“Assault and Battery Case.  The Creston assault and battery case taken to Davenport for trial last week, in which George Dodd, of Creston, was plaintiff, and Walter Huston, of Sherman, defendant, resulted in a verdict of not guilty.  The trouble has apparently aroused a good deal of feeling through the Big Bend where the parties are known, and it transpires that there is a girl in the case. George Dodd had been keeping company with Huston’s sister, to which Walter and another brother had interposed their objections, and it finally terminated in a fight, in which Dodd is said to have been the aggressor. It is also claimed that he used brass knuckles. At all events he left some deep scars on Huston’s head and face, and Mr Cole, an uncle had Dodd arrested for assault and battery, and the justice fixed his bonds at $200 pending the preliminary hearing. Dodd then had Huston arrested charging him with the same offense, but as sentiment out that way seemed to be with Huston, a change of venue was demanded and granted, and the case taken to Davenport for trial. The examination of witnesses lasted until a late hour, but the jury very shortly brought in a verdict of not guilty.”  (LCT: 2-21-1896)

Wynhoff, Caroline:  ( d. Feb 27, 1896); age 53 yrs 2 mos 4 days); w/o Herbert; “Mrs. Hurbert Wynhoff. Died: Feb 28, 1896, aged 53 yrs, Wilbur.” (Lincoln Co Auditor: Death ledger);

Wynhoff, Caroline Dec 16, 1843-1896 Feb 28;  Mrs. Caroline Wynhoff, wife of Hubert Wynhoff, was a native of Ohio.  She was born Dec 16, 1843.  When as yet a child, her parents moved to Calidonia, Racine county, Wisconsin, where she lived for a number of years, and where she was married to Mr. Hubert Wynhoff , Jan. 31, 1867.  In 1869, in company with her husband and one child, she moved to Tripoli, Brewer county Iowa, where the family resided thirteen years.  In the spring of 1882, the family again moved farther west, locating near Sherman in what was then known as Spokane county,  now Lincoln, where she lived until her death which occurred Feb 28, 1896.  She was 53 years, 2 months and 11 days old.  She was the mother of nine children, eight of whom survive, the oldest having died shortly after the removal of the family in Iowa. In March 1885, she made a profession  of faith in Christ and united with the Sherman Baptist church in which she has lived a consistant Christian life ever since.  She loved the church and its services, and hence it was always her purpose to so arrange her domestic concerns as to be present in the house of God when the church met for public worship.  Whilst she shone bright in the church, a more unassuming and unpretending spirit never lived.  Humility and Christ-likeness was distinctly manifest in her.  Christian character as it stood related to the church and also to her home.  She approached so near the Christian standard as is given to humanity in this sinful world.  As a woman, those who knew her could scarcely fail, not only to respect, but to admire and love her, for she was so Christ-like in disposition, so pure in sympathies, so honest in speech, and always so ready to lend a helping hand to all who needed her assistance.  In her home life she was all that a wife and mother could be.  During her illness  which lasted several weeks she was always patient and her resignation to the will of God became more and more apparent to the very last.  As the end drew near her faith in God became more stronger, her hope in Chirst and immortality became brighter and the promises of God's word became more and more precious.  She is now far beyond the ills of this troublesome world basking in the present of her Redeemer inside the Golden Gates. "Be ye also ready"  The funeral was conducted by the writer in the presence of a large concourse of people  Her remains were conveyed to the Sherman graveyard, and there put away to rest until. the resurrection morn.   E. W. Lloyd

The undersigned desire to thus publicly express their sincere apprecation of the many kind acts and duties  performed by friends and neighbors during the sickness and at the death-bed of our loving wife and mother.  Hubert Wynhoff and Family.
