Friday, 12 July, 1918, Vol 32, No 13-John Harriman, who was shot thru' the breast in the region of the heart at Marissa, Ill., some eight or ten weeks ago, and who underwent an operation for the removal of the bullet a few weeks ago, was able to join his family here Saturday, although he is yet far from well. The injury to his lung has never healed making a drainage tube necessary. It will likely be many months before he is entirely well. Friday, 12 July, 1918, Vol 32, No 13--DEATH OF HARRY T. LYON--The following, relative to the death of Harry T. Lyon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lyon, formerly of this place, who was killed in France on the 3rd, is taken from the Little Rock, Ark, Gazette: "The death of Corporal Harry T. Lyon of North Little Rock, who was killed while fighting with the United States Marines in France, was reported in yesterday 's casualty list. Corporal Lyon was a member of the Forty-ninth company, Fifth Regiment, United States Marines. He enlisted in Little Rock July 3, 1916, just two years before the day his death was reported. He left Little Rock July 5, 1916, and went to France with General Pershing's original expedition a year ago last May. He was nearly 26 years old and before enlisting in the marines had been employed for some time by the Ayer-Lord Tie Company in North Little Rock. He was born in Higbee, Mo. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Lyon; his brothers, James I. Lyon, William D. Lyon and Leslie Lyon, and his sister, Edith Lyon, all of North Little Rock. Jas. I. Lyon, who formerly was an alderman in North Little Rock, has just returned to make his home. William D. Lyon has enlisted in the navy, but has not been called for service. Friday, 12 July, 1918, Vol 32, No 13--Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Seymour received a message yesterday informing them of the death of their son-in-law, Clyde C. Turner, which occurred in Denver on the 10th from heart trouble. He is survived by his widow and parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Turner of Moberly. Interment will be made at Moberly tomorrow or Sunday. Friday, 12 July, 1918, Vol 32, No 13--While returning from church Tuesday evening with her husband, Mrs. O. S. Pitney was seriously injured, the buggy they were in being run into from the rear by a horse ridden by a young man of the name of Magruder, whose first name we could not learn. The buggy was completely wrecked and both Mr. and Mrs. Pitney were thrown violently to the ground, the latter being dragged quite a distance by his own horse, which ran away. He fortunately escaped with a few bruises. Mrs. Pitney had two ribs broken and the scalp torn loose from the right side of her head, being trampled on, it is thought, by the horse that ran into them. Three or four young men who were following the buggy on horseback, engaged in a race, it is said, the accident occurring at a sharp turn in the road. Friday, 12 July, 1918, Vol 32, No 13--AARON J. YOUNG--Aaron James Young, brief mention of whose death was made in our last issue, was the son of Adam and Martha Young, and was born in Pennsylvania on July 10, 1861. In early boyhood he moved to Indiana with his parents, and in 1886 came to Missouri, locating at Paris, where he was married on December 22, 1888, to Miss Attie Brown, who with seven of the nine children born to them, survives. the children are David, of La Plata; James V., Camp Funston; Edna, William, Alfred, Velma and Everett of this place. As stated last week, he met his death at 2 o'clock, just as the working force was quitting for the day, by being caught under a two-ton rock, which evidently fell without any warning, as it was known as a "slip." The coroner's inquest, which was held at Feland's undertaking parlors following the preparation of the body for burial, rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Eld. Wm. Kelso, who made as touching and consoling a talk as we have heard on similar occasions in a long time. The crowd in attendance was an exceedingly large one, and bore testimony of the esteem in which Mr. Young was held and of the sympathy felt for his family. Interment was made in the city cemetery. While Mr. Young, so far as we know, was never identified with any church, he was a good man at heart and was known and recognized as one of the biggest hearted men in town. He had his faults like the rest of us, but we are firmly of the opinion that the good in him will so far over-balance the bad that it will be all right with him on the other side. Friday, 12 July, 1918, Vol 32, No 13--At a meeting of the school board Friday evening of last week, the resignation of Mrs. Georgia Middleton, who has been teaching in the primary department for several years, and who was reemployed for the coming term, was accepted, she having secured a position in the school at Bozeman, Montana, at a salary of $100 per month. Mrs. Middleton returned to summer school at Kirksville Sunday, and will leave for the West about the middle of next month. Friday, 12 July, 1918, Vol 32, No 13--FRANK DAWSON PAROLED--Frank Dawson, sent to the Penitentiary for life for murdering Miss Anna Hartman at Middle Grove, on December 5, 1903, was given a holiday parole by the state prison commission at Jefferson City Wednesday. The parole will be revoked if Dawson ever comes back to Monroe county. He went direct from the prison to Moberly to visit his aged parents, the father, F. M. Dawson, being blind and hopelessly ill. Later, he states, he will locate in some other state. Dawson was paroled to his uncle, M. S. Dawson, of Centralia. Replying to an inquiry from the appeal about what Monroe county citizens had asked for this clemency, a member of the board stated that nobody had made such a request other than all the prison officials and guards. The parole, was justified on the ground that Dawson was in line by reason of long service and by a model prison record. Dawson was originally sentence to hang. His attorneys saved him by carrying the case to the supreme court and getting anew trial on some trivial flaw in the indictment. A second trial in June, 1905, resulted in a life sentence. The jury stood 10 for first degree murder. After 18 hours of wrangling the ten agreed with the other two to compromise on life sentence. Prior to the second trial a petition circulated by Dawson's father, asking a commutation to life imprisonment, was signed by 1,500 people. A remonstrance was signed by 1000. The crime for which Dawson was imprisoned was one of the worst in the history of Monroe County. Filling up on liquor, he rode from Madison to Middle Grove, walked into a room where a lot of young people were dancing and shot his former sweetheart, Miss Anna Hartman, to death. Another bullet wounded Obie Hughes in the back. Dawson fled from the scene and spent the night in a pile of rails. Next morning he walked to the home of his brother and gave himself up. As a favor to the family the sheriff let him stop at Madison on his way to jail and take breakfast with his parents. As the heartbroken mother served him she remarked: "It will be the last time I will ever see you at my table, my boy, for they will put you in prison for life." Public sentiment in Monroe county was probably very largely against paroling this prisoner--Paris Appeal. Kathy Bowlin, Additions, corrections, comments welcome.
