CAMP - Samuel Willington -- Died at Chicago, March 22 of heart disease, Samuel Willington Camp, aged 23 years, 2 months 18 days
The telegraph of Thursday a.m. of last week bore the sad tidings to the friends in Henry and elsewhere of the sudden death of Samuel Willington Camp at Chicago, on the night of March 22d, at 11 p.m. He was taken ill Tuesday afternoon while riding with a friend, and so violent was the attack that he was taken into a dwelling close at hand, a physician summoned and the sick man kindly cared for; but he rapidly grew worse, vomiting blood ensued, and as nothing could be done for him he gradually sank until death ended his sufferings in the hands of strangers, being sick but 30 hours. The coroner of Chicago was notified of his death, and a verdict was rendered "Death by heart disease."
Samuel was born in Henry, January 4, 1853, in the room over the store now occupied by Mr. Ed Kline as a gun shop, known since as "Morse's gallery." His boyhood days were spent in Henry, and his many social qualities, pleasant address and tender years, won him a warm place in the esteem and affection of all our citizens. His opportunities were good, and doting parents done all in their power for an only son. His father dying six years ago, a considerable estate was inherited, and with a portion of it he embarked in the drug business at Chicago with his brother-in-law, Mr. J. Finley Baker. This not proving remunerative, the store was sold to other parties and the partnership dissolved. Thence Samuel, for information, studied law points one year, with an able lawyer friend of his in Iowa, supplementing that with the expectation of going through a full course at Rush medical college, at which he was a student at the time of his death, and had been for upwards of two years.
The estate of Mr. S. W. Camp consists of $24,000 in notes and real estate securities. Also a farm consisting of 380 acres near Gilman, containing two dwellings, an artesian well, orchards, etc., well enclosed with hedge fence. Also an undivided 10 acre lot at Chicago, and 22 city lots at Melrose, in suburban Chicago. He had also three horses, a new carriage, and a large amount of other property not necessary to enumerate here. He had also a paid up life insurance of $10,000 on the New York Mutual. This estate doubtless goes to his sister, Mrs. J. Finley Baker, the only surviving member of the family.
Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Snider responded to the telegram, and took charge of the remains at Chicago. The body was covered with a black satin shroud, very fine and white vest, and encased in a rich metallic casket, the top so arranges as to show the full length figure of the deceased. Delivered at the C., R. I. & P. depot, the cost was $205. The body arrived at Henry Saturday morning, and the funeral took place at the Presbyterian church, Sunday morning, the services being conducted by Rev. John Winn, from the text; Psalms 1xvi 10. "Be still and learn that I am God." The pall bearers were associates of Mr. Camp during his life time, consisting of Mr. George Guyer, Mr. L. E. Ellsworth, Mr. B. Crane, Mr. H. Ketchum, Mr. William Scholes and Mr. Lucian Eulver. The church was thronged with sympathizing relatives ant friends. The services were unusually impressive and the singing of the choir very sweet.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Finely Baker, the latter the sister of the deceased, came on from Philadelphia, reaching Chicago in time to accompany the remains to Henry. At the funeral, Mrs. Baker was so overcome with grief that she had to be taken from the church, and was very kindly cared for at the residence of Mr. Frank Kleinhenz. To her the affliction is very great, for within six years, she has followed to the grave a father, a mother, a birdling of her own household, and now her only brother. Those present from abroad at the funeral besides those already mentioned were Mrs. N. Griffin and Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Griffin of Castleton; Miss Jennie Ward of Wyoming, Mr. Tapping and Miss Bell Tapping of Peoria, and Samuel Snider, who has spent the winter at Scranton, Pa.
Of the causes for Mr. Camp's death, just one word need be said. It pains us to know that he had to die at so early an age. But Chicago life is intoxicating, and one is drawn into the maelstrom from whence escape is impossible, hardly e'er he is aware of it. Samuel had noble qualities of head and heart, and we drop a tear over the grave now so fresh and green from youthful indiscretion - that it must be so. The lesson of warning is, shun the short comings of others, for we are poor human nature likewise. Let us beware, lest we fall - choosing that better part "that shall not be taken from us."

CARTER -- Eugene Carter, one of the best known billiard experts in the world, died at his home in Chicago, Jan. 2. Lung trouble, following a severe cold contracted last July, was the immediate cause of his death. No player perhaps was better known among billiard players on both sides of the Atlantic than Carter. He was a brilliant manipulator of the ivory balls and was a remarkable three-cushion player, although he preferred balk line for big matches. Carter followed the game from childhood. He was born in Toledo forty-eight years ago and began to play his favorite game when sixteen years old. As far back as 1873 Carter was known for his ability in billiards. He was familiarly known as “You Know Me Gene,” because he never refused a match.

COOK - Mrs. Minnie Cook and infant
At Chicago, Dec. 2, of heart disease, Minnie, wife of J. Lewis Cook, formerly of Henry. Also an infant son buried with the mother. Interment at Snachwine.
Snachwine - On Saturday last the morning train brought from Chicago J. Lewis Cook, his two daughters Clara and Viola, with all that remained of the dear wife and mother and infant son, she having died suddenly of heart disease on the morning of the 2d inst. Mr. Cook, son of Wm. F. Cook formerly of Henry, went to Chicago after the close of the war, where he married Miss Minnie Blake an English lady, who was loved by all who knew her, and who filled the place of wife and mother second to none. It has been Mr. Cook's sad duty since his residence in Chicago to bring the remains of six members of their family for burial (his father and two sisters having been buried in our cemetery before they left) and there were his only brother Dewitt C. Cook, two half brother Bonham boys, then a beautiful little daughter, and lastly the wife and companion, which is a crushing blow; his grief and anguish was seemingly too great for utterance. The funeral took place at the "Church of Christ", Elder Parker conducting the services on Sabbath at 11 a.m., and those who looked into that beautiful casket and seen those beautiful features of marble whiteness (the mother with her babe folded lovingly in her arms, as if it was too precious to leave behind,) will not soon forget the impression made upon them. Lewis having spent his childhood days in this vicinity, has very many warm friends who sympathize with him, and would were it possible, do anything for him to assuage his grief; but who can only commend him to God "who doeth all things well."

CUNNINGHAM, Ann Garrity -- died Chicago Illinois Dec 22, 1890:
Mrs. Ann Cunningham, widow of the late Henry Cunningham, died Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the residence of her daughter, Miss Annie Cunningham, No. 247 East Superior Street.
Mrs. Cunningham, whose maiden name was Garrity, was born in Westport County Mayo Ireland Feb 2, 1813. The family were of the ancient Irish stock, and with almost the entire race were compelled to migrate into the wilds of Connaught by Cromwell during the middle of the seventeenth century. In 1833 the family, consisting of father, mother, three sisters and four brothers came to this country, landing at St Johns, N.B. In 1835 the subject of this sketch visited some relatives in Boston, when she met, renwing the attachment of their youth, her late husband, Henry Cunningham. Marrying the same year, they moved to Chicago in 1836 and went to live at Waukegan in 1850, returning to Chicago in 1857, where she has lived continually ever since.
Mrs. Cunningham was well known and highly respected by all of the old settlers. For thirty-eight years she has been a devoted member of the Church of the Holy Name on North State street. She was quiet and unostentatious in daily life, but it was nevertheless a life devoted to the highest Christian charity, never letting her left hand know what her right hand was doing. She was a member of the Married Ladies Sodality and of the third Order of St. Francis. She was ill for two months. Her life went out amid all the Christian consolation of the Catholic Church. She leaves three daughters to mourn her loss, Eliza, wife of Mortimer Scanlan, Mary and Annie Cunningham, and a large number of devoted friends. Her funeral will take place at 10:30 o'clock to the Church of the Holy Name, thence to Calvary Cemetery [Inter-Ocean, December 23, 1890 - source #122]
