Description

Deaths of Colored People. - - This community lost two of its faithful workers among the colored population this week in the deaths of Ida Reece who died in Atchison, and of Henry Anderson whose death occurred in St. Joseph. The former had been working at the hotel, but went to Atchison for treatment. The latter met with a serious accident on the Syl Turner farm Saturday. While driving the Turner span of mules to a heavy load of wood, he dropped his glove, and in reaching over to catch it, fell between the mules to the ground and was run over by the wagon. He lay there about an hour before discovered. A doctor was called and he was relieved, and band­aged and taken to St. Joseph where he died Tuesday. He had worked for the Pence, Hillix, and Schahack families for many years.
