    2. John O'Brien
    3. "The Kansas City Journal of Commerce" (Missouri) Tuesday, September 4, 1877 WYANDOTT, ARMSTRONG AND KANSAS CITY, KAN. Judge E. B. SHARP and wife returned Sunday. Mr. BARTELS of Quindaro, is not expected to live. M. M. STOVER is getting much better, and will soon be out. Rev. ARMSTRONG has settled at 910 East Eight street, Kansas City The Rosedale mills are turning out rails now, and have a considerable stock of iron on hand. The Armstrong quarterly meeting of the Baptist church will be held at Kansas City, Kan., on Sept. 27th. "The Journal" of Sunday made Mrs. ALT a dealer in hosiery, when it should have been honey. Not much difference. The mills at Rosedale do not run more than fifteen days in the month, for want of iron, and the scarcity of iron is due to the poverty of the railroads. Judge CHURCHILL united in matrimony Sunday morning Mr. S. S. KEEFER and Mrs. Elizabeth CLAPERSON. This is the third commitment for each of them. Mr. James POST, a much respected citizen of our city, breathed his last Sunday evening. His funeral will take place from his residence this morning at half past ten. The little child of Mr. Samuel DAY of Kansas City, Kan., was buried yesterday. A very large and select assembly escorted the remains to its final resting place. Col. W. H. KNAPP returned from the East Sunday morning in good health, and with a large stock of goods just following him. The road-overseer in this state is putting the Kansas City and Rosedale road in good order. Why can't the Missouri side fix up? Mr. C. T. SHARP, of Marak, Brown county, Kas., was in town yesterday looking for a 16½-hand, five-year old roan horse that was stolen from him several days ago. Twenty dollars reward. Mrs. HOGAN, became slightly intoxicated yesterday and raised a commotion at the post-office, but was finally quieted by Marshall COLLINS taking her off to the cooler. Our fellow townsman, Mr. G. W. BISHOP has returned. Got back Sunday, and has purchased a large stock of dry-goods. Mayor MATHIAS of Rosedale don't appear to be at all puffed up with pride because he has the honor of being the first mayor of the new city. On the contrary, quite the reverse. The road-overseer, for the district in which the bridges across Turkey creek on the road to Rosedale are situated, could find employment in mending the approaches to said bridges. This is in Jackson county. A hack was said to have been badly smashed Sunday evening near the Missouri Pacific round house, and two or three of the occupants considerably hurt, caused by a runaway team. Whose hack it was or who was hurt our reporter could not learn. John HANNA, son of T. K. HANNA, while out riding yesterday, had his saddle-girth break while he was going like the wind, and was thrown to the earth violently, but fortunately sustained no injury. This was on the road to Rosedale. All the schools of our city opened yesterday with full corps of teachers and rooms full of children. The sight of the youngsters gathered within the walls of our public schools is very gratifying to all lovers of free schools, the palladium of our country's liberty. Mayor TEED, of Kansas City, Kan., desires to give notice to all persons creating nuisance, or establishing any business contrary to the general statutes of the state, or who violates any of the ordinance of said city, will be promptly arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. A post mortem examination was held yesterday on the body of Mr. POST. The medical men engaged in the examination found that three ribs had been broken and united again, and also found his large intestines very much ulcerated and inflamed. They have not yet made their report as to the cause of his death. Rev. W. ARMSTRONG, late of this place, now of Kansas City, on Sunday last, preached the funeral sermon of Rev. Charles BUGBEE, who died at Mr. NEIDDLELOUS, south of Kansas City, and was buried Friday night. Mr. B. was aged 77 years, and had been a minister of the gospel for over fifty years. He was connected for all that time with the M. E. church. A just man, an honored citizen, a consistent Christian, he has well earned a life of immortal bliss. Mr. George H. KING, who runs the glue factory in Kansas City, Kan., was hauled up before Judge DENHAM yesterday, charged with creating and maintaining a nuisance, and fined $5.00 and costs. Now, many persons have passed that same house, and that too quite recently, and failed to detect a very bad odor emanating from the premises. Gentlemen of Kansas City, Kas., don't kill the goose that lays the golden egg for your city. Don't drive all manufactures from your midst or you will regret it. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
