Friday, 9 Apr 1915--DROWNED SELF IN BARREL--Mrs. N. F. Moore, about 55 years old of near Huntsville in the vicinity of Fort Henry, drowned herself in a barrel of water some time Easter morning and was found dead by her husband about 6 o'clock. Although Mrs. Moore had not intimated to her family or anyone that she intended to commit the rash act, it is believed by her relatives that she committed suicide an account of her ill health. The exact time of her death is not known. She retired with the other members of the family Saturday night and was not missed from the house until early in the morning. Half of the woman's body was found in the barrel which was full of water. She stood in a chair and placed her head in the barrel. The coroner was called before the body was removed. Mrs. Moore leaves a husband and five children--Moberly Democrat. Friday, 9 Apr 1915--THE ELLIOTT WILL FILED--The will of John S. Elliott, who died in Boonville March 11, was filed in probate court last week and then immediately withdrawn. The main provisions of the will according to the Boonville Republican are: To his brothers, Hugh Elliott and Charley Elliott of Howard county, $10,000 each was left; to his niece, Miss Elliott Todhunter, $10,000; to Ed Chilton of Boonville, $1,000; to his son, Colonel Elliott left $25,000 and his residence with furnishings in Boonville; the balance of the estate is turned over to his son at the end of five years. The St. Louis Union Trust Co. and John S. Elliott, Jr. are joint administrators of the will. It is estimated the total estate is worth more than $500,000.--Fayette Democrat-Leader. Friday, 9 Apr 1915--One of the neatest pieces of work in the way of cabinet making we have seen in some time is the jewelry cabinet Geo. Webb has just completed for M. T. Stevenson. It is as handsome a piece of work of the kind as was ever seen in the town and adds greatly to the appearance of Mr. Stevenson's store. The case is a beautiful mahogany color and the joints are made so perfectly that only the closest scrutiny detects them. The three glass doors, as well as the panel doors in the base, are hung so perfectly that the slightest pressure moves them. The entire case is put together with screws and can be completely dismantled in a half hour's time. On the whole it is a piece of work that both Messrs. Stevenson and Webb have reason to feel proud of, and which demonstrates in the best manner possible the latter's ability as a carpenter. Friday, 9 Apr 1915--James Davidson of Ardmore, who shot William Henry at that place a month ago in a quarrel, and from the effects of which the latter died in a Moberly hospital last week, will not be prosecuted, the coroner's jury returning a verdict of justifiable homicide.
