    MHR note: Mary Ann Cassity is given as "Polly Ann" on the stone. The Hargiss Cemetery is across a very narrow road from the railroad tracks. the graves have coffin-like covers and there is a tiny one beside theirs and a child-sized one next to that, both without inscriptions. The man living next to the little cemetery (James Edward Hall) said several stones had disappeared from the cemetery one night. One may have been that of their son, "Russell" Cassity.

    Notes:

    MHR note: Stories told by Ida M. (Hedges) Cronkite to Miriam Hickman. Malinda, daughter of Peter and Mary (Armstrong) Cassity married William Ribelin Hedges. "They used to say 'she lifted the limb of a tree it took two men to lift.' This is the true story. She and a small boy with his mother were hurrying to get home from a storm. Part of a tree blew down and caught the boy and pinned him down. Malinda lifted till the mother could drag him out. Next day two men went to clear the road and it took two men to lift it from the ground. This was my father's mother and he told me he had seen her lift an anvil off the block with one hand. She could weave four yards of jeans then walk four miles up hill to spend the night with a neighbor. When she was seventy, she was still spinning and weaving. The year she was eighty-two, 1887, your grandmother came with her to Illinois. They were two days on the train. There were four sons, two grandsons, and one granddaughter to visit, all in Vermilion County, but hard trips between in horse and buggy days. Then a train to Montezuma, Indiana to visit two nieces. Then to Louisville, Kentucky, where the youngest son met her with a lumber wagon to take her over a corduroy road sixteen miles to his home. Back again to Louisville and then the train on home at the mouth of Blue Bank on the Licking River near Farmers, Kentucky.

    "About a week later she heard there was to be preaching at Slaty Point. This was about three miles away. There she had gone to church all her life. They had no conveyance but hadn't they always walked? So she went. At the church she got sick and they took her to the nearest neighbor and a day or two later she died. She was eighty-two years old. At the age of seventeen she went from her father's home to her husband. She moved from the old house to the new and lived sixty-five years on the same farm."

    W.N. Cassity
    W.N. Cassity, one of the oldest settlers of this community, after a short illness, passed to his eternal rest at the home of his son in Topeka on May 31, 1919, at the age of 87 years, 11 months and 26 days.

    He was born in Rowan county, Kentucky, on June 5, 1831, and came to Kansas in 1858. He was married to Anna Elizabeth Shuemaker in 1861. To this union were born five children: Two daughters, Alma and Dora, deceased, and W.J. Cassity of San Francisco, Cali., F.N. Cassity of Topeka, Kas., and Peter A. Cassity of Wetmore, Kas. W.N. Cassity enjoyed the blessings of good health thru his long journey of life. He was a lover of music, especially the violin, which he played. He became a member of the M.E. church in Powhattan, Kas., in 1875. He was always willing to extend a helping hand when needed and never complained of his condition, but always said everything was for good for those that loved the right.

    The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M.M. McGuire at the M.E. church at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, June 2, after which interment was made in the family lot in Wetmore Cemetery. The many beautiful floral tributes of relatives and friends were mute testimonials of the love and esteem in which this venerable citizen and friend was held.

    Letter From An Old Settler
    The following letter from M.P.M. Cassity, an old and well known settler of Wetmore, was published in the Wetmore Spectator last week. His numerous friends in this county will sympathize with him and his sore affliction.
    Plattesburg, Mo, May 13.
    As I promised to let you hear from me will say that I am about the same as when I left Wetmore. I came her to my sister’s April 26th, after consultation and examination by Drs. Murdock, Morton and McDonald, at Oneida and St. Joseph. They advise me not to have an operation. Said they could perform the operation but there would be great danger in so doing. I was advised by Dr. Murdock, if went to Kansas City to go and see Drs. Minor & Thornton. I have written them and expect reply soon, and if they give me encouragement will go there. If I had plenty of money think I would have an operation and take chances. I feel very thankful to the friends who have assisted me in my great affliction. If I find that my ailment is incurable (which I fear at times at least is true) and I could be cared for there, would rather die at home than elsewhere. I am not afraid to death but dread the pain and suffering prior thereto. Dr. Morton of St. Joe said I should not look at my ailment in that way, that I might outlive him and that I could with local treatment at home or elsewhere be made to feel comfortable. I have to write lying down and am getting weary. I will try and keep you and all who feel interested in my welfare informed. Tell friends to write me here.
    M.P.M. Cassity.

    Death of M.P.M. Cassity
    One of the first settles of Nemaha county passed away from this earth’s trials and tribulations in the death of M.P.M. Cassity who died at the home of his sister in Plattsburg, Missouri, last Tuesday November 12, after a long and distressing illness. The deceased came to Nemaha county in 1955 and was the first assessor in the county, at that time the assessors were appointed for the whole county, and perhaps no man was better know to old settlers than Mart Cassity. He was a lawyer by profession, and until about three years ago, when he took down with his last illness, he practiced law in the town of Wetmore. He leaves two sons, C.E. Cassity a student in the law department of the state university at Lawrence, and Geo. M. Cassity, who resides in Oklahoma. The remains were brought to Wetmore today, Thursday, and will be buried Friday.

    Notes:

    William Henry Beagles
    In writing of those men who have been closely identified with the interests of Napa county mention should be made of the Late W.H. Beagles, who, when a sturdy young man, left home and with friends undertook the trip across the plains. Born in Washington county, Tenn., January 16, 1832, when a young child he was taken by his parents to Indiana, where they settle and passed from earth, leaving this son an orphan at the age of seven years, at which time he went to make his home with his grandparents in Tennessee and later with a brother in Virginia. His schooling was obtained under difficulties, but he made the most of his opportunities. At an early age he had to become self-supporting and learned the trade of carpenter and cabinet maker, with a brother in Virginia. He remained in that state until 1851, when he went to Fulton, Callaway county, Mo., where he followed his trade of cabinet maker for one year.
    The news Mr. Beagles received from those who were returning from California so interested him that he decided to cast in his lot with the western country and accordingly outfitted for the trip over desert and mountains. He rode a mule most of the way and drove a band of cattle. After a somewhat uneventful journey of five months the train arrived in this state and young Beagles went to the San Ramon valley in Contra Costa county and secured work as a ranch hand, and for the following seven years followed that occupation. In 1859 he had made enough money to permit of a visit to his old home place and the journey was made by way of Panama to Missouri. Shortly after his arrival there he was united in marriage, on January 25, 1860, and there he and his wife made their home for about four years, when they started overland for their home in the west. The trip was made with mules and asses and they also brought a band of horses, jacks and jenneys with them, selling most of them in Virginia City. Nev., at good prices. The journey was made in safety and they arrived in the fall of 1863. June 10 of the following year Mr. Beagles came to Napa valley and his association with the welfare of this section dates from that time. He at once began farming and for a time carried on operations on the Big Ranch road, the St. Helena road, and in 1871 the family settled four miles north of Napa, which place continued to be his home until his death, April 25, 1903. On this ranch Mr. Beagles made all of the improvements, planted trees for shade and also fruit trees. The ranch comprises one hundred and sixty-two acres and is devoted to general farming, twenty acres in prunes, fifty acres in alfalfa and the balance grain and pasture land. The beautiful row of shade trees that adorns the approach to the house was planted by the family.
    In all matters that pertained to the development of Napa county Mr. Beagles was interested; never an office-seeker, yet he readily assisted those men and measures that he considered best for the general welfare of the citizens. He was a quiet, unostentatious man and made and retained friends wherever he went. He was a friend of the public school and served as a
    Page 558
    member of the board for some time. He lived by the Golden Rule and at his death the county lost a good citizen, and those who knew him best a warm friend, and his family a kind and loving husband and father.

    Mrs. Amanda M. Beagles
    In mentioning the women who have aided in the upbuilding of this western commonwealth the one whose name heads this article should not be forgotten. She came to California with her husband in 1963, crossing the plains with mules and wagon and located in Napa county the following year, and since that time has made the county her home. She was born in Fleming county, Ky., and is a descendant of an historic southern family. Her father, Isaac R. Cassity, was likewise a native of that county and his father, Peter Cassity, was a planter in Montgomery county, Ky., and served in the war of 1912. He married Mary Armstrong, whose father, Robert, was a native of Virginia and owner of the celebrated hog Springs in Tazewell county, that state. During the early settlement of Kentucky he moved there with his family, going by wagon and taking his herds of cattle, horse and mules. Purchasing thirteen thousand acres of land, he settled down to improve the same and make a home among the pioneer surrounding of that section. Part of the property is the present site of Mount Sterling, Ky.
    On the maternal side Mrs. Beagles is also well connected, her mother, Joyce Davis, born in Montgomery county, Ky., being a daughter of Jesse Davis, who was a native of Virginia and who served two years in the Revolutionary war. His father owned the plantation adjoining that owned by George Washington, and the older members of the family were playmates of that illustrious general, the hero of the great struggle for independence.
    The marriage of Amanda M. Cassity and William H. Beagles was celebrated in Missouri in 1860. Of this union the following children were born: William H., a furniture and carpet dealer in San Francisco; Lucy, wife of Henry Clark of Chico; Clara E., Mrs. W.A. Wakerley, of San Francisco; Sarah Amanda and Emily Florence, both at home; Mary E., wife of Henry Wolf, of San Francisco ; Joyce A., at home; Robert L., of Chico; and Donald H., residing on the home place. Charles D. and Walter are deceased. The latter was a graduate of Stanford University and died in 1905. The children have been reared by their mother and all have become useful in their various locations in business and society.
    Since the death of Mr. Beagles, Mrs. Beagles has made her home at their old residence north of Napa, where she is surrounded with all the comforts made possible by their prosperity, all of which she has been an important factor in making possible. She takes great comfort in having her children about her and rejoices at their continued successes. She is wonderfully well preserved for one of her years and as one of the pioneer women of the state of California, gives with a liberal hand towards all worthy charities and believes in the advancement of all the interests of the county and state. She is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and is greatly loved and esteemed by all who know her for her many amiable and noble traits of character.

    MHR note: letter from Aletha Read - "Amanda married William Henry Beagles of Tennessee in January 1860 in Linn Co. MO. Grandfather Beagles had first gone to California in 1852, riding a mule. He worked on a ranch in San Ramon Valley, Contra Costa Co., and saved enough money to return to Missouri via the Panama Canal in 1854. They had two sons born to this union before coming to California in 1863. Grandmother drove a mule team while grandfather was ahead with the cattle, horses and mules. Their older son died enroute and was buried near where they crossed the Platte River. They first went to Contra Costa County, but grandmother wasn't pleased, so they moved on to Napa County in 1864, where their first daughter was born."

    Family spelled their Cassity name as "Cassady".

    10 children.

    MRH note: David R. Hedges wrote from Mason County, Kentucky , 24 October 1859, that Addison W. Hedges Jr. had married a wealthy widow.

    MHR note: in letter from Ida Cronkhite dated 13 February 1951. Addison W. Hedges died while the Civil War was on. He was living in Texas, and was drafted into the Confederate Army, and died in hospital. After the war, the widow and her two small sons and the 2 older by a former marriage, visited Kentucky. Early in 1880 Father got a postal card saying what had become of the boy. We learned later that Robert, age 18, rode away telling some of his mates that he was going to Illinois. He never arrived, but met with a band of bandits and was murdered in Colorado. Will's wife wrote to my father, 1923, of her husband's death. No children. She was Susie Terrell, and I think they cared for some of her nieces. A.W.'s widow was twice more married, and twice widowed but she died before Will did.

    Notes:

    Story about Vianna in her grandson Lucian White's notes from newspaper article about Lucian's skills making dulcimer.
    * * * * *
    The Kentucky hills and its people, especially his grandmother Vianna Hamm, are what White likes to talk about most. “Oh,” he exclaimed, “every boy should have a grandmother like that to tell him stories.”
    It was right after the Civil War when the southern general John Hunt Morgan paid his last visit to White’s grandmother’s hunting lodge, White said. Morgan used to come there before the war for recreation and hunting and White’s grandparent’s hospitality.
    Grandfather Hamm had gotten a land grant to run the lodge and the area was excellent for hunting fox, white-tailed deer and the like. Also had good fishing, White said.
    Well Morgan was one of those generals who never did surrender. He became leader of an outlaw band and would ride in, steal horses and loot a place at the drop of a hat. If there wasn’t any loot worth having or he met resistance in taking it, he’d have his men set all the buildings on fire.
    When they came riding into his grandmother’s after her husband had died, she was down in a cellar along, White said. The outlaws were bent on stealing the horses from the corral but were unable to get them out. “For some reason the horses just ran around in the corral making a commotion.”
    His grandmother ran up from the cellar and accosted the outlaws by herself. White said “John Hunt Morgan!” she shouted at the former general. “Is this the tanks you give me for slaving over a hot cookstove while you were out hunting?
    Morgan just looked down from his big horse and motioned for his men to close the gate. “Come on boys,” he said. “her horse never were any good.” And they rode off.

    Notes:

    Enlisted on 9 October 1861.
    Mustered in 31 December 1861, Lexington, Kentucky
    as Captain into what was first called Captain Hedges' company of the 24th Regiment.
    Later named Company G, 24th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry.
    Reassigned on 5 July 1864 because of wounds received in action.
    Discharged in 1864 of wounds received in the battle of Resaca, Georgia while serving under Sherman on the march to the sea.

    A brief history of the regiment states "The 24th Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was organized in the fall and winter of 1861, under Colonel Lewis B. Grigsby, and was mustered into the United States service on the 11th of December 1861 at Lexington, Kentucky, by Captain Bankhead, United States Mustering officer. Soon after its organization it joined the main army, and was engaged in many of the most severe battles of the war, and did arduous duty in eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. It would fill pages of the Report to give in detail all the places trough which the regiment marched, and the various difficulties and hardships with which it had to contend. At the muster-out at Covington, Kentucky on the 31st January 1865, the recruits were transferred to Company K, 6th Kentucky Veteran Cavalry. It participated in the following battles, in which loss was sustained, viz; Shiloh, Tennessee; Siege of Corinth, Mississippi; Perryville, Kentucky; Knoxville, Tennessee; Resaca, Georgia; Lost Mountain, Atlanta, Georgia and Jonesboro".

    We can assume that Peter Thompson Hedges would have been in all of the above up to Resaca Georgia.

    Brief history of the 10th Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry from the Adjutant General of the State of Kentucky: "The Regiment, under the command of Col. Joshua Tevis, was immediately put upon arduous duty as the advanced guard of the Army of the Ohio, in the campaign against Gen. Kirby Smith. In November and December, 1862, having been assigned to Brig. Gen. Bilmore's division, it was employed on the line towards Knoxville, Tenn. passing the entire winter in continuous marching. During the spring and summer of 1863 the regiment was employed, by battalion, in West Virginia and Northeastern Tennessee. In Southwest Virginia one of its battalions captured the breech-loading artillery so well know in connection with the history of Marshall's invasion. The services of this regiment were of the most active and efficient character. Its skirmishes and small fights were numerous and its marches continuous and severe. Among other, this regiment participated in the engagements of Elk Fork, Tenn; Gladesville, VA; Triplett's Bridge, Ky; Lancaster, Ky; Richard, Ky (1863); and in the pursuit and rout of the rebel cavalry of Pegran and Scott, beside the numerous affairs attending the advance of Maj. Gen. Granger upon central Kentucky. The regiment was mustered out at Maysville, Ky. 17 September 1863 by Capt. R. B. Hull, United States Army."

    Notes:

    MHR note: Malissa and her sister Rosann were the same size and looked alike and used to confuse their beaus.

    Malissa made only two moves in her life - from the old house to the new one on the same farm.

    Ida Cronkhite said that Melissa's sons (William, "Russell", and Luther) began life looking all right but had convulsions. After the other brothers and sisters were gone they moved in with their parents and Malissa and Joe Stienrod both died there. So did Albert, "Russell" and Hattie). Albert wasn't quite so helpless as the other two.

    Malissa, her second husband Joseph Stienrod, and her children died in the house in which Malissa was born. Ida Cronkhite thought that Malissa was probably buried in Three Lick Cemetery where her parents are buried. But she is, however, buried at Slaty Point Cemetery near Farmer, Kentucky and has a stone.

    Rank: private.
    Enrolled 27 August 1861.
    Mustered in 9 October 1861, Camp Dick Robinson, Kentucky. Enlisted for a period of 3 years.
    Discharged 8 March 1863, Gallatin, Tennessee.

    We have a copy of William R. Hedges Soldier's Certificate No.690641 file. In his general affidavit, he writes that in Dec 1861 I received an injury to my left side by being kicked by a mule, while helping to break mules at Crab Orchard Ky the mules back joint struck me three or four times on the lower ribs of the left side causing a rupture of the left kidney so that I urinated blood for six weeks and about the 10th of April 1862 while still suffering from the effects of said injury I was poisoned by eating cheese purchased from the suttler of the region and my whole left side seemed to be affected by said poison and my belief is that my left side being was when I was poisoned the effects of the poison naturally settled in that side and the poison aggravated the results from the injury. An any rate I have continued to suffer from that time to the present with pain in the left side of my head and face like neuralgia and with pain in my left side and hip and spine like rheumatism.

    The Union Army, v.IV. Published by the Federal Publishing Co, 1908, pp318-320.
    "This regiment was one of the three which President Lincoln authorized Lieut. William Nelson of the navy, a native of Mason county, Ky., to raise in Kentucky in the early summer of 1861. The day after the August election, Col. Fry with a detachment from Danville, the nucleus of what became Co. A, opened Camp Dick Robinson and three other regiments began to pour in and with a few weeks enough men to fill the four regiments had assembled. The first active service performed by any portion of the regiment was when a detachment of several companies, with a similar detachment from the 3d, was sent to Nicholasville to escort a wagon train loaded with muskets and ammunition from Nicholasville to the camp. In the latter part of October the regiment moved to Crab Orchard and became a part of the 2nd brigade, 1st division, Army of the Ohio. Its first participation in actual hostilities was at the battle of Mill Springs, Ky., in which action the regiment lost 1 officer (Lieut. J. M. Hall, Co.B) and 8 men killed and 52 wounded, which was a pretty heavy percentage in a regiment depleted by sickness and detachments to less than 400 for duty. From Mill Springs the regiment marched by Coffey's mill, Danville, Lebanon, and Bardstown to Louisville and there embarked on boats for Nashville, where it arrived March 4, 1862. It took part in the advance on Corinth, frequently skirmishing and sometimes sustaining loss. After the evacuation of Corinth it pursued the enemy as far as Booneville, Miss. and then returned to Corinth marched via Iuka to Tuscumbia. After a stay of some weeks at the latter place, it moved with the command on July 24, via Florence, Lawrenceburg, Pulaski, Fayetteville, Lynchburg and Winchester to Decherd. Leaving the latter place for Nashville, it marched from there with Buell's army to Louisville. After the battle of Perryville, where the regiment was present though not engaged, it moved with the command via Danville to Crab Orchard, whence via Greensburg and Glasgow to Gallatin, Tenn., Then to Casalian Springs, half way between Gallatin and Hartsville, and there to Elizabethtown. It was joined at Munfordville by the 12th Ky. Cavalry and 13th Ky. Infantry and had a fight with Morgan's rear at Rolling fork; moved thence to Lebanon Junction and thence to Nashville. The Regiment took part in the Tullahoma campaign and was in action at Hoover's gap, Concord church and near Tullahoma, but with slight loss. It went into action at the battle of Chichamauga with 19 officers and 360 men and lost 13 officers wounded, and 160 enlisted men killed and wounded."

    James Alvia Hedges
    Born Sept. 14, 1843-Died Nov.3, 1921
    oh, friend of mine, I grieve to lose
    The grip of they loving hands:
    How much we need each other here
    Each fully understand,
    But if our pathways meet no more
    In meadow-land or heather,
    Believe that when the night is come
    We’ll be at home together.
    Obituary
    James Alvia Hedges, the subject of this sketch, was born September 14, 1843, in Fleming county, Kentucky, and died at Lakeview hospital at Danville Nov. 3, 1921, age 78 years, one month and nineteen days. He was the son of William R. and Malinda Hedges.
    He spent his boyhood days in Kentucky. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in the 10th Indiana Cavalry, Co. A, serving one years, receiving an honorable discharge. Later he went to Kentucky and enlisted in the 10th Indiana cavalry, and served 2 years being discharge at the close of the war.
    Returning to his native state, he married Miss Philora Allen, Dec 26, 1865, who survives him. For fifty seven years they trod the pathway of life together.
    They came to Illinois in 1870, and lived two years, returning to Kentucky. In 1880 they came again to Illinois, settling on a farm near Homer. About twenty years ago they moved to their home in Allerton.
    To this union ten children were born, four preceding him in death. Those living are Mrs. Eva I. Clifton of Moneta, Ia.; Mrs. Serona D. Ellis of Mason, Ind; Mrs. Ada Smith of Ames neighborhood; Isaac Hedges of Spencer, Ia; Mrs. Lottie Clester of this place and George Hedges of Palmer, Ia. He leaves a large number of grand and great grandchildren.
    Peter Hedges of Canton, Mo; W.R. Hedges of Purdin Mo, and Mrs. R.S. Gilkison of Catlin are living brothers and sister.
    In early manhood he became a follower of Jesus Christ, and united with the Christian church. It may be truly said that he lived a consistent christian life. He was a faithful attendant of services at churches in Allerton when in health.
    Mr. Hedges had been failing in health for a number of years ad all that medical skill and loving tender care could do to alleviate his pain and prolong life was of no avail. Through all he was patient, always trusting Him who doeth the best, and he is at home in that land where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.
    The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church in this place Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock, conducted by Rev. J.M. Beane of Danville, assisted by A.R. Wassell and Rev. Huff pastor of the Christian church, who resides at Jamaica. Interment at Fairfield cemetery southwest of Allerton.

    He married Philora Allen from Kentucky. In 1871 they moved to Illinois, later returning to Kentucky for a short time. They had seven children, Eva Clifton, Dee Ellis, Ada Smith, Lottie Clester, Ike, Russell and George.

    Philora was a very religious person and often quoted scriptures to one and all. She loved to smoke a corn cob pipe and often used her son, George as a lookout. The minister called and as a joke, George let him into the smoke filled room. Punishment was severe.
    Their son Russell left home to look for work but never returned or heard from again. They kept a lighted lamp in the window for many years.

    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.

    Notes:

    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.

Cassity, one of Linn county’s well known and excellent pioneer citizens, passed away Tuesday morning, May 28th, 1929 at about 12:23 o’clock, following an illness of nine years of rheumatism and which for almost a year had confined him to his bed. While partings occasioned by death are always sad, and though loving hands had ministered to him through all his years of patient suffering, it would seem that this was an instance in which death came as a blessing, bring that relief from suffering which it seemed that only it could bring.
    William T. Cassity was born in Lee county, Iowa, January 17, 1852 and was a little past 77 at the time of his passing. He came to Linn county, Mo. in 1856 and located upon a farm north of Linneus, upon a portion of which he was residing at the time of his death. On March 3rd, 1878 he was united in marriage with Miss Aura Garrett, with whom he lived happily until the time of her death which occurred in April 1918. Of this union one child was born, Norman C. Cassity, who survives his father. The deceased is also survived by four grandchildren – Donald, Elizabeth, A.W. and Lucille Cassity. The deceased had long been a member of the Christian church and leaves to posterity the heritage of having been an upright citizen and christian gentleman.
    Funeral services will be conducted at the Cassity home this (Thursday) afternoon at 1:30 o’clock and interment will occur in the Linneus I.O.O.F. cemetery.

    Notes:

    Biography from Find a Grave:
    Isaac was the first husband of Martha (Tipton) Cassity Price Baker (1839-1924). He married Martha on November 8, 1856 in Sullivan County, Missouri and was the father of three children with her: Henrietta, Amanda Jane and Isaac Newton Cassity, Jr. Isaac was the son of Peter Thompson Cassity, II and Lydia West (Evans) Cassity. Isaac died during his service in the Union Army during the Civil War. He enlisted in Co. B, 66th EMM (Enrolled Missouri Militia) on August 5, 1862 at Cross Roads, Missouri. His brother, Peter Thompson Cassity III, enlisted on the same day. Isaac enlisted as a 2nd musician and his brother enlisted as a private. Isaac was 30 years old and had two children at the time. His brother, was listed as being 24 at the time. (I believe his brother was actually 26). Military records say that Isaac died on November 5, 1862, although some family histories list his death as November 6th, 1862. His brother was relieved from service on November 7, 1862, probably due to the death of Isaac. Isaac and Peter's father, Sgt. Peter Thompson Cassity, II, served a few months as Sgt. in Co. C, 62nd EMM from October through December 1864. When Isaac died, his wife, Martha, was pregnant with their third child, Isaac Newton Cassity, Jr. His son was born about seven months after Isaac died. Isaac Newton Cassity, Jr. and his sisters were raised by Martha and her second husband, another Missouri Civil War veteran of the Union Army, Pvt. Harrison Price, also of Sullivan County, Missouri. After Pvt. Price died, Martha married her third husband, John Rowen Baker (1861-1937).

    Pete Cassity, aged 75 years, brother of A.M. Cassity, of this city, died at his home at Cora Saturday, December 2, 1911, of paralysis. A first stroke had seized him about ten days before his death and he had never fully recovered. The second stroke came Saturday morning and he died a short time afterwards. He was a blacksmith and was widely known in this county. The remains were interred in the Shatto cemetery Sunday.

    Old Resident Dead.
    Peter Cassity, of Cora, Dies From Effect of appoplexy.
    On last Saturday morning Mr. Peter Cassity, one of the earliest settlers of the county, died at his home in Cora, following a stroke of paralysis about a week previous.
    The funeral was held on Sunday and interment was made in the Shatto cemetery.
    Mr. Cassity was one of the early settlers of this county, coming here with his parents before the war in the early fifties. He had lived here ever since. He was in his 76th years at the time of his death. He lived for many years on a farm west of Milan near the J.W. Henry bridge. Here his father lived. About twenty years ago he went to Cora where he established a blacksmith shop and followed that business as long as his strength was sufficient.
    About a year ago he got hurt while shoeing a horse, having a hip dislocated. From this he never recovered and it doubtless hastened the time of his death.
    Mr. Cassity was a good citizen, a good neighbor, and on needy person every asked aid of him in vain.

    Two Suicides in Linn County
    Alonzo Cassity this Moring at Purdin
    Wililams King near Marceline
    At 10:30 o’clock this (Thursday) morning, the body of Alonzo M. Cassity was found handing in his barn at his home in Purdin, 5 miles north of here. He was in the restaurant business, and had been in his place only 30 minutes before the sad event.
    His health had been somewhat poorly of late, but aside from that it is not known what caused him to take his life. The deed was done with a rope which he tied about his neck and then dropped out of the barn loft. He leaves a wife and two sons, Rolla and Alfred.

    Murder Takes New Twist
    Witnesses tell of auto near scene of Cassity slaying by gangster in Pasadena
    Another mystery automobile was injected into the underworld revenge killing of William J. Cassity, 63 years of age, yesterday at a Pasadena inquest over the body of the man who died before gangsters’ bullets Sunday night because, police assert, he “tipped off” the authorities to active bootleggers in “Little Italy.”
    Before the Coroner’s jury returned a verdict that Cassity came to his death at the hands of unidentified persons with homicide intent, two near-witnesses to the killing told of another car, in addition to the one the gunman used, being in the vicinity of Fair Oaks avenue and Alta Lorna Drive, where the shooting occurred.
    Donald McIntyre, 471 Eldora Road, Altadena, and Herbert Anderson, 3104 North Raymond avenue, Pasadena, each 16, who were driving near the intersection heard the three shots and saw the gunman drive hurriedly away, leaving his victim dying in the street.
    Car Speeds Away
    McIntyre and Anderson also told the Coroner’s jury they saw a small coupe parked at the head of Fair Oaks avenue. After the shots were fired they said the lights of the small car switched on quickly and it sped away. Deputy sheriffs are trying to find a clew to enable them to locate the occupants of the small car.
    After the verdict was returned, the officials agreed that Casity was killed by rum dealers because he “talked too much at the wrong place and wrong time.”
    August Nelson, who resides in the Cassity home, 777 College street, is believed to be the last person who saw the tinsmith alive. He testified he noticed nothing unusual about Cassity’s demeanor when he left home shortly before he was killed.
    Son Warned Father
    A.B. Cassity, son of the slain man, testified he had repeatedly warned his father from informing on bootleggers in the neighborhood in which they lived.
    Deputy Sheriffs Monteleone and Croushorn testified concerning the conditions as they found them when they were called to the scene of the killing by McIntyre and Anderson.
    Capt. Bright, chief of the Sheriff’s homicide squad, declared yesterday that he and his investigators have not the slightest clew to the identity of Cassity’s murder of murderers.

    Obituary
    Died – of quick consumption, after an illness of six months, at the residence of her parents, William N. and Ann E. Cassity, four miles north-east of Wetmore in Brown County, Kansas, at 8 o’clock, a.m., Sunday; June 10, 1888. Mary Alma Jinks.

    Deceased was born in Brown County near where she died, Sept. 25, 1864, and was therefore 23 years, 8 month and 10 days old at the time of her death. She was married to Ernest Jinks Feb. 22, 1882, and leaves a husband and two children, Wm. Curtis, five years old, and Bessie May, two years old. She made a last request of her mother to take care of Bessie. Being the last sister of a family of five she much desired to see Willie, the oldest brother who was in Leadville, Col., and telegraphed for but did not arrive until she had passed away – the realities of which none living knoweth.

    At the early age of eleven years she joined the Methodist church, and lived an upright believer thereafter. She was a loving daughter and sister, dutiful wife, a kind and loving mother, and leaves a grief-stricken husband, father, mother, three brothers, and last but not least two little orphans who had hardly learned to lisp the dear wore, “mother,” then the monster, Death, snatched her from them; shall we say forever? We hope not.

    The funeral took place at the Baptist Church at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon. Rev. T.E. Rolfe delivered one of his very able funeral discourses to some three hundred relatives and friends of the deceased, after which a long train followed the remains to its final resting place in the Wetmore Cemetery.

    The parents and husband of the deceased extend to all who in any way helped them in their sad bereavement, their heart-felt thanks.

    Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock Wm. H. Beagles, proprietor of the Napa Steam Feed Store, and Miss Fannie J. Walker, were united in marriage in the presence of many invited friends. The ceremony took place in the Methodist church, Rev. Jno. Coyle tying the nuptial knot. In front of the pulpit was a profusion of beautiful flowers, white predominating, artistically arranged.
    Mrs. J.H. Beagles presided at the organ, and the bridal party came into church and marched up the aisle to the merry peals of a wedding march. First came the parents of the bride and other relatives, then the bride and groom, followed by the bridesmaid, Miss Lou Beagles, and groomsman, Mr. John Walker. The bride looked beautiful in a dress of white, with orange blossoms on her brow and a long flowing bridal-veil. The groom was dressed in conventional black.
    The ceremony that made them one was quickly performed. As they took the afternoon train for San Francisco, wheat and corn were showered upon the happy couple.
    Mr. Beagles has lived in town or in its immediate vicinity since early childhood. His bride is the daughter of Mr. G.T. Walker, and she has resided on the “Big Ranch” for several years. Both have many friends in the valley who will wish them a long life of unalloyed happiness. They will return in a few days and will occupy a house on Steward street, west of Main.

At this writing no additional news has been secured.
    Deceased was the son of Elgin and Katherine Richards Hopkins, and was born near Perry, Jan. 28th, 1881. After the death of his mother he lived with his brother, A.M. Hopkins, of near this place. The last four years of his life he has had no permanent home, but like most other boys of his age wanted to act and plan for himself.

    Notes:

    MHR note: At age 20 Charlie got into a scrape with a girl who was half-witted. He skipped out with a horse and buggy. The horse was mortgaged but he sold it, and when questioned by A. V., said it had broken through a bridge and broken its leg and he'd had to kill it. Uncle Cappy [Peter Thompson Hedges] had to pay the money. He had to give the girl money and took her to an aunt in Florida. After they arrived, her father had her swear that she and Cappy had been registered as man and wife at a hotel on the way and extorted more money from him. He sold his farm and moved.

    Charles is buried in Forest Grove Cemetery next to his parents.

    1 December 1898
    No Trace Found of Charles M. Hedges
    Whereabouts of the Missing Attorney Still Shrouded in Mystery – Police Are Puzzled.
    “Where is Charles M. Hedges? Has he met with foul play?
    These are the questions which the police and the fiends of the missing man are asking themselves. His whereabouts is as deep a mystery as when he first dropped out of sight last Sunday. The police are puzzled over th case.
    As told exclusively in yesterday’s Times, Charles M. Hedges was a manager of the American Law association in the Nelson building and disappeared last Sunday afternoon. He was last seen at the Leland hotel in Liberty as he was starting to the depot to catch the 7:45 train over the Hannibal and St. Joseph road to this city. He lived with his wife and 7-months-old child at 1622 Broadway and went to Liberty last Sunday morning to visit his uncle, the Rev. Mr. Vawter, pastor of the Christian church of that town. His uncle was in Platte City and was not to return until the next day so Hedges went to the Leland hotel to stay until train time.
    He left the hotel about ten minutes before the time for his train to start, saying that he “must go home and see his wife and baby.” That was the last anyone remembers seeing of him.
    Hedges rented desk room in the law office of Charles H. Winston in the Nelson building and was well known to the business men of the city as a collector. Mr. Winston can find no trace of Hedges, and he believes that the missing man has been foully dealt with. Last night he said: “I am doing everything in my power to find Hedges. I knew him well and can not account for his continued absence.”
    Hedges brother, the Rev. T.A. Hedges, a Christian minister at Lancaster, Mo., was in the city all day yesterday trying to find the missing man. The conductor and brakeman of the Hannibal and St. Joseph train on which Hedges is supposed to have come from Liberty last Sunday were seen and questioned, but neither remembered anything of a man who answered the description of Hedges. The Rev. Mr. Hedges left for Lancaster last night and will wait until something turns up.
    Hedges is 25 years old, of medium height and weight and was well dressed when he disappeared. His friends say that he left money on deposit here in the National Bank of Commerce, and that his business was prosperous. None of his friends can account for his absence.

    18 December 1898
    Hedges Case Baffles Them
    Police Can Not Penetrate The Mystery Surrounding It.
    For More Than a Month Charles M. Hedges Has Been Missing, and Not the Slightest Trace of His Whereabouts Has Been Found – His Wife Still Has Hopes of His Return, and Continues His Business.
    In an office on the sixth floor of the Nelson building a woman with traces of suffering in her finely-chiseled face, sits all day at a desk and carries on the business which her husband built up during five years of constant toil in the face of many difficulties. She is the wife of Charles M. Hedges, the manager, of the American Law association, who disappeared as mysteriously on November 27 last as if the earth had opened and swallowed him from sight.
    This woman is carrying on the business of the association as if nothing the world had happened and as if she had been doing it for years. The desk where her husband sat is loaded down with just as many papers as when he was there. Business men of the city who have had occasion to place any of their affairs in the hands of this woman say that she is as much a manager of affairs as was ever her husband.
    Before her husband disappeared he was a collector of other men’s bills. As manager of the American Law association he solicited unpaid bills from business men and by letters to the delinquent ones tried to get them to settle the bills. Those who knew him best say that he kept a record of every man who paid a bill which had been entrusted to him for collection and that this list was sent monthly to the business firms of the city so that these firms might know who the men were who could pay the bills they had contracted. In writing these letters to the men who owed money to business firms, Hedges would state that if the bills were paid the man’s name would be place on this list and the firms of the city would thereby know whom to trust in selling goods on time. Friends of the missing man say that Hedges never had the bills in his possession, but would simply write the letters to the debtors and collect his commission from the creditors in the event of the bill being paid as a result of his efforts.
    Mrs. Hedges Still Has Hope.
    Writing letters is the task which Mrs. Hedges has during all of each day. Every morning when the mail is delivered to the office she tears open each letter with a look of hope in her face. “There may be a letter from Charlie, and he may be sick some out-of-the-way place and can’t come home,” she says. Although disappointed at every mail, she has not give up all hope. “He will come back sometime.” That is what she lives for.
    While this woman thumps diligently away at a typewriter, a little baby boy plays around on the floor of the office. This child was the delight of Hedges, and when he left his home for a day’s visit at Liberty, he kissed the child good-by. All remembrance of its father leaves the child for days at a time. Sometimes this little boy asks for him, but these requests are becoming fewer and farther apart as the days go by.
    “The boy has almost forgotten that he ever had a father,” the mother says. “I suppose the child would recognize him if he would come back, but I am not so sure of it.
    The search for Hedges is still on, but not even the shadow of a suspicion of his whereabouts has been learned of by the police or the missing man’s friends since he dropped out of sight. Hedges’ disappearance is the strangest case the local police have ever been called upon to unravel. To drop out of sight as completely as if a fire had consumed every atom of one’s body is a thing seldom heard of hearabouts. Although nearly a month has passed since Hedges disappeared, not one man has been found who remembers seeing him or anyone who looked like him since he left the Leland hotel at Liberty to catch the 7:45 o’clock train to this city on the night of November 27.
    The police, the missing man’s lodge of the Odd Fellows and a dozen close friends have done everything possible in the search for him, and none has found the slightest trace. Hedges’ accounts were as straight as a string, and he owed no man, as far as his friends here know. He left a wife and a child, both of whom he is said to have loved dearly. His wife says that there was never anything but the happiest of relations in the family home, and that her husband was a sober, studious man.

    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.

    They Are Still Missing
    Many Sudden Disappearances Are Yet Unexplained
    [long article about several area disappearances, including Charles]
    One of the mysterious disappearances the police of Kansas city have been called upon to unravel is that of Charles M. Hedges, manager of the American Law association. Hedges dropped out of sight on November 27, at Liberty, Mo., while there on a day’s visit to his uncle, an elder of the Christian church. Not even a suspicion of a trace of him has ever been found, although the police, the missing man’s lodge of the Odd Fellows and numerous friends have all joined in the search for him. Hedges is said to have loved dearly his young wife and infant child, who were left alone in the world. He kissed them goodby on the morning of Sunday, November 27, and said he would be back again at night. That was the last either of them ever has seen of him.

    Notes:

    MHR note: Indiana Louisa went to North Madison, Indiana to visit her relatives, who sent her to school there two years. While there she heard the song "Lourena" and thereafter called herself Lourena and her family called her "Lou". According to Ida Cronkhite, she was a pretty, lively girl and became engaged to William Vawter, a relative (called "Wid"). When she returned to Kentucky, "Wid" wrote her at intervals, saying he was coming to see her, but each time failed to appear. She taught a mountain school in Kentucky and in the spring of 1879 brough home her husband, Joe Enix (who after his second marriage began spelling his name as "Enochs").

    Lou and her husband went to Illinois with her parents in October 1879 and remained there until after the first child was born. But Joe became homesick and they returned to Carter County, Kentucky and their second child was born there.

    According to Ida Cronkhite, Lou contracted malaria and died. But Helen Gearhart Greers said her mother thought it had been TB that had caused Lou's death..

    Lou's mother, Samanatha sent a postcard about her daughter's death to relatives in Missouri.

He left Denison over a year ago and made his home for some months in Topeka from whence he went to Denver, Colo., and later to Las Animas, Colo., where he was working at plastering when he was shot and instantly killed Tuesday March 26th. The body was brought here for burial arriving Saturday evening, the funeral being held next day at the Christian church here at 2 p.m., services being conducted by Rev. Davis of St. Joseph, Mo. His parents, one brother and four sisters are dead leaving one sister Mrs. J.S. Gil and four brothers, A.V., L.N., W.G. and C.E. The deceased was a member of the I.O.O.F., who had charge of the funeral, interment being made in the R.P. cemetery Easter afternoon.

    Shot and Killed
    John M. Hedges, a brother of Walter Hedges, was shot and killed in Denver a week ago Monday, by Frank Butts. Butts, who shot Hedges was drunk. The Denver News says of Hedges: “John M. Hedges, a carpenter, who was shot and killed by Frank Butts, came to Denver from Denison, Kansas, last Aug. The delight of the wife and four children as she read the many quaint sentences of a special delivery letter received yesterday morning from the father were soon to turn to sorrowing tears as only a little later that same mother read a telegram stating the father was shot and killed.
    “I cannot account for the strange tragedy,” said Mrs. Hedges. “The only thing that might cause it was the fact that Butts owned my husband money, and my husband was going to leave him.
    “My husband came to this state for his health, his brother and four sisters having died of consumption. He feared the same fate.”
    J.M. Hedges was 37 years of age. He leaves a wife and four young children. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. J.S. Gill, of Topeka and four brothers, Marlon, Walter, Edgar and A.V. Hedges of Kansas. His father died only six weeks ago. Walter Hedges attended the funeral of his brother at Denison, Sunday, which was held under the auspices of the Odd Fellows.

    John M. Hedges, a brother of Walter Hedges, was shot and killed in Denver a week ago Monday, by Frank Butts. Butts, who shot Hedges, was drunk
    The Horton Headlight-Commercial, Horton, Kansas. Thursday, 11 April 1907.


    The preliminary hearing of Frank Butts, charged with the killing of J.M. Hedges, was held in Las Animas before Justice T.D. Britton. Butts was held without bail until the term of the District Court. It is probable that the defense will try to secure a continuance. In murder cases a continuance is almost always granted over one term, and Butts’ condition is mush that he will probably never be tried for he will hardly live until November.

    High Water Mark for Life Timers At Pen
    James Selfridge No.6932, convicted of murder in the first degree in the district court of Mineral county, was received at the penitentiary Tuesday night to begin a life sentence in the prison. Soon after his arrival the sheriff from Bent county came with Frank Butts, who was given No.6935, who is to serve a life term for murder. Both prisoners are 30 years old.
    Their arrival increased the colony of lifetimers to sixty-five, the highest number of lifers within the walls at any time during the history of the prison. The prison population is now 617, an increase of eighteen over the low water mark of two months ago.

While there in September 1900 he became despondent, sold his horse and buggy to Joe Lowder, getting part cash and a note which he sent to his mother. The note never was paid. He wrote saying he was going west and would write as soon as he got settled. His family advertised for him and broadcast appeals after radio came into use.


    LKH note:
    No records for Russell found after the 1900 census when he is in his parents' household in Illinois.

    However, it is possible that there might be a record of him in 1904 in Nebraska.

    There is a Russell Hedges listed on the US Army Register of Enlistments whose age and place of birth matches. It also appears that he had two prior enlistment periods and the remarks seem to indicate that he was discharged two years later in 1906.

    Fireman Stops Burlington Train No.17 When He Looks Up and Find Engineer Gone; Evidence Brought Out That He Had Trouble With Burlington.
    Engineer Elmer Daugherty, about 60 years old, who lived at Brookfield, left his throttle of Burlington train No.17 and leaped to his death in East Fork, early this morning, Coroner W. A. Welsh’s jury decided shortly before noon today after hearing evidence in the case.
    The jury was composed of Frank Cook, foreman, H.F. Pike, Dan Davis, Richard Via, D.M. Halliburton and Johnny Brammer.
    Roscoe Cassity, fireman, who was the only man in the engineer with Daugherty after the train left Macon, stated that he saw mothering unusual in Daugherty’s actions and knew of no reason for his being away from his throttle. Cassity described how he was working and all events immediately succeeding his discovery that Dougherty was not at the engine controls.
    It was brought out that Dougherty who had been with the Burlington for 37 years, had an accident about two weeks ago almost at the identical spot of his tragic death and that he was “in trouble” with the company over it.

    God hath not promised
    Skies always blue,
    Flower-strewn pathway
    All our lived through;
    God hath not promised
    Sun without rain,
    Joy without sorrow,
    Peace without pain.
    But God nath promised
    Strength for the day,
    Rest for the labor,
    Light for the way,
    Grace for the trails,
    Help from above,
    Unfailing sympathy
    Undying love.

    Notes:

    Married
    John Q. Boner and Miss Lydia J. Cassity were quietly married in the Standard office at 5:30 o’clock p.m., Monday, Jan’y 8th, Judge S.M. Grigsby officiating.
    This marriage is the consumation of a courtship of several years and the contracting parties have each proven for each other that faithfulness that insures a true union of hearts and lives.
    The bride is a daughter of Peter Cassity, and is a lady of exceptional industry and frugality. She has lived in our city for years, working for her living, and by her womanly deportment has the respect of all who knew here. “Jack” Boner, the groom is also well known in our city. He is a big hearted, clever, well behaved young man, and will we think prove worthy of his bride.
    The married couple left the same evening at 11 o’clock over the O.K. for South Bend, Wash., where “Jack’s” brother lives, and where they will make their future home.
    The Republican extends its best wishes to the wedded couple and hopes for them a happy wedded life.

    Mrs. John Boner Dies At Her Home In Milan
    Mrs. Lydia Jane Boner, wife of John Q. Boner, died at the family home Friday morning, September 4, at 6:30 o’clock after a long illness which had its beginning last January when she suffered an attack of the flue and from that time on Mrs. Boner never regained her usual robust health.
    Mrs. Boner was born September 2, 1874, on the farm home of her parents west of Milan, being 57 years of age at the time of her death. The deceased was the daughter of pioneer citizens, Peter and Alnena Hill Cassity, and was the eighty child of a family of nine children. Five brothers passed to the great beyond previous to her passing as well as her parents.
    Lydia J. Cassity was united in marriage on January 7, 1900, to John Q. Boner, also a native born resident of Milan. Two daughters came to bless the union, one dying in infancy. Mrs. Boner was a home loving woman, and her only interest in life was her devotion to her loved ones of whom she seemed to never tire in doing for. She was not confined to her bed until a short time before the end came. She was ready to go and remarked to those around her bed in the early hours last Friday that she “would be so glad when it was over.”
    She leaves to mourn her a devoted husband, and a daughter, Mrs. Mary Boner Bramble, a sister, Mrs. W.M. Cavenee, of Magna, Utah, two brothers, P.T. Cassity, of Magna, Utah, and W.L. Cassity, of Balko, Okla. The funeral service was held at the family residence Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large gathering of friends and relatives, with Rev. Wilson Bentley officiating, after which interment took place in Oakwood cemetery.
