GRAETER, whose sickness we chronicled last week, died on Tuesday morning, Feb. 8th, being about 40 years of age. He had no relatives in this vicinity, but every service that medical skill and friendly care could do for him, was done, but without avail. It was barely one week from the time he was walking our streets in usual good health, until death took place. 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. WINFIELD, who found him a man of rare business abilities, an active worker, as well as trusty friend. His genial demeanor speedily made him many friends among our people, who mourn his sudden death. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- > > The Chanute Times > February 03, 1881 > Chanute, Neosho, Kansas United States > Page 3 > > Mrs. COLE died on Monday night last. > -------------------------- > A little son of Mr. ROMINE, on Big Creek, had his leg broke by some accident, on yesterday. > -------------------------- > Mrs. Lena SNODGRASS, a daughter of Mr. Jas.

The occupants left the house at about one o'clock p.m., and at 4 o'clock fire was seen issuing from it near one corner. 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.

He who during his sojourn on the earth went about doing good, restoring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, cleansing lepers and raising the dead, said: 'Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven,' saw fit to call home one loved by all. 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. Her character was pure and good, and as I was her teacher, I cannot refrain from weeping over her death, although I know she is asleep in Jesus. While we tender to her bereaved relatives and friends our heart-felt sy! > mpathy, let us realize that "Many are the friends who are waiting to-day, Happy on the golden strand; Many are the voices calling us away, To join the glorious band. Calling us away, calling us away, calling to the better land." A.M.B. > ------------------- > > We learn that our old neighbor and friend Mat. REEVES, of Colfax, Wilson County, was married to Miss Mary THURMAN, of Allen county, on Wednesday of Jan. 19th. Also on Thursday, Jan. 20th, at the residence of the bride's parents, by Justice STEVENS, Mr. Wesley BOWERS and Miss Nancy ALLISON, all of Bunker Hill, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. This is what we have long been looking for, and now we extend to the happy couple our congratulations and wish them a pleasant journey through life, and may their paths ever be strewn with bright flowers.
