Horton, Mildred Dean -

Sunday morning occurred the death of Mrs. J. M. Horton, mother of Mrs. J. M. Williams. For weeks she had been sick and for the past few days had been unable to recognize any of the family.  She had been unable to take nourishment for eight days and hourly the sad moment was anticipated,

yet ever there went a fervent prayer that the dread time might be delayed Especially was it the desire of the family that she might live to celebrate her 6oth wedding anniversary, yet it lacked a few days of that event when the summons came.

There were services held yesterday morning here and the remains were shipped to the old home, where this morning they will be interred.

In referring to the life of the aged and cherished loved one the Rev. Williams has the following mention:  Mildred Dean was born at Thorpe, England, in the county of Lincolnshire, Dec. 18, 1831. She was the second child and eldest daughter of Matthew and Rebecca Dean of the same place.

In May 1854 she came to the United States, where on August 3rd of the same year she was united in marriage at Buffalo, N. Y., to John M. Horton, also recently of England.  This marriage was the consummation of a plan formed in the English home of these young people, in order that they might be enabled

to have a home of their own amid the opportunities that America afforded.

They resided in Buffalo from 1854 to 1862 when they moved to Rock county, Wisconsin, where they resided until 1872, and from there coming to Adams county, Iowa, settling on a farm near the town of Cromwell. They reared their family on this farm and resided there until 1896 when they retired from active life and settled at Lenox, Iowa, where they have made their home until February of this year, when they came to make their home with their youngest

child and daughter, Mrs. James M. Williams of this city.

Mother Horton has been in frail health for several years and during the past few months a great sufferer. She passed away as one in slumber at 3 o'clock, just as the day was beginning to break on Sunday morning, July 26,.with he

husband, two sons and daughter at her bedside. At her death she was in her 83rd year, and had she lived until August 3rd, she would have celebrated the 6oth anniversary of her marriage.

She and her husband were both confirmed in the old country as members of the Church of England, but in their American home became members of the Methodist Episcopal church in whose council they have always taken the deepest of interest.

Interment will be made in the family lot in the cemetery at Cromwell, Iowa, at 10 o'clock this morning Loving hands will lay her to rest beside the graves of her children who have gone before. Her faith was a simple one. Her trust

was in her Saviour implicitly, and her loved ones "bow heavily as those who mourn for a mother." — Perry (Iowa) Advertiser, July 26, 1914

Nesbit, John -

A telegram was received last Sunday evening, telling of the tragic death of John Nesbit, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Nesbit. Mr. Nesbit has been in South Dakota the past year or two since leaving Lenox. Saturday night he was

sleeping in a hotel at Montrose, a town about twenty miles from Sioux Falls, when a fire broke out in the building. The unfortunate man occupied a room not directly connected with the main hall and either failed to hear the alarm or was unable to find his way out.  When found the body was burned beyond recognition but the smoke and heat had done its deadly work. Charles Nesbit, a brother of the deceased went at once to Montrose and brought the body

back to Corning, arriving at that place early yesterday morning. Funeral services were held in the forenoon and interment made in the family lot iu the Corning Cemetery.  The deceased was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Nesbit, of this place, and was past 50 years of age. He has spent many years

in the west but was here with his parents for several months two years ago. He is well known to many of our readers whose sympathy goes out to the bereaved parents and other relatives.

Nolan, Mary Dorsey –

At nine o’clock this morning services over the mortal remains of Mary Nolan will be held at St. Patrick’s church, after which the body will be laid beside that of her husband who died about 20 years ago.  Mrs. Nolan had been in an enfeebled condition, owing to extreme old age, for the past two or three years. She preferred to live alone in her little cottage on the church yard built for her by friends several years ago.  Every day for years friends have looked after the needs and comforts of the aged lady.  There is, perhaps, no one in this community that is better known, in a way, than Mrs. Nolan. With her husband she moved here from Alatuakee county more than forty years ago. There

seems to be some speculation as to the age of the deceased; those who knew her for the greatest length of time are inclined to the belief that she had passed the century mark.  We understand that in later years she gave out that she was born in 1830,  but her mind, owing to age had lost something of its accuracy in remembering dates. Mrs. Nolan's maiden name was Mary Dorsey; she was born in Ireland where she married Patrick Nolan  and from conversation with friends he must have lived there for some time after her marriage. She was in the site where Chicago now lands before the city, now with a population above a million, was thought of. Mrs. Nolan was loyal to

friends and to her Church and the loyalty was mutual; she had many friends to look after her personal comfort and to give cheer, in frequent visits, in her declining years. About a week ago an early morning caller found Mrs. Nolan

in an unconscious condition. From that time she gradually grew weaker

until Tuesday noon when the spirit took its flight.

and Asa of East Pembroke, N. Y. The former of the brothers was present at the funeral.

While not being identified with any church since living in Iowa, he was a believer in and supporter of the church and attended its services until failing health rendered it difficult for him to do so.

Smith, David N. –

This world is not our home, the earth is a vast graveyeard.   We are travelers to the Bar of God.  The things that have to do with this world are transient.  Mortality is all about us.  In every direction we see marks of decay and death.  At the time we are ready to live we must die.  Soon we must go to our long home.  Death is certain.  We may be near the border line just now.  It may be only a short period and we shall have to look through the peeks of the two eternities.  Are we prepared to go?  We are not prepared to go unless we are prepared to remain.  Paul understood it and said, “I am in a straight betwixt two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better, nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful to you.”  The one who is not prepared to live is not prepared to die.  Death, as one who has lived as Christ has desired he should live is only a promotion, it is the graduating  from the high school of life into the University of the soul.  Death has to do with the material things; it cannot affect the soul.  Man does not possess a soul, he is a soul and possesses a body.  David N. Smith will continue to live until his body is mouldered back into dust.  When people shall say of him, “David died there.” They will mean the spirit was separated from the body—his spirit was cut off and flew away.

David N. Smith was born in Johnson County, near Iowa City.  Here he spent his boyhood days and grew to manhood.  While living here he met and gave his hand in marriage to Ann Eliza Hartman of April 5, 1866.  This was a long and happy union. Shortly after their marriage they came to this community, where they reared their family.  For the last year Mr and Mrs Smith have lived in Osceola, Iowa.

Mr. Smith was enjoying fairly good health up until about three weeks ago when the physicians announced that the family had reasons to be somewhat alarmed.  He was taken to the Methodist Hospital in Des Moines for an operation. An incision was made but cancer of  the liver was found to be the trouble and all hopes of his physical recovery were removed.  All was done for him that skill of physician and tender nursing could devise but in vain. On

Saturday morning at 12:05 the spirit took its flight and the clay house was left a shell.  He was 68 years and 3 months old at the time of his death. While

this is not old, it is in years far above the average. After all, men do not live in years, nor in figures on a dial but in heart throbs. has been said that he lives most who thinks most, lives the noblest acts the best. Mr. Smith was a man of noble impulses, cordial in his manner to all and had endeared himself to a wide circle of friends out side the home circle who feel personally bereaved by his death.  Brother Smith confessed his faith in Christ and was buried with him

in Christian Baptism about the year 1878, in Ringgold county, this state. I am told that all these years he has lived his faith in a quiet, beautiful way.

He was the father of nine children, five of whom are still living .  They are Ross Smith of Albuquerque, New Mexico; Mrs. Lotta Stansell of Osceola, Iowa; Mrs.

Edith Anderson of Diagonal, Iowa; Mrs. Clara Binkerd of Des Moines Iowa; aud Mr. Earl Smith of Lenox, Iowa.  Rhoda, Dora, Edwin and Albert preceded their father "Over the Great Divide." Other relatives from a distance attending the funeral were: Mr. John Smith of Osceola [an only brother of the deceased] ; Mrs. Dr. Hoyt of Friend, Nebraska [a sister of the deceased]; Mrs. Gould of Davenport, Iowa and Mrs. Dr. McCanon of Des Moines are also sisters of Mr. Smith but were unable to attend the funeral. Mrs. Gould is very sick and Mrs. Dr. McCanon was delayed by a late train, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel McLaughlin of Hills, Ia. Mr and Mrs Lorin Overholster of Diagonal, Iowa and Mr and Mrs Asa  Bailey of Diagonal, Iowa. 

The funeral services were conducted Monday, May 25, 1914 in the Clearfield Church of Christ by the writer.   The remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Lenox cemetery.  Masons held short services at the church and at the cemetery.  C S Kleener, Pastor Church of Christ
