Carthage Republican Feb. 9, 1898 Our friend Wm. Foote announced that he would give a chicken fry to a select number of young ladied and gentlemen at bachelor's hall on Saturday night. Some young chickens went out from town for a dip of the rich gravy, but we learn that the affair was a flash in the pan. Clark & Lyon shipped five cars of fat cattle to Chicago Sunday. Our shippiers are of the Jewish faith, and direct us in reporting to stick to the text. The ice harvest closed here last week with one mashed toe, the subject being our pious friend, George Mouldin. Spring time is coming again, gentle Annie. The mellifious voice of the prairie chicken is heard in the distance these bright mornings.

Powell was in Missouri last week looking for cattle. Dr. McCormick reports all his sick patients on the mend. All should avail themselves of the opportunity to get The Carthage Republican until Nov. 9th, or nine months subscription for 75 cents. This is an advantage never before offered. Come and you will never regret it. Salisbury & Sons shipped a car load of cattle, bought of Dowd Furrow to Chicago last week, and struck a bad market for them. Scott Duffy and R.C.

Hello Listers, I was typing some obituaries of my family into my computer and thought I might pass along some articles and whatnots that might be of interest to some of you.

Father Furrow died this morning at 2 o'clock of lung fever, aged 82 years, after a two weeks illness. An unmarried son of his was taken sick last Sunday and died Thurday night last, aged about 60 years. Expecting the father to die hourly the corpse of the son was kept and both were burried (sic) this evening in the McKay cemtery; funeral discourse by Rev. Warner, of M.E. Church Carthage. Father Furrow was born June 15, 1798 in Montgomery Co. Virginia; emigrated to Miami Co. Ohio with his father in 1815, was received as a member in the M.E. church Jan 5th 1822; licensed to exhort Jan. 28 1833 in which capacity he served the church 47 years. Father Furrow died as he had lived without an enemy and a full confidence in Christ. Neighbors sympathise with the family.

How nice of you to go to the extra trouble. I found a helpful tidbit regarding one of my people, Hattie Ramsey. And I enjoyed the phrase, "Expecting the father to die hourly the corpse of the son was kept . . . ." An English teacher would have rapped the knuckles of that author. Marcia Farina
