Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's "Pearls" are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri Part II WEDNESDAY, 21 MARCH 1886 At the earnest solicitation of Mr. Frederick GRIMM, and for reason stated by him that appeared reasonable at the time, we refrained last week from publishing the fact that there was a wedding in our office on the 22nd inst. The result is that our Maxville subscribers, who have a right to the news, were disappointed, and had to write letters here to find out the facts. It is not the first time our good nature has been taken advantage of in this manner, but it will be the last. The parties married were Frederick GRIMM, Sr., and Miss Katharina HEIMBACH of Maxville, and 'Squire SHEIBLE tied the knot. No deaths were filed with the County clerk the last week, but the following births were recorded. (My working copy was very dim and almost impossible to read.)

March 26, 1886 OBITUARY - Our town was deeply moved by the announcement of the death of Mrs. George LUHRSEN, last Tuesday. Mrs. LUHRSEN had been seriously sick for over a week, and hopes for recovery had been abandoned last Saturday. Last Sunday her condition seemed to be much improved and the attending physician, Dr. JENKINS, believed in a possible chance at recovery. But at would not be, and Tuesday morning Mrs. LUHRSEN breathed her last. She was a native of Jefferson county, Missouri, and in September, 1876, was united in marriage with Mr. George LUHRSEN, at the residence of her father, Mr. Frederick LANGEHENNING, near the village of Antonia, Mo. This union proved to be a very happy one, and Mr. LUHRSEN and his wife enjoyed the love and esteem of all. Mrs. LHURSEN was a lady of true Christianity, conscientiously fulfilling all her duties - a loving mother, an affectionate wife and never-ending helpmate to her husband, and a shinning example to all who knew her. She leaves her husband with six little boys to mourn her loss. May he, who tempereth the wind to the shorn lamb, help our friend, LUHRSEN, to bear upon this affliction. Her sun set while it was yet day. It was intended to have the funeral to take place on Thursday, but circumstances made it necessary to change the time, and on Wednesday afternoon the body of Mrs. LUHRSEN was taken to its last long rest. Thursday afternoon Rev. BLANKIH of the German Lutheran Church, conducted the services in an impressive manner, and the great number of those present bore witness, that the one who had been carried to her grave was beloved by all. - BUCKLEY (Ill.)
