Carthage Republican, June 3, 1891, pg 1 Ferris: June 1. - Wm. Tennihill had the misfortune while crossing the fence yesterday morning to catch on of his feet in the pailing (sic), causing himself to be thrown in such a manner as to break all the bones in one ankle. Though a very bad fracture, he is resting quite easy. Dr. Madison rendered the necessary surgical assistance. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ John Smith, living five miles northwest of town, had the misfortune to have his residence take fire last Wednesday and before assistance could reach his home the fire had gained such headway that the building and contents were entirely destroyed. His friends are doing all they can to make him comfortable until he can again rebuild. The lumber is on the ground for a building. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ A Sunday school has been organized at the Lafayette school house with an encouraging outlook. There is no reason why this should not be one of the best schools in the township. There is a good intelligent class of citizens in this community, and they should protect themselves with this moral influence. Young Mr. Benchee was elected assistant superintendent, and Miss Nora Langner, leader of the singing. Mr. Wm. McCormic is the efficient secretary, and Mrs. Gill, librarian. At a festival given by the ladies of the Lafayette vicinity, $19.24 was realized. This will be applied on minister's salary. Good order prevailed throughout. [submitted by] OCCASIONAL ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Elderville June 1 - Corn is growing slowly. There is a great deal of complaint of moles destroying the corn, and some have to replant on account of them. Mr. Wm. Howard was thrown from a cart this morning, and his hip was broken and he received other painful injuries. Mr. and Mrs. Boren are gone on a two or three weeks' visit among relatives and friends at Plymouth and Clayton. Mrs. Amanda King, of Iowa, is visiting friends and relatives here. Miss Nannie Gable, of Iowa, is visiting with her parents and friends. While passing through here from Keokuk to Basco a few days ago Mr. Thomas Smith's team took fright and ran, but doing no serious injury. [submitted by] Guess. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Webster George Hasten, who at one time was thought to be out of danger, is again confined to his bed. Mrs. Ed. Wallsmith, of Keokuk, spent a week with her father, Chas. Callihan, recently. Rowd Robinson is visiting his friends a few days, having been called here from Missouri by the sad death of his brother Ira. Little Harry Long is dangerously ill with measles. [submitted by] CHAT ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ It is proposed to take the Mt. Sterling jail, Pike county court house and the "Q." depot at Quincy to the World's Fair. It would be a valuable and interesting collection of antiquity.

Carthage Republican, Jan 4, 1893 Burnside: A small child of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Taylor was buried last week. [this item was submitted to the Carthage Republican by Guy Oaks] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The News of Fountain Green Wednesday, March 9, 1927 Pg. 1 Frank Peck Has Fat Hog Stolen Hog Killed on Premises. Much excitement was aroused around the Joetta neighborhood Saturday morning when it was learned that a large hog had been stolen from Frank Peck Friday night. Mr. Peck keeps his hogs about a quarter of a mile from the house and it was unknown until the following morning when he went to feed the hogs and noticed some blood near the gate and after further investigation he found there was a hog missing. The animal had been killed in a shed near by and then dragged to the road to a waiting car. Mr. Peck and several men of the neighborhood traced the track but lost the clue after a short distance. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MRS. H. A. LATHEROW IS NEW OPERATOR The William Day, Sr., home was rented by the Fountain Green Farmers Telephone exchange, where Mrs. Harold Latherow will operate the switch board. The switch board was moved Friday of last week by Harry and Arthur Spangler and Mrs. Latherow took up her duty the same day. The wires and poles were moved by two men from Colchester on Thursday of last week. The switch board has been under the supervision of Miss Martha Walker for five successive years. Miss Walker's service was very good and no change would have been made had she not resigned. However, every one seems satisfied with the new operator and we feel certain that good telephone service will continue here. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Fountain Green will probably have electric lights by the middle of April as the construction work in town is nearly completed and only about two weeks will be required to finish setting the poles between here and Joetta. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Many Have Hatched Baby Chix Here Frankie Wrights Have 508 Chicken raising seems to be a very prosperous business in this community. Those who have thus far hatched spring chickens are Frank Wright, Mae Mort, Ruth Way and Mrs. Ellen Parker, most of these being incubator hatched. Frank Wright has 508 Leghorns, 293 of which are three weeks old and have their wings and tail feathers, and the remainder of the 508 are only two weeks old. Mae Mort has 50 chickens that are six weeks old and were probably the first hatched in this part of the country. She has 210 that were recently hatched. Ellen Parker also has quite a number of spring chix, the number being 150. Ruth Way is among those of the early chicken producers. It is not known the exact number of her early flock. Nellie Rings has two large incubators that will hatch some time soon and Mrs. Luther Martin has two incubators setting with Rhode Island Reds and Leghorns. James Sells of south of Webster have (sic) an order of 200 Buff Rocks to hatch for Mrs. Jergen Berg of Basco. Mr. Sells did quite an extensive business in selling baby chix last year, selling over seven hundred. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SMITH RETURNS FROM U.S. NAVY. Arlie Smith, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Andy Smith, returned home about one week ago, after four years of service in the United States navy. He is well known in this vicinity, as he spent most of his school days near here. He is now in Carthage with his folks, who moved there a few years ago. We join with the rest of his friends welcoming him home again.

Hi Coleen, I have a little bit of additional information about Lucy and her 3rd husband, Jim Sammons. James and Lucy were married on 3 December, 1908, at Lancaster, Schuyler Co., Missouri by Reverend C[harles] Wesley Burnett who at this time would have been James' brother-in-law, married to James' sister, Mary. In 1916, Lucy submitted a "Declaration of a Widow for Accrued Pension" to request payment based on Jim's service in the Civil War. According to her request, Jim had died on Nov. 12, 1915, after a long and difficult illness. The above information is from the Sammons' webpage at: <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cramsey/index.html> I have further information on Jim, but it's in connection to his first wife, my great-great-grandaunt, Sarah Ellen Way, and his service in the Army. He is also listed in the 1880 Gregg History of Hancock County. Jim Sammons is buried in the Willis Cemetery in Hancock County, next to Sarah Ellen (died 1903, at Joetta), and, I believe, his mother, Ann Mariah Hays Sammons Pennington. I have their tombstones (along with most of the other tombstones in Willis Cemetery) pictured on my website: <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~majorville/> in the Hancock & McDonough Sites & Photos section.

Posted on: Hancock Co. Il Obituaries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/HancockObits/355 Surname: Berry, Hainline, Simmons, Thompson ------------------------- Webster. Last Wednesday at 3 p. m. the angel of death spread his dark wings over the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Thompson, taking from their arms their little 9-months-old baby boy. Little Lysle had been ill but a week with dysentery. During his brief illness all that loving hands could do, all that skilled physicians could advise was done, Yet the little sufferer received no aid until the message from above, " ’Tis enough, come up a little higher," was sounded into his aching breast, then he fell asleep. Sweet in life, he was even sweeter in death. Clothed in a lovely robe of cream satin, the little body as it lay in a handsome white plush-covered casket surrounded with a wreath of white flowers, reminded one of a beautiful wax doll. In his tiny hands were a bunch of rose geranium which lent a delicate perfume to the little casket. Rev. Dr. Hyde delivered an impressive and comforting sermon, at the house, Thursday at 3 p. m., after which the little casket was placed in the hearse and followed by a large concourse of sympathizing friends, was taken to its last resting place in Wildwood cemetery. / . . . . "When we see a precious blossom,/ . . That we tended with such care,/ . . . . Rudely taken from our bosom,/ . . How our anxious hearts despair,/ . . . . We shall sleep but not forever;/ . . There will be a glorious dawn;/ . . . . We shall meet to part no, never,/ . . On the Resurrection morn." Mr. and Mrs. R. Hainline, of Colchester, attended the funeral of their baby brother. The Carthage Republican Carthage, Illinois Wednesday August 16, 1893 Page 1 Column 3 - ----------------------------- FROM HANCOCK. Aug. 14. — Died, Wednesday Aug. 9, 1893, Lilian H. Thompson, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Thompson, aged 5 months and 9 days. Funeral services conducted by Rev. Hyde of Carthage, burial at Webster Cemetery. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of this vicinity. Roach Hainline and wife, of Colchester, and Andrew Simmons and wife of Ft. Green, were present at the funeral services. SCHOOL GIRL.
