Robert Schifferly, whose father and
mother live in lockwood, was killed in
rail road accident near Red Bull,
ILL.,, one day last week and the body
was brought to Bonnie Terre for bur-
ial Thursday. Quite a few, people
went over to Bonnie Terre in their
automobiles to attend the funeral SER
vices which were held at the Bonnie
Terre cemetery. Mr.. Schifferly was a
brother to Mrs. T. r. Tolleson of
| Leadwood.
The funeral of little Helen Furry,
which was held in William Buehl's
home Thursday of last week, was at
tended by large crowd of people.
The funeral sermon was preached by
the pastor of the Methodist church
and Mrs. S. E. Williams sung by re-
quest "Well Never Say Goodbye in
Heaven. Mr.. and Mrs. Furry are
very highly respected here at Lead
wood where they lived for long
time, and Helen was loved by all who
knew her. She was sick only very
short time, having had part in a
Christmas entertainment at Carter
vile, where they lived. The st.
Johns Methodist church at Carter
vile where she was a member, sent
many beautiful flowers which were
strewn upon her grave.
Quite a bit of moving took place in
Leadwood Thursday of last week. DR..
D. H. Mckenzie moved to his new res
idence which was formerly owned by
DR.. Appleberry, and B. A. Rea moved
into DR.. McKenzie's old home place
which he has bought from DR.. Nc
Kenzie, and Prof. D. E. Mothersead
moved to the house formerly occupied
by B. A. Rea. DR.. Mckenzie will now
have his Office where DR.. Appleberry's
office was, and B. A. Rea will be much
nearer his drug store. Of course
Prof. Mothersead will have a longer
walk to school but this is not so bad
when you remember that he ate sc
much frog meat at Iron Mountain lake
last summer that he can jump twice
, IS far as any other man.
f Ernest Mason returned last week
from another one of those strange
visits to far off Fayette, Mo, which he
is known to make rather often. AL
sorts Of opinions have been advanced
| as to what it is about the town OF
Eayette that is SO attractive to Mr.
S Mason but nobody has been able tt
make the matter entirely clear. 1t is
= said, however, that there is a LITTLE
Q blond girl over there which Mr.. Masor
= is known to have great deal of sym
n pathy for and this may account TO
e his long trips. The writer is of tn
e opinion that Epsy Jackson went out o
8 the furniture business here in Lead
S wood too soon.
