Another Old Soldier Gone. Uncle Elijah Evans, who has been sick for some time, died at his home in North Mitchell at 4:30 Saturday afternoon. He was a veteran of the Civil War, and his death removes another from the ever thinning ranks of the old patriots. Funeral services were held from the home Monday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. Stearns of the Presbyterian Church, and the remains were buried in the Mitchell cemetery. For years "Uncle Lige" has been a familiar figure on the streets of Mitchell and we are going to miss him. All of the children were here for the funeral.

Harry lived in Washington, Indiana, at the time of his father's death in 1917, according to the obituary for Elijah Evans.

The Hoffman's Washington Indiana City Directory for 1917 lists him as resident at 100 West "South" Street and Bartender at the Moose Club.

Obituary. Mitchell Tribune. Jan 1, 1931.

Evans Funeral This Forenoon. Former Mitchell Man Fatally Injured in Automobile Accident. Funeral services for Harry Evans, 53 years old, former Mitchell resident, were conducted at 9:30 o'clock this forenoon from the home of his brother, Charles Evans, north of Mitchell, by Rev. H.H. Allen, pastor of the Mitchell Methodist Episcopal Church, and burial was made in the Mitchell cemetery. Mr. Evans succumbed to a crushed skull sustained in an automobile accident at 12 o'clock midnight, December 29, in East St. Louis, Illinois. The body was returned to Mitchell over the B.& O. Railroad at 3:35 Wednesday afternoon and after being first removed to the Haverly mortuary, later was taken to the home of the deceased's brother. The deceased was a son of the late Elijah and Angeline Evans, and was born in Mitchell in 1877. He is survived, besides the brother, Charles, by one son, Jesse of Indianapolis; two brothers, Frank and Albert of St Louis; and one sister, Mrs. David Padgett of Anderson.

There were mistakes in the above obituary, so the following was published later.

Letter to the Editor:

Wrecking of Hamer Cemetery Angers Writer

Lowell R. Davis

Editor of the Tribune

Dear Sir:

I noticed in my Tribune the wrecking of the Hamer Cemetery at Spring Mill Park. I hated to read that account as I have one brother and two sisters buried there. My grandfather, Thomas Hamer and his brother, Hugh, ran that mill before there were any railroads. My mother was born and raised in the Thomas L. Hamer home. All my people on my mother's side are buried in the Hamer Cemetery. My father was a stone mason and made the markers for my brother and my two sisters' graves. My mother was 14 years old when they built the old O. & M. Railroad. She said the men building the road would come down to the Hamer Cave to get water for the men working on the track. I noticed where Hugh Hamer's marker was broken in two different places. I can't think of anyone that would be mean enough to go into any cemetery and destroy markers like they did there. I only hope that the law can run them down. I am enclosing 25 cents for postage. Please send me two of last week's Tribunes, as I want to send them to my people who live out of town. Thank you.

Attempt to Evade Capture by Suicide

Logansport, Ind., Sept 7. Unable to persuade Mrs. Avanella Ruth Klooz, a 35 year old widow, to marry him, Roy Stanberry killed her shortly before noon today, then attempted suicide. The 42 year old automobile salesman, taken to Cass County hospital whimpering that he did not want to live, underwent an operation late today for removal of a bullet from his chest and surgeons prepared to administer a blood transfusion to bolster his ebbing strength. Officers learned that Stanberry had pursued Mrs. Klooz with petitions of marriage since her husband, a mussel digger, drowned in the St Joseph River July 8. Yesterday they learned the couple quarreled bitterly and Stanberry was ordered not to return to the Klooz home. He made repeated unsuccessful efforts to see the widow and asked a neighbor to interecede for him. Finally, officers were told , he forced his way into the Klooz house with drawn revolver, brushed aside 15 year old Mary Catherine Klooz and fired three bullets at Mrs. Klooz as she crouched on the dining room floor, begging for mercy. One shot hit an artery in her neck. A cartridge snapped at the daughter, misfired, and then Stanberry picked up his victim, carried her to his car, and transported her to the hospital, where she died of internal hemorrhages. He left the hospital when a police squad car drove up and he fled before them at eighty miles an hour down State Road No. 25. The pursuing police saw the car swerve and retard as Stanberry pitched a gun out of the window. They found him with a bullet wound in the chest which had puntured his lung. At Cass County Hospital Stanberry confessed the shooting in the presence of Coroner M.D. Steward and the police. Prosecutor Robert ?vid said he would seek a first degree murder indictment from the Grand Jury.

Both parents, now separated, survive, and her mother, Mrs. Madge Frank, resides in Cincinnati, Ohio. She visited in Mitchell recently. The father's place of residence is not known.

Reunion main story

By MARY G. JOHNSON

Hamer Family

While the Quinn reunion was under way, the Hamer family was holding a reunion in Spring Mill's Donaldson Shelter House. Priscilla Hamer Knight, 89, one of the oldest ... David Padgett, 51, Carmel, a descendant of Thomas Hamer, said "Everybody goes off in their different direction. You graduate from college. You don't bring it back home. You go off and do what's best for your new family." Padgett comes to be in Spring Mill and to be with his family. "That's the drawing card for me: my heritage with Spring Mill and the family meetings that we have and talk about yesteryear. It's still a thrill to walk through the park and just kind of get a feel, a sense of what it was like to live here 100 years ago."...
