Died, at the family residence, three
miles south OF this city, July II, 1876, Mrs.
Mary A, wife of Mr.. Leopold Schmidt.
The deceased was a lady who possessed
many noble qualities of mind and heart.
Quiet and of u~nassuming manners, kind
Iy in disposition and true to her friends,
she was respected and loved by all who
had the good fortune to know her. She
was born in St. Charles county, Mo-,
February Z, 1910, and was united in mar
riage with her bereaved husband October
IS, 1856, in the county of her birth. The
family moved to this county in October,
1888. The eldest son died and was buried
in st. Charles county, in 1884. Eleven
children of this happy union survive their
best friend, for a mothers love is more
valuable than all other treasures OF the
world. Mrs. Schmidt had suffered greatly
for the past five years with heart trouble,
and had been informed that she could not
hope to recover. She was perfectly re-
signed to her fate, and died as she had
lived, a firm believer in Christianity and
sure of eternal life in the world above.
Attacked at odd intervals with sudden
pains of the heart she was frequently so
low that recovery seemed impossible, but
she would rally for n time only to undergo
the same sufferings again. The last and
fatal attack occurred about 1 o'clock last
Friday morning, while she was seated in
a chair. She complained that she had a
strange feeling in her head, and imme-
diately afterwards peacefully passed away.
She was greatly beloved by all who knew
her, and her family have indeed lost a
true friend, a good and safe adviser and
one whose place can never be filled.
Always amiable, of mild and gentle dis
position, kind, courteous aud thoughtful

was naturally looked to for advice and
her unerring judgment was invaluable to
her husband, children and friends. Long
will this good lady be remembered by her
friends and deep is the grief of the
stricken family. All alike have the sin
cere sympathy OF this paper in their
bereavement.
Died, in st. Louis, July IS, 1896, of apop-
lexy, Mr.. Jack $. Williams, aged 40 years.
Stricken with apoplexy, he was sud
denly hurried away from the, bright
world and from the association of those
he loved so well. He was in the enjoy
ment of good health up to the very
moment the fell destroyer struck him
down. So sudden was the. icy hand laid
upon him that his loving family could
scarcely realize that their b~ig-hearted,
noble-souled friend, father and brother
was no more, and that they were bereft
OF his loving companionship until they
meet again in the bright beyond.
"Jack," as he was Familiarity called, was
born at Albany, N. Y, July %, 1877, and
had he lived four days longer would have
seen his 49th birthday. With his father
and mother he came to this city when a
mere infant, and resided here continu-
ously until about 1874, when he went to
st. Louis, where he was foreman of the
old Times newspaper for several years.
He afterwards went to Washington, D..
c., and occupied a similar position on the
Post OF that city, when it was under the
management OF Stilson Hutchings. Re-
turning to st. Louis, he was made fore
man of the Post-Dispatch by Joseph
Pulitzer, and was in the office the even
ing Col. job A. Cockerill shot and killed
Col. AlonZo Slayback. After that he was
employed in various printing Offices in
Louis, and was foreman on a weekly
publication at the time of his death. Be-
fore leaving Lexington he had worked on
all the papers here. He was foreman of
the old Register for many years.. His
first work, however, was as a typo on the
old Lexington Union, under H. &. Davis.
Afterwards he was engaged on the Ex-
press, and when the Caucasian was
started by Julian, Allen and Musgrove he
was employed upon it; and being a fine
newspaper man and job printer, his SER
vices were valuable to the office. At one
time he was foreman of the INTELLIGENT
GER. He also assisted in the publication
of the Lexington Daily Register, which
had a brief existence, being compelled to
down on account of the panic of
1873.
His wife died in St. Louis ten or twelve
years ago. She was well known in Lex
ington before her marriage as Miss Katie
and was a niece OF Mr.. Jake
She was related to the we'll
known Stokes family OF circus acrobats,
all of whom achieved fame and fortune.
His father and mother died in this city
many years ago. His brother, Howard, is
our worthy councilman from the first
ward. His youngest brother, Albert, and
only living sister, Mrs. Alice Schuster,
reside in st. Louis.
His body was brought to this city and
in Machpelah cemetery last
morning. A large number of
friends and acquaintances of the family
accompanied the remains to the grave.
