COOPER,
MARY P. |
Barton
County Progress, Died
of throat disease, near Doylesport, November 20th, 1882, Miss
Mary P. Cooper, aged 16 years, 7 months. Mary was a kind and
affectionate sister, she bore her suffering with patience and
resignation and died in the triumph of a bright home with Jesus. The
cold dark river had no terrors for her. Before crossing the dark river
of death, she said to her weeping sister, “ I am willing to go and you
ought to be willing to give me up. Everything is bright to me and I want
you to meet me in heaven. Tell my brothers and sisters it is the request
of their dying sister to meet her in heaven”. Just before dying she
reached out to her brothers and sisters and friends and begged them to
kiss her good bye, then peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, the same sweet
smile still hovered around her lips, she was wont to meet you with in
life. Was it a smile of greeting to the angels that came to meet her?
Her sun went down in the bloom of her life; but her light has not gone
out forever. It is smiling beyond the stars, where there is no more
darkness or death. She will live long in the memory of those who knew
and loved her best. May the God of grace comfort the grief stricken
hearts of her sisters and brothers and relatives, Weep not dear sisters
and brothers, but rather rejoice that your sister is free from the cares
and threats of this life, and is walking the “golden streets of the
New Jerusalem”. Sisters and brothers, in her love you have a strong
attachment drawing you to heaven. Will you heed the request of your dear
sister and meet her there. One by one our loved ones are entering the
kingdom of heaven. Oh may there not be one missing—but may we meet an
unbroken family in our Father’s home.
A Friend. |

GASH,
UNKNOWN |
Barton
County Progress, Nevada---Before
daylight this morning, two young men, named Gash and Parker, of Schell
City, this county, started home from a dance at El Dorado Springs, about
22 miles east of here, in Cedar County. When about three miles from
there the hack in which they were riding struck a stump or rock and
turned over. Young Gash was thrown forward into a ditch or gully, and
one of the horses fell on him. The horse fell on his back in the ditch
and could not get up, and Parker was not able to move the animal, which
held Gash under him. Parker had to go three miles back to El Dorado to
procure help, when the party returned and relieved him he was almost
speechless and died in a few minutes. The deceased was the only son and
support of a widowed mother living in Schell City. Schell City News |

SINEX,
ELIZABETH A. |
Barton
County Progress, It
is seldom that we are called on to announce a death so sudden and
unexpected as that of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth A. Sinex, wife of Dr.
Sinex of this place, and mother of Will, who is so well and favorably
known as the gentlemanly assistant of Capt. Emery at the Post Office.
One hour before her death she was enjoying her usual health and was
attacked with a fainting spell. In the absence of her husband, Dr. Van
Meter was called, but she was beyond the point where human skill could
aid her. Mrs. Sinex had resided here about a year. She had many friends,
was a devout Christian and a member of the Christian church. Her remains
were taken to her old home in Indiana, accompanied by her husband and
son. |

Barton counties. He was buried near Cedarville by the Masonic Fraterinty,
the procession that followed his remains to the grave being over one
mile long, the largest funeral that was ever witnessed in the southwest. |
