"...It was just when school was beginning in August that our Father had his fatal stroke. He was well as usual when we went to bed but became ill after midnight, about 3:00AM. He died about 5:00AM on August 7, 1917. He was buried in the family graveyard about 10:30AM on August 8, 1917. Funeral was at graveside and short since it was a miserably rainy day. He belonged to the Odd-Fellows lodge in Clinton and several members attended. Aunt Mary Bean and Louise Duncum came from Woodlawn Pike; they came on the morning train to Edgemoor. Louise had graduated in April from Young High School. I have no record of this, but I think Uncle Colonel and his family were in the process or moving from Woodlawn Pike to Madisonville, Tennessee and he had sold his house on Woodlawn and also sold to Uncle Will his part of the farm in Raccoon Valley. None of Uncle Colonel's family came to Papa's funeral.
It was the saddest event of our lives up to that time, but life must go on and ours did..."
