Mrs. EVANS Suddenly Stricken

This entire community was grievously shocked Tuesday when it learned of the very sudden death of Mrs. Catherine EVANS, wife of J. Robert EVANS. Mrs. EVANS was apparently in excellent health and was calling on her daughter, Mrs. R. W. SCHROEDER who has been in poor health for some time. Another daughter, Mrs. F. E. SPILKER came in and while they were enjoying the little family gathering Mrs. EVANS was stricken. Her head suddenly sank to her breast and her body began to collapse, when her daughter Mrs. SPILKER caught her. Doctor MOCKBEE was instantly called but was unable to do anything for her and in about ten or fifteen minutes afterwards, she was dead. No reason can be assigned except that there was some vital heart trouble. It is almost certain that the stroke destroyed all sensibility and that she never knew any pain or suffering from that moment. All of her children live in town, except a son, Hugh, who resides in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Mrs. EVANS is well known throughout the county as she, for many years has been the popular hostess of the Commercial Hotel and before that time had charge of the Jefferson. The funeral services will be at the Union Church at 2:30 p.m. today (Thursday) and interment in the Hillsboro cemetery.

Obituary

Martin W. KERCKHOFF was born near Pevely, MO, June 23, 1852 and died in St. Louis July 29^th, 1915. He was the son of Casper H. KERCKHOFF and his wife, Louise nee BEADER. He married Henrietta KATTELMAN, and of the marriage seven children were born, two of whom survive, Daniel and Viola. He was a member of the Ev. Lutheran Church and was always a consistent earnest Christian.

In 1887, he moved to St. Louis and engaged in business and the Pevely Dairy Co. now conducts this business, which has grown from the very beginning until it amounts to about a million dollars annually. His company is recognized for the honesty of dealing with patrons and in all tests made by state and city inspectors, the products of his company have always scored high. One of the finest barns of the middle west is the property of the company, and is located on the farm formerly owned by her father, Casper H. KERCKHOFF and is under the management of his brother, ex-County Judge Wm. C. KERCKHOFF. He was buried at Sandy cemetery on Saturday, July 31^st. A special train on the Frisco brought down over 200 people and the old friends, relatives and neighbors in the county turned out an immense crowd to pay the last sad honors.

Obituary

The funeral of John W. McGUIRE at Sulphur Springs, July 29, aged 78 removed an honored citizen who has been in the service of the Iron Mountain R.R. for nearly 40 years, first on a bridge gang and for 30 years in charge of a water tank. Five years ago on account of age, he was transferred to an easier position at Charleston, MO. He was three years a soldier in the 31^st Indiana Regiment, was in Shiloh and many other battles. He was the father of Roland McGUIRE and Mrs. BOLLINGER of Sulphur Springs.

Mrs. McQUIRE and a number of grand children of the WALLACE and STEIN families remain to whom his memory is precious and an inspiration to efficient loyalty. “Soldier, rest, thy warefare o’er.”

Bids on Arcadian Way

Wm. J. KNORPP, Successful bidder.

Bids were received Tuesday afternoon by highway engineer, Harry D. GRIFFITH, for the construction of the two and one half mile gap in the DeSoto and Bonne Terre road. Wm. J. KNORPP of DeSoto was the lowest bidder for the entire work at ten thousand two hundred and forty dollars. The specifications are strict and call for an excellent road and in as much as the material to make the road has to be hauled at least two miles the price seems to be reasonable.

The completion of this road will give a continuous rock road from St. Louis to the Arcadia Valley and eventually will be connected up with roads reaching into all the principal counties of South East Missouri down to Cape Girardeau.

The bid was accepted by the County Court and a contract will be entered into with the DeSoto Grading and Construction Co., which company Mr. KNORPP represented. Bond will be required in double the amount of the bid. This makes certain the completion of the gap.

Ball at Byrnesville

Saturday night August 14^th will witness a gala event at Crean’s Grove in Byrnesville when the grand ball which was postponed from July 31^st will be held. The Dramatic Club is fortunate in procuring the fine band from St. Louis which furnished the music for the July 4^th picnic, so that if good music and a fine new dance floor count for anything, the event should prove immensely attractive. During the night refreshments will be served by the young ladies of the club, consisting of ice cream, lemonade, coffee, sandwiches and soda. The floor will be under the able and experienced management of Sam PENZ acting for the Dramatic Club.
