Friday, 24 Nov 1916--THOMAS YEAGER DIED SATURDAY--Thomas B. Yeager, one of the best known and most highly esteemed residents of this county, died at his home near this city at 1:07 o'clock yesterday afternoon, following an illness of several months duration. Mr. Yeager had been in poor health for quite a while, but it was only recently that his condition became worse, and few of his friends realized that his condition was serious. Mr. Yeager was born June 2, 1853. For years he has made his home near this city and he was well known to all our citizens, and highly esteemed by all. News of his death will be received with genuine regret. Surviving him are his wife, two sons and six daughters. They are Edgar and Martin Yeager, Mrs. L. B. Cleeton, Mrs. Jas. McKinsey, Mrs. Carl Hendricks, Mrs. J. M. Thornburg, Mrs. Guy Irons and Miss Lola Yeager, all of near Moberly. Two sisters, Miss Mary Yeager, of Hot Springs, Ark., and Mrs. T. D. Coates of near Moberly, also are left to mourn his death. Mr. Yeager was a member of the Central Christian church, of which he had been a deacon for several years--Moberly Monitor Nov 19. Friday, 24 Nov 1916--W. G. White of southeast of town this week adds his name to the list of farmers posting their places against hunters, a half dozen of his best turkeys having been killed by hunters or their dogs Tuesday. It is our guess that such kind of work as this by thoughtless boys or reckless hunters is going to be kept up until some one gets their hide full of shot. Friday, 24 Nov 1916--While on a train the other day going to Moberly, Thomas Hall of Elliott was robbed by a negro pickpocket who got his purse containing two $20 bills. Mr. Hall reported the loss to the police who later arrested the negro. The purse and one of the bills was recovered. The negro is in jail.

Reed, while preparing dinner last Sunday, caught her foot in the carpet as she was crossing the room and fell, breaking her right arm just above the wrist. Less than a year ago she fell at the skating rink and broke the arm in almost the same place, and one day last summer had both hips thrown out of place when she was caught between two automobiles at the ball park. She has had more than her share of accidents, and the NEWS joins her many friends in the hope that the one of Sunday will be her last. Friday, 24 Nov 1916--N. A.
