James W. Kitzmiller.
State Register Special Service.
Girard, Ill., Jan. 28. -- The remains of James W. Kitzmiller, who died at 7 a.m. Thursday at the Illinois hospital for the Insane at Jacksonville, following an illness from pneumonia, were brought to this city yesterday morning and taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. George Post, from which place the funeral occurred to-day at 2 o'clock, the Rev. Mr. Rumsey, pastor of the Baptist church of this city, officiating. Interment was in Girard cemetery. The deceased was a son of the late Rev. M. V. Kitzmiller, one of the pioneers of this vicinity, and who was pastor of the Baptist church here for many years. James W. was for one term a member of the Illinois legislature and was also a prominent lawyer of Medora.
He is survived by three brothers and four sisters, viz: Milton of Jacksonville; Martin of Macoupin Station; Preston of Fort Assinibone, Mont.; Mrs. John Loyd of Princeton, Kan., and Mrs. George Post of this city.
Deceased was 56 years of age.

Note: It is interesting that James body was delivered to his sister. Neither his wife nor his children were mentioned in the obituary.

GRAVE MARKER

I went over the Girard City Cemetery pretty thoroughly and did not find a marker for James. There are markers for his parents and several siblings buried there. It is interesting to note that both James W. Kitzmiller and Georgia (Palmer) Kitzmiller are listed in the 1910 census. James is a patient in the Jacksonville State Hospital and Georgia is listed as head of the family farm. Both reported that they were widowers.

Mrs. Voorhees' Rites at Medora
MEDORA, March 25, (Special) -- The funeral of Mrs. Donald Voorhees was held this morning at 10 O'clock at the home on the farm near here. Burial took place in Medora cemetery. A number of Alton friends and relatives attended the funeral but many others who intended to go to the service were detained at home on account of the heavy rains. Among those who went to the Voorhees farm Sunday and remained over for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Voorhees of College avenue, and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Carter, of Main street, Alton.
"Suicide by drowning" was the verdict following an inquest into Mrs. Voorhees death. The inquest was conducted by coroner McBrian of Staunton Saturday afternoon. A previous attempt at suicide had been made by her three weeks ago, it was testified during the inquest. She left a note explaining her death. She had been in ill health for some time.
Mrs. Voorhees was the daughter of Mrs. Georgia Kitzmiller, many years a resident of College avenue in upper Alton, whose death occurred four weeks ago at Medora. She was a grand-daughter of the late George Palmer, one of the largest pioneer land owners in the Medora neighborhood. Donald Voorhees, the surviving husband, spent his boyhood days on Sunny Side farm just north of the city limits at Upper Alton where his father, Prof. George L. Voorhees, was superintendent of the Upper Alton public schools 30 years ago.
Following the marriage of Mr. an Mrs. Donald Voorhees the couple engaged in farming on the land where her tragic death occurred Saturday and which had been owned by her grandfather. They were successful and after a few years retired from farming and built a modern home in Medora. Three years ago they sold their Medora residence to Frank Whitfield who converted the residence into a funeral home. After selling their home in Medora Mr. and Mrs. Voorhees returned to their farm to reside.

DEATH CLAIMS ANOTHER MISS GUSSIE KITZMILLER POST

The spark of life, ray of hope and joy to fond parents, passed from the body of Miss Gussie KITZMILLER POST, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. POST, this (Thursday)morning, November 16, 1891(probably 1899), at 5 o'clock. The curtain of night unfolded and the light of eternity was revealed to the deceased, her spirit returning to Him who is the creator and preserver of all mankind. He, whom she put her trust as a pure, virtuous Christian woman. Her life, though brief, was filled with pleasant moments. She was of a happy nature and possessed a host of friends. As a school girl she was beloved by her classmates, and was the hope and joy of her parents and grandparents. She was idolized by her aunt, Mrs. Gussie NORTON, of Chicago. To the brothers, sisters, parents and friends her sudden taking off is a sad, sad blow. Miss Gussie KITZMILLER POST was born September 16th, 1881, on a farm near the city of Girard. With the exception of a few months she has been reared in this community. She was a graduate of the Girard High Schools, and at the time of her death held a position as teacher in the Public Schools. She was a member of the Baptist Church, and a teacher in the Sunday school. She departed this life after 18 years and two months of usefulness to her parents and the community; a dutiful child and a Christian worker, a true sister was she to her dear brothers and sisters. Her ailment which proved beyond medical skill was Acute Pharyngitis. Her death is truly lamented by all our citizens and the bereaved family and friends have the sympathy of the community, in their loss. Funeral Saturday from the Baptist church at 2 p.m. Interment in Girard Cemetery.
