Boonville Standard, Friday, August 6, 1897: Rome J. DILLINGHAM died Wednesday morning, Aug. 4, at 8:30 o'clock, of consumption, after an illness of five months. Deceased was aged 27 years. About three months since Mr. DILLINGHAM returned home from Washington D. C. where he had suffered a hemorrhage of the lungs, combined with the la grippe. It became evident to his many friends, on the return home of Mr. DILLINGHAM, that his death was but a question of short time. The deceased was the son of Capt. Charles DILLINGHAM, on of our best citizens, and a veteran of the late war. Deceased was educated in the Boonville public schools. Later on he studied law with Hatfield & Hemenway for several years, and was a member of the Warrick county bar. He gave up the study of law several years since, and accepted a position in J. H. MCCULLA'S furnishing store. About two years ago he was appointed clerk under Congressman James A. HEMENWAY, in Washington, and held this position until his serious illness. Deceased was a member of the K. and P. and Masonic fraternities, and has been through the local chairs of honor in the former lodge. Mr. DILLINGHAM was a young man of promising ability, and had hosts of friends wherever known. Funeral services, were held at the Main st. M. E. church yesterday at 4 p. m., being conducted by Revs. R. R. BRYAN, of this place, and H. C. ASHCROFT, of New Harmony, Ind. Burial at Maple Grove cemetery. The Masonic and K. of P. lodges participated in the last solemn rites. A Circuit Court Case The preliminary hearing of Isaac MCGLOUGHLIN, who a few weeks ago since shot Wm. J. BAKER, west of town, was brought before Squire RIGGS on Tuesday morning. MCGLOUGHLIN waived examination, so as to have his case tried, early as possible, before the Warrick circuit court. His bond was then raised from $500 to $1000. MCGLOUGHLIN'S friends failed to rally to his support, and in default of giving bond, he was placed in jail. Later--On Wednesday Mr. A. T. SEELEY went on MCGLOUGHLIN'S bond, and he was released from jail. >>
