Charging that the death of their seventeen-year-old son was caused from injuries suffered when he was attacked by James Honan, a former policeman, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Billups have filed suit against Honan in the circuit court for $5,000 damages.
Everly [sic] Emerson Billups, a newsboy, was selling papers at Union Passenger Station last September, the petition alleges, when the officer struck the boy on the head, causing a nervous injury. Billups was sent home. His death took place four months later, and the petition recites that it was directly due to the treatment by the policeman.
At Central Police Station today it was said there had been no report of any trouble between Honan and Billups. Last January Honan resigned from the force. He was considered an efficient officer.”

To this union were born 3 children, Mrs. Ida Smith, Mrs. Mary Cassaday and Larkin McIntire. In November 1870 his wife died. On December 14, 1871 he was united in marriage to Rachel Lalicker. In his departure, he leaves to mourn his death, his devoted wife, and three children, Twenty-two Grandchildren and nineteen Great Grandchildren, besides a host of friends.
In March 1874 he made a Profession of Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and united with the Flag Springs Baptist church of which he remained a faithful member and Deacon until his death. August 2, 1861 he enlisted in Company A, 10th regiment Missouri Infantry Volunteers. He was honorably discharged, August 24, 1864, having served three years faithfully as a private. During his lifetime he resided on the same farm near Flag Springs, Mo. for more than 50 years. During all this time his life has been one beyond reproach. The welfare of his family was first in his mind. A kind husband, a loving father, and a good neighbor. He was honest, industrious and an upright man. His character and life has been such that in after years his family will rise up and call blessed, to know him is to love him. During his last illness which covered a period of more than three years, he bore his affliction very patiently. All that loving hands could do was done to relieve his suffering, but to no avail. On Saturday morning he fell peacefully asleep. His wife and three children were at his bedside in his last hours. On Monday afternoon, at 2:30 pm o'clock, the funeral services were conducted at the Whitesville Masonic Fraternity, and the remains were laid to rest in the Whitesville Cemetery.

It is with infinite sadness that we chronicle the death of one of Andrew counties [sic] pioneer citizens, a man loved and respected by all who knew him and whose name has always been synonomous [sic] of uprightness.
T. K. Smith, affectionately known to old and young as Uncle Tom, quietly and peacefully passed over the river, Wednesday night, November 26th.
The night before about 8:30 p.m. apparently in usual health he stepped out on the porch and a few moments later a member of the family heard him groaning. A search was instituted and it was found that he had fallen from the porch into the open cellarway. He was carried into the house and although unconscious there was only a slight wound on his head and it was not thought that he was so very badly injured. Dr. Peter was called and Doctor Houston. They decided that Uncle Tom had suffered an apoplectic stroke and probably fell from the porch into the cellar. He never regained consciousness and peacefully passed away.
To the bereaved relatives we extend our heartfelt sympathy. Uncle Tom has gone to join his loved companion who preceded him to the better land only a few months ago.-- Whitesville Banner
