[AMMONS, FORNEY W.]
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Monday, June 9, 1930
Forney W. Ammons – In olden time Enoch walked with God and was not for God took him. The same experience continues and on June 3, 1930, Forney W. Ammons ceased to walk on earth and took up an unbroken companionship with God in His eternal world, aged 71 years, 4 months and 4 days. Mr. Ammons was the son of Abram and Rebecca Wade Ammons and was born Jan. 29, 1859, near Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. The residence was changed from Pennsylvania to Iowa in 1885 and on December 15, 1887 he was united in marriage to Miss Nettie Mae Rumbaugh. This union remained in perfect harmony till death did them part. For many years the home was on the farm one mile north of Hawleyville and from here they came to their home in Clarinda, Iowa.
For many years Mr. Ammons was connected with the Church, first as a Cumberland Presbyterian and later as a member of the Methodist Episcopal. He did a full share of loyal service both at Hawleyville and Clarinda both in Sunday School and elsewhere. As he sat reverently in his place on the Sabbath he was an ideal listener to the Gospel. He allowed the power of the risen Christ to have a large place in his life and was loyal to the highest ideals and services. There is a vast need of such men on earth, and we are sure of their reward in heaven.
Those whose hearts are sorrowing because of the present separation are: Mrs. Ammons and their children, Mrs. Adda Marion Oldham of Eddyville, Iowa and Eugene Rumbaugh Ammons of Hollywood, Calif.; two sisters, Mrs. Mary Fox of Brooks, Pa. and Mrs. Nettie Myers of Carmichael, Pa.; brothers, Douglas Ammons of Sebring, Fla. and Frank Ammons of Washington, Pa. Other relatives join with them in their sorrow. As those nearest to him bow their heads in grief they are surrounded by a host of friends who mourn also the loss of his companionship. Yet we sorrow not as those who have no hope for the same God who walked with Enoch has invited Forney Ammons into his eternal home to abide there forever. The sure passing of time will also open the unseen door for all who love the Christ to the companionship that abides forever.
The funeral services were held from the home on East Nishna street Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock with Dr. David J. Shenton in charge. Music was furnished by Mrs. Leo Humphrey and Mrs. J. G. Scroggs. Pallbearers were John Douthit, E. G. Strong, Clay Swisher, Chas. Hook, C. C. Jackson and Harley Burwell.

December 15, 1887, she was united in marriage to Forney W Ammons. They established their home on a farm north of Hawleyville and in 1912 they moved to their home at 200 east Nishna in Clarinda. Her husband preceded her in death, June 3, 1920 [1930].
Two children survive, Mrs. Roy (Adda Marion) Lueder of Omaha and Eugene of Hollywood, Calif. She was an active member in the Hawleyville M E church for many years.

COIN – A. [ndrew] P. Anderson, who died so unexpectedly on New Year’s night, would have been 74 years old on Feb. 3. Grandpa Anderson has made Coin and vicinity his home for over thirty-three years. The first hotel in Coin was managed by him, which burned down. Later he engaged in the mercantile business and last in the implement business, which he had to give up on account of poor health. He was an honest upright citizen, without an enemy—a real church man, delighting especially in the Sabbath school and prayer meeting. He was ready for death in every way and had told one of his boys lately that he would soon join his wife and children passed on before him. The funeral was conducted by Rev. A. R. Miller at the Methodist Episcopal church Saturday morning and the body gently laid to rest in the Elmwood cemetery. He leaves to mourn his departure, Del and Earl Miller, business men in Coin, and Emery of Tarkio, Mo., two sisters in Illinois and three brothers, to whom our sympathy is extended. Besides hosts of friends who will greatly miss not only his familiar figure but the good influence cast only by men living such upright and honest lives as he had lived.

ESSEX -- Our town and Community were thrown into sorrow at the announcement Sunday morning of the death of little Hilma Anderson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson. She was a bright little girl of 11 years, and her death came quickly and unexpectedly. She was in school Wednesday, apparently well, and was taken ill and her home. Thursday the trouble was pronounced appendicitis and inflammation of the bowels. The funeral was at 2:30 p. m. Monday at the Lutheran church and was largely attended.

[ANDERSON, HILMA CHRESTINA CECELIA]
Essex Independent (Essex, Iowa), Friday, May 3, 1901
A Child Called Home.
“The brightest flowers wither early.” These words are impressed upon our mind as we announce the death of Hilma, the youngest daughter of John Anderson and wife.
On a beautiful spring day when the rays of sunlight were kissing open the eyes of the sleeping flowers and the gently zephyrs were causing all nature to unite, an unseen visitor entered a home in our midst, “where but one angel came in, two went out,” the home had been saddened and little Hilma had closed her eyes to the earthly scenes and her lips were sealed in death.
The sickness was of short duration as she had attended school on the previous Wednesday. All that loving hands and medical skill could do for her was done but she fell a victim of that dreaded disease of appendicitis and on Sunday at 10 a. m. the slender cord upon which her life was hanging was severed.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon and the services were largely attended. The members of Miss Provins room attended in a body and the pall bearers were 12 of her classmates, 6 boys and 6 girls.
Rev. Seashore conducted the services and there were many beautiful flowers.
Hilma was only a little more than 11 years old and being very bright was well advanced in her studies. She is mourned by her parents, one brother, several sisters and a large number of friends.

The late Mrs. Douglas Bailey, whose interment took place last Friday from her home in the southeast part of town to College Springs cemetery, was born in Butler county, Pa., June 27, 1823, and died at Clarinda, Oct. 23, 1901, aged 78 years 3 months and 23 days. She was married to Douglas Bailey of the same locality in the east, May 28, 1844, and resided there until 1852, when they emigrated to Iowa, settling at Cedar Rapids, from whence they shortly after moved to Washington county, this state, which was their home until 1859, when they moved to Page county, settling in the vicinity of College Springs, from whence they moved to Clarinda a few years ago. The late Mrs. Bailey’s maiden name was Nancy Campbell McMurray, of north of Ireland descent. She and her husband united with the Associated Reformed Presbyterian church in Washington county, a body which was subsequently merged in the general assembly of the United Presbyterian church and remained an upright and humble Christian and loyal member of the church of her choice until the day of her death. She was received into the fellowship of the church under the ministry of Rev. S. V. Vanata, who, along with his wife, was shot dead at Vicksburg, he having been a missionary to the colored people of the south. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were blessed with a family of eight, one dying in infancy and another at the age of 13 years. The six surviving children are Mrs. Charity Jane Kumlehn, living in Clarinda, Mrs. Rebecca Ann Buchanan, who resides at Tingley, Mrs. Elizabeth Agnes Berringer, residing two miles east of Clarinda and Hannah Sarah, who is single and who had been constantly waiting at her mother’s bed during her protracted illness; and Alexander Scott and David D., the former of whom resides in Jewell county, Kan., and the latter in Gove county, same state. The two sons and in fact all the children have been most faithful and devoted in their attention since the mother took ill, fifteen months ago and have in turn watched and waited by her bedside, ministering to her comfort in her illness. The late Mrs. Bailey bore her illness of many months duration with Christian resignation and fortitude and never wavered in her faith in the Saviour she loved and served. The funeral services were conducted at the home last Friday morning by her pastor, Rev. J. W. S. Lowry, of the United Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. J. W. Dill.
A large and sympathetic company attended the funeral. [Poem not transcribed.]

Bertha Carson Baker was born in Mahoney county, Ohio, Nov. 11, 1866; was married May 12, 1887, to Joseph Baker. Four children were born to them, Roy, Roscoe, Edna and Irene, all of whom with the father, are left to mourn the loss of their most loving and faithful mother.
Seven years ago she joined the Congregational church at Farragut and was a communicant in that church when death came. Owing to her affliction she had not transferred her membership here.
Mr. Baker and his family came into this neighborhood last October, taking a farm and had made many friends by their kindly nature and industry; and when the sudden sorrow came, all who knew them were quick to proffer sympathy and help.
The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. in the Presbyterian church, Dr. Smith officiating and drawing lessons and cheer from the story of the transfiguration of Christ. After a last view of the face and form, beautiful even in death, they were carried to our cemetery and laid away, tenderly and lovingly, to await the call of the last day, when they that are in their graves shall arise to meet their Lord in the air, and to be forever together and with Him. What greater praise could be given than the testimony of the husband: “She was so kind and loving, and we were so happy together.”  [Poem not transcribed.]

Wednesday, March 13, 1901, citizens of this place were grieved when the announcement was made that T. [heron] C. Bates had passed in the sleep of death. It had been known for several days that he was a sufferer from pneumonia, but no serious results was expected to take place and thus the announcement of death came as a severe shock upon our people. T. C. Bates was a man well known in this part of the state among the musical class, and his education and ability in that direction were far greater than most people possessing the talent. He was classed among the best musicians of southwestern Iowa and his services were very much in demand. He was organizer and director of Bates’ Girl band, a musical organization of much merit, and which has appeared in most every town in this part of the state and northwestern Missouri. T. C. Bates was born in Parkman, Geauga county, O., Feb. 14, 1866. In Gallatin, Mo., Feb. 14, 1895, he was married to Miss Grace Kirkendall and to them was born one son, Charlie, who is now 4 years old.

Loveland Reporter (Loveland, Colorado), Thursday, August 8, 1901
Died Saturday, August 3.
Mrs. Margaret Blair died on East Fifth Avenue—aged 67 years, six months, 11 days. Mr. and Mrs. Blair celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage on the 19th of last September at the home of T. A. Harrison north of town. Two months and four days later her husband died—and since that time Mrs. Blair has visibly failed in health. Almost her last remarks were of her husband whom a half century had endeared to her.
Mrs. Blair was mother of eight children—one of whom is in Tennessee—while Elmer, Thomas, Frank, Charles, Mrs. John Croskey, Alice and Maggie were here at her side. She was a lifelong member of the united presbyterian church—and was highly esteemed by a large circle of acquaintances. Funeral services were held by Rev. A. W. Jamieson Sunday afternoon—after which the remains were shipped to College Springs, Iowa, for interment—accompanied by Frank and Miss Alice.

[BLAIR, MARGARET “LUCY’ MAUGHLIN]

The funeral services of Mrs. Margaret Blair were held in the U. P. church Tuesday morning at nine o’clock and the remains interred in the College Springs cemetery, at the side of her husband, James A. Blair, who died last November.
Mrs. Blair died in Loveland, Colorado, last Friday, August 2d, from a stroke of paralysis, aged 67 years, 6 months and 16 days. She had been the wife of Mr. Blair since October 19, 1850.
They moved to Page county a few years before the war and during the war they lived near Braddyville on the Missouri side of the state line. During the war while Mr. Blair was serving as a soldier in the Missouri state troop, Mrs. Blair was taking care of the little family and helping a cousin, Miss Lizzie Sellert, farm the land.
At times when there was serious danger from prowling rebels she encouraged her husband to stay hid out at night preferring to meet the rebels without him than have him exposed to their outrages.
She leaves a large, well raised family to mourn the loss of a father and mother, so near the same time, there being about eight months between the dates of their decease.
She had for many years been an extremely affectionate wife, mother and friend and from early life had been excellent as a member of the United Presbyterian church. Her life and character reminded one much of the valiant woman we have described by Solomon in Prov. 31:10-31. “She rests from her labors and her works do follow her.”

Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, February 15, 1901
One of Clarinda’s best and most highly respected ladies, Mrs. Mary Burns, died Tuesday morning at her home in this city, of pneumonia, after a short illness. As late as last Thursday evening she was down town, where she called at a store and remarked to an acquaintance that she guessed she had better go home, as her lungs were hurting her. She was taken with pneumonia and so short was her illness that it was not known by many of her friends and the community generally, that she was critically ill, before she died. The late Mrs. Burns was the widow of Captain George W. Burns, who preceded her to the grave several years. He was one of the leading citizens of Page county, a defender of his country’s flag in the civil war, a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the older citizens frequently mention him most kindly in recital of his deeds and their friendly connection with him. The maiden name of Mrs. Burns was Clark. She was born at Canton, Ill., April 5, 1836. Her marriage to Mr. Burns took place Sept. 13, 1855. They came to Clarinda about forty years ago. Three children survive the death of these parents, as follows: Mrs. Fannie Milhone, wife of Lambert Milhone, Clarinda; Mrs. Mollie Sharp, Clarinda; and Joseph Burns, Marysville, Kan. she also leaves a brother, F. M. Clark, in this city, and two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Hardesty, of Canton, Ill., and Mrs. Eliza Nies of Port Townsend, Wash. The funeral was held at 2 o’clock, Wednesday afternoon at the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she had long been a member. The remains were accompanied from the late home of the deceased, to the church, by the ladies of the Woman’s Relief corps, the members of Clarinda Chapter, No. 214, Order of the Eastern Star, and Warren post, No. 11, G. A. R. The services were conducted by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, assisted by Dr. T. C. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Mr. IlgenFritz paid a high tribute to the worth of Mrs. Burns—as a woman, a Christian member of the Relief corps and Eastern Star, commending her virtues, her hospitality and her patriotic love of country. At the conclusion of the church service the Relief corps gave its beautiful and impressive ceremony, after which the large congregation viewed the remains. The Methodist choir sang appropriate hymns. The pallbearers were members of the Grand Army post. Beautiful floral offerings were given, including a star from the Eastern Star, and flowers from the Relief corps. The burial was in the Clarinda cemetery.

The funeral was held at the Christian church Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, conducted by Rev. W. T. Fisher, assisted by Dr. T. C. Smith. Mrs. Callicotte was the eldest child and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Bracken. She was born July 22, 1858, about seven miles southeast of this city and a few years later Mr. Bracken and family moved to this city, where they have since resided. Miss Bracken was married to J. [acob] W. [inchester] Callicotte, Feb. 12, 1874. The wedding took place in the old Methodist Episcopal church, which was located at the northeast corner of the square, the officiating minister being Rev. Thomas Wallace. Mr. and Mrs. Callicotte made their home in this city for several years after their marriage and then entered the theatrical profession, traveling extensively. Tiring of this work they returned to Clarinda after a few seasons and located on a farm west of town. Later they again took up the Thespian art and were accompanied by their children in the work. In 1897 they returned to this city from a successful season in British Columbia, erected a brick building on the northeast corner of the square and engaged in the grocery business, where they have since been located. Mrs. Callicotte had been in poor health for some time and several weeks ago went to Excelsior Springs, Mo., where her father was at that time taking treatment, with the hope of being benefited by the mineral water. Instead of improving she began to sink and was brought to her home two weeks ago in a very feeble condition and gradually became worse until the hour of her death. She was a faithful member of the Christian church and loved and respected by all who knew her. She leaves five children, whose names are Clyde, Guy, Vern, Flossie and Bessie. Clyde was not present at the funeral, being in the east with a theatrical company and his address is unknown. Two brothers, A. S. Bracken of Kansas City and W. N. Bracken of Lincoln, Neb., were present at the funeral services. The floral offerings at the home and church were very nice. Mrs. Callicotte’s Sabbath school class marched beside the hearse from the home to the church and also assisted in the vocal selections. Mr. Fisher’s text was, “For Me to Live is Christ, and to Die is Gain;” from Philippians i, 21. Dr. Smith read the Scripture lesson and led in prayer.

[COKENOWER, HARVEY LEROY]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, September 20, 1901
Dr. H. [arvey] L. [eroy] Cokenower died Thursday morning, Sept. 19, 1901, at 5:30 o’clock at his home in this city, of Bright’s disease. He was 46 years of age and lacked only a few days of being 47. He leaves a widow and two children, Lloyd and Helen.
The funeral will be held Saturday, the 21st inst., at 2 o’clock at the home, and will be conducted under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity.
The late Dr. Cokenower was a gentleman of large information of the most useful character. Added to his knowledge of books was that gained from practical experience. Particularly in his later years he was an extensive traveler. Naturally able and keen of observation, quick to grasp the important points in a subject, with a nature modest and manly, a clear thinker and a good talker, courteous and obliging, he was a most interesting companion. To those in whom he confided and felt no hesitancy in speaking freely he would occasionally reveal innermost thoughts of the heart that emphasized him as one of lofty motives and beliefs, of the highest and purest character. Over and beyond all he had strong faith in God and Christian religion. Anything in the nature of a sham he viewed with the contempt it deserved. The genuine attracted his admiration. He was frank and plain, resourceful, tactful, diplomatic and withal honorable. In personal appearance he was a striking figure, tall, slim and dignified. With marked intelligence of countenance; a man who by his manly bearing would attract notice in any place or assembly. When he had attained high standing in his profession his health failed him, but he battled onward; struggled to gain that grasp on life that would carry him forward a living man, strong in the race. The fight was long and heroic. A master in his profession he studied his own case fearlessly as he would that of another, and so realized too keenly his critical condition of the past few months yet had the iron will of a hero and was determined to hold to life as long as he could. Recently a friend called to see him. The invalid doctor, seated in an easy chair, his physical being in pain, his breathing hard, his strength decreased, weak and weary, but with mind strong and philosophic, discoursing of the serious phase of his health, in the closing of the interview said as with a hopeful struggle and as though questioning for an assuring response: “I have more than an even chance to recover!” Poor man! He wanted to forget for the moment. There was nothing for the visitor to do but try to smile and evade with some cheerful common place response, for death, inevitable death, it seemed, could not be far away and the last hand clasp was for the friend far more pathetic and touching than the doctor knew.
And so the doctor is gone! A wide circle of friends mourn the death of a good and patriotic citizen and neighbor. A kind and loving husband and father is gone. A community, mourning for the nation’s dead, mourn too, its own immediate dead.

E. Arnold, Thomas Brown, Otis Lucas and Edwin Lisle, who sang, “Abide with Me,” and “Savior Comfort Me.” At the close of the service at the house the familiar face in the repose of death was sorrowfully viewed for the last time and the bearers, from the Masonic fraternity, Doctors Max E. Witte, M. Enfield, T. E. Powers, E. T. Farrens, C. C. Parriott and F. P. Wells, bore the casket containing the remains to the hearse, and led by the Masons on foot, in solemn march the funeral procession wended its way to the city cemetery.

Powers, the worshipful master of Nodaway lodge, after which Dr. Smith offered prayer, the casket was lowered in the grave and the Masons deposited their sprigs of evergreen with the white leathern apron; upon which also were laid beautiful floral offerings from those near to the departed.

Nov. 1, 1889, the wife and mother was called to her heavenly home and since that time Father Cooper has often expressed a wish to join her but would usually add, “But God surely still has some work for me here on earth before I go.” Although in feeble health for the past five years, he has nearly all that time been able to be up and about the house, and his last illness was only of about two weeks’ duration and he passed into the better life Monday, Feb. 25, 1901, at 4:30 a. m. The funeral services were held at the late home, Feb. 26, Rev. T. C. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian church, preaching the sermon from Isa. 64-6. A large concourse of relatives and friends followed him to his last resting place in our own beautiful city cemetery. He was faithful and now is crowned.
