[DIED:
JOANNA STUMP, WIFE OF PHILIP STUMP.]
Winfield Courier, December 3, 1874.
DIED. At her residence in Cowley County, Kansas, November the 14th, 1874, of congestion, Joanna, wife of Philip Stump, in the 41st year of her age. The funeral services took place at Little Dutch Schoolhouse, on Sabbath, November 15th. The sermon was preached by the writer from Isaiah 38th, 11th, and Luke 16th and 26th to a large and attentive audience, after which her remains were followed to the cemetery and buried in the honors of the Grange. Sister Stump lived a consistent member of the M. E. Church for about eight years, but coming to Kansas as many do, she neglected to bring her church letter with her, and locating where there was no church organization near, she lost her church relation but it is hoped not her religion. She was much esteemed by all who knew her. Her sickness was of short duration and her death very sudden. She leaves a husband and three daughters to mourn her loss. May the blessing of God rest upon the bereaved, and may this sudden dispensation of His Providence lead them all very near to the friend of sinners.

Winfield Courier, August 10, 1882.
Wild Shooting. The usually quiet condition of our city was somewhat disturbed Sunday evening by a couple of shooting scrapes, or attempted shootings. It seems that for some time past the Marshals have imagined that Mrs. Buck, who runs a music store in the old Stump building, was a disturbing element in the society of South Main street, and had resolved to investigate. For this purpose they stationed themselves in the rear of the building Sunday evening. Mrs. Buck learned of this and was not pleased with their action, so she raided the weeds with her little pistol, and wickedly fired it off at them, for which deed she was promptly arrested and required to give bail for her appearance. About an hour after the fracas night-watchman Higgins was walking down the street and when near Baden’s headquarters two fellows standing near the well in the street yelled out, “Want to arrest somebody else, do you?” and began to stone him. Several stones flew uncomfortably near Mr. Higgins’ head and he turned on his assailants, pulled his revolver, and began firing. It was quite dark, but one of them fell and afterward got up and ran away, leaving a stream of blood along the sidewalk. Up to the present writing no dead or wounded men have been found, so the matter is still a mystery. Altogether the evening’s shooting was quite unsatisfactory. Mrs. Buck’s poor marksmanship can be excused, but Mr. Higgins should have brought down his man.

Ben Cox has sold his interest in the Tunnel Mill to Philip Stump, and has retired from the milling business. He is once more a gentleman of leisure. Indicative of this fact, we notice that he has just received a fine pointer pup from Lexington, Kentucky, and will devote his spare moments to training it.

[TUNNEL MILLS: TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.]
Winfield Courier, April 5, 1883.
A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
James McGuire Caught in a Belt and Killed at the Tunnel Mills.
DIED. Last Thursday morning the Tunnel Mills were the scene of another fatal accident. Mr. James McGuire is a brother of the McGuires’, merchants of this place. He was working at the mill and went upstairs to put on a belt. The machinery was running at the time. He took hold of the belt to put it over a pulley when it threw a loop over his arm and he was drawn around and around, his feet striking the ceiling every revolution. Mr. Stump, the head miller, was in the basement of the mill at the time, and noticing that something was wrong, ran up and shut the water off. He then went upstairs and saw McGuire hanging in the pulley. He immediately went to work cutting the belts and soon, with the help of others, got him down. He was found to be still alive and was put in a wagon and taken to his home on Manning Street. An examination was made by the physicians, who found that almost every bone in his body was broken, especially in his feet, legs, and arms. The pulleys were making one hundred and twenty revolutions a minute when he was caught and he must have been whirled around with terrible force. He was conscious for several hours and until a few moments before he died, and was able to tell how the accident happened. This is the third man that has lost his life at that mill. Two were killed several years ago while digging the tunnel by dirt caving in on them.

[CRYSTAL WEDDING: DR. & MRS. A. V. POLK.]
Winfield Courier, November 15, 1883.
CRYSTAL WEDDING. About sixty of the friends and neighbors assembled at the home of Dr. and Mrs. A. V. Polk, November 8, 1883; to unite with them in celebrating their crystal wedding. Dr. A. V. Polk and Miss Elizabeth Welfelt were married in Middle Smith Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, by Rev. Henry Little, on September 16, 1863. There they lived until December 1, 1868, then coming to Topeka, Kansas, December 4, 1868, and finally to Cowley County, February 12, 1869, and the next day settled on their present claim, where we find them this beautiful day. The wedding should have occurred September 16th, but as the Dr. was building, it was postponed until November 8th, which caused none the less enjoyment. The Dr. had beautiful apples for dinner of his own raising.
The occasion was a very pleasant one. All seemed to enjoy themselves and most heartily congratulated Dr. and Mrs. Polk in view of the prosperity which had attended them during the first fifteen years of wedded life. The dinner, which was abundant in variety and supply, and of the best quality, was served in good style, and was well received, as was evident from the manner in which the guests carried out their part of the programme.
After dinner, Prof. A. H. Limerick, in a beautiful and appropriate speech presented to Mr. and Mrs. Polk the following gifts.
Mrs. Alice Stump, glass pitcher.
