FRIDAY, 23 JANUARY 1874

Cupid has been around here already and with his dart pierced the heart
of one Mr. RUDDER, who came along quietly as if in search of deer and I
must say he was successful in his pursuits, for he found a "dear," and
took from Belew one of its brightest gems in the person of Miss Amanda
OGLE. The Hymenal ceremony was performed at 6 o'clock P.M., Sunday Jan.
11th by the Rev. E. EAVES' and they have gone on their bridal tour.

DIED - At her residence, in Merrimac township, January 15th, 1874, Mrs.
Mary GALVIN wife of John GALVIN, aged 22 years.
Mrs. GALVIN was a very amiable lady and much respected by her
acquaintances. Her loss is greatly felt by the stricken husband, while
the motherless child but a few days old, will always suffer if it does
not feel its mothers loss. Mrs. G. was born and raised in New York and
was the only child of James DONOHUE and wife and course occupied a
prominent place in their affections, and her loss is greatly mourned by
them.

The trial of Henry STEERMAN for the murder of Fred HELLER is progressing
in the Circuit Court. It took a long time to get a competent jury, as
several after being summoned as jurymen, tried to render themselves
incompetent by making enquiries all about the case. STEERMAN is out on
a bond of $5,000, with George VOGT.i.VOGT;, Jno. ISFELT, Henry
HOFFINESTER, Henry HEITS, Henry POLLMAN, Fritz BECK and G. VOMBACH, all
substantial citizens of Merrimac township as his securities. His bond
is only for his appearance from day to day during this term of court
until his case is decided.

FRIDAY, 30 JANUARY 1874

OBITUARY - DIED - At her residence, on Jones creek, Big River township,
Jefferson county, Mo., Jan. 1st, 1874 at 6 p.m., Mrs. Lucinda
HERRINGTON, wife of Joshua HERRINGTON, aged 58 years.
Her illness was of but short duration, and during her suffering,
she manifested great Christian fortitude, feeling confident of her
acceptance with God. She seemed to have a presentment of her death,
often exhorting her companion and children to weep not for her but to
meet her in heaven. She had been a consistent member of the Baptist
church for 42 years, was a faithful wife and kind mother, and leaves
many friends to mourn her departure.
Mother, thou art gone, but we will not forget thee, for thou art
now where often when on earth, thy spirit longed to be. H.
