The Russellville Rustler Friday, August 16, 1907 Uncle John Amos, one of the oldest and best known residents of Russellville died at his home in the city last Saturday morning at 7:00 of heart failure. For a long time Mr. Amos had been affected with his heart but was thought to be improving and on the morning of his death had remarked to Dr. C.S. Glover, who happened to be passing by, that he felt better that morning than usual. He had just payed Dr. Glover for some medicine he purchased from him the day before and upon entering his home and turning around to a side door for something, dropped dead. Mr. Amos was about 67 years of age and had been a resident of this place the greater part of his life. He was a consistent member of the Baptist Church, a member of the Masonic lodge here and a man whose friendship was esteemed by all who knew him. Besides a host of friends and relatives, Mr. Amos leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his untimely demise. They are Mrs. Mary C. Amos, Misses Anna and Absiliah Amos, Mrs. Jennie Howard, Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Amos, Mrs. Surildia Stieferman, of Jefferson City, and W.D. and J.M. Amos of this place. Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church by Rev. T.R. White of California, after which the remains were laid to rest by the Masonic Lodge in the Campbell Cemetery, two miles south of Russellville. The Rustler joins the many friends of Mr. Amos in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
