Thos. D. Hall Dead
Thomas D. [odge] Hall of Olsburg died at his residence in that city Tuesday night. For many years past he has resided in that vicinity and was until recently one of the largest land owners in the county. A few months ago, he divided up the greater portion of his property among his seven children, giving them something over $100, 000 in value, retaining only what he considered a sufficient portion to provide for him during his declining years. The deceased was a thorough business man and his large property interests were acquired by him by unceasing toil and the exercise of sound judgment. He leaves six daughters and one son to mourn his death. We have not learned what arrangements have been made for the funeral. Will publish his obituary next week.

Mrs.
Zene Weese [Anna Sophia Lamb
Chesbro] received word Tuesday
evening that her mother, Mrs. Julia [Maxwell] Lamb, died at her home at Denver, Missouri, that
afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Lamb had lived to a great age having almost reached the century milestone. She was
born in Vermont in 1818 and was 97 years old at the time of her death. She came
west many years ago. She was a person of more than ordinary strength of
character and throughout her many years of usefulness her best energies were
devoted to the good of her family and those about her. The infirmities of age
crept upon her slowly and up to a few years ago she was in full possession of
her mental faculties and was quite strong, but a year or more ago, as the
machinery of life became weakened by its many years of action, she became
helpless and her mental faculties became impaired. Not one out of a million born reach the age of ninety and
not one out of two million live to reach the age of three generations, as did Mrs.
Lamb. Mrs. Weese did not attend
the funeral, which took place yesterday, on account of the inclemency of the
weather.

Doris McCormick.
Thursday
of last week Mr. and Mrs. Fred [Lee] McCormick [Ethel Leola Ellis] were bereaved of their sixteen months old
daughter, Doris. The little
one since its birth has been sick most of the time, and despite the tenderest
care and every effort possible put forth to save it, the result was inevitable.
For weeks before the end came, the child was scarcely a moment out of one or
the other of the parents’ arms and this constant attention has intensified the
love of the parents if that were possible. This is the third bereavement Mr.
and Mrs. McCormick have suffered
and they are now childless. Every parent’s heart must beat in sympathy for them
in this dark hour of sorrow. Funeral services were held at the home Friday
afternoon conducted by Elder Brown of the Eagle church. Interment was in the
Bedford cemetery. Notwithstanding the fierce storm that raged all day Friday
friends from far and near were there to assist in the last sad rites, to tender
comfort and sympathy, and bring contributions of beautiful flowers as a token
of their love and esteem for the heart broken parents.

Dr.
G. [eorge] F. [inley] Manker was
called to Red Oak last week to attend the funeral of his father, who died on
Wednesday, March 13, 1895. Of the
deceased the Red Oak Express says: " There is genuine sorrow and regret throughout the city over the
death of John J. [ones] Manker,
which occurred at his home in this city Wednesday morning. Mr. Manker had been in his usual good health, and no warning
had come to himself or family that the end of a remarkably successful and
peaceful life had come. Tuesday night he had been somewhat restless, but he
arose in the morning and proceeded with the usual duties about the home. About
10 o'clock he went into the sitting room, and there a few moments later, Mrs.
Manker found him sleeping quietly
the sleep which knows no awakening. The funeral will be held from the Methodist
church at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. Mr. Manker was in his 77th year, having been born in Warren
County, Ohio, in 1818. He came to
Iowa in 1872, settling first in Fremont county but five years later moved to
Red Oak, engaging first in the milling business, and later on in banking at
Elliott, still, however, retaining his home here.

—From Mrs. S. D. Churchill of
Washington Township, who was in the city on Tuesday, we learn of the arrival in
Gravity on Monday of the remains of Jabez Moore, who committed suicide in Colorado, a few days
ago. The deceased had been living near Denver for several years where he was
engaged in the stock business and was running a cattle ranch. His family
relations had not been pleasant and he separated from his wife some two years
ago. Since then his sister, Mrs. Cadle, and her daughter, who up to that time had resided in Taylor County,
have been keeping house for him and taking care of his family of children. Some
days ago, after writing a note saying that he "was tired of living and was
determined to step down and out,'' he took his shot gun, and placing the breech
against a table and the muzzle against his breast, touched the trigger with the
ramrod. It had evidently been his intention to shoot himself through the heart,
but he aimed too high and the charge, in consequence, was not instantly fatal.
He died from the wound several hours after the shot was fired. The funeral took
place on Tuesday at the Center schoolhouse in Washington Township. He was
formerly well known in Taylor county and was, we are informed, a man of excellent
habits and highly respected.
