MORTUARY.

James C. CRAVER.
Died at his home in Jonesboro, Saturday, February 10, James CRAVER, aged 83 years, 11 months and 6 days.
The deceased was born in Rowan County, North Carolina, March 4, 1822. In 1827 he moved with his parents, Michael and Susanna CRAVER, to Illinois and on Dec. 27, 1827 he became a resident of Jonesboro. His father bought from John GRAMMER the farm which he occupied from that time until his death and where his son James had lived for 78 years, being located here in Jonesboro. In 1852 the deceased went to California and engaged in mining gold for a season. Then he returned to Jonesboro.
He never married but lived with his sister Malinda. He leaves one brother, Daniel in California and 3 sisters, Mrs. Saoma HESS, widow of John HESS, Sr., Mrs. Anna HILEMAN, widow of George HILEMAN and Miss Malinda CRAVER, who administered constantly to his wants and comforted him in his declining years. He was industrious and accumulated large landed interests to the management of which he gave his exclusive attention. He was a plain, simple, honest man with no taste for display or show. His convictions were peculiar and unusual, but he did not cover up or hide them. He was out spoken always. Death was somewhat sudden, although not wholly unexpected, for relatives of one of his years cannot hope for a life of much greater period. The funeral services were conducted by Elder J.N. EDMONDSON, Monday at the residence. Interment in Jonesboro cemetery.

Michael HEHENBERGER.
Died at his home in Kornthal 3 miles south of Jonesboro on Sunday Feb. 11, 1906 Michael HEHENBERGER, aged 70 years 7 months and 5 days. The deceased was born in Gumpolding, Austria, July 6, 1835. He emigrated to this country with his step father Michael BAUER, settling here at his present home. He was united in marriage on May 24, 1860 to Miss Mary BAUER who died 13 months after their marriage. He was married again in 1864 to Miss Anna ECKER. To this union were born 12 children, 6 daughters and 6 sons, 9 of whom died in infancy and only 3, Mrs. Geo. FOEHR, Mrs. W. THEISS and one son Fred, with their mother survive him. The deceased is so well and favorably known throughout the county it is useless to refer here to his many most excellent qualities. He has gone the way all mortals must go. He has left an influence for good which will always be felt in the Kornthal community, where for many years he engaged in the lumber business.
A brief service was conducted at the house at one o’clock Tuesday afternoon and then the remains were taken to Ebenezer church where the final services were conducted by Rev. O.MEHUERT, assisted by Revs. MATTHES, KIEST and HOYL. Interment in Ebenezer cemetery. He was a faithful member of the Ebenezer church and was known for his liberality in church matters and for his hospitality in the home.

TOBIAS DAVIS.
Died at his home a miles south of Anna, Feb. 9, Tobias DAVIS, aged 65 years, 5 months and 23 days. The funeral services were conducted by Elder J.A. CARWILE, at Big Creek Baptist church Sunday, followed by interment in the Big Creek cemetery. He was a member of Anna post G.A.R. and his comrades officiated at the service at the grave.
The deceased was married Nov. 15, 1865 to Mary A. MILLIS. Ten children were born to them. Seven of those with the bereaved wife are left to mourn the loss of a kinds and gentle father and a devoted husband.
He enlisted August 1862 as a volunteer in Company G 109th Illinois Infantry and was transferred to Co. E. 11th Illinois Infantry later on. In July, 1865, he was mustered out. He was a consistent member of the Baptist church at Big Creek and was ordained a deacon in April, 1899. He was a friend who was willing to sacrifice greatly, if need be, in assisting others who were worthy. He was a good neighbor and a good man.

The former were present when their sister passed away and Mrs. SPERRY arrived yesterday in time for the funeral.

In 1852, near Centralia, she united in marriage with E.H. FINCH who died at an advanced age. Of Feb. 21, 1894 she again united in marriage with Jacob HILEMAN who survives her. No children blessed either of these unions.

When the Presbyterian Church was organized in Anna she became one of its first members and remained a member until her death. She was a consistent Christian, a woman of unusual social and intellectual attainments and worthy of the high esteem and respect in which she was held by all who knew her. She hand(had) been in failing health for several years and during the past two years was unable to leave her home. The bereaved husband, brother and sisters have the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends.
