| 1203 | 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.

| 1205 | 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. The Bulletin, Linneus, Missouri. Wednesday, 8 December 1897. | Pound, Presley (I2270)

| 1232 | Death Was Almost Instant The Brookfield Budget give the following account of the accident at Brookfield Sunday which caused the death of Rollie Bagley, a brief mention of which was made in the Constitution Monday. A very regrettable death was that of Rollie Bagley Sunday afternoon while playing ball at Powell Park. Young Bagley was a member of a ball team from Purdin’s rural districts that was matched up against a baseball nine of young farmers from Yellow Creek township. The fatal accident occurred during the first half of the eighth inning. Bagley was at bat and James Ridgeway of the rival team was pitching when a ball served by the latter hit the unfortunate batter over the heart knocking him to his knees. When he regained his feet he remarked that he was all right, but when he attempted to take a few steps, his companions say, he fell heavily to the ground, death, to all appearances, resulting instantly. His getting hit with the ball is conceded to be largely due to the fact that Bagley was a left-handed striker, and no one more keenly regrets the sad affair than Pitcher Ridgeway. The body was taken to Ruck’s undertaking rooms and prepared for burial and later removed to the home in Purdin. This was the third game for these two rural teams; one game was played at Purdin two weeks ago and a second game at Kersley grove east of New Garden a week ago Sunday. Each team had scored a victory and Sunday’s game stood 9 to 8 in favor of Yello Creek when so unfortunately ended. Rollie Bagley was 22 years old, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Bagley of Purdin. He was an industrious young farmer, and was united in marriage August 1916, with Miss Lillie Ponder of Jamaica, Ill, who with a fifteen-months-old child survive. Other near relatives are: his parents, four brothers and one sister. The wife and two brothers of the deceased attended the game Sunday. The funeral was held at two o’clock Tuesday at the Christian church at Purdin. The Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune, Chillicothe, Missouri. Thursday, 31 July 1919, page 1. | Bagley, Rollie (I161)
