Surnames: LOWE, JOHNSON Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zMB.2ACI/890 Message Board Post: Iron County Register Newspaper, Ironton, Missouri, March 9, 1882, Page 5. Died--Near Harviell, Mo., on Saturday, Feb. 18, 1882, WM. Y. LOWE, aged 21 years and two days. The circumstances attending the death of the above were peculiarly sad. He had been working as a section hand on the railroad between Harviell and Poplar Bluff. When high water made the track insecure, men were detailed to watch the dangerous places and he had taken his regular turn Thursday night. He worked all next day as usual and Friday evening volunteered to go out again on guard duty. For fear that sleep might overcome the overtaxed men, two were stationed at each post. One Chas. Johnson was placed with Lowe, and they walked about and were alright until after the sole remaining train (No. 2) was due--10:30 o'clock. Then they sat down on the ties--all else was covered with water--to talk away the--as they supposed--few unexpired minutes of their watch. But No. 2 was six hours behind them, and long before it came both men had given away to tired nature and were fast asleep. It is supposed--for just how it occurred is not known--that Lowe fell backward across the ! track, while Johnson fell outward and so escaped. Lowe's head was severed from his body, and the latter was carried some ninety feet before released from the murderous wheels of the locomotive. The remains were taken to Harviell, and J. E. Lowe, Esq., father of the deceased, telegraphed for. He went down and took charge of the body, which was interred at Belleview on Sunday.

MRS. ELIZABETH MYERS died at the residence of her son in Ironton, on the 2nd instant, in the 76th year of her age. She was born in Adams county, Pennsylvania, June 12th, 1806. As the meekened face and calmly folded hands of this aged mother passed out of sight for a time, what a host of thoughts crowded around her open grave. Between the hour when the nurse bound the swaddling band on the child and that in which the hand of affection wiped the damps of death from the brow of the dying, what changes have occurred! Cities and nations have perished. Great cities and nations have sprung up. Steam, electricity, and iron have turned the world upside down and the weary eyes have watched it all, and tired of looking have fallen asleep far from the place where they first saw the light.

To take the young and leave the old behind; The young are taken from the [unable to read next two words], Which heats (beats?) upon the old, and them removes at last." T.C.

KILLED BY LIGHTENING--During the storm of Monday evening, a flash of lightening entered the Catholic Church at Iron Mountain, instantly killing Miss BRIDGET QUIGLEY, an accomplished and highly esteemed young lady. We have not been able to get any further particulars of the deplorable event. Miss Quigley graduated from one of the best schools in St. Louis about two years ago, with great honor, and since that time has been teaching the parochial school at Iron Mountain. Her death is a most sorrowful occurrence, and shocks not only the citizens of that town, but of this Valley as well; for she had many admiring friends among our people.
