Funeral services by Rev. Bell at her home. "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."--I Cor 15-22. She was baptized in infancy by Rev. Shuman. It seems that she was unfortunate during life. She fell in a well at Higbee at the age of 10 was rescued by Mrs. Ed. Murphy. It seems that she was warned of her death some time ago, for she told her parents that something would befall her that she could not bear, but thanks to the Lord she bore it with patience. She was 19 years, 3 months and 15 days old. She was of a bright and happy disposition, tender hearted and sympathetic and was a favorite with all her relatives and friends, and is greatly missed in the home of her parents. Yet they take comfort in the belief that she is safe in that better land with her Savior. Father, mother, brother, sisters, weep no more for your Berintha, but prepare to meet her, for she is on yonder shore waiting for you. The death angel hovered around her pillow Thursday eve and she faded away as a bright flower of summer. But now she is where no death comes, to walk the gold paved streets and play the harp of gold. 3 Dec 1892--Gayhard Alberts, aged 70 years, was run over by a switch engine at Moberly Monday evening and killed. 10 Dec 1892--KILLED BY THE CARS--Mr. W.

Buckler who lives a few miles southeast of town met with a peculiar accident Friday of last week. Mr. Buckler took his dogs and gun and went fox hunting. He was not out long until the dogs started a fox, and the last thing he remembers was that he took a seat on a log with the intention of shooting the fox should it pass in reach of him. Several hours later he was found wandering around aimlessly in the woods with his head covered with blood, and upon examination it was found that he had received a blow on the back of the head with some sharp instrument which laid the scalp bare to the bone. The parties who found him took the back track which they followed by the blood, and soon came to the log where Mr. B. had received his injuries. Near the log was a large pool of blood and the leaves for several feet from the log were covered with blood, and many other evidences went to show that he must have remained unconscious for several hours. It is thought that some one must have slipped up behind him and dealt the bow while he was watching for the fox. As no trace of the gun can be found it looks as though some one must have knocked him in the head in order to procure his gun. Mr. Buckler is reported as being in a critical condition. 24 Dec 1892--J. W. Thomas, and Lidia, little daughter of J. D.
