George B. Kelly, Moberly, Mo--Potter and Roberts were murdered yesterday at camp. Parties unknown. IRA MABBITT. Mr. Potter is well known in this city, having for a number of years been employed on the Monitor. He has been postmaster at Monitor, Ariz, a mining camp for three years. "Bob" Roberts was an elderly man, and a native of New York State. He had been at the camp a little over a year, and he and Potter were left in charge of the machinery and property. Neither of them had an enemy that was known of. Both were well liked and always kept an open house for all who called for food or shelter. As to how the murder occurred we cannot state at this writing as all we know is in the above dispatch. The deed must have been committed by tramps or strangers thinking there was money about the premises. The sad news was received with deep sorrow by the proprietors and every attaché of the Monitor--Moberly Monitor. 30 Sep 1893--OBITUARY--A beautiful life is ended. At the home of her father, Jas. Cleeton, on Sept 8, 1893, surrounded by relatives and friends, the pure spirit of Florence McDowell went home. A sorrowing husband, father, mother, brother and a little cousin, with many relatives and friends, feel the loss that has befallen us. She became a member of the Christian church at the age of 15 years and lived an exemplary Christian life until death. She was married to our esteemed young friend Elmer E. McDowell, on the 19th day of January, 1893. Those that were nearest and dearest knew that her life would be short, as an inherent lung trouble was developing, but we little thought she would succumb to the dread disease so soon at the age of 19 years and ten days. Here was an amiable disposition, always pure in character and conduct; to know her was to love her. She bore her sickness cheerfully, though she would often say, "I do so want to live for Elmer! "Tis sad, indeed, that their union of pure love must so soon have ended. May her memory be as a beacon light to guide husband, brother and little cousin home. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Anderson. The large attendance showed with what esteem she was held with neighbors and friends. 30 Sep 1893--W. W. Ware recently of this place but now of Moberly, and Miss Martha E. Adkins of near Glasgow, were married at the residence of Judge Betts in Fayette Tuesday. Kathy Bowlin, Additions, corrections, comments welcome.
