He was brought to Deepwater to his daughter's home, but pneumonia set in and loving care and medical attention could not ease the pain and he was called Home. John William Galbraith was born in Pennsylvania, May 7, 1850, and came to Henry county when a young man. He was married to Mary Elva Padgett and they reared a family of ten, in Deepwater, where Mr. Galbraith was a coal miner. The Galbraith home was rich in the worthwhile things of life, and these children received the highest training both mentally and morally. The literature which Mr. Galbraith read in leisure moments was always the highest type of reading matter. His knowledge of the Bible was limitless and a preacher friend said Mr. Galbraith was the best interpreter of the Bible he know. Not only could he give the correct meaning of difficult passages, but he so incorporated the Bible and its Christian teachings into his every day living that his entire life was an exemplification of Christianity. He was a member of the Deepwater Presbyterian church.

Clinton MO - Mrs. James Garrett, after a continuous residence in Clinton of 54 years, died at her home, 615 South Orchard street, at 3:10 p.m. Saturday, after a short illness. Intense suffering marked her last days with her family, but she passed peacefully with three of her children beside her. All of her children and two grandchildren spent Mother's Day with Mrs. Garrett just two weeks ago Sunday, and left her in happy spirits and in her usual health. The memory of that beautiful day together will be a comforting memory to her family. Denisa Jane Michael was born February 26, 1851, in Sullivan Co., Mo., the daughter of Jonathan A. and Sarah Michael. When she was 11 years of age her mother died and she, with the fortitude of her pioneer mother, assumed the home making responsibilities of the family and reared her younger brother and sister. Her father was a progressive farmer and local judge, whose duties often took him from home, and the stories of young Denisa's management are interesting tales she has passed on to her children. Among them is her experience with a coal oil lamp, the first in the community, which she tried to light by turning the wick up very high. She lived as a girl thru the stirring pre-civil war days when rural schools were of but three months duration, but she had an alert and inquiring mind and acquired more knowledge than many a school room trained woman can boast. On the Friday before her death she discussed the Townsend Bill with Mrs. Morgan, who had arrived the day before to help care for her mother. October 1, 1868, Denisa Jane Michael and James Garrett, a neighbor boy, were married and the first years of their married life were spent near her old home, where the three older children were born. Later they moved to Paducah, Ky., where the three youngest children were born. In 1882 their son, Irving, died and was buried at Paducah, and the same year they moved to Missouri, spending a short time on a farm north of Deepwater, then moving to part of the Owen land which was across from the entrance gates to the old Owen home site, where they spent some years. They moved to town when Mr. Garrett went into the coal business with James Sheldon and for 30 years they occupied the present home. April 17, 1927, her husband preceded her in death and last year a second son died, leaving four children surviving, Mrs. Sarah Whitecotton and Lawrence of the home; James Albert of Frederick, Okla., and Mrs. Jennie M. Morgan of Walters, Okla., and 10 grandchildren. Early in life Mrs. Garrett joined the Christian church and ever remained a faithful member. Thru her entire life she closely followed the precepts of her Master - doing all the good she could. The hungry were never turned from her door and in homes where sickness and death entered she could be found. The feebleness of advanced age kept her close to her home of late years but her keen interest in nature and her love for her friends and flowers filled her days. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Consalus and Peck Funeral Home. Pall bearers were Spanish-American War Veterans as follows: Dean Keyes, A. H. Harris, Joe Powell, John Westerman, Ben Holcomb and Carter Cannan. Her son, James Albert, and Mr. Morgan, her son-in-law, were veterans of this conflict. Her husband was a veteran of the war between the states.

She had been in failing health for several years at her home near Delmar with complications brought on by heart trouble, but had been confined to her bed only the past two months. Her father, with whom she shared a beautiful companionship, husband and devoted daughter had ministered to her with gentleness and love to ease her passing. Mrs. Gates was a well known and much loved woman, a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church in which she was an ardent worker, belonging to the Missionary society and taking an active part in all other branches. A wonderful Christian character, her light shone undimmed throughout years of beautiful and cheerful service for the Master. An inspiration to all who knew her, beloved by her family and friends her memory will live undimmed in many hearts. Alice May Henny was born January 16, 1882, on a farm north of Delmar, the daughter of Chris Henny and Polly Williams Henny, early comers to the county from Ohio, who became prominent and respected citizens. December 23, 1903 she became the bride of Dan T. Gates, son of one of the best known and important families of Henry County. Mr. and Mrs. Gates made their home on a farm six miles north of Montrose until the death of her mother, when they sold their farm and went to her father's home to care for him in his advanced years. Two children had blessed their home, Chesley T. Gates of Urich, and Mrs. M. Ming of Garden City, Kans., who, with their father and Mrs. Gates' father survive her. Into her busy life Mrs. Gates crowded untold good deeds and unselfish services for others. A typical homemaker, she delighted in all housewifely arts and duties. The whole community had shared at some time in the kindnesses that fell so willingly from her gentle hands. Interested in every one about her she ministered to any who were in need of cheer or service, a good, fine, noble woman whose passing leaves untold loss to all. Funeral services were at the Hopewell church on Monday afternoon.

Clinton MO, Sep 1929 - C. W. Gates - Nearly three generations ago, as time is measured by the life of man, the grandfather of the subject of this sketch settled on a farm in Henry county, Mo., a few miles north of Montrose. In that day farm homes were few and far between; wild game was abundant; the prairies were waving with wild grasses and the forest were scarcely touched with the ax of civilization. It was in 1841, when the grandfather, one of the earliest settlers of Walker township coming from Cooper county, located on the farm which has ever since remained in the Gates family. W. A. Gates, the father of C. W., was a babe about six months old when the family moved to Henry county and at the present time at the ripe old age of 88, he is residing with a son on the original homestead and was able to attend the funeral of his son held in Appleton City. C. W. Gates, Ches., as he was familiarly called by his friends, was born in the old home, April 4, 1869, and died at his home in Parkville, Mo., September 8, 1929, after a lingering illness of several months. Mr. Gates was of a family of ten children, eight of whom are living - J. M., Rufus and A. V., Montrose; Elijah, Clinton; C. P., Urich; D. T. Gates, west of Clinton; Mrs. J. W. Hibler and Mrs. W. R. Dunn, Urich. In June, 1896, Mr. Gates was married to Theodosia Morse, and five daughters came to bless them, two of whom died in infancy. The three daughters living, and who were present at the funeral, are - Thelma, a teacher in the city schools of Sioux Falls, S.D.; Ora a teacher in Park College, Parkville, and Julia, a student in Park College. Many years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Gates decided to locate in Appleton City, and on a nice suburban tract he built them a modern home, surrounding it with a wilderness of fruits and flowers and there they lived happily until about four years ago, when the home was broken up by the death of Mrs. Gates. A short time before his death, he decided to locate in Parkville, where he could have a home with two of his children, and it was in this new home he passed away. Mr. Gates was a contractor and builder and there stand today, scattered over Bates, Henry and St. Clair counties, many fine farm buildings, city dwellings, churches and schools as monuments to his fine skill as a workman, and to his honesty as a contractor. It has often been said of him that he never thought of profits until after the job was finished according to plans agreed upon. In his home life he was a devoted husband and father and while he did not leave a great estate to his family, he left something more endurable and valuable. He had striven to give his daughters the opportunity to obtain a liberal education and his greatest happiness seemed to be in their accomplishments. Funeral services were conducted in the Presbyterian church at Appleton City and was attended by a large crowd of relatives and friends, and he was buried beside his wife and infant children in Appleton City's beautiful cemetery. There were many and beautiful floral offerings.

Sunday night, a little daughter was born, which only lived one hour and the wee little blossom was transplanted to paradise, so soon to be joined by the mother, who could not withstand the ravages of fever. Born in Greenville, Ill., Sept. 6, 1879. Her parents names were Alonzo and Ada Allred, who came to Missouri some years ago. Her mother Mrs. Rev. Stone, and sister Miss Lula Allred, survive. A sister, Miss Ella Allred, died last August. The bereaved husband is Thomas Gaupp, an employee at the Clinton pottery. They were married Jan. 7, 1899. Indeed he has the sympathy of all in his sorrow, for to him the sweetest wife that ever lived has breathed her life away, while the angels lingered near to carry her to heaven and their little one. Mrs. Gaupp united with the Christian church under the preaching of Bro. Ernest H. Williamson in 1902 and her Sunday School class was her constant pleasure.
