When in front of Diehl's house Carrie Diehl aged seven and her little sister Evalene, aged five, who were playing on the sidewalk ran out and threw themselves across the coupling pole underneath the heavy logs and in front of the hind wheels of the wagon, unnoticed by the driver. After riding a few feet the younger sister jumped off and taking her sister by the arm attempted to pull her off. Loosing her hold she fell backward and was caught by the wheel which passed over her breast crushing her little body flat.
In her death agonies she raised up and laying her hand on her little sister, who had fallen beside her and who narrowly escaped a similar fate, she fell over dead.

On Feb. 8, 1880, her husband died; leaving her the care of the family. three years later she married David Jones. Of this union one child, a girl was born, and shortly after she was stricken with paralysis and suffered all the agonies attendant until the day of her death. However, she bore it all with that true Christian fortitude and patience that had characterized her early life. She was a devout Christian and those who stood by her bedside and watched her sufferings and heard her agonizing prayers to "go home" could have no doubt as to her future. As we stood by her bedside during her last hours we were forcibly impressed with the beauties of a true Christian religion and realized the stability of a hope founded on the promises of the Redeemer.
She was well known to all of our people and was the recipient of many kind and sympathetic words from all who visited her. Hers was a cheerful disposition and until a few weeks before death, when her suffering grew so intense, was a congenial companion. But the spirit has left its frail abide and joined the glad throng in a clime where suffering is unknown. The children and friends, while losing a loving mother and a kind true friend, are glad that her suffering is over and that the body, that for so many years was packed with pain is now at rest.

Johnson, yesterday at one o'clock, after which the remains were laid to rest in the beautiful I.O.O.F. cemetery by the side of the husband and son who had preceded her to that happy land.
Many beautiful floral emblems were laid on the casket, and the large concourse of people who followed her to the grave bore silent testimony to her worth as a lady and the high regard in which she was held by the community. The children desire to return their sincere thanks to the host of friends who, by their many charitable and kindly acts contributed largely to her comfort during her last days. Mr. Jones died two years ago and again she was left to battle alone. A Friend.

The Orleans Progress (January 6, 1898) Obituary
Mrs. Matilda Jones was born near French Lick, Indiana, August 20, 1840. She was the daughter of Daniel Lane, an old resident and prominent citizen of Orange County.
She was united in marriage to Benjamin P. Chatham, January 29, 1857. The located on the old Chatham farm near Orleans. There were seven children born of this union. The father and mother with their precious children composed a happy home.
The old home roof under the brow of the hill and the new residence afterwards built by the loving husband and father, where Lemuel Richardson now lives, are pictured undelibly on the minds and hearts of the surviving children as a model home and as one of the spots on earth where the sunlight of love and happiness shed their gentle influence in a glow of diffusive warmth, and where they all swelt in a strong bond of affection.
In the fall of 1879 Mr. Chatham, with his family, became residents of Orleans. In the early part of 1880 he was attacked with pneumonia and died of the disease, February 8, 1880, being the first member to be separated from the hitherto unbroken family circle.
Mrs. Chatham remained a widow until October 12, 1882 when she entered into marriage relationship with David Jones, who lived in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood. Tillie was born to them and survives both of her parents, her father having died March 23, 1896. The subject of this sketch was an invalid about twelve before she was released from her dreadful pain. She was stricken with paraplegia of the lower limbs and although she received the best treatment medical skill could devise the disease developed into general paralysis. She lived to bestow her blessing on each one of her seven children by her first marriage in the ordinance of their marriage. The all survive her except the youngest two, Lulu and Wesley, who awaited and welcomed her coming into the spirit world. Mrs. Jones died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Homer F. Johnson, on the 13th inst. at 1:15 o'clock p.m., where she had lived ever since the death of Mr. Jones.
Now it only remains for me to speak of the estimable character and christian fortitude of the deceased. Through all of her life she practiced the strictest rules of rectitude. She was scrupulously just, but withal liberal and charitable to a fault. She possessed a loving nature. The good and beautiful found a true admirer in her; the poor and distressed a sympathizing friend. She had a sunny social disposition and even in and through her long period of suffering she exercised great patience and due regard for the feelings of others. Her friendship was a benediction and no doubt the many kind words and acts she bestowed on her acquaintances will be as bread cast upon the waters, if not to return to her to those who were dearer to her than all else in this world. She lived a consistent christian from her early girlhood. She joined the Christian Church and remained a communicant of that order until after her marriage with Mr. Jones, when in account of the near proximity of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church to their home she identified herself with that church. The same faith and love characterized every word and deed of her entire christian experience.
It was her delight to have some one to read to her, and the Bible was the book that interested her most. The 23rd Psalm was a favorite selection that she often asked might be read to her. She trusted in the Lord and although she had suffered bereavements and afflictions greater than many mortals are called to endure she exclaimed with the psalmist, Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. It is an irreparable and heart-rending loss when we are called to part from such a mother, but her memory will always abide with us as a caress and a blessing. Her precept and example will live in the hearts of her loved ones and the pages of the book of life will impart sweeter lessons, because mother helped to impress them.
She bore her physical suffering with as much fortitude as it was possible for a human being to do. She appreciates the careful attention of her physicians and the loving friends, but when human love and help failed with her as they must with all of us one after another. She quietly and peacefully fell asleep, leaning on the everlasting arms of her Savior. John J. Lingle. Submitted byTom Agan.

LITTELL, Charles E., The Orleans Progress (January 27, 1898) Death Notice
DIED: Charley E. Littell, Monday morning, January 24, 1898; aged thirty years and four days.
At twenty minutes past two Monday morning he folded his hands, cast his eyes round upon the group of anxious relatives and friends, muttered "alright" and passed into the great beyond. To the sorrowing family and friends his death was no surprise; it had been expected for days, yes weeks, and everything that science and good nursing could do, had been done to delay the unhappy event. Money had been spent with stint; a trip across the continent to a climate more congenial and beneficial to consumptives had been taken; the best medical skill our city afforded; all were at his command, but still the rude hand of death was laid on the frail form and nothing was left but to obey. The grief stricken family and friends who were present were awed at the presence of death, but only momentarily. Instantly the promises of the divine Master came to them and more than ever they remembered that "He doeth all things well." All his faults were forgotten and only a memory of his many good deeds rose to the surface. The news rapidly spread throughout our little city and expressions of regret were heard on all sides. Charlie had been a resident of our city for about twelve years and was universally popular. He was of a cheerful disposition, and was charitable and generous to a fault. He made friends wherever he went and by his manly conduct held them. He was no hypocrite. If you were his friend you could borrow money on that friendship. But was even generous to those he disliked and even made his enemies respect him. His acquaintances and friends were not confine to his native town, but were to found in every town and city where he ever visited, and the presence of so large a number of visitors at his funeral was only an expression from them of the high esteem in which he was held by them.
The beautiful floral emblems that rested on his casket were gifts from friends who were glad to contribute even so small an offering as evidence of their esteem. His death cast a shadow over the entire community and his loss will be felt, but is to the wife and baby to whom the loss will be most irreparable. To them he was all that was pure and noble and his presence will be sadly missed. In his family relations he was pleasant and sociable and the same cheerful disposition was with him through his every day life.
But he is gone and nothing but the memory of his life remains and may his many charitable acts o'ershadow all others and prove a lamp to the feet of those who cherish his memory.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. J. Scully, assisted by Revs. Radcliffe, Welker and Morgan, at the residence of the parents of the deceased, Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Littell, yesterday morning at ten o'clock, and interment was in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. To the bereaved wife, parents, sisters and relatives, we extend our sincere sympathy.
