These are typed from photographed copies of many obituaries and death notices that I have in my collection. For many of them there is no indication of what newspaper they came from nor is a year indicated for some of them. Photo copies are sometimes hard to read or are damaged. Also, some of the obits and death notices may not be complete. I will be spending time searching out the complete documents and their location, as well as continuing to search for more obituaries and death notices to add here. I always strive for correctness.

He established himself in business at Leavenworth, Kan., but after two years closed out and went to Colorado to mine gold. After two years in California Gulch, the war broke out and he enlisted in Company C, Second Regiment of the Colorado Cavalry.
His regiment marched all the way from Colorado to Missouri, escorting wagon trains, making skirmishes on Confederate troops and later engaging bushwackers [sic].
They chased Gen. Sterling Price southward to the Arkansas River, engaging his forces in battle at Maraduzani Mine, Creal and Newtonia. Price made a stand at New Taney, where Haller’s horse was shot from under him. The federals retreated and his troop was ordered to Leavenworth, whence it went on a northwestern expedition against Indians.

In 1889 he went to Idaho to live but returned in 1907 and had lived here in retirement since that time. He was commander of the Corporal Dix Post of the Grand Army of the Republic here, which curtailed its meetings about two years ago due to inability of it members to attend. He was a member of the M.

Sudden Death
On Saturday of last week, Jay Otis Hamilton, stepson of Chas. S. Martin, dropped dead of heart disease, while watching his little brothers playing marbles in the dooryard of his home, in this city. The deceased was born in this county, March 31st 1867, and died March 7th 1885, aged 17 years 11 months and 6 days.
For some time he had been in poor health and had just recovered from a severe attack of Pneumonia. His physician knew of his heart trouble and had advised his parents of his precarious condition in this respect, but still they were unprepared for the shock. His father, the late Capt. Jerry Hamilton, died very suddenly of the same disease in Nov. 1878.
The funeral occurred on Sunday following, and a very large concourse of citizens and friends collected at the dwelling to tender their sympathy to the bereaved, and assist in paying the last tribute of respect to the departed. It was an impressive scene as his roommates in the public school with slow and measured step filed into the room where their playmate and friend of the day before, lay, wrapt [sic] in the habiliments of death. With them, he toiled and struggled in the school room for an education to fit him for the duties of life. To him, life was just as sweet as to the sorrowing classmates who mournfully passed his silent bier, but time with his cruel scythe cut him down just as the book of life was opening up to view.
He was beloved by all who knew him, and his presence will not only be missed at home, where he was idolized, but in the public school, the Sunday school and town, where his manliness and sterling worth had won for him an enviable reputation.

Sudden Death
Our community was greatly shocked on Monday evening by the report that Capt. Jerry Hamilton had suddenly dropped dead while sitting in a chair at the supper table. Although not in very good health for some time, Mr. Hamilton was attending his usual duties on Monday, and we noticed him on our streets after noon of that day, apparently as well as usual. In the evening he went home, ate supper, pushed his chair back from the table, remarking that he believed he would call at the residence of his son-in-law, Chas. B. Leach- when his head dropped over and his body fell from the chair to the floor. Dr. Parrish was at once called, but when he arrived Mr. H. was dead. Heart disease is said to have been the cause.
Capt. Hamilton was well and favorably known in Scotland County as one of our best citizens- an upright, honorable, Christian gentleman, respected by all. At the outbreak of the war Capt. H. enlisted in the 21st Missouri infantry, and by faithful service, bravery and efficiency as soldier was gradually promoted to the position of captain of Co. I., of which company he was commander at the close of the war. Mr. H. was one of the proprietors of the Great Western flouring mills at this place. He leaves a wife, four children and many relatives to mourn his loss. Never was the truth of the saying: – “In the midst of life we are in death” – more fully realized than in the sudden and sad death of Captain Hamilton. His remains were followed to their last resting place-Masonic cemetery- on Wednesday, by a large and sympathizing concourse of friends. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community in their severe and peculiarly sad affliction.

3 SUICIDES IN SCOTLAND COUNTY IN PAST WEEK
G. Mudge, Simon Hamiton, S. E. Smiley Shoot Selves
(From Memphis Democrat)
Early Friday morning George Mudge, a prominent farmer, who owned, and lived on what is known as the Shacklett farm, some 5 miles N. W. of Memphis, arose, made the fire in the cook stove, called his wife and the hired girl, took the milk pails, went to the barn, and in a short time, a shot was heard, and his lifeless body was found in a short time after. It seemed that he had cocked the gun and hung the trigger guard over a nail on the gate, and placing the gun to his head, had thus pulled the trigger, the load tearing away the upper portion of his head.
Mr. Mudge came to Scotland County about a year ago, having purchased the Shacklett farm—one of the best improved farms in the community. He was a man well thought of in the neighborhood. It is known now that he was despondent at times and subject to melancholy. Doubtless in one of these moods, he committed the act.
He leaves a wife and four children, a father and mother, the immediate members of his family to mourn his untimely death. His body was shipped Monday to Ottumwa for burial, that city being his former home.
________________________
Saturday afternoon, Simon Hamilton, a button cutter, who lived in West Memphis, shot himself through the head with a rifle, the ball entering his forehead and passing entirely through his head. Ill health is supposed to be the cause of his rash act.
Hamilton was unmarried and lived with his aged parents here. He was about 25 years of age.
_________________________
Stacy E. Smiley, a highly respected citizen of this community, aged about 63 years, committed suicide early on Thursday morning, March 25. He got up before the rest of the family had arisen, built the fire and going to the barn he placed a muzzle of a shotgun in his mouth and discharged the gun by means of a piece of binder twine looped around the trigger and a stick which he evidently stepped on. The family heard the report of the gun and upon investigation found the terribly mutilated body.
Mr. Smiley until the past several months, had always been a levelheaded man of quiet demeanor and cheerful disposition, fond of joking and enjoying lively company, but for some time his family and more intimate friends have noted a depression of spirit and at times loss of mental faculty and other evidences of a deranged mind.
He was intensely patriotic and the fact that he had two sons in the service overseas worried him a great deal. — Downing News.

MRS. S. HANSEN AN OLD RESIDENT DIES IN NEW YORK
It was with sincere regret we are called upon to chronicle the death of an old resident of this city – Mrs. S. Hansen. Although she has been in a critical condition for several months with cancer, yet it was a shock to her many friends in this city when word came of her demise at the home of her neice [sic] in Gloversville, New York, where she had resided the past few months.
For over fifty years she was a resident of Memphis and saw and helped in the moral up building of this city. Because of her christian character she was a factor in this growth. The writer, while on the church board with her, has repeatedly heard her report upon the sick and needy of the town – how she visited the sick and suffering out of the church as well as in, and contributed as well as she could financially toward their recovery, and nursed them and prayed with them. The influence of the life of this christian woman can never be measured on earth, but she is enjoying her reward in Heaven.
After the death of her husband, Mrs. Hansen sold the family home and boarded at the Kinney Hotel until fast failing health caused her to remove to the home in New York. That her heart was here was evident in that she kept in close touch with the happenings among her friends in Memphis.
Dr. Hansen brought the body back to the old home town, Memphis, arriving Friday morning of last week. The undertaker in charge, Mr. J.H. Mulch, met them at the station and conveyed the body to the home of her old friends, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Simington, from where at 2:30 the same afternoon it was taken to the First Methodist Church where her pastor, Dr. Chase, conducted the funeral services.
The pall bearers were Geo. Simon, H.H. Jones, A. Ammerman, H.G. Gillespie, L.C. Combs, and J.J. Zumsteg. Interment was made in the Memphis Cemetery, beside the body of her life companion of so many years.
Catherine Norton, now Mrs. Catherine Hansen, was born May 10, 1840 at Sharon, New York where she grew to womanhood.
In 1864 in Sharon, New York she was married to Sanford Hansen. Two children were born in New York. Florence, the only daughter, died in infancy. In 1869 they moved to Memphis, Missouri and Elmer, their second child died two years later. After a few years another child, Edward, was born, who survives both his parents, living at Pittsburg, Penn. and is a member of the D.O. medical fraternity.
Mr. and Mrs. Hansen made their home in Memphis, Missouri for over fifty years and had been Methodists in early life in New York so immediately upon their arrival here they placed ther [sic] letters in the First M.E. Church of Memphis, Mo.
Mrs. Hansen was for years a steward on the Official Board of the church and occupied many positions of care taking and trust both in the church and P.E.O. society of which she was a member as long as she remained with us.
But the fatal disease which seized its self upon her caused her to seek medical assistance in the state of her birth. Death proved the only relief – She passed to her beautiful home in Heaven, March 15, 1921 in Gloversville, New York.
Our memory of her will ever be, that she was a patient enduring Christian and won her reward through great suffering, by her belief in the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Time conquers all and time we must obey.” “Death that teaches with out a tongue, the lonely emblem of what the bustle of mankind must come to at last. The memorial of the proud, the beautiful, and the brave.” S.G.C.

OBITUARY
Surely a mother in Isreal [sic] has gone to the land of the Blest. Mrs. Catherine Harlan, who passed away on Friday, February 10, was born on June 26, 1839, in Clearfield County, Pa. When she was two years of age she came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Rorabaugh, to Knox County, and later moved to Adair county, where she has lived her long and useful life. She has been a resident of this city since she was thirteen years old. In 1862, she became the wife of William B. Harlan. To them nine children were born: Bessie, Frederick, Lulu, Annie, William, Myrtle, Ada, Mabel, and Hallie, six of whom survive. There are also fifteen grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
In her early girlhood she consecrated her life to the Master, and through her sweet Christian influence her nine children came into the church. Although her hands were so full with the care of her large family she always found time to go with them to Sunday School and church; she did not send them as is the case now with many mothers. She not only cared tenderly for her own, but in her sweet unselfishness she mothered all who came within her reach. Although she was in her 83rd year, and could not walk with ease, she was always glad to go to church, and even a few Sundays before her death she was in her accustomed seat at the Lord’s House. Her religion was her joy in life and her comfort in death. Humbly and lovingly she was ever active in the Master’s cause. She was thoroughly prepared for the summons that called her home, and she sweetly and peacefully went to sleep. “None knew her but to love her.” Her influence will always be felt. Truly, “she being dead yet speaketh.”
Funeral services will be conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. F. Condit, on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the Christian church, which was hers for so many years.

Harle– On Tuesday, the 4th inst., Claudy Fenton, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. James Harle, aged five and one-half months, died.
The Angel of Death has been very busy of late, culling infant plants. The parents and friends, who anxiously watched for weeks the ever returning spasms and struggles of their dear child, brought on by inflammation of the brain, are joyous in the blessed assurance that he is now beyond all pain; at home with the blessed Savior who was once himself the babe of Bethlehem. It is comforting to know that Jesus who took little children in his arms and blessed them while here on earth, is the same gentle shepherd today and gathers the little ones into his arms, and bears them away to the realms of bliss.
The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. T. C. Johnston, of the Congregational church, at the residence of the parents on Wednesday, and was largely attended by sympathizing friends.

OBITUARY
HARRISON.
Mrs. Susan M. Harrison, one of Clark counties [sic] oldest citizens, died Friday morning, June 18, 1909, at 7 a.m., at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Julia E. Randle, in Luray, Mo., at the age of nearly 87 years.
Her death was a sudden and sad shock, for she had been in her usual good health and there was no warning that the end was so near, she being stricken with apoplexy at 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning, and never regaining consciousness.
Death came to her as it should to a noble great-great-grandmother, in the soothing, beautiful form of a gentle sleep, at the close of a long and exemplary life and the sorrow caused by her departure from this life is somewhat lessened by the thought that she did not die but fell asleep with no pain, no worry and no suffering. She had long been prepared for death and had lived a noble christian [sic] life, deserving of every eternal reward promised to those who deserve.
She was one of Clark counties [sic] oldest citizens, having resided in this county continuously for 73 years and was beloved by all who knew her for her kindness of heart and loveable nature. She was attached to home life, a good christian [sic] woman and had hundreds of friends in this vicinity.
At the Old Settlers meeting in Kahoka, in 1906, she received a silver handled, silk umbrella, for being the oldest lady present and at the meeting in 1907 she received a beautiful leather rocking chair for being the oldest lady settler in the county. Both of these articles she prized very highly and took great pleasure in showing them to her friends.
She was a constant reader and read easily without the aid of glasses. In addition to daily papers and other literature she read the New Testament through 43 times since January 1, 1906.
Susan Margaret Murphy was born in Cumberland county, Kentucky, June 25, 1822. She came to Clark county, Missouri, with her parents in 1836, and settled on a farm about two miles north-east of Luray.
She was married to Benjamin Mills in 1840. To this union were born four children, of whom only one, Mrs. Martha Alexander, survives.
Mr. Mills was killed by lightning at a point about two miles north of Luray, Mo., August 6, 1846.
In the fall of 1849 she was married to Jabez Harrison.
Two children were born to this union, Dr. Frank M. Harrison, of Palmyra, Mo., and Mrs. Julia E. Randle, of Luray.
Mr. Harrison was killed in the battle of Athens, August 5, 1861.
She united with the church in early life before leaving Kentucky and has been a steadfast member of the M. E. church living a consistent christian life.

THOS. HARSCH, CIVIL WAR VET. CELEBRATES 94TH BIRTHDAY
St. Francisville–Thomas Harsch, St. Francisville’s oldest citizen and one of the oldest citizens and last remaining Civil War Veteran in Clark county, celebrated his 94th birthday at his home here, June 27th. He was born in Carroll county, Ohio, in 1846, and came to Warsaw, Illinois with his parents, Henry and Emma Harsch, when he was six years old. During the war he served with the 30th Ill. Infantry Co. C. If there are any other veterans living who belong to the same company Mr. Harsch would like to hear from them.
As the Yankees marched through the South they took delight in [unreadable] the darkies who were left working in the fields. The darkies were afraid of them anyway, and they would further increase their fear by calling to them, “Come over and see the Yankee’s horns,” trying to make them believe the Yanks were devilish as reported.
One night they camped near a southern bayou. Fence rails made the fire for their coffee and the water came from the near-by bayou. Coffee and hard tack was the menu, and a welcome one after a long day’s march. But next morning in daylight they discovered the bayou was the burial place of a number of dead horses, so they thanked their stars that at least the water had been boiled in making the coffee. Near Kingston, North Carolina, they engaged in a battle in the woods. They killed the enemy look out and crept silently through the forest in an effort to surprise the men in gray. Finally the officers, standing behind trees heard noises that led them to believe the Southerners were making a counter attack and called to their men, “Boys, I don’t know where they are, but they are coming. Lie down close to the ground.” The men obeyed, but come the Southerners did, under Gen. Forest, with such vengeance they took the northerners captive and led them off to Libby prison on the east coast.
Libby prison was an old tobacco house, sadly lacking in creature comforts, though swarming with small unwanted creatures, and much more fit for the storing of tobacco than storing prisoners. They slept on the floor and meals consisted of corn bread and beans twice a day, which was princely fare, as some of the southern soldiers in the ranks didn’t even get that much at times.
At the end of a week, which Mr. Harsch thought was just a week too long, they were sent to Maryland. There they were ordered to bathe in long wooden trough, like a horse trough, burn their old uniforms in order to cremate the unwanted small creatures. They were also given something to kill the nits to prevent any further unwelcome company and were issued new uniforms.
After spending some time in Maryland 4 prisoners were exchanged at one time, and they were sent to St. Louis. Here they were given a big feed. Coffee was served in enormous quart cups and bread was brought into camp in wagons with the sideboards on.
From St. Louis, Mr. Harsch was allowed to come up the river to Warsaw and finally was mustered out with an honorable discharge from Springfield, Illinois, in 1865.
When he left for the war two girls had given him something to remember them by, and it happened to be the same thing, a ring. They were gold rings with flowers engraved to form a set. While at Libby prison one of the Johnny rebs took a fancy to the rings and demanded “Yank, gimme that ring.”
Now Mr. Harsch had his preference between the two girls so he was careful to give the Johnny the ring given him by the girl he liked the less. And when he returned to Warsaw he wooed and won the other girl who had given him a ring. Mary Case and married her in September, 1865.
In those days not even a license was required so all they needed to do was just find a justice of the peace. After their marriage they went to housekeeping on a farm in Clark Co. and Mr. Harsch has lived in the county ever since, 75 years, which is longer than some who spend their entire lifetime in the county.
Mrs. Harsch died several years ago, but Mr. Harsch continues to live in their old home here. His memory is clear and he retains his other faculties to a remarkable degree for his age.

Marguerite Ellen Hastings, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hastings, was born June 23, 1896, and death claimed her Oct. 9, 1899.
Little Maggie had suffered for weeks from a severe burn. She seemed to suffer more than any grown person could, yet bore it all heroically for a little child. She was often heard to say, “When the roll is called up yonder.” Everything was done for the little sufferer that could be done by loving hearts.
The funeral was conducted at the C. P. Church, in Gorin, by the writer, text, Luke 18:16, “Suffer little children to come unto me.” We placed her in a white coffin among white flowers and autumn leaves and the calm and peaceful expression on her face said she had heard the “roll call” and was at rest. After a short but impressive service we took her earthly remains to Bear Creek cemetery and laid them down to rest. The parents have the sympathy of many hearts.
C. H. Whitehead.

James Hawkins Fractured Skull
Falls From Ladder Monday Morning Causing Death the same Evening. – Funeral Yesterday
James Hawkins; an old and well known painter of this city fell from a step ladder in front of Zumsteg Bros. drug store about 11:45 o’clock last Monday and received injuries from which he died at 10 o’clock p.m. that night.
Mr. Hawkins, who was a man about 70 years of age, has of late been in rather poor health and the general opinion is that a spell of dizziness overcame him causing him to fall heavily to the concrete walk. The back of his head was crushed and he never regained consciousness.
Dr. Platter was summoned and assisted by several by standers the man was carried to the rear room of the drug store where his injuries were cared for. Upon examination it was found that the skull was fractured and blood was flowing in a stream from ear. After cleansing the wound the injured man was placed in Vic Chaney’s express wagon and taken to the Joseph Forbes residence in the east part of town where he was given every possible attention.
Deceased was a lifelong resident of this locality. He was a splendid painter and was a man of more than ordinary intelligence being a constant reader of newspapers and periodicals of different kinds. He was kind-hearted and as in the case of Jay Forman he was worse to himself than to anyone else. He was an old veteran and those who knew him in the “sixties” say he was a good soldier.
Early in life Mr. Hawkins united with the Methodist Church and though he did not live a consistent life yet he was a frequent attendant at the church services and seemed to greatly appreciate the privileges of hearing the gospel. On account of the contemplated departure of Rev. Gale for his new home Rev. C. H. Morton, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, conducted a brief service at the Forbes home in east Memphis after which the remains were tenderly laid to rest in Memphis Cemetery. After the service at the house the members of the Grand Army took charge of the body.
So far as known Mr. Hawkins had no relatives in this locality so the painters of the city made it a point to see that he had a respectful burial – the pall bearers being fellow painters.

EARL HAYS CRUSHED WHILE WORKING ON AUTO AT HOME MONDAY
Earl Hays was crushed to death beneath the rear of a car at his home northeast of Memphis Monday afternoon about 2 o’clock.
Hays and George Garrett, a neighbor, were removing the drive shaft of the Hays car, a 1929 Chevrolet, preparing to put in a new flywheel.

Was About Through Work
Hays told him he was almost through taking out the last bolt, when suddenly the 2×8 snapped in two. Hays was lying on his right side, facing the west when the car fell.
Hays had his arms raised under the car and when it fell, it struck his side just below the left arm.
Garrett stated that he heard Hays say: “Lift it up, it is getting heavier.” Garrett attempted to lift the car by the rear bumper enough take some of the weight off of Hays and at the same time called several times to Mrs. Hays. He, with Mrs. Hays, managed to raise the car with the block and tackle until Mr. Hays could be removed.
Neighbors were summoned an Dr. A. M. Keethler was called but Hays was died when he arrived. In a few minutes Bill Gardner and Don Gardner, Wm. Briggs, Jess Armstrong and son and Glen Martin, all neighbors, were at the Hays home.
