JANES, Dr. John M.; On Saturday evening at fifteen minutes past five the report was circulated on the streets that Dr. J. M. Janes had just dropped dead at his home in this city. It was only too true. He was returning from up in town accompanied by Milo and as he stepped inside the door, he reeled and slowing sunk to the floor. A doctor was summoned immediately, but he declared that death must have struck the victim just as he fell. Heart disease was the cause.
The funeral services were held at the house yesterday afternoon, Rev. J. W. Miller and Dana Sherrill officiating. The funeral was held under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge, of which he was a member.
John M. Janes was born in Darke Co., Ohio, April 6th, 1825. He was raised on a farm and attended the common schools of the district, receiving a fair education. He began teaching school in the winter months when 18 years of age and kept at the vocation until 22 years old, spending the summer months in adding to his own education.
On the 27th day of February 1847, he was united in marriage to Miss Lovica Fontz at her home near Winchester, in Prebie Co., Ohio. He engaged in the mercantile and farming business alternately for the first six years of his marriage life. In 1853 he entered the office of Dr. Milo Laurence in Spartonburg, Ind., as a medical student. He became a thorough physician and very skillful surgeon and practiced with Dr. Laurence until 1857, when he started out for himself, locating in Hills Grove, Ohio. He remained until 1876, greatly prospering in his business. In that year he moved to Marshall, where as a surgeon, which he exercised in many most difficult cases, won him a wide reputation. Of late years he has not pushed his practice, taking only what cases he could not refuse, as he felt that he had well earned a rest in his old age.
Three children were born to Dr. and Mrs. Janes, of whom two – Milo and Anna (Mrs. P. H. Yant) are yet living. Will, the youngest, died several years ago.
Dr. Janes was a member of the Methodist Church for a number of years, and also belonged to the Masonic Lodge of this place. He was a man of very kindly and he was a firm friend always, especially in time of need. His sudden death was a great shock to his family and to his many friends.

LITTLEFIELD, Chester W., death came to him easily and painlessly. All Sunday night he lay in a semi-conscious condition and at a few moments before six on Monday morning he quietly “fell asleep.”
Chester W. Littlefield was born in East Enterprize, Ind., on October 8th, 1840. He was the son of John and Kate (Burnis) Littlefield. In October of 1830, the family moved to Marshall, where John Littlefield soon became interested in newspaper work and he laid not down the pen of the writer until Death forever stilled his hand. Chess was educated in the Marshall public schools. In February 1865 he enlisted in Co. G., 132nd Illinois Volunteers, and served seven months, being mustered out in September.
Soon after his return home he entered the office of the Marshall Messenger, then published by his father. He was associate editor of the Messenger for a number of years and on the death of his father, on Dec. 18, 1888, he became, though but half owner of the paper, its sole editor and director, in accordance with the wishes of his mother.
About a year ago he began coughing considerably, but expressed so great anxiety as to the state of his health until weakness began to creep on him. He grew more and more feeble until, six week ago; he was confined to his bed and arose from it only at rare intervals. He bore his sufferings uncomplainingly and always had a genial word and pleasant smile for the friends who visited him.
For some time prior to his death he had very seriously considered the subject of uniting with the Church and after due deliberation selected that of his wife and children as his choice. By his request, Father Moroney was called Sunday and received him into the Catholic Church.
The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery, the funeral services being held by Father Moroney at the church, commencing at 10 o’clock this morning.

PARK, Aaron: DEATH OF AARON PARK, from the Editor: Aaron Park, was born October 1st, 1821 in Licking County, Ohio, where he continued to reside for thirty years. In the year 1852, he moved to the Wabash Valley, and settled near Hart’s Grove, in Crawford County, in the State of Illinois, where he remained till 1861, when he sold his farm, and moved to Marshall, in Clark Co. and engaged in keeping boarding house, for one year, he then engaged in produce huckstering business for about four years. In 1866; he continued to keep house with his children until May 71, when he secured a home for his two youngest children, and gave his attention wholly to the carpenter trade, about the first of August he gathered his children together and visited his relatives at Marshall, and took the children to see his oldest son, residing at Effingham, Ill. On the 23rd of August, the writer of this sketch, found him at the hotel in Bellair, laid up with a swelling in the throat, but he thought it was getting better. On the 5th of September I saw him again; his throat had got well, but he was much emaciated, and showed all the external signs of a person rapidly sinking under the infirmities of old age, and complained of no sickness or pain. I urged him to leave the place and come to my house where he could rest and receive better care, and medical counsel. He consented to do so after visiting the family of W. H. Joseph and some others in the vacinity of Heart’s Grove; he went to Mr. Joseph’s the same day that I saw him, but on the evening of the 6th of Sept. expressed a desire to come to my house and assured Mr. Joseph that he was fully able to ride in a carriage. On the morning of the 7th he, with Mr. Joseph, started for Marshall. He seemed cheerful and talkative, and several times on the way got out and in the carriage without assistance. The last time he did so was within a half mile of Auburn, when he remarked, “when we get to town we will get a drink of good water,” those were his last words. In a few moments he seemed t have a slight spasm, and sank back on a pallet prepared in the carriage for him to rest on. Mr. Joseph drove rapidly to the hotel, where he rose on his elbow and took a drink of water, but did not speak, he was carried in and laid on a bed, a little wine was given which for a moment seemed to revive him, he soon closed his eyes and seemed to fall into a quiet slumber, but in a few moments ceased to breathe. Thus passed away a man that had possessed a strong constitution, all his life and had scarcely known what it was to be sick, yet in a few days from performing full work as a carpenter, sank to the grave apparently worn out with age. Aaron Park was strictly temperate in his habits all his life. He was for many years an unassuming member of the M. E. Church, and always sustained the reputation of a quiet citizen and an honest man.

SCOTT, (Another Suicide) On Friday afternoon last, Robert Scott of Wabash Township, died very suddenly and under circumstances calculated to create the impression in the minds of his neighbors that he had either poison administered to him, or had taken it himself. An investigation was started. Drs. Jennings, Sr., McCloud and Jennings Jr., testified to finding traces of arsenic in his stomach, and that his lungs were very much congested.
Wm. Maloney, P. VanCreasy and others testified to the fact of calling and seeing the deceased the morning of his death – of finding the empty paper and of his actions – that he had had a law suit during the week, which had been decided against him – that some of the witnesses swore they would not believe him under oath, which so wore on his mind as to cause him to be down-hearted from that time to his death – that he told some of them after the trial, that no one would ever have the chance of saying again that they would not believe him.
His wife testified that Mr. Scott arose on the morning of his death, rather earlier than usual, dressed himself, went out of doors, and then came back and laid down on the bed, a thing very unusual for him, and at breakfast all the nourishment he partook of was part of a cup of coffee, and shortly after drinking it, commenced vomiting, and went to bed, where he died about 4 o’clock, P. M. His children testified to the same thing. One of them saying that his father told him a few days before his death, that the children must be good to their mother and to one another, for he would not be with them long. He leaves a family consisting of a wife and five or six children, the youngest only about a year old. He was seventy-four years of age, and is represented to have been a hard-working honest old man. Of late difficulties we know nothing as to who was in the right or who was in the wrong, and as he has gone now to answer to a Bar of Justice where the Judge is a searcher of all hearts, it is not right for his neighbors to judge him harshly here. They should remember his virtues.
Final verdict of a jury was that Robert Scott came to his death from the effects of poison, administered by some person or persons unknown to the jury. September 15, 1871, Friday, page 5

Virginia DRAKE was born in Caroline Co., Va., 25 miles east of Richmond, on Sept. 18th 1829. In the winter of 1831 – 21, the family moved to Illinois, going by wagon to Guyandot, where they took a boat for the remainder of the journey, finally landing at Darwin. They moved on to a farm on Walnut Prairie, where they lived until 1849, when the family broke up and Virginia went to Nashville, Tenn., to live with her brother Charles. She was married there on Feb. 26th, 1850, to Albert Shaw, of Clark county, Illinois. Mr. Shaw brought his bride back to her old home and they settled on a farm on Walnut Prairie, where they lived till 1867. While her husband was absent in the army Mrs. Shaw took charge of the farm and made a living for the four children who then looked to her for their sustenance.
In 1867 Mr. Shaw moved his family to the old Shaw farm, on the western edge of Marshall, where they lived until October 1878, when they moved into Marshall, where they have ever since resided.
Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Shaw and five of them are yet living. Mary, the wife of Albert Porter, and Will and Frank live in Spokane Falls, Washington; Martha, the wife of A. P. Cole, and Eleanor, the youngest of the children, live in Marshall.
Mrs. Shaw had been a consistent and valued member of the Presbyterian Church since 1862. She showed her faith by her works.
She was a kind, loving and faithful mother, and a true and tender wife and valued neighbor. Deep is the grief of the bereaved ones, but they sorrow not as those who have no hope.
Mrs. Shaw was conscious to the very last, bidding all a tender goodbye and sending loving messages to the absent children. January 13, 1892, Wednesday Evening, page 1
