KIZZIE (WINDMILLER) HACK - Died, at New Salem, Ill , Oct. 23, 1900, John Hooper, aged 77 years and one month. The subject of this sketch was bon at Batavia, Ohio, Sept. 23, 1823. Losing his father when he was 8 years old, he went to live with an older brother at Point Pleasant, Ohio. Another brother having moved to Illinois, he too came a the age of 14, residing for one year in Coles county. In 1838 he came to Pike county, making his home with his sister, Margaret Crump in New Salem township. Here for 62 years he has resided. Oct. 4, 1844, he was married to Mary A. Shinn, also a resident of New Salem, who survives him, through sun shine and shadow for 56 years they weathered the storms of life together. Unto them were born eleven children six sons and five daughters. Of these four sons and three daughters still live and although residing in different and distant states, they were all present at his bedside during his last illness, with loving hands and aching hearts ministering to his every want. At the age of 20 he joined the M. E. church and has been a constant and consistent member ever since. With a kindly nature he drew and held to him in bonds of friendship those with whom he associated during his long and active life, and the many anxious enquiries from young and old regarding "Uncle John," as he was called by all, during his last illness, was a touching evidence of the esteem in which he was held by all who knew him. A kind and loving husband, father, friend has passed beyond the "gates that never outward swing," and the devoted wife, the loving children, the dear friends are left with only the fond recollection of what he was to them, and the pleasing assurance. . . .

ALEXANDER HAMILTON - At his residence in this city on Saturday, March 22, 1879, of apoplexy, Alexander Hamilton, aged 48 years, 6 months and 12 days. Another of our old residents has passed away. Another well known business man has gone. It is our solemn duty to again record the death of one of our fellow citizens. Although it was a well known fact that Mr. Hamilton had been in declining health for about a year past, his death last Saturday was a surprise to nearly everyone. He had been confined to his bed for about two weeks previous to his death but seemed to be feeling better than usual that morning and betokened no change for the worse until about four o'clock in the afternoon when it became apparent to those at his bedside that his end was drawing nigh. Northing was left undone that would tend to the relief of the sufferer, but all was in vain. He quietly and peacefully closed his eyes in death at 4:30 o'clock pm and the spirit departed from whence it came. Alexander Hamilton was born at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, September 10, 1830. He emigrated to this country in the year 1850 in company with his mother and three brothers - William, Thomas and John, and located at St. Louis, Mo., where he resided for several years, working at his trade - tailoring. He came to Illinois in the year 1860 and settled at this place. At the breaking out of the war he was one of the first to enlist and served three years in the defense of his country. He returned to this city at the close of the war and has resided here ever since, carrying on the merchant tailoring business. He was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Rankin July 5th, 1866, and she with his aged mother and one brother, John, survive him. Mr. Hamilton was one of our most prominent citizens and was respected and revered by everyone. He was ever identified with anything tending to advance the interest of our community. He was charitable, generous and kindhearted and was always ready to lend the helping hand to the needy and suffering. He was a shrewd business man, just in all his dealings and enjoyed a reputation well worthy of the aspirations of any one. He was true to his friends in all of his relations with them, and few men had as few enemies. His loss will be deplored by the entire community. The funeral was held at the family residence last Monday and was attended by a vast concurrence of people. The services were conducted by Rev. J.F. Phillips and he was buried with imposing ceremonies by the Masonic Lodge, of which he was a member. The procession from the house to the cemetery was the grandest and most impressive ever beheld in this city. The two orders - Masonic and Odd Fellows - to which he belonged were largely represented and marched to the time of a dirge played by Woods' Helicon Band. The casket containing the remains of the deceased was borne to the place of interment by the pall bearers who number sixteen - eight Masons and eight Odd Fellows.

LOUISE (HOPKINS) HAMILTON - A gloom of sadness overcast this community Sunday afternoon when a telegram was received stating that Mrs. Curry Hamilton had died sudden­ly at her home in Denver, Colo. The latest news received from her and her husband before that was to the effect they were planning to come here next week for a visit, and thus it can only be imagined how sadly the husband's journey was made under the present conditions. Sunday morning she was preparing to go to Sunday School and Curry was out in the yard talking to a neighbor. Shortly he went into the house and inquired of Katherine Hildebrand if Louise was ready. He was told that she was dressing and upon going into their room he found her unconscious lying on the floor. A physician was quickly summoned, but death had preceded him. Mrs. Hamilton was the daughter of Capt. and Mrs. B. B. Hopkins of Griggsville, and was born here on September 23, 1869. She attended the public schools from which she graduated and later became a teacher in them. During her experience as a teacher she was dearly loved by her pupils and many of them sincerely re­gretted upon passing at the close of the school year and leaving her. Her friends were numbered by every one with whom she came in contact. Possessing a rare, sweet disposition and charming personality, Louise was loved and highly esteemed by all who knew her. She was united in marriage to J. Curry Hamilton in St. James Episcopal church on August 27, 1903, and while their union was not blessed with children, their married life has always been a most in- happy and congenial one. After the the wedding they went to Denver Colo., which has since been their home. Besides her husband and parents, she is for survived by three sisters. Mrs. Thomas Fox and Miss Annie, of Griggsville, Mrs. T. T. Tompkins of Pittsfield, of and two brothers, Robert and Benjamin of Griggsville. The remains arrived here Tuesday evening accompanied by her husband, John Donovan and George Leitch, and were taken to the home of her parents, where funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 3:30, conducted by Rev. J. H. Dew-Brittain. They were attended by a large in number of relatives and friends who most sincerely sympathize with the bereaved family. The pall bearers were Thomas Yates, John Lasbury, Thos. Simpkin, Jr., Thomas, Rufus and Roy Hitch. Interment took place in the Simpkin-Brown cemetery, only a short distance from the Hopkins home place.

HUMPHREY HARLOW - HUMPHREY HARLOW KILLED BY A TRAIN: Humphrey Harlow, an aged and respected citizen of Nebo was killed by a through freight train Sunday afternoon at 12:25 o'clock. He was 82 years of age and was in the best of health. He had visited all his children the last week, and had spent Sunday (should be Saturday) night with his son Harvey living three miles south of this city. Sunday morning he started to walk to his home about a mile west of Nebo, when he was approached by engine No. 318, pulling train No. 33. The train crew first saw him while rounding a curve at a distance of about a quarter of a mile. At first the train crew thought he was the track walker. On seeing him, the engineer blew the whistle several times, but he made no effort to get off the track. He was walking on the ties in the center of the track, and as the train came nearer him he made no effort to get out of the way. The engineer applied the air brake, but it was impossible to stop the train before it struck him. He was thrown about 40 feet to the ground, and the body rolled about 20 feet. Both legs were broken just below the knees, his right lower jaw was broken and a deep wound made just below the eye. The train was stopped as soon as possible and the conductor went back to where the body was thrown, and found that death had been instantaneous. The head brakeman was left in charge of the body until help could arrive. The brakeman stayed until two men arrived, who were left in charge. He then flagged the 12:04 passenger and came to Pleasant Hill where he caught his train. After the accident No. 83 ran to Pleasant Hill and the agent notified the county coroner of the accident. The coroner ordered the body brought to Pleasant Hill, the remains being placed in a wagon and hauled here. The inquest was held in the undertaking rooms of L. E. Oakley where the body was prepared for burial, and later in the evening the remains were taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jennings until the funeral Monday afternoon. All of the children were present at the inquest. The Grapes, Mayo L. Galloway, J.R. Galloway, Chas. Willsey, A.T. Brant & JnoWindmiller. Verdict of the jury: "That Humphrey Harlow came to his death by being struck by engine No. 318, pulling first train No. 83, on the C. & A. railroad, running west from Nebo, IL, to Pleasant Hill, IL and by further evidence given, this accident was wholly unavoidable on the part of the aforesaid train crew."

JAMES M. HIGGINS was born in Montgomery county, Maryland, July 30, 1808, and died in Griggsville, Illnois, Sept. 29, 1889. He was graduated from the medical department of Colum­bia College, Washington, D. C., March 11, 1829, and for more than half a cen­tury was a successful physician. Jan, 25, 1831, he married Miss Margaret Davis, in Bourbon county, Kentucky, emigrating the following spring to Jacksonville, Ill., where he remained until November, 1834, when be removed with his family to Griggsville. Of seven children only three are now living. Dr. and Mrs. Higgins were among the char­ter members of the Methodist Episcopal church, organized in 1835, and Dr. Higgins was the first class leader. In 1840 he was elected representative to the State legislature and in 1848 was ap­pointed medical superintendent of the Illinois State Hospital for the Insane at Jacksonville, supervising the erection of the original building, opening the institution in the, fall of 1851, and super­intending it acceptably until the sum­mer of 1854, when he returned to Griggsville, where he has since resided. except in 1862-3, when he was surgeon of the 114th Regt. Ill. Vols. Dr. Higgins possessed unusual vigor of intel­lect, and a refined literary taste. The ancient classics were his delight, and I his last years when some avenues of enjoyment were closed to him, he found companionship among his books, often pursuing lines of study usually attract­ive only to younger men. He was great­ly interested in all the political, scien­tific and religious movements of the day, and was thoroughly conversant with much of modern thought. Gentle and courteous in manner, with a tempera­ment in harmony with the young, he also sympathized with those of his own age, and gladly lent a helping band to any in distress. Sensitive to injury though he was, no spirit of resentment appear­ed in word or deed; but he sought rather to envelop all in a mantle of charity broad as the universe. His genial smile and cheerful greeting will be missed by neighbor and friend, but over the family circle, whose head he was for fifty-nine years, has fallen the shadow of a great sorrow. Wife, children and grandchildren will estimate their loss in the light of all he was to them--loving, tender and patient, en­dearing himself to them more and more as age with its infirmities crept upon him. Sadly they watched, as, with preternatural clearness of mind, he marked every indication of the approach of that foe whom all must meet. Calmly be awaited the loosening of the silver cord of life, and, with infinite trust in a loving Father, “Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams,” he entered into rest.

ROOBLE B. HOYT - A sad and most thrilling accident occurred to Rooble B. Hoyt, a fourteen- year- old son of Mr. James Hoyt, at the residence of Charley Lippincott last Sunday, resulting in his death. The boy, after attending Sunday School at the M.E. church, accompanied his borthers to visit their aunt, Mrs. Lippincott, and make inquiry about their grandmother, and while there engaged in play with the children. In amusing themselves the hay mow was resorted to and soon they began sliding down. By some means a pitchfork had been placed under the hay with the handle down, and while descending, Rooble was struck under the chin, one tine of the fork entering his head nearly if not fully eight inches and breaking off. Dr. McKinney was called and it was only with the greatest difficulty that the broken tine could be extracted. The poor boy suffered the operation without taking the slightest narcotic and bore up with great fortituded during the excruciating pain of the few hours allotted to him thereafter. He died at noon on Monday and the funeral took place from the M.E. church at 2 pm. Tuesday, a large number of relatives and friends being present. Rooble is spoken of as an intelligent and well behaved boy, and to see him cut down just as he was entering a career of usefulness was a terrible blow to the bereaved parents, who have the sympathy of the entire community

SYLVESTER HOYT - The Griggsville Indepetulent of May the 9th, published in Pike county, contains the announcement of the death of Sylvester C. Hoyt, a brother of H.M. Hoyt, of this city. The deceased was born in Vermont on the llth of October 1837. In making the announcement the Independent pays this tribute to his memory: "It gives us pain this week to record the death of Mr. S. C. Hoyt, which occurred Sunday evening at his home in this city. He had been ill but a few days and at no time was his condition considered dangerous until death was| near at hand. His sudden departure was a great shock to the family and the community generally. He was loved and respected by everybody, and most, by those who knew him best. Coming here more than a half century ago, Mr. Hoyt was active in the up-building of the town in its pioneer days and engaged in merchandising and other business enterprises. Possessed of unusual mental ability he was sought much for council, and always gave freely to the best of his ability, and to many who thus looked to him for advice as to a father, the loss will be particularly great. Always taking a deep interest in the advancement of religious work he was especially active in the Congregational church, of which he was a member for some fifty odd years, and it can well be said that one of its strongest pillars has been removed.”
