ELIZABETH K. BEAL Died, at her home in Jacksonville, Aug. 16, 1882, Mrs. Elizabeth K. Beal in the 53rd year of year of her age. Mrs. Beal was born in Georgia, married to Mr. W.K. Beal in the year 1846 and soon after settled in this place where she resided until her death. At an early age she united herself with the Baptist church and during a long life attested her devotion to religion by a consistent walk and godly conversation. Her husband fell upon the battlefields of his country, a martyr to the lost cause, leaving his widow to struggle with misfortune and sorrow, with no protecting arm to shield, alone and unaided to bear the responsilibities of life. Nobly did she fulfill the trust. Kind, tender and generous, her heart was filled with the blest principles that adorn and beautify the character of women. Her ministrations and deeds of love were not confined to her own immediate family circle, but with a liberality of spirit and a benevolence, noble as it was sincere, she took to her heart and home four tender baby children, whose mother was sleeping beneath the sod, far away in the wilds of Arkansas, with a devotion most motherly, with a care and solicitude which bespoke a heart deeply imbued with the true spirit of christian charity and love; she cherished them until the dark death angel hovered around her suffering couch and bore her forever away into the bright realms of immortal life. Peacefully, happily, she stepped from the shores of time into eternity. Death is but the beginning of life. Her pulse is cold and still, her heart has ceased its pulsations forever, her tongue lies silent in the grave, the drifting winds of autumn sigh mournfully and sadly above the mortal casket which is now mouldering under the sod, but the one which lives beyond the lapse of time and survives the crash of falling worlds, has just been born into existance in a land where life is eternal.... "There is no death! An angel form, walks oe'r the earth with silent tread, He bears our best loved things away, and then we call them dead."

The subject of this notice was the daughter of Samuel Cary of Granville, North Carolina where she was born Oct. 12, 1799. In 1819, being about twenty years old, she was married to Zachariah Samuels.

From that time until her death, she remained a devoted member and devout communicant of the church of her choice. A few weeks before she died, being unable to leave her bed to gather with some friends and relatives, she received for the last time "the most comfortable sacrament of the Lord's supper, at which she seemed to be greatly comforted, and, no doubt, was very much refreshed in spirit and strengthened for the last conflict which was just ahead. From that time she gradually declined until "in full age" she was gathered to her fathers, having the testimony of a good conscience, in the communion of the church, in the confidence of a certain faith; in the comfort of a reasonable religious and holy hope, in favor with God, and in perfect charity with the world.

GLOVER There died in Calhoun county, Alabama at the residence of his father Dr. Wyly Glover, on the afternoon of November 16, 1882, in the 26th year of his age, the young man whose name heads this notice (Edwin F. Glover), and I feel it a sad duty incumbent on me to pay a short tribute to his sterling worth as a true man in all that makes a man good and noble; religion, integrity, morality, amiability and great manliness of character. For two years past he has been associated with me in business at Anniston, Ala., as one of my most trusted salesmen in the Dry Goods department of the Woodstock Iron Company's store; and I can truly say that in all my business career, I have never had with me a young man of greater worth. Attentive, polite, accomodating, reliable, never saying aught against any one, he had won the respect and confidence of all who came in contact with him; and no greater evidence could be given as to his worth, popularity and high esteem in which he was held by all classes of customers, than their daily expressions of sad regret that he will no more attend to their wants. While I can easily obtain another salesman, it is a great tribute to his business worth to say it will be a difficult matter to find one to equal in every respect, him who has left us forever. Solomon has said "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches", and in those latter days of rush and struggle for wealth, too frequently without regard to name and character, it is a great consolation, not only to the relatives of Edwin F. Glover, but also to his associates and friends, to know that he not only left a good and unsullied name, but a life's record as a loving and dutiful son, a true friend, and a character for honesty, integrity, amiability and morality, that is worthy the emulation of the young men of Calhoun county. "After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well." T.H. Hopkins, Anniston, Ala., Nov. 23, 1882. ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, DECEMBER 2, 1882 WEAVER'S STATION News Mr. Geo.

After the ceremony and congratulations the bridal party repaired to the residence of the bride's parents where an elegant and sumptuous repast awaited them. May life grow happier for them every day, is the wish of your humble reporter. ---- IN MEMORY OF MRS. SUSAN A. NUNNELLY Died in Jacksonville, Ala., April 29, 1882 after a long and painful illness. Mrs. Susan A. Nunnelly, wife of our esteemed citizen Mr. Joseph Nunnelly. Mrs. Nunnely was born in Talladega county on Feb'y 14, 1831, moved to Jacksonville when quite young where she lived the remainder of her life, honored and loved by all who knew her. She was married to Mr. Joseph Nunnely January 8, 1860; and was to him a helpmeet indeed. She recognized home as woman's sphere and the duties devolving upon her in that sphere as the greatest mission of a wife. Throughout her entire life she culivated those God like virtues and christian graces which characterized her here, and which now beautify her spirit in eternity. In her family and society she filled a place only filled by the most loving, tender and affectionate companion and friend. For more then twenty years she was a consistent member of the Baptist church and up to the time of her death was an earnest, devout, zealous christian. Her religion was of the higher, purer character that impressed those around her in every day life. It was in the hours of her greatest affliction tht the star of her hope of eternal happiness shone brightest. She bowed submissively beneath the rod of affliction and was content to know that the rod was in the hand of her Father, to whom she had unreservedly committed herself and from whom she daily received strength sufficient to bear her up. There was a beauty in her christian character during her protracted illness none could fail to see; the patience with which she bore her trials and the childlike faith and confidence she had in the Saviour. Her manner in the trying hour of death was alike beautiful and impressive. She did not look upon death as an ordeal but simply as a passage from a world of care to one of happiness and peace. When asked if she could trust her Saviour in the hours of death, she replied "I have placed my trust in the Lord a long time and now I am only waiting." However painful the separation, it is indeed gratifying to have such knowledge of her happier life beyond the grave. To her relatives and many friends we extend our heartfelt sympathy, trusting that when the summons comes to them they may be as well prepared to meet it, and as peacefully "fall asleep in Jesus."

DeArman, charged with the murder of Seaborn J. Crook, was returned Saturday morning last. The prisoner was brought into court and the verdict read. It was guilty for murder in the second degree and penitentiary for twelve years. The prisoner exhibited no emotion that was observable. At the assembing of court in the afternoon, Judge Box pronounced the sentence, but informed the prisoner that his counsel would ask a bill of exceptions for the purpose of taking the case to the Supreme Court and that in the meantime he would be returned to the jail at Gadsden. In answer to a question of the Judge as to whether he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced against him, he replied "nothing". Counsel for the prisoner will submit their bill of exceptions during the term of the St. Clair Circuit court which is some weeks off. Some of the Jurors, after rendering their verdict, told how the jury stood before a verdict was agreed upon. According to their statement, there were three for finding a verdict for murder in the first degree, five in favor of a verdict for murder in the second degree and four for acquittal. DeArman is now about fifty-five years of age. If the Supreme Court sustains the rulings of Judge Box, the sentence against him Saturday will be carried out, in which event he will be sixty-seven years of age when he comes forth from the prison, if he should live so long. If the Supreme Court reverses Judge Box, there will be another trial. HIs life will not again be put in jeopardy. No jury can hereafter in any future trial, find a verdict for murder in the first degree. His crime having been reduced by a verdict of the jury, from murder in the first degree to murder in the second degree, he will be permitted to give bail, if the case is sent back for a new trial, and it may be years before it is tried under the present croweded condition of the dockets. Jail cases have the preference in these matters. ---- LOCAL News Mr. John Green of Waco, Texas who left this county thirty years ago for the Lone Star State, and who has not since visited Alabama until now, is in Jacksonville.

BORDERS from Florida Leesburg, Fla., Dec. 23, 1881 To Hon. L.W. Grant of the Jacksonville Republican Dear Sir, In compliance to a promise to many of my friends that I would give them some notes of my trip to Florida, I thought, perhaps my best plan would be through the columns of the Republican. Two of my sons, Hop and Willie, and a freedman, started with the wagons November 30th through by the way of Wedowee, Columbus, thence to Albany, Georgia, at which point my party, consisting of myself, wife and her sister, E.H. Goodlett and my two youngest children, were to meet them. We left Oxford at 4:30 p.m. on the 7th of December, two hours behind time. All got alone finely until we reached near Patona when it was ascertained that one of the springs of one coach was broken but our efficient conductor soon had another put in its place, and we went into Rome at 7 o'clock p.m. and lay over until 6 a.m. on the 8th; arrived in Atlanta at 12 and left at 2 p.m. for Macon. I have heard people talk about the train being crowded before but never saw anything to equal the train leaving Atlanta that day. The reason was, the great day of the farmers and merchants at the Exposition was only the day before, and they were returning home. Arrived at Macon at 6 a.m., distance 103 miles; left Macon at 8 for Albany, distance 107 miles; arrived at Albany at 7 p.m., about three hours before the boys arrived with the wagons. I forgot to say that the boys fell in company with Mr. F.P. Heifner's company which consisted of himself, wife and babe, Miss Sallie Borders, Miss Rena Clarida, Mr. Virginus Heifner and Mr. Sanford Jordan at Chulafinee. We all took the wagon train the balance of the way. Mr. F.P. Heifner's company left us at Thomasville, Ga., for Tallasahatchee to Mr. N.J. Rosa's where they expected to stop and rest for awhile. We made haste to direct our steps down on the Peninsula where they scarely ever see frost. The distance from Albany to Thomasville, 60 miles. The next point is Madison, Florida, 45 miles; from thence to Newnansville, 100 miles; thence to Oceola, 60 miles; thence to Leesburg, 55 miiles, the place we are at, at this time. The whole distance from home by dirt road to this point is 555 miles. We made the trip in 23 days without accident. All stood the trip remarkably well. Some of the party took a little cold but all have an improved appetite. I have improved considerably. We have not been in a rain but it has sprinkled a time or two. Have not seen a frost. The thermometer stood at 70 yesterday in the shade. This morning it stood at 55. On the 20th we saw the first green cotton leaves and blooms and thence down we saw garden peas set out and field crops. Cotton as in our country, is the leading crop. The long staple is raised nearly exclusively. They say they raise from three to four hundred pounds of seed cotton per acre. The most of them sell it in the seed at from 5 to 7 cents per pound and haul it to market where most of it is ginned. Corn is scarce, but little raised, not more than will run them. Oats do tolerably well but are scarce. I find three grand objections to this country, viz; the water, the sand and sand spurs. Water for stock is so scarce that we traveled two days at one time and our horses feet did not get wet, and we could hardly get water at houses for them or ourselves. The sand, I cannot describe how intolerable it is for people to foot it, or for loaded wagons. The sand spurs grow all over the ground. In places they resemble small Chufa with numerous stickers over them. Grows on the grass from three to eight inches high. It cuts off measurably visiting on foot by ladies. Bad on horses if they eat them and being on the grass they cannot help it. It kills sheep, consequently none are to be seen in the country. I will tell you about the Orange groves in my next letter. Direct the Repulican to Leesburg, Sumpter county, Fla., until further orders. I cannot do without it. Yours, A.J.H. BORDERS ----- STATE OF ALABAMA, Calhoun County Probate Court, Nov. 29, 1881 This day came S.C.

Woodward died at his home in this place after an illness of some weeks, Monday the 13th inst. Mr. Woodward was one of the earliest settlers of Jacksonville and Calhoun county and during his long life in this community he enjoyed the respect and confidence of the entire town and country. In times past, the people have delighted to honor with him offices of trust. In the early settlement of the county he established himself at Jacksonville in the mercantile business and amassed a large fortune which was lost by the reverses of the War. Both in prosperity and adversity he was the same, calm, philosophic, christian gentleman. His sense of honor in the discharge of debt was of so fine character that he cheerfully consented to part with the last remnant of his once fine fortune to satisfy obligations when he stood only in the relation of surety of friends. When in the enjoyment of fortune and as long as his ability lasted, he was one of the main stays in support of his church here. To the day of his death he was an active, zealous, christian worker. Later, as disease gained mastery over him, his once clear intellect was to a degree clouded, but never to that extent that he could not comprehend the dealings of God with him, and he died in full faith of a glorious resurrection. A good man has gone! ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, MARCH 4, 1882 IN MEMORIAM OF EDWARD L. WOODWARD In yonder village cemetery lies the mortal remains of Edward L. Woodward, one of our oldest citizens. In life, he was an honest, upright man; and in death, as in life, a christian, unshaken in the faith of his fathers, ripe for a better world beyond. His death caused the tear, the sob, the bitter pang of anquish to the hearts of family and friends; but his life, for nearly a half century, teaches a lesson not to be forgotton by those among whom he lived so long. Mr. Woodward was born in Stafford Co. Virginia on the 20th day of May 1807 and died in this place, on the 13th of February 1882. He came to Alabama in 1825 and did business with his brother Y.C. Woodward in the town of Blountsville. On the 25th day of Nov. 1832 he married Malinda J. Francis of Tenn., who survives him, and in 1835 settled at Jacksonville where he continued to reside up to the time of his death. Mr. Woodward was a remarkable man. Naturally of delicate constitution, his life was prolonged beyond "the three score and ten" allotted to men, by self- denial and by temperate and methodical habits. >From the early settlement of our county till after the War, he took front rank among the active, intelligent business men of the times. Everything he gave his attention to was characterized by energy, self reliance, deep convictions and devotion to principle. As a merchant, his success was great. He amassed for this county, a large fortune by close application and by administering his affairs upon principles of strict business integrity. He had the confidence of all men who knew him. His "word was his bond" and no one was deceived by it. But active and successful as he was in business, he was none the less so in church and all matters that tended to the public good. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for more than fifty years and as long as health permitted, was found a zealous working member of the congregation. For nearly forty years he was Superintendant of the Sabbath School and the love and veneration in which he was held by the children is a monument to his ministrations. He was the friend of education and not only gave of his means to promote the cause, but gave what many others do not, the moral force of his personal presence to every enterprise intended for the moral and intellectual advancement of the young. As a man, he was even tempered, moderate, conservative, but always firm and true to his convictions. He was full of the courage of virtue. He did right for right's sake, because it was right. As a citizen he was public spirited and prompt in giving voice and hand to all matters intended for the public well. Many of our people remember the time in the history of our county when the books of our "county finance" were in the utmost confusion. The public mind gravitated with one accord to Mr. Woodward as the man of all others to relieve us from threatened financial ruin. Although he was immersed in successful business, he yielded to the solicitations of the public and took hold of the County Treasury. By the same patient toil and systematic devotion applied to his own private affairs, the same fearless discharge of duty which characterized him elsewhere, he soon brought "order out of chaos" and by system and precedent, established a standard and guide for those who have so worthily succeeded him. But how changeful is life! The crest wave of success is ours today, tomorrow we are submerged. The late War came and swept away the fortune of Mr. Woodward, but it did not take his honor! It left him the wealth of a good name. After disease and suffering had done their work, Death came for the good man. Why should we sorrow, for: "What is death, to him who meets is with an upright heart? A quiet haven, where his shattered boat, harbours secure, till the rough storm is past, Perhaps a passage overhung with clouds, But at its entrance, a few leagues beyond Opening to kinder skies and milder suns, And seas passive as the soul that seeks them." ----- OXFORD News Items Mr. Walter Hames, boss of a squad of hands of the Georgia Pac. Railroad, engaged in blasting at the Snow's Creek Gap, one half mile east of town, was seriously, though we are glad to know, not fatally injured by an explosion on Saturday morning last. A negro was also badly hurt. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, MARCH 18, 1882 LOCAL News Mrs. Malinda Woodward, wife of the late E.L. Woodward, died ___ night, rejoicing in the triumphant entry into the glory land and reunion with her companion of a life time, who passed away but a few weeks ago. ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, MARCH 25, 1882 OBITUARY OF MRS. MELINDA J. WOODWARD The saddest duty we have to perform in life is to stand upon the water's edge that separates time from eternity and bid a final farewell to those we love and admire. Yet chronology records our presence here, as the waves of oblivion roll over us, as they have rolled over untold millions in past generations.... Mrs. Melinda J. Woodward, the subject of these thoughts, was born in Ray county, Tenn., on the 15th day of August 1812 and died in this place at the residence of her daughter Mrs. Gen. Wm. H. Forney, on March 12, 1882. She was the daughter of educated and intelligent parents; educated and graduated at the Female College at Knoxville, Tenn. in 1831; married Mr. E.L. Woodward, a Virginian, in 1832 and came to Alabama and located in this place in 1835 where she lived until her death. She made a profession of the christian religion when a young lady and connected herself with the Methodist Episcopal church in which she remained until the organization of the M.E. Church, South in 1844 when she, with her husband, joined this branch of the church, in which she remained a consistent, devout and zealous member until her departure to that "house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Her walk in life for more than half a century was worthy of her faith and profession. But few ladies have I ever known whose character was so beautified and adorned with all the christian graces as hers. Modest and unassuming, yet bold and defiant in the denunciation of immorality and vice, at the same time logical, persuasive and forcible in her efforts to lead others into the path which leads to eternal life. She was a lady of fine conversational powers, of a noble and gentle bearing, affable and pleasing in her manner; cultured in intellect, genial in companionship and strong in her friendships. She did much to mould and lay the foundation of the cultivated and refined society of which Jacksonville has ever been so justly proud. Kindness had written its law deep in her soul. She sought to make others happy. It was her delight to give cheer to the sorrowing and help the needy. Many are the families who knew her but to love her for her many and untiring attentions to the suffering. Many hearts beat in grateful remembrance of her soothing words of love and sympathy and acts of kindness and self denial around the couch of the sick and dying of some loved member of the family circle...She was faithful to her God, true to her husband, affectionate toward her children, and kind to all. Mrs. Woodward was an invalid for more than twelve months. For five months she was confined to her room and mostly to her bed, yet she never murmured or complained, but being sure and steadfast in her faith, she calmly and with much resignation, awaited the summons to cross "over to the other shore." Her husband preceded her only four weeks. The vine was left bleeding. She followed him to the bank of the river, he passed safely over, leaving her waiting for the Master. Truly she could in the laguage of the Psalmist say "but it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together and walked into the House of God in company." She knew of death's near approach and talked of it as if it was but the welcome invitation to leave this "vale of tears and sorrows" to join her redeemer, to join her husband, children and friends on the "other beautiful shore", leaving only four children behind her, three of whom were with her. She asked her youngest and only son to remain by her while she entered the "chilly dark" waters that would separate them but for a short time, when they too, would take passage for the "bourne from whence no traveler ever returns", and urged them to strive to be reunited in one family circle around Jesus, where there would be no more sickness and death, no pain and anguish of the heart, no more separation, and without a seeming regret or struggle, she fell asleep in Jesus. Truly blessed are they who die in the Lord.

He furnished the two younger sons with horses, money and clothing. The property for which payment is asked was his property. He died August 15, 1869. The petitioners were his Executors. He left seven heirs, six of whom have released their interest in this claim to the seventh, John A. D'Arman, who is one of the petitioners and for whose sole benefit the claim is presented. There is much evidence to show that the sympathies of the deceased were constantly with the Union Army, but furnishing his sons when they entered the Confederate Army with horses, money and clothing was giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It was a disloyal act. If this were otherwise, there is no proof whatever to show that John A. D'Arman, the real party of interest, was a loyal adherent to the to the cause of the Government of the United States, and the claim must be rejected.

Tuesday, Judge Woods rendered his decision denying Cohely bail and he was remanded to jail. --- THE DE'ARMAN TRIAL Gadsden News In the habeas corpus trial now going on in the DeArman case before Hon. L. E. Hamlin, Messrs. Solicitor Martin, Col. Bradford, Col. Frank Bowden and Messrs Dunlap & Dortch are conducting the prosecution; Messrs. Geo. W. Parsons of Talladega, Denson and Disque and Whitlock and Son of Gadsden, representing the defense. On Monday at noon, after some haggling among the lawyers in regard to a witness remaining in the courtroom after being put under oath, the case was opened by Col. Bradford for the state, introducing as a witness Henry Reavis, landlord of the hotel at Jacksonville, who was the nearest eye witness of the homicide. Henry Reavis testified that "last August about 7 o'clock int he morning, defendant rode up to the Jacksonville Hotel of which he (Reavis) was proprietor, called out to Crook and asked him if he could blow a horn and if he would not go hunting with him. Crook responded, "No Judge, I can't go with you today". DeArman said "You promised me you would go." Crook still declined. In the hallway of the hotel where Crook was standing, there were three empty Army guns leaning up against the wall. After Crook's second refusal to go, Reavis heard DeArman's gun click and he (witness) then took his hand off of Crook's shoulder where it was resting and stepped one pace away. Crook was standing erect with his hands down by his side. When the gun fired he fell, giving one short gasp. He never spoke after the fall. DeArman's horse threw him; in a few seconds he recovered himself from the fall, returned to where Crook was and remarked to the bystanders, "God'm him, I came here to kill him and I have done it! I said I would kill him and I have done so", and in a few minutes afterwards called on some persons near to catch his horse, mounted him and rapidly left town. Crook wore black pants and a linen duster coat." There is a perfect cloud of witnesses, some 75 or 80 in number and the case will more than probably consume the whole week. The expense to Calhoun county of this part of the trial alone will be several hundred dollars. We were pleased to meet among the witnesses our old friends, Jno. M. Caldwell, Alfred Dean, D.Z. Goodlett, Henry Reavis, Walter Hammond, Berry Beale and John Ramagana of Jacksonville and Messrs. Jake Grreen, John M. Crook and E.G. Lee of Alexandria. D.Z. Goodlett and J.S. Kelley were examined Monday evening and their evidence was substantially the same as Mr. Reavis. On Tuesday morning, Walter Hammond, another eye witness, was put on the stand and gave about the same evidence with the addition that Dr. Francis pulled Crook's hand out of his duster pocket after he fell but that he saw no weapon. He did not hear the conversation between defendant and deceased. Ed G. Lee was also sworn. He was the Bailiff who arrested DeArman. He stated as to the declarations of DeArman after his arrest and also that some of the arresting party spoke of shooting Crook. Next week we will give a condensed statement of entire testimony including that for the defense. ---- LEGAL NOTICE TO CREDITORS Letters of Administration upon the estate of William Clough, deceased, having been granted the undersigned by the Hon.

O.S. Crook, Adm'r. ---- THE DeARMAN TRIAL Gadsden News As we have a large number of readers in Etowah, Calhoun and Cleburne counties, who are greatly interested in this trial, and as a cloud of witnesses were in attendance who desire to be informed as to the testimony and the action of the court, we give a condensed statement of the proceedings and evidence in this, one of the most notorious and interesting murder trials of the country. Seaborn J. Crook, the deceased, was a young man about 26 years of age, related to one of the largest and most respectable families of Calhoun county. He was tall and large weighing about 160 pounds, with strong features, black eyes and hair, with an extensive reputation for courage and at the time of his death was Marshall of the town of Jacksonville. John A. DeArman is a man of ripe age, between 55 and 60 years old, tall and large weighing about 160 or 170, and was at one time, the Republican Probate Judge of Calhoun county. He is also largely and respectably connected in Calhoun and Cleburne counties. On the morning of the 16th of August 1881, the Circurt Court of Calhoun county being then in session, on the porch of the Hotel in Jacksonville, Ala., DeArman killed Crook by shooting him with a shotgun. During the same week the grand jury of that county preferred an indictment against him for murder; he was arrested, arraigned, pleased guilty and a day was set for his trial, but another murder trial having presedence, the case was continued for lack of time to try it until the Spring term of court, and shortly afterwards, DeArman was removed to the jail of Etowah county, the Jacksonville jail being considered unsafe. Recently upon a petition of a writ of habeas corpus to admit him bail, he was brought before Hon. L.E. Hamlin, Probate Judge of this county. On Monday at noon, after some haggling among the lawyers in regard to a witness remaining in the courtroom after being put under the rule, the case was opened by Col. Bradford for the state, introducing as a witness Henry Reavis, landlord of the Hotel at Jacksonville who was the nearest eye witness of the homicide. D.Z. Goodlett and J.S. Kelley were examined Monday evening and their evidence was substantially the same as Mr. Reavis. Goodlett was over at the Court House and did not hear the conversation, but saw the killing. That he made some demonstration toward arresting DeArman but the latter declined to be apprehended. Goodlet said that from where he was standing at the time of the shooting he could see into the hallway of the hotel and that Reavis was standing in the hallway near Crook. Goodlett said when DeArman rode up to the hotel, and in a pleasant way he called to Crook. He saw him move his hand in cocking the gun. Kelley said that after DeArman said something about blowing a horn, Crook advanced toward him and that after the firing, DeArman went back and looked at the dead body. That Crook made no reply to DeArman's remarks until defendeant asked him to go hunting and that he did not see Reavis there at all. On Tuesday morning, Walter Hammond, another eye witness, was put on the stand and gave about the same evidence with the addition that Dr. Francis pulled Crook's hand out of his duster pocket after he fell but that he saw no weapon. Hammond said that he was standing about 25 feet away from the door of the Hotel; that DeArman came from Ramagano's grocery over to the hotel and rode up on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. That Crook had obtained the army guns from his store. They belonged to a miltary company in that town. Witnesses denied shooting at DeArman as he rode out of town; that Crook had been walking with a crutch for some time before but on that morning was using a walking stick for the first time. Ed G. Lee was also sworn. He was the bailiff that arrested DeArman. Lee testified that after the capture of DeArman, that the latter rode back to Jacksonville in a buggy with him and told him while they were riding together that he had done what he had intending to do for a long time. That he did not expect to employ a lawyer, that he did not need one as he intended to plead guilty and expected to be hanged or sent to the penitentiary. L.S. Carpenter saw defendant the morning of the killing, hat off, stirrup broken. Defendent said, "Hell was to play in town that morning. There was a man killed. I have killed Crook as dead as hell this morning." Was sorry that he did it or had it to do. Had heard the Judge say if Crook ever put him in the calaboose again he intended to kill him, about one month before killing. DEFENSE TESTIMONY Robt. J. Coleman: "Was in town the morning of the killing. Saw Crook coming up to the hotel with three guns and a pistol. DeArman rode up to the hotel with a gun, a horn and dog, asked Crook if he could blow a horn. Then DeArman asked Crook if he (Crook) would blow, as one of his dogs was gone. Crook said "No, by god" he could not or should not. Then Crook walked several steps toward DeArman and the gun fired. Crook was standing straight, thinks his hands were in his pockets. Ten or fifteen minutes before the killing, Crook passed witness. Heard him say he had a pistol that would serve his purpose but he would go and get some guns for them other fellows. Witness saw something that looked like a pistol in left pocket of Crook's duster. George Brown: "Was in town when Crook was killed. Did not know Crook. Was eating breakfast when gun fired. Had heard Crook say that he intended to kill DeArman. Threat was made on that morning a few minutes before slaying". D.H. Hall: "Saw Crook once walk from hotel across the square on morning of the killing and half hour before killing saw Crook and DeArman meet before killing. Crook walked out of hotel to edge of porch, one hand on right hip, left hand apparently in breast pocket. Saw something as Crook walked out that glistened in his left hand, did not know what it was. This was just before the killing. Saw Crook raise his right hand just before DeArman shot; then he, the witness turned his back, did not see Crook fall." Wm. Ashley: "Was on court house steps at the time of difficulty. Saw Crook a few minutes before killing walk by court house steps. Saw him pass again with guns. DeArman was in front of Ramagnano's grocery. Saw Crook go to tavern and set guns down in the piazza, close to corner of door facing. Heard conversation between the two in part, Crook, after replying that he could not go hunting, stepping towards DeArman, had his hands down. Nothing in his hands at that time that he saw. Thought he had a pistol in his left hand pocket and his hand was half way in his pocket. At the time he saw the pistol there was as many as fifteen people on the porch. Won't swear that it wasn't a pistol because he didn't see the handle, but it looked like a pistol. Would swear that it looked like the handle of a pistol." J.H. Andrews: " Saw the breach of a pistol as Crook passed witness while he was setting on court house steps. The color of the breach was dark, not a white handle. The breech is the place where you first take hold of a pistol. It was sticking out of his pocket, hip pocket. Crook had a duster. Couldn't say if it was buttoned. Was setting with Wm. Ashley on court house steps. Just before killing, Crook passed by them not over one quarter of an hour, going towards hotel. Had a walking stick in left hand and a pistol in either his coat or hip pocket. When he saw DeArman after the shooting he was in the act of falling off his horse. Could not say whether he was walking or riding. While they were talking about the horn, Crook's right hand was behind him." J.B. DeArman testified that he was a nephew of the defendant. That he saw Crook on the morning of the killing with some guns and a stick in his hands, saw Judge DeArman through a window ride up to the hotel. Reavis was standing by the dining room door holding the door open. " I was in the left hand or office room. I did not see Reavis go by the door to front door. I was in there but a minute when the shooting occurred. Crook's left hand was under his coat or in his pocket after he fell. Ab. Littlejohn and George Brown were offered as witnesses by the defense and they were questioned as to the character of the deceased as a violence and dangerous man. The question was objected to and after a most interesting argument by the lawyers on both sides, the court sustained the state's objection to the question. Witnesses were also offered to prove that previous to the killing, the deceased had threatened the life of the defendant but objection was made and after exhaustive arguments, the court refused to hear evidence upon that point. Wm. Cook: "Was present when Lee arrested defendant. Oscar Crook threatened to shoot defendant's brains out twice, one when witness first got with posse, next going up the hill in Jacksonville. Rode close to the buggy all the way only when the buggy would get ahead on doing down a slant, didn't hear defendant allude to the killing. Was a son-in-law of DeArman. Defendant called on Ned Lee for protection." The court after due deliberations and an examination of the authorities submitted by defendant's counsel, refused to admit John A. DeArman to bail and remanded him to the county jail of Etowah county. ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, OCTOBER 15, 1881 ALABAMA News The body of Wm.

He was fifty-five years and a few months old at the time of his death. For two years previous to his death he had suffered much with cancer on the face, which no skill of the physician could cure and which he became satisfied would prove fatal to him, but his devoted family spared no expense and relaxed not their energies to alleviate if not to cure to the last days of his life. About five months prior to his death he made a bright profession of religion and when his summons came, he, with perfectly clear mind, awaited it with calm resignation. And this must be the consolation of his friends and relatives, that though he suffered much, through suffering he was brought to Christ and died in full hope of a glorious immortality, beside which the sufferings of this present life are not to be compared. ---- Died, Tuesday night at the home of his sister Mrs. Hurst in Cedartown, Ga., Joe A. Alexander of this place. The body was brought to Jacksonville by his sorrowing wife on Wednesday's train and after appropriate ceremonies at the St. Luke's church, were interred in the cemetery here. For more than a year he had suffered with an affliction of the throat or lungs which rapidly grew worse until it terminated in his death. Thinking that a change of climate might benefit him, some weeks ago he left his family here and went to the home of his sister in Cedartown. A short while back the news reached here that he was rapidly growing worse. His faithful wife at once hastened to his side and nursed him until he breathed his last. Both she and a little sister who lived with him and the little children he leaves behind, have the heartfelt sympathy of our entire community. ---- The aged wife of that kind and ever genial old friend of ours, Gen. D.C. Turrentine of Gadsden, is dead. For forty years they had lived as man and wife and all this time their lives were a benefaction to those among whom they dwelt. Gen. Turrentine is a pure, gentle old man whom to know is to love, and the death of his good wife will be mourned as much for him as for she that hath gone on before. Ere long he will join her, for he has almost accomplished the number of his days. When he shall set out on what will not be a pleasing journey to him, since the love of his early youth and the comfort of his latter days has passed on to the beautiful land; men may well say and they will say, "one has gone whose place cannot be filled."

He was killed Tuesday, so far as the circumstances point and was not found until three days had elapsed. Suspicion points to a man named Dick Cohely, who has fled the country and who had said previously that he intended to kill him. Cohely had reportedly had some family trouble, of which it is said, Jones was the instigator. Cohely had sent him word that he intended to kill him, yet, nothwithstanding this, Jones went with him by invitation up the creek to a lonely spot to "talk the matter over." When Jones started from the field, a man who was working with him advised him not to go, saying, "if you don't mind, Dick will kill you." "If he can kill me before I can kill him, let him rip", replied Jones and he went. This was the last seen of him, until his body was found some days afterwards. It is said that Cohely told his brother-in-law whither he and Jones went after they left the field, that he had decoyed Jones to go with him to the coaling, three or four miles distant, intending he said, to kill him in the lonely hollows on the route and there leave the body, but his heart again failed him. "But", said Cohely to his brother-in-law, "damn him, I intend to kill him." Cohely and Jones after this set out to return to the point from whence they had started and had reached a place within a fourth of a mile of that point, when Jones was killed. Cohely was armed with a gun, one barrel of which was a rifle, the other had a shot gun. Two shots were heard and it is supposed that Cohely first shot at Jones with the rifle barrel and failing of his aim, then used the shot gun barrel on him. Cohely has not been heard from since he fled the scene of the murder. The above facts only given as floating rumors and may be disproved by evidence brought out at trial, should one ever be had, and the public are warned not to allow their minds prejudiced against Cohely in their publication. The law presumes every man innocent until he is proven guilt. LATER - - Cohely was arrested in Cleburne county and lodged in jail Tuesday at his place. ---- LOCAL News Last week, Mrs. Jeptha Smith with her sister-in-law and some children got into a buggy, pulled by an old and reliable family horse and drove a short distance to visit a sick lady. Arriving, they unhitched the horse. On return, the ladies themselves harnessed the horse, there being no man on the place and it is supposed, hitched him to the buggy improperly. At any rate, when the horse reached a very steep hill the buggy fell on him causing him to run away, smashed the buggy to pieces and seriously hurt every inmate in the vehicle. By some means the lines got around the neck of Mrs. Smith and when the horse tore loose from the buggy, she was dragged some distance by the neck, and frightfully bruised and torn, having several of her teeth knocked out. The other lady was knocked senseless and hurt badly. We are glad to be able to report at this writing that no death occurred from the frightful accident and that both ladies and children are now doing well. --- STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Mr. Otis Mattison of Oxford was killed a few days ago by lightning.

Shortly after the house was struck and Mr. Otis Mattison was killed as related above. Mr. George Mattison and his son were also stunned but not seriously injured. --- FOR SALE The undersigned as agents of the heirs of the estate of C.J.

Cochran ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, AUGUST 20, 1881 THE KILLING OF S.J. CROOK, TOWN MARSHALL OF JACKSONVILLE Tuesday morning, the 16th inst., about 7 o'clock, our town was startled by a loud report of a gun on the public square and a few moments afterwards the news ran from lip to lip that Seab Crook had been killed by Jno. A DeArman. The day previous was the first day of criminal week of Court here and large numbers of men were in town, and much whiskey was drank. The Marshall made many arrests and incarcerated several in the Calaboose, among them DeArman which is supposed to be the incentive to the desperate deed afterwards committed by him. At night all incarcerated parties were released and allowed to go home, among them DeArman. Early Tuesday morning DeArman rode into town with a gun and dogs and announced that he was going on a hunt. He rode to a bar room and without dismounting, ordered a glass of whiskey which was handed him by some one. Crook was on the public square at the time and was watched by DeArman until he stopped at the hotel and sat down on the porch. Probably in anticipation of a renewal of the difficulties of the evening previous, Crook had procured three breech loading rifles belonging to the Military Company here and had placed them near him, with the remark "these never fail." Soon after, DeArman rode up in front of the hotel and addressing Crook, said "Seab can you blow a horn; at the same time holding up a hunting horn." To this Crook made no reply, it is said. DeArman again addressing him then said , "Seab, won't you go hunting with me today? You told me yesterday you would go." At this, Crook rose and leaving his guns, took two or three steps toward DeArman, directly facing him and not five feet from him, replied "I can't go today, Judge." At this, and without any warning, DeArman cocked his gun and before Crook could realize his intention, without raising the gun to his shoulder, discharged the load directly in his breast, the ball passing through or in the near region of the heart. Without a word and with a gasp, Crook fell back on the porch of the hotel, feet hanging over, a dead man. At the report of a gun, DeArman's horse wheeled and threw him heavily to the ground. He arose, and taking up his gun, advanced to the body and looking down upon it, he said, " I have done what I came to do." He then turned and walked deliberately away to undertake his horse, which had trotted off in the direction of his home. These facts we get from an eye witness to the whole affair and who was within two feet of Crook when he was shot. After DeArman had proceeded a few steps in the direction of his horse he encountered the Sheriff who was crossing the square diagonally and who was unarmed. He warned him not to attempt his arrest, at the peril of his life. While the Sheriff was still advancing toward him, several young men procured rifles belonging to the Military Company and shot guns and took up the pursuit. Meanwhile DeArman reached his horse and mounting him, fled down the hill leading north from the town. As he went over the hill and subsequantly some six or seven shots were discharged at him, but without effect. A large posse pursued in the direction of DeArman's house and proceeded to search for him. While a couple of the party were passing through a corn field adjacent to the house, they came upon DeArman lying prone on the ground near a bush with his face to the earth, apparently asleep. They at once covered him with their guns and ordered his surrender. He submitted without resistance. By him was found his gun with one barrel discharged. He was brought to town within two hours after the commission of the deed and is confined in a room of the Court house at this writing, awaiting the action of the Grand Jury now in session. For the benefit of people at a distance and who are unaquainted with the parties, we will state that DeArman is a farmer who has lived in this county for a great number of years, part of the time in Jacksonville and who at present resides two miles north of Jacksonville at Germania. He is a Republican in politics and in times past has been a local politician of some note. He is about fifty years of age and has a wife and children, some of them grown. Crook was a son of W.P. Crook, once Clerk of the Circuit Court of this county and cousin of Capt. James Crook, one of the State Railroad Commissioners. He was quite a young man of unbounded liberality and generosity of character, and brave to a fault. He had been Marshall of the town for some years and was very efficient, the only objection ever urged against him was his rashness. He had many warm friends and of course some enemies, as any man would have occupying his official position. But the grave intervenes to bury the resentments of the latter, while his virtues and generous qualities will long remain green in the remembrances of the former. The event is greatly deplored in this community and the families of both the slayer and slain are to be greatly pitied. LATER - - The evening of the day of the commission of the offense, the Grand Jury found an indictment against DeArman for murder. He wa brought into open Court from jail and plead "not guilty". Friday was set as the day for the trial and the Sheriff was ordered to get a jury of one hundred men for that day. DeArman is now in jail. All the wild reports flying about concerning contemplated lynching are without foundation. This community will let the law take its course and deprecate anything like violence. A very large number of people gathered at his father's residence to attend the funeral services of S.J. Crook and all day long throngs of people were going to the house to view the remains and tender such sympathy as they could. In the evening the body was taken to Alexandria for interment Wednesday morning in the family burial ground. ------ Died, Sunday morning about six o'clock, J.B. Forney, a well known citizen of this town and county, and brother of Hon. Wm. H. Forney, Member of Congress for this district. Mr. Forney had been in bad health for two or three years and gradually failed, until his life went our peacefully last Sabbath morning. He was a member of the Episcopal church of this place and the funeral services were conducted in the church. A large concourse of friends and relatives followed the remains to the grave. Perhaps no man has ever lived in Calhoun county who had fewer enemies than Mr. Forney. Kind of heart, courteous of manner, never speaking ill of any one, he pursued the even tenor of is way, leaving no resentments behind and accumulating friends as he went. We have known him since infancy and with truth can say we never heard an ill word spoken of him. What volumes does this speak! Firm in a saving faith, he has exchanged a life burdened with infirmities and suffering in his latter years for a future brighter than pen can paint or imagination conceive. He is far better off, but still regret lingers that the gentle, quiet, genial friend of other days has gone to be seen no more forever here. ---- We learn that a daughter of Mr. Elisha McClelen died very suddenly and unexpectedly at the home of her father last Saturday. She had been sick for a week but was not considered dangerous, and had been sitting up an hour or two before her death. Her father was in Jacksonville when the sad event occurred, and, at last accounts, the mother was so prostrated by the shock that she was thought in a dangerous condition. Mr. McClelen had not long been up himself from an almost fatal sickness and the day in question was his first visit to Jacksonville. How sad the summons that bid him home! Both the aged father and stricken mother have the deepest sympathy of all who know them. ---- Died, Sunday the 14th inst., Mr. George McCluskey of this place. He had been sick a great while with Consumption but had not long been confined to his bed previous to his death. He was an industrious man, a kind husband and father and a good citizen and leaves to his children, if no other legacy, that of a good name, which is better than riches. He was buried Monday evening; a large concourse of friends and relatives followed the remains to the grave. ---- STATE OF ALABAMA, Calhoun County Probate Court, Special Term, August 7, 1881 This day came Scott Nabors, and filed in court his petition in writing and under oath, praying for an order of the court appointing Commissioners to sell the real estate in said section described and owned jointly by petitioner and Slade Nabors, deceased, for the purpose of division among those interested.

A. Woods, Judge of Probate ---- A CORRECTION Mr. Editor, In justice both to myself and the dead, I deem it my duty to make a statement in regard to the reported mistreatment of John A. DeArman by S.J. Crook, on the occasion of the arrest and incarceration of DrArman on the day prior to the killing of Crook. It is currently reported that Crook kicked DeArman as he put him in the calaboose that day. I was employed on that day not as an arresting officer but as a guard at the door of the calaboose and was present when Crook brought DeArman to prison. When DeArman reached the door he placed his hands against the door and remarked that he did not want to go in. Crook replied that he must and placing his hands upon his shoulders and his knee in his back he forced him through the door and closed it. Crook used only such force as was necessary to do this, which force was not violent or unnecessarily harsh. Crook did not enter the prison after DeArman went in. This much I state, not for the purpose of making opinion, but as a simple act of justice to one who is dead and cannot speak for himself, as well as to myself, who was employed as guard at the door of the prison, and whose duty it would have been to have interfered in case of rough treatment of prisoners by arresting officers.

In a room of the building an immense wheel revolves with frightful rapidity. It is provided with iron arms which connect the center with the rim and in its revolution, cuts through a slot in the floor. It is supposed that Mr. Richardson approached the wheel too closely in attempting to peer down through this cut in the floor, and, that while thus stooping foward, was struck on the head by one of the arms of the wheel. His skull was crushed frightfully and scattered in every direction. His death must have been as sudden as if he had been struck by a cannon ball. No one was present at the time, else the poor gentleman would have been warned of the danger in time perhaps to have saved his life. Of course no blame can attach to any of the employees of the factory. --- ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE Under and by virtue of an order of the Probate Court of Calhoun county, Ala., made on the 28th day of March 1881, I will, as administratrix of the estate of L.H.

That their future may be as bright and happy as themselves would wish it, and a perennial prosperity follow them to the blossoming springtime of their lives, is the earnest greeting that the Herald would convey to these young hearts. The Dallas, Texas Herald --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, April 9, 1881 LOCAL News It is with profound regret that we learn of the death of Charlie, the son of Charles Martin, Esq., of this county, aged 14 years, who accidentally shot himself some two weeks ago while he was handling a shot gun, when the gun slipped off a sill and exploded, the charge going into his side and shoulder. The unfortunate youth lived only about an hour. He was a fine youth and very popular and his death has cast a gloom over the community where he lived. --- Mr. C.R. Lester, one of the oldest citizens of Jacksonville, died at his home in this place of pneumonia, Monday night the 4th inst. He had been long afflicted with an affliction of the lungs which rendered him an easy victim to the disease which last attacked him. He was a good man and leaves behind him a wife and children to mourn his loss. --- We learned this week that Mr. E. McClelan of Alexandria valley, one of the oldest citizens of Calhoun county, has been quite sick, rumor going so far as to report him dead at one time. We refer to this now to correct the rumor, if it has spread over the county. He is alive and we hope has many long years of usefulness before him yet. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, April 16, 1881 SHOOTING AFFAIR We learn that two men from Cleburne county were shot at Centre, some five miles from Oxford in this county a few nights ago, under rather mysterious circumstances. It is said that a party from Cleburne had been in Oxford trading and got as far back toward home as Centre about night. There they met parties who live in Calhoun. The entire crowd is said to have been somewhat under the influence of liquor. As the Cleburne party was leaving a store where they had been talking with some parties, to go to the house of a gentleman who lived in Centre for the purpose of staying all night, and an unknown person called out, "Watch out, I am going to shoot." Immediately two shots were fired, both of which took affect on two gentleman of the party. Upon reaching the house medical aid was at once summoned. The latest report states that one of the wounded gentleman has died. The strangest part of the affair is that there does not seem to have been any quarrel at the store or elsewhere. A young man who parted from the party as they left the store was suspected, but he appeared at the house where the wounded gentleman lay shortly after the occurrence and expressed much concern at their condition and insisted upon sending for a physician. Another report says that this young man has since left the country. The affair up to this writing is shrouded in mystery. We hope to get to the truth of the matter before another issue of this paper. --- OBITUARY OF R.C. LESTER Died in Jacksonville of pneumonia, after a short confinement to his bed, April 4, 1881, R.C. Lester, in the 65th year of his age. Deceased was born in Greenville, S.C. on May 8, 1816 and emigrated to Alabama and settled in Jacksonville in his early manhood. He was among the early settlers of this place and made his residence here continuously until the day of his death. He was twice married and blessed with children by both unions, some of the elder of whom were in distant states when he breathed his last. He was a member of the M.E. church for over thirty years. For years previous to his death he was afflicted with an affliction of the lungs that rendered labor more than usual arduous to him, yet almost to the day of his death he was a hard working man, anxious to provide well for those whom God had committed to his care. Rather negative than positive in character, he was not a man of striking peculiarities but if the whole history of his life could be written out, it would form a chapter of patience under trial, fortitude under suffering, fidelity to the responsibilities of life and contentment under all circumstances that has been rarely equalled. During a long life he enjoyed the respect and confidence of his fellow men. But a few days prior to his death, he was a member of the Grand Jury which responsible position attests the confidence with which he was regarded. Peace to his ashes. --- TRIBUTE OF RESPECT ON THE DEATH OF Sister S.K. SCOTT Whereas, by the allwise and inscrutable Providence of God, our "Circle of Unity" has been broken and our worthy and well beloved sister, S.K. Scott has been taken from her labors in the lodge below and transplanted in heaven, a white flower to boom in the Savior's breast. Therefore, be it resolved by Davisville Lodge No. 63, I.O.G.T., that in the death of Sister Scott, this Lodge has lost one of its most zealous and efficient members, a member who was beautiful in life, sweet and smooth in spirit, and as pure in mind and heart as the unstained snow; one who was ever kind and loving to all and by all loved. Resolved 2nd; that tho our hearts are saddened and a cloud of sorrow has gathered over us, yet with an eye of faith, we see its silver lining and the hope of the resurrection and immortalily flashes like sheet lightning behind an intervening cloud. Resolved 3rd; that we tender the sorrow stricken mother and weeping children our heart felt sympathy and pray God that the richest blessings of heavenly grace may attend them and save them with her daughter and their mother in the "sweet field of Eden." Resolved 4th; that a copy of this preamble and resolutions be tendered the family of the deceased and that they be copied in our minutes and a copy furnished the Jacksonville Republican with a request that the same be published.

Mynatt who died at the residence of his son in this county, last Sunday. He was a much respected minister of the Baptist church and was one of the old citizens of Calhoun.

No one knew the precarious condition of his health and the announcement of his sudden death produced a shock to all who knew and esteemed him. --- MAN SHOT We learn from parties that came down on the train Wednesday that Wm. Neighbors was shot and dangerously wounded the evening before in Cross Plains, by Al Woolf. Woolf used a carbine and the ball penetrated the groin and came out at the back. At last reports Neighbors was not expected to live. Reports say that Neighbors was drinking, was armed and in a dangerous mood and that the shooting by Woolf was in self defense. We have not learned enough of the particulars to report to accuracy a statement of the facts. We tell the tale as it is told to us. There will be a judicial investigation. --- AN OLD CITIZEN DEAD We received this week the painful intelligence of the death of Elijah Kerr, an old and honored citizen of this county, at his home in White Plains. He breathed his last Saturday the 16th inst., after an illness of some months. He was one of the early settlers of the county and was universally beloved and respected. --- The following was received to late last week for publication: Anniston, Ala., April 13, 1881 Mr. L.W. Grant, I write you in regard to a difficulty that ocurred on my place ont he night of the 12th inst., between Joe Foster and Charley Walker, colored. The parties had rented a house from me and were chopping wood for me. Walker was to furnish half the rations and Foster's wife was to do the washing and cooking. I had taken up their wood and paid them off Saturday. It appears that Walker had insulted Foster's wife in his absence and hence Foster demanded a settlement on the night of the difficulty, at the same time notifying Walker that he must get quarters some place else; wherepon Walker commenced cursing Foster and claimed that he was equally bound for the rent and would not leave unless he was cleared of the obligation, to which Foster agreed and they started at once to my house for that purpose. After they had got into the yard and door fastened, Walker demanded half of the meat and meal to which Foster agreed, turning and opening the door. Walker had picked up his double bit axe when he started and just as Foster had placed one foot in the door, he rushed upon him with the axe, the wife screaming at the same time, but not in time to save her husband. Walker struck twice and inflicted two ghastly wounds on Foster, one taking off the side of his face and passing down into the hollow of his neck, the other striking above the collar bone and almost severing the shoulder from the body. Walker then threw the axe down and fled. I was alarmed by the incessant screams of the wife and ran to the scene of the tragedy. I met them coming into my house, the wife leading the husband, but soon after I reached them, he fell from loss of blood. We carried him to a house near by and partly succeeded in stopping the flow of blood. I sent for Dr. LeGrand of Weaver's Station who came promptly and by his prompt and very skillful operation the unfortunate man is still living at this writing, the 14th, but Dr. LeGrand thinks his recovery is doubtful, as the last blow cut one of the main arteries of the neck and so exposed the injured tissue of the jugular vein, that it may break and the man may die from hemmorage. I wish you to give the above a place in your paper, and at the same time insist on the citizens and officers to asssit me in the apprehension of Walker, as the injured party is not able to pay any reward. Description: Charlies Walker is about five feet, eight inches high, very black, small scars on forehead, weighs about 150 pounds, and has a heavy mustache extending back on his face. He reads and writes well, says he is from Kentucky and that he has killed three other men, two negroes and one white man. Very resp'y, G.B.

TOWNS Sister Martha B. Towns, wife of Bro. J.N. Towns, was born in the year 1832 in Calhoun county, Alabama, lived and died in one mile of the place where she was born. She was married to Bro. J.N. Towns on February 14, 1853; professed religion and joined the M.E. Church South in the year 1854. Departed this life on the 3rd day of April 1881. Sister Towns was truly the Salt of the Earth, an ornament to society, a bright and shining light in the church of God, a devoted wife, kind and loving mother. Her last illness was of short duration. Her death was sudden, but she assured the writer, just as she was leaving the world, that all was well with her. A father and mother, six brothers and sisters and seven of her own dear little children have already preceded her to the glory land. By her death, a vaccuum is left in the church that is hard to fill. She is missed in the community where she lived. She was possessed with that noble christian character to visit the sick and afflicted. Many will rise up in the morning of eternity and call her blessed. May God bless the brothers and sisters, husband and her two dear children. May we all bow reverantly to this dispensation of God's providence and resolve to meet her in Heaven. W.M.

For several years past he has been a cripple, almost continuously confined to his room. To one of his active mind, this was a burden to him, but at last rest has come to the weary. --- Last week, Col. Washington Williams, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Calhoun, called in to pay up his subscription and a long time in advance. While talking he remarked that he had been a constant subscriber since the first issue of the Republican. That means since January 1837, we remarked. "Yes", he said "and if you had the papers of that year you would see when I carried on quite a spirited political controversy extending over some eight weeks with John Cochran, who was then a young lawyer here and others, while I was a candidate for the Legislature." We got the file book of 1837 and produced the articles and he listed with much interest as we read and carried him over again the field of his early struggle in the political arena and on which he acquitted himself with great spirit and credit. As we would read a paragraph in which he had got in a pretty health and telling lick on his opponent, his eye would kindle and sparkle and we would see the spirit of of battle was strong on him again. Forty-four years ago and more! Few have the privilege of going back that far and reading over again their utterances of that distant time! --- OXFORD News Items Mr. Johnnie King has gone to Charleston, S.C. --- Mr. Davis Graham has gone to Texas. --- Jim Callahan is going to open a beer and billiard saloon in the basement of the Oxford House soon. --- Mr. James F. Richey and Miss Lula O. Kirksey were married on the 10th inst. by Rev. W.R. Kirk. --- ALABAMA News At Blue Eye on last Thursday, Mr. Hall, a white man, was shot and instantly killed by a negro named Phil Story. Particulars for which I do not vouch: The parties had swapped horses. In the trade, Hall owed Story fifty dollars. Mounting the horse just swapped for, Halls started for the money. A half mile a little boy, Story's son, overtook him. The boy was sent by his father to see if Hall was acting in good faith. Hall, on discovering that the little negro was following him, shot him in the right breast. Soon after, Story attacked Hall, shooting him in the side with a shot gun. Hall lived only a few minutes. Both the negroes are in jail at Talladega. ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, May 28, 1881 LOCAL News Died, Monday night the 23rd inst., after a long illness, Mrs. Martha Key. Martha, as she was affectionatelly called, was greatly beloved, and her death is sincerely mourned by a large group of relatives and friends in this community. She was a consistent member of the Episcopal church and died with faith of a happy future. Her children and relatives have the tenderest sympathy of the community. --- Married, on the 22nd inst. by A. Woods, Mr. Marion Moreland and Miss Elizabeth McCurry. --- OXFORD News Items Mr. and Mrs. John T. Moye are visiting Mrs. M's parents at Dadeville. --- OBITUARY OF JAMES C. HANNAH James C. Hannah, son of R.C. Hannah, was born in Calhoun county, Ala., September the 6th in the year 1860 and died May the 16th, 1881. James possessed those worthy traits of character, obedience and reverence. He gave heed to the warning of his parents and paid due reverence to his studies in school. He was a youth of a strong and investigating mind and of quick comprehension. His prospects to be one of the first among the useful and eminent men of our county were flattering. He was a blessing to the community in which he lived and they mourn his loss. He imparted life and pleasure to the social circle and was cheerful and pleasant under all circumstances. He was a model of true manliness and worth, an honor to the mother that gave him birth and a credit to the father that reared him up. James had never been sick of any consequence until in the wisdom of an unerring Providence, whose ways are above human comprehension, he was summoned to the bed of affliction, where he was confined about three weeks. While the disease fed upon his vitals and his body was racked with pain, he endured it with that composure and fortitude which has always characterized men of true nobility and character. On Monday evening, May 16th, at half past five o'clock, he passed time time to eternity. In the very hour and article of death, although his tongue was silent and refused him utterance, yet he met death with that calmness and composure that bespeaks a christian passing from a state of trial and care, disappoint and bereavement, to one of peace and of joy that passeth not away. "From the turmoils of earth he was taken away, In the tide of youth ere he reached manhood's days And a vacancy is left at his father's home, Which can be filled but by him that sleeps in the tomb. That vacancy extends far beyond only kindred dear, Neighbors and acquaintances shed the mourner's tear." --- IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH D. WHINERY In memory of our deceased brother, Joseph D. Whinery, who departed this life September 30, 1880, aged 48 years and one day. He was born in Benton county, Arkansas on September 29, 1832. He professed a hope in Christ and joined the church in the year 1853 at the age of 21 years and ever lived a devoted christian. He joined the Baptist church at Camp Creek, Cleburne county, Ala., on Sept. 3, 1861 and remained in that church until his death. He discharged the duties of a member with punctuality and fidelity to the close of his life. An affectionate husband, a tender father, a kind friend, an exemplary christian, he was a man who delighted to read the scriptures of divine truth and meditate thereon; and before his departure he often requested his family to grieve not for him. He suffered a great deal during his affliction and talked about his soul's salvation and his eternal happiness beyond the grave. He bore his afflictions with christian fortitude. At his own request, his funeral was preached by Rev. J.C. Morris on the 24th day of October 1880 at Camp Creek church where his remains now lie, from the 4th chapter of Hebrews, 9th verse, " There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." A sinner saved by grace. ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, JUNE 11, 1881 LOCAL News Jim Murray, a son of "Uncle" Henry Murray, and a gallant soldier of the 10th Alabama Regiment, died at St. Clair county recently of an old wound received during the war. He was a brave man as ever trod the soil of Virginia and a man of noble principles. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, JUNE 18, 1881 LOCAL News Mrs. Parham and Miss Mamie Lowe of Chattanooga are visiting Mrs. W.A.

J.A. Towers, an uncle of our Col. J.R. Towers. Immediately after the marriage he and his fair young bride returned to Bartow and settled down with the fairest and happiest promise of long and joyous lives together. Alas! for human hopes and human calculations. On Monday, we learn, they got into a canoe and were going to cross the pond at Rogers' Mill to visit a family living on the other side. When well out into the pond where the water is very deep, the wife by some unforseen accident fell into the water and at once sank. Her husband, terror stricken, leaped into the water and upon his wife's appearing, caught her and struggled as only a fond and loving husband would under the circumstances and endeavored to regain the boat. The terror of the moment and the fact of the clothing so impeding and obstructing his efforts made his manly struggle of no avail. Having done all he could to save her, and in vain, and having so far exhausted himself as to be unable to do more, the two thus young in love and life, lately married, found death together, tightly clasped in each other's arms. Sad, inexpressibly sad, but better for both thus to have gone down together, than for one to have survived and always weep over that sight and that memory. The Rome Daily Bulletin ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, JUNE 25, 1881 LOCAL News We are greatly pained to learn of the death of "Uncle" Henry Murray, which occurred some days ago at the residence of Mr. Dave Jennings, a relative. He was perhaps one of the oldest citiznes of the county at the time of his death. Our earliest recolledtion of Circuit Court carried with it the name of uncle Henry, who was bailiff for twenty or thirty years, until old age disqualified him for the duties of a place he filled with signal ability. He furnished several brave sons to the Confederate cause, one of whom fell bravely bearing colors of his regiment in one of the battles before Richmond, the other of whom died but a few days before the death of his father, of a wound received in the Army. Uncle Henry was of the same Spartan type of the sons of his loins; was an honest man in the full acceptation of the term; and his death will prove a loss to his country. --- Bob Riley is good and mad at that old Bull that gored his mule and tried to take his scalp. Seriously, that animal is very dangerous and will likely kill some child on the streets or along the highways if he is not supressed. The day after he attacked Riley, he ran George Smith into the house. It is said George "dusted" in a highly edifying manner. If the owner does not take him up, it is the intention of the town council to pass an ordinance declaring him a nuisance and ordering him shot. That will likely be his end if some man does not shoot him meantime. --- Will J. Casey, a good citizen of this county, died near Oxford the night of the 20th inst. of congestion of the bowels. He was sick only a few hours. He leaves a wife and three children, the youngest of whom is only three weeks old. --- SHOOTING AT BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Birmingham, Ala., June 20th A difficulty occurred in this city on Saturday night which resulted in the shooting of Mr. Frank Chambers of Mobile with a pistol in the hands of Mr. W.A. Gamble, son of Dr. G.M. Gamble of Lafayette. Both are young men and have families. Young Gamble has not been arrested and has fled to parts unknown. --- File at: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/al/calhoun/newspapers/newspape1113gnw.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 30.5 Kb

This 7th day of January 1881. Wm. M. Hames, Register. --- DEATH OF AN ALABAMA VETERAN Decatur, Ala., Jan. 3rd The venerable Captain John T. Rather died at the rsidence of his son, Gen. John D. Rather in Tuscumbia at 8 o'clock this morning. Had he lived until next March, he would have been ninety years old. His remains will be interred tomorrow at Somerville, Morgan county, where, in the vigor of young manhood, he was first married to Miss McClelland, sister of Gen. W.B. McClelland of Talladega and subsequently to Miss Roberts, and where the dust of both of these deceased companions rest. Between their graves a space was left for his burial. In life they were united and in death they are not divided. For more than a half century, Capt. Rather was an exemplary member of the M.E. Church, South, and died in the communion and confidence of the same. Though residing in Colbert county at the time of his death, we feel that his good name and unsullied character properly belongs to Morgan. At Sommerville he settled more than sixty years ago, and with his own hands built the first rude cabin that was erected in that place. He belonged to and is part of the early history of this county. >From 1820 to 1834 he represented in the lower House of the General Assembly and in 1835 was elected to the Senate. Here, where he lived so long and was so well known, he was universally esteemed and today his praise is upon the lips of all. His advanced age had brought the usual bodily infirmities, but in spirit he never got old. He was affable, cheerful and highly sociable in his intercourse with all classes. Gen. John D. Rather, President of the Alabama Senate, was his only child. --- NOTICE TO CREDITORS Probate Court of Calhoun County, Ala.

He was carried to the Insane Hospital this week. --- IN MEMORIAM OF SAMUEL K. BORDERS Died in Oxford, Ala., Dec. 26, 1881, after a somewhat protracted illness, Samuel K. Borders, aged 58 years, eleven months and fourteen days. He was born in Jackson county, Georgia, January 12, 1822 and during his early youth attended school at Pennfield, from which he went to enter the University of Ga., at Athens where he graduated with honors Aug. 1, 1843 at the early age of 21. While attending college he professed conversion and joined the Baptist church, of which he continued a faithful and devoted member to the hour of his death. After leaving college, his father having moved to Alabama, he read medicine in Jacksonville, Ala. with a view when he should have mastered the profession of moving to Mississippi to practice, but his father being opposed to his leaving him, gave him a farm adjoining his own and insisted upon his occupying it. On March 19, 1851 he was united in marriage to Miss S.M. Williams of South Carolina, who, with seven children, six daughters and a son, survives him. And thus we have been called upon to chronicle the departure for that long "bourne whence no traveler returns" of another of our purest and best citizens. No stain rested upon the bright and shining escutcheon of his career. Though quiet and unobtrusive, his life shone resplendant with the celestial virtues of profound piety, true filial devotion and broad philanthropy. The golden rule of inspiration was the unerring square by which he shaped all his actions. He died as he lived with the blessed Shekinah of faith streaming upon him and illuminating with its electric effulgence the dark vale of shadows. When the hour of final dissolution was drawing near and the gray haired minister bent over him to catch a last expression as to his prospects for a happy immortality, with the calm fight of heavenly assurance lighting up his pallied countenence he whispered "all is well." "He knew that soon his eyes must close, In death's long, pulseless spell, yet calm in faith's serene repose He whispered "all is well." Tho' filled with pain and sore distressed, no murmur from him fell, He realized that God knows best, and felt that all was well. O precious gift of heavenly power, its raptures can tell, To know in death's dark lonely hour, that all with us is well. On Sabbath morn, sweet day of rest, His spirit soared to swell, that white washed throng redeemed and blest, In Heaven, where all is well. " How fitting he should take his leave at sweet Christmas tide, while the resurrection bells were ringing. Though sad, doubly sad to the weeping ones around the peaceful, happy hearthstone, where so long his precious presence had diffused a holy and benign influence; his absence lends one more harp to the grand orchestra of the skies, and another white robed minstrel when the loved ones left behind shall cross the swelling flood to sing the glad chorus of " welcome home."

Her remains were brought back to Jacksonville on the 17th and on the morning of the 18th, in the presence of a large concourse of weeping friends and relatives, all that was mortal of the lovely flower, was committed to the tomb, there to wait the summons that shall awake the dead and bid her arise. Her grief stricken parents have our sincerest sympathy and we would say to them, sorrow not as those without hope, for "there is hope of a tree that will be cut down, it will sprout again and the tender branches thereof will not die." Though she has been cut down in this golden day, yet may we not say that the light she shed on her pathway "will shine more and more til the coming of the perfect day." >From "The Selma Times" newspaper - - - Died on the night of the 16th of January 1881, in this city, after an illness of several weeks, Miss Nora C. Wyly, the accomplished daughter of John M. and Amelia C. Wyly. She was born at Jacksonville, Ala., on July 23, 1864. She was a young lady who made friends wherever she was known, being of a lovely disposition and whose every act during her life was that of a meek and humble christian. She was a communicant of the Episcopal church and one of the most devoted of its members. She breathed her last in the hope of a blessed rest with the great Savior of mankind. We extend to the bereaved parents not only our most heartfelt sympathies, but assure them that they have the sympathies of our entire community, in whose hearts there is a sad void, occasioned by the loss of their darling daughter.

Mr. Graham is well known to our people and universally popular. He has captured one of the most beautiful and fascinating of Jacksonville's fair daughters and this forms but another tie to bind him closer to our people. We hope that he may some day find it profitable and pleasant to make Jacksonville his home. --- Married, January 25, 1881 at the residence of Hon. Alex Woods by Hon. Alex Woods, the Rev. Benj. D. Turner to Mrs. Jno. Mead, formerly Miss Mary S. Clay, daughter of the late Edmund Clay.

Warnock. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, MARCH 5, 1881 ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN GONE Died on the night of the 26th ult., Mrs. Sarah Forney, in the 81st year of her age. Mrs. Forney was the mother of our honored Representative from this congressional district, Mr. Wm. H. Forney. She had been conscious of her approaching dissolution for some time and looked forward with the christian's exultation until the summons of the departure should come. She, with her family, settled in Jacksonville in the fall of 1835. But few remain who were here at that time. Like autumn leaves, one by one, "they have fallen to enrich mother earth." The surviving relatives have our deepest sympathy in this sad hour to them. --- OBITUARY Entered into rest on the evening of the 26th of Feb. 1881, Mrs. Sarah Forney, widow of Jacob Forney, whom she married at Lincolnton, N.C., the place of her nativity. She was the oldest child of Daniel and Barbara Hoke and was born Sept. 17, 1800 where in the course of life and its sad vicissitudes she has wept, over the grave of a kind husband; the loss in battle of a brave boy and the lingering decay of her eldest child. But in every event of life whether grave or gay, and God had also blessed her in many things, hers was the same "meek and quiet spirit." Her very presence by the sick in hours of anguish, brought twith it a halo of restfulness and repose. An unpresuming faith in Christ, a sweet childlike humility, upon these graces was her life constructed. And now that she is gone, purified by much late bodily suffering, in the ripeness of her years and in the beauty and sanctity of her good example, leaving for all, children, children's children, kinsmen and friends, the memory of a useful, godly life, a sweet humility and lovely womanhood. "Here is no place for tears, nothing to wail or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt, dispraise or blame; nothing but well and fair, And what may quiet us in a death so peaceful." ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, March 12, 1881 LOCAL News A new post office named Bera, with E.J. Haynie as postmaster, has been established in Beat 4 near the residence of H.W. Kennedy. --- The cotton factory at Anniston is in full blast and turning out an excellent article of thread and cloth. --- Oxford and Calhoun county lost an excellent citizen last week in the death of Dr. S.C. Williams. He died suddenly and the intelligence as it spread, both shocked and pained his large circle of acquaintances. Dr. Williams was one among the old citizens of Calhoun. He had an extensive practice and was highly respected. He was that character of a man whose death is as much a public calamity as a private affliction. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, March 19, 1881 HOMICIDE About ten o'clock Saturday night last, J.W. Spratlin was shot and killed near Cross Plains in this county by James Neighbors. Spratlin was shot through the head and died after living fifteen hours. The difficulty occurred at a disreputable house and whiskey appears to have been the cause of it. Both Neighbors and a young man who was with him fled the country, we understand. All parties connected with the affair are said to have been under the influence of whiskey. The evidence before the coroner's jury went to show that young Neighbors was stricken by Spratlin before he shot him. --- STATE OF ALABAMA, Calhoun County Probate Court, Special Term, Feb. 28, 1881 This day came C.C.

He bore his sufferings with great fortitude and prior to his death professed religion and died in the christian faith. --- TRIBUTE OF RESPECT IN THE DEATH OF STEPHEN C. WILLIAMS Whereas, God, in his wisdom has seen fit to remove from our midst to his eternal home, on the morning of the 3rd int., our brother and Master of the Lodge, Dr. Stephen C. Williams. Whereby, another link in our mystic chain has been broken; another home made desolate; a devoted wife and affectionate childrens hearts stricken with the deepest sorrow; and this community deeply deplores the loss of a valuable citizen.

Resolved 2nd; that in the death of our brother, Hartwell Lodge has lost a faithful and honored presiding officer, the community a worthy citizen, his family a a kind husband and affectionate father.

We congratulate our young friend and hope that his married life may be one of happiness and joy and though unaquainted with his fair bride, we assure her that the choice was made from one of Calhoun's noblest boys. --- On last Friday night at most dreadful murder was committed out at Green Weaver's residence, a negro renter on the Forney place, two miles from town. The circumstances were these: Green gave a ball and the negroes from many miles around gathered to have a real country frolic. During the evening as they were forming for a dance on the floor, two negroes became involved in a quarrel as to right of places. This was for a time quieted but was renewed in the yard by others and terminated in the death of John Rutledge. He was a most estimable negro and had not participated in the affray. Three of the negroes were arrested and brought to town where a preliminary investigation was held. Joe Matthews, Bob Matthews and Will McClellen were charged with the murder. The greater portion of the week was consumed with the investigation. The defendants were represented by Caldwell, Hames and Woodward, the State by Solicitor Martin. After a long stubborn fight on each side, Bob Matthews was released, Will McClellen admitted to bail and Joe Matthews commited for trial. The evidence showed that Rutledge had in no way participated in the quarrel and it is a matter of conjecture as why he was the one singled out as the doomed man. We can say nothing of the guilt or innocence of the parties charged and give only the result of the preliminary investigation as stated above. --- CROSS PLAINS News Items We had a very sudden death here, old Mother Keith on Thursday last, the particulars of which you have doubless heard before now.

She was a devoted christian woman, a loyal, loving wife, and a fine and tender mother. What higher tribute can be paid her? She faithfully filled the obligations her life imposed upon her. She answered fully God's requirements in the sphere of her duty. And she has her reward. Through the gloom and shadows surrounding this present dispensation of His providence, her sorrowing friends, with an eye of faith, can easily pierce and behold, in the beautiful Beyond, a scene full of richest compensation for all their anguish here. Yes, she is happier than the happiest mortal that ever lived on earth, and this assured truth founded her life, and grounded on God's promises to His children, will carry healing to the wounded hearts of those who loved her. --- File at: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/al/calhoun/newspapers/newspape1111gnw.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 12.1 Kb

Calhoun County AlArchives News.....Newspaper abstracts for October 1880 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/al/alfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: C. Gravelle tealtree@comcast.net September 16, 2006, 3:34 pm The Jacksonville Republican October 1880 October 1880 NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE JACKSONVILLE REPUBLICAN", Jacksonville, Calhoun County, Alabama for OCTOBER 1880 NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, October 2, 1880 (NOTE: There are several missing issues and pages of the newspaper on the microfilm roll for OCT 1880) LOCAL News J.W. Morgan, (Uncle Wash as he is familarly called), on last Monday, while slitting a piece of wool, cut his foot from the instep to the toes, thereby inflicting a very deep and dangerous wound. Dr. Hughes, his attending physician, doubts his recovery. --- The estimable wife of John P. Spencer, formerly of Oxford, died in Columbiana Sept. 24th. --- Wm. N. Cunningham died Sept. 25th. --- Mr. John M. Patterson of this county, left for Selma on Wednesday with his little daughter to have Dr. Clarke remove, with the knife, a melon seed that became lodged in her windpipe some time ago. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, October 9, 1880 DEATH OF JUDGE CANNON It is our melancholy duty to announce to the people of Calhoun that Judge Larkin W. Cannon is dead. In the presence of his family and friends he breathed his last at his home in this place Monday the 4th inst. He was buried Wednesday with Masonic honors. Elsewhere appear the proceedings of a meeting of the bar and citizens and the resolutions of the same upon his death. This space at our command this week does not admit of such a tribute to the memory of this good man as his virtues entitle hom to, and we shall not attempt it this week. His consistent christian life was its own eulogy. His death will carry a pang to every true heart in our county. Next week we will have something to say of his worth as a private citizen and public man. --- LOCAL News We only learned this week of the death of Mrs. Turner, wife of Rev. D.B. Turner of this county. She was a most estimable lady in every relation of life and the news of her death will be sad intelligence to a large circle of friends in this county. The aged and respected husband of the deceased lady will have the sympathy of all who hear of his sad bereavement. --- Married, on Sept. 30th by Rev. Anson West, Miss Annie Camp and Mr. J.A. Thornton, both of Talladega county. Mr. Thornton is a son of Judge Thornton of Talladega and, we learn, a most excellent gentleman. Surely he should be such, to deserve so fair and gentle bride as he has won. Through, let us hope, a long life, we will follow them with warmest wishes for their happiness and prosperity. --- PROCEEDINGS OF A MEETING OF THE BAR AND PEOPLE, On the Death of Judge Larkin W. Cannon At a meeting of the Bar and citizens of Calhoun county, held at the Court house in Jacksonville, Ala., on the 6th of October for the purpose of paying a proper tribute to the memory of Hon. L.W. Cannon, deceased, late Judge of the Probate Court of this county, Col. James Crook announced the object of the meeting and called Hon. G.C. Ellis to preside and Jno. M. Caldwell Esq. to the Secretary's chair. The following preamble and resolutions were offered by Hon. Jno. H. Caldwell: Whereas it has pleased Almighty God during the present Term of this Circuit Court to call from the active scenes of life, our much esteemed and lamented friend, Larkin W. Cannon, who for six years has been the able and efficient Judge of Probate for Calhoun county; and, Whereas, from long acquaintance with the merits of our deceased friend, as a man and an officer, it becomes the duty and is the melancholy pleasure of the Bar and citizens generally of our county to give public expression of our appreciation of a Judge whose official life was upright and incorrupitible and whose walk and conversation as a man was blameless and without guile. Therefore; Resolved, that in the death of Larkin W. Cannon, the country has lost a Judge who has worn the ermine unsullied, and whose record is without spot or blemish; society has lost a member whose private virtues are worthy of emulation, the church a follower whose christian virtues partook of the inspiration of the Master; his family an affectionate father and a tender loving husband. Resolved, that we tender his bereaved family our heartfelt condolence and as a further evidence of our great esteem for our friend, we ask His Honor W.L. Whitlock to adjourn the Circuit Court at half past nine o'clock tomorrow morning, Oct. 6th, to attend the burial services of the deceased and that he permit the foregoing preamble and resolutions to be spread upon the minutes of his Court. Touching and eloquent tributes were then paid to the many virtues and good qualities that characterized the deceased by John T. Martin, Esq., Hon. Wm. M. Hames, Hon. John H. Caldwell and H.L. Stevenson, Esq. The resolutions were then adopted. The Republican was requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting and a copy was ordered to be furnished the family of the deceased. G.C. Ellis, Chairman, John M. Caldwell, Sec'y. ------ NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, October 23, 1880 CROSS PLAINS News Items Our community was greatly shocked last Monday on hearing of the very sudden death of Mr. S.D. Johnson, one of our oldest and useful citizens. This sad and unexpected event occurred in Rome on the night of the 17th inst. Mr. Johnson left home that evening in his usual health, on his way to Atlanta to buy goods, stopped overnight in Rome and retired about ten o'clock, after having conversed pleasantly with two or three gentlemen. Not appearing the next morning at breakfast, a servant was sent to his room to wake him, when the discovery was made that he was dead. His remains were brought home Tuesday and interred in the cemetery in this place. A large procession of sorrowing friends following them to their last resting place. Truly a good citizen and an upright man is gone. We tender to the bereaved relatives our sympathy and condolence. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, October 30, 1880 LOCAL News Mr. E.L. Woodward, one of Jacksonville's oldest and best citizens, lies dangerously sick. --- OBITUARY OF HON. LARKIN W. CANNON Hon. L.W. Cannon, Probate Judge of Calhoun county, died at his residence in Jacksonville on the 4th day of October, A.D., 1880. At the time of his death he was sixty years of age. He had been almost a constant sufferer for several years previous to his death, but without murmuring and was never failing in the fulfillment of every day duty. He was born in Spartanburg District, S.C. and spent his boyhood there, and when only 18 years old, cast his lot in with the noble men and women who first moved to the northern portion of Alabama and who brought no capital save their brain and muscle, and who knew no role of business in their dealings but that of "honesty for honesty's sake." He won their confidence and good will and retained them to the end, insomuch that not one of them surviving will withhold the plaudit "Well done friend of our earlier days, sleep in death the well earned peaceful sleep that the noblest of God's creation alone can claim." And now, we that came after these that soon will lie down beside you, and who knew you as counselor, friend, father, would in this notice render our feeble tribute to your memory. A christian character without blemish, moral worth, let the records speak. Unquestionable intregity, 'twere base ingratitude to doubt it. Of paternal affection and devotion to his offspring, the feeblest tongue that lisped "Grandpa" could in volumes speak. Thou hast left us but so long as human hearts beat, and thy blood shall through them flow, thy virtues will not be untold. We miss you and your uneering counsels shall no more be to us the friend in need, but with obedient hearts we commit thee to the full enjoyment of that hope that stayed thy soul on Him who gave it, and in patience wait the end that will find thee in the blissful field of Paradise, rich reward to faithful servant given. No bitter scoffings can stir thy heart, no treacherous tongue beguile thy way, but in the Eden of God's love, thy soul in endless peace will stay. S.
