"The most peculiar coroner's case that ever came to my notice was never made public," Dr. George B. THOMPSON, the county coroner, said recently. "It happened about a year and a half ago. The body of a man was found in the Missouri river near Independence. A woman whose name I don't want to give positively identified it as the body of her husband. He belonged to a lodge which ordered an expensive funeral. The man was buried with full fraternal services. "The day after the funeral the lodge received a check for three months' dues from a man in Southern Missouri. The man was the husband of the woman who had identified the body as his. He had been missing some time and his wife thought he was dead. "The funniest part of it was the consternation of the undertaker who had given the body a $135 burial. The woman and the lodge both refused to pay for the funeral of a man who wasn't dead. The undertaker tried to collect from the county, but I told him positively the county wasn't paying for $135 funerals for coroner cases. The undertaker is still out a big part of his $135. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Visions of long stretches of silent moonlit, country roads, where all Nature is at rest, and soft night winds fan the heated brow, proved too alluring to a party that met at the Kansas City Automobile School Thursday night. The day had been dangerously hot and when M. SHOEMAKER, manager of the school, suggested a little spin out past Dodson, everyone voted "Yes." A car was requisitioned from the shop, and Fred WALKER, a student, detailed as chauffeur. In the car where Michael O'HEARN, former alderman; M. SHOEMAKER, host, and F. M. DEARING, 2804 Troost Avenue. The start was auspicious, the motor worked beautifully, and all was well until they neared Grand View. The party had settled down to a calm enjoyment of the night, the car purred smoothly, rapidly along. Far off a rooster's clarion call challenged the hour and a distant dog bayed mournfully at the moon. Then it happened. The right rear wheel parted company with the axle. The car bumped along the rocky road. The occupants were thrown out. DEARING suffered a dislocated shoulder. SHOEMAKER's back and neck were sprained. O'HEARN and the chauffeur escaped with minor scratches and bruises. Hours afterwards a taxicab rescued them. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Success in old graveyards may come by going, at this time of years, as ground thaws or after a rain. Go with a sturdy metal probe, I use an electric fencing post, probe the ground in systemtic order. You will hit several clues. It hits something hard, Head , foot stone or merely a stone, goes in too easy, probably a site, probe half stride in and up or down( half stride is one foot in front of other). Now you will need a good back and a sharp spade,if you have permission to dig. Cut the sod off and place to one side. Now see if you have a marker. It would indeed be quicker if we had expensive ground reading probes, maybe one day. Be sure to return everything as near to ,as you found it, as possible. If you are looking for a truly old site get advice BEFORE doing anything. -----Original Message----- From: mojackso-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mojackso-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2010 12:58 PM To: MOJACKSO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOJACKSO] Tarsney, Van Buren, Jackson This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

The room formerly occupied by the Recorder, contained yesterday morning the mortal remains of the old man, whose case of being robbed in SNELL's dollar store was reported yesterday, slowly breathing his last, without a friend to mourn, a father and husband, beloved by his friends, away from him in his dying hour. On the floor of the room, without a blanket or pillow, laid George W. HATTON, of Harrisburg, Pa., the victim of robbers, thieves, and a lot of fellows in the vicinity of the Union Depot, who make a living by entrapping innocent persons into their numerous dens. The genteel features, a noble head with silvery locks of hair and a good dress, indicated that HATTON was no common man, and from letters and papers found in his overcoat, it is evident that he went or intended to go to Salina, Kansas, where one of his daughters lives; that his wife and one daughter live in Harrisburg, and a son, a telegraph operator in Virginia City, Nevada. It is reported that Mr. HATTON was seen day before yesterday in a delirious state, complaining of having lost his money, and evidently under the influence of liquor or drugs of some description. The corpse was taken to the undertaker Wednesday, where an inquest will be held this morning at nine o'clock. It is rumored that if the testimony should elicit any facts of foul play in this case, that lynch law will be one of the results of this dark tragedy. Detectives O'HARE and FITZPATRICK were yesterday very active in endeavoring to bring the perpetrators of this murder to justice, and have arrested a party on suspicion of being implicated. Addison SNELL, Esq., called at the "Times" office yesterday afternoon and wished that it be stated that he only got fifty dollars, instead of two hundred and fifty, from HATTON, and exhibited a so-called receipt in full, represented to have been signed by the said HATTON before his death.

The dollar store of Add SNELL was the scene of another rascally transaction last evening. George W. HATTON, an old man from Salina, Kansas, about sixty years of age, and claiming to be a miller, was inveigled, by the usual mode, into the "dollar swindling store," when he was robbed of $250 . But after some expostulation and entreaty, $50 was returned to him. He then fell into the hands of a party of blacklegs, who succeeded in drugging him, and after beating and robbing him of his last dollar, left him to die in the streets. HATTON was found by Officer DRIPPS about ten o'clock, and carried to the police station. Dr. BENNETT was called in, and the wounds upon the old man's face sewed up, but the pain failed to revive the old man, who at midnight remained in an insensible condition, with every indication of approaching death. This is the second case of poisoning and robbing strangers passing through this city. The last victim died in a saloon about two weeks ago, and as yet no clue to his murderers has been discovered. It is time something was done by the city authorities to put a stop to such outrages, or it will soon be unsafe for strangers to visit this city. Where are the detectives? What are they doing? The city has two of them employed. Why are not these nests of thieves brought to grief and punishment?

When the parties were brought into court Mr. MUFF informed the Judge, in tones that betrayed more feeling than discretion, that he would not be tried by one man, that this was a free country and he would enjoy all its rights and privileges. He therefore demanded the price of a jury. The jury was procured and the charges against Mr. MUFF specified by Mrs. MUFF. He had walked up to her in the street and hissed in her ear, "Frederika, you are a w_____. "Frederika, you are a false sl_____," etc. Mr. MUFF attempted in rebuttal of his wife's charge to prove that she was an indecent, lewd woman. But his efforts to blacken his wife's character did not save him from a verdict of guilty and a fine of $30.

The ordinance provides a fine of from $1 to $100 for each violation to prevent the street sprinkling men from throwing any water upon the street crossing.

X. BUCKNER. Doubtless no announcement could be made that would have carried with it sorrow to a greater number of our people than that of the sudden death of the Rev. X. X. BUCKNER, yesterday morning. There were none in this community who filled a larger or more conspicuous place either in its society or public affairs than did our dead friend. He was essentially of ourselves. He had seemed to have no ambition that did not include the advancement of the city; no aspiration for himself which did not contemplate a public interest. His latest enterprise was the establishing of a new National Bank, in connection with a number of other gentlemen, than which no new enterprise could have been more timely. Mr. BUCKNER was a man of extraordinary business ability, and he combined with it a social grace of manner and spotless integrity both of public and private character that left him well nigh without a fault. His sudden and unwarned death came upon him in his full prime. He has been called away from us at the moment of his greatest vigor and most indispensable usefulness. He was just entering that period of life when the vigor and force of manhood is most perfectly tempered by the judgment and experience of years. Than his no future in our community was brighter; no better promise of a great and useful career could have been more prematurely cut off. To the memory of such a man as Mr. BUCKNER it is at best but scant tribute to say that a great community mourns his loss. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

From Rock Island they removed to Kansas City and managed to live together until the second of December last, when they decided to live apart.
