[GADDIS, MARY ELIZABETH METCALF]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, December 7, 1900
Mary Elizabeth Metcalf was born in New York state, May 27, 1820. A few years later she moved with her parents to Knox county, Illinois, which was the scene of her early life and conversion. In 1839, she was united in marriage with Jacob Gaddis. Twenty years later, with their six children, they moved to Page county, Ia., where they lived an unbroken circle until the civil war, when by the sending home of John C. disabled, caused the father, though past age, to offer his services, resulting in the giving of his life for his country. In loving service for her own and others, seeking only to exalt her Master, this mother's life has shone forth as a noble example and her works do follow her. As earth receded and heaven opened to her view, though suffering intensely, she exclaimed triumphantly, "Christ has suffered more than this for me. His word is true. It's all right, all right." Of her six children, all survive her except John. C., who passed to his reward six years since. She lived to be loved by twenty grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. On the early morning of Dec. 3, the sixty-first anniversary of her wedding day, she departed this life, rejoicing to accept the invitation to the great marriage supper above. The funeral services were held in the Wesleyan Methodist church at College Springs and conducted by the pastor, assisted by the Methodist Episcopal minister, Rev. J. A. Ross.

Meets Instant Death. Levi B. Harmon Loses Life By Fall From Car Steps.
He Was a Bridge Carpenter on the Humeston and Shenandoah Railway—As the Train He Was On Saturday Night Was Nearing Clarinda Station He Accidentally Falls.
Levi B. [luford] Harmon, a bridge carpenter whose home was in this city, lost his life Saturday evening as he was returning home from his work at a point east of here on the Humeston and Shenandoah railway, in whose employ he was
As the train neared Clarinda station Mr. Harmon left the inside of the coach where he was and went out on the platform. About thirty yards east of the stock yards Mr. Harmon fell from the steps and it seems that his head struck the ties as well as the ground. He was so injured that he died instantly.
The remains were given careful attention. A coroner's inquest was held Monday morning at the office of Dr. S. R. Millen, county coroner, at which the witnesses were Dr. T. E. Powers, the physician called to examine the remains, and the following railroad men: John Kimsey, Charles Cavendar, Charles Miller, Elmer Miller, Samuel Hoskins and P. S. Boyle. It seems from the evidence that there was a broken car step simultaneously with his fall. There was no evidence of a sensational nature. The coroner's jury was composed of W. L. Lundy, J. H. Rankin and W. B. Craig.
Verdict of the Jury.
The coroner's jury returned the following verdict: "Deceased came to his death by falling from the platform or steps of the train of the Humeston and Shenandoah railway, about one quarter of a mile south of said station at Clarinda, Page county, Ia., and the immediate cause of death resulted from a compound fracture of the skull, caused by striking on the end of the railroad tie. Said accident occurred Saturday, Sept. 22, 1900, about 6 p. m., said Levi B. Harmon falling from the platform steps of the incoming passenger train of the above Humeston and Shenandoah railway, on the above date."
The Deceased.
The late Mr. Harmon had been in the employ of the railroad company for several years, was an excellent workman and a good citizen. His death was greatly deplored in the community. He was born in Washington county, Ind., Nov. 7, 1857, and was therefore nearly 43 years of age. He leaves a widow and two sons, Harry and Roy, the former 14 and the latter 12 years of age. The widow was formerly Miss Jennie Andricks, to whom he was united with in marriage in Clarinda fifteen years ago. He carried $1000 accident insurance in the Woodmen Accident company of Lincoln, Neb., and $750 in railroad accident insurance. The funeral was held Tuesday at 3 p. m. at the Christian church, conducted by Rev. W. B. Clemmer and the burial was in the city cemetery.

[HARRINGTON, ELI PAYTON]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, July 20, 1900
The death of Eli Patton Harrington took place Saturday, the 14th inst., at 12:10 a. m. at his home in Nebraska township. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the Methodist Episcopal church in Hawleyville, conducted by Rev. T. A. Farley and the burial was in the Memory cemetery. The late Mr. Harrington passed away at the age of 71 years. He was a native of the state of New York. During the civil war he was a soldier of the Union army for one year, being a member of Co. H, Fifty-first Illinois volunteer infantry. He was assigned to duty at St. Louis and by reason of his strength did severe duty in the unloading of war vessels. This he kept up, being exposed to hardships in work and weather., obliged to walk in mud and have feet damp from the water. He contracted rheumatism and sustained impairment of his health from which he never recovered. His illness was such that at the end of one year's service he was discharged from the army and as a result of his military experience, he eventually drew the pension of one wholly incapacitated for physical labor. A physician who examined him for a pension said he was as though taken by the shoulders and so shaken and driven together that the cushions had been driven from between his joints. The last time he was able to be in Clarinda was in 1893, when he visited his son, James S. Harrington. The latter thinks his father was not fully dressed for the last five years before his death. For about three years prior to that time, he could not move at all and was compelled to lie in bed in one position. He was a hopeless victim of paralysis. During his long illness he was tenderly and continually cared for by his wife and daughter, Miss Luella Harrington, with assistance, as they could give it, from his other children. He was both a cabinet maker and a shoemaker by occupation. He came to Clarinda with his family twenty-five or twenty-six years ago and after living here seven or eight years, moved to Nebraska township. He was a man of the strictest integrity of character and leaves behind him that proudest of achievements, a good name. Besides his widow three children survive: Mrs. Clara Damewood, wife of P. N. Damewood, J. S. Harrington and Miss Luella Harrington.

BRADDYVILLE – Died, Dec. 14, 1900, Cordelia Hart, beloved wife of John Hart. Cordelia Kees [Keys] was born Jan. 14, 1838, in Madison county, O., removed to Indiana in early childhood; was married to John Hart, May 8, 1854. They moved to Page county, Ia., 1869, locating near Clarinda and for a number of years they had made their home in Braddyville. To this union were born six children, four sons and two daughters. One son preceded the mother to the better land. Sister Hart was converted in 1863, uniting with the Methodist Episcopal church, to which she remained faithful to the end and said she was ready to go from whence no one returns. She leaves behind husband, two daughters and three sons to mourn their loss. She was a kind wife and mother and a better neighbor was not known. The funeral was Sunday at the Methodist Episcopal church after which interment was in the Braddyville cemetery. Truly a good one has gone to her reward. A host of friends join with the bereaved in their sorrow.

[HART, CORDELLA KEYS]

BRADDYVILLE – A solemn day for Braddyville. Sister Mrs. John Hart departed this life Dec. 14 and was buried in the Braddyville cemetery on Dec. 15. Rev. Ross, of College Springs, conducted the services at 11:00 a. m. in the M. E. church of which she had been almost a life member. No words of ours can do Sister Hart justice. Her calm Christian life, her many benevolent acts are too numerous to mention, but her great trust in the blessed Saviour's love and promises was always foremost in Sister Hart's daily walk. This community has sustained a great loss and we can hardly become reconciled, but we know her trials of life are o'er and her journey finished, and she sleeps in the bosom of Him who said, "Let the little children come unto me." Her children were all present except Edward, her eldest son, who is now in California. She leaves a husband, two daughters and three sons to mourn her.

COIN –Those who knew the case of Mrs. Stella Hatch felt that death came as a kind relief to her long weeks of suffering. She died Thursday night and was buried Saturday in the Coin cemetery by Rev.

COIN – Two deaths occurred in Coin last week which have already been reported in several of last week's papers, one being the death of Mrs. Al Bowman, which occurred on Thursday morning, the funeral being held on Friday morning, the other of Mrs. Stella Hatch which occurred on Thursday night and the funeral being held on Saturday, both at the Methodist Episcopal church. Both deaths were particularly sad, the one of Mrs. Bowman because she left a husband in poor health with three small children to care for, the oldest being a nearly helpless child from infancy; the other of Mrs. Hatch, because she was young and anxious for life and health and had suffered so long and had bravely borne the amputation of her right limb in the hopes of thereby securing better health, but as she neared her last days she became reconciled and was willing and ready to go, bidding her friends all goodbye with the assurance that it was "all right."

[HAVER, JAMES JOHNSON]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, May 11, 1900
James J. Haver – James J. Haver was born in Greene county, Pa., Nov. 27, 1847, died at his home in Clarinda, Monday morning, May 28, 1900; aged 52 years 6 months and 1 day. He was the sixth of seven sons born to his father's house and the first of seven to enter the eternal mansions. His early years were spent in Pennsylvania upon the farm, which pursuit he followed most largely in his life's labor. At the age of 15 he moved to Henry county, Ia., where he lived fifteen years. Here Sept. 11, 1870, married his life's companion Miss Bertha Wells. For thirty years they toiled life's sea together, until now, having heard the Pilot's voice, he has "crossed the bar," and entered the blest harbor of rest. To bless and cheer their home, was born four children, of whom, the first born babe, lies in the city of the death at Braddyville; and Alice, Richard and Pearl remain to cheer and comfort the mother in the days of her deepest loss and mourn with her the departure of the beloved.
Twenty-two years ago brother Haver moved to Clarinda, where with the exception of four years he has since lived the quiet, honorable life of a respected citizen in Christian manliness.
April 1893, under the labors of Evangelist Brokaw and C. C. Morrison, pastor, he made the good confession, became a member of the Christian church, in whose fellowship he lived in all faithfulness, "ever looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of his faith." He has had the joy of seeing all his children obedient to the same blessed faith and by his own quiet and patient life sought to lead them in full consecration in the service of the Prince of life.
Some years ago, Brother Haver became a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and of the "Page County Mutual," in which association he was in good standing at his death. The esteem in which he was held is evidenced by the presence today of his former neighbors. His life as I knew him was with the grace of an unassuming manliness, unobtrusive in manner, genial in friendship, loyal to the Christ and the church, a patient, loving, provident husband and father.
About nine years ago he was severely stricken with typhoid, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. Though his recent illness came upon him gradually, he felt, somehow, that he might never recover. Only a few days ago, the great change came as a lightning stroke and now the suffering, which he bore so uncomplainingly, is over. He was most kindly and tenderly ministered unto by his friends, neighbors and loved ones, and he is now
"Where he no longer needs our poor protections.
We are again bereft, but precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints—and this your faith "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want."
"God calls our loved loves, but we lose
    Not wholly what He hath given.
They live on earth in thought and deed
    As truly as in Heaven. – Whittier.
The funeral services were held at the Christian church, Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock in the presence of a large concourse of people, the pastor preaching from John xiv, 4. The burial services was conducted by the Modern Woodmen of America. The body awaits the glorious resurrection. W. B. C.

Mrs. Hollie [Mollie] Henderson, nee Holton, eldest daughter of D.[awson] B.[urgess] Holton and wife, departed this life at St. Joseph, Mo., on the 17th of April, after an illness of only seven days. She was 37 years, six months and eight days old and leaves a devoted husband, her father and mother, four sisters and two brothers to mourn her loss. She was married to Mr. Henderson, of our town, March 1, 1896, and resided here until August 1899, when they moved to St. Joseph, Mo., where they obtained employment in a factory and were doing well and were well liked by their neighbors. Dear Sister Mollie was converted to Christ at our M. E. church here in 1884 and soon became a bright and beaming light in the church and a great worker for Christ and his cause. No halting or weakness was ever shown by this sister in Christs' vineyard. Ever a dutiful and affectionate daughter, kind and sympathetic to all, always showing a respect to old age, she won the hearts of all that came in contact with her. She was a model Sunday School teacher, a pure sympathetic Christian girl of more than the average nobleness of heart. She was born in Pike county Ohio, in 1862 and came to Iowa in 1873 with her parents. She was the stay and comfort of her husband, who is almost frantic over his great loss. The surviving father and mother and all the other relatives have the universal sympathy of this whole community, who weep and mourn with them in this, their great bereavement. A very large concourse of people assembled to pay their sad last respects to one who they had learned to love so well. The services were conducted by Rev. Johnson of the M. E. church and a noble tribute of respect, love and confidence was given the departed sister. The services were also presided over by the Rebecka's who went through the beautiful and impressive ritual of that order, assisted by their brothers the Odd Fellows order in full regalia, and Mollie was laid to rest at her hometown cemetery where her feet had often trod. A noble soul has gone to rest and very many here will strive to meet her in the better world beyond.

After trying to arouse him, he returned to his mother with the report that his father was lying on the floor, but he could not awaken him. Other members of the family went to learn what the trouble was and found him stretched upon the floor, unconscious. Physicians were immediately called, and everything was done for him that could be, but in vain. About 6 o'clock in the evening he passed away, remaining unconscious until the last.

Coin Man Is Killed on County Oiling Job
Army Vet Falls Under Wheels of Dual-Tired Truck
George K Johnson, 22, Is Victim on Road Northwest of Essex, Monday Morning
George Kimball Johnson, 21, only son of Garra Johnson of Coin, was killed instantly Monday morning. He fell beneath the dual-wheels of a heavy truck which was on the road oiling job on county road AA, 3 ½ miles northwest of Essex, near Windy Summit school.
Just what happened, none seems to know, according to county officials. Fred Raybine of Robindale, Minn., was driving the truck in reverse. Johnson customarily rode on the rear of the huge oil-distributing truck. As Raybine was backing to begin the oiling process, the driver noticed that Johnson was not on the truck. Just then felt the rear wheels run over some object. Both wheels had passed over the head of the workman.
Hold No Inquest
Sheriff Ed Hipsley was called, and he took Tom Johnston, justice of the peace, who is acting coroner in absence of L D Walker, to investigate the accident. The officials pronounced the tragedy accidental, and no inquest is to be held.
The Craig-Way Co of Minneapolis, Minn., with J W Craig as owner, has contract for the oiling job and was employer of Johnson.
According to Johnson's driver's license, he would have been 22 years old on November 24, was 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed 175 pounds. He carried membership cards for both American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He was with the 69th anti-aircraft division of the U S army in the recent war.

Gladys Lloyd, daughter of Richard and Margaret Lloyd, was born on a farm near Auburn, Nebr. When a small child her parents moved to College Springs, Ia., where Gladys grew to womanhood, graduating with the class of 1907. Early in her teens Gladys united with the United Presbyterian church at College Springs, later in life changing her letter to the Coin church of which she was a member until her death which followed an operation for acute appendicitis.
February 26, 1914, she was united in marriage to Garra K. [imball] Johnson. To this union was born one child, George Kimball, who has just passed his fourth birthday. He will miss his mother's tender care, for her husband, baby and home came first, although she was a true friend to her friends, club members and neighbors. To Know Gladys was to love her.
She leaves to mourn beside her husband and little George, her mother, who has made her home with them for several years. Gladys is the last of five children, her father dying about three years ago. It is hard to understand, all we can say is, "God's will not ours be done."

J. [ohn] A. [lfred] Jonasson, principal of the public school of Essex, died Tuesday, Feb. 27, at 10 p. m. at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. C. Jonasson, two miles north of Northboro. It was difficult to fix the cause of his death which was ascribed to the general term of heart failure.  His parents and others are of the opinion that it was the result of injury sustained from playing football, he having been badly hurt a year or two ago at that game, of which he was very fond and a frequent player. The deceased was about 25 years of age. He was a graduate of the scientific course at Tarkio college, Tarkio, Mo., and after graduating taught school in the North Liberty district, north of Northboro, then was principal of the public school at Coin and while serving as such was elected last year to the principalship of the school at Essex. About three weeks ago he was called to the home of his parents by the fatal illness of his brother, Oscar Jonasson, and while there was taken fatally ill himself. J. A. Jonasson was one of Page county's brightest young men, an excellent teacher, very popular, widely known, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Northboro. His funeral was held yesterday at 10 o'clock a. m., conducted by Rev. Eugene Slothower of Malvern and the burial was at the Coin cemetery, beside his brother, Oscar. Besides his parents, he leaves two sisters.

COIN – A number of our citizens attended the funeral of J. A. Jonnason [Jonasson] at Northboro Thursday of last week. He was very highly respected by everyone who had known him here. The high school was dismissed for the day in order that Professor Breckenridge and his pupils could attend the funeral.

[JONASSON, JOHN ALFRED]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, March 16, 1900
ESSEX – Wednesday morning, Feb. 28, a message was received in our midst which passed from lip to lip as rapidly as conceivable, which completely shocked the whole community: "Professor J. A. Jonasson is dead." He died that morning at the home of his parents, near Northboro. The professor had gone to his home about three weeks previous to attend the funeral of his brother, Oscar, a student at Tarkio college. On returning home from the funeral, he took his bed, from which he never recovered, dying Tuesday night at 11 o'clock. Mr. Jonasson was principal of our school since last September. During his short stay here his work was excellent. He was a graduate of Tarkio college. The funeral was Thursday March 1, at 11 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Eugene Slothower of Malvern, a favorite minister of the family. The remains were interred in the Coin cemetery beside those of his brother Oscar. Coming as this death does, so soon after a brother, makes it doubly hard for the bereaved family. The public schools were closed Thursday out of respect for their leader. The love and respect in which he was held by teachers, pupils and patrons, and especially brothers and sisters in the Methodist Episcopal church and Christian people generally, can hardly be appreciated. All who became acquainted with him soon felt the influence of his manly character. He has gone to reap his reward. To the bereaved family we extend our deepest heartfelt sympathy in this your sad bereavement.

Mary Patience Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Jones, died at her home west of this city Monday night, May 7, 1900. The funeral was held at the Second Baptist church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. H. Mendenhall. Miss Jones was born west of this city, on the old homestead where she spent her last hours. She attended the public schools of this city until considerably advanced in her studies when she attended the Clarinda Education institute, where she graduated and received a certificate. The first of the present year she entered upon a ten months course in the Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, Mo., a college owned and controlled by colored people. Here she rapidly progressed in her studies and soon became a leader in her classes. She also became prominent among the leading church and Sunday school workers and was a great favorite among her associates. At the completion of three months of studies at this institution her health began to fail her and when informed by her physician that she was suffering from congestion of the lungs it was a shock to her and she immediately gave up and took to her bed. Two weeks later she was removed to her home near this city where she lingered between life and death for a month and then passed away. Miss Jones was tendered the tutorship of a school at Stuartville, Mo., but declined the offer for the reason that she wished to locate further south and was about to accept a similar position in Indian Territory.
