Ed D. Paschall, Kids’ Friend, Succumbs at 82 After Illness
Ed D. Paschall, 82, Uncle Ed to many generations of Mesquite youngsters, died at a Dallas hospital Thursday after an illness of several weeks.
Paschall’s tall, erect figure was a landmark in the Long Creek community where he lived all his life. At various times he had been in the hardware, automobile and real estate business, but his love was farming. He farmed his own land until just a few years before his death.
A devout Methodist, he was for sixty-five years superintendent and teacher of the largest men’s Bible class in Dallas County. Even blindness, which struck when he was in his late seventies, could not keep him away from his classroom. He would have his wife read the lessons to him, be sure he knew it perfectly, and then teach it by rote the next morning. When his wife died some years ago he went to live with a daughter, Mrs. Homer B. Wyatt, 1802 Idaho, who now survives. Even then he kept on with his teaching.
With his love of God and of the soil was his love of youth. He encouraged youngsters to come to him with their problems, and from them he picked up the name, Uncle Ed.
Services will be at 4 pm Friday at the Mesquite Methodist Church. Burial will be in Long Creek Cemetery.
Besides his daughter, survivors include one sister, Mrs. Mattie Mathis, Mesquite; three grandsons and two great-granddaughters.
