January 9, 1930. -- John Henry Baldwin was born near Wheeling, West Virginia, on October 11, 1852 and died at the Nicholas Senn hospital in Omaha January 1, 1930 at the age of 77years 2 months 20 days. September 22, 1877 he was united in marriage to Caroline V. Dorsey and to their union was born one son, Leon Alva Baldwin, who survives, together with his mother. There are three grandsons and a host of lesser relatives and friends left to mourn his departure. In the mid-winter of 1884 the family departed from Wheeling and moved westward, settling at Bedford, Iowa, where they lived until 1894. They then moved to Elliott, living there until 1900 when they moved to Red Oak. Mr. Baldwin united with the Baptist church at Bedford, but on moving to Elliott affilliated with the Methodist church, also at Red Oak. In his private life he was a model citizen. He engaged himself in the creamery business and for twenty years traveled for David Cole Creamery company, retiring about two years ago. He was honest, true and upright in all of his dealings. He was one of those tried and true men whose reputation slander dare not touch, whose retreat malignity dare not invade, whose motives prejudice dare not lmpugn. Men who knew him best loved him best, and those who associated with him most valued his friendship and counsel most. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church in Riverton last Fridaty, January 3, at 2:30 p.m. The service was conducted by Rev. l. L. Weis of Red Oak, assisted by Rev. H. P.Grinyer. Interment was made in Riverton cemetery. CARD OF THANKS: Our heartfelt thanks go out to all our friends and neighbors who showered upon us their manifold deeds of kindness and sympathy in the loss of our beloved husband and father. Also to the singers and those who provided the profusion of flowers.--Mrs. J. H. Baldwin, Dr. L. A. Baldwin and Family.

Darby, of Sidney, as a candidate for the office of clerk of the district court subject to the will of the democratic county convention. Perhaps no other candidate could have announced himself who is more generally known than Mr. Darby. He has been in this county for many years and has been over every townshipl He has been a successful school man and his services in this line are in demand. He has seldom made application for a school, but has had the pleasure of accepting positions which were offered. He holds to a very high standard of morals, stands for perfect honesty and uprightness and maintains the strictest integrity in all the walks of life. His friends are as numerous as the poulation of the county.He is always courteous, kind and ready to assist in making the world better Such qualifications are necessary for public officers. If the party sees fit to nominate Mr. Darby he will make a good campaign and if elected will be an accommodating and painstaking officer. If he is not the choice of the convention, he will work hard for the ticket just the same.

December 13, 1945. "DIES IN HOSPITAL FOLLOWING CRASH".-- Thomas E. James, prominent Sidney resident, passed away at the Hamburg hospital just after midnight last Thursday morning as the result of injuries sustained when his car, which he was driving, crashed into the south concrete steps of the courthouse yard at Sidney. No reason for the accident could be given, as parties who had been following him as he drove up South street said he appeared to be driving normally and to have his car under control. The accident occurred about 5:30 Wednesday evening, and he was rushed to the hospital immediately, and apparently had recovered from the extreme shock of the accident when he passed away. Thomas Edgar James, the second son of Sarah Tyndall and John Edward James was born in Laurel county, Sussex county, Delaware on April 24th, 1867 and died Dec. 6, 1945. He moved to Fremont county with his parents when a boy of six years. His education was acquired in the Hamburg and rural schools. At an early age he entered business for himself. On November 1, 1888, he was united in marrige to Paulina (sic ) E. Hiatt at the old Hiatt homestead just north of Sidney. To this union was born three children, Miles R. James of St. Louis, Gladys Madeline Hardy of Council Bluffs and Herschel James of Tabor. He was a great lover of children and his life was enriched by four grandchildren: Eula Lee Gerber, Lt. Thomas A. James, Mercedes James and Leslie Hardy, and three great grand children: Martha Lou and James Edward Gerber and Judy Lee James. Thomas E. James was not only a prominent business man, he was a man who held a keen interest in the social and civic life of his community, and who gave much of his time and ability to public and church offices. He was president of the Fremont County Savings bank for a number of years, a member of the school board, a trustee and usher in the Methodist church for many years. He served as president of the Sidney Commercial club, as councilman and for 55 years was a farmer, livestock feeder and business man. He proved himself an asset to his community, and his influence, friednship and generosity will be sadly missed. He is survived, besides his children, by his wife, three sisters, Mrs. Lyda Snyder, of Hiawatha, Kansas; Mrs. Margaret Hiatt of Sidney; and Mrs. Pearle Booher of Missouri Valley; one brother, Charlie James of Lincoln, Neb.; seven nieces and three nephews.

N.B.: Giles Henderson was the son of Andrew Jackson Henderson and his wife Margaret (Ashworth) Henderson.....Minerva Rose Kimsey was the daughter of Patrick K. Kimsey and his wife Margaret McCluskey.--W.F. 3. THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. Feb . 25, 1897. "Ellis.--Died, Feb. 21, 1897, Mrs. Margaret Ellis, aged 73 years." Mrs. (sic) Margaret Ashworth was born in Kentucky Feb. 21, 1824. When about 15 years of age she moved with her parents to Platte county, Missouri.She was married to A. J. Henderson at the age of 18 and to this union was born seven sons and seven daughters, seven of whom now live to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother. One son living in the northern part of the state and a daughter living in Kansas could not be present at the burial. Mrs. Henderson was converted forty years ago, while living in Holt county, Missouri, and united with the Baptist church. They moved to this county in 1864 and she united with the Baptist church of Sidney. In 1869 she took a letter from the Sidney church and united with the church at Pleasant Grove. Mr. Henderson died in 1869 and she afterwards married John Ellis who died about six years ago. The long years of Mrs. Ellis' faithful and consistant christian life is worthy emulation by all. "Blessed are those who die in the Lord, they shall rest from their labors and their works do follow them" . She was laid to rest in the Sidney cemetery on Feb. 23, 1897. 4. THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. March 8, 1906. "P.K. KIMSEY".-- Another old Fremont county pioneer, P. K. Kimsey, died at the home of his son, A. E. Kimsey in Shenandoah on Thursday, March 1, 1906. Father Kimsey was born in Crittenden county, Kentucky, Sept. 25, 1825. He grew up there and was united in marriage with Margaret McCluskey, Dec. 1, 1847. Ten children were born to them, seven of whom, two sons and five daughters are yet living, viz: A.E. Kimsey of Shenandoah; Giles Kimsey of Oto, Iowa; Mrs. Lewis Hills, Mrs.Henry Ballinger and Mrs. W. J. Greenlee of Sidney, Iowa; Mrs. G. W. Henderson of Colridge, Neb.; Mrs.J. Lake of Battle Creek, Iowa. They were all in attendance at the funeral except Mrs. Henderson. Mr. Kimsey settled in Fremont county in 1852 and has lived ever since in the vicinity of Sidney with the exception of the last year or two when he has made his home with different members of his family. At the age of 22 he was converted and united with the Baptist church in which throughout the remainder of his life he was an honored member, and held various church offices. At the time of his death he was a member of the organization at Percival. For ten years he has been a patient sufferer but was faithful throughout. He was ususually well versed in the bible. He especially enjoyed his study during the last six months of his life. His end was bright with hope. He leaves behind him the record of a long and useful life and many old friends to mourn his death. Short services were held at the house of his son in Shenandoah by Rev. C. S. Hanley on Thursday evening, and on Friday the remains were brought to Sidney where the regular funeral services were held at the Baptist church conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Moore. The remains were interred in the McKissick cemetery beside his wife who died fifteen years ago. N.B.: The McKissick Cemetery is now known as the Acord Cemetery, and is located in the eastern part of Lacy Grove.....Is is strange (?) that most of the Acord records call it "McKissick's Cemetery".....William K. McKissick had married an Acord, and had owned the land on which it was laid out. This McKissick led a wagon train to Salt Lake City where his family -- and one of the Acords -- became prominent in the Mormon Church.--W.F.
