PADGETT CHAS. UNK 2 9 1904 UNKNOWN | Death of Tillman Vaughn and Wife=The grim reaper has made quick work in the Vaughn household, and the friends and relatives of the family are appalled at the fatalities which occurred therein in the last ten days.

On Wednesday evening, Feb.17,1904, Tillman Vaughn himself passed away, aged 71 years. He had pneumonia and his advanced years made him an easy prey to the disease. The remains were interred in the Mt.Vernon cemetery.

PARHAM WILLIE LEE UNK 4 23 1900 CITY | Death of Willie Lee Parham-Again we have to perform the sad duty of recording the death of a beloved citizen. On Apr.23,1900, the spirit of Willie Lee Parham winged its flight heavenward to its Maker. His illness and death bed were such as one rarely witnessed. Nearly two years ago he was stricken with that dread disease, consumption, and went to Texas in the hopes of restoring his health, but gradually grew worse, and was obliged to return, and was confined to his bed for nearly a year before his demise. All that love and medical attention could do was done. Kind friends visited him daily, and the devotion of his wife has no parallel-she was never tiring in her attention and love for her life companion. It was of no avail except to comfort, and the end came at last as a sweet relief to his sufferings. Being a consistent member of the Methodist church Mr.Parham learned early in life how to live, consequently he had no fear to meet grim death, and passed away without a struggle. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Tuesday at 3 o'clock, Rev.W.C.Davidson officiating. The edifice was filled with bereaved relatives and sorrowing friends. After the services, the Woodmen of the World took charge of the remains and escorted them to the FORREST CITY, where they were interred under the beautiful ceremony of the order. Willie Lee Parham was born in St.Francis county in 1872, and was barely twenty-eight years of age at his death. He was the youngest son of Capt.John Parham. He was a young man of sterling qualities, a true friend, and generous to a fault. He was married to Miss Lula Mason, daughter of Rev. & Mrs.J.A.Mason Jan.1,1896.-FORREST CITY TIMES 4-27-1900 |

PASLAY W. H. ELDER 12 18 1831 2 11 1911 CITY | 2-10-1911 DEATH=REV.W.H.PASLAY=The Forrest City Times, Feb. 10, 1911. DEATH OF ELDER PASLAY. Venerable Reverend Passes Away Sunday Afternoon After Long Illiness. The death last Sunday afternoon at his home in this city of Elder. W. H. Paslay marks not only the passing of an able, earnest disciple of the Creator, but the one of the old landmarks of St. Francis county and of Forrest City. Another beloved citizen has gone to his reward, The voice of an able churchman is stilled, and in the hearts of countless congregations of those who in years gone by have listened to him as he expounded the gospel, as it was given to him to preach, a feeling of an expressible sadness comes, and in all of our city there was not a heart but quickened with pain and many eyes, but held a tear, when the sad tidings flew, as sad tidings always do, on Sunday afternoon, of the death of that venerable partriarch, who for so many years had faithfully served this people, and though his death was not unexpected, yet none the less were the tidings sad, and . . . less the tears that flowed. Elder W. H. Paslay was born in Laurens county, South Carolina, on December 18, 1831. His father was a Baptist minister and a physician of note. After receiving an academic course in the different branches of studies, he entered Furman University, in Greenville, S. C., and graduated with first honors from that unstitution. After this he moved to Dallas county, Alabama, where he taught school. In 1858 he entered the ministry, in which he has since been actively engaged. Mr. Paslay came to Arkansas in 1872, and located on a farm near Wheatley. He has been married three times, and has now living three sons and three daughters, as follows: Mr. H. W. Paslay, of this city; Messrs. R. E. and Willie Paslay, of Oregon; Mrs. J. T. Johnson and Mrs. Murray Hambleton, of ;this city, and Mrs. C. H. Paslay, of Memphis. Elder Paslay was greatly honored by his denomination, being elected Treasurer and Moderator of Mt. Vernon Association consecutively for the last thirty years. He held the position of County Examiner for several years, and was closely identified with the educational interests of this state and county. He was also a member of the Masonic fraternity, having taken the degrees of the Commandery, and was ever ready to put into practice the honorable tenants of this illustrious fraternity, dispensing light in darkness, joy in sorrow, and sustenance to the needy. Elder Paslay had been in feeble health for a number of years, but only recently would he consent to give up the work he had so long and faithfully performed. He had been confined to his room and bed for over twelve months, and though all that medical skill, and the loving care and attention of a devoted family could do, was done to prolong his life, all efforts wre unavailing, and the gentle spirit passed to the Maker, whose disciple he had been through all the years of his maturity, and ". nls" was written in the story of a life well spent - a life that was not lived in vain. In his daily 2-10-1911 DEATH=PASLAY CONT.-walks he has been called upon to unite scores of loving hearts in the holy bonds of matrimony, and has spoken most comforting words to hundreds of families in this and adjoining counties, when in the Providence of God they have been bereft of loved ones. In the pulpit he was eloquent because earnest, and his supplications at the throne of Grace were the most beautiful we ever heard, and made the heart quicken with their sincerity. The funeral services were held from the Baptist church Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Elder E. J. P. Garrott, officiating. Interment was had in the City Cemetery, to which last resting place the funeral cortege was followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, who went to pay their last respects to Elder Paslay, and to mingle their tears with the members of the bereaved family. The life of a good man needs no epilogue. Any words of commendation we might write of him, would be all unexpressive of the sincere esteem and veneration in which he has hald by our people, and by all those who knew and loved him. Would that we could pen words that would in some degree assuage the pain of the aching hearts of those who are left to mourn. But to them can come the sweet assurance that Elder Paslay was ready and willing to go - that he could, in all sincerity, face the inevitable, with a feeling of perfect peace and contenment, lay aside his earthly cares, and truthfully say, "Master, I am ready." To the bereaved family, we tender our sincerest sympathy in this their sad hour of bereavement. Their sorrow is a common one, for Elder Paslay was a welcome, familiar figure in this county prior to his illness, and the sorrow of his immediate family is shared by everyone who knew him intimately. May he rest in peace!- Brenda Huntley Added: 3/29/2007 |

PATTERSON JOHN CAPTAIN 1811 3 31 1903 UNKNOWN ? | Death of Capt.John Patterson-News reached the city Wednesday, of the death of Capt.John Patterson, the day previous, March 31,1903, at his home near Shell Lake. The Captain was well known throughout the county as a hunter of note, having killed more big game than perhaps any man in the state. His age, how long he has lived in St.Francis county, and from whence he came is unknown. He reared a family in the deep wilds of the bottom country, whose only unhappiness was the encroachment of civilization. He knew the bottom country as if it were laid out in streets, and could go to any point the darkest of nights. His pride were his dogs-a rack of deer and bear hounds, and the constant use of saddle and rifle, made him equal to Buffalo Bill. Genial and accomodating, he was in demand with hunting parties, who will miss him. Fear was a stranger to him. It is related of him that on one occasion he camped for the night, and was attacked by three panthers-a female and two grown cubs. He shot one, and killed the other two with clubbed rifle. His encounters with wild beasts would fill a volume. Yet he was modest in telling them. Notwithstanding the wild life of Capt.Patterson, he had many traits of character which showed that his heart was in the right place, and many friends will regret his demise. Peace to his ashes. Based on the following:Uncle" John Patterson, off the Military road, was a visitor to the city Friday. He is a typical backwoods pioneer, 86 years of age, and has made his home in the swamps since 1858. He is yet as agile as the average young man, an expert horseman, an quick, sure shot, and is a stranger to fear of any wild animal that roams the forest, and is a staunch friend of the levee. 6-4-1897-He was born in 1811, and came to St.Francis county in 1858.
