Deaths in the Barnard, Missouri, Newspapers Barnard Bulletin Newspapers Deaths in the Barnard, Missouri, Newspapers By Janet Hawley 1 Barnard Bulletin Newspapers Deaths in the Barnard, Missouri, Newspapers These abstractions are not word for word reprints of the articles. I put them in my own words to save space, but always included the names, dates and other genealogical information. I didn’t always include the person’s occupation, church affiliation, lodges, etc. The survivors are listed, but not usually their addresses or grandchildren’s names. I didn’t usually put in the place of the funeral, but always tried to put in the place of burial, if it was mentioned. There are a few newspapers that have not been microfilmed and they are on this first page. There is a tattered newspaper with the partial date, Friday, November, ???, but inside there was a Market Report from November 19, 1880 and there was an article about Governor-elect Crittenden, who took office in 1881. I could tell that Thanksgiving was past. The newspaper is in fragments; and most of it is missing, but I did find 3 deaths: Craig, Infant-We are sorry to announce the death of the babe of Mr. J.M. Craig. The funeral services occurred at Maryville on the 23 inst. Barnard Times-ca. Nov. 26, 1880. Turton, Henry-a short distance west of Stanberry, committed suicide last week by throwing himself into his stock well. Financial embarrassment supposed to have prompted the rash act. (from Stanberry Sentinel). Barnard Times-ca. Nov. 26, 1880. Baker, Alfred-(an article that has the first part missing) …brother, Alfred Baker, in the prime of his manhood, we are again reminded of our mortality and the uncertainty of life; therefore, Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Baker, we sustain the loss of a brother and friend, and his place must remain vacant in the lodge and the hearts of his family; Resolved, That we extend to his wife, children and friends our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement. Whereas, the remains of the deceased brother were left in our charge by his request, and taken to the Barnard cemetery for interment, Resolved, That we extend our thanks and gratitude to Barnard lodge and the many friends who assisted in the funeral, and for the hospitalities extended to the brothers from this place…signed W.H. Reynolds, C.F. Tilbury, S.C. Bond, Com. Barnard Times-ca. Nov. 26, 1880. Owens, Lena-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.W.

PETER COBER Of Kitchener, Ontario uRemember the days of old, consider the years of many genera­ tions: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee"-Deutfronomy 32 :7. THE BERLIN PRESS, BERLIN, PENNSYLVANIA, 1933. PUBLISHER'S STATEMENT The writer of this page wishes to inform those who are inter­ ested in the Cober Genealogy that the author, Rev. Alvin A. Cober, D. D., has had no pecuniary 1notive in publishing this volume. Those who are personally acquainted with him know that he has devoted several years of his time to this work., and that he has spent a considerable amount of his money for stationery, postage and travel without any prospects of reimbursement. Were it not for his interest in his ancestry, for his loyalty and devotion to his relatives, and for his willingness to render free services to all his friends and to future generations, we would not ha,~e at our command to-day these family records which we prize so highly and which will in­ crease in interest and in value as the years go by. Knowing that sales will be limited, it was necessary to have the book published as cheaply as possible. While cloth binding would be more desirable a paper cover has been used as a matter of economy. The book is offered for sale at $1.50 in the United States.

  • Road and Bridge Program
    Missouri ROAD AND BRIDGE PROGRAM 2022-2026 TABLE OF CONTENTS Message from the Director i Financial and Regional Planning Process Summary iii Reference Information iv Northwest District Construction Program 1 Northeast District Construction Program 14 Kansas City Construction Program 29 Central District Construction Program 47 St. Louis District Construction Program 67 Southwest Construction Program 90 Southeast Construction Program 116 Statewide Summary Reports 148 Operations and Maintenance Summary 150 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR The citizens of Missouri own a tremendous asset – the state transportation system. A significant component of the state system is the 33,832 miles of roads and 10,397 bridges, both of which rank among the largest for any state in the nation. On average, Missouri drivers pay $30 per month in fuel taxes and fees to fund the maintenance and improvements to this asset. Over the last 10 years, Missourians have invested in 4,333 projects totaling $10.9 billion to maintain and improve the system. Looking forward, $5.5 billion is estimated to be available for projects over the next five years for additional improvements. Since transportation needs greatly outweigh funding available, the challenge is determining the optimal projects to fund that provide the greatest return on investment to taxpayers. Across every region of the state, feedback from Missourians has consistently prioritized maintaining the existing system as the highest priority. Other priorities include projects that improve safety and reliability, spur economic growth and provide more transportation choices. With the priority of maintaining the existing system, MoDOT has developed asset management plans for each district with the goal to maintain current pavement and bridge conditions.

  • Iowa One Hundred Two River – 10240013 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Profile October 2009
    One Hundred Two River – 10240013 October 2009 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Profile Iowa Introduction The One Hundred Two River Rapid Watershed Assessment (RWA) provides initial estimates of where conservation investments would best address the resource concerns of landowners, conservation districts, and other community organizations and stakeholders in Iowa. These assessments help landowners and local leaders set priorities and determine the best actions to achieve their goals to conserve and improve soil and water resources. Physical Description The One Hundred Two River 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) watershed contains 496,987 acres (1) of which 250,116 acres are located in Iowa. Eighty-five percent of the watershed is in Taylor County, 15 percent in Adams County, and less than one percent in Ringgold County, (1). Ninety-eight percent of the watershed is privately owned agricultural land, 0.5 percent is publicly owned, and the remaining 1.5 percent is split between municipal areas and private conservation areas (2). Fifty percent of the watershed is in cropland, 35 percent is pasture or hayland, 7 percent is woodland, and 8 percent is split between water, wetlands, natural areas, and developed/urban areas (3). Elevations range from 1,011 feet to 1,331 feet (4). The average watershed slope is 6.7 percent (5). The primary Land Capability Class in the watershed is class 3. The Land Capability Class (LCC) breakdown for the watershed is: 1.6 percent in class 1; 29.5 percent in class 2; 48.7 percent in class 3; 18 percent in class 4; and the remaining 2.2 percent is split between classes 5, 6, 7, and 8 (6).

  • Our Town by Thorton Wilder Essay
    OUR TOWN BY THORTON WILDER ESSAY Free Essay: Thornton Wilder's Our Town Our Town is play written a while ago, but it relates to any time. Showing that routine is a part of everybody's life. Are they able to " comprehend completely or correctly [? Wilder is showing us that we, like Emily, spend our lives focused on objects instead of experiences. We have provided the necessity for choosing these stakeholder groups and the ways they can impact the project. To show us that these lessons are true in our own lives, Wilder uses devices such as the lack of props and directly connecting us to the cast to enable us to better relate to the play. Wilder points out that things that we may see as very important to our life are really not as significant as we may think. Throughout the play, Wilder uses a rather unconventional shift in focus by frequently moving back and forth between big and small events to show the significance of each moment. In the first act, their children George Gibbs and Emily Webb go to school. Audience members do not feel the separation of themselves and the play because the play involves them and those around them. Soames has built up the idea in her head that the wedding will be "lovely", so when it turns out to be a routine wedding, she assumes it is "lovely. They get married in the second act. Even the smallest moments should be noticed, the moments that make us who we are and the moments that might seem irrelevant at that time but they are in fact very beautiful and precious.
