Unknown newspaper and date x Buried Riffe Cemetery, stone reads Louetta O'Dell 1877 - 1957 OOOO Ogg, Temple The Missourian writes sad lines in reporting the death of Temple Ogg, the fifteen year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. J. Frank Ogg of six miles southwest of Richmond, Friday afternoon, of congestion of the lungs and heart trouble. Temple would have been 15 years old on May 16, 1910, and was a prime favorite with the entire neighborhood. Sunny and sweet, kind and pleasant - she will live ever in the memories of those who knew her well. Somewhat afflicted since a small child, her character blossomed out with sweetness more than human, and her death did pain many a heart, did overwhelm her loved ones with sorrow. The funeral and burial was at the Brown Cemetery on Saturday afternoon. Richmond Missourian, February 10, 1910 O O O O Oliphant, Alexander Major Oliphant, Alexander Major ALEXANDER OLIPHANT, from effects of injuries received from a fall in the City of Leavenworth, in the State of Kansas, after great suffering departed this life on the 22d day of September A. D., 1878, in the 73d year of his age. Alexander Oliphant was born at Marifield near Kelso, county of Roxborough, in Scotland, in 1806. He married Mrs. Martha Nisbet, widow of John Nisbet, dec. 7, A. D., 1837 in the county of Armagh, in Ireland. His wife survives him. He had two children, Mary G. Oliphant, now Matiland, wife of Alexander Maitland, and Ralph Oliphant, both of whom survive him. Johanna H. N. Nisbet was a daughter of Mrs. Martha Oliphant by her first husband, who married James W. Black, of Richmond, Missouri. She died Oct. 3d, A. D. 1860. In 1838, Mr. Oliphant left Scotland for the purpose of making his future home in the United States. In the same year he settled on his farm, seven miles North of Richmond, in Ray county, in the State of Missouri, where he remained until the day of his death. Mr. Oliphant having become a citizen of this country, always took a lively interest in its prosperity. In all the issues peculiar to a new country constantly springing up, he displayed a clear judgment and great thought in forming his conclusions. As a farmer he was active, enterprising and successful. His farm was a model of enterprise. Always ready to encounter the risk of the adoption of modern appliances and methods, he dept pace with the great progress in agriculture pursuits. In the raising of fruit and culture of the grapes, he displayed great art and brought to bear a knowledge of botany that only intense observation and study can supply and in whatever direction he turned his attention in the raising of staple productions, the introduction of improved quality of cereals, the raising of stock or culture of fruit of every character. He was not satisfied to tread the trodden path, but sought from observation and science, and treatlses (sic) upon the subject that knowledge which would enable him to keep fully up with the greatest advances of science. His dwelling, surrounded by plants and flowers, indigenous and exotic displayed his culture and taste and rendered his home a bower of beauty which a Shenstone or a Rogers might have envied. Amidst all his busy and active pursuits he still retained his love of the muses. Every department of knowledge received his attention. Mathematics never palled upon his taste, and by their varied applications, he took intense interest. Surveyor of the county in which he resided for a number of years, and subsequently undertaking large contracts of surveying under the government of the United States in the territory of Kansas, he made himself thoroughly master of the most complicated instruments and systems of surveying used in surveying large tracts of country. He made a specialty of Chemistry, Ornlthology and Pyrotechny. He had a rare and valuable collection of birds of the various specie peculiar to the West, and studied with care their habits and peculiarities. A devoted lover of Chemistry, he spent a portion of his time in its experiments and applications and pyrotechny, furnished a means for some of its most striking illustrations as well as amusement for his leisure hours. Turning from severer pursuits, music would relax his overstrained faculties and as the airs adapted to ballads and lyrics familiar to his youth welled from his favorite instrument, he would live over his life again and roam amidst the forests, and hills, and mountains and lakes of his native land. Mr. Oliphant graduated at Edinburgh College. He possessed a mind thoroughly disciplined by the most laborious and intense study. Possessing a ____ natural capacity, and aided by every facility for acquiring information, he explored a wide field of science and stored up a vast amount of knowledge. He was gifted with a memory strong, vigorous and grasping, which retained even in his old age, a tenacity of retention truly wonderful. His conversation was a rich and varied feast. Mr. Oliphant was a member of the Episcopal Church, enjoying full membership until the day of his death. He was distinguished for his social qualities. His society was sought by all. All would leave his social reunions not only feeling they had been pleased and entertained, but instructed. He was a kind friend, a devoted husband and affectionate father, and his family mourn him as one whose place can never be filled. He is gone, we can scarcely realize that one we loved so much shall never encourage us by his presence again that his cheerful countenance can never fill our heart with joy again. Around the family fireside, in the social circle will ever be the vacant chair, in the hearts of loved and loving ones is a void that never can be filled. A firm believer in the hopes and promises of the Christian religion, the religion that can paint beauty upon the cheek of death, and raise immortal glory from the grave, he could look death firmly in the face, and feeling that he had but a few short years yet to dwell on earth, calmly contemplated his dissolution. His body rests in the tomb upon the sunny hillside, amidst the beauties of nature he loved so well, and his spirit has returned to the bosom of his God who gave it. The loved ones will frequently visit the spot where he sleeps, and the hand of affection will decorate his grave with perennial plants _emblemstic of their minds in which his memory will never fade.

It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of another of Ray County's old and most highly respected citizens. Death is always and under all circumstances a melancholy event. Its visitation is at all times under truly sad and painful circumstances. The death of Major Oliphant occurred under circumstances truly afflicting. Major Oliphant, in company with Colonel James W. Black, attended the Kansas City Exposition on Thursday of last week. The Major was never more cheerful than on that occasion. While at the Kansas City Fair, he met with some of his Scotch friends and acquaintances from Leavenworth, ad went up there on Thursday night. They stopped at one of the hotels, Major Oliphant occupying a room to himself. On Friday morning, some time before daylight, he got up, the room being quite dark, and aimed to walk out of a door - but, mistaking the window for a door, he stepped out of a second-story window, reaching the pavement on one foot, causing a severe injury to the abdominal viscera, from the effect of which he died on Saturday night. Major Oliphant came to Missouri in 1838, stopping a short time at Liberty, in Clay County, and settled in Ray County, where he had lived until the time of his death. He was born in 1806 in Edinburg, Scotland, and had outlived his three-score and ten years, suddenly being stricken down while in the enjoyment of vigorous health, and away from home and family. Major Oliphant was buried at the family burying-ground at the Oliphant homestead, on Monday afternoon.
