BARLOW - At her home in this city, Wednesday May 16th, 1900.
Clarinda Barlow, aged 76 years, 11 months and 7 days.
The death of Grandma Barlow, as she was familiarly called, came very suddenly. She was enjoying her usually good health up to within two hours of her demise. Wednesday afternoon she was at work in her garden when a severe pain came into her head; she spoke to her son, Smith Barlow, working near by, and asked him to aid her into the house. He did so and at her request brought her a basin of hot water in which to bathe her feet. Hardly had her feet touched the water than she was seized with vomiting; her head suddenly drooped forward, when she became unconscious and remained so until her death, two hours later. Dr Isherwood was called, bet he could do her no good; he pronounced the case as being apoplexy.
Deceased was born in Tennessee on June 10th, 1823; was married to Wm. Barlow about 54 years ago; six children were born to them, only two of whom are known to be living - Smith Barlow and Mrs. Stephen Fountain, both living in this community. Mrs. Barlow came to Jasper county fifty odd years ago, settling near Oronogo. Her husband died some thirty years ago, and with a son, lies buried in the Oronogo cemetery, beside which the remains of Mrs. Barlow were lain yesterday afternoon. She was a member of the Christian Church.
Short funeral services were held at the Methodist church in this city, conducted by Rev. Ferguson.
Relatives of the deceased desire that we extend their thanks to the many friends for their valuable assistance in their sad bereavement.

KILLED BY A FALLING TUB
Irvin Bradley, a young man whose home is in Camden county, was killed Sunday morning at 8 o'clock in the Rochester mine, one mile south of this city, by a tub falling on him while he was working in the shaft. The tub was hanging in the shaft and the hoisterman was clearing the pipes of condensed steam when he noticed the rope coiling off the spool. A desperate effort was made to stop the tub but his weight on the brake was not sufficient to check it until he had fallen to the bottom and killed the man in the shaft. The hoister used was a Sandour and there is no perceptible noise made when the rope is being unwound from the spool.

MINER KILLED -- Another fearful accident yesterday morning which resulted in the death of Irvin Brdley, an employe at the Rochester Mine south of Carterville -- Yesterday morning at about 8 o'clock there occurred at the Rochester mine one mile south of Carterville an accident which resulted in the death of a miner by the name of Irvin Bradley.
Bradley who had been working on the night shift and completed his labor for the day, gave the signal for the hoisterman to lower the tub that he might come to surface, and remained standing in the shaft at the edge of the drift, while the tub was being lowered.The tub was started down the shaft, and went well until within a few feet of the bottom when the rope broke or something became unmanageable about the machinery allowing it to fall, striking young Bradley squarely on the head and pinioning him beneath it. Death must have come to the unfortunate man instantly as the scalp was cut in a semicircle around the head, and the skull crashed in. The body was hoisted to the top as quickly as possible, Lowe's ambulance telephoned for and Coroner Dumbald notified.
The remains were prepared for burial by undertaker Steele, and were shipped this morning via the Frisco at 5:45 to Richland, Pulaski County, MO., the home of his mother, in charge of Harry Dunlap, a cousin, who lives at the corner of third and Liberty streets, with whom the young man boarded.
Deceased was born in Camden County, MO( about 21 years ago, and leaves a mother, a stepfather, and two sisters at Richland to mourne his loss. All expenses were defrayed by the company.

Cedar Bluff News, January 15--William Grant Buxton, of this vicinity, who was killed on one of the last days of the November fighing in France, always conducted himself as a loyal, fearless and devoted soldier, and was a man whose private life and morals were a splendid exsample to others. Captain W. P. Montgomery, his commanding officer, expresses himself thus, in a letter to Grants relatives here. The letter, which was addressed to his sister, Miss Mary Buxton, follows: "I regret the sorrowful duty of writing you of the death of Private William g. Buxton, November 4, 1918, in the last great battle of the American army. He was struck by a shell fragment which entered his heart, causing death instantly, without suffering and without mutilation. During the two months he had been under my command as an observer, he had constantly shown himself a loyal, fearless, devoted soldier, and a man whose private life and morals and conduct were a splendid example to others. I had the greatest confidence in him and found him unfaltering in the performances of his arduous, important and extra hazardous duties." A telegram from the war department to the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eli Buxton, stated that Grant was killed in action November 11.
