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.

DROWNS WHILE FISHING IN CHARITON
Raymond Zeigler, 29, Victim When boat Overturned About 6 O’clock Last Night
Raymond Zeigler, 29 years old, of 515 E. Elm street, drowned in the Chariton river about 6 o’clock yesterday evening when a boat overturned while he and a companion were running a trout-line about one-fourth mile south of the bridge on Highway No. 11, southwest of Kirksville. The body was recovered shortly before 9 o’clock last night by men who used hooks on lines.
Zeigler and Ralph Simler had several lines in the river and had spent some time looking at the lines further down the river and were running the last one when the accident occurred. According to Simler’s story to officers, they were in mid-stream when they started to bring up a fish that had become hooked on the line. As they reached out, the boat started to overturn, throwing both of them into the deep water. He said they both went under and as they came up, Zeigler, who is said to have been a good swimmer, suggested that they swim to the bank. Upon arriving at the bank, Simler looked around to see if Zeigler was coming, and he had disappeared. Simler summoned aid and search for the body was begun. Using two boats, the searchers dragged the bottom of the deep hole and finally hooked it at about five or six feet from the place where the men had been thrown into the water, according to State Highway Patrolman Walt Snyder who was in one of the boats.
Zeigler was born near Youngstown, on Sept. 16, 1916, a son of Harry and Ocie Linder Zeigler. He had lived in Kirksville several years and at one time worked for the Producers Creamery and later operated a truck of his own. Recently he has been employed as operator of a bulldozer and had been working in the southwest part of the county. Funeral service will be held at the Dee Riley Funeral Home, Friday morning at 11 o’clock conducted by the Rev. W. R. Kornegay, pastor of the Nazarene Church. Interment will be in the Maple Hills Cemetery.
He was married to Miss Frances Summers on Aug. 28, 1938 Kirksville, and to them one son was born. Besides his wife and son, Stephen Raymond, age 5, he is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Zeigler of Novinger, one brother, Beryl of LaPlata, and one sister, Mrs. Jack (Leora) Dabney of Kirksville.
The body will lie in state at the Dee Riley Funeral Home. The casket will be closed at the beginning of the memorial hour.
The pallbearers will be, Arthur Rummerfield, Eddie Larkin, Maurice Drury, Marcellus Johnson, Everett Zeigler and Carl Bragg.

S.C. ZEIGLER, 90, CIVIL WAR VETERAN, DIES
Succumbs to Paralytic Stroke; Funeral to be Held Thursday
Samuel Clark Zeigler, 90, who went through over four years of soldiering in the Civil War without receiving a closer call than a bullet scratch on the knuckle of his left forefinger, died at the home of his son, George, east of Kirksville in the Bullion vicinity yesterday afternoon about 3:30.
He had been in a serious condition since he was stricken with paralysis last week.

Smith, pastor of the Baptist church, at the funeral home Thursday morning at 11 o’clock and burial will be made in the Ownbey cemetery.
Mr. Zeigler was born in Columbian county, Ohio, Sept. 27, 1842, a son of Harrison and Elizabeth Whalen Zeigler, natives of Pennsylvania. The family moved to Missouri when he was 10 years old, making the trip down the Ohio river and up the Mississippi to Hannibal. Remaining there for 18 months, the migration was continued to Scotland county from where they came to Adair county in the fall of 1860 and settled near Pure Air.
Young Zeigler enlisted at Kirksville on August 1, 1861, at the age of 17, in Company A, Twenty-second Missouri Infantry. An older brother, J. A. Zeigler, enlisted later, also came through the war unscathed and settled in Kansas where he died a few years ago.
Company A spent the first winter at Macon and then moved to Marshall, Mo., where they stayed during the summer of 1862. Quarters were established in tents along Spring River during the winter.
Mr. Zeigler was in the Battle of Prairie Grove in Arkansas on Dec. 7, 1862, where he received the bullet scratch on his finger. There rebels captured 112 men of his troop but he happened to be riding a fast horse and escaped. He participated in the capture of Little Rock and in skirmishes at Pea Ridge, Wilson Creek and other places.
“I was always up in the morning and ready for duty,” he said. “I never attended sick call but three mornings during my entire four years in the army.”
He was mustered out Sept. 5, 1865 at Pine Bluff, Ark., and came back to Adair county to farm. Miss Ardilla P. Bozarth, who died 44 years ago, became his bride in July 1867 and to them were born four children, two of whom are now living. James A. Zeigler died in Kansas City over a year ago and Mrs. Frances Maud Millikin died in Grand Island, Neb. Seven years after Mrs. Zeigler’s death, he was married again to Mrs. Ida Mae Moss and three children were born to them, all of whom survive. Mrs. Zeigler died five years ago, Dec. 16.
Surviving Mr. Zeigler are four sons, Calvin C., Oklahoma City; William J., Novinger; Gail, Kirksville; and George H., of near Kirksville; and one daughter, Mrs. A. R. Eschmann, Novinger. Calvin Zeigler was expected in Kirksville today.

The Keokuk Gate City gives the following account of the suicide of Mrs. Myrtle Zimmerman, formerly of Gorin: “Mrs. Edward E. Zimmerman, of Fort Madison, committed suicide Wednesday, after a little love spat with her husband at the dinner table. She was a bride of seven months and was reared at Gorin, Missouri.
“The husband is a fireman on the Santa Fe railroad, and a sister of Mrs. Zimmerman and a boarder were present at the table when some trifling misunderstanding occurred. The sister and the boarder thought the bandying of words was funny, considering them joking or a little love spat between the bride and groom of a few months.
“The wife left the room and soon returned to say a last word or two. Then she went into another room and through the open door her sister saw her put a vial to her lips.
“The sister ran to the wife and tried to take the bottle away, but before she succeeded Mrs. Zimmerman had drunk all the contents except about a teaspoonful. The sister screamed for help and a physician was summoned.
“Mrs. Zimmerman was unconscious by the time the doctor arrived, and died after lingering from noon until 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Her parents at Gorin were telegraphed and went to Ft. Madison on the first train.
“Mrs. Zimmerman was only twenty years old and was born in Scotland County, Missouri. She was Miss Myrtle Wiley. Besides her husband she is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. Wiley, of Gorin, and two sisters, Mrs. O. D. Matlick and Miss Nettie Wiley, also of Gorin.”

Tribute of Chicago Typographical Union to Chauncey H. Zugg
CHICAGO, MARCH 11, 1902.
Editor Gillespie, Reveille, Memphis, Mo., Dear Sir: –It is my sad duty to inform you of the death of Mr. Chauncey H. Zugg, son of Mr. E. S. Zug, of your city, which occurred in Chicago, on Feb. 22. Mr. Zugg was an employe of the Inter Ocean composing room for more than ten years and in his varied experience as a craftsmen [craftsman] had worked in the principal cities of the country. He was noted in life as possessing those traits typical of his calling, intelligence of a high order, kindness toward and sympathy for his fellows, firm in in [sic] his convictions of duty, and skill of the very highest order as a workman.
To know Chauncey H. Zugg was to recognize a man in every sense of the term and his loss will be deeply felt in the hearts of his fellow workers. His funeral service was conducted under the auspices of the Chicago Typographical Union, No. 16, the organization of which Mr. Zugg was an honored member since coming to Chicago. The interment was in the printers’ plot at Elmwood cemetery, the exercises embracing the accustomed mortuary ritual incident to a union printer’s sepulture. The remains were followed to their final rest by a large number of his fellow workers, who added to the testimony of the respect in which Mr. Zugg was held by placing several floral tributes on the grave. M. H. Madden.

DIED.
Miss Jessie I. Zugg died of consumption at her home in the east part of this city, Friday afternoon, August 14, 1896, after a few months illness, aged 15 years, 2 months and 28 days.
Deceased was just budding into womanhood when she was stricken with the merciless disease. During her entire illness she had the benefit of the best medical skill in the city and the watchful and tender care of loved ones at home, but it was of no avail. Every known remedy was tried but the insidious disease kept advancing until it claimed its victim. She was comely, bright and loving and her future seemed full of hope and promise. A few months ago she was the very embodiment of health and was constant in her attendance at the Sunday School. No one dreamed that such a fair flower would be transplanted in a few brief months but “but God’s finger touched her and she slept.” Her premature death brings a deep sorrow to the family and they have the sincere sympathy of the entire community. Rev. John Gillies conducted the funeral services at the family residence last Saturday after which the body was tenderly laid to rest in the cemetery near the family home.

Six-Year-Old Son Of Mr. And Mrs. J.J. Zumsteg Dies Sun.
Edwin Arthur, six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Zumsteg, died at their home in this city, Saturday, Nov. 30, at 11:50 p.m.
Since birth Edwin Arthur has been subject at times to convulsions and many times had been at death’s door, but always in the past had had strength enough to outfight it. This time his strength was not sufficient and God touched him and he slept. He had been ailing only a few days, so his death came as a crushing blow to his parents and their friends.
This little lad was bright, attractive and a general favorite among his playmates. He was a child that would attract your attention, as he was full of life and spirit and bright for his age, and his death will be felt not only among the relatives, but by the many friends of the parents.
Funeral services were held at cemetery at 2:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 2, conducted by Dr. C. J. Case, pastor of the First M.E. Church.
