DEATH FOLLOWS FALL FROM WAGON

Some ten days ago Mr. William M. BARGER, living near town, was thrown from his
wagon when his team ran away. At first it did not appear that he was
dangerously injured, but he steadily grew worse until death resulted last
Saturday night.

Burial was in the Fairfield Cemetery Sunday afternoon following services by
Eld. MCKISSICK. Deceased is survived by his wife. He has been a resident of
this section for many years and was always esteemed as a quite, reliable
citizen.

IN MEMORY OF W. M. BARGER
Only Apr. 10, our beloved uncle said goodbye to those near and dear to him and
lay back on his pillow and closed his eyes in death. Uncle Will was born in
Tennessee Apr. 5, 1865. On Dec. 15, 1893 he was happily married to Miss Willie
HORTON.

The writer visited in their home oh so many times and never a cross word was
spoken between them. Oh it was so hard for the loves to give him up; he was
such a good man. Don't suppose he had an enemy. Was always ready to do anything
on earth to please his loving companion. Oh how she will miss him, but rest
assured dear Auntie that some sweet day you will meet him where sad parting
comes no more. He was so ready and willing to go, we know he is in heaven. 

He was a member of the Ward Prairie Church for many years. All that medical
skill and loving care prolonged his life but could not save him. Sunday
afternoon saw him buried among the kindly trees in the Fairfield Cemetery near
his home at Fairfield. There hundreds had symbols to pay him their last
respect.
Eld. H. L. MCKISSICK conducted the services. Pallbearers were Fred and
Rob HORTON, Mitchell, Edgar and Emmitt BARGER, and Lester BEN. He leaves to
mourn his loss, a wife, one brother and other relatives.
May God's riches blessings be with them all.

One who loved him.
