Clinton MO - October 31st, the spirit of Mrs. L. S. Munday went home to Heaven. She had been failing in health for two years, but few realized her condition on account of her bright and happy disposition. About three months ago she grew much worse and was brought to Clinton for treatment, staying first at the home of her brother, then at the hospital. Everything known to science was used to prolong her earthly stay. A month previous to her death, it was seen that she was soon to take the last journey, so she returned home. She became completely helpless. Nobody can ever tell how much suffering this dear good woman underwent in those last weeks. Her loved ones were ever at her bedside to minister to her needs. Never was she even given a sup of water but what she would give them a bright smile and thank them for being so good to her. She had used every minute of her life for the better things and to help others. The same was true of the last day before her Home Going. She used every minute possible to give her loved ones advice. Of course her children and husband were nearest her heart. Every minute possible she tried to think of what she could do to make their future pathways smoother. Her great desire was that her children live near the Christ, so there can be a happy reunion time in Heaven. She also wished them to finish their education, so they would be well equipped to fight the battles of life. Mrs. Max Fellhauer, who is a cousin, but who was raised in the home of Mrs. Munday's parents, was like a sister. To her she gave the final instructions in regard to her funeral and the things she desired done. She was born December 22, 1873, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Datweiler, both who are now in Heaven. She gave her hand and heart to L. S. Munday, who survives her. There were four children given to this union, the first child died in infancy. The three left to comfort their father are - Paul, Harold, and Marie, all at home. Harold and Marie will finish high school in Clinton this year. She also leaves two brothers - O. H. Datweiler and J. C. Datweiler, both of Clinton. After she completed the rural school her parents sent her to Clinton to attend the Baird college. She united with the Presbyterian church in her youth and was a good Christian woman. She was a charter member and also a leader in the Home Makers club. The passing of Mrs. Munday is a loss to the neighborhood and county. Her individuality was marked and her personality vivid, with a temperament that enjoyed life to the full. She put herself into everything she did. She ruled her home with a supreme love that made it an example worth of emulation in the entire community. An invitation to her home was always welcomed. She was the leader of the Red Cross work duing the war. Every other good cause found her at her post of duty, bending every effort to make it a success. She led in everything for the betterment of education. She ministered to the sick and afflicted on every hand. All will miss her, but the blow falls heaviest on the husband and dear children. Altho they are grown, they will miss this good mother's love and wise council. For a wonderful thing is a mother; other folks may love you, but only a mother understands. Mother works for you, cares for you, loves and forgives you when you leave her - like a guardian angel her memory is always with you. So she leaves to her children a heritage of good deeds. The funeral at her late home on the afternoon of November 2nd, after which her body was laid in Englewood. The pall bearers all were cousins: Dolph Kaiser, Louis J. Hendrich, Max Fellhauer, Ernest and Fred Datweiler and Charles A. Detweiler.

Clinton MO - Ernest Munday, 19 years old, died in a pool of water 12 feet deep in the Osage river, southeast of Clinton, last Saturday evening about 7 p.m. He had gone on a fishing trip with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Munday, of Calhoun, and his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Ritchey, and son Eugene, of Kansas City. He had been in great spirits all afternoon and evening as he was so glad to have his relatives with him and he had planned a happy outing. Ernest had been in poor health for sometime and was not allowed to exert himself. He and his cousin had been swimming. They had decided to return to the camp - the cousin going ahead. He heard a noise and on returning found Ernest had fallen into the lake. He summoned the family and another boy at a camp close by. The boy dived for the body and returned it. A doctor was called from Warsaw, and upon examination found there was no water in his lungs and that he had probably died from heart failure. Deceased was a general favorite in school and an excellent student. Ill health prevented him from taking part in the physical activities in the school. He graduated from the Calhoun high school, and was anxious to go to work, but was unable to do so. However, he did all he could about the home and for his parents and never gave them an anxious minute. He was ever genial and helpful. That day before he went in swimming, he had helped get the camp ready, despite the admonition against excessive physical exertion made by his parents. He is survived by his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Munday, three sisters and three brothers, Richard, who lives in California, was the only one unable to come. His brother Dilworth resides at home. The others who came for the funeral were: Mrs. Tate Carr and daughter Doris, Clark, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. Keith Gilmore, son and daughter of Kansas City; Mrs. Al Shahan, Grand Island, Nebraska; and Jean Paul also of Nebraska.

Clinton MO - Mrs. B. F. Munday of old and prominent Henry County family, who had lived all of her almost 90 years in Calhoun or within five miles of Calhoun, except for a few months in Indiana, died at her home in Calhoun, March 11, 1940. She had been gradually relaxing her hold on life and thorough the 16 weeks of her last illness she had been expertly and considerately cared for by her son Frank, of the home, assisted by another son, Lem of Clinton, who had been in Brisbane, Calif. Mary G. East was born April 13, 1850, five miles south of Calhoun, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. East, and was reared to womanhood on the farm where she was born. When she was a child of two years, her father died, leaving her mother with three little daughters on a farm of some 300 acres. Life in those early days without a man in the home was a problem which would dampen the courage of the bravest heart, but Mrs. East was a person of resource and unbounded faith in the guiding care of the Father above. Thus fortified, she reared her children to appreciate the land and girlish hands learned to drive a yoke of oxen, till the soil, raise chickens, feed stock and the many practical lessons that a farm requires of its owners. One of the thrilling memories of her childhood was the eventful blowing of the great sea shell, a relic of her father's trip to California in the days of the gold rush. This shell, with its unusual tone, and which it was an art in itself to sound, was used to call relatives and neighbors from nearby farms in time of need. Indeed all the summons were not indicative of trouble, for sometimes there were family dinners or similar days fondly treasured in the memories of the three little girls. This old shell, quiet now for many years, was one of Mrs. Munday's treasured heirlooms, together with a table, made by her father who was also an expert cabinet maker. The table was made of an unusual wood which has never been identified by their family and its perfectly dovetailed corners is the cause for comment by all who see it. She became the wife of B. F. Munday, January 12, 1869, and they made their home on a farm near that of her mother until they moved to Calhoun 30 years ago. To this union seven children were born: George of Windsor; Lizzie who died in infancy; Lem of Clinton; Mrs. Emma Des Combs of Holden; Frank of the home, who has lived with and cared for his mother the last five years; Jim near Calhoun and Arch of Sedalia. She also leaves nine grandchildren. Mrs. Munday was a sturdy Christian and a devout Baptist, having been converted and united with the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in early life. She moved her membership to Calhoun when she became a resident there. To her children she gave inherent Christian training and from her they learned the lessons of service to God and man, honesty, industry, strength of character and love. No better lesson could sons and daughters learn from their mother - and happy are the children who remember them and model their lives accordingly. So rich in life's graces and with length of years, she closed her eyes to mortal scenes, happy in the promise of life everlasting after the day of resurrection. Funeral services were held at the Calhoun Baptist Church, Wednesday. Pallbearers were the three grandsons, Lloyd Munday of Clinton; Leslie and Lyle Des Combs of Holden; three nephews, T. W., E. F., and M. R. Munday. Burial in Calhoun cemetery.

Clinton Missouri, Feb 7 1903 - From the Blairstown Hearld - A telegram received here Wednesday evening stated that Miss Flora Quick was killed at Clifton, Arizona Wednesday. We failed to learn the particulars. Miss Flora B. Quick was born and raised two miles northwest of Blairstown and was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Quick, who were favorably known all over this section of the country. Several years ago, Flora married John Mundis, a worthless kind of a fellow, and from that time, it seems as though she has led a troubled life. Sometime afterward they had some trouble and separated. Miss Flora had been here visiting her brothers, N. L. and Claude Quick, for about a month or more, leaving last Tuesday, January 29, for her home in Arizona and intended to return here in a few days to stay with her brothers awhile. While here it is said she told Mrs. James Tannehill that here was only one person that she dreaded and that was her former husband, John Mundis, who threatened to kill her. And there is no doubt in our mind but what this William Garland who murdered her and then took his own life is her former husband, John. She leaves five brothers and one sister to mourn her sad end.

Daily Democrat, Clinton MO, Nov 9 2005 - Robert E. Murphy was born January 7, 1915, in Bucyrus, Missouri, to Horace and Julia (Sillman) Murphy. He died October 9, 2005, at the New Haven Nursing Home in Odessa where he had spent the last five months. Robert was employed by Union Pacific Railroad before entering the Army. Bob served his country from May 1943 to November 1945 during World War II and was wounded on Luzon and spent nine months in the hospital. After the service, Bob received his B.S. degree at Kansas State University and then moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1953, where he worked for Collins Radio. In 1956 he moved back to the Kansas City area and was employed by Bendix. He retired from Bendix in 1973 and moved to rural Osceola. Bob's interests in life were many. He was a well educated man and had many interesting experiences in life. He was quite experienced with ham radio equipment. It became a hobby and a good way to communicate between him and his late brother-in-law, Dick Ohm, at West Plains for several years. He enjoyed deer hunting and loved fishing, especially trotline fishing in the Truman Lake. Bob enjoyed cooking, especially sourdough recipes - that is when Eva would let him mess up the kitchen. After retiring and moving to Osceola, Bob gained interest in gardening and liked to start his own plant from seed. He spent many hours in the woods gathering nuts and berries. A year and a half ago, when they moved from Osceola, he had a sale and many who were there can swear he was quite a collector of stuff that he might need someday. During his stay at the nursing home, Bob made friends with many of the nurses, aides and therapists. He was always quick to joke with them and many of them referred to him as "Uncle Bob". Eva's niece, Kathy, and nurse Donna, gave extra effort and attention to Bob and took really good care of him, which made his stay more comforting. He always welcomed visitors and looked forward to getting better and going home. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Horace and Julia Murphy; five brothers, Ray, Cay, Ace, Rolla and Leonard Murphy; two sisters, Dochia Woodall and Nona Shultz. Bob is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Eva Ballard Murphy of Odessa; four sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews. During his life of 90 years, Bob had many friends, neighbors and relatives. He will be sadly missed by everyone. Funeral services were Wednesday, October 12, at Sheldon-Goodrich Chapel.
