President Old Settler's Association, Sup't of M.E. Sunday School-- A Good and Useful Citizen
------------------------------
The community was shocked Saturday to learn that A.L. Jarnagin had died at 5 o'clock that morning.
Mr. Jarnagin was President of the Old Settler's Association, Superintendent of the Sunday School, a devoted God-fearing worker in church and in the community; a man who showed his religion in standing for everything that was right, and against everything that was wrong. He was not only one of our most useful citizens, who devoted his time to order "to do good." His death is a great loss to our community and the mourning relatives have the sympathy of all in their sorrow. A few days before he had submitted to an operation for a tumorous growth resulting in complications which proved disastrous to his system. While his condition was reported serious the town was not prepared for the sad news of his death.
Aplheus Lewis Jarnagin was born in Warren County, Illinois, Sept 6, 1859. He came with his parents to Iowa in 1865 and settled on a farm in Marion County two miles southeast of Monre. He attended the rural schools and performed the duties of an industrious farm lad until he reached manhood's estate. Then he went to farming on his own account. For a number of years he was engaged in this occupation and later removed to Monroe where he spent the less active years of his life. On February 28, 1884 he was married to Addie E. Bateman of Monroe. To this union were born two children, Grace Jarnagin Nolin and Lloyd, all of these together with three grandchildren survive him.
In February 1884 during a revival meeting, conducted by the pastor. Rev. B.F. Durfee he was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church of Monroe where he held his church membership excepting six years when he worshiped at Tool's Chapel. During all these years, he was either class leader, Sun. S. teacher or Sunday School Superintendent. He gave liberally of his time and his means to the furtherance of the interest of the Kingdom. He took a deep interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of the community. He was an enthusiastic defender of the right and abhorred byperisty and sham. He was a friend of the poor and needy and no deserving person was ever turned away empty from his door. He exemplified in his everyday life the best phases of American citizenship. Kind, considerate and just he filled a large place in this community which has known him so long. His sad death has touched the hearts of all classes of people.
The deceased was for fourteen years a member of the school board while residing in the country. He was at the time of his death serving his second term as president of the Old Settler's Association in which he always took a deep personal interest. He was superintendent of the Sundy School of this church and only a week ago was in his accustomed place.
The deceased was the son of Issac Wesley and matlda Jarnagin both of who are buried in the cemetery at this place. Besides his family he leaves to mourn, two brothers, George A. of Ilo, Idaho; and Joseph W., Ceder Falls, Iowa; and three sisters, Mrs. A.N. Woody of Medford, Oregon; Mrs. James Downing of Colfax, Iowa; and Mrs. Perston Offill of College View, Nebraska. One brother, John Hampton preceded him that better land three years ago.
The funeral was from the M.E. Church Monday afternoon, Rev. O.E. Douglass preaching the sermon.
*********************
At a postmortem held shortly after the death of the late A.L. Jarnagin last week. It developed that the cause of the demise was not the anesthetic administered at the time of the operation or to the after effects but was rather dueto omental hernia this later condition was much more serious than was anticipated when the operation was performed.
