TORNADO STRUCK NEAR FARMINGTON WEDNESDAY - CHILD KILLED, MUCH PROPERTY DAMAGE:
For the second time in seven months, St. Francois County suffered heavy damage from a tornado, Wednesday afternoon. The vicinity south of Farmington suffered heavy property damage and a child was fatally injured.
The out-of-season tornado roared through a number of Illinois and Missouri municipalities, causing six deaths and injuring at least 70 persons. Apparently hit hardest was Murphysboro, Ill., where four persons were reported dead.
Robert Shannon, 7 month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Shannon of the Libertyville community, died Wednesday afternoon at the Mineral Area Osteopathic Hospital of injuries received in the tornado. The baby received a fractured skull and other internal head injuries and died at 4:10 a little over two hours after the tornado hit.
Mrs. Cash Lunsford, the child's grandmother who was with him at the time was also taken to the Mineral Area Osteopathic Hospital, her main injury being a severely lacerated right foot. She was later taken by Miller ambulance to Barnes Hospital in St. Louis for specialized treatment for the foot.
Several houses other than the Shannon home were leveled by the tornado. The Otto Stadter home was demolished and all of the buildings on the Jennie Boyd place were destroyed except the house, it was reported.
A huge amount of damage was done at the Harry Kollmeyer place on Highway 67 about six miles south of Farmington. The roof of the brick Kollmeyer residence was badly damaged as well as the porches and windows. A frame dwelling on the place, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Orville Koester and their son, Donald, was leveled as well as a hay barn, milking parlor and a brick garage. No one was at home at Kollmeyers but the Koesters saw the twister coming and ran for the Kollmeyer storm cellar. Mr. Koester is employed by Mr. Kollmeyer, a distributor for Pevely milk. Several vehicles, including a lumber-loaded truck, were overturned and damaged.
No damage to power lines in Farmington was reported, but electrical service was cut off shortly before two o'clock Wednesday and was off for four hours. Union Electric's main feeder lines between there and Mine La Motte were damaged, causing the interruption in service in Farmington.
Storm warning alerts were broadcast for the area between West Plains, Mo., and Farmington, continuing up to 6:00 p.m., Wednesday.
Phil Pardon, local Union Electric Company manager, stated yesterday that two 33,000 and one 138,000 volt circuits were blown down between Farmington and Fredericktown, near the Clearview School and the Harry Kollmeyer farm. Service in Farmington was cut off at 1:53 p.m. and restored at 6:12 p.m. A few scattered customers on rural lines were still without power yesterday.

BONNE TERRE BAKER KILLED WHILE OPERATING DOUGH MIXER:
Mr. B. Barban, who for many years conducted a bakery business at Bonne Terre [St. Francois County, Mo.] met a terrible death early last Saturday morning when he became entangled in a dough mixing machine. It was his habit to get up at one o'clock in the morning to start the baking for the day. He was starting the dough mixer and in some manner caught his hand in the machine. As the machine revolved very rapidly his body was drawn in before the power could be shut off. Mr. Tilman Porterfield was there at the time but the whole thing happened so unexpectedly and so quickly that it was impossible to prevent it. The unfortunate man was caught in such a position that it took three machinists over two hours to extricate his body from the machine and during this time he suffered agony which was mercifully lessened by ancpiate given by the physician who had been called. Death came several hours later.
Balthaser Barban was born in Germany March 23, 1858 and died October 5, 1920. He came to this country when a young man and located in Bonne Terre about seventeen years ago. He was a baker by trade and had successfully conducted a bakery during the time he lived in Bonne Terre. Shortly after going to Bonne Terre he was married to Pauline Fischer of St. Louis who survives him. To them were born five children, Adam, Margurite, Larene, Earl and Irvin all of them young and rendered fatherless by this terrible accident. Four children by a former marriage also survive him: They are Mrs. Katherine Fischer, Albert, Peter and Edna.
The funeral services were conducted at the home Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock after which the body was taken to St. Louis for burial. The Knights of Pythias lodge conducted services Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock at Pleitch's Funeral Parlors in St. Louis and the Knights of Maccabees conducted the ceremony at the grave.
Bonne Terre has lost a good man and an industrious and honest citizen whose loss will be keenly felt. The heartbroken wife and fatherless children have the sincere and heart-felt sympathy of the whole community.

OLD CITIZEN TAKES OWN LIFE:
Bonne Terre was shocked Saturday night about eight o'clock by the news that J. J. Lesser had taken his own life, the deed being committed at the A.O.U.W. Pythian Hall over Fraser's Store.
At the usual time Saturday evening S. A. Holdman had unlocked the Lodge Hall for the use of the Pythian Sisters Fraternal order.
At about eight o'clock a party of Lodge women went to the hall and found it locked. They hunted up Mr. Holdman who went to the hall and again unlocked the door and the ladies went on up into the hall and on entering some of them almost fell over the body of Mr. Lesser who had evidently been dead some minutes.
The dead man committed suicide with a Marlin pump gun said to belong to one of Mr. Lesser's boys. That Lesser had made thorough preparation was evidenced by the fact that he had written four notes: one to his wife, one to his son Harry, one to his son John, and one to the Bonne Terre Star-News- Register. These he had laid on chairs. He had removed his glasses and some of his clothing, then placed the muzzle of the gun against his body and pulled the trigger, evidently with a poker.
The coroner was notified and the remains were taken to the undertaking parlors where an inquest was held Sunday.
The note to his son Harry was said to read as follows:
Dear Son: I hate to use your gun for this purpose but can see no other chance. I want you to be guardian for the four children under age. Do what is right by them. Good by Dad.
In the letter to the other son, he told him to get married soon as had been the plans and to be happy.
The letter to the Star-News-Register written on A.O.U.W. Stationery was as follows:
Editor Star-News-Register,
I don't want no blame to rest on no one for what I have done, especially my wife, she has been very kind to my children and I have been very happy with her. I do this because I have been discharged and no show to get work. Please print this and oblige. J. J. Lesser.
John Jacob Lesser was born at Knob Lick, Mo., Nov. 3, 1858. He came to Bonne Terre in 1880 and entered the employ of the St. Joseph Lead Company. He was married January 23, 1893 to Miss Katherine Wagner who preceded him in death on August 11, 1914. To them were born eleven children of whom there are living: Harry of Bonne Terre; John of St. Louis; Ethel Ball of Flat River; Mabel Lesser of St. Louis; Pearl, Alma, Jake, Alfred and Catherine Lesser all of Bonne Terre.
On April 23, 1921 he was married to Mrs. Annie Nethington who survives him.
The funeral was held Monday, August 8, 1921 at 2:30 p.m. from the home. Rev. Wright of Desloge speaking words of consolation to the bereaved. Interment was had at Bonne Terre Cemetery under the Auspices of the A.O.U.W. with which fraternal order Mr. Lesser has for long been associated.

Mr. Lesser was a brother of our respected townspeople Mr. F. P. Lesser and Mrs. Frank Hosking, who with the immediate members of the family have the sympathy of the Star-News-Register and host of friends.

CARD OF THANKS:

WILLIAM GOFF HOUSE:
William Goff House, better known in Bonne Terre as "Doc" House, died at his home in Bonne Terre, Mo., on Sunday, February 4, 1917, after an illness of but two days.
Mr. House came from one of the oldest families in this section. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson House, and was born near Germany Church, April 22, 1858, being 58 years, 7 months and 12 days of age at his death.
He was married in 1889 to Miss Annie Bell Yeager who survives him as do two sons, Elza and Harold House, both living in Bonne Terre.
He has for 35 years been a member of the Baptist Church and at the time of his death was a trustee of the local Baptist Congregation.
Since he was 16 years old he had worked in Bonne Terre for the St. Joseph Lead Company, continuously, with the exception of two weeks during which he was in St. Louis, going there to take a job on the street car, which did not suit him and he came home.
He was a member of Mineral Lodge No. 96, Knights of Pythias, of Rising Star Lodge I.O.O.F. and of the Arietta Lodge Daughters of Rebekahs.
The funeral was held Tuesday, the 6th, at 2 p.m. at the Baptist Church, Rev. Pierce paying a touching tribute to his memory.
Interment was at the Bonne Terre Cemetery under the auspices of the Pythians and Odd Fellows.
He is survived by his wife and two sons, and by his mother, Mrs Margaret Armon, and his half brother, Thomas Armon.
The Bible tells us that when God created the heavens and the earth on the third day, He said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself upon the earth; and it was so." From that day to this it has been so. Yet all these seeds must be sown in their season and in a climate adapted to their nature, else they will perish. But there is a seed that will bear fruit in all seasons and in every climate under heaven. Plant it in the cold where the snows never melt, or in the heat where frosts never come; scatter it on the naked rocks or in the most fertile soil; drop it in the water or on the land everywhere, every seed will germinate and grow and reward the sower. It is tilled by a hand that never tires; it is watched by an eye that never sleeps; it is trained by a power that tempers all the elements to his healthiest maturity. That seed is kindness, and was a seed scattered ever and broadly by Doc House, according to the testimony of home, of church, of friends, of the community.
May he rest in peace.
