    Feb 6, 1852:


    In this county on the 1st inst., of hemorage of the lungs, Mrs. Eliza Ann, consort of John L. Clarke, in the 20th year of her age.

    In this place, on the 2d, Mr. Solomon C. Whitcomb - age about 32 years.

    years.

    Suddenly in this place on the 14th inst., Mary Catharine, youngest daughter of William & Sarah M. Hunter, aged 19 months and 11 days.
    Thus have these parents been called to part with a beloved one, over whose tender years they had watched with fondness and hope. But the Father, in wisdom and kindness, spake, and called it to the spirit-land, to mingle its accents of praise with the angelic hosts. And, to the throbbing hearts of the bereaved parents, a voice whispers, "Peace - be still" - "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed by the name of the Lord."

    May 28, 1852:


    In Boonville on the 10th of April, Henry Clay, oldest son of Allen Hammond, aged 3 years 8 months and 11 days.

    In this place on the 21st, Emma D., infant daughter of M.R. and Jane Fisher.

    Near this place, on the 27th, after a protracted illness, Mr. John H. Cockrell, aged 21 years.

    Jun 11, 1852:


    Died, suddenly, at Prairie Park, on Thursday morning last, Mrs. Sarah Catharine, consort of Hon. James H. Birch, in the 48th year of her age.
    Although this most estimable lady had long been sorely afflicted, her condition had become apparently so much more encouraging, that her husband was absent, by her own permission and desire and with the concurrence of her physician, fulfilling the second days appointment he had previously made in this county, and received the melancholy intelligence of the demise at Bloomington on the afternoon of its occurrence. An extended circle of acquaintances, friends, and the church which she lived an died an exemplary member, will mourn her loss, and doubtless furnish a more extended and appropriate obituary.

    Jun 11, 1852:


    Death of Preston Knight. - It becomes our painful duty to announce to the people of Jackson county, that our friend and whig candidate for the State Legislature, Preston Knight, is no more. - He died in Kansas on Saturday last.
    Our citizens will remember that Mr. Knight spent several days in our city, during the last week. He returned home on Friday evening - was seized that night with cholera, which terminated his mortal career on the next day.
    Mr. Knight was a man possessing fine talents and excellent moral qualities - and his prospects for success, in the present contest were quite flattering.
    But the commencement of his political was the closing scene of his mortal career.
    He leaves many strong personal and political friends to mourn his departure.

    Jun 18, 1852:


    Melancholy Suicide. - St. Clair Page, a most estimable citizen of this county, committed suicide on Tuesday night last, by hanging himself. - His family had for some time noticed some eccentricity in his manners, and kept a strict watch upon him. He arose at 2 o'clock on the night above mentioned while the family were asleep and proceeded to his barn where he hung himself with a rope, which it is supposed he had previously prepared. His absence was soon noticed and a search for him instituted, but without success until daylight. He is supposed to have been laboring under a derangement of mind caused by the death of his wife. - Glasgow Banner.

    Cholera. - Mr. Chas. Hereford of Chariton county, died of Cholera, in Brunswick last Friday night. He landed there, sick on Friday, from the Sonora, on his return home from Kentucky.
    Mr. William Smith, of Keytesville, son-in-law of Mr. Hereford, who attended Mr. H. in his sickness, died at the residence of the latter on Monday morning, of the same disease.
    Mr. William Boyd, an old and much respected citizen of this place, died of Cholera yesterday morning. He reached home from Kentucky last Friday, on the Martha Jewett laboring under Cholera symptoms, which he neglected until a short time before his death. - Glasgow Times.

    Jul 16, 1852:


    In Lexington, on Thursday, 8th inst., Susan M. Alford, only child of John A.
    and Mary C. Alford.
    "Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

    Aug 6, 1852:


    In this city, on Wednesday morning last, after illness of a few hours, Mrs.
    Rebecca Dabney, wife of Dr. T.S. Dabney, of this city, aged about 30 years.

    At Plattsburg, on the 24th ult., Humphrey, infant son of Winslow and Emily P.
    Turner, aged 13 months.
    "Oh! safe and swift may be his way
    To the calm world of sunshine, where no grief
    Makes the heart heavy and the eye-lids red."

    Aug 13, 1852:


    In this city, on Saturday the 7th, Dr. William Jewell, of Columbia, aged

    years.

    In this county, on the 8th inst., Mr. Reuben Long, aged 72 years. Mr. L. was an old and respectable citizen, and enjoyed the confidence of all who knew him.
    Peace to his ashes.

    In Fayette county, Kentucky, on the 29th July, William A. Bright, son of Joseph Bright, of this county, in the 21st year of his age.
    He had been for 2 years, a student at Centre College, Danville, Ky., and would have graduated in another year with the highest honors, for he was, emphatically, a student. No young man in the College stood higher, and it should be a source of great gratification to his bereaved Parents and connexions that he not only had the entire respect of the Faculty of the College and his associates in study, but that he died in the faith of Jesus Christ, and looked to him, in his dying hours, as the rock of his salvation.
    May God sanctify this bereavement to parents, brothers, sisters and friends.
    Thus hopes are blasted,
    Learning us not set
    Our affections on earthly things,
    For they all do fade as a leaf.

    Aug 20, 1852:


    In this city on the 14th, George Israel, infant son of P.B. and Elizabeth Grant.

    In this county, on Monday the 16th August, 1852, Enna, infant daughter of W.T.
    and S.A. Duvall, of St. Joseph, aged ten months and seventeen days.
    "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings He obtains strength and perfecteth praise."
    To the Christian parent, the death of an infant is as instructive as it is impressive. The promptings of nature are joined by the voice of revelation, so as to make its departure a privilege as well as a pain.
    It is a link that binds us to the grave and to the spirit world. At once it aids us to commune with the dust to which our bodies are tending, and with the everlasting throne whither our spirits are seeking their ties. Thus the soul may be helped in weaning its affections from a fading earth, to fasten its cords upon a better world, whither our little one has preceded us.
    "Oh when their parents meets on high,
    The babe they lost in infancy,
    Have they not, then, for pains and fears
    The day of woe, the watchful night,
    For all their sorrows, all their tears,
    An overpayment of delight."

    Aug 27, 1852:


    In this city on the 26th inst., Mrs. Ellen Simmonds, wife of S.B. Simmonds, of this place.

    Sep 24, 1852:
