| 609 | Escapes From County Jail By Picking Locks On Window Leland Carpenter last night proved himself to be a very ingenious gentleman. Using nothing but a piece of teaspoon and a short piece of wire, he picked two locks, securing the barred widow of his cell in the county jail, lowered himself to the roof of the small porch on the east side, and dropped 15 feet to the ground. This happened some time last night and thus far there is no trace of the fugitive. He left the instruments used in making his escape, but carried the locks away with him. Carpenter, who is charged with bigamy, was confined in the debtors cell, which is a room by itself on the eat side of the upper corridor. He was thus isolated because of being afflicted with a loathsome blood disease. It was the same cell in which John Christmus, colored wife murderer, spent his last days before being executed in October, 1921. Sheriff Gray this morning, mailed out a description of the fugitive to police of all neighboring cities. Here it is: Age, 19; height, five feet 6 1/2 inches; complexion, fair; hair, dark brown; tip of middle finger on left hand missing; occupation, automobile mechanic; wore gray carp, ligh shirt, dark gray trousers and black Oxfords.

| 639 | Finding Our Wooden Shoes: My Cozine family, history and album with genealogy, pt.1-2 Law suit Judgement Garret Cozine versus Jesse Gritton &c Circuit Court, Mercer County, KY Box C #91. Bill Filed Nov 15, 1832 (Abstracts taken from paper in this suit by Mrs. Alma Ray Ison, Harrodsburg Historical Society. Garrett Cozine represents to the Judge of the Mercer Circuit Court that on the 2nd day of June in the year 1823, his (1st) son Cornelius Cozine borrowed from Jesse Gritton $100 in notes of the bank of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for which he executed his note with your orator Garret Cozine as security. On the 2nd day of June 1824, in substitution and renewal of said note, the said Cornelius with your orator as security executed another note for $110. This same procedure was continued for several years. On the second day of June 1825, the renewal note was in the amount of $121. All notes were payable in twelve months. In 1826 the renewal note amount to $133. In 1827 it was $146.30. In 1828 it amounted to $160.90 and in 1829 the amount of the renewal note was $176.90. On June 2nd 1830 in substitution and renewal of said note, it was made to John L. Demutt in the amount of $181.32 and due in three months after date. In three months time this was renewed and made payable to John L. Demutt for the sun of $189.37 (Other papers in the suit give the explanation that Jesse Gritton was acting as guardian of Demutt (or Demott) and the money being loaned out belonged to Demott’s heirs. (Apparently John L. Demott had reached maturity by 1830 and the payment was to be made directly to him.) On the 2nd day of February 1831, in payment and substitution of the last note executed, Garret Cozine with his (2nd) son John as his surety executed to Jesse Gritton another note for the sum of $200 payable in twelve months. (Other papers and documents in the suite bring out the fact that the Cozines had been unable to make payment of part of it to Demott and they had Jesse Gritton to pay Demott for them and signed a note made out to him.) Jesse Gritton instituted action against the Cozines in Sept. 1832 term of the court to try to collect the note. A judgement was rendered by default for the full amount of the note plus interest and cost. Garrett Cozine is asking the court to restrain from executing the judgement rendered until he has presented reasons why he thinks the amount of the debt should be less than adjudged to be due. Garrett Cozine claims and charges that the value of notes of the Commonwealth Bank of Kentucky in 1823 were worth only 50 cents on the dollar, that the $200 note grew out of the commonwealth bank paper. He charges that the two notes executed to John L. Demutt were to use and benefit of Jesse Gritton. He further says he paid the sum of $9 on the note by rendering services to the father of Jesse Gritton. He claims that according to the principles of equity she should not be compelled to pay more than ^% interest on the original loan, subject to a cred of $9. Deposition of Cornelius Cozine (1st son of Garrett) Mar 31, 1833 (This is included in the papers of the suit but was disallowed for evidence because of his interest in the suit.) He says that in the year 1823, he borrowed from Jesse Gritton the amount of $100 for which he executed a note with his father Garret Cozine as his surety. The note was in the handwriting of D.C. Bergen and was witnessed by Bergen. The bank notes were counted and handed to him by Jesse Gritton. He went first to Mr. Gritton to borrow the money but was told by hm that I would have to have my father’s signature on the note in order to get the money. My father Garret Cozine became paymaster for the note and executed his own note in place of mine. Other miscellaneous information found: George Cozine (4th son of Garret) made deposition in which he said he was present when the money was given to Cornelius Cozine (his brother) in Mr. Head’s Store in Harrodsburg. He knows that my father went on the note as security. Garret Terhune said that Mr. Gritton wanted specie (coined money) in return for the bank notes that were borrowed. The note was written for dollars. Jesse Gritton said that he was guardian for John and Anne Demott, infants, that he had loaned his wards money and the law required him to add interest to principal and reloaned it each year. He denies that Garret Cozine had paid him nine dollars as he claims. He says Cozine set up such claim because of doctoring his father’s back ache. He further says that Garret Cozine was an empirical or cancer doctor. (Note: Empirical today would mean a Quack but in that time would mean he was without formal training and based his practice on practical experience only.) Martin C. Duncan says that sometime in the 1830, at the request of old Mr. Garret Cozine and Mr. Gritton, he drew a note for the sum of $200. Henry Scamp stated that he had heard old Mr. Cozine say that he owed Mr. Gritton $200 and that he sold land to his (2nd) sone John Cozine to pay the debt. Mr. Cozine further told him that Andrew G. Kyle had said that Gritton could not compel John and himself to pay specie (coined money) for commonwealth paper, and that he thought it hard to have to pay the money as it was a security debt. Peter Huff stated that he had heard Garret Cozine say that he had give his (2nd) son John 17 acres of land to pay the debt of $200. He had also heard him say that Mr. Gritton charged him 10% for the money. Henry Comingore stated that he had heard Garret Cozine say that he owed Mr. Gritton $200 and had sold his land to his (2nd) son Joh for the purpose of complying with the contract. He said the dept was a security debt for his (1st) son Cornelius. Final Degree – Mercer Circuit Court Filed July 16, 1835 It seems to the court that the complainant has failed to manifest his right to relief sought by his bill. It is therefore ordered that the injunction heretofore awarded the Complainant against the Judgement at Law, in the bill mentioned be, and the same is herby dissolved and that the Complainant Cozine do pay to the defendant Gritton $16.50 being 10% upon the amount of said judgement at law now dissolved. It is further and finally declared and ordered that the Complainants bill and the same is hereby dismissed and that the Complainant do pay to the said Jesse Gritton his cost expended in the defense of this suit to be taxed by the Clerk and for which sums as well as the balance due him upon judgment at law in the Bill mentioned. Decree of the Court of Appeals -State of Kentucky June 7th, 1836 The court finds no error in the decree of the Mercer Circuit Court and it is ordered and decreed that the decree of the Circuit Court by affirmed and that the appellant pay to the appellee 10% damages on the amount of damages decreed. ($1.65) Notes The nine original notes are filed in the suit. The Cornelius Cozine Jr. (1st son of Garret) signature on the various notes is made by the same person who signed Abram Fite and Elizabeth Cozine’s marriage bond.

| 642 | Flossie Nadine (Cramer) Mowry passed away Saturday, April 16, 2016 at the Sheridan County Health Complex at the age of 93. She was born on September 28, 1922, the last of three children, to Constant “Connie” and Martha (Wallack) Cramer at her parents’ farm home 11 miles south of Jennings, KS. Flossie started school at the Pleasant Plain country school three miles southwest of her childhood home. She rode to school in a horse drawn cart or on horseback with her two brothers. Her class was small allowing the teacher more time to spend with her students and enabling Flossie to pass through three grades in two years. Starting in 5th grade, she attended school in Jennings, graduating in 1939 at the age of 16 as Valedictorian of her class. After high school graduation, Flossie attended Fort Hays State College for two terms earning a Life Time Teaching Certificate. She then taught for two years at the Chicago School and one year at the Pleasant Union School, both country schools located not far from her childhood home. In 1944, she moved to Hoxie and worked as a bookkeeper and cashier for the First National Bank until 1951. On Thanksgiving morning, November 24, 1949, Flossie married Henry Victor Mowry, the love of her life, at the First Presbyterian Church of Hoxie. Four children would later be born to this union. Vic and Flossie made their home on the family farm north of Hoxie where they raised their children. In August of 2009, they moved to Hoxie and celebrated their 60th anniversary in November that same year. Flossie enjoyed her life and all it had to offer. She was a loving wife, mother and grandma. Her family was very important to her. She did extensive research of the family genealogy, making and distributing notebooks to her family of those findings and always kept the records updated. In addition to being the farm bookkeeper, she was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church serving as an Elder and as church treasurer for 21 years. She was a member of the Mary Martha’s Bible study group, taught Sunday school and was Vacation Bible School director for several years. She was also a member of the Parnell Progressive Unit for many years. Flossie served on the Sheridan County Hospital Board for 20 years and was board treasurer for 16 of those years. It was during her time on the board that the expansion of the Sheridan County Long Term Care took place. Flossie was an excellent seamstress having sewn the wedding gowns for all three of her daughters as well as two bridesmaid dresses per daughter. Every time a new member joined her family, whether by marriage or birth, Flossie would make and decorate a red felt Christmas stocking for them. She also sewed quilts and blankets for her grandchildren and crocheted baby blankets for her great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Vic, on April 26, 2010, her parents, infant son and two brothers, Irwin Cramer and Murlin Cramer. She is survived by her three daughters, Melba Witt and husband, Ed, of Norton, Ilene Spillman and husband, Bill, and Joyce Tremblay and husband, Kevin, of Hoxie. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, one niece and one nephew. Funeral services for Flossie will be held April 20, 2016 at the First Presbyterian Church of Hoxie, with Pastor Andy Sonneborn officiating. Burial will be at the Hoxie Cemetery. Memorials may be made to the First Presbyterian Church of Hoxie or the Sheridan County Hospital Auxiliary in care of Mickey Leopold Funeral Home, Hoxie. https://www.plumeroverlease.com/obituaries/Flossie-Nadine-Cramer-Mowry?obId=883741 | Cramer, Flossie (I1154)
