The
~Obituary~
Mr.
Patrick CRADICK, a well-respected citizen of
Deceased
was a native of Ireland and the son of Thomas CRADICK, and old and highly
respected citizen of Jefferson County, whose sad death, caused by being ran over
at Ewing Avenue crossing, St. Louis, by an express train, occurred only four
years ago and is still fresh in the memory of many of the readers of this
paper. Patrick immigrated to this country about twenty five years
ago. Being then about nineteen years of age, he worked on his father’s
farm in this county for about two years. He then went to
He was a man who was ever ready to assist the poor and those in distress. His charity knew no bounds and he regarded the suffering of others with the tenderness of a child. His life was made up of a succession of charitable deeds. Kind, affectionate, generous and sympathetic, he was idolized by his friends and won the respect of all who knew him. His sufferings were extreme, but having to the divine decree that all must die; he bore them with Christian fortitude and patient resignation.
Although lingering before the threshold of eternity for seven long weeks, he retained his consciousness to the last and only a few hours before the final summons came, he called all the members of his family to the bedside, and bade them a last good-bye. He was a member of the Catholic Church and received the last sacraments before death. Having lived a truly Christian life, his death was no less edifying.
He was a member of the railway lodge of the A.O.U.W. and his brother members assisted him and his family in every possible way they could during the long period of his illness. His remains were sent to Catawissa and from thence taken to S. Patrick’s church, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, and after the last sad rites of the church were performed they were laid to their final resting place in the adjoining cemetery, there to sleep till the last trumpet’s dreadful din shall wake them to resurrection.
Rev. E. BERRY preached the funeral sermon, in which he paid a very eloquent tribute to the memory of Mr. CRADICK.
Deceased leaves a wife and six small children, the eldest of which is
twelve years, to mourn his loss. They have the sympathy of the entire
community in this their sad bereavement. A Friend, Pacific, MO,

We stopped late the recorder’s office Tuesday just as Judge ELKINS was performing the marriage ceremony uniting George E. PERRY and Mattie E. REYNOLDS. They were a rather youthful couple, but appeared to realize the importance of the step they were taking. The were accompanied by Misses Cora HAVERSTICK and Minnie PERRY and Messrs. John SHORT and Ed SCHREIBER, and it looked very much like there was material for two more weddings in the near future. All were from DeSoto. Mr. PERRY informed us that he had a house for his bride, already furnished, which they would occupy at once, and that there would be a reception at their home that evening.

There is to be a road grader contest in this county on the first Tuesday in May next. The place selected for the contest is a mile north of the court house on the road leading from the gravel road past the BOOTH place. It has been suggested that the citizens interested in that road should make ready for the contest by removing such trees and grass that may be in the way; for the work done will be of a permanent character, thoroughly grading and ditching the road as far as it goes, and the fewer impediments in the way the more road will be made. We believe it is the intention to buy a number of readi-grading machines after the contest is over, and there should be present representative men – interested in good roads – from all parts of the county.
Notice – There will be a called meeting of the Grubville Stock Co. at their hall in Grubville, MO, March 19th, 1892 at 2 o’clock, p.m. for the purpose of transacting some special business. A full attendance of the stock-holders is desired. John S. McKAY, President.
Mr. VEAZEY, having been appointed to the position by the Burlington railroad company, being placed in charge of the advertising department of said company, resigned his office as county school commissioner and also as principal of the Hillsboro school. The school directors hated to give him up and the pupils united in a petition to him to remain until the end of the term, but the fact was his wages here were not such as his abilities justify him obtaining, and he had a good offer it would not have been treating him right to have insisted on his staying. He left, Monday, for his new field, and carries with him the best wishes of the entire population of Jefferson County. His family will still remain here, so we expect to see him quite often.
Last Friday, Mr. Henry BRADY, who lived about five miles north of Hillsboro, suddenly dropped dead from heart failure. He was 76 years, 11 months and 5 days old, but when we saw him last a few weeks ago he appeared to have the vigor and strength of a man of 60. We are informed that he had not complained or showed any symptoms of diseases until a few minutes before he died, and then his complaint was not such as to produce any idea of anything serious. Mr. BRADY was an old river man, but for the last twenty years or more had been living on a farm where he died. He was a man of more than average intelligence and information, but was quiet and unostentatious, attending strictly to this own business, and was generally liked by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, who is also quite aged. Mrs. BRADY has one son by a former marriage, W.K. VREELAND, who used to be well known around Hillsboro and Crystal City.

It appears that we have been slandering Judge MADISON’s lost dog, by publishing her as slow; but it is not our fault as we gave the description as given us. The following is a full description as near as the Judge can give it from memory. Small black and tan hound bitch, 10 or 12 months old, bald faced, lashes of one eye white, possibly some white on neck and belly, and probably all feet white, end of tail white, marked with a small slit in one ear. The Judge considers her a valuable animal, as he purchased her as such, and is anxious to recover possession of her. He will pay liberally for information that will lead to her recovery. It is probably that she is in the possession of someone not many miles a way, and if so, on seeing this notice such person should at once take her home. For fear that he will not, everybody is requested to be on the lookout for her.

Take Notice –
Notice is hereby given to whom it may concern, that whereas one Joseph WEIDE obtained by fraud my note for $30.00 in a horse trade, the animal traded me belonging to Henry GUNTHER in Washington County, I have stopped payment on said note as it was obtained by fraud. The said Joseph WEIDE, (or WHITE in English), is a man of medium height, with blue eyes, rather wild in appearance, Iron grey hair and moustache, speaks very slow and speaks English very brokenly. He claims to be a doctor, and also a Pinkerton detective employed by the Pension Department, with Badge No. 11. Such is false, I having received a letter from that department with information to publish him as a fraud. W. J. JAHN, Valle Mines, March 11, 1892.
