| 1135 | Death loves a shining mark, and has taken from the home, little Vernon Edward, son of William M. and Mary Hazel Hedges. He was born August 2, 1918 near Brookfield, Mo., and departed this life Nov. 17, 1921 at their home in Purdin, age 3 yrs 3 mo and 15 days. He leaves to mourn his departure his father, mother, grandparents and host of relatives and friends. For everyone loved little Vernon. Our hearts are made sad and our sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones; but dear ones remember though your steps are attended with anguish of spirit; it leads to the throne of God; the giver of life and all we have and are. He, alone, can heal the broken hearts. Time ‘its true, will heal the wound; but God gives us the consolation that if we love hem and keep his commandments, we can go to our loved ones when we are called away. A consolation that Christians have. As David said when his little son died, he cannot come to me but I can go to him. What a beautiful thought I can go to him. Some day, some time, we will if we have lived as God would have us live. Go to dwell with the loved ones in our fathers house where sickness, death and sorrow alike are not known. Thank God today for the hope which fills our souls in the darkest hours and that the cares of time are wreathed in the glory of fadeless flowers. Death who is the last enemy to be destroyed has claimed for its own this dear little one. To God who is the gracious giver, we yield the dear ones up; not dead; but to dwell with Him forever. Take thou our dear one to dwell with thee, through ceaseless ages to come. A precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home, which never can be filled. Funeral services were conducted by the writer after which the remains were consigned to mother earth in the Purdin cemetery to await the coming of our Lord. C.E. Potter.

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. The Bulletin, Linneus, Missouri. Wednesday, 8 December 1897. | Pound, Presley (I2270)
