Milwaukee News: We are sorry to hear of the death of Ed Johnson at his mother's near Vanzandt school Friday. Funeral services were held at Exeter Sunday afternoon. A Peculiar Case:
An unusual case has developed in Taney County, where an electric power company, installed a dam and generating station to furnish electric current to several Southwest Missouri towns. When the dam was built, a lake was formed about it that spread out over a farm of Geo. Vanzandt. Farming land is said to be scarce in that section and a river bottom farm is even more valuable than in other parts of the state. Mr. Vanzandt asks the power company to pay home for changing his farm into a lake, the company declines to pay damages and the court will be called on to settle this case. Dead:
Mrs. Isabelle Reese, wife of Al Reese, died Thursday, March 19, 1914, at her home in this city, after a short illness, age 36 years, 1 month, and 29 days.
