6 Dec 1890--We failed to mention last week the birth of a son on the 23rd of Nov to Mr. and Mrs. Rollie Embree. 6 Dec 1890--HUNTSVILLE ITEMS FROM THE HUNTSVILLE HERALD--Clarrie, the little daughter of W. S. and Lillie J. Penn, of Renick, died suddenly on Tuesday of last week, aged 3 years, 3 months and 2 days. Three days before that she was out where her papa was working, and he cautioned her to keep out of the way or she might get hurt. She folded her little arms across her breast, and replied: "Papa I am going to die. I'm going up where the bright stars are," and sure enough she did, leaving an aching void in that theretofore happy household. Her funeral took place the following day from Sweet Springs church, the services being conducted by Rev. T. H. Baker. 13 Dec 1890--Willie, the 18 year old son of Julius Miller, of Moberly, died at that place yesterday evening. 20 Dec 1890--Born, in Higbee, on the 18th, to Mr. and Mrs. John Skirvin, a son. 20 Dec 1890--Died, near Higbee on the 18th, of consumption, Miss Millie Robb, aged 19 years. 20 Dec 1890--Died, on the 16th, near Burton, Mrs. Jonas Ware, aged about 40 years. 20 Dec 1890--Mr. and Mrs. Settle, of Mexico, came up Wednesday to be present at the marriage of her sister, Miss Annie Burton. 20 Dec 1890--WILLIAMS-BURTON--On Wednesday, 17th inst. at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Burton, of Higbee, Mo, their youngest daughter, Miss Annie, and Mr. Geo. L. Williams, of Audrain Co, Mo, were united in the bonds of matrimony, Rev. W. B. Anderson, officiating. All the young people of the town and vicinity were in attendance to witness the nuptial knot tied and to partake of the sumptuous repast prepared for the occasion, which, to say the least, was simply grand and magnificent--as no one knows better how to prepare a wedding feast than does Mrs. Burton. We regret to loose Miss Annie from the circle of our young friends, as she was a general favorite, full of life, and like unto the half bloom rose, she was just blooming into womanhood, when there came a voice and said: "Pass under the rod!" It was hard for the mother and father to give Miss Annie away, as she was the last born of their family, and for the intense love they bore her tender age and loving kindness of their baby towards them. Mr. Williams should be proud of conquest in securing for his life helpmeet such a girl as Miss Annie. They left on the noon train Thursday for his father's near Centralia, where a grand reception had been prepared for them. May their lives be long and peaceful as they float down the stream of life with no breakers or reefs to founder upon while sailing on life's ocean, is the prayer and sincere wish of their many friends. (a long gift list followed, which was for all practical purposes, a guest list. For family related to this couple, it would be worth reading the original.) 20 Dec 1890--Born in Burton, on the 18th, to Mr. and Mrs. Thos. McCafferty, a son. 20 Dec 1890--Born, near Myers, on the 18th, to Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Sheldon, of the ME Church, her remains were laid to rest in the Baker family burying ground near town. 27 Dec 1890--Miss Rome Embree of Marshall is visiting her sister, Mrs. James Burton, here. 27 Dec 1890--Born, on the 23rd, to Geo Wilson and wife, a son. 27 Dec 1890--Married in Burton, on Dec 23, 1890, Mr. J.
