became involved in a row, when Dick Wilson became
involved in the difficultly and cut Bise in the head
with a knife. The cuts are serious and may result in the

shop at Ullin.”—Darrel Dexter)

The Pulaski Patriot, Saturday, 12 Nov 1887:
Mr. H. H. Weiting, an old resident of this county,
died at his home near Villa Ridge last Monday. Mr.
Weiting has been ill some time and his death was not
unexpected.
Miss Bertha Waugh is lying very ill at her home in
Cairo. She has a severe attack of typho-malarial fever.
Tuesday, the 8th, our esteemed friend and
citizen, H. H. Weiting passed away from a life of
usefulness into the reward promised those who are faithful
to the end. Mr. Weiting has long been a sufferer
from heart and liver difficulties; a few days since he
contracted pneumonia which his constitution was unable to
stand and the result was the grim monster came with his
sickle keen and gathered in the soul of our beloved brother
for his eternal life on high; he was 63 years of age; was a
faithful, conscientious Christian, a kind, courteous
neighbor and a true upright man, highly esteemed by
everybody. (Villa Ridge)
Last Monday, while cutting down a tree, John Atherton
received severe injuries about the head by the tree falling
on him. His recovery is very doubtful. The tree also fell
on one of Mr. Stringer's little boys, who
miraculously escaped injury. (Pulaski)
With sadness we announce the demise of Mr. Henry Weiting,
at his home last Tuesday. In his death we lose another aged
and respected citizen. (Pulaski)
A young man named Wes Milford and a son of William
Britt engaged in a quarrel at church at Center last
Friday night, which resulted in Milford stabbing
Britt in the shoulder, inflicting a painful wound. They
were arrested and lodged in jail. It is high time a stop
was being put to the ill behavior at church. These shooting
and cutting scraped are too frequent occurrences. (Pulaski)
Maggie, daughter of George Ingram, one of our
respected colored citizens died last Monday. (America)
(The father may be the same person as George
Ingram, who married Lucy Morris on 9 Mar 1876, in
Pulaski Co, Ill.—Darrel Dexter)
