| 102 | 24 Sept. It Proves a Murder Fatal Results of a Fight on the Commons North of the City. Dan Gaddis Dies at Whitestown – Was Struck with a Neckyoke by Ambrose Hedges – No Arrest Made. Dan Gaddis, of Whitestown, Boone county, died yesterday morning from the effects of a blow administered by Ambrose Hedges, of this city. Gaddis has been suffering for two weeks from a bad wound in the head, which was inflicted by a heavy neckyoke. He received the blow in a quarrel and fight that ensured over an argument with hedges. Gaddis and his wife have been traveling about the State trading horses, and two weeks ago camped in the river bottoms, north of the city. One day, Ambrose Hedges, who lived in the commons east of the City Hospital, went over to the Gaddis camp, and became involved in a quarrel with the couple, which finally ended in the woman attacking him with a knife. Hedges was severely cut, but managed to get hold of a neckyoke, and dealt Dan Gaddis a blow with the implement that stopped hostilities on the part of the wife. Hedges was taken to the City Hospital, and Police Sergeant Kurtz went out to arrest the horse traders but learned that they had pushed on toward Whitestown. Hedges recovered from the knife wounds and arranged to swear out warrants for the arrest of the Gaddis woman, but learning that her husband was at the point of death from the injury received at his hands he decided to pursue the matter no further. Yesterday Coroner Beck received official notice of the death, but referred the Whitestown officers to the Boone cunty coroner. Hedges has not been arrested.

| 104 | 26 December 1898 Hedges Is Still Missing His Wife Has Given Up All Hope of His Ever Returning to Kansas City. It has now been a month since Charles M. Hedges, manager of the American Law Association, mysteriously disappeared. His young wife and 9-month-old baby boy, having waited in vain for him to return, will leave Kansas City today for Lancaster, Mo., where Rev. Mr. T.A. Hedges, a brother of the missing man, resides. Mrs. Hedges sate with the baby in her lap feeding it bread and milk when a report for The Journal called at 2201 McGee last night. She said she had not expect particularly that Mr. Hedges would come home at this time and make a Christmas present of himself to his wife and baby. She had got ready to leave Kansas City, she said, and was going. “I have not found the slightest trace of my husband,” she said quite calmly. “He has never written me a line since he left, and I do not know whether he is alive to write. “When he left Kansas City n the morning of November 27, the last day that I saw him, he kissed me and the baby good-by just as usual, and started for a visit to his uncle at Liberty, MO. Arriving there, he found that his uncle was out of town, and he waited about the Leland hotel all day for the train back to Kansas City. At 7:35 p.m. he left the hotel to take the 7:45 train for home. That is the last ever seen of him. I went to Liberty and made inquiries and a thorough search, but could trace him no farther.” Mrs. Hedges denies that her husband was short in his accounts or that his business affairs were tangled. She says she cannot imagine any motive he could have had in going away. She became acquainted with Mr. Hedges at Horton, Kas. Kansas City Journal, Kansas City, Missouri.

Hedges and his wife were vagrant horse-traders. Gaddis and his wife followed the same occupation. They offered to trade horse. The two women got into a quarrel over the respective merits of their husbands’ horses. Gaddis and his wife returned to town. Here they met Bunnell. They told him of the quarrel. Bunnell got a revolver and the Gaddis woman armed herself with a knife. They went back to the Hedges camp and at once assaulted Hedges. Hedges defended himself stoutly. During the struggle he inflicted wounds upon Gaddis, from which he has since died. The fight ended by the stabbing of Hedges by Mrs. Gaddis. The Indianapolis Journal, Indianapolis, Indiana.

| 107 | 29 Sept. Hedges Locked Up. He Is Charged with the Murder of Dan Gaddis, of Whitestown. On a warrant from the Boone county coroner, charging him with murder, Ambrose Hedges, living near the City Hospital, was arrested yesterday and locked up. Three weeks ago Hedges got into trouble with Dan and Mary Gaddis, of Whitestown, while the couple were with a band of horse traders in camp at the end of Indiana avenue. In the fight which ensued Dan Gaddis was struck in the head with a neck yoke wielded by Hedges, frm the effect of which Gaddis died last week. Mary Gaddis then attacked Hedges with a knife and cut him so severely that he was confined to the City Hospital for a week. He yet shows the marks of the infuriated woman’s knife. He states that he struck Gaddis purely in self-defense and to save his own life, as the latter came at him with murder in his eye. Hedges will be taken to Boone county for trial.

| 126 | A Beautiful Life Come to a Close In the Passing of Mrs. Martha Ellinghauser Leffler, a Life-Long Resident of Dearborn County Martha Ellinghausen Leffler ws born in Dearborn County October 31, 1862. She was the youngest daughter of Henry and Sophia Schover Ellinghausen. She was baptized in infancy and confirmed in St. John’s Lutheran Church April 9, 1876, of which church she has since been a member. October 31, 1881, she was united in marriage with August Leffler. Then children were born to this union, two sons having preceded her to the great beyond. Surviving are her husband, two sons, Edward who resides at home, Elmer of near Manchester; six daughters, Mrs. Earl Hanson of Lawrenceburg, Mrs. Sherman Martin of Moores Hill, Mrs. Ivan Bennett at home, Mrs. Ernest McClanahan of near Wright’s Corner, Mrs. John Mason of Kyle, Mrs. George Rosenbaum, of near Aurora; 17 grandchildren; one brother, Henry Ellinghausen of Kyle; one sister, Mrs. Margaret Johnston of near Aurora, and other relatives and friends. After two weeks of intense suffering she passed away September 8, 1932, at the age of 69 years, 10 months and 7 days. She bore her suffering with Christian patience and fortitude. A kind and devoted mother has been called from our midst. Mrs. August Leffler was especially devoted to her family and home. Faithful and unselfish she has served her day and generation and if one is permitted to judge has gone to that reward promised to those who are “Faithful Unto Death.” She is not dead; oh, no, not dead, but sleeping; The weary frame now rests beyond all weeping; The spirit, like a prisoned bird set free; On joyful wing, mounts up, exultingly. Her earthly life was beautiful and rare; But she has gained the life celestial, where At his dear feet her trophies all laid down, She has exchanged her armor for a crown.

| 127 | A Birthday Surprise On Wednesday, November 4, 1936, several relatives of Mrs. Austin Moore, (Aunt American as she is known), met at the old Moore home, seven miles east of Cora, with well filled boxes and surprised her in honor of her eighty-sixth birthday. A delicious dinner was served in cafeteria style at noon. The afternoon was spent in listening to the radio, visiting and playing cards. A pleasant time was had by all present and the guests departed at four o’clock after wishing Mrs. Moore many more pleasant birthdays. Mrs. Moore is a pioneer of Sullivan county, Mo. She settled on the farm where she now lives in 1871, soon after she became the bride of Austin Moore, who was a veteran of the Civil war. She was born in Lee County, Iowa near Fort Madison, but her parents brought her to Linn county while she was yet a baby. Her father, Armstrong Cassity, settled near Purdin where she spent her girlhood. Mrs. Moore has many memories of the time of Abraham Lincoln. She is young for her years and gets her share of pleasure out of life by meeting it half way. The following were present: Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Pfeiffer, Mr. and Mrs. Will Barclay, Mrs. Gladys Lewis and baby, Lindy June, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lambert, Mr. and Mrs. George Walker, Miss Fern Smith, Mrs. American Moore and Will Moore.

| 134 | A Good Woman at Rest. Nancy A. Cassity was born near Owingsville, Bath Co., Kentucky, May 6, 1835, and passed away of pneumonia, November 13, 1925, age 90 years, 6 months and 7 days. She was the daughter of Alvah and Elizabeth Trumbo Cassity. She was married in 1854 to Adam Stutsman in Lee Co. Iowa, near West Point, and Ft. Madison. In 1856 they removed to Chariton Co Missouri, buying land and establishing a home in Cunningham township, where they lived continuously till about 1897, when they sold the farm, afterwards making their home in Brookfield until the death of Mr. Stutsman in December 1915. Since then Mrs. Stutsman has been with her children, spending most of her time with her daughter, Mrs. John Dryden in Sumner, Missouri, at whose home she was called to her reward. Though nine children came to bless this pioneer couple’s home, but thee survive: Mrs. John Dryden, of Sumner, Mo.; Mrs. Nellie Herlinger, of Brookfield and Miss Naomi Stutsman, of Oakland, California. There are six grand children. She united with the Christian church at the age of 20 years, and remained strong in the faith until the end. Funeral services were conducted at the home, Sunday, Nov. 15, 1925 at 2 p.m. In the absence of the minister, who could not be present, her friend and neighbor, Mr. Robt. Graham had charge of the service, reading from St. John’s Gospel, 11th chapter, and offering prayer, which together with the songs were in keeping with her sweet simplicity in life. Interment by Director Thorne, of Sumner, in the Stutsman cemetery. The bereaved have the sympathy of many friends. But the light of her presence shines on to bless those who knew her and to bring tribute to her memory. How good is Good! And how venerable is age! Ninety full years and past. Her years were God’s good measure pressed down and running over. And they were good years, for one spoke of her very recently, “I’ve known Mrs. Stutsman all my life and I never heard her speak an unkind word of anyone.” A record proud, worthy of emulation. She kept her interest in good things. She companioned with her Bible, with poetry and other good reading besides her home beloved and her friends. Loveable she was with charity for all and malice toward none. A “Thank you,” for every ministration in her behalf while she could yet speak. Ninety active years! Tis’ enough, come up higher. Peace indeed be to her ashes, for he giveth his beloved sleep. A Friend. Brookfield Gazette, Brookfield, Missouri. Friday, 20 November 1925. | Cassity, Nancy Armstrong (I2253)

| 141 | A Sudden Death The Community Shocked by the Passing Away of a Good Citizen. This community was startled yesterday afternoon, about 4 o’clock, to hear of the sudden death of Mr. Lycurgus E. Hedges. He was going to Zacharias’ stable to get his team to take a ride, leaving his wife at home waiting for him. Near Trinity M.E. Church he stopped to assist some men pull a limb from a tree and then walked on out Second street, where, at the Novitiate, he was seized with illness and falling to the pavement in front of the Novitiate expired in a few minutes. Mr. Jerome Ford was in front of him and hearing a peculiar noise turned just in time to see him fall. Dr. F.F. Smith was immediately summoned but found life extinct. Mr. Frank T. Rhodes, who was passing at the time in his wagon, procured a mattress from the Novitiate and took the sad burden home. Mr. Hedges had been failing in health for some time, having suffered two attacks of grip. The death of an only child last spring further prostrated him, and though apparently better, he never rallied from these physical infirmities, and the sever mental strain caused by affliction. Lycurgus Edward Hedges was born in this county, and has spent many years of his life in this community. In early life he taught school, afterwards removing to town where he clerked for a while, and subsequently engaged in the grain and flour business, at one time being located on East Patrick street. Several years ago he retired from business and has since led a retired live. Quiet, unobtrusive in his manners, he never sought any public position for emolument or honor, though in all capacities where he served he did so with great credit to himself and honor to the community. He had been a trustee and manager of the board of Montevue Hospital; a director in the First National bank; president of the board of managers of Mt. Olivet cemetery, and an officer of the Reformed church. He married Miss Amanda Baker, of Washington county, who survives him. Of his immediate family there remain two brothers, Adam and Abraham Hedges, residing respectively in Georgetown, D.C., and Lewistown, this county, and a sister, Mrs. Wm. H. Derr, of Baltimore. Mr. Hedges was in the 67th year of his age. In his death Frederick loses one of its best citizens. He was an upright, honest man, who in all the walks of life commanded the esteem of his associates. He was a firm friend and a wise counselor, and in all respects his sound judgment was unerring. As a faithful husband, an indulgent father, his place can never be filled. He was a pleasant companion, always popular among his friends and withal a man who will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends. Of him it can be truly said he was one of nature’s noblemen, and his memory will live ever green in the hearts of all who knew his intrinsic worth. His funeral will take place Thursday morning at 11 o’clock; interment in Mt. Olivet cemetery. The News, Frederick, Maryland. Tuesday, 1 November 1892, page 3. | Hedges, Lycurgus Edward (I3373)

| 143 | A Ten Year Old Boy Accidentally Killed by His Little Brother The three little sons of Mr. and Mrs. G.T. Bagley went hunting on Wednesday of last week, about six miles east of Purdin, taking a gun with them to kill rabbits. The boys were Lee, age 15, Urbie, aged 10, and Mylo aged 6. In some way the gun was discharged while in the hands of the smallest and the load struck Urbie. The wounded lad lived until Sunday evening. The funeral took place at 3 p.m. Monday, at the Grantsville church, the services being conducted by Rev. Fitzgerald and the interment was in Grantsville cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Bagley (the father is familiarly known as “Dode”) have the deep sympathy of all who know them in this time of sad bereavement. The Bulletin, Linneus, Missouri.

| 144 | A Terrible Disaster While freight train No.36 in charge of Conductor Daniels was coming east and passing through DeSoto, a little town twenty miles west of Argentine about 7 o’clock Saturday morning, the engine, the 1120, in charge of Engineer F.W. Bartell and Fireman W.W. Dortch, exploded just as it reached the Kill creek bridge, which is just at the east end of the DeSoto switch. The force of the explosion wrecked the bridge and into the creek below plunged the engine followed by fourteen cars containing hogs, cattle and merchandise. Engineer Bartell and H.E. Shaw, head brakeman, who was riding in the engine were buried in the wreck. The escape of Fireman Dortch was most miraculous. He was thrown by force of the explosion clear of the wreckage into Kill creek where he caught hold of a piece of driftwood and drifted out into the Kaw river which is only a short distance from the bridge. There he changed to get hold of a piece of one of the demolished cars and on it, wet and half frozen, floated down the rived till rescued by a man in a boat several miles below near Loring on the opposite side of the river. He was taken to a farm house more dead than alive. He has fully recovered and has returned to his home in this city where he was a young wife to whom he was only recently married. The dead body of Brakeman Shaw has been taken from beneath the wreck and was removed to his old home at Topeka for burial. He resided at 34 North Seventh street this city and leaves a wife and child 3 months old. When The Republic went to press the body of Engineer Bartell had not been recovered from the wreck. He resided on South Seventh street this city where he leaves a wife and child. Brakeman Shaw was just making his second trip on the road when he lost his life. The wreck crew from here are getting the wreck pretty well cleared up. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15450568/hessey-e-shaw | Shaw, Hesse (I4749)
