Clinton MO, Sep 16 1889 - It is with feelings of profoundest sorrow we chronicle the death of Sebastian C. Mace, postmaster at O'Fallon, Illinois, Saturday, after a lingering illness at the age of 62. Besides his wife he leaves two half-brothers and an adopted daughter, Miss Minnie Mace, who was adopted while he was in Clinton. At one time, he was publisher of the Clinton Advocate which, under his management, grew into popular favor and some 16 years ago he started the Daily Advocate and at one time had a circulation of over 400 paying subscribers, besides exchanges. He left here about 8 years ago and has since been in O'Fallon. For three and one-half years, your humble servant did his job work and during that time we were treated with gentlemanly courtesy and fairness. He was kind and fair and had as many friends among the Democrats as with his own party, the Republicans.

MAJOR, Hezekiah Fore "Uncle Kiah"
b: Apr 14 1827, Callaway Co, MO
d: Nov 15 1907, Henry Co, MO
bur: Laurel Oak Cemetery MA-MI, Windsor, Windsor Twp, Henry Co, MO
Hezekiah Fore Major was born in Callaway county, Missouri, April 14, 1827 and died Nov. 15, 1907. His parents were Weeden and Nancy H. Major. He joined the Baptist church when very young and lived a devoted Christian life until his death. He was a Mexican and Confederate soldier; He was married in 1851 to Elizabeth K. Duncan, moved to Henry county the following December and located near the postoffice of Belmont, afterwards changed to Windsor, where he lived until six years ago when he moved to Kansas City, Kansas, his late home. There he was a faithful and honored member of the Armourdale Baptist church. There were born to him seven children, of whom five are now living: Gussie S., Waller T., Louie B., Sidney M. and Claud J. Eleven grandchildren and one great grandchild survive him. All his sons and their wives, whom he regarded as his own daughters, are faithful church members. This one fact gave him the greatest joy of his life. No one ever doubted his zeal and love for Christianity and his loyalty to the Baptist cause. Of his father's family of ten children, as far as is known, his brother, Reuben W. Major of Windsor, Mo., is the only surviving member. On Wednesday, the 13th of November, accompanied by his wife and Mrs. Amanda Neale, he left his home in Kansas City to make, as he said, his last visit to his old friends and relatives, all of whom he loved so dearly. He arrived at Clinton and visited his nephew and niece Charles and Kate Major, and was invited to attend a revival meeting at the Methodist church. He gladly complied and greatly enjoyed the sermon. The next morning he started to take the early train for Calhoun, where he expected to meet his oldest son Gussie, and go out to his farm to make a visit. The train was late and hearing a whistle, he thought it was his train and hurried more than usual. He arrived at the depot, bought his tickets, and then complained to his wife that his heart hurt him, and without further warning he sank into the depot seat and passed away. His funeral was conducted at the Windsor Baptist church, Sunday afternoon. There is no record that "Uncle Kiah," as he was familiarly called, ever spoke an unkind word to anyone. His kindness and goodness had no bounds. He was good company, always cheerful and communicative. He was everywhere diligent, helpful and useful. As a husband he was gallant, considerate and devoted to the last acts of his life, and his widow was greatly prostrated on account of the sudden and shocking manner of his death, and her great bereavement. He was a kind, sweet, indulgent, loving father. He never spoke a harsh word to his children. His own comforts and interests were sacrificed in exhibitions of love for them even when grown and in homes of their own. He often called them to him and told them that life was a failure without Christ, and he pleaded with each of them to accept Jesus as a Savior. He always advised them to live good honest, Christian lives, that was better than any honor or riches the world can offer. Truly he will be missed, but his long and Godly life has been and will continue to be an inspiration to all who knew him. The pall bearers were six of his old ex-Confederate comrades - Jas. W. Goodin, John Hardin Bell, Judge W. M. Allen, Capt. Thos. Collins, Dr. J. B. Brame and A. C. Clark.
