Jefferson Democrat
Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri

Part II

FRIDAY, 1 MARCH 1878

BREAD! BREAD!! While times are hard buy your bread at John THEOBALD's
bakery, south Main street, De Soto -- 14 10 cent loaves for $1.00.

Henry FRAZIER and James BROWN got back from Texas last week, having seen
as much of Texas as they desired, and satisfied that Jefferson county,
Mo., is the best place after all.

Henry KIRKOWSKI was married to Miss Mary E., daughter of Thomas OGLE, on
the 24th inst., Rev. EAVES officiating. Success to them.

In regard to the death of Mr. Philip MEYER, of Kimmswick, his brother
sends us the following certificate from Dr. SPALDING: --
"Kimmswick, Mo., Feb. 22, 1878 - This is to certify that Mr. Philip
MEYER died of Pneumonia, brought on by over exertion and exposure. Dr.
M.F. SPALDING."
This shows that statements made to us in regard to the matter, were
incorrect.

C.F. GRALL started for Texas with his family last Sunday. He is a
victim of 12 per cent interest and security debts, and finally came to
the conclusion to just pull up stakes, leaving his property for his
creditors, and go to some other county and take a fresh start. He was a
useful citizen, and we are sorry to part with him.

J.W. WILSON, of near Vineland, had the misfortune to have his house and
most of its contents destroyed by fire on the 19th inst. The fire is
supposed to have been communicated from the flue in the upper part of
the building. A strong wind prevailed at the time, and the house was
not more than a half hour in burning. Mr. WILSON was out working on the
road at the time, but for the exertions of James WILSON and a colored
boy the out buildings, cribs &c., would have been destroyed also. The
building was insured, but the insurance will not near cover the loss.

We are under obligations to Samuel A. REPPY and S. WRIGHT for a nice
little Holly tree from near Prescott, Arkansas. REPPY dug it up for us
and WRIGHT carried it to us. We planted it out with great care, and if
it lives, will long have something green to remember them by.

Judge YERGER united in the bonds of matrimony, on the 16th of February,
1878, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. Frederick BECKER to
Miss Elizabeth MARX, both of Rock township. There was a nice wedding
supper, and a pleasant company of friends, and a general merry time was
had.

Frederick GRIMM and Catharine his wife, of Maxville, celebrated their
silver wedding in fine style, on the third inst. Both were in good
health and circumstances, full of glee and merry as bees. The
neighbors began gathering in at noon, and from that on, Mr. GRIMM kept
the goblets filled with his best grape juice--which, for purity and
strength his said to be hard to beat, and the tables were continually
spread until late in the evening, with the choicest of viands. The
company passed away the time eating and drinking, talking and laughing,
till a late hour, and all retired well pleased with the entertainment,
wishing "unser Fritz" and wife another 25 years of connubial bliss, and
that they might all live to help them celebrate their golden wedding.

The following was business transacted by the County Court this week:
$15 appropriated to Rebecca O'BRIEN, pauper.

T.H. WILLIAMS rejoices -- its a boy.

OBITUARY - SHELTON; -- In HIllsboro, Feb. 25, 1878, of consumption,
Izella, daughter of John SHELTON, in the 18th year of her age.
She was a patient, dutiful child, and why she should be cut off in the
bloom of life, while the aged are left to mourn, is one of the mysteries
of Providence. Let us hope that she has been transplanted into that
clime where pain and sickness are not felt.
