Lenox Time Table, Lenox, Iowa Thursday May 6, 1915 Barton, Mary Eva – [picture and articles] Barton, Russell - Mrs. Frank Barton and Little Son Meet Death in Platte River Last Saturday evening T F Armstrong received word that his niece and her baby boy had been drowned in Platte River, just south of Bedford. Mr. Armstrong went to Bedford Sunday morning on the early train and gleaned some details of the accident. The Barton family live near Gayuor, a little town situated a few miles from Parnell City, Mo. The parents of Mr. Barton live in Bedford and the Bartons were driving, with team and buggy, to that place to visit over Sunday. The recent rains caused the Platte to overflow and at the time of the accident about two feet of water covered the grade that approaches the bridge. This grade curves somewhat and it is supposed that Mr. Barton, not being familiar with the road, drove his team over the bank. Horses, buggy and the three occupants were thrown, into the deep water. Mr. Barton tried to assist his wife and little son but they disappeared in the water and he was swept down stream about a hundred yards where he grasped a clump of willows and kept his head above water until help came. Mrs. Barton's body was not found more than and hour after the accident, and the body of the child was not discovered until the following morning. The team was drowned probably having become entangled in the harness and the buggy sank into the water. The accident occurred about 6 o’clock Saturday evening. Just before reaching the bridge the Bartons met a man who had just crossed over and offered to return and pilot them across. Mr Barton thought there was no danger and for this reason did not accept the profered offer. Mrs Barton’s former home was in New Market where she grew to woman hood and many of her relatives reside. She is a daughter of Mr Armstrong’s sister, but in late years have seen little of each other as Mrs Barton had made her home in Missouri for a number of years. She was about 45 years of age.

Milton “Milt” - Lenox Time Table, Lenox, Iowa Thursday May 6, 1915 Henderson, J. Milton “Milt” - J. Milton Henderson, son of William Thomas and Amanda Henderson, was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, May 11th, 1847, and died at his .home near Clearfield, May 6th, 1915, five days only short of reaching 68 years. When 17 years of age he left his Ohio home, with a party of neighbors who were “going west" in wagons. Reaching western Illinois he was so pleased .with the country that he made it his home. The ambitious visions ; of boyhood days now began to be realized, as he could plow without constantly hitting rocks, while eastern Ohio's omnipresent hills were displaced by the plains of' the Mississippi valley. In the spring of 1876 he removed with his family to Taylor county, Iowa, where he has held continuous residence, save four years spent in Tarkio, Missouri. Mr. Henderson: was married on February 29th, 1872, to Viola C. Brown. To them seven children were born, four sons and three daughters, Bertha died in infancy, the others were all with him during his last illness, and used every means which love and skill could devise to make for his comfort and the prolonging of his life, but the complication of troubles which had been preying upon his vitality for a year brought the end early last Thursday morning. The surviving children are Prof. Frank, of Clarinda, Editor Ray, of the Sanford, Mont. Times; Thomas, Floyd, Cora, and Mrs M.M. Overmire, of Taylor county. Mr. Henderson professed his faith in Jesus and united with the United Presbyterian Church at Sunbeam, Ill. under the pastorate of Rev. J. H. Nash, and continued in communication of that denomination throughout his life, a consistent, faithful, devoted follower of the Savior. His faithfulness in attendance upon church services, his generosity in their support, and his loyalty to the .principles of the church of his choice constantly rebuked the carelessness of many. As one who knew him well said, “He did not proclaim his goodness from the house tops, but he kept living so that his life became eloquent speech heralding his integrity”. No one ever questioned the gentleness of his Christian character. The hope that the world can neither give nor take away sustained him in his last hours. The bereaved widow and children are justly proud of the life he lived, and today comfort themselves with the promise of God, to true believers in Jesus that glory is his portion for integrity. In life Mr. Henderson was ambitious for the best for his loved ones He gave his children a good education: four of them completing a full college course. He was a hardworking man, and as a result of his thrift and industry, was reckoned among the successful farmers of Taylor county. The funeral was held at the old home on Friday afternoon conducted by his pastor Rev T R Aikin of Clearfield. Interment was in Lenox. A large concourse of friends were at the funeral to give expression of their highest esteem of the deceased, and to their sympathy to the bereaved.

D. Martin, one of Stafford's oldest and most highly respected citizens, died very suddenly at his home in this city Monday morning.

He had been in the best of health, had attended all church services as usual the day before, and before breakfast time Monday morning had been working in the yard. Then as he sat at the table asking for divine guidance upon the activities of the day he was called from life unto death. In thus reaching an abrupt end, Mr. Martin achieved something for which he had often expressed a desire. He was a man of giant frame, and with a thoughtfulness for others which was characteristic of him he had often said he hoped that when his time came to go he might go quickly, as a man of his size would be a great care and burden to himself and others in a prolonged illness.

D. and E. E. attended the funeral. Lenox Time Table, Lenox, Iowa Thursday July 29, 1915 Last Friday morning the people and vicinity were shocked to learn that G. W. Page, one of the old residents of the community, a highly respected citizen, had taken his life. Mr Page had been afflicted with cancer in his face for a couple of years and of late had suffered greatly. Medical science held out no hope for relief and the unfortunate man knew that the dread disease would have but one termination. He knew that death was but a matter of weeks, or months at most, and had made all preparation for his funeral services and burial. Several months ago he left orders with H A Ethington, a Lenox carpenter for his coffin, which was to be constructed according to his plan. This spring he had a fine monument erected. The evident object of Mr Page in making these preparations was to relieve friends from looking after these matters. As the stages of the dread disease progressed the pain reached a degree that became torture from which the mind could not be diverted and it is thought that his mind became deranged and in a fit of despondency he committed the rash act which terminated his life. He had spoken frequently, we have heard, of his condition and from things he let drop friends believed he would take his life. Relatives kept watch on his movements but Friday morning he arose early and went to one of his barns where he secured a rope and after tying one end of it to a timber in the loft and the other around his neck allowed his body to drop through the hatchway leading to the loft. When he was missed from he home immediate search was made with the result that the lifeless body was found about 7 o’clock in the morning. Mr Page was one of the old settlers of Taylor county. For many years he lived on a farm about four miles east of town. He sold that farm and bought a tract of land adjoining Lenox some 25 or 30 years ago. Quite a good share of this land is now resident properties, having been sold out in lots and acreages to those who wanted to build homes in Lenox. The deceased was a successful business man and acquired large property holdings. He was a public spirited man and his benefactions were meted out with unstinted hand. He was eccentric but his rough exterior hid a generous heart as many of the recipients of his benevolences and generosity have good reason to know. No man in Lenox will be more greatly missed than Mr Page. The life of G. W. Page is now a matter of history—history that is closely interwoven with that of the growth and development of the town in which he lived. The funeral, which was held from the home at 3:00 o’clock Sunday afternoon, was largely attended by friends who came to pay a last tribute to the one they had known for so many years. Mr Page was in his eightieth year at the time of his death. Geo. W. Page was born Brown Co. Ohio December 31, 1835, and passed away at his home in Lenox July 9, 1915 beings at the time of his death 79 yrs, 6 mos. and 9 days. He came to Livingston Co., Ill in 1857, then on Sept 18, 1859 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Jane Livingston who was born in Licking County Ohio. In 1865 they removed to Iowa, locating near Sandyville, then in 1873 he with his family removed to a farm near Lenox residing until the spring of 1888 when he sold out and bought a farm adjoining the town of Lenox where he resided until his death which came so sudden after suffering for over two years with that dread disease of cancer. All that loving hands and medical aid to do was to no avail. The marriage of Mr and Mrs Page was blessed with one son and five daughters. All of whom are living and were present after his death: Anna, Alta, Etta, Abraham, Janetta and Emma.
