DEATH'S DOING.
The Grim Monster Claims D.H. Holman and A.J. Vaughan.
Death has invaded the family circles of two estimable citizens and
extinguished the leading lights. The many friends of D.H. Holman will regret to
learn that he died Saturday afternoon about 6 o'clock at his home on South
Campbell street, opposite Maple Park cemetery, of paralysis. The funeral took
place this afternoon under auspices of United Lodge No. 5, A.F. and A.M. ev.
Scruggs conducted the religious exercises, after which the remains were conveyed
to Hazlewood Cemetery.
J.C. Evans, president of the State Horticultural Society, Harlem; E.A. Goodman,
state secretary, Westport, and A. Nelson, president of the Laclede County
Horticultural Society and a member of the state society, attended the funeral of
D.S. Holman this afternoon, which took place in St. Paul M.E. church. Mr.
Holman, we understand, was re-elected treasurer of the state society which met
in Clinton last week.
BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
D.S. Holman was born in Tredell county, North Carolina, November 13, 1824, and
was sixty-six years old at the time of his death. His parents, Lazarno and
Elizabeth Holman, moved to Rutherford county, Tenn., when he was eight years
old. After remaining there for a few years they moved to Missouri in 1837,
settling in Franklin county, where David was educated in the county schools. He
was licensed to preach for the M.E. Church, South, by the quarterly conference
in the district embracing the city of St. Louis. He preached in the counties of
Oregon, Crawford and Lafayette. For a time he was put upon the African mission
and built a church for them. He came to Springfield, spent a year and then went
to Jasper county. His health failing he engaged in the nursery business there in
1860. In 1864 he moved to Springfield and established one of the largest
nurseries in this section. On December 14, 1856, he married Miss Mary, daughter
of Ellwood B. James, of Carthage, an early settler of Jasper county, who served
twenty years as county clerk. Four children were born of said marriage - Rosa
E., Sudie L., David E. and Joy S. Deceased was a Royal Arch Mason, an officer of
the State Horticultural Society, a Democrat and wrote extensively for the press
under the non de plume of "Jot."
A.J. VAUGHAN.
Member of the Carpenters' Union, No. 377, died Sunday afternoon of typhoid
fever, aged about 45, and will be buried in Hazlewood Cemetery tomorrow morning.
Deceased leaves a wife and four children, all adults except one.
CRUSHED TO DEATH.
An Intoxicated Miner Mangled by a Train Saturday Night.
Last Saturday night a man named Pat Hogan, aged about fifty-five, while
intoxicated attempted to cross the Frisco track and was struck by engine No. 4,
knocked under the wheels and instantly killed. the body was horribly torn and
mutilated and it is probable that he did not know anything about the accident.
He had no family. An inquest is being held this afternoon at which it is likely
that the above facts will embrace the substance of the testimony elicited, and
it is also probable that no blame will attach to the railroad empoyes as the
tragedy was from general report unavoidable. The body is at J.W. White's
undertaking establishment where the inquest is being held.
Deceased worked in the water works and was not widely known. The remains will
probably be interred tomorrow.
