He was born about the year 
1787, in the State of Virginia.  Knowing Dr. Ashby for many years, we 
unhesitatingly say, that we believe, no man, who has not occupied a political 
position, is so well known to the people of Kentucky, Missouri, and most of the 
Western States as Dr. Ashby.
He graduated in medicine under the celebrated Dr. Benj. Rush, one of the 
signers of the Declaration of Independence.  Started in life a poor young man, 
without friends or assistance, but by dint of perseverance and indomitable 
energy, coupled with his inate ability, Dr. Ashby made himself one of the most 
remarkable men known to this or the preceding generation.  He died one of the 
wealthiest men in the State of Kentucky.  He was the owner of over thirty 
thousand acres of land in Missouri, and the possessor of as much, if not more, 
personal property than any man in the State of Kentucky.  Dr. Ashby was the 
father of the wife of Hon. Samuel H. Woodson, of Independence, and grandfather 
of our fellow citizen, Col. W.H. Woodson.  The families of Judge J.T.V. 
Thompson, of the late John R. Peters, Jno. W. Drew, and others, all relatives 
and friends and acquaintances of Dr. Ashby, will hear of his demise with regret.

Apr 18, 1873:
Death of Joseph Lewis.
Mr. Joseph Lewis died at his residence near this city on the 14th inst.  He was 
born the 15th of June, 1781, and was consequently 91 years 10 months old less 
one day.  He was born in Virginia, but emigrated with his father to Mercer 
county, Ky., in 1790, and moved to Clay county, Mo., in 1835, where he resided 
up to his death.  Mr. Lewis was a man universally esteemed by his neighbors and 
acquaintances, and was probably the oldest man in the county.  In a word he 
was “God’s noblest work, an honest man.”

Died, March 1st, 1873, Mrs. Judith A. Hnkley, wife of Moses Hinkley, Esq., aged 
39 years. 

Killed by a Mule. – We regret to learn of the death of a son of Richard Hultz, 
aged about 14 years, residing in the edge of Clay county.
It seems the little fellow went into the lot for the purpose of bridling a 
mule, which had a rope around its neck in the end of which was a loop.  The boy 
got his arm into the loop, when the mule started to run, which tightened the 
loop upon the boy’s arm, and dragged him around the lot quite a number of 
times, before he was relieved.  When succor came; he was nearly dead, and died 
in a few hours afterwards.  Plattsburg Register.

Death of E.D. Murray.
Mr. Ephraim D. Murray died at his residence in this city on Sunday last, aged 
about seventy years.  He had been a citizen of Clay county for over thirty 
years, and had held the offices of county treasurer and county clerk for many 
years.  He was at one time one of the most popular men in the county.  He had 
been for some years in feeble health.  No man can say aught against E.D. 
Murray.  He had his faults, and who has not?  May he rest sweetly now that the 
turf covers him.

Another call is given.
And glows once more with angel steps
The path that leads to heaven.”

Heart-rending Accident by Drowning.
The drowning of three persons, a lady and two little daughters, took place in 
Fishing River, at the ford on the road leading From Liberty to Haynesville, on 
the 30th of April, 1873.  A gentleman by the name of Benjamin Williams, 
emigrating from Muscatine Co., Iowa, to Kansas, in attempting to cross the 
River after a freshet, with his wife and four children, met the sad accident of 
losing his wife and two little daughters.
Mr. Williams being a stranger to the crossing, and thinking this no worse in 
appearance than others he had just crossed with safety, attempted to cross, 
when to his surprise found an angry current to contend with.  After having 
driven about halfway across, the horses had to swim the current driving the 
horses and wagon below the desired point, on the opposite side against the 
bank, it being very steep rendering it impossible to get out, the horses and 
wagon, still swimming, and unable to stem the current, turned toward the 
backward shore, when the wagon came uncoupled, the horses leaving the wagon 
taking with them the front carriage, leaving Mr. Williams, with all that was 
near and dear to him, t the mercy of the angry water.  As soon as the wagon 
separated the front end of the box filled with water.  He being a man of 
remarkable presence of mind in time of danger, seeing his family in perilous 
condition, next endeavored to rescue them from a watery grave by first telling 
his wife in case the wreck should be capsized she should get out behind and 
take as much bedding with her as possible.  No sooner was this said than the 
entire wreck became submerged and the lady was seen floating below, he taking 
with him from the wreck his eldest little boy succeeded in saving him.  
Throwing off his overcoat, and dropping his almost drowned child pursued onward 
to the rescue of the rest or such as he might save, the current running at such 
a rapid rate that it was almost impossible for a man to keep up with it.  While 
running along the shore watching for the appearance of some of the bodies, he 
at a distance saw his wife rise and sink for the last time.  He then sprang 
into the water in hopes his wife would rise again and at that moment his babe 
made its appearance which he succeeded in rescuing, being as he supposes nearly 
lifeless.  The two little boys were soon taken to the house of a neighbor, 
kindly cared for and soon recovered.   The two little girls whose ages were 
about six and eight years respectively.  The two little boys one 18 months the 
other nearly 4 years.  The age of the lady 27 years.
The citizens turned out in mass and searched unceasingly until the bodies were 
all found.
The body of the lady was found about noon the next day after the accident.  The 
bodies of the two little girls were not found until about noon of the fourth 
day.  The bodies being very respectfully cared for and interred in the 
churchyard at the Baptist Church in Kearney.
The interments being deeply interesting and attended by a large concourse of 
our heart feeling and sympathetic people who were quite all moved to tears.
After this the bereaved husband and father continued his lonely journey, with 
his two little ones, being spared to him, leaving the request that his sincere 
and heartfelt thanks may be tendered to the citizens of Kearney and vicinity 
for the kindness shown to him for his dear departed one.              B.F.

May 16, 1873:
Died, at the family residence in Platte City, on Thursday morning, May 15th, 
Mrs. Malinda Norton, wife of Judge E.H. Norton, and daughter of Hon. Jno. 
Wilson, aged about 42 years.

May 23, 1873:
Mr. David Barnum, died of Meningetis, in this city, on Friday night last.  He 
was one of our most promising young attornies, a gentleman in the broadest 
sense, of strict integrity and fine morals, blended with the most captivating 
social qualities.  His loss is deeply regretted.  “Peace to his ashes.”  His 
remains were taken to St. Paul, Minn., where his parents reside.

David Barnum.
On the 16th inst., at nearly twelve o’clock P.M., and after an illness of about 
two weeks, David Barnum departed this life.  He was born in the State of 
Alabama. At the age of fourteen he received the appointment at the Naval 
Academy at Anapolis, where he remained two years, when, on the commencement of 
the late war, he abandoned the navy, and returned South.  He passed through the 
four years of the war as a soldier, and was in a large number of those bloody 
battles that made Virginia the graveyard of the Rebellion.  It was during these 
years he acquired a tone of chivalry and a bearing of independence that 
enforced respect at all times.  A more pleasant or agreeable companion could 
not be found, though, upon occasions, at tinge of melancholy appeared in his 
language and feelings that was almost Byronic.  In the profession of law, in 
which he had embarked, he possessed many of those qualities that eminently 
conduce to success.  His standing socially and legally, was high; and the city 
and county of his adoption, in their loss of a citizen and man, extend sincere 
condolence to his relatives in blood, to whom he was endeared by the nearer 
ties of nature.  

May 30, 1873:
From the Platte City Landmark, Obsequies of Mrs. Norton.
Last Friday morning we made brief mention of the death of Mrs. Malinda C. 
Norton, the wife of Hon. E.H. Norton.  Few occasions of this kind have called 
forth deeper sympathy and more heart-felt expressions of regret.  At 4 o’clock, 
Friday afternoon, the hour appointed for the funeral, our entire community 
assembled at the Methodist and Presbyterian Church, where the body was 
conveyed, and there joined in the solemn and impressive services.  After the 
singing of appropriate hymns by the congregation, Rev. D.R. Shackleford 
delivered the following remarks:
We are mete, my friends, to pay our last regards to one of our best friends and 
most honored women.  This indeed a most solemn occasion, one that demands great 
faith in God, and deep, sober thought and feeling.  The deceased was the wife 
and mother of one of the most highly esteemed and beloved families of this 
community.
Mrs. Malinda Clark Norton was born in Boonville, Cooper county, Mo., the 7th 
day of February, 1831.  She lived there for 10 years, when she came to Platte 
County with her parents in 1841.  Mrs. Norton was the daughter of Hon. John and 
Elizabeth Wilson, who are well known among all this people.  Her social 
advantages were good.  Her traits of natural character were varied, to-wit: 
Great truthfulness from childhood.  This absolutely necessary to a great 
character or useful life.  Amiableness – making others happy.  Great 
generosity – always with an open and liberal hand – so that the poor and needy 
did not seek her aid in vain;  so that many already rise up and call her 
blessed.  AS her future happiness is a matter of deep concern, it becomes our 
duty and privilege to look into her religious character, and therefore her 
title to a home in heaven.
Miss Malinda Wilson professed religion in Boonville, Mo., at about 15 years of 
age, under the ministry of Rev. Joseph Boyle, for whom she retained a strong 
attachment during her life.  Her conversion is said to have been clear, and her 
consecration for life.  About the same time she united with the M.E. Church, 
South, in the communion of which she lived and died an honored member.  At the 
time of her conversion none of her father’s family were religious.  Her power 
for good was felt at once.  Among its first fruits was the conversion of her 
mother.  What a beautiful example is this for her family and friends – first 
give yourselves to Jesus and then lead others to him.
Our deceased sister was married to Elijah H. Norton, near Platte City, the 28th 
of May, 1850.  This union was perpetuated happily for nearly 23 years.  God’s 
blessings attended them throughout these years.  He gave them this world’s 
goods plentifully, and generously gave them 11 children.  Two of those are with 
the mother now.  Nine remain under the father’s care.  The charge of eleven 
immortal souls, to be trained for God and the sky, was an arduous and great 
work; one that might well fill an Angel’s hands.  Thus you see the important 
position this woman held – the duties of which she endeavored, by God’s help, 
to discharge.  Another point in the case, was her resignation and faith in 
times of affliction and bereavement.  When her sister Nellie died some years 
ago, her mother seemed to be overcome by sorrow.  Mrs. Norton exhorted her not 
to repine, saying that she would not have Nellie back, if she could do so by 
calling her:  preferring a future meeting to her return.  As a wife and mother 
she excelled many of her generation.  As a provider, her views were large.  In 
government her powers were extraordinary, though quietly exercised.  Her power 
over her husband and family, was strong, yet conservative.  It was that of the 
true wife and mother.  The reins of government as held by her, as the second in 
the family, were not given up until her work was fully done; and I think we may 
say, well done.  Her habits of devotion were regular.  She was an habitual 
reader of the Holy Scriptures.  Her honored husband told me yesterday that he 
had never known her, when in health, to retire at night without first kneeling 
by her bedside in prayer.  May her example in prayer be always remembered an 
followed by her husband and children.  For twelve or fourteen years she 
suffered from heart disease.  Fro several years she was very deaf – so that her 
attendance upon divine worship was suspended.  These things were borne with 
true fortitude.  Her pilgrimage was now getting short.  For the last three 
weeks she has been very ill.  She was watched with great solicitude.  During 
last Wednesday, the 14th, the symptoms grew worse, and she began to sink.  
About 12 o’clock that night Mrs. Doniphan her cousin, revealed to her the fact 
that her end was high.  This surprised but did not frighten her.  When asked as 
to her fear of Death and trust in Jesus, her answers were clear and 
satisfactory.  All right so far as she was concerned.  Her departure was 
sublime.  Only a few minutes to live.  Four acts mark her departure with 
distinction:
1.  She asks for her family to remember her.
2.  Leaves her maternal blessing upon them
3.  Entreats them to live religiously
4.  Requests them to meet her in heaven.
Oh! What a scene.  How dear were the interest she was leaving behind!  How rich 
were the treasures before her.  She is no more among us.  Her work is still 
here.  Her master said that she may rest from labor.
At the conclusion of the services at the church, the procession proceeded to 
the cemetery, where the solemn burial service of the M.E. Church, South, was 
read, and the body of Mrs. Norton was consigned to the earth, to await the 
final resurrection.

Obituary.
Died, April 27th, 1873, at the residence of John Neal, in Clay county, Mo., 
Lucy woods, of meningitis, aged 23 years.
Yes, taken in the full bloom of womanhood; death has again come into our garden 
and taken our fairest flower.  I asked him what he had done with all the 
beautiful flowers he had stolen from our earthly gardens; for he had done that 
thing to me before and I felt that I had the right to ask; he had taken my 
father, the best earthly friend that God has ever given me, my fairest sister 
and three dear brothers.  But death replied very calmly “you should not say 
stolen, for I am not a thief.  There is one that owns all the beautiful flowers 
upon your broad green earth and He has a right to transplant them when and 
where He pleases.  He sends me to your gardens.”  But why I asked, do you 
snatch them so rudely and leave our hearts all torn and bleeding?  “Alas!” 
replied death, “why will not mortals let them go?  Pure maidens are the 
paradise of flowers.  But be the world ever so bleak and desolate, mortals 
would keep them here, so they bind them with cords lest they be taken away? and 
these cords are twined with their own heart-strings.  How can I loosen the one 
without braking the other!”  I of all her sisters will miss her most, all our 
lives we have shared each other’s joys and sorrows, and for more than a year 
she has made my house her home and been my constant companion.  But it will 
ever be a consolation to us to know that she died with the hope of joining the 
heavenly choir and living with Him that has said “I am the resurrection and the 
life.”  To him that was waiting so patiently for her recovery to lead her to 
the Altar; I would say, think not of your Lucy as dead, but only waiting for 
you among the Angels where “there is no marrying nor giving in marriage.”  But 
oh! how my heart ached when I saw you bind the dead girl that should have been 
your companion through life, a long, a last, a tender farewell.  And I thought 
as I looked over that group and saw tears streaming down every cheek, that I 
had never seen more heartfelt sympathy.  We felt sad oh! so sad as we clothed 
our beautiful dead in the garments that had been prepared for her bridal.  And 
again our hearts were sad when the first day of May, the day appointed for her 
marriage rolled around and found her in her cold grave.  And yet me thinks that 
every one of our kindred claimed by death should bind us nearer Heaven, should 
make us strive harder to reach that haven of rest.     Sister Babe.

Death of James Walker.
Mr. James  Walker died at his home near this city, on the 22d inst.  He was 
born in Fauquier county, Va., March 1, 1797.  His father Solomon Walker, served 
in the Revolutionary War, and was in the battles of Bunker’s Hill, Brandywine, 
Trenton, and the siege of Yorktown.  The subject of this notice was in the war 
of 1812.  He removed from Virginia to Clay county in 1848, where he resided up 
to his death.  He was one of the best citizens of Clay county, a devoted member 
of the Baptist Church, and died deeply regretted. 

From Providence and Gosneyville.
Mr. Jas. H. Stout died on the morning of May 20th, of consumption, in the 
twenty-fifth year of his age and was buried with Masonic honors by Acacia 
Lodge, No. 289, Temperance Lodge, No. 438, of Smithville, assisting.  IT was 
the largest attended funeral that I have ever witnessed in the county, the 
people coming for miles to pay their respect to the dead.  Thirteen months ago 
his young wife died at Gower, and in August or September his only child 
followed, and now he has joined them as we trust in the better land, as he gave 
bright evidence before his death of his trust in the Lion of the tribe of 
Judah.  Requiescat in Pace.  Yours Demetrius.

Jun 6, 1873:
Tribute of Respect.
At a meeting of Liberty Literary and Debating Club, the death of David Barnum 
was announced, and on motion, Samuel Hardwick, Joseph H. Rickards and James 
Love, were appointed a committee to draft resolutions, expressive of the sense 
of the club.
The following resolutions were presented and adopted:

relatives and friends of the deceased.
4th.  That a copy of these preceedings be spread on the minutes of our club,

Jun 13, 1873:
Death of William Carpenter.
Died at his residence in this city on Wednesday, June 4th, 1873. William 
Carpenter Esq., father of Mr. Dan. Carpenter, of Barry, Clay county, Mo., after 
a lingering illness.
The deceased was born in Fauqueir county, Virginia, July 27th, 1790.  by 
patient industry and application he succeeded in obtaining a very good English 
education.  In 1802 he moved to Ohio, or what then called the Northwest 
Territory.  During the war of 1812 he was a soldier under Harrison.  For about 
ten years he was Colonel of the 2nd Regiment, 2nd Brigade, and 2d Division of 
Ohio Militia, and for about fifteen years he was surveyor of Lawrence county, 
Ohio.  He was, also, a member of the Legislature of Ohio from 1833 to 1834, but 
becoming disgusted with the shameless intrigues and corruption of politicians 
he positively refused further political honors, preferring the quietude of a 
more unassuming life.  In 1841 he came to Clinton county, Missouri, where he 
made preparations for settling, and in 1843 moved his family to that county, 
where by industry and strict attention to business, he amassed considerable 
wealth.   In 1862 he moved to Weston, where he was engaged in commercial 
pursuits until a few months ago, when he was prostrated from the effects of a 
fall, since which time he slowly declined until death stilled the beatings of 
his aged heart.
He was a man of strong emotions and was possessed of many eccentricities.  He 
was economical to a fault, yet withal, he was governed by generous impulses and 
many unfortunate victims of poverty have had their hands well filled through 
his charity.  If he disliked a man he would have nothing to do with him, while 
his friendship could be discovered in every action.  He was an old man and 
retained many of the notions that characterize the old men of this progressive 
age, and when his opinions were once set he would back them with his money.
Sometimes he made harsh remarks about some of his acquaintances, but before he 
died he asked the forgiveness of all, and forgave all whom he thought had 
injured him.
But whatever may have been his faults he was an honorable man and a good 
citizen.  His generosity to the poor was a marked characteristic of his 
nature.  His eccentricities were immaterial. – Weston Commercial.

Jul 4, 1873:
Died, on the 17th inst., Paul Eugene, aged 4 years and 7 months, son of David 
and Lydia Thorp.
Little Paul was indeed a child of promise and rare loveliness.  Death has torn 
him from the arms of living parents.  He was too tender and pure a bud for 
earth, and has been transplanted in that Heavenly clime, where no chilling 
winds will disturb its blooming.  Shed no bitter tears mother, but be comforted 
with the assurance of meeting your darling when the storms and conflicts of 
life are past.  There in angel purity he will await your coming to welcome you 
into the port of glory.  It is hard indeed to give up a child like this, but 
God doeth all things well; he has afflicted and he will heal, it may be to wean 
us from earth; and draw us to Heaven; so look away through your tears, and see 
your little Paul in the arms of our Saviour.
Oh lovely boy – of promise bright,
A little circle’s fond delight,
How hard to part with thee;
No more on earth to see thy smiling face,
Thy sparkling eye, thy winning grace,
Thy innocent and mirthful glee.

None but a mother’s heart can know
The measure of a mother’s woe.
When from her fond embrace,
A child like this by death is torn,
Her loveliest and earliest born
Oh! what but Heaven can fill his place.

Jul 11, 1873:
Died, near this city, 2d July, Mrs. Mary Crockett, wife of T.T. Crockett, and 
daughter of Howard Everett, aged abut 41 years.

Jul 25, 1873:
Died suddenly in New York city, while on a visit to her relatives, of heart 
disease, on the 19th July, 1873, Elizabeth Jane Doniphan, wife of Gen. A.W. 
Doniphan, and eldest daughter of the late Col. John Thornton. 

Mr. Patrick Hughes, a highly respectable citizen died at his residence in the 
co’ty on Wednesday aged about 80 years.  He ate his breakfast on the day of his 
death in usual health and by 9 o’clock A.M. was a corpse.  Mr. H. had resided 
in this county for a great many years, and was much esteemed as a good neighbor 
and citizen by his friends and acquaintances.  He was a native of Ireland.  
Peace to his ashes.

Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Doniphan.
It was with no ordinary feelings of regret that the relatives and friends of 
this estimable lady heard of her demise.
She died in the City of New York on the 19th inst at the residence of her 
sisters, Mrs. R.W. Donnell and Mrs. L.M. Lawson, whither she had gone some 
weeks since in quest of health.
Mrs. Doniphan was born in what are now the limits of Clay Co., Mo., on the 
231st day of December 1820, and was the second white child born in this 
County.  Her father then lived in a block-house.  This was necessary as a 
protection against the Indians.  She was the daughter of the late Col. John 
Thornton, of this County, who was well known throughout the State as a man of 
great ability and probity.  Her mother’s maiden name was Trigg – a family name 
no unknown in Virginia Kentucky, Missouri and other Southern States.  On the 
21st day of December 1837, she was united in marriage to Col. A.W. Doniphan, of 
whom we need not speak.
Nearly thirty years ago, she became a communicant of the Christian Church under 
the ministration, if we mistake not, of the Rev. A.H.F. Payne, since deceased.
It is almost superfluous for us to speak of Mrs. Doniphan from a religious, 
domestic or social point of view.  Few persons were more conversant with Holy 
Writ.  The Bible was her constant companion, and during the larger portion of 
her life, her conversation – always pleasing and lively – was yet softened and 
irradiated by the feelings and graces of religion.
She was a charming companion, and the delight of all society where she chanced 
to be.  Her stores of information and vigorous common sense made her remarks in 
company ever acceptable and worthy of note.
It was, however, at home – in the true domestic circle – that she most 
conspicuously shone.  There no woman surpassed her.  Her visitors felt as if 
they could not stay with her too long for their own profit or entertainment.
She sank to rest no unexpectedly, for she had been an invalid for years, but 
long before the love of her relatives and friends was willing to yield her up.
The piety, resignation, charity, and calmness of her life insure for Mrs. 
Doniphan, so fare as the ken of man extends, a peaceful rest and glorious 
immortality.
So may it be!
She was buried in the New Cemetery in this City on the 23d inst., amid a large 
concourse of her relatives, friends and acquaintances.

Aug 8, 1873:
Death of Hon. Thomas McCarty.
Died in this city on the morning of the 6th inst., after an illness of some 
weeks, proximately the result of a wound received in front upon the battle 
field of Wilson’s Creek near Springfield, full of honors, in mid career of 
usefulness, surrounded by devoted friends, and lamented by the people of his 
county as few men are, the Hon. Thomas McCarty.
He was born in Mason county, Ky.,  - the birth place of more than one citizen 
of this county who has achieved distinction – on the 24th day of July, 1822.  
While yet a boy, he removed to Shelby county, Ky., and there resided until 
manhood.  About the year 1840, or, perhaps, 1841, he became a citizen of this 
county, and during some years subsequently taught school in the neighborhood of 
his venerated and surviving friend, Maj. Winfrey E. Price.  More than one of 
the substantial citizens of Clay county were pupils of Capt. McCarty.  From the 
time that he first came to Missouri until his death, almost continually, his 
home was in this county.  In the spring of 1846, with the enthusiasm peculiar 
to his time of life, he volunteered in Capt. O.P. Moss’ company from this 
county for service in the war against Mexico, and participated in the renowned 
march of Col. A.W. Doniphan from ft. Leavenworth to Santa Fe Bracito Sacramento 
Chihuahua, Monterey and the Gulf.  This campaign established his reputation as 
a man of the highest moral as well as soldierly qualities.  The name of Thom. 
McCarty – a name that all who knew him loved to call him – became synonymous 
with duty.  He would neither swerve nor permit any about him to do so.
With the return of Doniphan’s regiment, he resumed the avocations of peace.  
His residence in Clay county was interrupted by a stay of a few months in 
Weston, Mo., and a trip to California, in the years 1849 and 1850. 
In 1853, he was elected Clerk of the County Court of this county, and served as 
such for six years succeeding.  No county ever had a more vigilant, 
painstaking, honest public officer.  We presume that his record while in office 
will show as fair a page as that of any man.
In 1859, he began the practice of the law.  He had been engaged in the study of 
it for years previously.  The older members of the bar in Western Missouri will 
remember that he at once took a very high position in his profession.  Those 
who have know him only since the civil war and whilst he was writhing, 
suffering and wasting away under the effects of an incurable wound can form no 
idea of his force and acumen before both court and jury in the bright years, 
1859, ’60, and ’61.  Although the science of the law is a jealous science and 
demands the midnight study of the hours of youth and early manhood in order to 
the attainment of its highest walks, yet Capt. McCarty’s strong, native sense, 
application, and indomitable will-power enabled him to gather some of the 
fairest flowers of professional excellence immediately after his entrance into 
the duties of that calling.
In 1861 came on the war between the States.  tom McCarty – so it suits our 
people best to call him – was an ardent Southern man.  He believed she was 
right and died in that belief.  Those are her now who will remember seeing him 
and Capt. Richard H. Weightman – famous in Doniphan’s campaign and who 
afterwards died at Springfield – in close conference during some days in the 
early part of May 1861.  The result was, that they both went to the Southern 
Army.
Capt. McCarty raised a company in this county – composed out of the flower of 
our youth – and joined Gen. Sterling Price at Lexington in May.  This company 
was a part of what was known in the campaign that ensued as the “extra 
Battalion.”  It was made up of three companies, if we mistake not, wholly from 
the counties of Platte and Clay.  This battalion was attached to the 1st reg’t 
infantry, (4th division of the Missouri State Guard) commanded by the late Col 
John T. Hughes.  This regiment was under the command of Gen. W.Y. Slack – one 
of Missouri’s noblest sons - who was subsequently mortally wounded at Pea 
Ridge.  To speak of the “Extra Battalion,” the 1st regiment of infantry, and 
Gen. Slack will excite a thrill of pride in all North West Missouri even after 
the lapse of twelve years.  Capt. McCarty and his company shared in all of the 
hazards and toils of that remarkable campaign, including Carthage – where the 
gallant Albert Withers was slain – and Springfield, the bloodiest monument of 
the war in Missouri.  It is an old tale to recount the battle of Springfield – 
called Wilson’s Creek in some of the histories.  Missourians, however, will 
only be content to call it Springfield.
It was there, on the memorable 10th of August, 1861, that the subject of this 
sketch was wounded in the face by a Minie ball.  He died of its effects.  The 
position of Capt. McCarty was not on the “perilous edge of battle,” but in the 
midst of it.  On “Bloody Hill,” staying Lyon, for five hours the right arm of 
Hughes and Slack, he faced the storm of lead.  WE will be pardoned if we copy 
from a letter to us of the late Col. John T. Hughes – himself one of 
the “bravest of the brave” and long since dead upon the “field of honor” – 
written before the smoke of the cannon had lifted from the hills of 
Springfield.  He said”…

Aug 15, 1873:
Mr. John Harris, one of the oldest citizens of Westport, Mo., died on Saturday 
last aged 78 years.

We regret to hear that Mr. Abijah Brooks died at his home in this county on 
Tuesday.  He was a most worthy citizen, universally respected by all who knew 
him.

Death of Mr. Menefee.
An old pioneer of British Columbia, Mr. Thomas J. Menefee, died in Barkerville 
on Monday last after a short illness.  Mr. Menefee came to this country in 
1858, having started from the Dalles in July of that year with Capt. 
McLaughlin’s company – the first party of gold-hunters who made the journey 
overland to Fraser river.   When passing the mouth of Okanagan canyon, they 
were attacked by the Indians, and three of the party were killed and several 
wounded, among the latter Mr. Menefee, who was shot through the left lung, and 
had to be packed on mules to Lytton, a distance of some 250 miles, from which 
he proceeded to Victoria for medical advice.  After his partial recovery, Mr. 
Menefee returned to the mainland and engaged in packing, and on retiring from 
that business he purchased the Mission ranch at Williams Lake, where he 
successfully carried on farming and trading.  Some three years since he entered 
into partnership with Mr. C.P. Dunlevy, of Soda Creek, where he carried on 
business up to the time of his death.  Mr. Menefee was a man of considerable 
energy and stood high in the estimation of the community as an honest, reliable 
business man.  Much sympathy was manifested by our citizens for Mr. Menefee 
during his last illness. Leaving home for Barkerville to take part in the 
festivities of Dominion Day and Fourth of July, he was taken seriously ill on 
the road between Quesnelmouth and Vanwinkle, and brought into town in a very 
low condition.  Not withstanding the utmost attention on the part of his 
physician and the careful nursing of many friends, he succumbed to the disease –
 inflammation of the lung – and died at the residence of Mr. J.A. Newland at 1 
o’clock on Monday morning, July 7th.  The deceased was a native of Missouri, 
U.S., and aged about 42 years.  The funeral service was performed in 
Barkerville by Rev. Mr. Hall, Wesleyan Minister, and the body taken to Soda 
Creek for interment, a large number of people following the remains as far as 
Richfield.
Mr. Menefee, the deceased, was a son of our venerable countyman, Mr. Jno 
Menefee, and was raised in Clay county.

Obituary.
Died, at the residence of his father near Big Shoal Church, Mr. Thos. M. 
Lindsay, Aug. 18, 1873.  He was born in Henry co., KY., Jan. 1, 1848 – came 
with his parents to this State in the fall of 1857, and lived in Clay co., to 
the time of his death.
He was a dutiful and affectionate son, a kind and faithful brother, and an 
exemplary Christian.  He professed faith in the Savior and united with the 
Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Barry, Nov. 15, 1866.
A severe cold settled on his lungs, and gradually wore away his life.  He bore 
his affliction as the chastening of a kind Heavenly father, with patience, and 
humility, adorning his Christian profession with an orderly walk and pious 
conversation.
In the morning he was out to one of his neighbors, spent the day cheerfully and 
anticipated many days of social enjoyment with the dear young folks at home.  
Was called to supper, ate heartily as usual and with relish, when he dropped 
suddenly from his chair and his spirit winged its flight to “the better land.”
He leaves a father, several sisters and a brother to mourn his loss, but they 
should not “weep as those having no hope” beyond the grave, for we are assured 
that “they that sleep in Jesus will God bring with him” “when he comes to make 
up his jewels.”
A large concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors followed his remains to 
their last resting place at Big Shoal Church, and we deposited them with a full 
assurance of a “glorious immortality beyond the tomb.”       Camille.

Mr. John Walker, living just below Mo. City, committed suicide on Wednesday 
morning last by putting a shot gun in his mouth and firing it – the charge 
coming out at the top of the head.  He was no doubt out of his mind – as he has 
for some years been subject to flighty spells.  He was buried at the old Walker 
homestead, two miles east of Liberty, on Wednesday evening.  He leaves a wife 
and four children to lament his death.  They have heart-felt sympathy of our 
people.

Sep 19, 1873:
Col. James H. Moss.
This community will receive with profound regret intelligence of the death of 
Col. Moss.  He died at Columbia, Mo., on the 13th inst.  This event was not 
unexpected to those who were aware for years past of his declining health.  He 
has filled a large part in the history of this county, and he should not, 
hence, be permitted to pass away without something said touching his life and 
the inestimable good that he has done this county.  In consequence of the alte 
day when we received word of his death and the difficulty, because of the 
absence of some of his friends, of getting certain data, we have deferred a 
fuller notice of Col. Moss’ death until our next issue.

Died, in Clay county, Mo., Sept. 14th, 1873, Lilbern, son of L.B. and M.A. 
Stollings, aged 8 months and 21 days.
His sweet baby voice no more we’ll hear,
His darling form no more we’ll see,
The little lamb, so near and dear,
Is in eternity.                                   Elvira.

Died, in San Jose, California, on the 29th of August, 1873, at consumption,

Sep 26, 1873:
Death of Col. James Hugh Moss.
Born July 24, 1821 – Died Sept. 13, 1873.
At his residence in Columbia, M., at two o’clock on Saturday morning, Sept. 13, 
1873, after a lingering illness, Col. James Hugh Moss, aged 49 years, one 
month, and 20 days.
The deceased was a native of the county of Boone, and was the youngest child of 
the late Dr. James W. Moss, who will be remembered as one of the early settlers 
and one of the most accomplished and hospitable citizens amongst the pioneers 
of the county.  His mother was Mary Woodson, born in Goochland co., Va., and a 
lady of elevated and beautiful character.  He was the brother of Dr. Woodson J. 
Moss, deceased, of Capt. O.P. Moss, of Clay county, and also of those elegant 
an accomplished ladies, Mrs. John J. Crittenden, recently deceased, Mrs. Mary 
J. Hunton, wife of Maj. Logan Hunton, of St. Louis co’ty.
Prompted by a feeling of sincere personal attachment and great respect for the 
character of the deceased, it is seldom that the writer of this imperfect 
tribute to his memory has been called upon to record the death of a more worthy 
and eminent citizen.  He was held in universal esteem, and the intelligence of 
his death touched a chord of sympathy in the hearts of all who knew him.
Liberally educated, having graduated from the University of the State of 
Missouri in the class of ’44, he was a gentleman of far more than ordinary 
culture.  Adopting the legal profession and settling in the county of Clay, he 
practiced the law there for many years, and once during the time, in the year 
1852, consented to serve the people of that old and respectable county in the 
General Assembly of the State, which he did with great acceptability to his 
constituents and honor to himself.
On the 30th day of Sept., 1847, he was united in marriage with the eldest 
daughter of the late Judge Warren Woodson, of this county, whom he leaves 
behind him a disconsolate widow, and four interesting children to mourn his 
premature and untimely death.
In 1846, at the breaking out of the war with Mexico, he was a volunteer, and 
was chosen 2nd Lieutenant in the company commanded by his brother, Capt. O.P. 
Moss, and joining the regiment commanded by Col. A.W. Doniphan, he followed his 
gallant commander on his long and eventful march thro’ New Mexico, Chihuahua 
and other States of Mexico, and joining Gen. Taylor near the battle field of 
Buena Vista.  Very shortly after that memorable victory, in achieving which 
fell those brave and gallant officers, Hardin, McKee and Clay.  Col. Moss was 
engaged some thirteen months in this service; during the campaign he was in the 
battles of El Passo and Sacramento, and bore himself always like a true 
soldier, inspiring the confidence and affection of all his companions in arms.  
In political life he was an enlightened conservative, and always a true 
patriot.  In Feb., 1861, he was nominated and elected from the 13th Senatorial 
District, composed of the counties of Clay and Platte, a Union delegate to the 
State Convention, which assembled in St. Louis the latter part of that month, 
and in which body he established a high character by his patriotic devotion to 
the Federal Government and the best interests of the people of Missouri.  He 
deprecated the rebellion and utterly repudiated the doctrine of nullification 
and secession as at war with the safety of the people, and of the fundamental 
principles of the government.  Receiving a Colonel’s commission at the hands of 
Lt. Gov. W.P. Hall, in the absence of Gov. Gamble from the State in 1862, he 
raised a regiment for the maintenance of the Union and the preservation of 
order in his part of the state, and in the discharge of these patriotic duties 
he held in check the Red Legs of Kansas, who, although clothed in the Federal 
uniform, in violation of every principle of right and justice, were committing 
outrages upon the non-combatants of a number of the counties of western 
Missouri.
He girded on his armour for the maintenance of the Union, the Constitution and 
the enforcement of the laws, and wherever he saw crime committed in violation 
of the laws of war he gave it a blow, whether perpetrated on the Union or on 
the Rebel side.  This patriotic course brought him in collision to some extent 
with the more rabid Union soldiery, but it won for him the esteem and 
confidence of the just and enlightened of both sides in that section of the 
country where these services were rendered.  In vindicating a cause so pure and 
righteous, as the maintenance of the federal Union, he tolerated no tyranny or 
abuse of power, on the part of those who had undertaken to defend it.  After 
the war, he was chosen attorney of the North Missouri Railroad Company, which 
position he held for a number of years, and finally opened a law office in the 
winter of 1871-72 and made a permanent location in this place.  In returning to 
his native county, he was received with every mark of confidence and esteem, 
and but for his failing health, his future was full of hope and promise.  
Possessing naturally a robust constitution, there came upon him suddenly a 
complication of maladies which seemed to baffle all medical skill.  With a 
determined will he fought against the approach of the unwelcome messenger, the 
common enemy of our race, in the eager pursuit of business, in change of 
location, fleeing to the distant mountains, hoping to find relief in the pure 
and invigorating atmosphere of that elevated region, but all to no purpose.  
The grim monster followed him, with remorseless cruelty, until he was finally 
compelled to yield to his cold embrace.  The faithful husband, father and 
friend, he died without an enemy, a sincere Christina, his loss regretted by 
all, and leaving an example worthy of imitation by all who honor truth, 
integrity, constancy and sincerity as their guide in the affairs of men.  After 
a most appropriate and able funeral discourse, delivered by President J.K. 
Rogers, at the Christian Church of which the deceased was a member, in the 
presence of a large congregation, on Sunday the 14th inst., his remains were 
followed to the Columbia Cemetery by his sorrowing family and relatives and by 
a large funeral cortege, and consigned to “Mother Earth” with every mark of 
respect due to his memory and his character.  Faithful friend, farewell!  May 
the beautiful flowers planted by the hand of affection bloom in perpetual 
fragrance over thee, and the green sod press lightly upon thy bosom!   R.

Died, in this county, on October 10th, 1873, Frank P. Burns, only son of P.B. 
Burns, aged 7 years and 9 months.
To the Memory of Frankie Price Burns
Dear little Frankie, sweetly slumber 
In thy cold and silent tomb;
O! but could again we number
Thee, among our hearth and home.

O, how fondly we have loved thee,
As our own dear little boy,
But now we’er all left sad and mourning,
While thou art up in blissful joy.
Me thinks I hear thy Angle tone,
Resounding through the skies,
As thou art singing at the throne
Of yonder Paradise.

Farewell dear Frankie, may we strive
To meet thee in that happy land,
There live and on its beauties strive,
Joined with the Angle band.

O’er thy grave may roses bloom,
So fresh, so sweet, so fair,
To show that the in silent tomb, 
There rests sweet Frankie there.                 W.

It makes us sad to part with dear innocent children, and we could scarcely be

they are in his arms, and we will say, God gave it to us, and He has taken it 
away, blessed by the name of the Lord.      A.

Nov 7, 1873:
Died, at his residence in Missouri City, on the 12th day of October, 1873, 
James Chanslor, aged 72 years, 10 months and 29 days.
This is the brief record of the end of a virtuous, earnest and peaceful life.  
Born in Mason county, Ky., November 13th, 1800, nearly three quarters of a 
century marked it limit.  Forty years were passed in Clay county.  Coming from 
Kentucky when these fair fields were almost an unbroken wilderness he brought 
with him from that nursery of brave men, those sterling virtues, those manly 
qualities, the stalwart arms, the firm courage, and faithful endurance that 
characterized the hardy pioneer who felled the forests, cleared the fields and 
subdued the stubborn glebe where their descendants now win a sweet and easy 
bread.  and it is not inappropriate here to say that whatever of true vigor, 
earnest purpose, strong and active intellect, indomitable will and devotion to 
principle marks the superior population of Clay county is derived from these 
early fathers.
Of the characters framed and developed in the primitive history of Missouri, 
that of James Chanslor was the type and model.  A farmer who was proud of his 
vocation, careful in his husbandry, he rose as true men always rise, with God’s 
blessing, by the strength of his own right arm from small beginnings to a 
position of ease and power.  With just conceptions of his duty to his country 
and his fellow men, he was a faithful citizen and a generous, hospitable 
neighbor.   He sought no honor save where all honor lies, in acting well his 
part.  His domestic relations, as with men of his modest worth known only to a 
few, are but illustrat4ed by the honorable men and women, his sons and 
daughters, who survive him.  Their characters have been formed under his 
watchful care, supplemented by the faithful, loving, Christian labors of his 
excellent and worthy help-mate who shared his toils and fortunes for nearly 
fifty years.  May they all emulate the virtues of that life so largely and 
generously devoted to others, so that living they may be earnest and useful, 
and dying their fame may be honorable.
With sad hearts he was followed to the grave by wife and children and 
children’s children, affectionate kindred, the neighbors and friends of a life 
time, and the faithful servants who, though scattered far from the old home, 
had come to bid adieu to the kind master and see the good man die.  With such a 
people as fill her borders, it is high but deserved eulogy to say that thus 
peacefully closed, amid the scenes of his usefulness, the career of one of Clay 
county’s best and purest citizens. 
“So fades the summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are o’er,
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies the wave along the shore.”

Died, Oct., 31st, 1873, in the town of Gosneyville, Mrs. Jane Douglas, wife of 
G.W. Douglas.  Mrs. Douglas was in her fifty-ninth year.  Was a kind neighbor 
and a devoted Christian, having been a member of the Methodist church for forty 
years.  Her death will be a bereavement to the community as well as the 
family.

Mo.,) aged 2 years, 7 months and 8 days.

Died, November 1st Charlie Tapp, infant son of P.T. and G. Soper, aged 1 year 
and 28 days.
He’s gone, but oft in memory’s light,
His cherished face will shine,
His plaintive voice be in my ear,
His little hand in mine.

But he’s gone – yes he’s gone
Leaving such a lonely spot,
But ‘tis Jesus who has called him,
We suffer but forbid him not.

And the pure path of virtue trod.

Died, near Gosneyville, Mo., on Friday night, Nov. 15th, 1873, Laura Bell Ross, 
beloved daughter of A.B. and Martha Ross, - aged 2 years, 10 months and 29 days.
Laura Bell has passed away
From earth’s dark, dreary shore,
And ever shall with angels dwell,
Where death shall be no more.
Here are we left to mourn her loss,
Whose form we no more see,
WE no more hear thy gentle voice,
Ah! can it be! must it be?
Yes, we must meekly say, oh God,
Thy will be done as ere before;
Help us to bear affliction’s rod,
And meet to part no more.
