This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McQuitty, Smith, Gause Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Am.2ADI/250 Message Board Post: Obituary from an unidentified, undated news clipping "Died at his home in this city on last Saturday afternoon at four o'clock, J. E. McQuitty, aged fifty years. For several months he has been suffering from the effects of a cancer on his face and some time ago all hopes of his recovery were given up and he patiently waited for death to relieve him of his suffering. John E. McQuitty was born April 9, 1852, in Boone county, Mo. When quite young he came with his parents to Linn county, which has ever since been his home. His parents were well known and highly respected citizens of this county and his father was largely instrumental in building the Baptist church of this city. While not a member of any church, John's inclination was toward the Baptist faith and he was a firm believer in the Lord. "He was united in marriage, October 14, 1879, to Miss Amanda Smith and to them four children were born, Guy, Gertrude, Blanche, and Bryan, who with their widowed mother, are left to mourn the loss of husband and father. "Funeral services were held at the late residence on Sunday afternoon at four o'clock conducted by Rev. E. N. Gause and were largely attended, and the body was interred in the city cemetery. "The bereaved relative have the sympathy of the community in their great loss." (My gg uncle)

The Lawrence Daily Journal-World Douglas County Friday January ?,1942 Confirm Bad News About The Girdles. War Production Board Includes Golf and Tennis Balls in the Ban. Washington, Jan. 23, (AP), Sorry, girls, but the war production board confirmed that bad news about girdles today. After February 1, an order declared, no more crude rubber or latex may be used in manufacturing girdles or other foundation garments, golf and tennis balls, erasers, bathing suits and caps, lawn and garden hose and hundreds of other common household items. Extending already strict government control over the rubber industry, the board made public a long list of "essential" products which may be manufactured; established production quotas for each class of products, and directed that use of crude rubber for a wide variety of "essential" civilian good be reduced about 75 per cent below recent annual consumption. After February 1, the order stipulated, all products not on the list may be manufactured only from reclaimed rubber. It was this provision which torpedoed girdles. Reclaimed rubber, experts say, cannot be used satisfactorily in material which is subject to recurrent stretching. After a few stretches, it doesn't bounce back into shape. Since last December 19, when the government halted production of all non-essential goods pending a detailed study of the rubber shortage, the industry's output has been subject to general limitations. The new WPB order tells the industry exactly what it can and can't make and how much of it. Specific permission must be obtained from the board before crude rubber or latex can be used to make tires or tubes, retreading material, insulating compounds, jar rings, and other items. Further, WPB may at any time change specifications of all products on the approved list to reduce the amount of crude rubber used. Consumption of rubber on the approved list is based on average montly comsumption during the year ended March 31. Each month, for example, the industry may produce exactly the same amount of hospital and surgical supplies and infant feeding products as was produced during the comparable month in the base period. The same 100 per cent limit applies to such goods as industrial protective clothing, tire repair materials an surgical and medical equipment. Equipment for printing and publishing is cut to 80 per cent; water bottles and ice bags to 75 per cent. Only 30 per cent as much rubber footwear for workmen and athletes may be manufactured, but fire and mill hose output, necessary for civilian defense and increased industrial activity, is boosted 80 per cent. The order provides that, until further notice no one may sell trade or transfer any crude rubber or latex without permission from the WPB or the Rubber Reserve company, an RFC. subsidiary.

The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday September 17, 1897 Alonzo T. COFER last week filed in the district court a petition which sets forth incontrovertible facts why marriage as so as he is concerned, is a dismal failure. He alleges that in 1894, in the city of LaCygne, he took to his bed and board a wife whose Christian name is Henrietta; that he loved and cherished her until the month of June, 1896, when, without cause, she deserted him; that she has since associated with lewd women and profligated men, and by her vicious habits and lascivious practices has made it impossible for him to live with her and retain the respect of the community. For these reasons he wants a divorce and an order barring her from all right, title and interest in his property. His attorney is J.V. DONALDSON. --Republic Harvey NORTON was in town last Friday with a load of hay. In driving off the scales his load upset and fell on the coals which campers had recently left.
