The Argentine Advocate Tuesday February 14, 1888 Died.--At her home near this city, at about 4 o'clock on Friday evening last Feb. 3rd, 1888, Mrs. Mary E. PAYNE, mother of Thomas J. Payne, aged 63 years. In the death of Mrs. Payne, Wyandotte county loses one of its oldest and most highly respected inhaitants. The deceased came to this place with her husband, Stephen J. Payne, in the year 1855, and has continously resided here up to the time of her death. Mr. Payne, her husband, having been killed by guerrillas in 1863, the widow remained single and raised a large family, who have grown into useful manhood and womanhood under her kindly Christian influence. Her personal history, if written, would show marked characteristics of self-denial for her children, Christian fortitude under affliction, and an even, well balanced Christian life, replete with good works. Though dead, she lives in the hearts of her children, and is a sweet memory of hundreds of the oldest and best citizens in this section. She was buried on Sunday last, Feb. 5th, funeral services being conducted by Rev. Frank Streeter, of this city.

John et al, The story about Vina CUSICK reminded me that our Montezuma County CO historical society has an original photo of one of the cars, taken by a photographer named RICH in Armourdale, undated. I will scan it in and email to anyone who would like a copy. The photo is from a yet to be accessioned collection from the family of Dennis D. PURCELL, of Independence MO, who married Myrtle GILLEN (of Odessa, Lafayette Co MO) in Jackson County MO in 1896. She was "probably" the daughter of Vincent GILLEN, a stonecutter at Marsh Stone & Construction Company, 503 W. 23rd in the KCMO City Directories, 1889-91 at Ancestry.com. Dennis and Myrtle made their way to Cortez, Montezuma County CO by 1910. D. D. PURCELL's occupations varied from farmer to stonecutter to proprietor of a confectionery and ice cream parlor. "Mom & Pop" Purcell are still remembered fondly by the older members of our community. I don't know what connection they had, if any, with the Metropolitan Street Ry.

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, November 14, 1895 Vina CUSICK was given judgment in the Circuit court yesterday against the Metropolitan Street Railway company in the sum of $5,000 for personal injuries sustained May 24 last by being pushed from an elevated car by the conductor. The suit was for $10,000. The case involved a bitter legal battle, and the only defense offered by the company was that the L road is not a part of the Metropolitan system. Transfer checks were introduced in evidence, however, showing that the elevated system was operated by the Metropolitan system at the time Miss CUSICK received her injuries. ====================================================== (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 Star" (Missouri) Sunday, April 11, 1915 SPEED SAVED RUNAWAY VICTIM. The promptness with which Dr. Fred N. PUGSLEY rushed her to a hospital probably saved the life of Mrs. Vincenta LONZA, 310 Charlotte Street, who with her husband and a 1-year-old child were injured in a runaway along Independence Avenue yesterday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. LONZA were returning from the East Side Hospital, where they had been to visit a friend who was ill. The horse became frightened at some object along the roadside as it neared Olive Street, and dashed wildly west along the avenue. A motor car pursuit of the flying vehicle took place, with Dr. PUGSLEY's car in the lead. The horse suddenly turned south at Woodland Avenue, the buggy tipped over and its three occupants were thrown to the pavement. Mrs. LONZA held her small son, Mariano, tightly in her arms and saved him from injury. Doctor PUGSLEY applied emergency treatment to the injured woman and rushed her to the General Hospital. There examination showed that she had suffered severe wounds about the face, head and body. At first it was believed her skull had been fractured. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Friday, November 30, 1894 A CHICKEN THIEF'S QUEER LUCK. Mike LOGAN, rushed madly into Police Surgeon LUTZ's office at daylight yesterday morning with a wound in the calf of his left leg and two chickens in each hand. He explained that he had stolen the fowls, and that he had been bitten by a dog while making his escape. Dr. LUTZ attended the man's injuries, which were rather severe. The man was unable to pay the surgeon's fee, but left the chickens as a guarantee that he would soon return with the money. He never came back, and now Dr. LUTZ wants to know what to do with the birds. LOGAN refused to state where he had committed the theft. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"Independence Sentinel" (Missouri) Saturday, March 18, 1899 J. F. STONESTREET DEAD. Major Jacob F. STONESTREET, one of the oldest residents of Jackson county, and one of the men who followed Gen. Jo Shelby during the civil war, died at his home, 1219 Oak street, Kansas City, yesterday morning. His death was due to heart failure. The deceased has been ailing for the past six months. Jacob F. STONESTREET was born in Lexington, Ky., in 1823. His boyhood was spent on a farm. He received a common school education and later graduated from Center college, Danville, Ky. Soon after attaining his majority he married Miss Emma McCLANAHAN, of Richmond, Ky. She died in this city six years ago. In 1850, when the people in the eastern states were beginning to look toward the great west, Mr. STONESTREET left his Kentucky home, and with his wife, removed to Missouri. The trip here was made by water. A little steamer was chartered and the voyage was made in safety. Mr. STONESTREET settled near Independence on a farm of about 800 acres. He erected a fine country residence which he lived in until it was burned during the war. When the civil war began Jacob STONESTREET was one of the first to volunteer his aid to the confederacy. He was given the appointment of quartermaster of General Jo Shelby's brigade. He was never out of the army for even a single day. In all of the battles at which he was present he never received a wound. When the war ended the deceased, having lost his farm, went to Kansas City, where he became a school teacher. He was for a number of years at the head of the schools in Westport. He was the father of four children, Henry M. STONESTREET, circuit clerk; M. W. STONESTREET, Mrs. C. C. BYERS and Mrs. George K. LUCAS. The funeral will be held from the late home of the deceased Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services will be conducted by the Rev. J. S. VAN METER, pastor of the Episcopal church at Clinton, Mo. Interment will be made in Elmwood cemetery. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
