6 Feb 1892--Issue Missing 13 Feb 1892--Born on the 9th to R. P. Atkins and wife, a son. 13 Feb 1892--IN MEMORIAL--Brother Thomas Tucker, the subject of this sketch, was born in Virginia January 29th 1817. Departed this life at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. M. M. O'Linger, Jan 14, 1892. He was united in marriage to Miss Eliza Whitmire in 1840. His beloved wife, son and two daughters preceded him to the glory world a few years ago. A son and two daughters survive him besides a host of friends and relatives, all of whom mourn the loss of their generous Christian friend. Our friend was converted in the old brick, known as the old brick Chapel in Boone county Mo, in 1841, Rev. Ben Johnson pastor of said church. Bro. Tucker's church membership, at the time of his death, was at the Higbee Methodist church. Since the year 1841 Bro Tucker has been a faithful follower of Jesus. The theme of his conversations, generally speaking, would be of religion and eternal life. His delight was in discoursing about god and the sweet things and the glories of heaven. He truly enjoyed the perfect love that casteth out fear. The pious brother has many times been the recipient of the spiritual glory of God which filled his heart. These spiritual blessings can only flow or emanate from the fountain head. Christ says: "Whosoever drinks of the water I shall give him shall never thirst; but shall be in him a well of living water, springing up into everlasting life." The brother was in possession of the pure and undefiled religion. He bore his suffering with Christian fortitude and was perfectly resigned to the will of God. His place here is vacant; his pleasant conversation is ended; his lips are closed and locked by death's cold embrace. Just a day or two before his death he called each member of his family to his bed side and told each of them to meet him in heaven. He said; "I am going home to glory; tell all my friends everywhere to meet me in heaven. I can say with the apostle Paul, I have fought a good fight; I have finished the work God gave me to do; I have kept the faith, there is therefore, laid up for me a crown of righteousness. The time of my departure is at hand. Oh, my dear family and friends, meet me in heaven, that blissful abode! Oh! meet me on the golden shores of that New Jerusalem!" Is this not a grand and glowing testimony to leave behind? His work is done; his passport was signed. He has entered into the joy of his Lord, there to await the coming of his loved ones left behind. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord; Yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." Death, the great inevitable, will come to us all; therefore, let us be prepared to meet God and the loved ones who have passed on before. 13 Feb 1892--Born, on the 8th, to Lum Robb and wife, a son. 13 Feb 1892--Born, on the 8th to _____Willerby and wife, a son. 13 Feb 1892--Born in the 8th, to Wm.

Scott, of Holt Co, Mo, came down from a pleasant visit to friends and relatives near town. She was highly delighted until she fell from a horse and got a bad hurt in her hip. After suffering for three weeks the trip was added to her pain which she endured for another week, when death, the friend of the sufferer, set her free. She was 62 years old and mother of two living children. Since the death of her husband, three years ago, she has had a welcome home with her married daughter near her hold home. Her remains were laid by the side of her husband near St. Joseph, Mo. 20 Feb 1892--IN MEMORIAL--Mrs. Amanda Whitmire--The subject of this sketch was born in Kentucky in 1825, and departed this life Wednesday, January 27th, 1892, near Higbee, Mo. She united with the Baptist church at the age of 13, and was a faithful and consistent member up to the day of her death. Her testimony was, "I am ready and willing to go." She bore her suffering with Christian fortitude, and was perfectly resigned to the will of God. Our dear mother is gone. When we stood by her casket and viewed the mortal remains of our dear mother we could not help but weep and say oh! my mother, dear mother! it is hard to give thee up; if thou could speak to us once more. But alas! the lovely tone of thy sweet voice is hushed forever. She was like Saul and Johnathan of old--she was lovely and pleasant in life. She has gone home to eternal glory to be where Jesus is. Her troubles and trials on earth are ended; she has entered into the portals of heaven. Jesus says: "I am the way, the truth and the life." Now let the bereaved family take consolation and courage from the following: "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely." This is a special invitation to us to come to Christ and drink of that spiritual water. If we come to this fountain and drink we will be fit subjects for God's triumphant kingdom, and will also be qualified to meet God and the loved ones who have passed on before. 20 Feb 1892--Married, in Sturgeon, on the 14th, W.
