BAGGERLY, Cora L., Orleans Progress (August 13, 1896) Death Notice - Paoli News
On numerous occasions of late it have been our painful duty to chronicle the death of some friend or acquaintance, and this morning we come bowing our heads to the inevitable and announce with profound sorrow the death of Mrs. Cora Lindsey Baggerly, whose untimely death occurred last Friday morning, August 7th, 1896; Mrs. Baggerly was the wife of C. M. Baggerly and leaves her husband and two little children, one only a few days old, to mourn her death. It is exceedingly sad to note the death of the aged as well as those in infancy, but when the death comes as it has in this case and snatches away the young wife and mother it stirs the very depths of every sympathizing heart, and did we not know that there is an all wise, tender loving, elder brother, watching over us from the battlements of heaven, would be unable to pass beneath His chastening rod, and would sink by the way side, weary of life and it tremendous cares. Yet if we will but listen, there comes from out this dark cloud of affliction and bereavement a still small voice saying, "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he be dead, yet shall he live."

He was a kind and indulgent parent and husband, and to all people was known as a charitable m conscientious, industrious Christian man. He was loved by all who knew him and had the confidence of all men.
His popularity is best told when it is said that he never aspired to anything that he did not get. He has served his people in township and county affairs more than once, and in no case was he found wanting.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and when his health would permit was a regular attendant at divine worship.
He was aged seventy years, eight months and nine days, and by his death leaves a wife. three sons and two daughters to mourn his loss.

JOHNSON, William J., Orleans Progress (November 5, 1896) Death Notice
MURDER AT THE POLLS
Harry Wells Kills W; J. Wells With a Pair of Knucks.

The blood of William J. Johnson is on the hands of Harry Wells, the twenty-year-old son of Hiram E. Wells, of French Lick. Johnson was an old soldier, who interfered as a peacemaker between young Wells and some other parties who were engaged in a street fracas, at Paoli last Saturday afternoon, during the big rally. The advice so enraged Wells, who was already wild with liquor, that he struck Johnson in the right temple with knucks, knocking him senseless. Johnson never rallied, and died at 9:30 o'clock Sunday morning.
Such terrible consequences were not dreamed of, and Wells was permitted to take the train a few minutes after the embroglio and go to his home, at French Lick. Sunday morning sheriff Speer went down to take Wells into custody, but he had flown. Officials scoured the country and made every effort in the power to capture him, but were unsuccessful, until information was received last Tuesday of his arrest at Princeton.
His father is probably the wealthiest man in the county, a prominent merchant and capitalist and one of the most highly esteemed men of Southern Indiana. He was at one time proprietor of French Lick Springs and Treasurer of Orange County.

WEBB, Alvin Hovey, Progress Examiner July 1926
Alvin H. Webb, the son of Joseph B. and Luzena Webb, was born September 25, 1864. He was one of a family of nine children, and with his passing all are gone save one, George E. Webb.
His entire lifetime was spent in the immediate vicinity of the place of his birth. Here he grew to manhood, respected as a citizen, and worthy as a friend. On Dec. 17, 1893 he was united in marriage to Lizzie Brock, and from this union there are today left to mourn his departure the bereaved widow and nine children viz: Mrs. Norman Lindley, Mrs. Carl Chatham, and Charles Webb of Orleans. Mrs. Newton Hall and Mrs. Noble Bosley of Paoli; and Bertha, Harry, Dorothy, and Matthew, who remain at home with the bereaved companion and mother.
For the major portion of his life he has been a farmer, and lived in the Lost River (Union) community. While living here and under the pastorate of Reverend Minnie Thorne, he united with the United Brethren Church at Union in 1908. He there and then consecrated his further life to the work of his Master, and daily lived the life of a fearless Christain and a servant of Jesus Christ. And as long as health could permit; he was active in the Church and glad to have a home therein. For several years he has been in faining health, and a few years since he sold his farm and removed to Orleans, where death came on Sunday morning, July 4, 1926, at the age of 61 years, 9 months, and 9 days.
His was the simple home loving life and his cares were those on behalf of his family, his friends, and his neighbors. He labored for their successes as he did for his own; he sacrificed for the education of his children; and he ever avoided whatever might being other than perfect peace in his community. No current of selfishness ran through his great soul. He stood ready at all times to help his neighbors and his friends.
But it must needs be that this loving companion with whom he has labored and toiled for more than forty years, and who, has given in sweet return the best of the years of her life she, alone, must suffer most in the severance of these home ties. And to her, with these dear children, these many friends today pour out the sympathy of their bleeding hearts.
In conclusion, let us summarize the life of Alvin H. Webb with these lines. In WORDS he did not put his trust His Faith in Words he never writ; He loved to share his Cup and Crust with all MANKIND who needed it. In time of NEED a FRIEND was he. What was his CREED: He told not me!
Funeral Services were conducted Tuesday 2 p.m., at Old Union with Rev. C.H. Ivy and Rev. Minnie Thorne officiating.

Obituary
As the shadows of the night slowly gathering around Sunday evening, March 7, the Angel of Death entered the home of Henry Busick ad claimed for its victim the mother and Companion of that home, Mrs. Alice Busick, at the age of 51 years, 11 months and 20 days. By her going her friends have lost a kind and loving neighbor, the children a darling mother and the companion a very precious jewel. But our loss is Heaven's gain. She was a very active member in the church, having confessed Christ as her personal friend and savior at a very early age. Her life is one for example to those who are left as one who walked hand in hand with their Master, always trusting Him for all things. She was the mother of six children, one having gone on before while yet in infancy, but we realize she was waiting to welcome mother at the beautiful gate. Funeral services were held at Oak Grove Tuesday, conducted by Rev. C. W. Fancher.
Clarence, Ross, Elsie ,Opal and Irene are left with their father to mourn her loss. She also leaves and aged father with a host of relatives and friends to walk in the paths of live a little while, until the summons shall call them home, where their shall be no more weeping nor farewell words are spoken.
Funeral services were held at Oak Grove Tuesday, conducted by Rev. C. W. Fancher.
There is a Reaper whose name is Death
And with his scycle keen
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath
And the flowers that grow between.
They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And Saints upon their garments while
These sacred blossoms wear
And the mother gave in teas and pain
The flowers she most did love.
She knew she should find them all again
In the fields of light above.
Oh not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day:
'Twas an Angel visited the green earth
And too mother away.
