PIONEER PATRIOT PASSES AWAY

One of the grandest old men of South
Florida passed to his reward at his home
at Pine Level at IL o'clock last Saturday
night He was Francis b. Hagan, vet
eran of two wars. man held in highest
esteem throughout DeSoto and Manatee
counties. He had been in bad health for
several months past and, having reached
a good old age, his death was not wholly
unexpected
His funeral sevices which were held in
the church at Pine Level on Monday
morning, were attended by large con-
course of sorrowing friends. many of
whom came from distant points in the
county. Among them were representa-
tive citizens from Arcadia, Wauchula,
Punta Gorda, Fort Ogden and other
places. The services at the church were
conducted by Pastor Albritton. assisted
by superintendent Trice of the orphans
home at Arcadia and Rev. Ed. +. Ley,
pastor of the Arcadia Methodist church.
All these made very impressive remarks
on the life and character of the deceased.
Appropriate and instructive remarks
were also made by Mr., Hyman, an old
settler, and Hon. Henry e, Carlton, both
Hagan during his life.
FRANCIS B. HAGAN was born in A.
lachua county this state. September II,
1927. At the age of 10 he was drummer
boy in the United States army. He serv-
ed as asoidier through the Indian wars
of the 30's and the war between the
states in the CO.'S The few veterans of
those wars, who survive in this section
testify to his loyalty to the causes for
which he fought. He spent ten years
OF his early life In Marion county; was
married in fernando county, whence he
moved to Manatee county In 1861. Sub
sequently, he was elected to the State
senate from Manatee, served one term,
and was afterwards twice elected repre-
sentative of the county. He was treas
urer of Manatee county at the time of
the creation Of DeSoto county. He also
missioner.
He was devoted member of the Bap-
fist church for AZ years and the upright
Christian life which he led has been the
admiration Of all who knew him and
blessed inspiration to them.
Surviving him are four sons and two
daughters, namely: Messrs. Bert and
John Hagan and Charlie Hagan OF Char
lotte Harbor: Jesse Hagan Of Pine Level;
Mrs Dave Mizelle of Platte. and Mrs.
Charlie Keen of Pine Level, all Of whom
stand high in the public estimation. To
these the sympathies Of hundreds Of low
ing and sorrowing friends are extended.

HARRY BIRD

Harry, the bright 9-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs A. M. Bird of Solana, died last
Thursday night. of membraneous Group,
and was buried in Indian Spring cemetery
on Pineapple river Saturday. The little
fellow had been troubled with his throat
for about week, but it was not consid-
cred serious, and his condition did not
become alarming until very, short while
before his death. The sudden change for
the worse seems to have been due to an
unsupported condition OF his tonsiIs. Not
only the fond parents and other relatives,
but all who knew Harry intimately, are
grieved. for he was one of those except
ionally courteous and manly little fell
lows whom every body admires The
bereaved ones have the sincere sympathy
of many friends.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to thank our neighbors and
friends for the many acts OF kindness
shown by them during our late bereave-
ment of our dear son. Harry; also for
the many floral offerings

on the lookout for another that might
credit him with the first catch OF the sea-
son.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Henry

nouncing their destination Punta Gorda
friends tried to dissuade them from COM
ing here. Along the route various in
dividuais made remarks about his plans.

fishing in Peace river. Before lunch
hour Mr.. Scott was back with fine catch
of channel bass and several fine jew fish,
It made pretty bunch of fish and Mr..
Scott has decided Punta Gorda suits him
for the rest of the season and anyone who
duplicates such remarks as were shot at
him before he reached here will get a
sufficient answer.
