The Rolla New Era Rolla, Missouri May 17, 1884 Died, in Dillon Township, Phelps County, Mo., on May 13, 1884, Mrs. LOUISA J BEELER, daughter of SAMUEL ASH, residing near Iberia, Miller County, Mo., and wife of JOHN BEELER, deceased, in the 58th year of her age. Mrs. BEELER was born in Holston, Scott County, Virginia, in 1826, and soon after her marriage removed with her husband to Rutledge, Tennessee, where in 1852 they emigrated to their late home, now their final resting place. She was brought up in the faith of the Lutheran Church, but united with the Methodist Church in obedience to the wishes of her husband. She was a kind neighbor, an industrious housekeeper, a good wife and loving mother; filling the measure of the inspired Psalmist. "Lord my heart is not haughty. Nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, Or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, As a child that is weaned of its mother; My soul is even as a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the Lord, From henceforth and forever."

3 months. The funeral services were held at the house Monday

her many friends in her deep affliction.
Tender Shepherd, thou hast stilled,
Now Thy little lamb's brief weeping;
Ah! how peaceful, pale, and mild,
In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping!
And no sigh of anguish bore,
Heaves that little bosom more.
In this world of care and pain,
Lord, Thou would'st no longer leave it;
To the sunny heavenly plain,
Thou dost now with joy receive it;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with Thee in light.
-- B.F. Poole.

A large concourse of friends and relatives gathered at the grave on Iron Hill Cemetery near Cleavesdale, to pay their last tribute of respect to the honored dead.

The Rolla New Era
Rolla, Missouri
January 11, 1896
Died at his home on Little Piney, near Yancy Mills, Phelps
County, on November 26, 1895, Mr. JAMES LANE, aged 63 years, 8
months and 14 days. He was born in Putnam County, Ind., March
12, 1832. His death was caused by typhoid fever and neuralgia of
the breast. It makes our hearts ache to give up our dear father,
relatives or friends, but God knows what is best. Just before
his death he had been praying, and his last words were "God is
with me." What a comfort to the bereaved widow and children.
The deceased leaves two children -- GEORGE W. LANE and MARY J.
KING -- two sisters and one brother, Mrs. RUHAMA ZIMMERMAN, Mrs.
ABBIE GILL WISHON and Mr. PLEASANT LANE, who will miss his kind
welcome. Let this thought comfort the surviving relatives and
friends. All his afflictions are over; his trust was in the Lord
and He is able to keep that which is committed to him.
His remains were laid to rest in the Beaver Cemetery on Thursday,
November 28, 1895.
We miss thee from our home, father,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow o'er our lives is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face,
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
-- Mrs. Mary J. King,
Yancy Mills, Mo., Jan. 4, 1896.
