March 26, 1891, Thursday, Cassville Republican, Weekly Barry County Paper, Cassville, MO

Thomas Horrall, of Capps Creek, was visiting his father, Thomas Horrall, Sunday, who is very ill. Mr. Horrall is 73 years of age and the chances are heavily against him.

***

Died on March 13th 1901, at the home of her son, J. W. Boggess, at Viola, Missouri, Elizabeth Boggess, aged 68 years, 5 months, and 22 days, having been born, Oct 22, 1822, in Cape Girardeau Co., MO. She obeyed the gospel about age 37 years old and has ever since lived the life of a life of an upright and conscious Christian. She was conscious up to the hour of her death and gladly welcomed the home where she should depart this life, saying it would be the happiest exchange for life. Her last words were for all to be good, and at different things during her last sickness she told those around her not to weep for her but only be prepared to insure in that world where parting would be no more.

She leaves two children and two grand-children to mourn her departure, who are comforted only with the thought that the final inheritance is prompted to them who hold out faithful, and the blessing to those who die in the Lord.

***

Died, at his home near Washburn, March 20, 1891, John A. Daugherty, age 32 years. The remains were interred in the Washburn Cemetery, Saturday, Rev. H. G. Camper of the place conducing the services.

Beheaded: A heart rending accident happened at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the west end of the depot platform, which resulted in the instant death of seven-year-old Willie Frazier, a school boy, returned to his home from the school. In company with Elgy Howell and Jose Bricky he attempted to pass under a train of flat cars which had just come to a stop, but was prevented from doing, by the little girl. Just as the engine and train started west to pass over the switch the three children started to cross the track ahead of them, when Wiley Frazier stumped and fell, his body between the rails and his head across the rail. The switch engine and two cars passed over him, severing his head from the body and mangling the breast, neck and arms in a horrible manner. Engineer Mitchell discovered the cries of his playmates and almost instantly stopped the train, he found the boy beneath the wheels of the second car and pulled the dead body form the track.
