Death of Major Glover.
Major A. D. Glover, one of the best known citizens of this section died Sunday night, at his home, near
Newark, and his remains were laid to rest in LaBelle cemetery Tuesday. His death was the result of a
stroke of paralysis received on Friday previous to his death. A Newark correspondent of the Edina Sentinel
gives this version of the sad affair:
"Major A. D. Glover, while feeding some hogs last Friday noon was stricken with paralysis. When found
by one of his sons he was leaning against the fence. The young man spoke to him and received no answer.
Approaching him he found he could not move. Laying him on the ground he called his brother and they
removed him to the house and sent for Dr. Withers who pronounced it paralysis. He lingered until Sunday
night about 9:30 o'clock when he died. Major Glover was one of our best citizens and will be greatly
missed. He served through the war in the 3d Mo., Cavalry and was known as a good officer."
Major Glover was of the late Hon. J. M. Glover, and was an honorable citizen, good neighbor and
affectionate husband and father, and his sudden death is greatly deplored by all. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. H. D. Thompson, of this city, under the direction of the G. A. R. of which order he was an
honored member.

In Memoriam.
Gussie E. McPike, daughter of J. D. and Rasa McPike, was born July 10, 1881; died Aug. 5, 1897.
The subject of this obituary was personally known to the writer. She was unusually bright and gifted, and
all who knew her adored her for her many admirable traits of character. As a daughter she was dutiful and
kind, as a sister, she was generous, considerate and loving. To her associates and companions, she was
forgetful of self, ever ready and doing everything in her power for their comfort and happiness. Indeed,
she was her father's pride, her mother's joy and an object of the tenderest devotion upon the part of her
brothers and sisters.
During the meeting at Newark, Knox county, Mo., in November, 1895, she was converted to Christ and
united with the Newark Baptist church, since which time she has lived a true christian life. As her pastor, I
never met her but what I received some word of comfort or cheer for my work. I miss her greatly. She was
always anxious about the conversion of her associates. Such a sweet and lovable disposition, such a true
and earnest christian will not be forgotten by the friends on earth and will be rewarded by her Friend in
heaven.
She entered LaGrange College, September, 1896. Here she enlarged her circle of friends and
acquaintences, endeared herself to her teachers, and was loved and esteemed by all. In March 1897, she
was taken down with consumption. She was sick about seventeen or eighteen weeks. During this time she
was never able to sit up, and no one ever heard her murmer or complain. She bore her sufferings with so
much patience. Loving hands of mother, father, sister, brother and kind friends did all in their power to
alleviate her suffering, but there was no relief but death. She was conscious to the very last. She knew all
of her relatives and friends, talked to them and asked for her mama not to cry so hard for her. Then she
asked for prayer for herself. She seemed calm and resigned as the death angel closed in upon her, and as
she drew her last breath she spoke these words: "Upon the mountains, play it." It is supposed she meant
some song, but could not tell. Possibly as her eyes were opened to the other world, and beholding the gold
capped hills of eternity, it was suggested. The writer preached her funeral at the LaBelle Baptist church.
Text; "If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, your faith is also vain; ye are yet in your sins." The
house was crowded, and many were the tears which fell as this large audience viewed for the last time all
that was mortal of Gussie. Father, mother, two sisters and a brother are left behind. They are left to look
upon the vacant chair and feel the loneliness of their sad hearts. But the God who gave has taken away
and He will comfort their hearts and lives.

Mrs. Mollie Oglesby;
Dear Cousin
This morning, finds me seated to inform you of the sad, sad, news. That of your Dear Father Poor Old soul
he's gone to rest. He died Saturday afternoon just half-past four Oclock. The good Lord called him a way,
and now he's resting with the "Angels" in heaven. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Poor man he was perfectly willing to go, asked the question why it was that he had to stay so long and
suffer so much, he just prayed for the good Lord to come and take him away. he called for all his children
they were all with him when he died But you poor Girl & feel sorry for you, But you have one consolation
and that is this, you must try to follow in his footsteps so when you too, are called away, may be prepared
to meet him in that beautiful world above. whare thare are no sorrow, and whare death never comes. He
looked natural and perfectly nashional untill the last breath left him. Knew evrybody and talked to them.
He was put away neat & nice had a nice suit of black cloes on & a nice coffin he was buried in a nice
grave-yard The Deer Lodge Cemetery, it is a beautiful place up on a hill, it will be always taken care of,
thare was a large crowd out at the berring. All that knew him came to see him berried. A Presberian
preecher was at the grave and made a few remarks and a splendid prayer. Blessed are they who die in the
Lord.
Now I know you will feel sad to hear such news but that is a debt we all haft to pay and we dont know
how soon.
Mollie, you must write a long letter to your Dear Old Mother for she is Anxious to hear from you all, They
