M. W. Heinsohn, a former resident of
Columbus, this county, where he was employed as a druggist, later of
Markham , died at Robstown Friday, and the remains were brought to
this place Sunday afternoon for internment, the funeral taking place
Monday morning at 10 o’clock at the Masonic cemetery, the local
lodge of Masons having charge of the ceremonies. Mr. Heinsohn was
united in marriage a few years ago to Miss Lydia Bock, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Chas. Bock, and one of the most popular young ladies of that
section. She and one child survive. Mr. Heinsohn was a gentleman of
fine qualities, honest, upright, a thorough gentleman, a true friend
and brother, a devoted husband and father, and his death is deeply and
sincerely deplored by a large circle of friends. Our heartfelt
sympathy goes out to the bereaved family.

A death that was sincerely regretted
by all our people occurred last Sunday morning, when young Herbert G.
Heinsohn was called to his eternal home. This young man, a son of O.
G. Heinsohn and wife, prominent people of the Fayetteville section,
came here six weeks ago to accept a clerkship in the I. Lauterstein
dry goods store. Although a perfect stranger at the time of his
arrival, his gentlemanly deportment and earnest, close attention to
business soon won for him a warm spot in the hearts of his employer
and our citizens generally, Monday morning of last week he was taken
ill, grew worse rapidly, and in less than two days' time it was
evident that his illness was of a serious character. His parents and
other loved ones were sent for and came over to be at his bedside.
They, together with able physicians and many kind friends and
neighbors, labored faithfully hour after hour to check the disease,
which had fastened its tentacles upon the noble young man, but it was
all in vain. God had willed otherwise, and at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning after a week's battle, the poor, tired spirit gave up the
fight and Death stepped in to claim the victory. The body was tenderly
prepared for burial, and accompanied by two close friends of the
family, was carried to Fayetteville for interment, the family and a
number of Weimar friends going through the country in autos and
meeting the body at Fayetteville . Although a comparative stranger
here, this young man had gained many strong friends. He was so upright
in his deportment, so honest, honorable and sincere, that he won
friends wherever he went. At his boarding place he at once became a
general favorite, and Mrs. Chandler and the boarders vied with one
another during his illness to see that he lacked for no attention
which they could give him, many of them sitting up night after night
by his bedside. A beautiful floral offering was purchased by them and
sent to Fayetteville to be placed upon his grave. In the death of this
most estimable, fine young son, Mr. and Mrs. Heinsohn have the deep
and heartfelt sympathy of all our people.

The Baptist church was very filled
Wednesday afternoon with a host of relatives and friends who came to
witness the wedding ceremony of Mr. Leon F. Baar and Miss Roxie
Garrett. The edifice had been prettily decorated for the occasion with
pot plants and evergreens, and presented a beautiful scene. Rev. J. E.
Stack, the Baptist pastor, performed the ceremony in an impressive
manner. Amid the strains of the ever beautiful, inspiring wedding
march, the young couple took their places before the minister, and he,
in a few well chosen words, pronounced them husband and wife. After
receiving the hearty congratulations of many friends, the happy couple
entered an auto and were soon speeding toward their pretty bungalow
home, located near Plum , Fayette county, on the extensive Baar farm,
which the forethought of the groom had provided in advance for his
fair bride. These young people are well and favorably known throughout
this section, where the greater part of their lives has been spent.
Mr. Baar is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Baar, a fine young man,
energetic, of exemplary habits, and possessing fine business
qualifications. He has loved farm life always, and made arrangements
recently whereby he will superintend the large farm of his parents, as
well as till many acres himself. The bride is a lovely girl, one who
has ever proven a welcome companion in every circle. Kind-hearted,
solicitous for the welfare of others, a model young lady in every
respect, we feel that Leon has indeed won a prize to be proud of. She
is a daughter of Mrs. M. E. Garrett, and is exceedingly popular with
all our people. The Mercury's heartiest, best wishes will ever be
their's. [Transcribed

Duelists Die Friends
Texas Men Shake Hands When They Find Their Wounds Are Fatal
El Paso, Tex., June 6 – Two men are dead and another is dying as
the result of another Texas duel last night at Eagle Lake, when City
Marshal Kinard and Will McDow shot each other to death and Pierce
Hammond, a bystander, received a mortal wound. Kinard
was trying to quiet McDow, when McDow shot him through. Kinard
fell dying, but raised himself and shot McDow. As
he fell, McDow said:
“We are both done for, but let us die friends.” They
shook hands and died.[Contributed by The History of Today]
