Mystery Solved
The painful mystery of the disappearance of Mr. Edward
Slevin, on the 22nd of January last, has at last
been cleared up by the finding of his body in the river a
the foot of Sixth street. Mr. Kunke, the
watchman on the steamer Logan, while riding in a skiff,
on Sunday, discovered a body and brought it ashore.
The Coroner was sent for and the body examined, and found
to be that of Mr. Slevin. It was very
much decomposed, but the watch was identified as the one
he carried at the time of his disappearance, and the
clothing and other things about the person showed
conclusively that it was his body. The last time Mr. Slevin
was seen was about two o’clock at night, and the
watch found on he persons had stopped running at forty
minutes past two. Although the body was so much
decomposed as to render a minute examination very
unpleasant and difficult, or energetic Coroner left
nothing undone to fully satisfy everyone as to its
identify. Obituary
Departed this life on the 3rd day of June, 1854, at his
residence, at the Three Springs, in Warren County, K.,
Mr. Jno. Cook, in the 39th year of his
gea?.
Mr. Cook came to this county from
Bourbon county Ky, in company with his father and family,
in the year 1832 - quite a youth - modest, amiable and
manly. In all his intercourse through life, his
deportment was that of a high minded, candid gentleman --
beloved by all who knew him and most by those how know
him best. As a neighbor, he was hospitable and
generous to a fault, as a husband and father, he was
kind, affectionate and indulgent -- He bore his illness
(consumption) with unparalleled fortitude, often spoke of
his condition to his family and fiends with calmness and
Christian resignation, assuming then that all was well
and that death had no terrors to him --- that he had the
witness withink, that he was an heir of God and joint
heir with Christ, that his sins had been pardoned through
Christ, and that he only waited the will of the Lord to
enter into that rest that remains to the “people or
God.” The writer of this article has been long and
intimately acquainted with Mr. Cook, with him frequently
during his sickness and at his death. He has left a
wife and three small children as well a many friend to
mourn his irreparable loss.
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is with the Lard -- Psal.

In Memoriam
Killed, near Woodburn, Ky., by a passing train, on
Thursday evening, Sept, 28th, 1871, “Link”
the well-known and accomplished bird dog of Jas.
Geddes, Esq. Link enjoyed a
fame justly won and most ably sustained. For qualities of
nose and endurance, he has a reputation that placed him
second to none. In style and beauty he was “principes
inter principes.” Well-trained, kind and easy of
control (several line unreadable)....... His well-known
bark of recognition will no more be heard upon the
platform at “Bow” Green. He was the friend and
ever willing champion of all birdsmen , and so by
them loved and petted, and by them will be fondly
remembered. Though only a dog, thou are not forgotten,
for we will ever remember that you
“Poor Dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, the foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his master’s own
Who labor, fights, lives, breathes, for him alone,
Unhonored falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth
While man, vain insect, have to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven
Farewell, “Old Link”, and though no storied
urn upon marble shaft marks your humble grave, thou art
not forgotten, thou are not forgotten
