MARYVILLE INDEX July 24, 1878
Wednesday, July 24, 1878



The case of John Lakey, murderer of Samuel Hall, came up Saturday, and Lakey

waived examination, was sent to jail to await trial.



We regret to chronicle the death of another young lady known to many of our

readers. Miss. Eugenia B. Roberson, in the 16th year of her age, fell asleep

last Thursday night, at Jasper, Marion County, at 11 o’clock P.M. She had been

in feeble health for some time, and was hardly expected to dwell long upon

Earth, but yet her friends were not prepared to receive the sad intelligence

so soon. The family had left Maryville only a few days before, and were on

their way to their old home in Sequatchie Valley. They stopped with relatives

in Jasper, and there Miss. Eugenia’s death took from the parents their only

child. A host of friends in Maryville mourn her departure, and extend to the

bereaved parents their heartfelt sympathies.



Died, of typhoid fever, on last Monday night, at her father’s residence near

Carpenter’s Campground, Blount County, Miss. Sarah U. Moore. With a strong

faith in her Savior she quietly fell asleep. The deceased was an earnest

laborer in the Sabbath School and prayer meeting. She leaves a large circle of

friends to mourn her loss.



Died near Miser’s Station, Blount County, Tenn., July 8th, 1878, Alexander

Phanoyah, youngest son of R.A. and Calidona Phelps, aged 5 years, 9 months and

8 days. The subject of this notice is truly one of great sympathy. Fifty-six

hours before his death he was enjoying himself, climbing a small sapling, when

suddenly he was thrown to the ground by the breaking of a limb that he was

standing on, falling upon a sharp snag which entered his bowels on the left

side, after which he walked a distance of 150 or 200 yards, holding his bowels

that had protruded through the wound. Medical aid being procured, his bowels

were replaced and the wound dressed, and for a time he seemed to do well. But,

alas! The moment came when the almost heart-broken parents had to bid their

beloved child farewell for a little season, which has almost taken the life of

the mother. I would say to the bereaved parents, weep no longer for your dear

child, for he has gone home to Jesus, who can take better care of him than

earthly parents. I heard him utter his last words, which were, “My Heavenly

Father, come, oh, come!”



A rose may bud and bloom today,

With love and virgin beauty crowned;

But ere tomorrow’s sun is set,

‘Tis fairly crushed and broken down.



The present may be calm and clear,

No chilling frost, no cloud be near,

But ere another day shall come

A raging storm may gather in.



Almight God protect those left,

And guide them in the narrow path,

That when the tolls of life are o’er,

We all shall meet on Canaan’s shore.





N.T. Krous, M.D.
