Charles M. Lee Dead:


Charles M. Lee, a substantial farmer and stockman, and one of the county's oldest native born citizens, quietly passed into the sleep which knows no waking at his home about two and one half miles south of town at 1:00 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, February 21, 1915, from kidney trouble and complication of diseases.

For months he had been on a general decline. At times his conditions were pronounced serious but his strong manly from with stood his aliments until temporary relief was brought. Saturday night his ailments became serous and he gradually grew worse until the various diseased conquered his once vigorous body.

He was 74 years, 6 months, and 14 days old and was born at the Lee Spring, one mile south of town, August 9, 1840. He was a son of the late Miller and Nancy Lee and was the youngest child in a family thirteen children. Mrs. Tennessee Bare of Eureka Springs, Ark., is the only surviving member of this large family. With the exception of a short time, spent in the civil War he lived on a part of his father's farm all his life. He was been twice married and leaves two children from his first marriage. They are Will Lee of California and Mrs. Florence Siler of Newtonia, Newton County. In September 1873 he was married to Sarah E. Erwin. To them was born five children, two of who are living Illus, who is engaged in the practice of law at Kansas City and Wear who resides on the home place.

The deceased was an excellent example of the sturdy manhood and aggressive personality of the early type of citizens of the county. By nature he was a close student of affairs relating to the general progress of this county and community. He was a man of strong convictions and never hesitated to express his views upon any question which came up. He was independent in thought; kind of disposition and a friend to every body. In his death the county and community in which he practically lived all his life has lost one of its most substantial citizens.

The funeral services will be held Thursday morning at 11 o'clock in charge of Rev. J. T. Brattin at the Cassville Cemetery where burial will be held.

Fatal Accident:


Oshea Cox, 21 years old and a son of James Cox of Joplin, accidentally shot and killed himself, Saturday morning between eight and nine o'clock at his father's home. The sad and unfortunate incident occurred while he was cleaning a 38 caliber revolver. In testing the results of his work he snapped the gun and the bullet which he failed to notice in the chamber of the gun took its effect in his right temple. He lived about three hours.

His body was brought here Sunday and interred at the Horner Cemetery following funeral services conducted at the Horner church by Rev. Chappell.

The deceased was a nephew of Dan Cox, Mrs. Joseph Baker and Mrs. J. C. Ireland of near town. Besides a father he leaves two brothers to mourn his untimely death. The family resided in this locality some years ago.
