1303	Calvin Colclasure, 84, of Mesa, Arizona, formerly of the Flora area, died at Banner Baywood Hospital in Mesa, AZ. Funeral services were May 14 at the Bailey Funeral Home in Vienna with Rev. Jeff Lowery officiating. Burial was in Wise Robinson Cemetery in Ozark, with military rites by Beggs-Gurley VFW Post. ======= Calvin lied about his age, as a teen, in order to join the navy, and he made the Navy his career. He was married 3 times, the first two times to pretty women who didn't take to taking care of the homeplace while he sailed away for months at a time. There were jokes about him having 'a woman in every port' - which could have been true or not. He had 2 children by each wife (including 1 adoption). His third wife, Violet, was a big, homely, cheerful, jolly, likeable woman who could sing and play the piano and organ like nobody's business. She worked in an office and gave organ lessons on the side. She was a spinster and Calvin married her, when he left the Navy, because of her personality; he loved music and laughing and a good time. They adopted Ruth Ann, then had Jamie, who had health issues, and as a result, never worked, except for a short time once as a night watchman in a job Calvin found for him. Although I liked Calvin a lot and he could be great fun, his comedy and silliness could become wearing, and he didn't always behave seriously or responsibly. Violet was a pretty steady type and I think she was the making of their marriage. Steve and Jackie were the issue of his first marriage, and Matt and Brigette were the children of his 2nd marriage. After retiring from the Navy at 30-something, Calvin worked as a welder and claimed that he worked on the Sears tower in Chicago. He and Violet were involved with Eastern Star and the Masons, and he worked his way up to the Shriners, becoming a Shriner clown, riding in a mini-clown car and making balloon animals for various events. Calvin was always involved in something or other. One of his boys was into music and I recall Calvin in	Colclasure, Calvin Earl (I11475)

1315	Captain Thomas O. Peirce was born near Xenia, III.. July 8. 1838, and died at his home in that village April 14, 1908. His entire life had been spent in that community except four years In the service of his country and for nearly seventy years has been closely identified with all that pertained to the best growth and best citizenship of that section. He was a veteran of the Civil war and bore an honorable part in that terrific struggle, having enlisted in the union cause in August, 1862, and serving as captain of Co. C 111th Illinois Volunteers until Jan. 1865, when be was appointed inspecting officer of the Second Brigade of the second division of the Fifteenth Army Corps, in which capacity he served until he was mustered out in June, 1865. He was with Sherman's army in its famous march to the sea, a march made famous in song and story as well as in history, and was at the grand review in Washington when be was mustered out. He engaged in mercantile pursuits immediately after his discharge and his name was a synonym for integrity and uprightness. By his conscientious discharge of duty and his broad minded charity be endeared himself to a huge circle of friends and neighbors, and in his death every man, woman and child in that community will feel the personal loss of a friend. Captain Peirce was married three times, to the second union alone being born four children, two of whom died in infancy. Nathaniel T. and Lorena, wife of Dr. Chas. Johnson of Johnsonville, survive him. His brother, J. A. Peirce and his widow, formerly Mrs. Julia Stanley, also remain to mourn his loss. His remains were followed to their resting place in the Odd Fellows cemetery on last Thursday by a large concourse of mourning friends including all the grizzled veterans, now living, of his old company. While never a strong; man physically, his regular and exemplary habits engage in active pursuits till long past the age at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of the workers. It was his earnest and oft expressed wish, that he might "die in the harness", and it in source of comfort to his friends that this wish was gratified. To this end no doubt his even temperament and sun shiny disposition largely contributed. He was ever a doer and not a talker. Whatever his hands found to do, if it were right, it was done & done promptly and cheerfully. He bore not only his own burden, but took a peculiar delight in lightening the burdens of others. He exemplified by a pure and honorable life the teachings of the golden rule and unfailingly evincrd in his daily walk and conversation a practical piety which is the best of professions. He believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and that he who scatters flowers in the pathway of his fellow man, who let into the dark places of life the sunshine of human sympathy and human happiness is following in tbe footsteps of the Master. His ear was always open to the still sad music of humanity, the cry of want and the cry of unhappiness, and his response was ever eager and earnest. Like all doers of the Word, growing a little weary he stopped by the wayside for a little rest and sleep, and was awakened by the flutter of angels' wings, and the songs of the angelic choir. Like the good soldier that he was, always listening to the voice of command, and always ready to obey orders, he heard the words of the Grand Commander, "Come up higher where mortality shall be swallowed up in life," and responded with his customary alacrity, "Here am I, take me." It falls to the lot of few men to be able to look back upon such a busy and well spent life, a life so wholly given up to the discharge of duty and to die so universally loved, mourned and revered. Resolutions of Respect WHEAREAS: It has been the will of Our Heavenly Father to exemplify His Devine Power over His creatures on earth, to remove from our midst, to that Eternal Lodge above, a Worthy Brother T. 0.

1316	Captain William Hopkins was a steamboat Captain on the Ohio River and Mississippi River during the Civil War . William Hopkins married in his native state, West Virginia, resided on a farm there, and was a member of the convention called to partition the state into the present divisions of east and west. He ran boats on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers for thirty-five years. During that time he was captain of "The Tigress," which General Grant pressed into service at Cairo, Illinois, during the progress of the Civil war. All through its meteoric career in the military service he remained its captain under command of the gallant Grant. At Pittsburg Landing, Grant made his headquarters upon on the boat, and he and the elder Hopkins had many chats together. Later then ran the blockade at Vicksburg successfully, but when they had safely passed the last battery "The Tigress" sank, having been shot through the hull. At this time Captain Hopkins was home on a furlough, and owing to the loss of his boat was discharged from the service. He then moved with his family to Illinois, and settled in Clay County, in the winter of 1865, having bought nearly one thousand acres of land. This he was easily able to do as at the time of his arrival in Illinois his capital amounted to something like seventy-five thousand dollars. He had previously sold a farm in Virginia for forty-three thousand dollars. The farm settled in Clay County is now the property of the subject of our sketch. In 1883 William Hopkins retired from his farming activities and moved with his family to Flora, Illinois, where he afterwards died on July 25, 1887, aged sixty-nine years. William Hopkins married three times. Our subject was the youngest of three children, and his mother died when he was onlly three years of age. One of his brothers, Andrew, by name, is now dead. His father afterwards married Marian Kelly, who died in 1873. Later he espoused Kate Wilson, who still continues to survive him. His second marriage brought William Hopkins three children, all of whom grew to maturity though only one is now living. His third marriage brought him one son, Frank, who lives with his mother in Evansville, Indiana.

Calvin Colclasure, 84, of Mesa, Arizona, formerly of the Flora area, died at Banner Baywood Hospital in Mesa, AZ.

Funeral services were May 14 at the Bailey Funeral Home in Vienna with Rev. Jeff Lowery officiating.

Burial was in Wise Robinson Cemetery in Ozark, with military rites by Beggs-Gurley VFW Post.

=======
Calvin lied about his age, as a teen, in order to join the navy, and he made the Navy his career. He was married 3 times, the first two times to pretty women who didn't take to taking care of the homeplace while he sailed away for months at a time. There were jokes about him having 'a woman in every port' - which could have been true or not. He had 2 children by each wife (including 1 adoption). His third wife, Violet, was a big, homely, cheerful, jolly, likeable woman who could sing and play the piano and organ like nobody's business. She worked in an office and gave organ lessons on the side. She was a spinster and Calvin married her, when he left the Navy, because of her personality; he loved music and laughing and a good time. They adopted Ruth Ann, then had Jamie, who had health issues, and as a result, never worked, except for a short time once as a night watchman in a job Calvin found for him. Although I liked Calvin a lot and he could be great fun, his comedy and silliness could become wearing, and he didn't always behave seriously or responsibly. Violet was a pretty steady type and I think she was the making of their marriage.

Steve and Jackie were the issue of his first marriage, and Matt and Brigette were the children of his 2nd marriage.

After retiring from the Navy at 30-something, Calvin worked as a welder and claimed that he worked on the Sears tower in Chicago. He and Violet were involved with Eastern Star and the Masons, and he worked his way up to the Shriners, becoming a Shriner clown, riding in a mini-clown car and making balloon animals for various events. Calvin was always involved in something or other. One of his boys was into music and I recall Calvin in

Captain Thomas O. Peirce was born near Xenia, III.. July 8. 1838, and died at his home in that village April 14, 1908.

His entire life had been spent in that community except four years In the service of his country and for nearly seventy years has been closely identified with all that pertained to the best growth and best citizenship of that section.

He was a veteran of the Civil war and bore an honorable part in that terrific struggle, having enlisted in the union cause in August, 1862, and serving as captain of Co. C 111th Illinois Volunteers until Jan. 1865, when be was appointed inspecting officer of the Second Brigade of the second division of the Fifteenth Army Corps, in which capacity he served until he was mustered out in June, 1865. He was with Sherman's army in its famous march to the sea, a march made famous in song and story as well as in history, and was at the grand review in Washington when be was mustered out.

He engaged in mercantile pursuits immediately after his discharge and his name was a synonym for integrity and uprightness. By his conscientious discharge of duty and his broad minded charity be endeared himself to a huge circle of friends and neighbors, and in his death every man, woman and child in that community will feel the personal loss of a friend.

Captain Peirce was married three times, to the second union alone being born four children, two of whom died in infancy.

Nathaniel T. and Lorena, wife of Dr. Chas. Johnson of Johnsonville, survive him. His brother, J. A. Peirce and his widow, formerly Mrs. Julia Stanley, also remain to mourn his loss.

His remains were followed to their resting place in the Odd Fellows cemetery on last Thursday by a large concourse of mourning friends including all the grizzled veterans, now living, of his old company.

While never a strong; man physically, his regular and exemplary habits engage in active pursuits till long past the age at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of the workers. It was his earnest and oft expressed wish, that he might "die in the harness", and it in source of comfort to his friends that this wish was gratified. To this end no doubt his even temperament and sun shiny disposition largely contributed.

He was ever a doer and not a talker. Whatever his hands found to do, if it were right, it was done & done promptly and cheerfully. He bore not only his own burden, but took a peculiar delight in lightening the burdens of others. He exemplified by a pure and honorable life the teachings of the golden rule and unfailingly evincrd in his daily walk and conversation a practical piety which is the best of professions. He believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and that he who scatters flowers in the pathway of his fellow man, who let into the dark places of life the sunshine of human sympathy and human happiness is following in tbe footsteps of the Master.

His ear was always open to the still sad music of humanity, the cry of want and the cry of unhappiness, and his response was ever eager and earnest. Like all doers of the Word, growing a little weary he stopped by the wayside for a little rest and sleep, and was awakened by the flutter of angels' wings, and the songs of the angelic choir. Like the good soldier that he was, always listening to the voice of command, and always ready to obey orders, he heard the words of the Grand Commander, "Come up higher where mortality shall be swallowed up in life," and responded with his customary alacrity, "Here am I, take me."

It falls to the lot of few men to be able to look back upon such a busy and well spent life, a life so wholly given up to the discharge of duty and to die so universally loved, mourned and revered.

Captain William Hopkins was a steamboat Captain on the Ohio River and Mississippi River during the Civil War .

William Hopkins married in his native state, West Virginia, resided on a farm there, and was a member of the convention called to partition the state into the present divisions of east and west. He ran boats on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers for thirty-five years. During that time he was captain of "The Tigress," which General Grant pressed into service at Cairo, Illinois, during the progress of the Civil war. All through its meteoric career in the military service he remained its captain under command of the gallant Grant. At Pittsburg Landing, Grant made his headquarters upon on the boat, and he and the elder Hopkins had many chats together. Later then ran the blockade at Vicksburg successfully, but when they had safely passed the last battery "The Tigress" sank, having been shot through the hull. At this time Captain Hopkins was home on a furlough, and owing to the loss of his boat was discharged from the service.

He then moved with his family to Illinois, and settled in Clay County, in the winter of 1865, having bought nearly one thousand acres of land. This he was easily able to do as at the time of his arrival in Illinois his capital amounted to something like seventy-five thousand dollars. He had previously sold a farm in Virginia for forty-three thousand dollars. The farm settled in Clay County is now the property of the subject of our sketch. In 1883 William Hopkins retired from his farming activities and moved with his family to Flora, Illinois, where he afterwards died on July 25, 1887, aged sixty-nine years. William Hopkins married three times. Our subject was the youngest of three children, and his mother died when he was onlly three years of age. One of his brothers, Andrew, by name, is now dead. His father afterwards married Marian Kelly, who died in 1873. Later he espoused Kate Wilson, who still continues to survive him. His second marriage brought William Hopkins three children, all of whom grew to maturity though only one is now living. His third marriage brought him one son, Frank, who lives with his mother in Evansville, Indiana.
