    1. [InMontgo] I can wholeheartedly relate to this one as I'm an elopee too :) KZ
    2. Karen Zach
    3. Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Nov 21, 1891 -- The Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday contained a sensational dispatch from Crawfordsville giving what purported to have been the elopement of Joe Hicks "an Indianapolis barber," with Miss Nannie Goslin, daughter of "the wealthiest man in Browns' Valley," the couple as alleged, being closely pursued by the irate father of the young lady, the old gentleman being armed with a double-barrel shotgun double shotted. In the light of cold facts the story becomes at once divested of its sensational dress. Joseph Hicks, the bridegroom for the past 7 months has been employed at Edward L. Hunt's barber shop on Washington Street near Mississippi. He was born and raised in Browns Valley, where his parents, who are respectable, well-to-do people now reside. His family have for years lived adjacent tot he home of the Goslins, and the children of both families were school mates and play fellows. Joe Hicks and Miss Goslin long since entered into a marriage engagement, the same being opposed by the young lady's parents. On Monday evening last Miss Goslin came to Indianapolis, and Tuesday evening, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hunt, 282 Blackford Street she and Mr. Hicks were quietly united in marriage. The young couple have since remained in this city, and the groom is pursuing his vocation at the Hunt establishment. He is much chagrined at the story sent out from Crawfordsville and cannot account for it. Indianapolis Journal

Poor, happy-go-lucky June, always laughing and sparkling always good hearted but with a fatal penchant for other people's property. His end is a sad one and his life an example to his old companision among whom he was a lender.

    2. Karen Zach
    3. Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Sat, Nov 21, 1891 -- "Help me! Help me! My husband wants to kill me," was the cry of a woman on the streets of Covington Tuesday evening. It was the wife of Wm. Milligan, a hard working house mover who lately moved there from this town, though he had only lived here a short time, having moved from Stone BLuff. She was sent to Prosecutor Bingham for the necessary protection and had hardly reached his office when a cry of fire was made. It was found that their residence was on fire. William had piled the household goods in the center of the room and set them on fire and was standing on the outside watching them burn. Good citizens soon extinguished the flame and William was marched to mail. He had a hearing before Mayor Martin and placed under $1,000 bond, in default of whih he was sent to jail to await the action of the court. William has one bad fault, he drinks too much and don't know when to stop. He is a good-hearted fellow, don't mean to do anyone harm and if his wife was as good a woman as he is a man, they certainly would live a much happier life, at least that is our opinion. Veedersburgh News. Mr. Milligan until recently lived in Crawfordsville. He seems to have been on the fly since leaving.

    1. [InMontgo] This by the way was next to the Russel item - not too dangerous
    2. Karen Zach
    3. Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Saturday, Nov 21 1891 -- Last Saturday the little daughter of Earnest F. Dorsey, the janitor of the central school building was taken with the diphtheria. Information was at once lodged with the school board and that body went into a sunday session next morning. The matter was thoroughly discussed and action promptly taken. All the children of Mr. Dorsey except the afflicted one were sent to the country in order that they might escape the contagion. The sick child will receive every attention during the week and as the case is not an alarming one it is hoped that it will be sufficiently recovered by the end of the week to warrant the removal. In this case the place will be thoroughly fumigated and gad (sic) willing will be resumed as of yore next Monday morning. THis week there was no school at the central building but there was at the Mills, Willson and Lincoln schools. The teachers and pupils of the central building are free to read, gossip, hunt or wade about in the water according to several inclinations. There are a number of cases of diphtheria about the city but so far as learned no very dangerous ones. There have been nod eaths as yet and it is to be hoped that the matter will find a close within a week or so. In the meantime parents cannot exercise too much precaution as the weather at present is most dangerous for the exposure of children who have passed several months' confinement in the shcool room.

    3. Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Saturday, Nov 21 1891 -- Martin Russel and wife live several miles north of this city in the vicinity of Linden. They are childless now but on October 28th had three bright and pretty children of an interesting age. It was a happy famiy and everything seemed bright and happy. Suddenly one day the children took colds and in a few hours the little five-year-old daughter, Georgie died of a pronounced case of diptheria. It was a terrible blow to the panrets but their attention was occupied in attending to their other daughter, Ella, aged nine who was also taken down with the same disease. For a week they fought death only to be vanquished in the end. The grief of the parents was terrible and the poor mother was unconscious the greater part of the time during the funeral. They had scarcely returned from burying little Ella when their third and last child, Raymond, a bright 3-year-old boy was also seized by the terrible disease. With sickened hearts the parents awaited the final and inevitable end. Death came Saturday afternoon andt he burial occurred Sunday. The scene at the cemetery is said to have been harrowing in the extreme. Mrs. Russel was wild with distraction and fainted three times during the short ceremon ies at the grave. The last time she could not be brought to her senses and was taken home in the hack as one dead. Mr. and Mrs. RUssel are completely prostrated and take apparently no interest in their surroundings. Mr. Russel had been peculiarly unfortunate in his children by a former marriage he had 8. Seven of those and his wife died within a short time of each other and now all that is left to him of 11 children is one son, a young man grown.

She went into the organization of the Baptist Church in the year 1884 and from that time on has been one of the most earnest workers in the church. She and her husband did a noble part in the erection of the new Baptist Church just finished at New market. She was very anxious to see the house completed but it was not finished in time for her to see it. Today the mortal body was taken to te church for the first time but the spirit had gone to the mansion of glory and dwell with the redeemed of God in that house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. She was truly an affectionate wife, a dear sister, a kind neighbor and an earnest Christian. She died April 14 1891. Sitting in her arm chair while she bid farewell to all her loved ones gathered around her the spirit took its flight to the God who gave it! Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee, Leave oh leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me. The sermon was preached by Rev. SK Fuson, of Rockville from Revelations 14th Chapt. 13th Verse.
