(These people are from St. Louis; however, I thought you would like this article.) "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, January 2, 1913 THEY WED WITH NEW VOWS. St. Louis, Jan. 1. -- Every day is to be a New Year's day in the calendar of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph ALTMAN, who were married yesterday morning just as the bells throughout the city were chiming forth their greeting to a new year. Miss Sadie LASKER, daughter of Rabbi M. L. LASKER, and Joseph ALTMAN of Pine Bluff, Ark., chose that hour for the beginning of their married life and incidentally they formulated a set of New Year's resolutions which are designed to make their life a perpetual joy. The agreement of the young couple never may be set aside by either on the ground of failure of consideration, as the New Year's obligations they assumed in addition to the marriage contract are based on mutual promises. The bride resolves: I will never nag my husband. I shall try to make myself useful to him in every way. I shall never meddle in his business affairs. The husband resolves: I shall not talk to my wife when I am angry. She shall have her own bank account. She shall run the house; I my business. I shall not concern myself with her political beliefs. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

Tony DETURO, 42 years old, who furnished milk to the foreign colony in East Armourdale, was killed in an accident last night on the eve of a journey to his boyhood home in Italy. DETURO was driving across Kansas Avenue at Third Street with his empty milk cans shortly before 9 o'clock when an eastbound street car struck the wagon. He was thrown under the car. Death was instantaneous. The body was taken to the Daniels Brothers undertaking rooms. DETURO came to Kansas City ten years ago with his family. He worked on railroads until he saved enough money three years ago to go into the dairy business. He lived at 417 South Fourth Street. He leaves a widow and four children. "We had been planning for so many years to go back to Italy," the widow said last night. "We expected to start this week and Tony had saved and saved until we could all go." The accident caused general sorrow in little Greece and crowds gathered on the street corners to talk about it. Several of the coffee houses put up their shutters early as a sign of mourning. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo8 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Friday, August 9, 1912 A PONY HELPS TO SAVE FOUR. Billikin, a spotted pony, saved four persons from severe injury last night when a street car struck the buggy in which Mrs. J. L. ARMSTRONG, 2908 North Tenth Street, owner of the pony, and three little girls were riding. All the occupants of the buggy were bruised and suffered other minor injuries. The pony, instead of running away and dragging them in the wreckage, quietly stopped and permitted the car crew to extricate the woman and girls. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

When Peter HOWGARD entered his home at 951 Euclid Avenue, Kansas City, Kas., last night, his supper sat on the table as usual. Mr. HOWGARD and his mother, Mrs. Johannah HOWGARD, 85 years old, lived together in the little cottage. She kept house for him and her grandson, Neal TUFT. The mother usually was beside the supper table waiting for the son when he came in from work, but last night she was not in her accustomed place. Mr. HOWGARD noticed the cellar door a little ajar. He lighted a match and looked down. By the dim light of the match he could see something white below. He called, but received no reply. Then he slowly descended the stairs. His mother lay dead at the foot of the flight of steps. She had been preparing supper when the grandson left at 5 o'clock. The son supposes that she stepped into the dark cellar doorway and fell down the steps. Death was caused by a fracture at the base of the skull. Peter PETERSON, another grandson, lives at 265 Mill Street, Kansas City, Kas. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo8 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, February 26, 1912 HE DODGED A DIVORCE CASE. The plan of Mrs. William B. REEVES of Twenty-ninth Street and White Avenue to expedite her divorce proceedings failed. It was necessary that notice of the suit be served on her husband by midnight Saturday night to have the case heard at this term of court. He was due to arrive in Kansas City a few minutes before midnight on a Missouri, Kansas & Texan train from out in Kansas. Edward J. McDONNELL, deputy sheriff, and a private detective were sent to Paola to board the train and serve the papers the minute it crossed into Missouri. To start their troubles, they had much difficulty boarding the train. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas trains use the Frisco tracks from Paola to Kansas City and take on no passengers. Finally, by telling the trainmen their purpose, they succeeded. Soon they spotted a man they believed to be REEVES. To make sure, they had the brakeman sit down and talk to him. The brakeman's questions aroused the man's suspicions. When the train stopped at Merriam, Kas., he dropped off, leaving his baggage. McDONNELL and the detective rode on into Kansas City with the papers snug in their pockets. The laugh was mutual, however. The train was an hour late and they could not have served the notice in time anyway. The case will now go over to the fall court term. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, December 9, 1911 DEATHS IN KANSAS CITY. Death came the day after the birthday anniversary of Marie Louise CHARTIER, the 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. CHARTIER, at the home, 2021 Kensington Avenue, at 8:15 o'clock yesterday morning. She was a student at the Ashland School until two weeks ago, when she was forced to withdraw on account of diphtheria. On Friday, before she became seriously ill, she knew that her throat was in a bad condition. On the following Monday she was to try for what is called a "head mark," which is awarded to the pupil making the best mark in spelling. She did everything possible to be able to enter the contest, but when Monday came she was in bed with diphtheria. The children at the school missed her. She played the piano for them to march, and they weren't accustomed to the substitute. When death came, the parents received a letter from Miss Gertrude EDMONDSON, principal of the school, who was also a teacher to both the parents of the girl, in which she said that the pupils of the school had asked her to write and ask to send flowers. Besides the parents, one sister, Bessie, and three brothers, Edward, John and Joseph CHARTIER, survive. Funeral services will be held at the home at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Burial will be in Mount St. Mary's Cemetery. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
