My apologies - I had a bit of a "moment" there. I found the archives right where they're supposed to be. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/KSLINN/ Thanks again, Bud Simpson - Kansas City, MO Simpson, Neighbors, Mathews, Brown

I certainly appreciate the effort required to extract and post the kinds of historical information we get on this list - I have made several connections by way of information posted here from the LaCygne Journal and other sources. Many thanks. Since I've only recently (2/5) re-subbed to the list, I may have missed much. Are there searchable archives of the list posts? Thanks, Bud Simpson - Kansas City, MO Simpson, Neighbors, Mathews, Brown

The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday March 24, 1899 Elizabeth A. Martin. Thursday evening of last week Mrs. Elizabeth A. MARTIN, wife of J.T. Martin, who resides just east of LaCygne, died at the age of forty-five years. She had been ill only a few months, but the final summons came and like the true Christian wife and mother that she was, answered "I am ready." Surrounded by her family she smiled the smile that is the exponent of a Christian as the spirit left the body, and her last words were used to tell her children of the happy meeting they would have in heaven. The deceased had resided here only a few years but to all with whom she was acquainted she was very dear. She leaves a husband and six children whose sorrow is shared by our community. Funeral services were held Saturday at 10 o'clock a.m. in the M.E. church by Rev .A. D. WOOD, and the remains were interred in the Oak Lawn cemetery.

The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday March 24, 1899 Ellen E. Seaton. Saturday evening the spirit of Mrs. Ellen E. SEATON joined the great majority on the other shore. While the deceased had been ill for a long time and it seemed as though her death could be expected, yet the sorrow it brought to our people was of the deepest. Ellen E. Seaton was born April 19, 1830, in Brenkenridge county, Kentucky. She was married to Franklyn Randolph DALTON, May 28, 1848, who died April 29, 1859. In 1869 she came to LaCygne where she lived two years and removed to Sedgwick City where she resided for four years, after which she returned to LaCygne and on May 28, 1877, she married Booker Seaton who survives her. Mrs. Seaton was a dear lady to all her acquaintances. She was possessed of a kind, generous and noble disposition always doing good unto others. During her long illness she was a patient and cheerful sufferer and when the final came she was ready and willing to go. To the husband who is left alone our people extend sympathy, fully realizing that he has parted with God's greatest gift to man--a good wife. The funeral services were held at the Seaton home on Tuesday at 10 o'clock a.m. by Rev. A.D. WOOD and the remains were laid to rest in the Oak Lawn cemetery.
