Obituary
Saturday the 23rd an event occured that cast a deep shade of sorrowand
painful regret over the hearts of the people of this community.
Itwas the sad announcement of the
death of our valued friend and neighbor,John Ross Piper. He had
been sick for two years and for some time past little or no hope
for his recovery. In notices of this kind the virtues of the deceased
are said in some Instances to be exaggerated, but in the present
case the simplest statement of the true character of the deceased
could be nothing but a high and appreciated eulogy. No one could
be more dearly beloved or highly respected than he was by all
of his neighbors. The deceased was born near Bluffs, Scott Co.,
Ill, on June 29, 1865. He was the second son of John and Mary
A. Piper and was an ever loving and dutiful son. He came to Missouri
with his parents February 1879. He was married to Miss Mollie
Bolen on April 1st, 1894. To this union three children were born,
John A. thirteen years old, Elizabeth A. eleven and Lillie Mabel
eight. He is survived by his wife, three children, father, mother,three
brothers and one sister. He was converted in November 1901 and
united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church November 20, 1904,was
elected deacon May 21, 1905 of which he has been a consistent
member till God called him away. During all of his terrible afflictions
he was never heard to murmur. The funeral took place at Union
Chapel where the Rev. S. H. Murry of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church preached a very impressive sermon.He will be missed in
the church, in the community, and oh, how he will be missed in
the home. But we hope to meet him and clasp glad hands where there
will be no pain, no tears and above all, no death to rob us of
dear ones.
A FRIEND.

Obituary
Carlos A. Piper third son of John F. and Mary A. Piper was
born Oct. 28th 1870 in Scott County, ILL., died at his home in
Clarksdale, Mo., June 11th 1913, leaving surviving him
a wife and three children, an aged father and mother, two brothers,
one sister and a host friends and relatives to mourn his departure.
Carl had been a sufferer for a long time yet bore his sad affliction
with patience and long suffering. Through it all a smile and a
hearty handshake greeted those who so often called, and when the
final summons came, it can be truly said that he met his end in
peace. His sun has set, no more upon this mortal sphere will the
familiar form brighten the home or bring happiness and sunshine
to the little family circle. Ties have been severed that never
can be reunited this side of Eternity. Yet God has willed, and
the bereaved hearts can only seek consolation in fond remembrances
of the departed one. A large concourse of people were in attendance
at the funeral, which was conducted by the Rev. Thurman Bowen
of the M.E. Church at (?) after which the body was laid to rest
in the beautiful cemetery adjoining. No more his smiling face,
No more his voice we hear; No more upon the threshold Will the
familiar form n' appear. Yet God is good; He knoweth best, He
doeth all things meek;And methinks in yonder glorious land, Carl
walk the pearly streets. L.L.C
