Friday, 29 Oct 1915--JUDGE A. P. TERRILL DEAD--Judge Arthur P. Terrill died at 6 o'clock this morning at his home, 418 South Williams street. He was in his usual health yesterday and had been very jovial and pleasant while he was in his accustomed place at the Bank of Moberly. Early this morning members of the household heard him up and walking around his room. At about 6 o'clock his heavy breathing was noticed and he passed away before a physician arrived. As news sped from person to person in the early morning hours of the day more than one was reminded of the apostle of old who "walked with God and was not, for God took him." Judge Terrill was a man among men and one of which it may be truly said that his life was an open book. The manner of his going away was as he had often wished that he might go, for he was one who lived each day as thought it was his last and every evening found him at peace with God and man. Judge Terrill was born in Kentucky Feb, 15th, 1838, and his age was 77 years, 8 months and 7 days. He was the last of a family of seven children, four brothers and two sisters having preceded him to the land beyond the shadows. His nephew, Vint Terrill, and niece, Miss Lizzie Terrill, made their home with him and he was a father to them. Henry, Green and James Terrill and Mrs. Lloyd Wayland looked on their uncle as a second father as he was always very devoted to them. In early youth he came to Missouri with his parents. Their home was the farm which is now owned by Earl Ragsdale. During the best part of a long and useful life he lived in this vicinity. He was a student in the old Mt. Pleasant college at Huntsville and to the last he was a student, as he always found life interesting and enjoyable. One of the leading lawyers of north Missouri he had friends and clients in many places. For the past few years he had given up the practice of law to devote his time to the duties of the presidency of the Bank of Moberly. He was faithful to every trust and was true as steel to his friends, loyalty to friends being a leading characteristic of the Terrill family. Firm as a rock in his stand for all that was right and good he was ever charitable and tolerant of the beliefs and opinions of others. In any move for the betterment of humanity or the conditions of the community in which he lived his place was always known to be on the side of right. His noble example helped many weaker ones to stand for their convictions. He was greatly interested in all movements of educational betterment of the people and all of the educational entertainments, such as chautauquas, lyceum courses and musical entertainments, he gave the encouragement of his presence and appreciation, thus helping to uplift the moral and intellectual tone of the community. Seldom is the life of a man of such mentality and prominence spent in one locality. For the past half century he had lived in Moberly and Huntsville and both places were improved by his genial presence and helpful attitude toward humanity in general. Besides his loyalty and affection to his relatives he was a real friend who found it to be no trouble to befriend those who were in need of help and counsel. A patriotic American citizen, he displayed physical bravery when he enlisted as a Southern soldier, and was a valiant soldier until he was disabled by a wound received while in a skirmish. Early in life he united with the Christian church and remained a soldier in the army of the lord as long as he lived. He was active in the work of his church. For several winters he had conducted the teachers training class in the Central Christian church. He was a Bible student of more than local renown and many who did not belong to the Christian church, attended the class for the privilege of obtaining the knowledge which he had gained by his study of the scripture. August 9, 1902, his beloved wife entered into rest and many who have visited Oakland cemetery have been impressed by the marble monument bearing her obituary and the name of her devoted husband, with the date of his birth and a blank for the date of his death, this being a silent testimonial that he was waiting to join her in that bright land beyond this vale of tears. The funeral will be conducted by Revs. B. L. Smith and W. T. Henson in the Central Christian church at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Interment in Oakland cemetery--Moberly Democrat Oct 22. Friday, 29 Oct 1915--MINE AT RUSSELL ABANDONED--The mine at Russell is no more, its latest owner, a Kansas City lady, having decided several weeks ago to abandon it. The work of dismantling it, in charge of J. C. Herron, was completed Thursday of last week and the irons, cars, engine, etc., are for sale. The mine was operated for several years by John Mure who sold it to Fayette parties a year or so ago, who in turn traded it for a Pettis county farm. It was never a paying proposition. Friday, 29 Oct 1915--Frank Grimes, who has been in the poultry business at Fayette for several years, and who is quite well known here, will move to San Benito, Texas, where he will have charge of a big ranch recently purchased by Fayette parties. Friday, 29 Oct 1915--The home of Mrs. S. E. Avery of near town was the scene of a very pleasant gathering on Saturday, the 23rd, it being Mrs. Avery's 70th birthday. The occasion was fittingly celebrated with a big dinner, the guests being the children and other relatives. Friday, 29 Oct 1915--C. W. Williams, who has not been feeling well for several weeks, was taken suddenly ill Thursday of last week, when it was found that he was suffering from appendicitis. He was taken to Kansas City for an operation, when a blood test showed that the fever with which he had been bothered for some time was typhoid, and it was decided not to operate. When last heard from, Mr. Williams was doing nicely, and will likely be home in a short time. Friday, 29 Oct 1915--HE NEVER VISITED DENTIST OR BARBER--William Hammack of Salisbury, who visited his daughter, Mrs. Corbin Furr, this week, enjoys the unusual distinction of never having a tooth pulled by a dentist or having a shave or a hair cut by a barber. Mr. Hammack is ninety-two years of age and is remarkably well preserved for a man of his age. He owns three thousand acres of land and looks after his own business. This is Mr. Hammack's first visit to Fayette. He passed through the town thirty years ago but did not stop--Fayette Advertiser. Friday, 29 Oct 1915--Mrs. Julia Barnes and son, Wood, left Monday for their home in Ideal, Texas, after a visit of several weeks with the former's brother, W. M. Burton, and other relatives. They are making the trip in their car and were accompanied as far as Kansas City by Mrs. Barnes' sister, Mrs. J. W. Pattrick, who returned Wednesday. Mr. Barnes made the trip to Higbee at a total expense of $23 and with but one puncture, and will try and beat this record on the return trip. Friday, 29 Oct 1915--HELD FOR MURDER--The preliminary hearing of Willis Robb, aged seventeen years, charged with first degree murder was held before Justice Robert Settle at the court house Saturday afternoon.

Friday, 29 Oct 1915--Henry Kimbrough brought to this office Saturday morning a pearl button which has been in the family for 106 years. It was taken from an overcoat purchased by his great-uncle, Thomas Kimbrough in North Carolina in 1809. Mr. Kimbrough has had it in his possession for 45 years and prizes it very highly. He intends having it converted into a watch charm with the date of its purchase engraved on it and will hand it down to the next generation--Renick Enterprise.
