Lawrence (KS) Daily Tribune, July 14, 1867, p. 2. A MINISTER KILLED-Rev. J. J. Near of Jeffersonville, Ind., was killed in a shocking manner at the Louisville water works on last Friday. He, in company with several ladies, visited the waterworks and commenced a tour of examination. While the party was in the upper store of the building inspecting the machinery connected with the huge force pump, Mr. Near, in order to observe the action of the machinery went to the rim or bannister of the pump enclosure and leaned upon it. He unwitting stood immediately under the force pump lunge.

Cincinnati (OH) Enquirer, January 16, 1880, p. 7. BAD BARNES He Marries a Divorced Wife, Kidnaps Her Child and Is Indicted by the Grand Jury Nashville, Indiana, January 14-A rather novel case has just been disposed of in our circuit court. At the last session of the grand jury of Brown County, Elliott Barnes was indicted for kidnapping a child under the following circumstances: Benoni S. Roberts was a father of a child, and his wife was its mother. The father and mother separated and were divorced, the mother being awarded the custody of her child on account of its tender age, much to the discomfiture of the father who kept a strict surveillance over the mother and child. His opportunity came. It was at a Sabbath school picnic. He discovered his divorced wife in flagrante delicto with a man not then or ever her husband, Elliott Barnes. Benoni at once appeared in court and succeeded in showing that his divorced spouse was not a fit person to have the care of their child, when Judge James S. Hester ordered the child into custody of the sheriff. Since then Judge Hester has died, and Elliott Barnes has become the husband of the divorced wife of Benoni S. Roberts. Barnes, at the request and earnest solicitation of his wife, kidnapped and stole the child away from the sheriff, it whose custody it was, for which Barnes has since been indicted. The case was called today in our circuit court when Judge N. T. Carr held that Judge Hester had no right by law to place the child in the custody of the sheriff. Barnes was released.

Salem (IN) Republican Leader, February 5, 1882. [Palmyra Items]-Decatur Taylor, an old and respected citizen, died of lagrippe last week. He was the oldest Freemason in this vicinity and was never married.

Salem (IN) Republic Leader, November 12, 1897. Neild Taylor was called to Greenville last week on account of the death of his brother.

Salem (IN) Republican Leader, March 17, 1893. NOTE: The item below was abbreviated from the original as noted by the ellipsis. The remains of Willis W. Tatlock were interred at Franklin grave yard last Saturday, Samuel Reid Post No. 87 G. A. R. conducting the services. Remarks were made by Rev. Cadwell and Robert W. Allen. The following military history of the deceased was written by Henry C. Thompson and was ready by comrade R. W. Allen. Willis Warren Tatlock was born December 20, 1843, died March 10, 1893, aged 49 years, 2 months and 18 days. When a mere boy of 18 years he enlisted in the Union army to defend the old flag and keep it from being trailed in the dust. He was a member of Co. B, 16th Ind. Regt., and served in that regiment three years until the war was ended. If there was one thing more than another that Willis Tatlock was proud of, it was his soldier record, and well he might be proud of it.On the 24th of May, 1864, at Yellow Bayou, Louisiana, he was captured by the enemy and taken to one of those hells on earth called a southern prison situated at Tyler, Texas, and kept there until the 27th of May, 1865, when he with nine others of his company were exchanged at the mouth of Red River, having served in that capacity twelve months and three days. He leaves a wife and four interesting children, three sons and one daughter, all of whom have come to the age of maturity except one, and a host of friends and neighbors to mourn his loss. He was a good neighbor, a kind and indulgent husband and father, and a good citizen. He was general to a fault; no one can say that they ever went to Willis Tatlock for a favor but what they got it if it was in his power. He was always liberal to all the churches and ministers of the gospel. Willis Tatlock was a charter member of Samuel Reid Post No. 87 Grand Army of the Republic, and an enthusiastic worker in the Post up to the time of his illness. ------------------------------------- [Same newspaper, same date, under the New Philadelphia items.] W. W. Tatlock, a well known and respected citizen and soldier, died at his residence near here Mach 10, 1893. He was born in this county March 20, 1843. He has been sick for several months. He leaves a wife and four children and many relatives and friends to mourn his departure. He was buried by the G. A. R. at the Franklin Cemetery March 11. Our sympathy we extend to the bereaved family in time of their loss.
