"The Kansas City Journal of Commerce" (Missouri) Tuesday, May 15, 1877 Mr. F. WOCHER, whose dangerous illness was alluded to several days ago, expired at an early hour on Sunday morning. He had been a resident of Kansas City for nine years, engaged in the drug business at the corner of Fifth and Main streets, where he had built up and carried forward a highly successful trade. A native of Friedburg, Germany, he first located in Cincinnati, where, as a fellow clerk of George UMMETHUN, now of Leavenworth, he first acquired a practical knowledge of the drug business. He was afterward a resident of Indianapolis and Quincy. During his residence here, he had established a character for probity, enterprise and assiduous devotion to his profession, and was regarded as a highly estimable and substantial citizen. He leaves a wife and two children. His funeral took place yesterday from his late residence and was numerously attended. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

BRUSSINGHAM, FLEMING, MEYERS, POINTER, TRAINOR "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, February 22, 1904 A FREIGHTER OF EARLY DAYS. Patrick TRAINOR, a pioneer of Kansas City, who spent more than half a century here, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary BRUSSINGHAM, 2509 Summit street, early yesterday morning, of grip. He had been in feeble health for a number of years. Last Tuesday night he became suddenly ill. A heavy chill was followed with a cold. Patrick TRAINOR was born in Monaghan county, Ireland, in 1819. He was about twenty years old when he came to America. Landing in New York, he secured work as a laborer. He spent about ten years there and at Pittsburg, Pa. Then he started West. He stopped at different places to work and about five years afterwards, reached the mouth of the river Kaw. At that time there was no Kansas City. In 1848, Mr. TRAINOR began freighting from the steamboats at Westport landing. He made trips to Independence, to Pleasant Hill and to other points farther from the river. He also traded with the Indians. He lost all his savings in the gold fields of Colorado and returned to Kansas City and again began teaming. In 1870 he went to De Soto, Kas., and bought a farm. A few years later he sold out and bought some property in the southeastern part of Kansas City. This property became a portion of Penn Valley park. Mr. TRAINOR is survived by six children, two sons and four daughters. It has been a delight to him in recent years to tell his children and his grandchildren of Kansas City in its early days. He told them of making garden spots on the ground where Kansas City now stands. Of recent years Mr. TRAINOR has lived with his children. His children are: Mrs. Mary BRUSSINGHAM of 2509 Summit street, Mrs. Emma POINTER of 2315 Jefferson street, Mrs. Rose FLEMING, also of Kansas City. Mrs. Minnie MEYERS of 2013 Water street, Kansas City, Kas., John TRAINOR of 2205 Penn street, and Thomas TRAINOR of 3033 Holly street. The funeral will be held from the Sacred Heart church at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. Burial will be in Mount St. Mary's cemetery. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

GARRISON, NEVILLE "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, February 22, 1904 HAD LIVED THERE FIFTY YEARS. Dr. G. W. NEVILLE, a resident of Wyandotte county for half a century, died Saturday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Abraham GARRISON, at Bethel, eight miles west of Kansas City, Kas. He was in his eighty-second year, having been born at Lexington, Ky. on June 17, 1822. He suffered a stroke of paralysis about six weeks ago, and this, with Bright's disease and other complications due to old age, caused his death. Dr. NEVILLE came West in 1854, after having graduated from a medical school in Louisville. He lived for a time in Jackson county, Missouri, and then moved to Wyandotte county. At that time the country was in the midst of the border warfare between residents of the states of Missouri and Kansas. Dr. NEVILLE was a "free state" advocate. He was a Union man during that war, but did not join the army, remaining at home and passing through the guerrilla fighting of the period. After the war he commanded a body of 200 soldiers which routed the James YOUNGER gang in a battle fought in the Sni hills. He followed his profession as a practicing physician and served one term as county coroner. Dr. NEVILLE was also an ordained Baptist minister. His wife died about a year ago and he is survived by four daughters. Dr. NEVILLE was a typical Southern man, quick to resent an insult, and known for his bravery. He carried to his death a bullet which he received in a duel with another physician in Kentucky. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Presbyterian church at Bethel. Burial will be in the cemetery there. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)
