McCracken Article Text: The funeral of the Ex-Mayor of Newport, Robert B. McCracken, took place yesterday afternoon, and the numerous retinue of sorrowing friends who followed his mortal remains to their last earthly resting place, attested his great worth while living. Mr. McCracken was for many years a resident of Newport, a man of sterling worth, and had filled with marked ability and credit many important positions of public trust. Beneath an austere surface beat a noble, manly heart. His many generous and kindly qualities endeared him to all who knew him intimately, and the loss to his family will prove an irreparable one. We extend to them our heartfelt sympathies. Mr. McCracken was an honored member of several benevolent societies, who turned out in large numbers to tender their last tokens of respect to a departed brother. The funeral cortege was, perhaps, the largest ever seen in Newport. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ KY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Riggs, and five children, three boys and two girls. His wife departed this life about four years since. Mr. Riggs was for years the most prominent butcher of this vicinity, and at one time was considered very wealthy. During his later years he has been engaged in stock brokerage, and was for ten years the agent of the Kentucky Railroad. The funeral services are set for Friday afternoon, and the remains will be interred in Linden Grove. The deceased was a man of great presence of mind and coolness and instances of his daring and pluck are related by companions of his younger days with pride.

Article Text: Lawrenceburg, Ky., May 19.--While riding a "sore mouth" horse over his farm this morning County Judge James I. FELIX met with a serious accident. Jerking on the bridle reins caused the animal to rear and fall back on the Judge, breaking one of his pelvic bones, badly bruising the hip joint and perhaps hurting him internally. He lay for half an hour before any one found him. Drs. G. W. KAVANAUGH and G. D. LILLARD were summoned and did all possible to relieve his suffering.
