HOWE, BESSIE

The Atchison Champion, August 20, 1878

Little Bessie, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Howe, died last evening at eight o'clock, of pneumonia. She was a little flaxen haired blue-eyed fairy, so bright and full of bouyancy, that it is hard to believe that God, in his wise and infinite mercy, should think it best to take her away. Their eldest born, she was peculiarly near and dear to them; her little life had been watched and guarded with tender care, and the earnest adoration of her father and rich love of her mother had been bestowed daily upon her from the time the tiny flower came to gladden their existence, until the cruel and relentless hand of death laid its icy baby spirit home to a better land. The funeral takes place from the residence of the family at four o'clock today. Note: See obit of Ned Howe

HULL, DANA C.

At Atchison, Kansas, Oct. 25, of brain fever, Dana C. Hull, aged 34 years, formerly of this city.

Death of Dana C. Hull

A telegram from Atchinson, Kansas, announced the death of Dana C. Hull, at 9 a.m. yesterday, of brain fever. A previous dispatch had informed the friends of his dangerous illness, and Mr. Asa V. Hutchins, and the latter's mother started by first train for Kansas.

Overwook is thought to have induced the disease of which he died. He was a man of excelent business and social qualities, and generally prosperous in wheatever he undertook. He was engaged in a very large and increasing business in Kansas, which he had built up by that remarkable energy, executiveness and boldness which has always given him success. In all the relations of life he was a prominent and useful character, and he contributed liberally of his influence and purse in every public, feasible measure, both in church, political, municipal and private good, and in all these he ever took a lively interest. He done business in Henry many years, which we may say laid the foundation for a successful business on a more extended scale elsewhere. He held the office of supervisor several terms, was alderman of ward 2 in this city, and held other important trusts with alike acceptance and ability.

He had a good constitution, a robust frame, with the apparant guarantee of a long hold on this life, and under ordinary circumstances would undoubtedly have lived the full time. But death cometh unawares, and our lamented friend was not without the pale of dissolution. Thus two of our best and successful merchants - A. N. Dickinson and D. C. Hull - leaving Henry for larger fields, b the ordinary diseases of the country have been taken from earth in sod of each drops the tears of regard and affection of a long train of friends and business connections. Mr. H. had been a Master Mason in good standing for many years, and we believe a member of the Presbyterian church. The body will be brought to Henry, and will probably reach here on Saturday. If so, the funeral obsequies will take place on Sunday. (Henry Republican, October 26, 1871, submitted by Nancy Piper)
