He was unable to rally from the eff
fects of that chill and gradually went
down until sis a. m Friday his spir-
it went out to be with God.
Brother Bevers was a great suff-
erer but seldom if ever murmured.
He often spoke of the fact that he was
expecting the end to come soon. Al
ways reconeiled to the going, some
times he said he would be glad when
the end should come SO that he might
be released from the body by death.
Funeral services were held at the
Baptist Church last Saturday after
noon at 40 o'clock by Pastor w. /.
Elledge. The remains were laid to
rest in Bluff Cemetery. The whole

Judge Bevers passes

News of the death of Judge J. ID.
Bevers, which occurred Friday morn
ing of last week at 5:15 at his home at
this place came as painful surprise
to the citizens of Springdale and com
munity While it was known that he
had been in rather poor health for
some time, the seriousness of his af
fiction was not realized, even by his
most intimate friends and members of
the family until short time before
his death.
The only son of the deceased, A.
w. Bevers, was in Missouri at the
time of his death assisting in revival
meeting, and reached home Saturday
morning.
The following obituary is tribute
from Rev. w l. Elledge, pastor of
the Baptist Church, of this place, of
which the deceased has long been
member:
Brother J. D. Bevers was born on
November II, 1916, near Jacksonville,
Morgan county. Illinois. He made his
home there until he was about ty ,nty
two years old. At the age of sixteen
he enlisted in Co A, 51st Regiment,
Illinois Infantry He served in the
Union army until Nov 30, 1864. Dur
ing the battle of Franklin, Tenn, he
was wounded in his left lower limb,
from the effects of this wound he new
err recovered.
In September 1868 he moved to Ar
kansas and settled in Madison eoun
ty. There he taught the first free
school IN the county. The high es-
TEEN and confidence in which he was
held is shown by the fact that twice
he held the office of county Judge.
January %, 1871 he was married to
Miss Ada Vaughan, who was his de
voted and faithful helpmate to the
last hour of his life She remains and
is with US now To them five chill
dren were born. Two of these, Amy
and Cora have gone; the other three,
Mrs Ada Slaughter, Mrs. Pauline
Kineaid and Albert remain and are
with US. Several grandchildren are
also among the bereaved
! Brother Bevers was converted at
Hindsvile about thirty years ago un-
der the influence of sermon preach
ed from the text BE not deceived
/ IL no q
man soweth that shall he also reap"
He joined the Baptist Church and was
a little later ordained to the work of
the ministry. He was active in that
work about four years. A stroke of
appoplexy together with other physi-
cal weaknesses rendered him unfit to
continue longer in the work.
In 1897 he moved his family to
Springdale and has since that time
made his home here. He hasa large
circle of friends here who join the be
reaved family in sympathy and sor-
row
Brother Bevers has been in poor
j health for some time and has suffered
cutie often from repeated attacks of
gladstone trouble. These became
more frequent as time passed Last
Sunday he attended church twice, and
on that night had another attack from
which he never recovered Thurs
day afternoon he had a rigor which
was often feature of his trouble
