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. February 3, 1892, Wednesday Evening, page 1

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. Signed M. Park, September 29, 1871, Friday, page 4

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

SHAW, Mrs. Albert, died last Wednesday evening
at a few minutes past five, after an illness of several
weeks. The funeral services were held at the house
Friday afternoon, Rev. C. F. Wilson officiating.
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
