George Jason
November 28, 1878
Our Correspondents - Lacon
We have had another sorrowful example of the criminal folly of the carrying of fire arms by those whose business does not require the use of such weapons. On Wednesday night of last week young William Pyle was at the residence of Mrs. John Jason, three or four miles northeast of Lacon. He and several members of the Jason family were engaged in a sham Indian fight, in which they made passes at each other with knives, revolvers, etc. In the sport, young Pyle pointed his revolver at George Jason and pulled the trigger, when the cartridge exploded; the ball glazing the jaw of young Jason and entering and lodging in his breast from which his right arm immediately became paralyzed, and from which he died on Thursday evening. Young Jason was about 22 years of age, and a sober, industrious young man, and was possessed of an uncommonly kind and generous heart. His untimely death is deeply regretted by the whole community. Although the tragedy was unquestionably the result of an accident, yet young Pyle is justly censured in unmeasured terms by the whole community, as it is said that the revolver had other charges in it at the time of the accident, which although perhaps unknown to young Pyle, the fact that he used it without knowing that it was not loaded, was to use the mildest term the grossest piece of criminal carelessness. Our personal safety is of too vital importance to us to admit of our being constantly kept in jeopardy by having loaded revolvers flourished in our faces upon every corner. …. In this case the father of young Pyle, who is a very worthy man, and deeply feels the sorrow of this accident, has the sympathy of the whole community, but the boy has not and does not deserve it.

Mrs. Eliza Johnson
Taken From the Marshall County Telegraph
December 13, 1866
We learn with painful sadness of the death by typhoid fever, of Mrs. Eliza Johnson, wife of Julius Johnson at Brownsville, Kansas, in September last. For many years, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were residents of Whitefield, and were highly esteemed by all who were acquainted with them. Mrs. Johnson was an affectionate wife and mother, a kind neighbor, and warm and strong in her friendship toward others. There old friends and neighbors in this section will sympathize deeply with the family in this separation. Earthly ties must be severed, this we all know, but oh how unwilling are we to give up those we love when the time comes. True it is that we must pass away, and the links of affection that cling even to the world beyond, are the chords and influx that would incite us to pure dives and to a religion that will carry us to the good and pure in the spiritual world.

Isaac Joles was born in Galena, Kas., in October, 1890.

He died of dropsical effusion Feb. 18, and the funeral conducted by Rev. Rae W. Martin, was held on Saturday, Feb. 20, interment in the Henry cemetery in charge of C. C. Doran, mortician. The young man (he was but 24 years old) had the reputation of being a good, honest, industrious fellow, who had he lived might have had years of pleasure and usefulness to have lived and enjoyed. But death hath not respect for age, talent or condition in life and selects his victims whomsoever and wheresoever he wills.

Obituary
The subject of this sketch, Zenanna Amelia Ranney, was born in Canton, Ill., March 25, 1836. She came to Henry in 1851, residing with her sisters, Mrs. J. L. Jones and Mrs. A. M. Pool, until her marriage with J. H. Jones, which occurred, November 9th, 1853. She and her husband untied with the Christian church in this place, December, 1853, and were both baptized by immersion in the Illinois river, January 1, 1854. Her connection with that society continued until 1876, at which time she changed her relations, by uniting with the Presbyterian church. …. She was ever an active worker in church and Sabbath school, which, with her social duties, drew largely on her time and strength; but never to the neglect of her home and her family, where she reigned supreme by love; a model helpmeet. The disease, which has finally robbed this community of one whose memory will ever be fragrant, began its incipient approaches about seven years ago, and human skill, nor loving hands could stay its ravages. ….. The funeral services at the residence, conducted by Rev. J. J. Bunnell, was largely attended, every condition in life being represented, while the procession to the cemetery was exceedingly imposing, testifying the sympathy and sorrow of the community.
