"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, October 5, 1880 At the instance of Mrs. P. POTTER, a young lad names JONES, was arrested yesterday on the charge of using insulting language towards her, while she was riding in her phaeton. The evidence went to show that Mrs. POTTER was driving out Sunday evening, when this boy JONES with some other boys, were on Third street and he cried out to her horse, "Whoa, Dolly," several times, and when ordered to desist, used abusive language. The lad offered no defense but plead guilty. Judge STOCKTON imposed a fine of $1 and costs. Boys may think it fun to insult ladies who are driving or walking on the streets, but Wyandotte is not becoming a city of too large dimensions to admit of such practice, and if every lady would act like Mrs. POTTER, boys would soon learn to behave themselves. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10

"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Saturday, July 10, 1880 Mashed by a Beer Keg. As William HOOD was unloading some beer kegs in Kansas City, Kas., one of them slipped from his hand and caught the fingers of his right hand between the iron hoops and the keg and the sidewalk, amputating the index finger and mashing his hand. Dr. GISH was called who dressed the wound, but that he will have a sore hand for some time to come there seems no doubt. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10

"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Saturday, July 10, 1880 In the death of Mrs. V. S. LUCAS, which took place on Friday night, there is a void caused in both the family and social circles that cannot be filled. Indeed it seems hard to realize that she is dead, but ill comparatively a few days. The suddenness of her death has fallen heavily on her friends and none more so than her heart-broken husband, and three motherless little girls, the youngest scarcely three months old. Her amiable disposition has endeared her to all and to have to lay her in the cold, silent grave seems hard indeed. For the past few days she has suffered intensely from inflammatory rheumatism which finally attacking her brain caused her death. The funeral will take place this afternoon at three o'clock. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10

Eggs are high but a man, who yesterday afternoon was walking past Kesting's commission house, 411 Walnut Street, had a way of getting them without paying the high price. The grocery wagon of C. H. CAYOT, 1602 East Thirty-first Street, was standing in front of the commission house partly loaded with groceries for the store. When the onlooker saw a case, containing thirty dozen eggs, brought out and put on the wagon, he waited until Mr. CAYOT and the driver went into the commission house, then carried off the case. The eggs cost thirty cents a dozen wholesale, $9 for the case. ====================================================== (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.

A young man from Kansas strolled into the office of Assistant Postmaster SEIDLITZ to-day and, with the air of a Chesterfield, announced that he wanted a blank application for the civil service examination which takes place on June 18 in Kansas City, Kas. "This is Missouri," replied Mr. SEIDLITZ; "you're in the wrong state; go back to Kansas." "Well, you know, I really cawn't quite do that. I know those fellows who are on the examining committee, and they are so much inferior to me socially that I cawn't bear to ask favors of them." At this the young man of social prominence swelled up immensely. He was told that there was no escape from bowing the knee to the minions of the civil service department if he wished to draw his salary from the government. The young man adjusted a ten cent tie that was climbing above his collar and caught the first car for the town on the other side of the Kaw. ====================================================== (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.

"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Monday, July 5, 1880 FELL DOWN A CELLAR. Quite a serious accident befell the young child of James LAIDLAW of the Kansas Pacific shops, Armstrong, on Saturday evening. She was playing with some other children in front of the family residence, and not noticing the cellar door being open plunged headlong down the opening into the basement, a distance of some eight feet. The way she fell caused many who saw the accident to think the child had met with instant death, and although brought out of the cellar in an insensible condition, it was found on examination that no bones were broken, but she was terribly bruised up. Her escape from almost instant death seems marvelous. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10

"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Monday, July 5, 1880 PICKPOCKETS. Several of the light fingered gentry have been in the city for the past week, and although no robberies of any serious nature have occurred, still many attempts have been made without success. Yesterday as John DENISON was standing with a number of friends near Grueble's discussing the issue of political matters he felt a sudden jerk at his watch chain, and turning sharply around caught a stranger rather well dressed in the act of abstracting his watch from his pocket. Instead of calling the police, he administered to him a sound thrashing and sent him spinning down Minnesota avenue. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10

The following article was published in "The Kansas City Daily Times" on Saturday, July 10, 1880. I found it "entertaining" and I thought that maybe you would too. GOSSIP ABOUT WOMEN. Two fashionable and wealthy ladies were fined $5 each in Dubuque, Iowa, for taking flowers from a cemetery. Vassar girls sing, "Here's to Vassar College, drink it down," just like the horrid "sophs" at the masculine cottages. Two Illinois lamplighters are discovered to be girls, whose father compelled them to dress in boys' clothes in order to get the work. A woman who drew $300 in a lottery started out to tell her neighbors about it and fell in a well and was drowned. Like most people who draw prizes in lotteries, she did not know enough to let well alone. A Terre Haute physician told the country medical society that one of his patients, a young woman, was attacked with frightful pains in her legs; that after two weeks of suffering she recovered, and it was found that she was six inches taller than before. The report was received in impressive silence. On returning home from a shopping tour a Providence, R.I., woman missed a valuable ring which she was certain she wore when trying on several pairs of gloves. That was about a year ago. Recently she went to purchase another pair of gloves and at the same store as before, and tried on several pairs. In the last she found her ring, where she had left it in drawing off the glove a year before.

John; delightful. Ah the wordsmanship of those days. I wonder how many readers know what a chesterfield is? How about Astors Plush Pup? These accorymns are a delight. Bud in mo.

If a $10 American flag displayed in the front window of a food emporium proves that the proprietor is a loyal American, then the signs of the German Café, a delicatessen at Ninth and Oak streets, probably will not be demolished in the future. Harry J. MEYERSIECK, proprietor of the café, has had to have the signs on the front of the café repainted several times because someone changed the worked "German" to "American." W. O.

Thanks Bud, yes the Missouri death records are very helpful. It would be great if other States made the records available on-line. Since the Missouri death records go through 1957, and Kansas records are not on-line, I've been focusing on Missouri obits starting with 1958, Kansas City people who died outside of Missouri, and KCK obits for all years. Hopefully, these postings will be helpful. Occasionally I will hear from a family member thanking me for a posting.
