THOMPSON, a 16-months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Andy THOMPSON died Friday night, from teething. He was buried on Saturday in the cemetery. ---------------------- Dr. Joel HOSTETTER and Miss Annie MARQUAND, both of Chetopa, were married on the 14th, by Rev. A.P. GEORGE, at the residence of the bride’s father. After an early breakfast the happy couple started via Galesburg, for Lawrence. Much joy go with and remain with them through life. --------------------- A bold robbery occurred here early Tuesday morning. The large iron safe at the K.C.L. & S. railroad depot was blown open and some tickets and other valuables were stolen therefrom, but no money. The thief or thieves were doubtless experts, as was demonstrated by the manner in which the work was done. Our people are thoroughly aroused and are determined to put a stop to these bold robberies. A reward of $100 by the city and another $100 by the R.R. Co., is offered for the apprehension and conviction of the thieves. --------------------- Dr. BROWN is having plenty of calls at present. --------------------- Page 3 -------- Mr. LOCKE has been quite sick, being afflicted with neuralgia in the head. --------------------- A child of Joe REED’s died suddenly one day last week. A postmortem examination made by Drs. BROWN and BARKER developed the fact that cause of death was congestion of the lungs. --------------------- Our people were somewhat startled on Monday to hear that C.C. NELSON, President of the new Bank at Osage Mission, had disappeared last Saturday night, taking with him all the funds deposited in the Bank, probably $25,000. The loss was not discovered until Monday morning, when the Bank was opened as usual by the cashier, and the vaults found empty. A telegram to Kansas City, reached the Bank there just as they were paying NELSON a check for $7,500 which was due his Bank. The money was retained, and NELSON disappeared, hiring a buggy and starting southward. The NELSON Bank had been running but a few weeks, but the people seem to have had unlimited confidence in it and deposited their money freely. It seems that NELSON has done business in several cities, and left under a cloud, and that his whereabouts was not known, until last week. An officer in company with a creditor suddenly appeared on Saturday, and NELSON fixed it up by getting several citizens to go on his bond fo! r $15,000, and who claim to be secured. A number of depositors have lost heavily, and the effects of this fraud will be felt for many years. Intense excitement prevails at Osage Mission against NELSON, and no efforts will be spared to capture him. Sam. F. DENISON, his cashier, is an old resident, and highly esteemed by the citizens, and no blame is attached to him. He receives much sympathy on account of the unfortunate entanglement. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Chanute Times Chanute, Neosho County, Kansas Thursday, April 14, 1881 Page 2 A little girl of G. FRANKLIN’s near Defiance, was left alone in the house, and by some means unknown her clothes caught fire, and she was burned to death, last week. ------------------- The two-story dwelling of Mrs. BECK, in Osage Mission, caught fire presumably from a defective flue last Friday morning, and burned down. Nothing saved and no insurance. ------------------- Two brothers named McCLELLAND, sold territory to some parties at Erie for a Feather Renovator. The buyers did not seem to care about paying the notes they gave for the same, and they tried to scare McCLELLAND into giving up their notes, but he escaped, and swore out warrants for their arrest. Trial takes place today. ------------------- Las week John SHAFFER sold a horse to Frank BARNEY, went around the next day and borrowed it from Frank and took it over to a Mr. RYAN and sold it again for $40 cash, pocketed the money, and departed for parts unknown. Mr. BARNEY has commenced an action before Esq. SHARROCK to recover the horse from Mr. RYAN. – Record. ------------------- List of Letters – Remaining in the Post Office at Chanute, for the week ending April 10, 1881, and advertised on that day.

Mr. JACKSON was one of the first and foremost business men of our town, and quite successful, until about two years ago, when he removed to New York. ---------------------- A team attached to a buggy and being driven by a lady by the name of HARRIS, became frightened at the 4 o’clock train on the Southern road last Thursday, and came near making a wreck of the vehicle to which it was hitched, and but for the timely assistance of Mr. ROYSTER, L.E.

The bride has been among us for the past year, and by her gentle and winning manner has made a host of friends. The groom was one of the first settlers of the county, has always been energetic and successful in business and this last venture is only a continuance of the good luck he has always had. The bride and groom started to Indiana on a wedding trip on the afternoon train Monday. From there they will go to Colorado, and will probably not return till winter. – Harper County Times. ---------------------- List of Letters – Remaining at the Post Office at Chanute, for the week ending June 23, 1881, and advertised on that day.

HOWARD and MARKLE went fishing in the Neosho river at DITMAR’s ford and had remarkable success in capturing a huge catfish, three and a half feet long, 10 inches across at the head, 12 inches across the back, and supposed to weigh fully 40 pounds. It took quite a struggle to capture the fish. ------------------- Mr. STILLMAN, who is employed by C.H. SIMMONS, met with quite a serious accident on Saturday. He was helping put an iron pump in the well at Mr. MATER’s, and was in the well, on a ladder, also held by a rope fastened around him. The long iron pipe was in place but did not work right, and the pipe was being unscrewed when it suddenly separated, and the heavy valve and rod, weighing near forty pounds, fell from the upper part, and struck the wall and glancing from it, struck Mr. STILLMAN a little back from the top of the head, cutting the scalp for over two inches, and very nearly fractured the skull, rendering him insensible at once. The rope held him from falling in the water, and by it he was drawn out of the well. Dr. BARTL was summoned, and dressed the wound, which is healing nicely, and the patient is able to be at light work. ------------------- Died: - At Earlton, on Thursday evening, July 14th, at 9:40 p.m. of teething spasms and inflammation of the bowels, Archie FREEMAN, youngest son of H.L. and Lizzie FREEMAN, aged one year, three months and twenty-five days. - To the many friends who so kindly assisted us in the last illness of our little Archie, we herewith tender our heartfelt thanks.

He was loved by all for his gentle and winning ways. ------------------ Obituary: Died – on Wednesday, July 6th, of dropsy, Henry HERMAN, in his 39th year. He was born near Wilkesbarre, Pa., Jan. 7th, 1842. He with the rest of the family emigrated to Illinois in 1852, and settled near Kingston, Peoria Co. As a neighbor and friend, and as one of our country’s defenders, we mourn for him. But we miss not as his brother does who has shared with him the hardships of a soldier and frontier life for 20 years. Nor as his wife and little ones miss him, to whom he was ever kind and affectionate. He enlisted in Co. B, 3d Reg. Ill. Cavalry, which was organized at Pekin, Ill., Aug. 13, 1861, and was in active service three years and one month, being mustered out in Sept., 1864. While in service he lost one eye and received other injuries which entitled him to a pension, two years ago, and through the slowness of the government he did not receive his just dues, but it is hoped his claim will now be recognized. He was among the earlies! t settlers of Neosho county, having located near Chanute in the summer of 1870. He knew full well the privations and hardships it cost to settle in Southern Kansas in those days. He now rests beside his father, who was borne to his last resting place some twenty months ago. Thus one by one our friends depart; may we be ready when the Master calleth. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Chanute Times Chanute, Neosho County, Kansas Thursday, July 14, 1881 Page 2 Rev.

WALTERS and family started to take possession of their farm recently purchased in Chautauqua Co., and Mr. McKIBBON from whom he bought, will arrive here in a day or two with his family, and take possession of the WALTERS house. -------------------- >From the Crawfordsville (Ind.) Journal of June 18th, we copy the following “personal” concerning one of the late additions to our town. “J.L. FORDYCE and family have selected a home at Chanute, Neosho county, Kansas. The family left for that place on Wednesday and Mr. FORDYCE goes on next Monday. They take with them the esteem of every one here.” -------------------- A few days ago we were shown by J.W. COLE some articles styled “Useful Household Articles,” which are very deserving of that name. The Centennial Cake Pan is certainly the most convenient thing of the kind we have ever seen, and being made of good material, and locked together (no soldering) it will last a life time. The Peerless Sifter is a marvel of neatness and convenience. It is a combination of several utensils in one, and for sifted flour and meal it cannot be beat. The Universal Weight and Measure Cup and Half Minute Egg Beater combined, is another most useful article, and we should think almost indispensable to every well regulated kitchen. We think every housekeeper will be pleased with all these articles, and they are sold cheap. They are manufactured by L.E. BROWN, & Co., of Cincinnati, and J.W. COLE is sole agent for this county. Mr. COLE is well and favorably known in this vicinity, being one of our old settlers, he having located his pres! ent home thirteen years ago. He having done a great deal of hard work now finds his physical strength failing, and he has been looking around for some honorable employment whereby he might have a little respite from the hard labors of the farm. He has been offered several agencies, but he resolved to have nothing to do with anything but what he knew would be useful and give satisfaction, he is now satisfied that he has them. As we have been intimately acquainted with Mr. COLE for ten years we can recommend him to the people of this (or any other) county as a man they can rely upon, and one who will not knowingly misrepresent anything, and we think the manufacturers are very fortunate in having secured him as an agent. --------------------- Wm. HAINES, of Chanute, is having a small frame house moved from his farm on his lots near town, and intends to use it as a barn. --------------------- The place just north of Mr. SHAW’s one mile west of Chanute, was recently purchased by Mr. HAMMOND who intends erecting a dwelling soon. --------------------- Died: - In this place, on the morning of June 30th, 1881, Grace HARDING, daughter of T.T. and M.E. HARDING, of congestion of the brain, aged 2 years and 7 months. In life’s early morning this loved child was taken from affectionate parents, to dwell in the mansions of light. The sympathies of many are extended in their hour of bereavement. -------------------- List of Letters – Remaining at the Post Office at Chanute, for the week ending July 7, 1881, and advertised on that day.

BEATTY, P.M. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Chanute Times Chanute, Neosho County, Kansas Thursday, September 1, 1881 Page 2 Death of Rev. D.P. MITCHELL – This eminent man in Kansas affairs died on the cars, near Newton, on the Santa Fe road, of heart disease, on the morning of August 25th. He had been to Colorado to recuperate his health, his wife accompanying him, and was on his return. He stopped the day previous at Hutchinson, to visit friends, leaving them in fair health and spirits. He was conversing at intervals with acquaintances on the cars, when he was noticed to suddenly throw his head backward, and expired. D.P. MITCHELL was a native of West Virginia, entered the ministry of the M.E. church in the Pittsburg conference in 1844, was transferred to Kansas in 1863, and has served the leading charges in the State, and three or four terms as Presiding Elder of different districts. He was delegate to the General Conference in 1860, 1870 and 1880. During over forty years of ministerial work, he has but once failed to be present at the annual roll call, - that was in 1878, when si! ck with typhoid fever. During the latter years of his life he devoted most of his time and talents to political labors. He became impressed with the idea that capital was becoming too powerful, and oppressive of the laboring classes, and assumed the championship of the poorer classes. He became the Greenback candidate for Governor in 1878, and for Congress in the Third District in 1880. There has been no more able advocate of this subject than Elder MITCHELL, and by his death, the Greenback party in this State loses its most able champion, one who cannot be replaced. During his ministry, he was acknowledged the strongest advocate of Methodist doctrines the church had in Kansas. His sermons were logical, argumentative, strong and clear; all could understand the weighty subjects which he presented so vividly, in sermons of from one hour to one and a half hours long.

A brother arrived but a few hours after his death, and took charge of the body, it being taken on the east bound train yesterday for interment at Vincennes, Ind., his former home. Mr. GRAETER came to this place early last December, being in employ of the McCormick Implement Co., for whom he was a trusted agent. He desired some change of occupation, and engaged with S.

Young Mr. SHELDON was the first to reach the house, but the fire had such great headway that he could only get out a sewing machine and a table. A large number of neighbors speedily assembled, and their efforts saved an adjoining building from destruction. The house was built of logs, and with its contents, was a total loss. Mr. HARRISON, who occupied a part of the house, lost a quantity of household goods. The origin of the fire is not known. > -------------------------- > Died - In this place, Feb. 1st, Mrs. Sarah A. WICKARD, wife of D.K. WICKARD, aged 42 years, 9 months. Many friends join in their heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved husband, who is left to mourn the loss of a faithful and devoted wife. The deceased had been a great sufferer from disease for several months past, which was borne with Christian resignation, but her life at its last hours was made joyous with the sure consciousness of the Divine Presence, and knowledge that because her Redeemer liveth, she should also live with Him forever. A faithful member of the M.E. church, for several years she strove to live according to its principles and teachings, and died in full belief and appreciation of its doctrines. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- > > The Chanute Times > January 27, 1881 > Chanute, Neosho, Kansas United States > Page 3 > > Mrs. J.J.

Little Emma's suffering was not of long duration, but very intense. She was the youngest daughter of Mr. HARTMAN who lives about four miles south of Chanute. She was a member of the Turkey Creek school, and although she had never attended school before she, received as high honors as any scholars attained. The school followed her to the grave, and feel sorry that so loveable one is gone.
