The whole family of Wm Iler, living about three miles North
of
inquest was held by J. H. C. CANAN coroner on Monday. A post mortem examination was held at the same time by Drs. L. T. Cox and C. M. HEVERINS “AFTER having exhumed the body of MR. ILER, it was found from analysis that the theory of poisoning, had been correctly founded. J. H. Iler, recently from Indiana who is a nephew of deceased, was cropping with him the present year, and from some misunderstanding the accused had made some threats. On last Friday morning, the accused sent his little daughter in company with one of the little girls of the deceased to Rosine to purchase some arsenic, which they did. This in connection with a chain of evidence made from circumstances before and after the death of Wm. Iler caused the arrest of J. H. ILER.
He was brought to town on Monday by the coroner and others and lodged in jail to await his examining trail which is set for Friday. We will give the results trial in our next issue. LATER; We are informed that when some of Wm Iler’s family accused J. H. ILer of having put poison in the well, the defendant told them to bring him a quirt of the water and he would drink it. This was not done, however.
Wednesday.... JULY 25...... The trail of J. H. ILER who was placed in jail on the 15th charged of having poisoned the family of WM ILER, an account which was given in our last issue, began Monday, and was concluded yesterday at 3:30 p.m. After having heard all the evidence the Judge dismissed the defendant.

Last Saturday morning, all hands were at work at Berry Kuykendall’s steam saw mill near Rosine, when without warning, the boiler busted and parts of iron, jets of steam and scalding water were thrown in every direction. For a moment consternation marked those who escaped with their lives.
The dead body of Thomas Bryant Jr. was found about 40 yards from the boiler. He was the engineer and fireman at the time of the explosion was placing wood in the furnace. He was blown across a branch and up a hillside. The path cut out by his body along the ascent, looked as though a log had been dragged over it.
The body of Berry Kuykendall was literally torn to pieces. Some parts of the body were never found. Mrs. Kuykendall, who was at the mill at that time had one arm broken in two places and her lower limbs badly bruised and lacerated.
Ansel Wilson received several sever though not dangerous, injuries. A boy who was standing near was so completed prostrated by the effects of the shock as to be unable to walk yet, although no sign of injury was visible about him. Those who visited the scene shortly afterward say it was horrible indeed to behold.

The following is
from the OWENBORO MESSENGER on this respected lady who lived to such a good old
age. It is learned that Mrs. Duke was the first child born in

IN MEMORIAM;
Mrs. Jane Duke,
daughter of HARRISON and ELZIABETH TAYLOR, was born in
She was married to John G. Wallace in the fall of 1818, professed religion and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1819, and was the mother of ten children, five of whom survive her. After a widowhood of sixteen years, she was married to Capt. William Duke in the fall of 1857. Capt. Duke died in May 1874 and from that time she lived in the family of her son-in-law Harrison D. Taylor.
The friendship that
existed between Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Duke was remarkable, extending through the
entire period of their lives. Being
nearly related by family ties, their tenderness for each other was never
chilled by a discordant word, or unkind thought and that fact speak volumes for
the generous heart of Mr. Taylor and the amiability and Christian virtues of Mrs.
Duke. It was beautifully suggestive of
their respective traits of character to hear them discuss the past, and live
over again the pioneer days of
The kindness of Mrs. Duke, when she was young an able to bestow it, extended to all, and the tender care of her daughter and other friends, was a fitting reward, for one who was the embodiment of all that was good in woman.
Thus, in the fullness of years, with a spotless record behind her, and in unfaltering trust in Him, who promised to light up the dark valley of death, she has entered upon the rest awaiting the pure in heart. We shall see he kindly face no more, but we would not call he back again to earth. The sheaf ready to be garnered and her work was done and over the river she rests in the light of His presence and wears a crown the gift of God’s own hand.

MRS. C. J. LOCKHART, born MARCH 1861 and died OCTOBER 28, 1888 after a long and painful illness of consumption at her home near the city of Owensboro. Mrs. Lockhart was the daughter Robert Craig and Jennie McHenry and grand-daughter of the Hon. John H. McHenry. We feel it is right in this economy of our nature, and realize the wisdom of the great Ruler of our destinies when the aged and unfortunate lay aside the fetters of life and exchange the grief’s, the hopes and the weariness of years for the rest and beauty of eternal day, but when the young, fair and gifted ones of earth are stricken down in the midst of their usefulness, the pulses of our being thrill with pain, and we ask in bitterness of soul, who must this be.... we feel that earth and every living thing should grieve with us, that sun and sky that flowers and singing birds should wear the barb of mourning.
