"The Kansas City Star" (Missouri) Tuesday, August 29, 1911 DRIVER LEFT AN INJURED BABY. Mary MACOSA, 15-month-old daughter of Joseph MACOSA of 539 Charlotte Street, rolled off the curbing in front of her home, where she had been playing, and fell in the street, at 10 o'clock this morning. As she did so a wagon struck her. The driver, it is said, then struck his horse with a whip and drove away, but Mabel BRADLEY of 801 Pacific Street, a witness to the accident, recognized him. The police are looking for him. The little girl's head was bruised and her right ear almost torn off where the wheels of the wagon had passed over her. She was taken to the office of Dr. Benedetto Tripi RAO, 707 East Fifth Street, given emergency treatment and sent home. ====================================================== (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 Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, April 25, 1899 SHE PLEADED FOR HER LORD. After having her husband arrested and convicted in police court yesterday morning for theft and failure to support her, Mrs. Herman WILKE then turned to Judge BURNHAM and pleaded with him not to sentence her husband to the work- house as the judge threatened to do. The little wife stood before Judge BURNHAM, with her baby in her arms, and told how her husband abused and neglected her. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she told the story, and she broke completely down before she was half through. Her father and mother both appeared and told how their daughter was mistreated and how they had WILKE arrested Sunday night for disorderly conduct. WILKE and his wife were married just after the great St. Louis cyclone. They met for the first time the night of the cyclone and the romantic manner of their meeting led to a speedy marriage. Her home was wrecked by the great storm and she was caught and held fast by some fallen timbers. He rescued her and thus began a story which rounded up in police court yesterday with all the romance knocked out of it. "Shall I send him to the workhouse a year?" the judge asked. "O, no; please don't, judge," the little woman pleaded. "I could do it with good grace, because I believe he is a wretch." "He'll do better, judge; let him go." "Well, then fix it up between yourselves if you can. I am willing." When the romance ended duty began. They went away together arm in arm, for better or for worse. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

DODSON, FISETTE, KUEHNL, MATNEY. MORGAN "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, February 12, 1918 Mrs. Missouri MATNEY, who was born in 1839 on a farm near Westport, died last night at her home on the Shawnee Road near Argentine. Mrs. MATNEY was the widow of John R. MATNEY, and both were pioneers of Jackson and Wyandotte counties. Mrs. MATNEY was a daughter of William and Sarah MATNEY (sic?) and was the youngest of a family of thirteen children. She was born soon after her parents settled on the farm near Westport, which is now a part of the Country Club grounds and was named after the state in which she was born. With her husband she moved to the farm in Wyandotte County in 1866 and had lived there continuously until her death yesterday. She was the mother of eleven children, seven of whom are living. During the war they were in that section neither solid North nor sold South and were in danger from both the raiders of Quantrell and the notorious Red Legs, a band of robbers. Their cattle were driven off and they were frequently forced to seek safety in the woods that then covered that section of the county. She is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth MORGAN and Mrs. Charles E. DODSON of the Kansas side, Mrs. Rush L. FISETTE of Rosedale and Mrs. Edward KUEHNL of Fond du Lac, Wis., and three sons, David B. MATNEY, Vinita, Ok,; Albert J. MATNEY, Argentine, and Henry MATNEY, Kansas side.
