Iowa Recorder Greene, Butler, Iowa March 20, 1907 IOWA STATE NEWS MAN SHOT BY EDITOR DIES Latte is Charged with Murder and Violence is Feared M.S. Brundridge, who was shot by A.H. Sniff, editor of the Harrison County News because he objected to an article in the paper, died in Missouri Valley of his injuries. Feeling among the friends of Brundridge is quite bitter and it is feared violence may be attempted on Sniff. Sniff is held in $5,000 bond on a charge that was changed from assault with intent to ill to one of murder. The trouble arose over a row at a dance in which Brundridge's brother-in-law, A.L. Fouts, was stabbed in the neck following a quarrel. A strange part of the whole affair is that the name of the dead man was never mentioned in the original article detailing the trouble at the dance. BANKER IS INDICTED E.E. Snyder, Owner of Institution Which Failed Must Answer A special grand jury in Anamosa has returned four indictments against E.E. Snyder who was owner of the Olin bank at the time of its failure for $250,000 in November, 1904. Snyder has been indicted at four different terms of court. In consideration of his entering a plea of guilty in one case the State dismissed the other three cases. The court imposed a fine of $100 which created a storm of indignation, resulting in a special panel being called to consider the case again. Little Girl Terribly Burned Lorene, aged 7 years, the daughter of William Myers, a prominent Dubuque livery man, is lying in a critical condition as a result of colliding with another sister who was carrying a bowl of hot soup. The little girl ran in front of her sister, upsetting the bowl and receiving the contents on her face and breast. Should she survive she will be marked for life. Leaps from Bridge To Death Crazed by liquor, Roy Beck leaped over the railing of the Court avenue bridge in Des Moines, shattering his brains out on an abutment forty feet below. He was 32 years of age and unmarried. The dramatic ending of a life was witnessed by over a hundred persons. Man Falls to Death. Hans Drelin, an employe at the Smith box factory in Clinton, fell from a high step ladder, while he was oiling machinery, receiving injuries from which he died a few minutes later. SAY MINE IS HAUNTED Shaft Thirteen in Oskaloosa Invaded by Weird Apparation. With the report that a ghost is haunting shaft No. 13 in the mines at Oskaloosa the negro miners are in a fever of fear. Numerous miners have reported seeing the wraith. It floats along beside the men and at one time when a party of men hunted it down and got it into a corner the figure suddenly vanished into thin air. Some say it resembles a soldier in a uniform and slouch hat. The entire camp is stirred up by the weird apparition. Many of the miners have become sick over it. One boy was almost crazed by fright. Within Our Borders - Washington Wyland, a pioneer of Shelby county, passed away at Harlan. - Mathew Boyle, aged 60, was struck and killed by a Northwestern train at DeWitt. - Mrs. James Pile of Des Moines while eating breakfast succumbed to a paralytic stroke. - Mrs. Thornton, living with her mother at Sigourney, was poisoned by using some condensed milk. - M.M. Brashor of Osceola has just received a payment of three dollars which has been due for twenty years. - Frank H. Holman of Waterloo while sweeping off the walk in front of the house fell dead from apoplexy. - A Jack-the-Hugger is busy at Shenandoah, several women having been accosted by him in the last few nights. - John I. Veach of Webster City is suing his cousin, W.H. Veach of the same place, for $5,000 personal damages. - M.B. Miles, first sergeant of Company H.I.N.G., stationed at Atlantic, has been elected captain of the company. - Mrs. Sylvester Lacey, a pioneer resident of Marshalltown, dropped dead of heart disease. She was the widow of the late Mr. Lacey, former president of the commercial State bank. She was 75 years old. - The remains of Henry Glen Wood were brought to Clarion from Newcastle, Wyo. He was a brakeman on the C., B. & Q. railroad and fell between the cars and had both legs cut off. - Patrick Hassett of Davenport is suing the McCarthy Construction Company for $1,000 on account of injuries received by falling into a hole which he claims was left open by the defendants. - Fred Techentin of Davenport is suing the Tri-City Railway Company for $10,000 for injuries received by falling over a stake which he claims was left out in the street through their negligence.

The Hawk Eye Burlington, Des Moines, Iowa March 19, 1874 THE STATE - Scarlet fever is raging in Garner, Hancock county. - Coal has been discovered in Linn county near Fairfax. - The hearing of the case of Lewis M. Johnson, accused of the murder of Mrs. Brownlie and her son, is set for Monday the 23d instant, at Davenport. - Mrs. Mierker and her family were very nearly suffocated by gas one night last week, having left a lid partially out of its place on the coal stove in one of the sleeping apartments. - Colcord, the man arrested on the charge of embezzlement of money in the Shelden post office, has been released. The story of the embezzlement was without any foundation. - Mrs. William H. Clausen of Council Bluffs is the mother of a healthy son, forty-eight hours old, or rather young, weighing fifteen pounds. And yet old fogies croak about the degeneration of the human race. - The roof and ceiling of a school house near Council Bluffs caught fire last Monday and Mills Boucher went aloft and fought the fire with snow which the scholars passed up to her, until the progress of the devouring element was checked. The Council Bluffs fire companies propose to elect her an honorary member of the department. - Gunn, the detective, who tried to work up the Egglesht gang in Davenport, and made a signal failure of it, has made another brilliant movement. He played the agreeable to Egglesht's wife, and got four thousand dollars' worth of diamonds from her, on the plea of serving in her husband's cause. Before he could turn the jewels over to the bank he was working for, the woman replevined them. There may be, and indeed there are, more bungling men than the detectives of the nineteenth century, but they are dead. Cathy Joynt Labath Iowa Old Press http://www.IowaOldPress.com/

One final thought. Costs. Yuck. I attempted to borrow books through Interlibrary Loan today from the California State Library, Sutro Branch, and have been advised that due to high postage costs, they are no longer loaning materials out of state. They hope to resume in the near future, but for now I cannot get the books that I wanted. All libraries and other resource facilities are being squeezed by high costs. Heritage Quest stopped individual subscriptions, but most major libraries subscribe to it, and if you have a library card and a home PC, you can usually access Heritage Quest through your hometown library for free. They have census records, books, etc. Finally, Rootsweb and USGenWeb continue to be FABULOUS resources for finding FREE information, and I applaud all those volunteers who contribute information to share with others. And I encourage you, if you have books at home, or have non-copyrighted materials at home that you can share with these great web sites, including cemetery records, marriages, census records, etc., even if for your own surname, please do so. FREE is the best gift of all to a genealogist.

Burlington Weekly Hawkeye Burlington, Des Moines, Iowa March 18, 1865 OUR STATE - The residence of Martin Eversole, near Virginia Grove, Louisa county, was destroyed by fire on Monday last. The Republican states its contents were also mostly consumed, and that the property was uninsured. - Col. Darius E. Cook, of the 2d Iowa infantry, has been confirmed Brigadier General by brevet. - The Chicago Journal says "Iowa is the most thoroughly Republican State in the Northwest." - Sullivan, the young man who in a fit of insanity killed his mother with an ax, in Appanoose county, has been sent to the Hospital for the Insane. So says the Appanoose Citizen. - We learn from the Marengo Review, that the Temperance Ticket triumphed at the election in that place. The contest was spirited. C.D. Hostetter was elected Mayor. - We learn from the Charles City Intelligencer that Patrick Burns, a citizen of Floyd county, was recently killed by a falling tree. He was found with the tree lying upon his head, and both hands grasping the handle of the ax. - The Albia Union says that on the night of the 5th instant some infamous villains stole from the residence of Nancy Beedle and Rebecca Spurgeon, of Monroe County, two trunks and two pine boxes filled with dry goods. A reward of two hundred dollars is offered for the arrest of the thieves and the recovery of the property. - Mr. James Kelly, while at work in Mr. Allen's steam saw mill, near Oskaloosa, was so badly injured by a circular saw as to necessitate the amputation of his left arm. - The Courier learns that Maj. A.H. Hamilton, of the 36th Iowa, is to have a clerkship in the Senate at Washington. THE FIRE - The fire Tuesday night originated in the old wooden structure near the corner of Fourth and Jefferson streets, the lower story of which was occupied by Mr. McGrue as a grocery store, and the upper story by F. Ead, as a shoemaker's shop. Mr. McGrue's stock was insured for $800, which will fully cover his loss; and we are informed that the leather and tools of the shop above were nearly all removed and saved. The adjoining building, on the corner, was occupied by Lange & Co., grocers, whose stock was valued at $3,000 - insured for $3,400. Mr. Hageman and family lived in the rooms above, upon whose furniture there was an insurance of $400, which will no more than cover his loss. The Neally House was damaged to the extent of $300 or $400 - fully insured. The window-blinds, sashes, doors, &c, on the north side of the building were all destroyed, and the furniture was damaged considerably by water and removal. The new brick house of J.L. Corse, contiguous to the fire and the stores adjoining were only saved by the most extraordinary exertions. The fire at one time found its way through the wall and ignited a large lot of wall paper, but was finally subdued. So intense was the heat that the walls were warped inwardly some two or three inches and cracked from top to bottom. The injury done to Mr. Corse's stock and building will reach $1,000 or $1,500 - fully covered by insurance. A large portion of his stock of books and paper was removed, by which it was more or less damaged. The inefficiency of the Fire Department was manifest from the outset. The engines were not on the ground until the worst was over, and the hook and ladder company, for want of ropes and other appurtenances, were able to render but trifling service. Burlington should have two good fire companies, a hook and ladder and also a hose company. We trust the authorities will take the necessary action to get up and sustain organizations of this character, so essential to the well being and safety of every well regulated city. The fire of Tuesday night was the first of any consequence that has occurred in this community for nearly two years. MARRIED. At Trinity Church, March 8th, 1865, by Rev. F. Emerson Judd, JOHN G.

On an 1895 map of Iowa I only find Mt. Joy between Davenport and Eldridge. However, I do find some addresses on Slopertown Road, Eldridge, IA and Slopertown Road, Davenport, IA. Also some genealogy file referring to persons living in Slopertown, Scott County, Iowa. Slopertown Road runs west from North Harrison along the north side of the Davenport Municipal Airport, then northwest until it intersects with state highway 130. Highway 130 is also called Northwest Blvd and New Liberty Road at various points. If this was the road to Slopertown it may have been close to the current location of the Davenport Airport.

You might want to check the court records. There surely was a trial for the murder. The case file should be in the Marion County District Court office in Knoxville unless the trial had a change of venue, but that too would be indicated. juanita > Would anyone have access to an article year 1898 regarding the killing > of Andrew Messemaker 23 September 1898 in Pella, Iowa?
