He enlisted for a period of one year and joined Company D of the 155th Illinois Regiment at Camp Butler, Illinois. The timing of his enlistment is ssomewhat inexplicable since the end of the war was two months away and he joined two weeks prior to the birth of his daughter. He signed up with two of his neighbors, and they may have been attracted by a bounty of thirty-three dollars, which was paid at the time of their discharge. According to pay slips in his Military Service Records (file no. 701-051) at the National Archives, Joseph was five feet eight inches tall, had fair complexion, light hair and blue eyes. He was mustered out of the service at Murfreesboro, Illinois on September 4, 1865 after eight months of service and after the Civil War had ended in April 1865.

6959	On June 12, surrounded by his loving family, Joel Joey Duane Denton, 64, lifted his final weight on this Earth as he passed on to become a powerhouse in Heaven. Joey was born June 3, 1960, in Flora, the son of Joe and Vera (Brown) Denton. As soon as he opened his beautiful blue eyes, he began his love affair with speed and adventure. Whether racing the wind on his Harley Davidson or enjoying one of the many hotrods he had owned throughout his lifetime, he lived life fiercely. With his wide smile as bright as the chrome on his bike, his need for speed was only surpassed by his love for his family and friends who will deeply miss his one-of-a-kind stories, exceptional character, and infectious laughter. Joey was a pillar of strength and inspiration in the powerlifting community. His unwavering dedication to his craft and his courageous spirit inspired countless individuals to push beyond their limits and find some solace in the iron. His impressive feats in squat, bench, and deadlift were a testament to his unyielding spirit and his ability to lift up others. He was very proud to be a 3-time National Powerlifting Champion and was voted Athlete of the Year in Dallas, Texas. Joeys legacy extends far beyond his phenomenal lifts, as he was a shining example of what it means to live a life of passion. As Joey enters the gates of Heaven, we take comfort in knowing he continues to lift spirits and inspire souls. His strength and power will never be forgotten, and his impact will be felt for generations to come. Memories of his childhood spent swimming at Poppys Bluff and roaming the countryside on his motorcycle will forever be in our hearts. Joey was an excellent pool player, an amazingly talented poet, and excelled at most everything he did. He was a bit of a perfectionist who kept his home, yard, and cars immaculate, but above all he deeply cared for his beautiful wife, Holly. They were married on October 12, 2016, and they have shared so much love in those few short years. Joey was very proud of his children and grandchildren and loved making memories with each one. When the only grand boy came along, he was very honored to have a namesake. He is survived by his wife: Holly Denton; children: Rachel (Shane) Walker and Benjamin Denton, both of Flora; stepchildren: Joseph Haun and family of Jerseyville and Aaron McCaherty and family of Clay City; grandchildren: Kamry Austin, Dani Denton, Eli Joel Walker, and Harper Denton; sisters: Tammy (Kevin) Foster of Olney, and Kelly Denton of Effingham; mother and father-in-law: William E. and Mayme Matthis Sr. of Godfrey; brothers and sisters-in-law: William E. (Charlotte) Matthis Jr. and family of Grafton, Gina (Steve) Scott and family of East Alton, David Ashmore of Alabama, Ryan (Angelique) Hicks and family of Columbia, and Heidi (Pete) Graves and family of Godfrey; an aunt: Dixie Young of Xenia; an uncle Larry Workman of Flora; special extended family: Stevi and Josh Brinkley and family and Smitty and Mable Smith; and many cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; a nephew: Schyler Monical; mother-in-law: Bonita Johnston; and his beloved uncle: Henry Brown.

6961	On Saturday afternoon freight train No. 59 west bound, due at Flora about five o'clock, ran over and instantly killed Mrs. May Metzger, wife of John Metzger of Clay City. Mrs. Metzger had been to Rinard on a visit and came to Flora on the nine fifty train on Saturday morning on her way home. By some means she missed the passenger train to Clay City and starled to walk down the railroad track. The engineer on the freight saw her and blew the whistle repeatedly to attract her attention. He's positive she heard him for he saw her look up. Not withstanding she kept in the middle of the track and continued walking toward the train, he supposed she would step off In time, and hence did not put on the air brake until within about fifty feet of her. It was impossible to stop the train ................................ The remains were brought to this city by the train crew where she was identified and the inquest held al the undertaking rooms of E. D. Hancock & Co.. and afterwards interred in the cemetery at Clay City. ................................ (Southern Illinois Journal, Sep 27, 1907)	?, May (I33674)

6964	On Sunday last the grim tyrant Death came, and with his scythe removed from our midst old uncle Isaac Bean, in the ninety-third year of his age. He immigrated to this county in 1832, with his parents, from North Carolina, who died and were buried on the old home place, and where he, too, was laid away to rest on Monday last. His wife, who died about seven years ago, is also buried in the same yard. Mr. Bean was one among the oldest men in this section of country, and one of the oldest pioneers, having resided at one place six miles north of town for fifty one years. He was one of the remarkable men of the age; there breathed no more honest a man than uncle Isaac Bean; he regarded his word equal to his oath, and just as ready to condemn a man for not doing right by his fellowman. He made no profession of christianity, but in practice and principle he was a true christian. He leaves six grown children, three boys and three girls, all of whom are known to our people. He died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. M. Tarable, just across the road from his house. As stated, he was buried on his farm beside his wife, father and mother, the latter having died in 1887. Peace to the venerable pioneer's ashes.

6969	On Tuesday, April 30, Judy Lawrence of Glenview, Illinois passed at the age of 76 in her home surrounded by her loving family. Mom (Judy) was born in Olney, IL and attended East Richland High School and Deaconess Nursing School. She moved many times over the decades from Illinois to Wisconsin to Virginia and back to Illinois, raising her children while working full-time as a nurse. She was a great lover of animals and supported Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah, both financially and with volunteer time, creating many happy memories there. She loved the Chicago Botanic Garden and enjoyed it often with family and friends, particularly her grandsons. Mom knew first-hand that experiences were more important than things and made sure her family vacationed at Sundance Resort almost every year for twenty years. She loved to ride horses, hike to Stewart Falls, take the chair lift, and enjoy dinners at the Foundry Grill with a bit too much wine which was exactly 1.5 glasses. Many people believe Robert Redford is wealthy because of his acting career or the Sundance Film Festival. Nope... it's from our vacations. You can thank Mom, Bob. Even so, besides experiences there were a few "things" she really liked. She bestowed upon her entire family a great love of shoes. Ever wonder how Nordstrom stays in the black? Mom. We should have bought stock. Mom was loved for her kindness and compassion, along with her wit and sense of humor. More than anything, Mom was able to touch thousands of lives through her 50+ year career as a nurse, particularly the 34 years she spent as a hospice nurse. She worked in hospice until March 2019. If you live on the North Shore, Mom probably took care of your mom, dad, sister, brother, son, daughter, or family member. Everyone knew her, and everyone will miss her. She is preceded in death by her mother, Ruth Michels, her father, Henry Edmund Myrl "Moon" Michels, and her brother Jerry Michels of Calhoun and Olney, IL. Judy is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Andrea (Lawrence) and Jon Nordgren of Arvada, CO; daughter, Alison Lawrence of Glenview, IL; and son and daughter-in-law, Ryan Lawrence and Ashley McMahon of Denver, CO; her grandsons, Luke Nordgren, 19, of Arvada, CO and Erik Nordgren, 22, of New York, NY; her brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Kathy Michels of Olney, IL; her sister-in-law, Sue Michels, of Olney, IL; and many nephews and nieces. She will also be missed by her vast amount of friends, fans, and patients' families throughout North Shore Health System and the hospice network she served. If you made it this far, she'd like you to know: life is short so tell your people you love them.
