The usually quiet village of Fillmore, Andrew county, Mo., was suddenly precipitated into a feverish state of excitements, on Thursday morning, April 27, by the report that Mr. H. Jenkins, a citizen of that place, had shot himself. It appears that a dog had been annoying Mr. Jenkins for some time by making nocturnal visits to his smoke house, and that he had borrowed and loaded a gun on the day before, and left it sitting in a convenient place in the kitchen, with the intention of shooting the dog, should he repeat his visit on that night. And on the morning in question, having arisen and made a fire in the kitchen, preparatory to his wife getting the morning meal, and hearing a noise in the vicinity of the smoke house, he reached over the table for the loaded gun, which was sitting in the corner behind a barrel, and taking it by the muzzle drew it towards him, muzzle foremost, drawing it over the table. The hammer caught on the table and thereby the piece was discharged, the ball entering the stomach and coming out near the small of the back.

Mr. Jenkins lived, and suffered intensely at times till 9 o’clock, P.M., when death relieved him of all earth’s sufferings. He leaves a wife and six children, who were dependent upon his daily labor as a common laborer for their livelihood. He was carrying an insurance on his life of five thousand dollars.

Our readers will remember that during the past fall or winter, there were three men here from Fillmore and vicinity, ostensibly to buy cattle, and that while indulging too freely on a certain evening, the next morning one of the part claimed to have been robbed of his money, accusing his comrades of being the perpetrators of the deed, had them arrested, and put upon trial therefore, and that, had not the pocket-book containing the money been found by one of our citizens, and produced and identified, they would probably have been convicted of the crime; this Jenkins who shot himself is the man who claimed to have been robbed on that occasion.

Rochester Items. We have another sudden death to report from this vicinity. Mrs. Jarvis, wife of John Jarvis, died on the 8th [sic] inst. It seems that on the morning of that day Mr. Jarvis, who lives two and a half miles north of here, started to Rochester to mill, and, as he supposed, left his family in their usual health, Mrs. Jarvis being busily engaged with her household duties preparatory to washing. While standing at the wash-tub she was seized with a sudden illness and started two of their little children to their nearest neighbor’s for help. Mr. Way was the first to read the house. He found her lying insensible on the floor. When Mr. Jarvis returned from the mill, he immediately went back for a physician. Strange to say, neither one of the three could be induced to go. He returned home, and Mr. Sim H. Trump went to Flag Springs for Dr. Lockett. When they got to the house she was in a dying condition, and lived about twenty minutes. She remained insensible to the last. She leaves four small children to mourn her loss. She was buried at Rochester on the 10th. May He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb be a protector to the little ones left without a mother’s care.

William Henry Jackson was born June 17th, 1841, in the state of Indiana, and died January 30th, 1916, at the age of 71 years, 7 months and 13 days.

At the age of 15 years he moved with his parents to Sauk County, Wisconsin, and at the age of 24 years he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Williams, of Wisconsin, who preceded him ten years ago. To this union three children wee born– two daughters and one son, one daughter having preceded him 17 years ago, leaving one son, one daughter and ten grand-children and six great grandchildren to mourn his departure.

In his twenty-first year he enlisted in the Union army, in the 12th Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment, in which he served until the close of the war. In 1878 he removed with his family to Iowa, and in 1885, he removed to Missouri, where he resided until his death.

He was at peace with God and all the world. While he was not an active member of any church he lived a true Christian life, and the last words he said was he was not afraid, and he passed away in peace.

A typical westerner, M. S. Ingersoll has an intimate knowledge of life on the frontier and possesses the strong phisque [sic] and breadth of view which characterize those who live close to the heart of nature. He has resided in northwestern Washington for nearly two decades and is now engaged in farming in Lawrence township, owning one of the old and valuable ranches of this locality. He was born August 7, 1861, in Fillmore, Andrew county, Missouri, and his parents, John and Sarah (Monroe) Ingersoll, were natives of Ohio. They were among the early settlers of Missouri, and the father followed the blacksmith’s trade, also making wagons. He enlisted for service in the Civil war and valiantly defended the Union cause. He went to South Dakota in 1876, being accompanied by the subject of this sketch, who was then a boy of fifteen, and in 1881 they were joined by the other members of the family. The father engaged in freighting, transporting supplies through the Black hills, in which were many Indians, and both parents passed away in South Dakota.

M. S. Ingersoll was educated in the public schools of Missouri and as a young man homesteaded land in South Dakota. As one of the pioneer farmers of that region he endured many hardships but eventually converted the virgin soil into a rich and productive tract. In 1905 he disposed of his property in South Dakota and went to Texas, spending two years in the Lone Star state. He next came to Washington and embarked in the fishing business in Seattle, owning a purse seine boat. He was thus engaged from 1913 until 1919 and then came to Whatcom county, purchasing the old Wilcox homestead in Lawrence township. It was taken up as a homestead nearly a half century ago and contains eighty acres of land. The house and barn are still standing and the latter is made of split cedar boards. The house is well preserved and is constructed of twenty-seven inch face cedar logs, hand hewed on four sides, presenting an interesting landmark of the early days. Mr. Ingersoll has a large poultry ranch and also operates a dairy. He has made a close study of these industries and owes his success to well formulated plans and scientific methods.

In 1884 Mr. Ingersoll married Miss Cora Knickerbocker, also a native of Fillmore, Missouri, and four children were born to them: Fred T., who is married and lives in Seattle, Washington; Chauncey C., at home; Harry M., who operates a ranch near the Wilcox homestead and has a wife and three children; and John Francis, known as Frank, who is also married. Mr. Ingersoll is a Mason and belongs to the Whatcom County Associations of Dairymen and Poultrymen, while he is also connected with the Cooperative Hatchery. He follows an independent course in politics, voting according to the dictates of his judgment, and his public spirit has led to his service on the school board. In the training school of life he has learned many valuable lessons, profiting by each experience, and he is now enjoying that prosperity which is the reward of honest labor.

John Hurst, a veteran of the Civil war, living in the Marion district, has answered his last roll call and taps were sounded for him at his home on Thursday last, October 7th, 1909. He served in the Union army as a member of the original 13th Missouri Infantry, and was taken prisoner at the battle of Lexington, which was fought in September, 1861. On being paroled, he afterwards enlisted in the 7th Kansas, but was discharged on account of being paroled and not exchanged.

John Ernst Hurst was born in Baden, Germany, January 8th, 1832, and died at his home, in Nodaway township, October 7th, 1909, aged 77 years, 8 months and 29 days. He came to America with his parents, in 1845, landing in New York, and went on to Mount Eaton, Ohio, where he was apprenticed to the shoemaker’s trade, and afterwards followed this trade for a number of years, achieving good success. He came to Missouri and settled in this county, where he continually resided, except during the war, until his death. Uncle John was Fillmore’s village shoemaker in the early days, and it is told of him that when in need of stock and supplies for his work, he only regarded it as pastime to walk to St. Joseph, make his purchases and return the same way the following day. He succeeded in accumulating sufficient means to buy a farm in this county, near the Hollister Mill which he owned and occupied at the time of his death, and was managed by one of his sons.

He married Miss Celia Cooper, soon after the war. She died in 1868. In 1872, he married Miss Elizabeth Forney, who died November 20th, 1907. To the latter union, four sons and three daughters were born: two daughters died in infancy. He leaves to mourn their loss, which is his gain, a brother, J. F., of Angleton, Tex.; a sister, Mrs. Philip Forney, of Nodaway township; five children, Philip E., Wm. W., Frederick O., John H., and Flora A., all living on the homeplace, and a host of other relatives and friends, for he was universally loved and esteemed.

He professed faith in Christ in early life, joining the M. E. church. Later he became a member of the United Brethren church, and the funeral services were held from the M. E. church in Fillmore, Saturday last, the burial being in the Fillmore cemetery. Rev. Phend, pastor of the U. B. church, at Maitland, conducted the services.

A shocking accident befell Miss Flora Hurst, on Monday of this week, March 20th, which cost her her life.

The unfortunate young woman, with her two brothers, Fred and William, with a housekeeper, Miss Burns, occupy the old Hurst homestead, on the Nodaway, near the Leach Mill. On Monday afternoon, Miss Flora went out into the yard and began raking the yard, and soon had a good pile of trash together, to which she applied a match, and in a little while the trash heap was burning, and she continued at her raking. In a few minutes she discovered her skirt was afire, and she tried to put it out; failing, she ran to the house, and by the time she arrived, her whole body was aflame. By the aid of those at home, the fire was extinguished, but not until her entire body had been burned to a crisp.

Dr. Miles, of Fillmore, was called, and Mrs. Williams, of Forest City, as nurse, was also called, and everything possible was done to relieve her, but to no avail, she dying a little after midnight, Monday night.

She was 22 [sic] years of age, and was the daughter of John Hust [sic] and wife, who died several years ago. Funeral services were held Wednesdty [sic], at Fillmore, the interment being beside her parents in the cemetery of that place. We hope for an obituary next week.

Her mother preceded her to the other evergreen shore on November 20, 1907, and her father on October 7, 1909.

She was converted and joined the United Brethren church in October, 1899, where she remained a consistent member, keeping that faith until her departure.

While cleaning and burning the trash from the yard surrounding the house, her clothing caught on fire, the flames nearly stripping her body of all the clothing, burning and searing her body so she suffered intensely with pain and agony, but she endured all her sufferings and intense paints with the best of Christian patience until she was relieved of her misery a few hours after the accident had happened by the death angel and passed peacefully away.

Four brothers and many other relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss which is her eternal gain.

She was a loving sister and loved by all who knew her.

She has gone but she leaves the sweet consolation behind that she is with Jesus, who shed his precious blood for her.

May we meet her over there on that bright, shining, evergreen shore by and by, where there shall be no pain, sorrow or trouble, but all shall be joy, peace and happiness forevermore.
