Fulton County Indiana Obituaries 1942 FULTON COUNTY INDIANA OBITUARIES 1942 Friday, January 2, 1942 Mrs. Lura Etta DAVIDSON, 66, former resident of this city, passed away Thursday afternoon at her home, 1619 Mariette street, South Bend. Mrs. Davidson had been in ill health for the last number of years, it was stated. The deceased, who removed from Rochester to the up-state city 24 years ago, perhaps will be better remembered as the wife of Louis W. DAVIDSON, who operated a grocery store in the building now occupied by the Snapp Grocery, on East Ninth street. Mrs. Davidson was born in Miami county on January 22nd, 1875. Her marriage to Louis W. Davidson was solemnized in this city on June 9th, 1905. The survivors are four children, Glenn [DAVIDSON] and Paul DAVIDSON and Mrs. Donald BAKER, of South Bend, and Mrs. Kenneth ABEFE, of Buchannan, Mich. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon, one o’clock, at the Forest Hay Funeral Home, 1201 South Michigan street, South Bend. Rev. Clayton BROWNE, pastor of the First Baptist church of South Bend, will be in charge of the services. Grave-side services will be held in the Rochester I.O.O.F. cemetery at approximately three o’clock Sunday afternoon. The body will lie in state at the Hay Funeral Home up until the hour of the funeral, it was stated. Rochester relatives this afternoon received word of the death of Mrs. Margaret POST which occurred Friday morning in the Kelly hospital at Argos, Ind. The deceased’s husband is Glen POST, a drug salesman, who resides in Argos. Details concerning the passing of Mrs. Post and the funeral arrangements were not available as this issue of The News-Sentinel went to press. Pulaski county’s first highway fatality of 1942 Thursday morning at two o’clock claimed the life of Kenneth Raymond REINHOLT, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy E. REINHOLT, of near Kewanna. The Kewanna youth was killed instantly by an auto while walking along a country road near Monterey. Driver of the auto which struck Reinholt was Herman HARTMAN, 20, a friend of Reinholt’s, who stated that lights from an oncoming auto blinded him and he did not see the youth at the side of the road until the accident occurred. Coroner Harry QUERRY, Medaryville, reported that Reinholt’s death was caused by a skull fracture and two fractured legs. Reinholt’s early-morning walk was caused by the report of an auto accident in which a friend, Glen SIMPSON, of Knox, was involved. Reinholt and Winfred HARTMAN, brother of the driver of the car which killed Reinholt, went to investigate the accident and when they arrived at the scene, they found that Simpson had already left in another auto. The two youths and several others succeeded in righting Simpon’s vehicle back on the highway. Reinholt attempted to drive his friend’s auto back to Monterey, but had gone only a short distance when the car stalled. He then was forced to walk on to Monterey, when he was struck. Surviving the Kewanna youth are the parents, three brothers, Darrell [REINHOLT], Robert [REINHOLT] and Gene [REINHOLT]; six sisters, Virginia [REINHOLT], Lucille [REINHOLT], Phyllis [REINHOLT], Wilma [REINHOLT], Maxine [REINHOLT] and Ruth Ann [REINHOLT]; and the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry REINHOLT, near Monterey; and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence HOOVER, near Pulaski. Funeral rites will be held from the St. Ann’s Catholic church at Monterey, 9:30 o’clock Saturday morning. Rev. Leo BREITENBACH will officiate and burial will be made in the St. Ann’s cemetery, near Monterey. The body was taken to the Fry-Lange funeral home in Winamac and will be removed later to the home of the grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Henry Reinholt, near Monterey, where friends may call until the hour of the funeral. James Robert MIDDAUGH, 15, of Walnut, southeast of Argos, was killed instantly by a hit-and-run driver, Steve PARKEVICH, 26, tavern proprietor of Logansport, on U. S. 31, three miles south of Argos, at 4:30 o’clock last night. The youth died from a fractured skull and a broken right leg soon after being struck. Middaugh was riding a bicycle on the highway at the time of the mishap. Parkevich was arrested in Logansport after he appeared at the Logan police station and stated that he wanted to report a mishap, in which a car had struck him and not stopped. Logansport police had heard radio reports of the Argos accident and suspected that Parkevich might be involved. Parkevich was badly shocked when he heard of the boy’s death and was taken to Plymouth to await hearing. James Robert, son of Henry and Edna MIDDAUGH, was born in Tippecanoe township, Marshall county, in 1926. He was a freshman in Argos high school and a member of the Boy Scouts. Survivors are the parents; one brother, Raymond [MIDDAUGH], Argos; and three sisters, Mrs. Helen BRIGGS, Plymouth; Pauline May MIDDAUGH and Mary Louise MIDDAUGH, both at home. The body has been taken to the Grossman funeral home in Argos. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon, two o’clock in Argos. Rev. Morris BERRY, of Tippecanoe, will officiate and burial will be made in the Maple Grove cemetery, near Argos. Mrs. Cora ULERICK 72, who resided four miles south of Fulton, died at 10:30 Wednesday night in the Cass County hospital, Logansport, following a 10 weeks’ illness. Death was attributed to peritonitis. She was admitted to the hospital 10 days ago. The deceased was born in Aubbeenaubbee township on September 15, 1869, the daughter of Abe and Jane MONESMITH, and had spent almost her entire life in Bethlehem township, Cass county.

Survivors are the husband, one daughter, Mrs. Mae ATCHESON, west of Fulton; two sons, Frank [ULERICK], Kokomo; Lawrence [ULERICK], near Twelve Mile; one brother, Jay MONESMITH, Bremerton, Wash.; 11 grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

The body has been removed to the home south of Fulton, where friends may call until the hour of the funeral. Saturday, January 3, 1942 Mrs. Malissa BAGGERLY, 71 years of age, died at 4:45 o’clock Friday afternoon at her home, three miles north of Fulton. Death was due to complications and resulted after an 18 months’ illness. Malissa [SHINN], daughter of Benjamin and Charlette SHINN, was born January 25, 1870, in Fulton county, Ill., and had resided in Liberty township, this county, for 15 years. She was united in marriage on September 28, 1893, to Charles BAGGERLY, in a marriage solemnized at East Lynn, Ill. Survivors are the husband; one son, Clifford BAGGERLY, north of Fulton; two brothers, Charles SHINN, of Idaho; Frank SHINN, of Wisconsin; and two grandchildren. Funeral services will be conducted Sunday afternoon at two o’clock from the Fulton Baptist church. Rev. Franklin ARTHUR will officiate and burial will be made in the Fulton cemetery. The body will be removed to the residence Saturday afternoon, when friends may call until the hour of the funeral. John MOSS, 81, a resident of Twelve Mile, died at 12 o’clock noon Friday at the Masonic home in Franklin, Ind., due to a heart attack. He had moved to the Franklin home six weeks ago. Born May 15, 1860, in Cass county, he had spent all his life in Cass and Fulton counties. He was united in marriage on December 26, 1893, to Dillie SCHWENK, who preceded him in death on April 28, 1936. The deceased was a member of the Fulton Baptist church and the Fulton Masonic lodge.

  • Public Danger
    DAWSON.36.6.4 (Do Not Delete) 8/19/2015 9:43 AM PUBLIC DANGER James Dawson† This Article provides the first account of the term “public danger,” which appears in the Grand Jury Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Drawing on historical records from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Article argues that the proper reading of “public danger” is a broad one. On this theory, “public danger” includes not just impending enemy invasions, but also a host of less serious threats (such as plagues, financial panics, jailbreaks, and natural disasters). This broad reading is supported by constitutional history. In 1789, the first Congress rejected a proposal that would have replaced the phrase “public danger” in the proposed text of the Fifth Amendment with the narrower term “foreign invasion.” The logical inference is that Congress preferred a broad exception to the Fifth Amendment that would subject militiamen to military jurisdiction when they were called out to perform nonmilitary tasks such as quelling riots or restoring order in the wake of a natural disaster—both of which were “public dangers” commonly handled by the militia in the early days of the Republic. Several other tools of interpretation—such as an intratextual analysis of the Constitution and an appeal to uses of the “public danger” concept outside the Fifth Amendment—also counsel in favor of an expansive understanding of “public danger.” The Article then unpacks the practical implications of this reading. First, the fact that the Constitution expressly contemplates “public danger” as a gray area between war and peace is itself an important and unexplored insight.

  • "The Butte Affair Reviewed," by Eugene V. Debs
    The Butte Affair Reviewed by Eugene V. Debs Published in The American Socialist [Chicago], vol. 1, no. 3, whole no. 91 (Aug. 1, 1914), pp. 1, 4. The assault upon the Butte Miners’ Union, the wrecking of its hall with dynamite, and the looting of its safe by its own members, coupled with the riot which followed between the two factions into which the union had been torn, egged on by a vicious element im- ported for that purpose, has made June 23 [1914] a memorable date in the annals of the labor movement. There is much in this deplorable affair that is still wrapped in mystery, but enough is known to warrant the general conclusion that the Butte Miners’ Union has long been marked for destruction and that its enemies have for months been conspiring to deliver the coup that should put an end to its existence. Has Decided Views. Since that fateful night at Butte which witnessed this brutal and disgraceful scene, this rioting among men who wear the union badge and call themselves brothers, and the wanton killing and maiming of innocent people, I have read everything in the way of a report which has been issued by the respective factions and which has found its way into the public print, and I confess that I am as yet unable to account for this tragic and inexcusable affair. But I have some decided views upon the matter which I will now proceed to express in the briefest manner possible. First of all, I know Butte Miners’ Union and am familiar with its record from the beginning.

Sponsored By: Boise City, Offi ce of the Mayor Byron Johnson, Fourth Judicial District Bar Association Idaho Supreme Court Justice (retired) Ernest A. Hoidal, Attorney at Law Spontaneous Productions Inc. Paul and Susie Headlee 2007 Marks the 100th Anniversary of the “Trial of the Century” In 1907 the nationʼs attention turned to Idahoʼs capital city where newsmen anxiously followed the eraʼs most sensational trial. The leaders of the powerful Western Federation of Miners labor union, William “Big Bill” Haywood, George Pettibone, and Charles Moyer stood accused of hiring Harry Orchard to assassinate former Idaho Governor Frank Steunenberg outside his Caldwell home by detonating a bomb attached to his gate. Many colorful players and events set the stage for the trial. When Orchard implicated the union leaders, the State of Idaho acted swiftly having the union leaders taken into custody by the Pinkerton Detective Agency and “extraditing” them from Denver to Boise by way of a late-night train ride in what had the appearance of a kidnapping. Why was Governor Steunenberg assassinated? At the end of the 19th century America was divided by conflicts between capital and labor that many feared would lead to outright war between the classes. Wealthy business owners, bosses and their agents clashed, at times violently, with workers and the unions that represented them. Abuses abounded on both sides. The rich and powerful, and the poor and frustrated were on a collision course, with anarchy and Socialism among the possible outcomes.

In 1918 he was elected to represent his district in the state legislature on the republican ticket, the nomination 'coming to him unsolicited. The chairman of the state republican committee wrote him, stating that if he would accept the nomination it would be equivalent to his elec­ tion. There is no man in the state who stands higher with all classes, especially with the laboring classes and railroad men, as they have implicit confidence in his ability and integrity. He has justified their faith by the excellent service which he has rendered to Idaho as a member of the general assembly. He was a delegate to the Trainmen's convention held at Denver, Colorado, in 1902 and was a delegate to the convention of Railway Conductors held at Detroit, Michigan, in 1913. .He attended the convention of Railway Condutcors at Boston, Massachusetts, in the capacity of a visitor in 1910. He is an effective and earnest speaker, expressing himself forcefully and clearly, and his friends predict that he has not yet reached the heights to Which' he wlll attain politically. He gives thoughtful and earnest consideration to the vital problems coming up for settlement and does not hesitate to support any cause if he is a believer in its justice and worth.
