Friday, 31 Jul 1914---A. G. ATKINS DEAD---A. G. Atkins, one of Higbee's oldest and most highly respected citizens, passed peacefully into the Great Beyond at 8:30 Tuesday morning, July 30, 1914, after a brief illness, ages 77 years. Funeral services will be held by Eld J. Hollis Bradley at 2 p.m. today at New Hope, where interment will be made. Augustine Gatewood Atkins was born on December 11, 1837, in Woodford county, Ky, and came with his parents to Missouri when but two years of age, locating at Myers, where he continued to reside until 1904, when he moved to Higbee to spend the remainder of his days at ease. On September 20, 1858, he was married to Ann Dougherty, who, with their three children; Jas D. Atkins, of Sparks, Ok, Mrs. B. F. Andrews and Mrs. John F. Andrews, survive him. He also leaves two brothers, Y. L. Atkins and Thomas Atkins, one sister, Mrs. Nero Thompson, and a half sister, Mrs. Charlotte Pipes, of Salisbury, beside sixteen grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren. He united with the Church of Christ in 1872, in which he still retained membership. Mr. Atkins was a deeply religious man and lived his religion in his daily life. He was also a great student of the bible, as several well thumbed Books testify. He held the veneration and respect of all who knew him, and in his death his family and the community have suffered an irreparable loss. The sympathy of all goes out to the bereaved ones, and especially to his heart broken helpmate, who had been his constant and loving companion for fifty-six years.
