County Judge Dead-Judge G.S. Bishop, dies suddenly at his home-Monday, December Ninth, at 11 o’clock p.m. of Apoplexy, his death deeply deplored Mrs. Barger - dies suddenly this morning: Judge George S. Bishop’s Death: Again Death came into our midst without warning and snatched away an honored citizen, and caused a gloom to settle more deeply over this community, which but the week before experienced such a shock from the sudden and violent deaths of two bright young men. George S. Bishop, county judge of this county, was called suddenly into eternity and leaves a host of friends to mourn his sudden death. It was such a shock his friends can hardly realize the fact. His end was peaceful and calm, without hardly a pain. George S. Bishop was born in Cuba, New York, May 9, 1849. His parents moved to Dwight, Illinois, when he was two years of age, six years after to La Porte, Iowa, and a little later to Waterloo, Iowa, where he grew to manhood and was educated. He was a graduate of the Iowa Law School and practiced law with his father in Waterloo. He came west and settled in Indianola in the early 70’s and took a homestead near the town. He practiced law and proved up on his claim. He went back to Iowa for a time, and returned to Indianola,. He started the Indianola Courier, the first paper published in this county, in 1880 and continued as its publisher until 1890 when he sold it and moved to Maryville, Tennessee where he was connected with the Times for a year then went to Georgia. He returned to Indianola in 1893, and started the Reporter. He sold that paper and came to McCook to work on this paper. He was employed on the Republican when he was elected county judge, and served in that capacity, for which he was so well qualified, so acceptably to everyone, regardless of politics, that he was re-elected to the same office twice since, each time with an increased majority. He was just finishing his second term when called away. His third term would have begun next month. The deceased was a man of many good traits. Honest and upright. His position on all questions in which he took part was never in doubt by friend or foe. His home life was an unusually happy one, and he enjoyed it. He took a great interest in the fraternal orders to which he belonged, and was one of the best informed members of the Masonic order in the state. At the time of his death he held the office of secretary in the four different bodies of that order. He was a past Noble Grand of the Odd Fellows lodge at Indianola and a member of the A.O.U.W. order in which he carried $2,000 insurance. He leaves a widow and three children, two daughters, Mabel and Jessie, and one son, Marion, and one sister, Mrs. Ida Sharon, of Davenport, Iowa. The funeral services were held in the Methodist church, to which denomination he belonged, yesterday morning at 9:30 under the auspices of St. John Commandery No. 16, K.T. Rev. L.M. Grigsby preaching the sermon. The funeral party, accompanied by Knights in uniform as an escort, left at 11 o’clock for Indianola where the remains were interred. The family have the sincere sympathy of everyone in their sorrow. Friday 13 December 1901

The lady who is staying with her was getting breakfast and at once began to prepare some kind of a tea for her, but Mrs. Barger got worse so rapidly the lady stepped to the door and asked a passer-by to get some one to come to her aid as she thought Mrs. Barger was dying.

Mrs. Barger has been a resident of McCook for years and is well known to nearly all citizens.
