Jefferson Democrat
Hillsboro, Jefferson County, Missouri
WEDNESDAY, 25 FEBRUARY 1885
J.H. PARSONS, traveling agent for the Missouri Republican, took dinner, last
Tuesday, with his cousin, Mr. N. SLAWSON. Mr. P. was on his way to Texas,
where he will spend his time in introducing the Old Reliable, being the only
authorized traveling agent of that organ.
The citizens of De Soto seem to be turning aristrocratic, there being many of
them who have visited friends and relatives in foreign countries, even to
Germany. On the 1st of March Henry EULER well known to most of the people of our
county, will start for Europe, and it is also rumored that H. HOHENTHAL
intends to visit Jerusalem some time in the future.
Mrs. OTTINGER of Baltimore, and Mrs. DILLENBERG of St. Louis, were visiting
their sister, Mrs. H. HOHENTHAL, this week. Mrs. OTTINGER, Mrs. HOHENTHAL's
eldest sister, has not been west for 20 years. She expresses herself as highly
pleased with De Soto, notwithstanding the weather has been so severe that she
saw little of the town and vicinity while here.
Andy OWENS, who has been reported dead, paid our town a visit this week. He
looks well and hearty, but has been very low with a spell of pneumonia.
S. STEWART and L. OGLE had a pitch battle here, one day last week, oer a game
of cards. The result was S. carried away a pair of black eyes, and OGLE a
bleeding finger.

WEDNESDAY, 4 MARCH 1885
Judge Joseph J. WILLIAMS, who was in bed last week with a severe billious
attack, is out again.
Mr.W.R. IRWINE resigned his position as teacher of the Kimmswick public
school and started, last Thursday, for the Indian Territory, where he has some
interests that require his attention.
LICENSED to MARRY - John HULS and Ella WALKER, Lemuel GROVES and Mrs.
Narcissa J. TURLY, Ferdinand Wes HUBER of Jefferson county and Miss Amelia T. OELBERT
of Perry County.
Frank Adolph HEMME died last Monday night - aged 34 years, 3 months and 2
weeks - of pneumonia, at the residence of his brother-in-law, Godfrey BUCHER,
near DE Soto. His remains will be interred in the Hillsboro cemetery, this
evening, at about 2 o'clock.
Through some mistake we omitted at the proper time to publish the following
births, which were filed on the 25th of January: To Mrs. Philip MEYER, a
daughter, to Mrs. Albert PITZ, a daughter, and to Mrs. John OHEIM, a Cleveland voter
"No, Onkel, du machst es aber zu bunt."
The James WIDEMAN farm, on Big River near Morse's Mill, was sold by the
Sheriff in partition, last Thursday. The tract contains 160 acres and brought
$2,755. W.R. WILLIAMS was the purchaser. Rily has been trying to get a Big River
farm for some time, and we presume he is happy.
On the 17th of February last, while A. SEYPOHLTOWSKY, Jr., was driving a
four-horse team along the road near the ARMBRUSTER schoolhouse, a tree fell across
the road, bruising the young man's hand and leg and considerably injuring one
of the horses. Man and beast are recovering and Mr. S. is grateful to his
Creator that it was no worse. SEYPOHLTOWSKY a good Polish name - is enough to
ward of most any calamity or enemy.
OBITUARY - February 15, 1885, Stephen S., son of Solomon B. and Babecca
STRONG(?), at his father's residence, near Vineland, aged 21 years, 5 months and 15
days.
Deceased calmly passed away after a long spell of consumption. He
called his last friends around his bedside and told them that he could not stay
with them but a short time; the Lord would soon take him home, and he anted them
all to try and meet him in Heaven. Thus passed away a son, brother and
beloved friend of those who stood by him in this solemn hour. But our loss is his
gain. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they rest from their
labor." May we all be prepared to meet him on the shore of sweet deliverance.
J.D.S.
Dr.P.E. JONES, nephew of Mrs. E.S. PYLE, stopped to visit his aunt on his way
home from the New Orleans Exposition. He resides in Redwing, Minnesota and,
like many others visited New Orleans and friends and relatives on the same
trip.
R. BURROUGHS and family, old residents of De Soto, are thinking of removing
to California. Mr. B. is known to many of our citizens as the hardware
merchant of Main street, his being one of the first hardware stores in De Soto. All
regret to see them leave.
Mrs. SNOWDELL lately presented her husband with a lovely valentine. We have
not heard what the weight was, nor whether they call it Bob or Lucy.
Dr. BRADFIELD bears his age remarkably well. Speaking to a friend of the
recent cold weather, he remarked, that he had seen one hundred Winters, but this
was the worst he had ever seen.
Yesterday our friend, Jake SCHWEIZER of Limitville, paid us a farewell visit,
informing us that the firm of SCHWEIZER Bros. was about closed out. He spoke
of taking in the New Orleans exposition first, thence to Vera Cruz and from
there to Africa, intending to wind up with a visit to the heathen Chinee. Jake
is a good fellow, able to take care of himself wherever he goes. We fell sad
as the hour of departure draws nigh - more so than we knew he was about to get
married. Danby, February 24, 1885.
