~Critically Injured in Mill at Morse Mill Monday~

A shocking accident occurred Monday morning in the mill at Morse Mill when Clyde, son of Riley WILLIAMS, was caught by machinery in motion, and frightfully mangled.  The miller and the owner James BITTICK, together with the day crew who were just going to work, were standing about a large wheel where the belt needed attention.  In some way the young man’s arm was caught in the belting and he was whirled madly round and round the wheel in view of his companions who were powerless to help him.  The miller instantly rushed and shut the mill down, but already the right was mangled so that it had to be amputated, a foot was crushed and several ribs broken.  The young man is in critical condition and his recovery is doubtful.

The weather has been kind to the little tots and Miss WILLIAMS, attendance has been very good, tardiness is also improving.…

~In Memoriam~

R G. MORGAN was born Aug 30th, 1842 in Marion County, Ill.  His parents were Maj. Jas. D. and Elizabeth (MIDDLETON) MORGAN natives of McMinnville, Tenn.  April 20th he married Mary S. PADEN of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio and moved to Jefferson County Missouri in Sept 1869.  He was Sunday School Superintendent of Zion Sunday School for forty-two years.  His death occurred January 1st, 1913 and his funeral was preached by his dear old friend, Rev. D. W. CROW in the Zion M. E. Church which stands close by the newly-made grave of its chief promoter and builder.  His body now reposes almost in the spot where the little old log church so dear in the memory of all who used to worship there. Brother MORGAN was a man of an unusually affable and lovable disposition, while he had out lived the good age of three score and ten, he was still young in heart.  He was unselfish and public spirited, ever studying the public good not only in his immediate neighborhood, but his interests were nation-wide, yes even world wide for his heart was in the great world wide missionary cause. Not only his near and dear relatives sustained a heavy loss, but his friends (and they are many), his county, his state and perhaps most of all his church.  The burden of Brother CROW’s address seemed to be as to upon whom the mantle of this good Christian and untiring Sunday School worker should fall, his prayer was for the lord’s comforting influence to be with the bereaved family, and that he would raise up some one to take the place of the deceased in the Sunday School and Church of Zion, MO.

 

Mrs. Florenz HELD of Antonia was buried there Tuesday, Rev. E. J. HAMRICK conducting the funeral.  Mrs. HELD had been a sufferer of rheumatism for a long time and death was a relief.  She is survived by her husband and several children one of whom is Mrs. L. M. ZENSER who formerly lived in Hillsboro.  Mrs. HELD has lived long in this county and her circle of friends undergo a deep loss in the passing of this good woman.

 

Mrs. John MCCREARY nee HENSLEY nee MOSS died at her home near Goldman Sunday the 19th and was buried Tuesday at lower Sandy Church. The deceased has been a sufferer of dropsy for several months and her death has been daily expected for two months or more.  She is survived by her husband, a daughter Mrs. Sam MARSDEN, and six brothers, Richard, Clay, and Philip of Goldman, Frank of Hillsboro.  Mrs. MCCREARY has been a member of the Baptist church for more than forty years… She lived more than eighty years…Rev. J. H. PEPPERS of Festus performed the last sad rites.
