    Notes:

    Death Of A Pioneer
    At the Ripe Age of 85 Uncle Presley Pound Passes Away.
    Last Sunday morning at 2 o'clock Uncle Presley Pound, on of Linn county's oldest and most respected citizens, passes peacefully away, surrounded by children and a devoted wife. He had been ill but a few days, yet owing to his extreme age and feebleness, the announcement of his death created little surprise.
    Funeral services were conducted at the family residence Monday morning by elder J.D. Jessee of Browning, in the presence of a large gathering of friends of the departed.
    Presley Pound was born in Jefferson county, Ky., October 22d. 1912. There he grew to manhood, and afterwards moved to Adams county, Ill., where he farmed extensively in the vicinity of Camp Point. In 1854 he came to Linn county and by untiring industry and good business management soon took rank among the leading farmers and stock raisers of this part of the state. Since 1882 he has resided in Linneus, practically retired from farm life, and devoting his attention principally to his various real estate and financial interests.
    Mr. Pound has been twice married - first to Miss Nancy Thomas of Shelby county, Ky., and second to Mrs. Mary M. Taylor of Sullivan county, Mo. By the first union eight children were born, six of whom are living: John M. Pound, J. Scott Pound, Breckenridge Pound, Josephine Cassity, Sarah Hawkins and Martha Matthews. They all reside in Linn county.
    Presley Pound was a plain, honest sincere man. He was one of those men whose word was as good as his bond and in no instance can it be said that his acts belied his utterances. The following incident well illustrates the extent to which his word might be depended on even in trivial matters: It was during the memorable campaign of 1860, when the contest waged hot between Lincoln, Douglass and Jno. C. Breckenridge for the presidency, that Mr. Pound and a friend of different political views made a wager on the out-come of the election. The terms of the contest were that if Lincoln won Mr. Pound was to wear his beard unshaven during the remainder of life. If Breckenridge won the friend was pledge to do the same thing. Lincoln won; and, though the friend afterward agreed to release Mr. Pound from the obligation, he said no. His word had been given and he made his obligation good to the end of life.
    Mr. Pound was a member of the Christian church and had been a life long Democrat.
