COUNTY MAIL, October 7, 1880 Several of our citizens attended the lot sales at the new town of Tarkio in this county last Friday.

Tarkio City - ...the saddest of all was the death of Hughey son of Mr and Mrs J.H. Davis, aged 9 years. Death stepped in Sunday morning the 26th ult., and claimed him. He had been suffering for the past two weeks with that dread disease diphtheria, and was to all appearances better, but was taken suddenly worse Saturday night, and died Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. His school mates and Sunday school companions all that knew him feel that they will miss the smiling countenance of little Hughey. A large concourse of friends and relatives followed his remains to their last resting place in the Holliway Cemetery. The afflicted family have the heart felt sympathy of all.

Obituary - Ida Burdelle Schooler died at eleven o'clock am, Sept 5th, 1880, of diphtheria, aged 6 years, 9 months, and 10 days. Albert Austin Schooler died at 8 o'clock am, Sept 8th, 1880, of diphtheria, aged 5 years, 1 month and 8 days. Hurbert Heath Schooler died at 11 o'clock am, Sept 14th, 1880, of Membranous Croup, aged 10 months, 8 days. Thus the dear children of E. Heath and Caroline F. Schooler passed from their happy earthly home, 10 miles southeast of Rock Port, Atchison county, Mo., to their happier home in Heaven. Little Birdie was a very sweet litttle girl. Although she was of tender years her death was triumphant. A short time before her spirit fled she sang with her parents part of the hymn, "Suffer the Children to come unto me." Oh, how truly did Jesus permit this little one "to come unto Him." She sang his praises on earth now she sings them in Heaven. Little Albert was a bright little boy, and bore his great affliction with marked patience. He knew he was going to die and asked to be buried with his sister Birdie. He folded his little hands across his breast and passed from his weeping parents on earth to his dear Redeemer and rejoicing sister in the brighter world on high. Little Herbert was a very promising child indeed, but death had claimed the opening flowers of the family and now must pluck the tender bud.
