Clinton MO, Sep 1 1894 - With widespread wings, the Death Angel alighted in our midst Monday night and claimed for its victim the wife of our estimable fellow citizen, Harvey W. Salmon. Mrs. Salmon had not been ill a great while. Hers was a complication of diseases but inflammation of the stomach and bowels seemed to be the most serious difficulty. Dr. Britts was the attending physician and faithfully performed his duties. Dr. John Kimbrough of St. Louis was in attendance at his sister's bedside during the last days of her illness. Mrs. Salmon was a daughter of Uncle Johnny Kimbrough and was born in Springfield, Mo. in 1850, making her 44 years of age. She came with her parents to Clinton in the fall of 1869 and was educated at Christian College in Columbia. She has been a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for 25 years. In 1871, Uncle Johnny Kimbrough gave his daughter, Kate in marriage to Harvey W. Salmon and their married life has been spent in congenial happiness. Five children, four boys and one girl, made merry music in their home until death chilled the heart of one baby boy, a remarkably bright little fellow. At her death, Mrs. Salmon's oldest child, Harvey, Jr., was 21 and he will miss his gentle mother sadly. Merritt, Louise and Warren are too young to fully realize their loss but as they grow older they will know that the dearest, best thing in the world has been denied them - the tender love and watchful care of a Christian mother. To Mr. Salmon, her loss is irreparable. Also three sisters and four brothers are deeply grieved over the loss of what to them was a second mother. And, in tenderest pity, we speak of what her loss is to her aged father. Seventy-five years have come and gone since he entered this life and it seemed that, in his feeble old age, he would be the first to return to the life from whence he came. He had grown to depend on her for the brightness and sunshine of his old age. Funeral services were held at the elegant home of the deceased on East Green Street.

Clinton MO, Nov 7 1896 - Fatal Accident at Republican Rally - A sad, sad incident of the Republican demonstration last Saturday was the fatal accident to Master Milburn Salmon, whose neck was broken by the crash of the speaker's stand at the arbor, at night, occurring just as Mr. Lewis had made a short address. It seems that the little fellow and several companions were caught in the jam and were evidently trying to get out by crawling under the timbers, when the crash came, catching his neck on a crossbeam and breaking it. He was found sometime after and taken to Jackson's undertaking, where he was recognized as the son of E. W. Salmon, lately of Marshfield, and the sad news was communicated to grief-stricken relatives. His remains were interred at Englewood on Sunday. Milburn would have been 12 in a few days and, with his 7 year old sister, made his home with their grandmother, Mrs. W. W. Salmon on East Green. Their mother died some three years ago.

Clinton Eye, Aug 1890 - A new grave in Englewood and beneath Mother Earth sleeps that long and peaceful sleep one of our boys who in life had the esteem of all. As the shades of eve were drawing to a close last Sabbath, after three weeks illness, Will H. Salmon breathed his last, and the once happy home now mourns the loss of one whose bright smiles never failed to win loving friends. He was just merging into his 24th year and if his life, so full of hope, could have been spared, our society and business relations would be better by having such a noble young man among us. For two years he had been connected with the bank of Salmon and during that time, Mayor Carter, who had stood beside him, says he never saw a more gentle and willing disposition to do what was right than Will H. Salmon possessed. A long procession of the sorrowing followed his remains to their resting place in Englewood.

Clinton MO - Elijah W. Sanders was born in Taylor county, Ky., Sept. 15, 1836, and died July 27, 1921, at this home in Deepwater. Uncle Lige, as he was always known, was the son of Easton C. and Demaris (Fradris) Sanders; the former a native of Kentucky, and the latter of Virginia. He was reared to young manhood in Kentucky, where he was married to Lieusiba Cook in 1854, soon after, moving to Sangamon county, Ill. To this union four children were born, two dying in infancy; his wife also dying Feb. 8, 1866, leaving to him the care of two young sons - Robert E., and John H., the latter living near Deepwater. In Nov. 1867, he came to Missouri, settling in Fairview township, and on Jan. 3, 1869, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Hurt, and to this union four children were given: Elizabeth, at home, Diena, of Appleton City; George, living on the home farm, and Charles, died Dec. 17, 1893. On Nov. 22, 1919, the death messenger again entered his family, taking the eldest living son, Robert E., and again on Dec. 19, 1919, he was called upon to give up the loving, faithful companion of 40 years, leaving him to the lonely life of the confirmed invalid, having thru an accident been confined to his wheel chair for three years, but all his troubles were borne with a bravery that could only be accredited to the faith and trust given him by the loving Father and the long Christian life he had led, having made a profession of faith in early youth. It was his greatest delight to take part in all religious services within traveling distance of his home. He was a member of the Baptist church, served for many years as a deacon of the Pleasant Valley church, and was one of the builders and charter members of that church. There are left to mourn their loss four children, thirteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; also two brothers - Thomas of Lowry City, and Elza of Campbellville, Ky., and a host of friends and other relatives. Deceased was a good citizen and neighbor, being good and kind to the widows, orphans, the sick and those in need. He was thoughtful of his pastor and church and was its faithful janitor for years, receiving the satisfaction of knowing that he was serving his Master for his compensation. In fact, there would not have been a Pleasant Valley church, had it not been for his foresight for a church home for those of that neighborhood, and the church stands as a splendid monument of his faith in his God and his deep Christian love for unborn generations. He did not harbor malice, could not tolerate deception and was the same every day, showing his religion in everyday deeds. All who knew him admired him. Funeral services were conducted at the Deepwater Baptist Church Thursday of last week, and the remains were interred in Brownington Cemetery.

Daily Democrat, Clinton MO, Oct 3 2005 - Helen Louise Sapp was born in Altoona, Kansas, January 21, 1924, the daughter of Clint Ray and Kate (Havens) Smith. She died Thursday, August 25, 2005, at St. Luke's Hospital, Kansas City. She was the second of six children. She lived in the Raytown area for several years, before moving to Deepwater where she made her home next to her mother. She bowled at Meadowlark Lanes in Clinton for several years. She also bowled at Loma Vista Lanes in Raytown for several years before that. Helen carried a 200 average. She was a very avid bowler, receiving numerous awards and pins. Another of her hobbies was gardening. She was quite a gardener, especially with flowers. Helen also spent a lot of her spare time sewing different crafts. She volunteered to make a variety of crafts for different occasions to be sent to the Skilled Nursing Unit at Golden valley Hospital and Truman Lake Manor in Lowry City. Helen was very active in the Deepwater Volunteer Fire Department and First Responders fundraisers by helping out any way that she could and by donated items. She was famous for her very chewy and delicious peanut butter cookies. Helen never had children of her own until she married Howard Sapp and then became stepmother to eight children. Helen worked at Rival in Clinton for a few years before retiring. After Howard's retirement from the City of Clinton, they retired to her country home south of Deepwater where they lived the remaining years of their lives together. They had cattle and a bird dog named Buster who climbed trees after squirrels. Not only did the dog climb the trees, but so did Helen's great-niece and nephews, who would walk or ride their bikes from Deepwater to spend the night in her barn. They always had such a great time with her. Helen hosted Christmas dinner for the Smith side of the family. It started out with an overabundance of food. Then she made sure that Santa was coming for all the kids and that everyone had a gift. She didn't want anybody left out. Whenever one of her great-nephews didn't like his option of dinner at home, then he always knew that he could count on Helen for a backup. She was just a hop, skip and a holler away. During deer season while Howard was away hunting, Helen would go get the dinner supplies of choice and have a little slumber party for her great-niece and nephew. Whenever it was bedtime she would let them sleep with her and crowd her onto the edge of her own bed. Helen was the soul caregiver for Howard until the very last when Hospice became involved. She very suddenly became ill and passed away 20 days after Howard. She will be very sadly missed by her sister, two brothers and a number of nieces and nephews and many family members. Funeral services were held at the Vansant-Mills Chapel on Monday, August 29. Graveside services and burial was held at the Floral Hills Cemetery, Kansas City.

Lewis Station, Henry Co, MO - On Thursday the 7th inst. at about 12 o'clock a.m. a very sad accident happened at the mines of the Tebo Coal Co., situated one and a half miles north of our station. Isaac Sarles, a coal miner, while on duty separating the clay from the coal, failed to notice the dangerous condition of some slate and coal above his head and even did not heed the warning shout of another miner, before it was too late. With a loud noise the mass of slate and coal came crashing down, breaking his leg in two places and injuring him internally, death ensuing twenty-three hours afterwards. This adds another chapter to a miner's life. Sarles was fifty-three years old at the time of his death. He leaves a wife and six children, five boys and a little girl. He served three years and six months in the Union army; his pension papers were forwarded sometime ago and his widow will receive all pension due him up to the time of his death ere long. His burial took place on Sunday the 10th. The funeral sermon will be preached at the M.E. Church at Lewis next Sunday. Although the weather was inclement, all the miners, with a few exceptions, paid their last tribute to their late comrade, following the remains on foot over the rough country road to their last resting place. Rough may be the garments of a miner, and rough may be his speech and manner, but under that rough garment there beats a heart ever ready to help the distressed and the sick. (Note: The accident happened on January 8, 1892. Isaac served in Company "C" of the 49th Indiana Infantry during the Civil War. His military marker is located in Barton City Cemetery, Barton County, MO (near Liberal), but his body is buried near Lewis Station. The family story says both Isaac and his 18 year old son, Lafe, were killed in the same mine accident. - Mary Ann (Searles) Hoppe, Rogers, Arkansas mahoppe@specent.com)

Clinton MO, Aug 27 1892 - Death of Judge Savage - Thursday night, the startling news was current that Judge F. E. Savage was accidentally shot while out gunning east of town. F. R. Piper, his companion in the hunt, says he and the Judge drove to the Bronaugh farm Thursday afternoon for plover shooting. The drive was made in the Judge's buggy and near dusk they prepared to return home. The Judge unhitched his horse, got in the buggy and was driving down the road while Mr. Piper started across a field intending to meet up with him and had gone but a short distance when he heard a shot; looking around to see if the Judge had brought down a bird, was horrified to hear him exclaim, "My God, I've shot myself." Before he could reach him, the Judge had got out and ran some distance into J. W. Middlecoff's yard. The charge entered his right arm near the shoulder and was bleeding profusely. The arm was corded, the Judge placed in the buggy and Mr. Piper, gently yet swiftly, drove into town. Drs. Britts, Holcomb and Johnson were summoned and found the wound quite serious. Amputation was necessary and the arm was removed at the shoulder socket. a trying ordeal, yet bravely borne. With the waning night, his end dawned. The wound was mortal. Conscious of the fact, the Judge talked to his wife and friends throughout the night vigil and at fifteen of one Friday morning, his spirit took its flight. Mr. Piper thinks the Judge may have set his gun down cocked, while unhitching, and in driving off, jolted the gun so it fell to the left, muzzle toward him, causing the discharge. Frederick E. Savage was born in Ky. in 1836; came to St. Louis about 1857, where he read law a few months and was licensed by Judge W. T. Wood; proceeding at once to Henry county, where he taught a term of school near Calhoun; came to Clinton the following spring, 1858, and domiciled with R. F. Taylor, then sheriff; was elected Public Administrator in 1860; war breaking out, he was among the first to enlist in the cause of his beloved South, in the company of Col. Tom Owens, later joining the forces of Gen. John Morgan, and at the final surrender, was with "Old Cerro Gordo" Williams; returning to Clinton at the close of the war, he resumed the practice of law; was appointed by Gov. Hardin as probate Judge, vice Wm. L. Avery, deceased, and in 1874 was elected to fill out the unexpired term; in 1884 was elected State Representative. Was married in 1874 to Miss Lutie Mallory in Liberty at the residence of his brother-in-law, now of this city; Gen. B. G. Boone acting as his best man. He and his wife occupied an elegant home on East Green and while no children blessed them, they lived a useful and happy life. The wife and two sisters - one the wife of the Hon. John S. Williams of Ky., the other residing in Ill. or Ohio, and innumerable friends, mourn his sad and untimely taking off. Judge Savage was an upright citizen, a sound lawyer, a staunch Democrat and a gruff, good man. Peace to his ashes.
