LOCKWOOD, J ??----On July 18^th, William Fenn found an aged man about 60 years of age in his corral exhausted from attempting to catch an old team of horses which had wandered off. Dr. Stafford wan notified as soon as the man was brought to town. His condition was such as to make it necessary to take him to the hospital.

For a long time he lingered between life and death due to his weakened condition, due to exposure, his unkempt body and his mental condition. The general opinion is that the man was demented and probably escaped from an insane asylum.

Nothing of any kind to identify him has been found except a fake oil stock certificate issued by the Carnegie Investment company to J Lockwood  Whether or not this is his name is imposable to ascertain.

Yesterday morning his condition became such that he passed away.  The case being one of the county he was buried yesterday.  Kemmerer Camera August 3, 1921

MADSEN, Mrs. Elmer----- Funeral services for Mrs. Elmer Madsen, age 31, who died at the Lincoln County Miners hospital last Wednesday were conducted by Bishop Jensen of the Diamondville L D.  S. church last Saturday afternoon at that place.

The opening prayer was by Henry Smith, and the speakers were George Huston, George Blacker and Bishop Jensen. The L. D. S. church choir sang several songs among which was I Know that My Father Knows.

Following the funeral services the body was taken to Kemmerer where it was placed on Number 17, and sent to Paris, Idaho, from which point it was taken to Bloomington, Idaho for interment.

Mrs. Madsen was one of the best-known and beloved women of her community. She is survived by her husband, an employee of the Diamond Coke and Coal company, and eight children, the oldest being 13 years of age. They are Mabel, Nyle, Nancy, Lenora, Nellie. Jennie, Kern, and Alice. The youngest child is but sixteen months, and the loss to the children can hardly be estimated.  The deceased is survived by three brothers and two sisters, all residents of Idaho, in the vicinity of Bloomington, in the beautiful Bear Lake valley.

Mrs. Madsen has lived in this neighborhood for several years and was always highly respected and honored by her acquaintances. Her illness was of several weeks duration, but was not considered serious until June 15th, when she was removed to the hospital, where an operation was performed For some time it was considered that her condition was improved, but death came when it was most unexpected.  Kemmerer Camera June 29, 1921

McDILL, Mrs. Winifred wife of Captain W. F. McDill, passed away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Jones, at 10 oclock Tuesday evening following a few days illness.  The cause of death was pneumonia.  Mrs. McDill developed a heavy cold one day last week and remained in bed, but the next day she felt much better and went to the home of her parents, where, shortly afterward, her condition grew worse, death relieving her suffering after five days.

Mrs McDill was 30 years of age and besides her husband is survived by two small daughters Phyllis and Blanche.  Their home is at McCammon, Idaho, but during her husbands absence in France , with her daughters she has been making her home here.

Funeral services, to be private, will be held at 11 a.m. today.  Mrs. McDill was married to Captain McDill ten years ago.  She also has three brothers in France , seeing military service.

A sad coincidence in connection with the death of Mrs. W. F. McDill is that a letter arrived for her on New Years day from her husband.  It came only a few hours after her death.  Several letters have been written to him by the deceased during the past few weeks, which he will receive after she had been laid at final rest.  Mrs. McDill, a most devoted and dutiful wife was anxiously awaiting that day when her husband would return from overseas, and never was she more happy than when telling of how she was going to prepare their home at McCammon for his reception.  Kemmerer Republican Friday, January 3, 1919

MOTT, J. M. Judge Last rites for J. M. Mott, for over twenty years a resident of Kemmerer were held last Monday afternoon at 2 oclock from the Episcopal church.  The Reverend M. B. Nash officiated and a number of the members of the church took part in the services, a last tribute to the man who had been identified with the progress and growth of Kemmerer almost from its birth.  A large number of automobiles constituted the cortege that followed the body to its interment in the city cemetery.  Mr. Mott died a week ago Tuesday in the Lincoln County Miners hospital following an attack of heart trouble.  He had successfully undergone an operation and up until the time of his death seemed to be in better health than at any time in the past six months.  With the passing of  J. M. judge Mott, Kemmerer loses another of the old-timers, who can remember and can describe minutely the passing of Kemmerer from one stage to another.  He numbered almost every man in the county as a friend, and his death will be deplored among hosts of the citizens.  The only relatives to be present at the services were brothers from Billings, Montana, and Denver, Colorado.  .  Kemmerer Camera December 28, 1921
