"The Kansas City Evening Mail" (Missouri) Thursday, September 23, 1875 The many friends of Mr. G. W. WEIKERT and his estimable family will regret to learn of their removal from this city, where they have resided for several years, to take up their abode in Kansas City. Much as Mr. WEIKERT himself regrets leaving Independence, the step he has taken is rendered absolutely necessary by the growing requirements of a daily increasing business, which demand his personal attention and supervision, and prevent his sparing the time for traveling to and from Kansas City, while doubtless his recent bereavement lessens his old home of the interest and attraction it possessed before the decease of his wife. Wherever the family locates, every member of it will have the best wishes of their numerous friends in this city for their future happiness and welfare. ====================================================== (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) Friday, December 25, 1903 KNOCKED BETWEEN CARS. William FOUST, a negro laborer who lives at 1306 Baltimore avenue, was knocked off a cable car last evening as it was going down the Ninth street incline. He was riding down on the steps, and while he noticed another coming up, he thought he could hug the post to which he was holding, close enough to keep from being struck. He was knocked between the cars and narrowly missed being killed. After he had been carried down the incline, the police ambulance was called. His left knee was badly sprained and his right leg injured. He also received several bad scalp wounds. He was sent to the city hospital. ====================================================== (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) Friday, July 17, 1908 AN HEIRLOOM LOST AND FOUND. A half dozen Union depot employees worked twenty minutes yesterday afternoon to remove a plank of the old platform. "It isn't there," they chorused as all bent down to look under the platform. "I saw it go down there," three women made the same remark simultaneously. "O! and it was a family heirloom, too. What shall I do?" a young woman said excitedly. She was Miss Belle EDMONSTON of New Franklin, Mo. "Were you looking for a watch?" a baggage man approaching the group asked. "Here's one I picked up over near the depot where someone dropped it?" The watch was the heirloom which had been seen to disappear under the platform. ====================================================== (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 Star" (Missouri) Saturday, October 15, 1910 WAS GIVEN ALIMONY OF 1 CENT. Alimony was forced upon Mrs. Adelaide C. LEFFELL when she obtained a divorce today from Forest S. LEFFELL before Judge Hermann BRUMBACK. Mrs. LEFFELL lives at the Lorraine Apartments on Broadway. She did not ask for alimony when she filed the suit. "Don't you want alimony?" Judge BRUMBACK asked, before giving Mrs. LEFFELL the decree of divorce. "No, thanks, I do not care for it," she replied. "I think I will award alimony to you," Judge BRUMBACK said. "I want to warn you against remarrying during this term of my court. I will give you alimony of one cent." The LEFFELLs were married in Dallas, Tex., in 1893. They separated last March. LEFFELL is foreman of the press room at the Western Newspaper Union. The court's order for alimony was made for the purpose of ending litigation in the case for all time. ====================================================== (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) Friday, February 19, 1915 MR. SHELLEY LOST HIS TEMPER. In a musty, little, old shop in a forgotten business quarter at 411 Delaware Street was enacted yesterday afternoon one of those tragic events which are made possible by the city, but of which the city, going its roaring way, seldom hears. At 411 Delaware Street is the dry goods and notion store of George M. SHELLEY, once big in the life of the town, twice mayor, thrice police commissioner, president of the board of public works at one time; of George M. SHELLEY, aged 65, who lives in lonely fashion in a room behind his shop, cooking his own meals, seeing few friends. But, as he bent above a ledger at his desk just inside the window yesterday, an old friend entered. "Charley" OLDHAM is a big man, solid and prosperous appearing. A few years ago his was a name known to all men who gambled on races in this Middle Western country. Now he sells farm lands and lives at 2014 Linwood Boulevard. His hand on the latch, OLDHAM paused inside the door. "Mr. Shelley," he said, "can you let me have that $260?" They had been friends years before. A score of years ago "Charlie" OLDHAM had lent $22,000 to SHELLEY, who then was a big merchant with a wholesale house at Ninth and Central streets. But SHELLEY fell upon hard times and, several years ago, went into voluntary bankruptcy. More than $10,000 of that $22,000 still was unpaid, and the debt was wiped out by the bankruptcy proceedings. But just before those proceedings OLDHAM had lent SHELLEY $260 to finance an Eastern trip that promised to rehabilitate SHELLEY's fortunes, and it was a liability not itemized in the proceedings. "No, I cannot," SHELLEY cried, rising from his desk. "You're the third man who tried to collect from me today." Suddenly, in futile rage, he struck, hitting OLDHAM in the face. OLDHAM threw his arms about the other. "The best friend you got, Mr. SHELLEY," he said. "The best friend you got." SHELLEY struggled futilely. Someone burst in the door and struck OLDHAM on the head. Then he grasped OLDHAM and pushed him from the shop. It was Max GILSEY, who had run from his store across the street. SHELLEY shut the door on the gathering crowd and went back to his ledger. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
