Notes - Funeral Services Held In Purdin, August 9th
Charlie Pulliam, youngest son of Anna Cassity Pulliam and Thomas Pulliam, was born September 21, 1879, on a farmnear Purdin, Missouri, into a family of two brothers and four sisters, and departed this life August 7, 1957, at 11:00 p.m., on the farm where he had since he was two years of age.
He attended the Brown and Pierce schools and grew to manhood in the same community. On February 20, 1916, he was united in marriage with Nora Gertrude Buswell. To this union was born two children, Mildred Irene and Charles Edward.
He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and three sisters. He is survived by his wife, the daughter, Mrs. Chester Smithers of Chillicothe, Mo., the son, Charles E. Pulliam of Purdin, Mo, three grandchildren, Norlene and Charlene Smithers and Charles Duane Pulliam, and a sister, Mrs. Minnie Bivens, of Denver, Colorado, the oldest and only living member of the Thomas Pulliam family.
Charlie numbered among his friends the entire community of Purdin and surrounding territory. He especially enjoyed fishing with some of the old timers of the community, having been unable to pursue his farm duties for several years due to a lingering illness. He was seriously ill for two weeks and two days before he passed on to his reward. He enjoyed having his friends drop in any time, and was noted for his musical ability to entertain with his banjo.
He always said, "Our latch string is always on the outside," and his many friends and neighbors enjoyed this courtesy.
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m., Friday afternoon, August 9, 1957, at the Methodist Church in Purdin, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. E.L. Huchel. Song service was by Mrs. Rose Johnson and Miss Rose Chambers, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Helen Matkins. Honorary bearers were John Baskett, Harrison Blackburn, Athes Creason and Walter McIntyre. The bearers were Harold Buswell, John Tipton, Ray Pulliam, Jess Pulliam, Clifford Buswell and Elmer Shadow.
