OBITUARY-ROBB-At McCook, Nebraska on Friday, February 6th, 1891 at 12:15 p.m. of peritonitis, resulting from a severe cold, Amy A., wife of Joseph D. Robb, aged 23 years, 3 months and 23 days. Amy Avery was born at Stevens Point, Wisconsin, October 14th, 1867, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Avery, now residing at Spearfish, South Dakota, to which place they removed when the now deceased daughter was nearly 14 years of age. Miss Avery’s first acquaintance in McCook was in February, 1886, when she came here upon a visit to her sister, Mrs. F.L. Brown, with whom she remained more than a year, at the same time improving the excellent advantages offered by our city schools. In June 1887 she returned to her Dakota home, but not until after, by mutual attachments, she had become betrothed to one of McCook’s well known young business men, her now bereaved husband. Amy Avery was married to Joseph D. Robb, on October the 14th, 1889, the bride’s 22nd birthday, the wedding being consummated at the home of the bride’s parents, at Spearfish, South Dakota; a most happy event of but a few short months ago, and yet so fresh in the memories of their hosts of friends. Immediately following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Robb took up their residence in McCook, where they have since resided, and where prosperity, harmony and true devotion have made of them one of the happiest homes of a newly wedded life. Fate, however, has ruled that such happiness was not long to be theirs, and in an unexpected hour the pale rider, death, darkened the threshold of that bright and cheerful home, and called there from the spirit of the young, devoted wife, casting gloom, sadness and despair where but a few hours previous happiness and contentment were so promising for the future. Deceased was a lady bright and cheerful, with a pleasant greeting for every one at all times and her affable ways won for her the esteem and friendship of all who formed her acquaintance. Although not directly connected with any religious denomination, Mrs. Robb was a lady with a true Christian character, honest in her convictions, warm hearted and sympathetic with the afflicted, and although young in years, her willing hands and consoling words, through her generous nature, have many times administered relief at the sick bed and consolation to the grief stricken, and she leaves an example worthy of imitation. The grief stricken husband, whose loss to him is irreparable, certainly has the heartfelt sympathies of all friends and acquaintances. The funeral occurred Monday afternoon, from the residence or Mr. and Mrs. F.L. Brown, Rev. Mather officiated, and the remains were laid to rest in Longview cemetery. Friday 13 February 1891

OBITUARY-Thursday morning the sad news was rapidly circulated that Helen, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. George Hocknell, died about 8 o’clock that morning. Their former loss of children which we understand was three in number, and which were similarly afflicted, makes the loss of Helen seem harder. Helen was a bright beautiful child about 3 years and 10 months old, of a lovable disposition and winning ways. About two weeks ago she did not seem well and a doctor was called, but she was not taken down until about ten days before her death, and while it was first thought she had malarial fever the disease developed into spinal meningitis. The sorrowing friends have the sympathy of all in this their crowning affliction. The funeral takes place this afternoon from the parent’s home at 2 o’clock. Friday 27 February 1891

OBITUARY-Mrs. Mary J. Jones-The subject of this sketch died on Sunday, May 17th, 1891, at 2:20 a.m. of heart failure, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Kilgore, near Elk Grove, California, aged 63 years, 9 months and 20 days. The funeral took place the following Monday at Elk Grove, and the services were conducted by Rev. Scott who preached an impressive sermon from a text taken from Mark VI, 50. The altar was beautifully decorated with choice flowers and the coffin covered with floral designs, the offering of friends. The remains were interred in the cemetery at Sacramento City. Mary J. McCammon was born in Jacksonville, Illinois. She was converted when fourteen years of age, and joined the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she was a faithful member until her death. She was thrice a pioneer. At the age of twelve she went with her parents to eastern Iowa on the Des Moines River, then sparsely settled, where the family bravely met the dangers and endured the hardships of early settlers, where, not far away Redman’s boundless borders lay, and lodges stood in legions then, striped pyramid of painted men and Indian canoes went to and fro upon the waters of the Des Moines. A year later the father died in poor circumstances, leaving a wife and eight children, Mary only thirteen being the eldest; they then moved back to Jacksonville, Illinois, where they remained four or five years, when they returned to Iowa. Here Mary became acquainted with Alexander Jones to whom she married on April 12th, 1847. Seven children were born to them. In 1866 the family came to Nebraska, then a territory, and settled near the city of Omaha, then a small village, near which placed they lived for several years. In 1874 they again moved west locating on Ash Creek, Red Willow County, Nebraska, where again the hardships of frontier life were endured, without roads, bridges or mills, schools, or churches. Here the family remained until last fall when death claimed as its own the husband. In October she accompanied her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kilgore, to California and remained until death called her, which summons comes but once, but surely comes to all. The deceased leaves two sons and three daughters to mourn her loss, also twenty-seven grandchildren, four brothers and one sister. In life she was an ideal neighbor and friend. With an abiding faith in the sublime truths of the Christian religion ever sustained by its precious promises and believing that she would again clasp hands with those she loved here, she crossed the dark river with full confidence of a bright beyond.

Wilcox in the general merchandise business which continued until death separated the partners. In his business he was honest and made many friends and was instrumental in building up a good trade. At home he was an affectionate and true husband and father, and we think he had perhaps more friends and fewer enemies than falls to the lot of most men. Mr. Fowler was an energetic citizen and while he never sought an office has held many important ones in the gift of the citizens, and at the time of his death was president of the school board. he was a member of the Masonic order and of the A.O.U.Q. and the funeral, taken in charge by three orders, occurred Wednesday afternoon.
