Miss Maggie Mather
Lawrenceville, September 6, 1880.--A sad accident occurred at Lindley, two
miles below this village, last Saturday afternoon. Two little girls,
Maggie Mather, aged 10 years, daughter of C. S. Mather, of this place, and
Blanche Middlebrook, aged 8 years, daughter of James Middlebrook, of Lindley,
were bathing in the race just below Hill’s saw mill during the dinner hour while
the mill gate was closed. The mill was started as usual at one o’clock,
the workmen being ignorant of the little girls presence on the premises.
The sudden rise of water carried the two girls out into the main stream.
The children clung together until the current brought them against the bridge
pier, when Maggie Mather sank to the bottom never to rise alive, but Blanche
managed to keep afloat until the current carried her to the opposite shore about
40 rods distant. She immediately informed the people at the nearest house
of the sad fate of the little Maggie, and a search was instituted for the body
which was found some three hours afterward in a deep hole in the river about 50
rods below the mill. The dead child was taken to the house of the parents
at once. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community
for the loss of a lovely child who was bright beyond her years. The
funeral will be held on Tuesday. (Tuesday, September 7, 1880, The

Mrs. Minnie Fellows
Mrs. Minnie Fellows, wife of Col. H. F. Fellows and daughter of Capt.
Boyden, who departed this life at 9 o’clock yesterday morning, had for some
years past been afflicted with an incurable disease of the heart, and her
friends knew that her disease would sooner or later prove fatal. Mrs.
Fellows was well adapted to the position she occupied as leader of our social
circle, but owing to continued ill health the place which her accomplishments
fitted her for has been for some time vacant, and in her decease Springfield
society has sustained an irreparable loss. The heartfelt sorrow of the
community in account of the loss of this bright ornament to society is rendered
greater by the reflection that her return from the North heralded a new
departure in our social life. But man proposes and Providence disposes.
She is cut off in the flower of her youth-a loss not only to her husband and
family but to society at large, for none knew her but to love her.” Mrs.
F. was a member of the Calvary Presbyterian Church, and her life was such that
there is no doubt of her reward hereafter, and that she will long be remembered
by those who were associated with her. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to
Col. Fellows in his bereavement, and also to her father and mother. There
is no one who has been intimately acquainted with the deceased but can
appreciate their loss.--Springfield (Mo, Daily Extra, September 25, 1880).

Justus Dearman
At Knoxville, December 14, 1880, of typhoid pneumonia, Justus Dearman, aged
51 years. The deceased came to Knoxville in 1850, and entered into
partnership with his brother in the mercantile business under the firm name of
A. & J. Dearman. Their combined effects at that time did not exceed a
thousand dollars. They occupied a store on the corner near the present site of
C. D. Markham a drug store. Two years later they purchased the corner
opposite and erected a larger store to accommodate their increasing business.
In 1865 the firm was dissolved by mutual consent, and the business was afterward
conducted by Justus Dearman alone. In 1871 the store and contents were
destroyed by fire and two years later the deceased built the magnificent
building which was occupied by him until his death. During a business
career of 30 years he showed much skill and act, and his dealings were always
characterized by the strictest honesty and minute attention to details.
The accumulation of a large amount of property is a witness to his forethought
and skill and another demonstration of what a poor boy may accomplish by strict
attention to business, honesty and economy. His liberality was remarked by
all and nearly every subscription list for the benefit of the town was headed by
his name with a larger amount than any other. To his debtors he was
lenient and never distressed them. Everything around him was a model of
neatness evidence of which may be found in the arrangement of his store yard and
barn, which were arranged under his personal supervision. By his death
Knoxville loses one of her best citizens, one who has done much to make the
village what it is. The funeral services were held on Friday, the 17th, at
the Christian church and were conducted by Rev. Walter T. Mills of Starkey
Seminary, New York and were largely attended. His remains were interred in
his own lawn surrounded by vines and shrubbery planted by his own hand. As
long as the Cowanesque valley exists so long will live the memory of Justus
Dearman, the affectionate brother and noble hearted friend. (Tuesday,
