February 4,1881 Era Mr. and Mrs. C. Hansen of Silver Creek are overwhelmed with grief because of the elopment of their daughter, Anna, only fifteen years old, with a worthless fellow by the name of Isaac Calhoun. Calhoun is about 21 years old, and has lived with his fathers family near Mr. Hansen’s, frequently meeting Anna at the social gatherings in the neighborhood. The absconding couple left on Thursday night of last week, their absence not being known to the girl’s parents until the next morning. Mr. Hansen followed their trail over to Sac City, but there lost the track and can hear nothing of the fugitives since, although he has sent telegrams to every place he can think of where they would be likely to go. There is no doubt but that they are married long before this time, and it would probably do no good now to find them. Mr. and Mrs. Hansen who are estimable people have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire neighborhood and everybody is sorry for the poor deluded girl who has thus tempted their fate. Poor Girl! The Era would be glad to hope that she will not, in bitter anguish, repent the rash act.

August 27,1881 Era Died at his home in this city on August 23, at midnight, Matthew Gray, age 72 years. The deceased was born in Belfast, ME on the 23rd day of 1809 in the month of September. When but four years old his father died and at the early age of thirteen he was orphaned and left to fight single handed and alone the uncertain battles of life. But placed in a situation that would have utterly discouraged many a stouthearted lad of older years, these adverse circumstances only served to bring into requisition all the self reliance of his nature, and independent of aid from any source, he bravely met and surmounted the many obstacles naturally presenting themselves to one thrown upon the world at so young an age. By his own endeavors he obtained a good education and during the years of early manhood laid the foundation of a character noted for its truthfulness and strict integrity. At the breaking out of the Blackhawk war in 1832 he was a resident of Kaskakia, Ill. whiter his mother had moved after the death of her husband. Entering the army he was assigned to the post of Lieutenant, which office he filled with honor and fidelity during the continuance of the war. his regiment was the same as that of the martyred president, Abraham Lincoln, and an acquaintance was here formed between the two which ripened into lasting friendship. At Kaskaskia he wooed and won the heart of a young lady in every way worthy his love, and on Christmas of the same year 1832, he married Margaret G. Bertcher. Lacking one years short for half a century they have walked together the path of life, sharing each other’s joys, and sorrows. Shortly after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Gray moved to Hancock County, Ill.,and there founded the home in which was happily passed the grater part of their married life. Success attended their efforts, and more than a comfortable competency rewarded their labors here. Mr. Grays entire life having been governed by the invariable rule of strict punctuality in business, he could not well fail to secure more than an ordinary amount of property. His pledges were held inviolable and redeemed to the hour. he was most scrhpuous in this respect. In 1875 Mr. Gray came to Ida County and located at this place, and has since made it his home. Last summer he met with an accident while out riding and sustained injured from which it is thought he has never fully recovered . Since the first of January, up to the time of his death, Mr. Gray had been confined nearly all the time to his bed. He has been out of the house but a few times and then only for a short ride in the carriage. Of late he had been much worse, and for a number of days past his death was expected at any hour. Tuesday, at midnight, the last remaining spark of the vitality which had been slowly waning away, died out, and the slender thread clinging so tenaciously to life was severed. Although looked for daily, sadly was the announcements of Mr. Gray’s death received by our people. During his long illness the sympathies of the entire community have been enlisted in behalf of the afflicted family, and in their bereavement they possess to the fullest extent this kindly feeling. Matthew Gray was a man widely known and widely respected. His many noble and genuine qualities commanded the esteem of all with whom he came in contact, both in the business and social relations of life. A devoted lover of home, his greatest pleasures were found in the family circle, and his domestic relations were of the happiest nature. To his children he ever proved a kind father, to his wife a loving husband; and he has but passed through the valley of death to wait upon the other side for her who so nobly aided him during the journey thither. And thus passes away a life well spent, marked by a few errors, and rich in works which live after the g rave. Six children unite with the widowed wife in mourning the loss of the departed one. The names and residences are; James M. Gray, Pine Bluffs, Arkansas; Anna G. Warren, Princeton, Illinois: Sam S. Gray and Mrs. Sarah Hansen, Hamilton, Illinois; Mat. M. Gray and Mrs. Nellie Browning of this city. The funeral occurred Thursday at 10 o’clock.
