J. C. Union.

In behalf of Mrs. York and family, I would thank the many friends for all kindness shown in her great trouble.  The funeral sermon will be preached in the Baptist church on the return of the Rev. C. C. Pierce, pastor, when notice will be given.

Junction City Union - dated July 28, 1883.

Wednesday evening about seven o'clock Miss Sarah Brown, daughter of Mrs. Thomas York, was drowned in the Smoky Hill River, near the farm of George Taylor. Accompanied by a Mrs. Wilson and several children, she went in the river bathing, but the treacherous sand had moved off and the shallow place they were accustomed to had become a great hole. The children were rescued without trouble, but Mrs. Wilson was so near drowned that she suffered greatly. Mrs. George Taylor took great risks in her efforts to save the parties. The body of Miss Brown was found noon Thursday on a sand bar, a mile and a half below where she was drowned. Mrs. Wilson was greatly improved Friday morning.
