"We shall all go home to our Fathers house
To our Fathers house in the sky
Where the hope of our souls shall have no blight
And our love no broken ties.
We shall roam on the banks of the River of Peace,
And bathe in its blissful tides.
And one of the joys of our heaven shall be,
The little boy that died.

Moore, John
Thursday, April 13, 1876
p. 3, col. 1
John Moore, at the residence of his parents, about ten miles north east of Wahoo, Sunday morning. Age 18 - Disease measles.
John was a fine and promising young man. He taught during the winter and frequently visited Wahoo, where we first made his acquaintance and where he made a host of friends, that are saddened to learn of this premature death of so bright a young man and valued friend. The teachers of the county will remember him as the first speaker at the closing exercises of the recent teachers institute. We extend our sympathies to the parents in this their hour of bereavement and hope that the escape of a life in this cold world of sin and sorrow will be consolation sufficient to help bear the sad loss.

Thursday, July 27, 1876
p. 3, col. 2
A Horrible Death Emanuel Anderson, a Swede, who lived about five miles north east of Wauhoe, was on last Friday instantly killed by being horribly cut by an Adams and French Harvester. Mr. A. and a hired hand were operating the machine, the hired man having oiled it all except one end of the cutter bar. Mr. Anderson went in front of the cutter bar without throwing the machine our of gear and while oiling the same the horses suddenly started cutting his leg off just above the ankle, knocking him down, and then cut the other off high upon the thigh with the guards fixed in his side dragged him along cutting him in several places. He lived about 15 minutes after the team was stopped and he released from his terrible position. Mr. Anderson was an industrious farmer, a widower, and leaves four children, to mourn his loss.
By a Harvester
The above awful facts will be a sufficient warning to the wise. Why will people be so careless when there are so many examples.
