NARROW ESCAPE
Marshal Wickey, a farmer near Mutton Creek, had a narrow escape from
drowning Monday. His hogs were in the bottoms along the stream, and the
water came up rapidly and he rode in on horseback to get them out. His
horse went down in deep water over his head, and the rider pitched over the
animal's head and landed in water seven feet deep. Had he not been a good
swimmer, he would have found a watery grave. The hogs escaped to high land.

charge of a church. This is Mr. Stancliff's first work as a regular pastor,
and he has the best wishes of the NEWS and a host of friends in this

HUGH O'CONNOR
Candidate for Congress from the Third Indiana District
Born in the United States but Was Educated in Ireland
His Irish Ancestor Marked an Epoch in English History
Grand Nephew of Fergus O'Connor
In speaking of Hugh O'Connor, the Republican candidate for Congress in the
Third district of Indiana which includes New Albany, Jeffersonville and
Corydon, Col. Durbin recently said: "Your candidate is no accident in this
campaign and unless I am very much mistaken in my estimate of this man, whom
I have observed closely for some time past, he will prove considerable of an
incident about November 6 and afterward."
.Hugh O'Connor was born in New Orleans at the close the Civil War in 1865.
His father, Daniel O'Connor, was part owner in a shipyard located in Algiers
opposite New Orleans. When the Union arm entered the city many of the dock
owners destroyed their property so that the Federals could not use it.
Daniel O'Connor took the contract to build the fleet of flatboats that were
used by Banks' army to cross Red River. After, he undertook the repairs of
the Federal boats and so great was the animosity against him that he was
compelled to go to Mobile for men to do the work.
At the age of ten Hugh O'Connor was sent to Ireland and remained there at
school until he reached his 19th year. On his return to America, he entered
the service of the Constitution Stone Company near Marietta, Ohio, and
gradually advanced to the position of assistant superintendent. In 1892 he
was transferred to Connecticut and placed in charge of the Windsor Red Stone
Company's quarries owned by the same parties as the Ohio quarries. In 1894
he came to Corydon, Indiana, as manager of the Corydon Stone Company and the
Louisville, New Albany & Corydon Railroad, a short line running from Corydon
Junction to Corydon and thence to the King's Cave quarries.
Mr. O'Connor is a grand nephew of Fergus O'Connor, the celebrated chartist
whose work marked an epoch in English history about 1840.
If there is anything in heredity, Hugh O'Connor must certainly have it in
him to succeed and one cannot help wishing that he may.

Earl S. Gwin Considered for Presidency of the Southern National Bank
New Albany (IN) Daily Ledger, July 21, 1911, p. 3.
HIGH COMPLIMENT
Paid by Louisville Bank People to New Albany Banker
When the directors of the Southern National Bank assemble at their regular
weekly meeting this afternoon, the matter of filling the office of president
of the institution, recently vacated by Allen R. White, may be taken up says
the Courier-Journal. In the event it is decided to hold an election, it is
said that one of three well known men, Perry H. Johnson, national bank
examiner in this district, Albert S. Rice, present vice president of the
bank, and Earl S. Gwin, president of the Second Nation Bank of New Albany,
will be chosen.
It is to be hoped, even in case he is chosen, that Mr. Gwin will decline the
honor. He is a progressive and most valuable citizen here and New Albany
cannot well afford to lose his entire force by splitting it up between two
cities.

IN MEMORY
Death has again visited our neighborhood and taken from us one of its most
precious jewels in the person of Thomas L. Sherrill who departed this life
December 31st, 1899, aged 17 years. He leaves father, mother, two brothers,
six sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his sad departure.
He was the pride of the home and loved by all who knew him. He was the
obedient son and a loving brother and kind to all. His remains were laid to
rest in the Beech Wood Cemetery, New Years Day.
Tis hard to break the tender cord when love had bound the heart;
Tis hard, so hard to speak the words, "We must forever part."
Agatha Sherrill
Crawford County (IN) Democrat, January 24, 1900.
Sarah Jane Gill(illegible) was born March 12, 1840, in the State of Georgia.
When quite young her parents removed to Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky,
where she grew up.
While at school in Lexington, Ky., at the age of 15, she became interested
in religion and united with the Christian Church. She remained a faithful
member of this church transferring her letter to the Corydon organization
upon her settling here.
In September 1860 she was married to Mr. Richard H. Lambe. Six children
came to them of whom two died in infancy and two others after they had grown
to girlhood. Two are still living: Mr. Richard H. Lambe, Jr., of Corydon,
and Mr. William Lambe whose home is in the Ohio County, Ky. Eight
grandchildren also survive her.
Five years ago the Lambes came to Corydon to live. Mrs. Lambe was then in
good health and made many friends among our people by her kind and genial
disposition. For the last two years, however, she has been confined to her
house and for much of the time to her bed with cancer.
Despite the incurable nature of her disease and her steady decline, the end
at last came suddenly. Tuesday at noon the 16th inst., she departed from
her frail body without a struggle.
The funeral book place on Wednesday the 17th in the Christian Church
conducted by Rev. Treloar and Rev. Storm. Her age was 59 years, 10 months
and 4 days. The large attendance testified to the love and esteem in which
she was held. The husband and the son desire publicly to express their
grateful appreciation of this sympathy and of the kindness shown them and
the departed one during her long illness.
