Truly tragedy IN real life
was enacted when a stout, ro-
bust man, apparently in perfect
health, possessing all of his fac
ulties leaves home and within
fifteen minutes is carried back a
corpse.
At the alarm of fire, Mr.. Pc
CUES with others, ran to the
home of w. Il. Topp and there
assisted in extinguishing the fire
in an outhouse, became over
heated and without a moments
warning he sank to the earth.
DIR. Feemster was near him at
the time and did what he could
to revive him but the heart had
ceased to beat and failed to give
forth it's life giving stream.
The sad intelligence was con-
veyed home and Mrs. Pegues
was Frustrated by the great
shock.
Walter Pegues was a native of
Pontotoc county where he was
born 48 years ago. He was the
son of the late Samuel Pegues
who died during the civil war
and Mrs. Permelia Shelton, his
mother having married the Sec
ond time.
He attended the schools of the
community until he was ready
to enter college. He went to
the A. & M. College where he
completed with much credit to
himself. He settled in Tupelo
and was elected County Superin-
tendent of Education in which
position he rendered valuable
service to the people, a service
which was characterized by abiI-
ity and fidelity. He retired vol
unfairly from the office and en-
tered the furniture business,
which was a success from the
beginning.
Mr.. Pegues was happily mar
ried 70 Miss Mary Reed Of Pento.
toe. From this union four chill
dren were born, three of whom
survive. In his home life, Mr..
Pegues was devoted to every in
terest of his family. He was an
indulgent husband and father
and closely guarded those en-
trusted to his keeping.
Mr.. Pegues was a member of
the w. O. w. and for many
years a member Of the Baptist
church here, and no man in the
church took greater intere. t
in its affairs than he. He held
the confidence of his associates
and was chosen by them as one
of the deacons of the congreg :
ton. In his Official capacity he
rendered valuable service to his
pastors and always responded to
every demand made upon him.
AS a business man, he was
held in highest esteem and his
word was his bond. Prompt to
meet every obligation, he was
regarded as one Of our safest
business men. For a number Of
years he has been a Director for
the Bank of Tupelo and rendered
valuable service to his officers
and his council was always found
to be conservative and safe.
AS a citizen, Mr.. Pegues met
his public obligations with due
regard for the interest of his
town, his county and his state.
He was a good citizen, a true
friend and his untimely death
leaves a vacancy that will not be
filled.
The funeral services took place
from the Baptist church at 3::3(
yesterday afternoon, conducted
by the pastor, Mr.. Preston, and
his former pastor, Rev. R. A.
Kimbrough, now of Blue Noun
tain.
A large concourse was presen
to pay the last tribute of respec
to the memory of their departet
friend. Many beautiful flower,
were laid upon his last restin.
