MRS. J. A. LIVINGSTON DEAD

A beautiful and lovely life has closed on earth, leaving a handsome monument inscribed with good deed and an exemplary life, that had an admiration for the accomplishment of good for her acquaintances that would lead them to Christ and a better life. This was her earthly ambition to aid in making the world better, by pointing the way tot hat everlasting life of love and happiness in that glory land. Many of the girls and boys, now men and women, who went to school to her as teacher in Cassville, will vividly remember the blessed and lovely character of this good woman and how she counseled them for the better and nobler things, that would lead on and up to that better land, will drop a tear of sorrow at her calling?.

She died at 6 a.m., Monday morning, May 17, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Rose Stuckey in Monett, just with the awakening life of a new day, she went to sleep like a tired child. It was just as the birds caroled the coming of the morning and just as they rosy fingers of the orb of day tinted the eastern sky with a sheen of glory. Surely a fitting time for a pure spirit to take its flight heavenward.

Miss Mary Louise Statler was born in Shellsburg, Penn., Jan. 12, 1846 and died May 17, 1920, of paralysis, age 74 years, 4 months and 5 days. Dec. 26, 1866, she and Capt. John A. Livingston were married at his native home and immediately after, they moved to Neosho, Mo., where they resided until 1886, when they moved to Cassville and have lived here since. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and was a great worker in church, Sunday School and for the cause of temperance and never tired, as we can all testify too.

All her daughters, Mesdames Mary Dunkenson, Hatfield, Mo., Anna Roller of Cassville, Florence Kirk of Newton, Kan., and Rose Stuckey, Monett, were with her at her death. Her son Wm. and wife came Tuesday for the funeral. Her son-in-laws, Dr. Dunkeson of Hatfield, Mo., David D. Roller of Cassville, and Ross Stuckey were with her.

The remains were conveyed to this city, Tuesday, May 18, by Callaway Undertaking Co., and funeral services were conduct at the Presbyterian Church, at 2 p.m. by Rev's J. F. King of Monett and Denton R. Woods of Yale, Okla., where a large congregation of friends have assembled to pay the last tribute of love and respect to a blessed mother, friend, neighbor and citizen.

Many beautiful flora emblems were sent.

The remains were interred in Oak Hill Cemetery in this city in the family lot.

She was survived by her husband and five children.

DR. NORTHCUTT DROPS DEAD

Again was death an unwelcome and sudden visitor, taking a good man and citizen, a loving husband and an affectionate father to that country from whose borne no traveler returns. Again are we assured that life is uncertain and death is sure, carrying with it pangs of sorrow and grief at the separation.

George Thomas Northcutt was born in Arkansas, Oct. 31, 1866, and was a son of late Thomas D. and Mary E. Northcutt of near Fairview, Newton County. He was reared on the farm and on arriving at the age of manhood, studied medicine and later graduated from the Tennessee University at Nashville, Tenn., in 1896, and commenced the practice at Powell, McDonald County thence to Washburn, and in 1907, located at Seligman, where he lived 13 years and successfully followed his profession. On Oct. 14, 1896, he and Miss Lou Banks married and five children survive the father, who are Misses Marie, Jane and Louise at home and Mrs. Onida Cox and Willis Northcutt of Solomonsville, Arizona, and one grandson. Monday morning, May 17, he and wife went into the chicken yard to feed some chickens, when he suddenly fell and called to his wife, who asked him what ws the matter and he told her apoplexy. He was carried into the home and lived about twenty five minutes.

He is survived by five brothers and four sisters, who are: Odon and Jennings Northcutt of Cheney, Kan., Sydney Northcutt of Copland, Kan., Dr. Leon Northcutt of Purdy, Mo., Willis Northcutt of Rocky Comfort, Mo., Mesdames Darius Conrad of Fairview, Newton County, MO., G. M. Vaughan, Ballinger, Texas, A. Holman and Maud Chamberlain of San Angelo, Texas, Mrs. Conrad and Mrs. Chamberlain and Odon Jennings, Sydney, Willis and Dr. Leon attended the funeral.

The funeral has been delayed on account of the long distance Mrs. Cox and Willis his daughter and son had to come, and will be held Sunday, May 23, at the late home in Seligman, at 2 p. m., conducted by Rev. Marion Clanton.

He was a member of A. f. & A. M. and Odd Fellows.
