"West Grove News".-- The sad news reaches us of the death of the beloved wife of Hiram Landreth, after an illness of about 40 hours. She passed from this unfriendly world to a fairer and better land than this. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community, and have the one great consolation that she had obeyed all the commandments of King Emmanuel, and the Mighty Counselor can say when he pleads her case before the judgment seat of God, that she has kept the Law and is entitled to the reward....Who can say more? N.B.: Remember, that some called the 1890's, the "Gay Nineties", while others saw the world as a 'veil of tears', wherein those who died were buried in 'the silent city'......For Exona (Nevins) Landreth, see "Darby's List". --W.F. THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. December 29, 1887. "Hoss Creek News".-- The death of Sister Landreth has cast a gloom over the entire community. The bereaved husband has the sympathy of all. N.B.: The 1885 Iowa State Census shows that Hiram Landreth lived on the east half of the northeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section 17 township 69 range 42 in Fremont county, Iowa. This locates his home as being about 1/2 miles west of the Lacy Grove District School, and yet the news of the death of Mrs. Exona (Nevins) Landreth appears in the Horse Creek news and in the West Grove news! In 1895, D. D. Darby included Horse Creek AND West Grove within the neighborhood of the Lacy Grove Neighborhood: (1).--An explanation of this might lie in the fact that Lacy Grove school was 'just down the road' from West Grove school. (For a number of decades, the main route between Sidney and Thurman laid northwest and southeast, and passed closely by both schools. This road followed the loess ridges separating Horse Creek, Coopers Creek and Camp Creek, before descending into Plum Creek hollow and on into Thurman.) (2).-- AND, a referral to a map showing the course of Horse Creek in the loess hills, shows that it might very well might drain much of section 17 where Hiram Landreth lived. (There might have been a road 'up the creek' which ran from the Missouri bottom up to the Lacy Grove neighborhood.) (3).-- When a local preacher, John Milton Morris, helped with a revival in the Lacy home in 1852, he called the site "Lacy Grove". But the SUN in 1903 said this revival took place at West Grove!--W.F.
