Amon, Dr. J.A.
ROAD ACCIDENT - Fatal to Dr. J. A. Amon Whose Car Gets Beyond Control And Goes Over Embankment -Steering Rod Breaks

One of the most deplorable accidents which has ever occurred on our city or community happened last Sunday morning, when Dr. J. A. Amon was fatally injured when the car in which he was driving went over a thirty foot embankment on the Lancaster and Richmond pike about four miles from Lancaster, he succumbing to the injuries about noon the following day.
Dr. Amon was returning from a call to the family of Joe Hammond near Point Leavell, accompanied by boyd Hammond, member of the family on whom he had just paid a visit and while making the sharp turn on the road near the residence of W. Palmer, the radius rod of the machine dropped off, thus rendering the car unmanageable, it rolled down the embankment making several turns on its descent and pinioning Dr. Amon beneath it. Young Hammond, who was unhurt, except from a few scratches, called for help, which happened to be near and soon as possible released the unfortunate victim from his suffering position. A passing truck brought him to town, where it was soon discovered that he was suffering from internal injuries and possible broken spine. Everything possible was done to relieve him, but he himself realized that he was fatally injured and that death was only a matter of a few hours.
Dr. Amon was one of the best known and popular physicians of this city and had been practicing his profession in this county for over twenty-five years. For two years before moving to this county he lived and started his professional career in Middlesboro. He was a graduate of Georgetown College and Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia. He was 59 years old the 16th of last January.
Twenty-six years ago he married Miss Ida Kelley, of this county, who survives him, also two boys, W. Rice Amon of New York City and Collis Amon. His mother, Mrs Katherine Amon, also survives and one sister, Mrs. Moberly, of Coffeyville, Kan. He was an uncle of John Miley Amon and Mrs. Clarence Holtzclaw, of this county. Dr. Amon was member of the Baptist church and had been since his early boyhood.
The tragic and unfortunate death of Dr. Amon has cast a gloom over the entire community. He was very popular and probably knew personally every citizen in the county. He was one of the leading republicans of the county and served as road supervisor for Garrard county. He took an active interest in all progressive affairs and was one of the leading farmers of the county, owning several hundred acres near Camp Dick Robinson at the time of his death.
Funeral services were conducted at the home yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, where one of the largest crowds ever seen on a similar occasion had gathered to pay their last respects to his honored memory. These services were conducted by Rev. B. A. Dawes, assisted by Rev. E. B. Bourland and Rev. F. M. Tinder, internment following in the Lancaster cemetery.

Anderson, Sue Burnside
Death has been busy among citizens of Garrard County recently, and the roll of those whose leaving causes many heartaches was added the name of Mrs. Sue Burnside Anderson, who passed away at her home on Danville Street last Monday morning at eight o’clock.
Six years ago Mrs. Anderson was stricken with a distressing paralysis, which confined her to her chair until a few days before her death. This was a most trying affliction to one with her tireless activity, accustomed always to minister, and not to be ministered unto, but she accepted it with Christian resignation, cheerfully accepting the love and watchcare, so generously lavished upon her by her children and other loved ones and friends.
Though Mrs. Anderson had been an invalid for years, she made home for her boys and her brother, who were prepared to know well the inevitable was sure to come. Yet when the motherly spirit passed over the silent chasm, their grief was all the more poignant, because of the empty chair and no one to minister unto.
Mrs. Anderson was a daughter of Josiah and Almira Burnside, pioneer citizens of Garrard County, at one time a large family, but all have preceded her except one sister, Mrs. Dan Walker, of Wichita Falls, Texas, and four brothers, Messrs Joe and James of this city, Dr. William Burnside of Barbourville, and Allen Burnside of New Lebanon, Ohio.
Her three devoted sons are Messrs S.H. and R.V. Anderson, of this city and J.B. Anderson of Chanute, Kansas.
Mrs. Anderson was seventy-six years old, a devout member of the Baptist Church and until her affliction was a regular attendant at all of the church services.
Funeral services were conducted at the grave last Tuesday afternoon, by her pastor, Rev. C.D. Strother, preceding the interment in the Lancaster Cemetery.
