Obituaries & Death Notices “Hu-Hy”

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.

L. E. HUDSON CALLED BY DEATH AFTER ILLNESS OF PNEUMONIA

Dr. Lute Hudson died at his home in this city Tuesday morning at about 6:30 o’clock, of pneumonia.  For several years Lute was a sufferer with stomach trouble, and physically was in poor condition to have the flu.  His weakened condition made him an easy victim for the pneumonia into, which it developed.

He was one of Memphis’ progressive young business men who gave freely of his time and money to promote anything which would benefit his home town and community.  He was a likable man and he had many close friends.  In his death not only the family, but the whole community mourns, for he possessed the qualities which made him a friend to all.

LITTLE KATHERINE HUDSON DIES ON CHRISTMAS DAY

It is with deep regret that we chronicle the death of Katherine only child of Mrs. Ferol Hudson, who passed away on Christmas day, after a week’s illness from a severe attack of diptheria [sic].

Katherine was about eight years of age and was an unusually bright and interesting child.  She was of an affectionate disposition and to know her was to love her.  In the home she was idolized.  She and her mother were ninseparable [sic] “pals”, and her taking away is a crushing blow to Mrs. Hudson.

From the time the child was first stricken she was very ill but for several days preceeding [sic] her death her condition appeared better and her physicians and nurse were hopeful of her recovery.  A sudden collopse [sic] of the heart on Christmas morning caused her life to ebb out.

Funeral services were held on Sunday at 2 p.m., the services being private on account of the nature of the disease.

This paper joins friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved mother and other members of the family.

“Of such is the kingdom of God”

Mary Katherine Hudson, beloved daughter of Ferol Bourn Hudson, was born in Memphis, Mo., February 18, 1912, and passed from the arms of her family into the arms of Jesus December 25, 1920, age eight years, ten months and seven days.  Besides a broken hearted mother and many grieving relatives who adored her, she leaves a host of kind loving friends to mourn her early passing.

Brief funeral services were conducted at her home, the residence of her grandmother by Rev. Jno. L. Lawson at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 26, 1920.  A quartette composed of Messrs. D. W. Payne, Mr. Bertram, J. C. Woodsmall, and Lee R. Briggs sang two songs.  After the services the little body was laid to rest in Masonic Cemetery.  The pall bearers were Phillip Payne, Hillis R. Leslie, Harley Clark and Wade H. Critz.

This little one had experienced varied and unusual, for one of her tender years, had had many homes, and by her many graces of mind and character twined herself about the hearts of those who had loved and provided for her in such a way that the serving of earthly ties has left them almost desolate.  But her beautiful little life, so full of happiness and brightness has left behind an enfluence [sic] that forbids a dium [sic] for other than higher and better things.  God gave her and she blessed the world for a brief period and God took her.

Austin Hughes died of injuries received by a fall, at his home in this city Monday night, March 9, 1896 after a lingering illness, aged 84 years, 7 months and 4 days.

Deceased was born August 5, 1811 in Nicholas county, Kentucky.  His father removed to Nelson county, Kentucky during his boyhood and he remained a resident of that county until his thirty-ninth year when he moved to McDonough county, Illinois.  Seven years later he moved to Clark county, Missouri, and in the spring of 1868 he moved to this county where he had since resided.  He united with the M. E. Church, South, at about the age of 28 afterward changing his membership to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1871 or 1872.  He was married to his now bereaved wife in 1858 and leaves her and the children and a large circle of warm personal friends to mourn his death.  He was one of the cleanest, purest and most affable old gentlemen we ever met.  His great heart beat in sympathy for all of his fellowmen and to know him and be accounted his friend was an honor to any man.  It seems sad that such a genial and kindly spirit should be taken away.  But he had long since put his house in order and was ready for the final summons.  Heaven’s gate is always ajar to receive the spirits of those who trust in the Lord and no one doubts that Father Hughes had a triumphant entrance.  The funeral services were held at the family residence Tuesday afternoon, Rev. R. A. Williams officiating, after which the body was laid to rest in the cemetery.

R. W. Humphrey Hit by Plane Propellor at San Diego, Calif

Richard Walker Humphrey, 31 years of age, a former Kirksville boy and son of Mrs. Jo Walker Humphrey, former dean of women at the Kirksville State Teachers College, was killed in an airplane accident at North Island, Coronado, Calif., yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock.

Young Humphrey, who held the rank of Aviation Chief Petty Officer, was probably the youngest aviation chief in the United States Navy.  His ship, the Enterprise, was stationed at North Island. A suburb of San Diego.  The accident which caused his death occurred when he was struck by an airplane propeller while attempting to start an engine.  His job was to handle planes as they came down and left the field.  The force at the field had been reduced and the men were doubling up on the work.

Dick Humphrey left Kirksville in 1926 with his mother.  He joined the navy in 1927, and would have been able to retire in 1947.  His mother said today that he enjoyed his work thoroughly.

Besides his mother, who now lives at Columbia, he leaves his widow and a five-year-old son, Richard, Jr.  He also leaves one sister, Natalie, now Mrs. Bernard G. Mattison, Jr., of Evanston, Ill.

His mother came to Kirksville this afternoon for a brief visit with her sister, Mrs. J. S. Stokes, and left at 5:29 for San Diego.  Her nephew, Roland Stokes, who lives at La Crescenda, Cali., went to Coronado as soon as he learned of the accident.

Mrs. Humphrey said this afternoon that no funeral arrangements had been made, but Richard often said that he hoped to be buried in the naval cemetery at Point Loma, a point of land across San Diego Bay, a beautiful cemetery, but she was not sure that this could be arranged.

The family address in Coronado is 711 Fifth Street.

Died of Cancer

Mrs. Sarah Hunt, wife of Silas Hunt, living at or near Gorin, died of cancer last Thursday, after a long and painful illness.  Deceased taught school in this county many years and was well and favorably known in all sections where she had taught.  Six or eight years ago she married Silas Hunt, an old resident who lived near Hazelville for nearly a third of a century.  After their marriage they located at or near Gorin where they continued to reside up to the time of her death.  Her maiden name was Sarah Neel and she will be remembered by that name better than by Mrs. Hunt.  Everything that medical skill could do was done in order to save her life, but all efforts of this kind proved unavailing.  A noted surgeon was called a few weeks before her death with a view of having an operation performed, and after a careful examination he said to attempt to cut out the cancer would cause death during the operation, but by performing a partial operation it would prolong life a few weeks.  The latter course was adopted and she lived several weeks thereafter.  She was an estimable lady and will be missed and mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends.

KILLED AT CROSSING

MOTOR TRAIN STRIKES DAN C. HUSTEAD’S CAR TUESDAY MORNING

Dan C. Hustead, well known farmer living north of Arbela, was instantly killed Tuesday morning about 10:30 o’clock when his car was struck by the west bound motor train at the grade crossing a few feet north of the Memphis cemetery.

Funeral services were conducted at the Arbela Baptist church this afternoon at 2 o’clock by Rev. Eugene Douglas, the pastor.  Interment was in Hickory Grove cemetery.  Pall bearers were Leland Dannenhauer, Earl Drake, Charles Jackson, Clark Dye, Fred Jones and Miles Epperson.

Hustead was enroute to Memphis, turned north at the cemetery hill and started over the road which was used as a detour last year while highway No. 4 was being built south of Memphis.  Some people still use the old detour road as it comes straight into the square at the northeast corner.

The motor train struck the car apparently about the center and Hustead was thrown out.  The car was thrown to the northwest of the grade crossing and came to rest with all four wheels in the air.  Hustead’s body was several feet northwest of the car.

The motor train stopped, some of the passengers got off and stayed at the scene of the wreck.  The train came on to the station.  Agent G. E. Smith was notified and the train backed to the crossing.

Smith notified Sheriff Clyde Evans and coroner L. R. Sherrill.  Evans went to the wreck and was among the first to reach Hustead’s body.

Hustead’s body was removed to the Gerth & Baskett funeral home.  The 1928 Chevrolet sedan which Hustead was driving, was demolished.

Hustead’s car was thrown against the railroad crossing sign on the north side of the track, tearing the sign from its concrete base.  The top of the car was entirely gone and the front seat torn completely out of the car.

In 1934 Mr. Hustead was the Republican nominee for Representative in the state legislature and was defeated by Chas. H. Overhulser.

The drivers license in Hustead’s car gave his age as 57.  He was born in Scotland county on April 21, 1888, and was a veteran of world War I.

Mr. Hustead is survived by one brother, Guy Hustead of Cantril, and two sisters, Mrs. Robert Biggs and Mrs. Reuben Hohstadt, both of the Arbela neighborhood.  Mr. Hustead was never married.

In charge of the motor train were Conductor Everett Fry and Motorman Frank Kelly, both of Centerville, Iowa.

Coroner’s Verdict

A coroner’s inquest was held at the Gerth & Baskett store at 4:15 yesterday afternoon.  The coroner’s jury was composed of Henry Wineinger, foreman: O. S. Mustoe, Don Riney, Dale Norton, Chas. G. Russell and Clyde Webb.

Three witnesses were examined by Coroner Sherrill — Sheriff Clyde Evans, Dr. A. M. Keethler and Fred Gerth.  The testimony of the witnesses was virtually the same as published in the story above.  The testimony was taken down by Miss Margie Blaine, stenographer.

The verdict was as follows:

“We, the coroner’s jurors, find that Daniel Hustead, late of Scotland county, Missouri, came to his death by means of being struck by Passenger Train No. 1, west bound, C. B. & Q. at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 26, 1949. –Henry L. Wineinger, Foreman.”

Died – On the 25^th day of March 1876 Phoebe A. Hyde wife of W. H. Hyde in the 36^th year of her life.  After a sever and painful illness of about seven hours death came to her relief.  She was a dutiful wife and a kind and affectionate mother, she leaves a husband and seven small children and many friends to mourn her loss, but we feel well assured that our loss is her gain.  She was mild and lovely while here, but oh, her morning sun has gone down at noon time and we can only say “The Lords will be done” not ours.

Deceased experienced a change of heart and joined the Methodist Church at the age of 12 years, and lived a faithful consistent member from that time until called to join the Church Triumphant in Heaven.

OBITUARY

William H. Hyde, the son of Stephen and Rebecca Hyde, was born in Athens county, Ohio, March 10, 1837.  He departed this life November 10, 1921, aged 84 years and eight months.

In 1854 he with his parents moved to Iowa, and in a few months moved to Scotland County Missouri, locating north of Memphis, where for sixty years he lived and labored to make Scotland County and Northeast Missouri a better place to live.

A loyal citizen, he was ever to be found in front ranks standing four square for righteousness.

Early in life at the age of nineteen he professed faith in Christ and consecrated his life to Him who said, “All Souls Are Mine”.  He joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1856 in which he labored zealously.  Was one of the founders of the M. E. Church at Brock, Mo.  Later he transferred his membership to the Methodist Protestant Church at Bethel and remained true and faithful until the summons to come home.

In 1861 when our Country was torn asunder by internal strife, he bid the bride of a few months goodbye and volunteered in the defense of the Union, enlisting in Co. I, 21^st Mo. Regiment, serving from 1861 until 1866, was with Sherman in his march to the sea; was mustered out of the service in 1866 his command having been held in the south for a considerable time after the closing of the war.  After receiving his honorable discharge, he returned to Scotland County and the wife and the home he had so nobly defended.

On March 24, 1861, he was united in marriage to Miss Phobie [sic] Edwards.  To this union were born seven children, all of whom are living.

March 25, 1876, the wife and mother passed over the Jordan of death into the home of the soul, there to await the coming of there [sic] loved ones.

In September 1876, he married Mrs. Mary Curtis, who preceded him in death. 

Brother Hyde had been afflicted for several months but bore his suffering patiently, never complaining of affliction’s hand being heavy.  It was the privilege of the writer to visit him in the old home and worship with him at the family alter, erected by him in his early life, where his companion and children had so often worshiped with him.

He lived on his farm where he had lived and raised his children until last August when he went to his daughter’s home, Mrs. Rudy where he stayed until recently when he went to his son, Reuben’s home where his father located when he first came to Scotland County in 1856.

There, midst the scenes of boyhood days, where his father and mother, brothers and sisters lived in happeness [sic] and love, the long and useful life came to an end.

Two sisters and one brother proceded [sic] him in death.

He leaves to mourn their loss, six sons and one daughter, William Hyde of Cantril, Iowa; Mrs. Esther Rudy, Walter, Horace and Reuben of Memphis; Edgar of Milton, Iowa; Dr. Frank Hyde of Eminence, Missouri; two step-sons, Dr. J. A. Curtis of Memphis, and Dr. H. B. Curtis of Kansas City, Missouri; three brothers, David of Fort Madison, Iowa; Jasper of Monticello, Missouri; and Daniel of Bowen, Ill.; twenty-six grand children and five great grandchildren, together with a host of other relatives and friends.
