VIOLETTE, Edward 1800 - 1887

Clinton MO, Nov 12 1887 - About four weeks ago, Edward Violette was here on a 
visit to his son, Thomas and when he returned home was feeling better than for 
months; but in a few days after his arrival he sent for the Methodist minister and 
together they talked of the future, Mr. Violette at that time not being a member 
of any church, though he said, "I have been a Christian but a few days and have 
made my peace with my maker and am ready to go." And on Nov. 4, 1887, his 
labors ceased and the portals of heaven opened to receive him. Before his death, 
he called to his wife to bring out some relics he had not revealed the history 
thereof, which had been handed down for generations, consisting of covers and 
spoons. Altho the quilts are over 150 years old, they are in good state of 
preservation and will outwear those made at the present day. The spoons are 
about 200 years old. The relics were divided between Thomas Violette of this 
city and a brother at Versailles and are highly prized. He was born May 1, 1800 at 
Harper's Ferry, Va. and at an early age moved to Logan county, Ky. In 1844, he 
came to this state and settled in Johnson county where he has since resided. 
Leaves a wife, aged 72, and 7 children. Burial in the Blackwater graveyard, 13 
miles north of Holden, Sunday afternoon.


VIOLETTE, Irene May 1883 - 1887

Clinton, MO - On last Monday afternoon, Irene, little 4 1/2 year old girl of Mr. and 
Mrs. T. H. Violette, breather her last, with diphtheria. Sunday she went to Sunday 
School but complained some during the day. Alas, He who doeth all things well in 
a few hours called the little angle to her home in heaven. Burial in Englewood.
