CYRUS Walker Jackson

One of the most interesting ca
.roers was that of the subject of
this sketch because it was pro-
ductive of much real good to his
fellowmen.
G. w. Jackson was born in
March 80, 1929. He was brought
to Missouri by his parents, Alb
ner j. and Polly Jackson, who
located in Clinton county. There
were fourteen children to this
union.
When only seventeen years OK
age Mr.. Jackson enlisted for
service in the Mexican war, in
Col. Doniphan's regiment, which
had a few volunteers from Gin
ton county. He was with this
regiment for fourteen months
and then with his company re-
turned to Missouri. In the year
1848 he re-enlisted Under Cen
eral Price and from spring to
fall of that year saw sore hard
fighting and travelled over the
old Santa Fe Trail many a time.
Soon after this he came to La
fayette county and became an
overseer for a brother of Gen.
Joe Shelby. He worked for him
and others for a period of sew
eral years operating their farms
and looking after the slaves.
Mr.. Jackson crossed the plains
in 1850 to California in the days
of the gold excitement, making
the trip with an OK team END
taking ga days to make the trip.

ways consistent.
Rufus Young was an intelli-
gent Christian churchman-nOt
that he was an exclusive sec
tarian-but in the sense that he
was a devout, devoted and ac-
tive member Of the church.
He was SO genuine a gentle
man, so hearty, simple, natural,
sincere, friendly, that it was a
never-failing delight to meet
him.
There was no better man
than Rufus Young. In every
relation of life, as husband,
father, neighbor, friend, citizen,
he was all that was honorable
and h%igh-minded In short, an
humble Christian gentleman of
teh old school, unfinching in
tegrity distinguishing him
through life.
AS he lived so he died, and
went to the judgment of Him
who said:
Therefore, whatsoever heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth
them, l will liken him unto the
wise man, who built his house
upon the rock; and the rain de-
scended, and the floods came,
and the wind blew, and beat
upon that house; and it fell not;
for it was founded upon a rock"
A faithful citizen, an honest
man and a Jealous christian, his
earthly pilgrimage over, he
rests in peace.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK BOWMAN,
Committee.

1t is with feelings of sympathy
and respect that we record the
death of Rufus Young, who died
at his country home near Lex

having come here with his par
ents, Major Arthur G. and Eliza
beth Young, from Tennessee,

was born in Hawkins county.
Tenn, July 2, 1925. In 1880 the
family moved to Missouri, set.
ting in Lafayette county in
1888, and since that time the
Young family has been one OF
the most prominent and highly
respected families in this cOun.
ty. On February II, 1916
kutuS Young was married tC
Miss Parmelia A. Landlord, alsC
a member of one of our honor
able families. To this union sil

WELLINGTON WAS HOST
TO OLD MEMS CLUB
Delightful Entertainment Ac-
corded Lafayette Patriarchs
Last Saturday.

Never since it's organization
has the Old Mems Club been
more Hospitality, elegantly and
bounteously entertained than at
the meeting held in Wellington
on Saturday, September &c,
1914. Everything had been pro-
vided for and looked after, and
we congratulate the committee
having charge of the details.
First, those coming by train
were met at the depot with
automobiles and given a drive
in and about Wellington. Then
the welcome address of DR.. John
A. Mann was par excellent, be-
ing hearty, to the point and was
most pleasing to the member
ship.
Then the dinner-a feast
was served in the city park, ev-
cry person being seated, while
during the dinner a band had
been provided to discourse the
choicest music, adding greatly
to the pleasure of one and all.
The entertainment accorded was
phenomenal, nothing had been
overlooked. The dinner was
spread in the park on tables,
lovely in their white drapery,
under the shade of the trees.
Everything that fancy could
suggest in the way Of eatables
were served with a graceful and
lavish hospitality by the lowell
est of lovely matrons and maids.
No one was overlooked, every
one being made to feel at home.
No more delicious feast has ever
been served at any meeting OF
the club than on this occasion.
This was Wellington's first en-
tertainment of the club, and SC

Mr.. Jackson was a quiet un.
assuming man. He was always
a champion of the right, and 9
generous, honorable citizen. HI
never craved exaltation anC
plaudits of men, but was content
to take his station in life, as al
honorable citizen, to labor 70,

munity. He was sacrificing 70.

William G. Wagner.

Shakespeare has said: "The
evil that men do lives after
them, the good is often inferred
with their Lones." This may
be partly true, but we can not
accept it entirely as being a
fact. We believe that the good
life of a good man will ever have
its influence upon gene ations to
come. In a little humble home
nesting among the hills of old
Kentucky on April %, 1928, was
born the subject of our sketch
William G.. Wagner. He
lived in his native state until he
was Fl years of age, at which
time he was married to Miss
Elizabeth Cole, and they moved
to Missouri, and cast their lot in
the southern part of Lafayette
county in the edge of the timber.
Here on his farm he toiled and
labored for many years. He
and his wife were parents of
four sons and three daughters.
His wife died thirty-fve years
ago, and one daughter also went
to the better world before him.
The remaining six children, and
a host of grandchildren and
great grandchildren live to
mourn the loss of this dear old
father and grandfather. Sixty
five years ago Uncle Bill" as
he was known to his friends and
neighbors, placed his church
membership with the McKen-
dree Chapel class, and at differ
ent times he filled the office of
class leader, trustee, steward
and Sunday school superintend-
ent. He was faithful to all of
his obligations in church life.
His home was indeed a christian
home. The voice of prayer and
song went up daily from his fam
lily altar. Preachers of his own
and other churches were always
welcomed and gladly entertained
at his home. Many a tired. foot
sore weary itinerant preacher
has found comfort under his
hospitable roof. He loved his
Maker, his church and his
%fellow-men. He was mild tenn
! pered with even disposition, anC
never allowed himself to become
over excited about anything
He was patriotic, he loved his
country. He was a democrat in
politics, but never closed his
eyes and ears to what he
thought was wrong IN mis- party.
He did not believe in sacrificing
principle for party gain. He
was a good careful reader, and
always kept we'll posted on the
events of the day, both in church
and state. He went away in
peace to be with God and his
loved ones who have gone or
before on April 9Th, 1914. HI
was buried at old McKendre
Chapel in a piece of ground that
he had given to the church fol
cemetery purposes. Thus was
closed the life of a splendid
christian gentlemen. His in.
fuence for good will never die.
