| 151 | 29 Sept. Hedges Locked Up. He Is Charged with the Murder of Dan Gaddis, of Whitestown. On a warrant from the Boone county coroner, charging him with murder, Ambrose Hedges, living near the City Hospital, was arrested yesterday and locked up. Three weeks ago Hedges got into trouble with Dan and Mary Gaddis, of Whitestown, while the couple were with a band of horse traders in camp at the end of Indiana avenue. In the fight which ensued Dan Gaddis was struck in the head with a neck yoke wielded by Hedges, frm the effect of which Gaddis died last week. Mary Gaddis then attacked Hedges with a knife and cut him so severely that he was confined to the City Hospital for a week. He yet shows the marks of the infuriated woman’s knife. He states that he struck Gaddis purely in self-defense and to save his own life, as the latter came at him with murder in his eye. Hedges will be taken to Boone county for trial.

| 195 | A Beautiful Life Come to a Close In the Passing of Mrs. Martha Ellinghauser Leffler, a Life-Long Resident of Dearborn County Martha Ellinghausen Leffler ws born in Dearborn County October 31, 1862. She was the youngest daughter of Henry and Sophia Schover Ellinghausen. She was baptized in infancy and confirmed in St. John’s Lutheran Church April 9, 1876, of which church she has since been a member. October 31, 1881, she was united in marriage with August Leffler. Then children were born to this union, two sons having preceded her to the great beyond. Surviving are her husband, two sons, Edward who resides at home, Elmer of near Manchester; six daughters, Mrs. Earl Hanson of Lawrenceburg, Mrs. Sherman Martin of Moores Hill, Mrs. Ivan Bennett at home, Mrs. Ernest McClanahan of near Wright’s Corner, Mrs. John Mason of Kyle, Mrs. George Rosenbaum, of near Aurora; 17 grandchildren; one brother, Henry Ellinghausen of Kyle; one sister, Mrs. Margaret Johnston of near Aurora, and other relatives and friends. After two weeks of intense suffering she passed away September 8, 1932, at the age of 69 years, 10 months and 7 days. She bore her suffering with Christian patience and fortitude. A kind and devoted mother has been called from our midst. Mrs. August Leffler was especially devoted to her family and home. Faithful and unselfish she has served her day and generation and if one is permitted to judge has gone to that reward promised to those who are “Faithful Unto Death.” She is not dead; oh, no, not dead, but sleeping; The weary frame now rests beyond all weeping; The spirit, like a prisoned bird set free; On joyful wing, mounts up, exultingly. Her earthly life was beautiful and rare; But she has gained the life celestial, where At his dear feet her trophies all laid down, She has exchanged her armor for a crown.

| 196 | A Birthday Surprise On Wednesday, November 4, 1936, several relatives of Mrs. Austin Moore, (Aunt American as she is known), met at the old Moore home, seven miles east of Cora, with well filled boxes and surprised her in honor of her eighty-sixth birthday. A delicious dinner was served in cafeteria style at noon. The afternoon was spent in listening to the radio, visiting and playing cards. A pleasant time was had by all present and the guests departed at four o’clock after wishing Mrs. Moore many more pleasant birthdays. Mrs. Moore is a pioneer of Sullivan county, Mo. She settled on the farm where she now lives in 1871, soon after she became the bride of Austin Moore, who was a veteran of the Civil war. She was born in Lee County, Iowa near Fort Madison, but her parents brought her to Linn county while she was yet a baby. Her father, Armstrong Cassity, settled near Purdin where she spent her girlhood. Mrs. Moore has many memories of the time of Abraham Lincoln. She is young for her years and gets her share of pleasure out of life by meeting it half way. The following were present: Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Pfeiffer, Mr. and Mrs. Will Barclay, Mrs. Gladys Lewis and baby, Lindy June, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lambert, Mr. and Mrs. George Walker, Miss Fern Smith, Mrs. American Moore and Will Moore.
