Mrs. J. c. Caldwell.
STORY OF HER MURDER
Wichita People Know Her
Home in Mexico.

Nellie S. Gore, whose tragic death in
Paris. France, early in the week. has
caused such interest in Europe and Amer
lea. was happy, roliicl1lng little girl in
Wichita % years ago
Her father. Rev. ]. ". stogdin, became
pastor OF the First Methodist church on
April 70 1873. and died six months later,
on October IS. 1873 His body is buried
in Highland cemetery and a simple monu-
nent, erected by the Methodist confer
eace-then known as the Emporia confer
ence-marks his grave
The Eagle OF April 10. 1873. records his
coming here. B. ". Smith and Banker
Fraber having attended the conference
at which he was assigned Colonel Muir
dock had pleasant ACQUAINTANCE with him
at BurllnGape for some years. and intro
duced him here as an exceptionally brill
liant man and pulpit orator of great
force. The Eagle of October II recorded
his death and two issues later the fact
was recorded that the mite society of the
church secured a purse Of $1o3 for his fam
stances at the time.
Rev. Stogdin preached a sermon here on
May % 1873. that created much comment
on account OF its brilllancy. His subject
was Future Punishment"
For three weeks after Mr. StogdnTs
death the family stayed with Mrs. J. c.
Caldwell. At the end of that time they
went TO Mrs StogdfIs old home in In
diana
Mr.. stogdfl left two sons and two
daughters orphans. the youngest being
Nellie. One of the boys who had almost
reached manhood went to California and
became quite a prominent citizen there.
Some six years after leaving here Mrs.
Stogdin died. leaving an uncompleted
poem Of extraordinary merit embracing
counsel to her children. This poem reach
ed here and was read in the Methodist
church. 1t was also published in the
Eagle with comments highly compliment
airy TO the talent manifested in it's compo-
sition. 1t was placed in the archives of
the church. but it is thought that it was
destroyed in the fire which came later.
This fire also destroyed valuable data
with reference to the church, including
some regarding the passionate Of Rev. Mr..
Stogdill
Nrs. J. c. Caldwell was then and now
very earnest and jealous worker in the
Methodist church. She knew Mr. and
Mrs. Stogdill better than probably any
body else now living in the city. She and
Mrs. Stogdill eorresponded for some time
after the death of Mr.. stogdill II was
the custom OF Mrs. StoGdin while she
lived 70 have her husbands grave deco
rated with flowers every memorial day.

apostolic succession, and he said that
the claims of that other church are not
well founded.
The speaker then took up the Refor-
nation and declared unhesitatinsly
church was in need of reform. Not as
to her doctrines, but as to the prac-
tice of them and as to the morals of
the clergy. Admitting that these things
needed reforming, he asked what that
had to do with the church ceasing TO
be the true church of Christ.
III every pope" said he, from St.
Peters succession down to Leo XIII
was Il scheming, grasping hypocrite,
what would that have to do with the
question:. Does the Catholic church
teach what Christ taught"
Father Valentine declared that Mar
tin Luther was led to break away from
the old church because of wounded
pride, and said that if God was the
moving spirit in the reformation he
would most certainly never have Sc
lected such an instrument as Luther
for that work. He characterized him
as a man of lust, who had broken his
double VOWS of chastity taken as n
priest and as IL member of II religious
order.
The lecture tonight will be devoted
to the doctrine of the real presence of
Christ in the holy eucharist
