BRODIE	Saturday, 3 Feb 1866	Obituary Feb 3—In this city, on the 22d ult., Josephine BRODIE, aged 20 years, 1 month. We bid adieu to her whose voice so oft we have heard, now still in death. The grave now covers her, who, in years past was merriest among the festive throng; whose presence loaned a charm to each successive hour, no matter where such presence was found. Farewell, sweet girl! Thy place among thy friends is no longer filled, but me thinks ere now thy spirit roams among the blessed, and joy the world can never know, now fills to overflow thy soul. We love thee – miss thee, but deplore thee not. Thou art not dead, but livest in a better and happier world. “Sweet flower, good night.” The Van Buren Press (Van Buren, Arkansas)

DORRIS GORMAN	Tuesday, 23 Mar 1869	SERIOUS ACCIDENT Mar. 23—A man by the name of GORMAN, was accidentally shot one day last week, from a pistol in the hands of a boy named James DORRIS. It seems GORMAN and another man were talking on the walk in front of DORRIS shop, when this boy who was inside of the shop carelessly fired off a pistol, the ball passing out of the door that was open and inflicted a serious if not a fatal wound in the breast of GORMAN. It is time the authorities took this matter of carrying fire arms in hand. As it is now, this boy and most every other scrub of a boy has a pistol, which they are shooting off, greatly to the annoyance and danger of men, women and children. It would not be much satisfaction to a father or mother having a child killed or injured by such insignificant scrubs, to know that it was accidental. Let the authorities act at once.
