Deceased was 73 years of age and had been ill for some time. The remains were interred in the cemetery at this city on Thursday and were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of relatives and friends. Rev W T Koontz of the Sprague ME Church officiating. Mrs. Frink bore her sufferings with the fortitude of a true Christian and gave evidence that the God in whom she trusted was her stay until the close of life.”

The funeral services were held in the Congregational church at 10 o’clock this morning. Interment in Lakeview Cemetery. Mrs. Frink was born March 3rd, 1874.

Gilhause, John: (Northwest Tribune of Sept 9, 1886) “John Gilhause, a farmer seven miles west of Sprague, met with his death last week in a well he was digging alone. He was evidently going down when the fastenings gave way and he fell to the bottom, breaking his neck and leg. The deceased was a German about 50 years of age, and was buried at Sprague on Wednesday.”
Greenwood, William Lewis and Martha Jane (nee Watson) Documentation gathered by Nancy Ellis of the Lincoln County Museum of Davenport. Wm Lewis Greenwood was born in KY and died on 13 March 1888. According to the Sprague Lamont Edwall History on page 337-8 (item on Lillie Maude Brown Greenwood, wife of Louis Edwin Greenwood), the parents of Louis E Greenwood were buried in the old part of Maccabee, which is Lakeview Cemetery. Martha Jane Watson was born about 1831 and died in Spokane County on 13 Aug 1883, age 52 yrs. Martha and Wm Lewis Greenwood had 6 known children: Sophia Jane (25 Oct 1853-4 Aug 1912), George W. (born abt 1856), Mary E. Greenwood (born about 1862), John Henry “Jack” (4 June 1862-26 Jan 1940), Lewis Edwin (2 Feb 1866-5 Dec 1947) and Frank Greenwood (born about 1870).

William Lewis Greenwood remarried on 7 Oct 1884 in Sprague to Sophia Paine; however, Mrs. Wm L. Greenwood is listed alone on the 1885 census of Lincoln Co as married, age 55 and born in Maine.
Haase, J. F.: (Northwest Tribune of Nov 18, 1886, Thursday). “Last Sunday afternoon as the train pulled out from the depot J. F. Haase, of Sprague, met with his death. From reports at the Coroner’s inquest we glean the following: The accident occurred when the west bound passenger train pulled out of the station Sunday afternoon. From two witnesses who saw the accident—C B Dunn and Owen Nobles—who gave in their evidence before the coroner’s jury, it seems that Mr. Haase had missed the train as it started. He ran for some distance on the south side of the track trying to catch hold of and board the last car at the forward platform. He had got as far as the beginning of the switch, some 30 or 40 feet west of the Lincoln Street crossing, when he fell, his neck struck on the track and the rear wheels passed over it severing the head almost completely from the body. Among the crowd that collected was Mr. Spencer, of Sprague, who at once recognized the deceased as J. F. Haase of that city. Marshal Glispin took charge of the remains until Coroner Penfield arrived, who has the body removed to the Undertaker. On Monday the body was taken to Sprague where it was buried. Mr. Haase was some 50 years of age. He owns a farm some 12 miles from Sprague, but for the past four months he has been working for Mr. Adams in the machine shops. He was a sober and industrious workman. Saturday he got to leave to go out and hunt some horses. Being injured from a fall he purchased a round trip ticket to this place. On his return he attempted to board the train with this result."

(illegible, incongruous as viewed.) Address: Sprague PO. Disability: chronic diarrhea. Remarks: broken constitution.” “Six handsome headstones for soldiers’ graves arrived Friday of last week from Boston, Mass. The United states provides these headstones for all soldiers. One of them was placed at the grave of David Henderson, one at the grave of J. M. Adwell, and four were marked ‘unknown.’ The tablets for those who were known were lettered with their names, and the company and regiment in which they served. The headstones were consigned to J. J.

For many months past they have been in destitute circumstances and have been taken care of by their friends and the city.

Hughes. The remains, in charge of J W Shearer, arrived in a freight train at two o’clock that afternoon, when we learned the following particulars of his death: Mr. Hughes, with M. G. Root and father, and J. W. Shearer, were opening some placer claims on the upper Priest River, Kootenia Co, Idaho, where they have been at work since last June. The weather becoming very cold, they had decided to abandon work for the season, and on Saturday, the first of this month, after having cached their tools, they started for home, intending however, to take it leisurely and do some hunting on the way. The following Monday they went into camp a few miles below their claims for the above purpose. The day following Mr. Hughes complained of his lungs hurting him badly, also from pain in his back, which had been hurt a short time before by a fall. On Wednesday pneumonia had a firm hold on him, and that night and the following day his sufferings were intense. While death was not anticipated, he nevertheless requested that if he should die his remains must be brought home that they might be identified. His \friends did everything in their power, but to no avail, and at 7:30 Thursday evening the 6th inst, he died as calmly as though going to sleep. The body was dressed and carefully wrapped in canvass, and the following morning the long and sorrowful homeward journey was commenced... The remains were in a perfect state of preservation, owing to the journey having been made on water, and the aged face was as natural when exposed to view here, as though death had just occurred. Mr. Hughes was an honored mason, and was interred by Sprague lodge No 40, F & AM. Public services were held at the Congregational church at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon from where his remains were conveyed to the cemetery. He was about 60 years of age, and leaves his family in comfortable circumstances. A wife and four daughters mourn his death.”
