John - Thanks for this article. I used to work with Jesse's great granddaughter at Hallmark and have always been interested in the Jesse James story. For those of you who like in the area I strongly suggest a weekend visit to the James Home out in Kearney. It is so interesting.

"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, April 4, 1882 A MOTHER'S GRIEF. Kearney, April 3. --- There is great excitement here over the reported killing of Jesse JAMES. The subject is the sole topic of conversation, and the probabilities of its truth are discussed on all sides. Some believe it and others again doubt it. These latter, however, were put to confusion some little time after the report reached us by the arrival of Mrs. SAMUELS, the mother of the boys, in town, and her departure for St. Joseph. I had only time to catch the old lady just before her departure. She seemed greatly excited and manifested not only great concern, but gave signs of much distress. She was surrounded by numerous friends at the depot, and much excitement prevailed in town when her arrival became generally known. I had some difficulty in getting to her, and when my purpose was made known, she showed no desire to talk about the affair. On insisting, she blurted out in a most vehement kind of a way: "Mrs. SAMUELS had just this to say: If "The Times" wants to interview me, it can not do it unless I am paid for it, as I will need money to bury Jesse if he is killed." Do you believe he is killed, Mrs. SAMUELS? I persisted. "Well if he is, he has been hounded to this death by your newspapers." If you don't believe he is dead, that Jesse has not been killed in St. Joe, what are you going there for? "I am a going to see, young man." How did you learn he will killed? "How did you learn, she queried," and on saying by telegraph, she jerked out: "So did I." Well, Mrs. SAMUELS -----. "Well, sir, you just can't get any talk out of me without paying for it, as I have said." But I would like to know -----? "So would I, when the train is coming," and turning to a friend she asked: "How long will it be?" I don't wish to intrude on your grief, but I would like to know ----- "I know it is your business to know, but I have got nothing to tell you." When did you see Jesse last! "I am going to see him now." Do you know the FORD boys, who are said to have killed him? "I do." After all, do you believe it is Jesse who has been killed? Before a reply could be made, some one said: "Aunt Zerel, the train is coming," at which she turned and made for the door, accompanied by quite a concourse of people for our little town. On getting on the cars, she was visibly affected, but bore up under her grief very bravely and in a determined way. John SAMUELS, a step-brother of Jesse's, who was shot some time ago, is said to be very much affected by the news of Jesse's death, and is said to be much worse in consequence. The telegraph office is crowded with people anxious to learn the particulars of the tragedy. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, January 19, 1889 ROMANCE OF THE WAR. Captain Charles REESE of Charleston, S. C., and Miss Mary Francis GRADY, each somewhat past the meridian of life, met eighteen years ago. Yesterday afternoon they met for the second time at the union depot by arrangement, and two hours later they were married. Captain REESE was a guard at Libby prison during the civil war. Miss GRADY's brother, a lieutenant in the confederate service, was REESE's messmate, and died away from his home and under his care. Ever since then, Captain REESE and Miss GRADY have constantly corresponded, meeting but once during the twenty-five years intervening. By correspondence they agreed to meet at the union depot in this city and be married. Yesterday afternoon Captain REESE strolled to and fro on the union depot platform seeking Miss GRADY in the crowd. Suddenly a rather plump but very pleasant looking woman hurried up to him and said: "Isn't this Captain REESE?" "Yes," he replied, "but who are ------ why, it's Miss GRADY, isn't it?" He had his marriage license with him and together they proceeded to the nearest justice where they were married. The couple will probably reside in the future in Clay county, where the now Mrs. REESE is the owner of an extensive farm. Captain REESE was wounded several times in the confederate service, and was on the Alabama when it was sunk off the coast of France. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Wednesday, February 15, 1905 HORSE IN AREAWAY. In moving around so as to get shelter from the cold wind, one of the horses of a delivery team for the May-Stern furniture store slipped on the icy pavement in the alley between that store and the Hotel Baltimore shortly after noon yesterday and fell into an areaway at the back of the store, the bottom of which is about twenty feet below the street. The horse's harness and a wire netting over the areaway prevented it from falling directly to the bottom, but those restraints gradually broke under the strain, and it was lowered to the bottom without assistance, and practically without injury. The next problem was to get it out, and many suggestions were made by bystanders who witnessed the animal's plight. Its rescue was accomplished by constructing an inclined plane over the steps at the north end of the areaway, on which cleats were nailed, so that the horse was let up without much difficulty when the runway was finished, late in the afternoon. ======================================================

"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Friday, April 7, 1882 SCENES AT THE GRAVE. Kearney, April 5. During the services, the women were all visibly affected. The mother moaned and groaned aloud. From the church the procession, composed of fifty or sixty persons in buggies, wagons and horseback, moved out over the country to the SAMUELS farm, which lies about four miles nearly northeast of Kearney. It is a rough road, through vales, over hills and across streams, and, in the neighborhood of the family residence, the country is heavily timbered and covered with a thick growth of "brush." Adjoining the SAMUELS farm is the farm owned by ASKEW, with whose untimely taking off the dead Jesse was charged. The "bush," as it is called, which consisted mostly of large growth trees, on the Kearney side of the farm, has within the past two years been mostly cut down. Arrived at the house, the coffin was taken into the room where the wounded son, John SAMUELS, lay in bed. It was turned on edge and he was raised up so that he could see the features of his dead brother. He wept bitterly and cried: "Oh, oh, God! Oh, Jesse, that ever I should see you brought home this way." The mother approached the bedside and assuming a dramatic position, raised her only hand aloft and said in a loud tone of voice: "Johnny, my boy, look upon your sainted brother Jesse, your murdered brother Jesse! Look upon him and then look upon your poor, broken hearted, shattered mother. He is dead --- they have killed him --- your poor brother Jesse. He is in heaven. He has gone to God, and God will judge him. He is taken from me and I have no one now to lean upon. Johnny, live for your mother, your poor, heart broken mother." Johnny made no response except to groan. The coffin was placed upon chairs in the yard and the lid opened. Mrs. SAMUELS came out sobbing: My heart is broke, my heart is broke; broke! broke! broke! Oh, my heart is broke. They have killed my sainted son. She was followed by Mrs. JAMES, who amid her sobs and with tears streaming down her checks, called on God to avenge the death of her good, kind husband, who was slain by a cowardly murderer for money. She clung to the coffin, bowing her head upon the glass, declaring that she would not let him go. Like Mrs. SAMUELS, she repeated over and over the expressions: "He has gone to God. He is in heaven. God will condemn and punish all who had a hand in murdering him for money." Raising her voice and standing erect she exclaimed: "The governor offered $50,000 to have them killed. He was killed for money, and may God punish them for it." She asked: "Why did they kill him? Why did they take him from me and my children? He would not harm them." The climax was reached when Mrs. SAMUELS, standing at one end of the coffin, looked Sheriff TIMBERLAKE in the face, and pointing her finger at him, said: "Yes, they killed him for money --- for gold and greenbacks; for money! for money! But let them take their money, their gold and their greenbacks. It will do them no good. The officers of the law have done this. They have hired murderers to do it. God will judge them for it. I have no money, I want no money. I shall not judge them. I will leave that to God. If he can forgive them, I can." Sheriff TIMBERLAKE, although surrounded by men who were known to have been intimate friends of Jesse JAMES, never flinched. "Last week," she continued, "he was at my house. He said to me when he was going away: 'Mother, you may never see me again, but I am not as bad as they would make me out to be'." This was said sobbingly. By this time several women were weeping over the coffin, and not a few male eyes were moist. Becoming calm, both Mrs. SAMUELS and Mrs. JAMES wanted the glass lid removed. At first Mrs. JAMES pretended that she wanted a lock of Jesse's hair, but it was finally developed that she had come to the conclusion that his arms and legs had been taken off and wax ones substituted for them. Sheriff TIMBERLAKE, having no screw driver large enough to turn the screws, offered to go to a farm house and borrow one, but the women were finally satisfied, and the body was committed to the grave in the yard while they stood and watched the fresh earth thrown upon the board box, seemingly inconsolable. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
