[Newspaper gossip tidbit]
Wm. Martin Sr., narrowly escaped serious injury one day last week. While
standing in a wagon the horse made a sudden start, throwing the old
gentleman violently to the ground. For a time it was feared he was seriously
hurt but at this writing is improving.

[Newspaper obit]
A Sudden Summons
Died- At her home in this city, on Monday afternoon, about two o'clock, Mrs.
Elizabeth Harris, wife of Mr. J. D. Harris, in the fifty-second year of her age.
Since last February, Mrs. Harris has been suffering with dropsy. On the day of
her sudden demise she seemed to manifest unusual exhuberance of spirits all
forenoon, and at the noon meal partook heartily of food, cleaned up the
dinner dishes, and between one and two o'clock, feeling somewhat fatigued,
repaired to the front room with her daughter, and lay down across the foot of
the bed, but in a little while she was discovered to be in a dying condition. A
near neighbor was at once called in, but life was soon extinct. Funeral
services were held at the house Tuesday afternoon, at two o'clock, at the
conclusion of which the remains were carried to Grapeville cemetery for
interment.
Mrs. Harris has been a resident of Earlington for eight or ten years past, and
while not a member of any visible church, was in early life christened in the
Presbyterian church, but has for many years leaned toward the Methodist faith
and doctrine. For several months past she has manifested a deep concern
regarding her future state, and has often been known to engage in earnest
prayer even in the dead hours of night. Let us hope that all is well with her
soul.
The scene was indeed a touching one, to thus see a once happy home so
bereft of wife and mother, as the grief-stricken husband, son and daughter
bowed around the casket of their dear departed one. May that God - our God
- who shapes the destinies of individuals as well as nations, bless and soothe
these troubled hearts, as He alone can do.

[Newspaper obit]
Died
Sterm - On Tuesday morning, Oct. 24, 1893, at 6 o'clock. Mrs. A. J. Sterm nee
Lottie Harvey, aged 26 years and 11 days.
Funeral Thursday at 2 p.m. from the residence of the parents of the deceased,
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Harvey, 1303 Governor Street. Friends invited

Another Citizen Passeth.
William Jeffery died at his home in this city on Thursday, Dec. [smudged]th
1906. aged 65 years and 7 months.
He was born in April, 1841, in the town of Camborne, Cornwall, England, and
came to this country with his parents when about 16 years of age. At the age
of 17 he went to California, and after a stay of nine years returned to Mineral
Point, where he remained the rest of his life. In October, 1868, Mr. Jeffrey
was married to Miss Kate Trevarrow, and of this union were born six children,
of which number the following survive: Mrs. Graham of Beloit, Pearl Jeffrey of
Battlesville, I. T., Mrs. Quirk, Mrs. Marr, Mrs. Harris and Miss Willa Jeffrey, all
of this city. Besides the children he leaves to mourn his departure, his
widow, two brothers and three sisters.
Mr. Jeffrey was a mason by trade, of quiet and unpretentious ways. The well
attended funeral on Sunday testified to the esteem in which the deceased
was held.

[Newspaper tidbit]
Wm. Martin Sr., was eighty years old on Thursday, Dec. 21, and in honor of
the occasion a number of his friends met at his home to help him spend the
day. The old gentleman is enjoying good health and is a spry as a man of
fifty years, being able to jump a broomstick four feet and three inches high on
his birthday just to show the boys how nimble he is. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are
held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends, both old and young.
