She was the daughter of Rev. Jessie Terrill and his wife, Mrs. Abagail Terrill, and at the time of her death had attained the age of 54 years, 11 months and 2 days. Besides her bereaved husband she leaves five sons and one daughter, all now of mature years, also three sisters and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her departure. She professed religion at the early age of 16 years, and at the time of her death deceased was a devoted and consistent member of the Pleasant Grove Baptist church. During her long illness in which at times she suffered much, she was never heard to complain at the providences of God. She was of a quiet and retiring disposition, loving and tender in all her domestic and social relations, always considerate of the feelings and welfare of others, industrious and frugal in her home and zealous in the cause of religion. The grace and love of God which sustained her in many trials and sorrows of her earthly life did not forsake her in her last hours. She died in the triumphs of the Christian's hope of eternal life. The funeral services were held on Tuesday, May 10, at the family residence, after which the interment took place at the family cemetery. The bereaved may be assured of the heartfelt sympathy of neighbors and friends--J. S.

Train 76, drawn by engine 158, Andy Kinney engineer and W. F. Finnister, Fireman, was ordered on the south "Y" by conductor Marquette, to await the arrival of a stock train on the M, K & T. At the same time a freight on the M K & T went in at the other end of the "Y" and by some means the trains were coupled together. While waiting Finnister went under his engine to clean the ash pan, when the M K & T moved up taking the C & A with it. In attempting to get out from under the engine Finnister was caught just above the knees by the front drive wheel and had both legs crushed to a jelly. He was taken from the engine to the Randolph Hotel where arrangements were made by our local surgeons to remove the injured limbs, but before they were able to begin operations they received a telegram from the officials to await the arrival from Mexico of Dr. Rhodes, the company's surgeon, who arrived at 10:05--five hours after the accident. The poor fellow only lived a few minutes after he was from under the hands of the surgeons. His parents came down from Slater and arrived in time to see him breath his last. The K. of P. lodge at this place of which order deceased was a member, did all in its power for him. The remains were taken to Slater Monday morning for interment. 28 May 1892--Born on the 21st, to Joe Hardwick and wife, a son. 28 May 1892--IN LOVING MEMORY--Of little Rowland, beloved and only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Botts, who died in Higbee of brain fever on the 18th after a lingering illness. We had watched and waited at his bedside for many long days and nights; we hoped and prayed that death might stay his hand and leave him with us, when he raised his hand and pointed heavenward time after time smiling and wanting to go. Ah! we knew he was only loaned us for a little while. Dear little Rowland! He was a bright boy the joy of the home. He will be missed! Many Christian hearts beat in tender sympathy with the bereaved parents and sisters, but their consolation is in the assurance that the Father hath done it, and their little one hath joined the white robed throng to suffer and die no more and that we will meet him again some sweet day bye and bye.
