CHAUNCEY LAWSON HIGBEE
- died suddenly of apoplexy on Sunday. Judge Higbee, it is stated, had been feeling quite ill for the last week, but his physician did not attribute it to any serious cause, consequently his attack, which caused him to drop from his chair dead, was a terrible shock to his family and to the community in which he resided.
Judge Higbee was one of the Circuit Judges in this District, and was also on the bench of the Appellate Court of this (the Third) District, and his eminence as a jurist is well known all over the State. He has also occupied a high position in the councils of the Democratic party, being virtually the leader of the party in Pike county. his prominence in all circles must necessarily bring profound sorrow to his friends and acquaintances regardless of class or political faith.
Judge Higbe was elected Circuit Judge for four terms, the first time in 1861. He was elected Judge of the Appellate Court six years ago. It is reported that on Saturday he told the Hon. J. M. Bush that he would not consent to remain on the judicial bench longer than this year, when his fourth term as Circuit and Appellate Judge would expire, and he would retire to public life. In 1845 he was publishing a paper at Nauvo. Ill., when his office material was put into the Mississippi river and he was warned by the Mormons to leave the place on penalty of death. He thereupon removed to Pittsfield to reside, where he practiced law successfully for a long time, and, as stated, in 1861 was elected Judge.
He began his professional career at the bar of Pike County about the year 1847, and rapidly rose to distinction in his profession and to importance as a political leader in the Counties embraced in what is known as the "Military Tract" in this State. After serving one term in the House of Representatives as a member of the Nineteenth General Assembly, he was elected to the State Senate, serving two sessions in that body - those of 1859 and 1861, retiring in June to accept his first judicial election.
As a man Judge Higbee earned the warmest regard of al his acquaintances. As a jurist, he stood second to none of his associates upon the Appellate bench. As a politician he was well-informed, sagacious and shrewd, and had the complete confidence of his party throughout the State. He was a native of Clermont county, Ohio, where he was born in 1820. In 1854 he married Julia White, niece of the late Hon. I. N. Morris of this city. His wife survives him, together with a son and daughter - Harry Higbee, presently practicing law at Minneapolis, and Susie Higbee, living at home at Pittsfield. Judge Higbee was possessed of a large amount of property.

The Quincy Whig, Thursday May 5, 1892 page 8 The author of this one must have been paid by the word or had space to fill.Death of Albert HurtAfter a long and painful illness, lasting more than a year, Mr. Albert Hurt of this city, died Saturday morning at 4 o’clock. Everything possible was done for the sufferer, the best medical and surgical skill of Chicago and this city being exhausted in vain efforts to arrest the progress of the fatal malady that terminated his life. He was patient and hopeful, and it seems hard that he should be taken from his devoted family in the very prime of life, for he was but 39 years of age. Mr. Hurt had many warm friends, who will grieve to hear of his death. He will be missed by them, for he was a man whose kindly disposition and social qualities impressed themselves upon all who came within the range of his acquaintance. For the afflicted wife and three little girls left to mourn his loss there will go out the deepest sympathy of the community. Fondly attached to his family, his loss to them will indeed be great, yet they will have all the consolation afforded by the memory of a loving husband and father, whose every thought was for their happiness and comfort and whose pure life gives them assurance that they may meet him in a better world, where there will be no more parting forever.Mr. Hurt was born in Barry, ill., and has resided in this city during the past twelve years. In that time he has filled responsible positions in the wholesale boot and shoe house of Kingsbury, Blasland & Co., the wholesale cracker and confectionery house of Brown Bros., and in charge of the shipping department of the Thomas White Stove Co. Four brothers survive him, three living in Barry, Ill. and one in Boise City, Idaho.Friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral without further notice on Monday afternoon at 8 o’clock. The services will be in charge of Bodley lodge, No. 1, F. & A.M., of which body he held a high position of worshipful master at the time of his death.

in the first days battle at Shiloh and was removed from the field to a hospital boat. On the morning of the second day, in the opening battle he returned to the line and remained at the head of his company
during the day, when victory perched on the banner of the Union army. Mr. Hurt became interested
in politics early in life, and in 1852 was elected sheriff of this county on the Whig ticket. Of late years
he has been an ardent Republican. He was sick sixteen days and died of dysentery and kidney trouble.
The funeral took place from the M.E. church yesterday afternoon, Rev. W.S. Calhoun holding the
Services. Dr. Baker also spoke feelingly of his dead friend.
