Death of Jerome B. Squires at Windsor - The Tribune very much regrets to learn 
of the death of its old friend, Mr. Jerome B. Squires at his home in Windsor, which 
occurred on Tuesday, the 6th at noon. He had been suffering from a serious 
ailment for a number of years, and was confined to his bed a couple of weeks. He 
leaves a wife and three children; Mrs. Dr. B. B. Barr, of Clinton; Mrs. Lud Churchill, 
of Vinita, I.T., and William of Windsor. His remains were laid to rest in Laurel 
Oak cemetery at Windsor on Thursday morning. The deceased was an esteemed 
citizen, a devoted husband and father, and had a host of friends, who will 
sympathize with the family in their deep bereavement. Mr. Squires was 64 years 
of age last March. He was born in Tebo township, and was the son of Colonel Geo. 
W. Squires, one of the most prominent of the early settlers of this county, having 
located near Calhoun in 1835. At the age of 18 years Jerome Squires became a 
salesman in the mercantile establishment of James Atkinson at Warsaw, who 
conducted both a jobbing and retail business. Warsaw then done the largest 
business of any town in Southwest Missouri. In 1865 he was engaged in business 
at Sedalia, and in 1867 he began business in Calhoun; later he formed a 
copartnership with J. O. Edmondson, now of Kansas City. He engaged in farming 
for awhile near Calhoun, sold out, bought a fine farm near Shawnee Mound and 
engaged in the mercantile business at that place. After selling out there he 
removed to Windsor, where he engaged in business, but finally retired on account 
of failing health. In 1861 he was married to Miss Henrietta McNeeley of Benton 
county. He was genial, kind and obliging, and was always popular and successful 
in business. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity for many years, his 
parent lodge being No. 184, Calhoun.
