HADDIX,  Jesse Haddix
From Clark County (IL) Herald
10 August 1904
Jesse Haddix was born May 12, 1892, and came to an untimely death by drowning in the Wabash river near Darwin on July 7, 1904, aged 12 years, 1 month and 25 days.  He leaves a father, mother, four brothers and two sisters to mourn his early departure.  The body was found six days afterward near Russellville.  The following accounts of the burial was written by Mrs. John R. Pinks, of Russellville.
As soon as word was received of the finding of the body, Mrs. Haddix, accompanied by her son, Waller, went to Flat Rock and being met by a conveyance, were taken to the home of Mr. Isaac Cannon, 9 miles east of Flat Rock, where they were joined by quite a number of sympathizing friends and went two miles to the bank of the river at the mouth of Turkey Run and there recognized the form of their dear boy, though greatly changed.  The singer, Miss Mae Douglas sang "Looking This Way."  From there they drove four miles to the Price cemetery near Russellville and at 11 o'clock p.m. we laid him away in the northwest corner of the cemetery.  At the grave Miss Mae sang "God Be With You Till We Meet Again."  The day following Mr. and Mrs. Pinkstaff took them to see the grave and to place flowers upon it.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And though the body molders here
The soul is safe in heaven.
The people were very kind and sypathetic to Mrs. Haddix and son and made up quite a nice donation for them at the river and did many deeds of kindness that they never can forget.  The sympathizing friends who showed such kindness will ever be held in grateful, loving remembrance.

HASH, Veronica
Submitted by Cindy McCachern
From unknown paper, about 1913
Veronica, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Hash, died at the home of her parents in West York Monday afternoon.  She was aged 3 years, 4 months and 14 days, having been born July 17, 1910.  She had been sick but a short time with pneumonia, and though everything possible was done to overcome the disease, it was so violent as to cause her death.  Veronica was a handsome and bright little girl, and her winning ways had endeared her in the hearts of all who knew her.  Why one so tender in years, who had but entered upon life, who reflected happiness and prompted affection, should be called without seemingly having an opportunity to fulfill her mission in life, appears to us to be out of the natural order, and beyond any complete understanding.  In their sad bereavement, the parents have the sympathy of all.  Funeral services were conducted at the Christian church here Wednesday afternoon by Rev. S. H. Givier and the remains were laid to rest in the Hutsonville cemetery.

HEIMER, John Wesley
Submitted by Cindy McCachern
Dolson correspondence:  This week, with sadness, we must record the death of John Wesley Heimer, who died Dec. 1, 1910, aged 43 years. He was married to Miss Alice Ross in December 1889, who died Sep. 19, 1898.  To this union no children were born. He married Miss Laura Findley Jan. 14, 1904.  To this union four children were born, one of whom died in infancy.  His wife and three small daughters survive him.  About 20 years ago he was converted at home, and soon after united with the United Brethren church at Shilo, remaining a faithful worker until a few years ago.  After the death of his first wife he transfered his membership to the Methodist Society at Dolson Chapel, where he also did faithful work for the cause he loved. About three years ago his health began to fail and for the past few months that dread disease consumption made rapid progress until he was borne to the reward of the faithful.  He will be missed by his Christian associates and by his many relatives and friends, by an only sister, but most of all by the heart-broken wife and little daughters.  Funeral services were conducted Saturday at Dolson chapel by Rev. Frank Kettring of Terre Haute, assisted by Rev. Ambler of Marshall.
