Mt. Tabor.
Sam Huling, of Locust Hill, was looking for cattle up this way the past week.
Since writing the paragraph in regard to Sam Huling being in the vicinity, it is now our painful duty to chronicle his sad demise. While talking to Dr. McWilliams Friday at his gate he dropped dead. This is the third sudden death within a few miles of each other within the past week.

Death of S. E. Huling
The sudden death of Samuel E. Huling, of Locust Hill, last Friday evening was a great surprise to the people here and elsewhere in the county who have known him for many years. He had been in good health, and his death occurred without a moments warning. While standing at his yard gate in conversation with Dr. J. A. McWilliams, who had called at the home on a professional visit to Mrs. Huling, he suddenly sank to the ground and expired without uttering a word.
Mr. Huling was a man known to everybody in that section, and the unexpected announcement of his death was sad news to the many friends he has made during his long and tensive [sic] business dealings with the people of his vicinity. For many years he had been a prominent farmer and stock dealer, and his operations in this line were probably larger than any other man in the county. At the time of his death he was feeding 175 head of cattle and 600 head of hogs. Besides this he had on hand a big lot of stock cattle and other stock. He had been very successful both as a farmer and in stock feeding, and owned a large tract of valuable real estate.

Locust Hill.
Died, at his home near this place, March 12th, 1897, S. E. Huling, aged 63 years the 25th of last December. His death was sudden and unexpected. He was at this place for his mail and doing some trading after sun down on the eve of the 12th, and went home apparently as well as usual. When he reached his yard gate he met Dr. McWilliams, who had been called in to see Mrs. Huling, who was sick. After talking a few minutes, the doctor turned to mount his horse, when he heard a strange noise and on looking around saw Mr. Huling on the ground. He expired in a few moments. He never spoke after falling. His funeral was preached the Sunday following at 11 o'clock at this place, a large crowd of sympathizing friends being present. Rev. Boon took his text, "One shall be taken and the other left." The family have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

FROM LOCUST HILL.
(The following relative to the death of Mr. S. E. Huling and Mrs. Lillie Douglass, were received too late for last week.—ED. DEMOCRAT.)
Mr. Samuel E. Huling died very suddenly Friday eve last — 12th. He was in usual health and had been to the post office—leaving there for home about six o'clock. At his yard gate he met Dr. A. J. McWilliams who had been called in to see Mrs. Huling. After a moment's conversation the doctor started for his horse, which he had just reached when Mr. Huling fell. He was immediately carried in the house and everything possible was done to revive him but in vain, as death was instantanoeus. Mr. Huling was born in Rhode Island in 1835; came to Missouri with his parents when a mere lad; had lived in this community for over 45 years. He had been a member of the M. E. church for 35 years. He leaves a wife, six sons and four daughters and a large circle of friends to mourn his death. His funeral was preached Sunday at 11 o'clock, by his pastor, Reb. John Boon, from the words of "The one shall be taken and the other left," after which the remains were interred in the family burying ground near his late residence.
