When that word was flashed about Sallisaw last Friday morning, there was almost a feeling that one had lost a member of his own family, for the whole city has been watching Bernie's fight against one of the most dreaded diseases - tuberculosis, but he lost his battle at Phoenix, Arizona, Thursday night, Febuary 4, 1925, after a galant battle of several months.
Bernie Loggains was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. M.C. Loggains, a prominent family of this city. He had a vivid career during the twenty seven years that he lived. He possessed an unusual ability to make stead-fast friends and he made them at school, in business life, in the army and on the deserts of Arizona. These friends are mourning with the family the loss of a true redblooded American.
Bernie Loggains was born and reared, in Sallisaw. He was born December 14, 1896. He entered Sallisaw schools where he received his common school and high school education, while in high school he was one of the outstanding athletes - and had the ability to make every branch of sport that the school entered in, but during the later part of his school days the United States government was having trouble with the country south of the Rio Grande river - there came an order out of Washington for the National Guards to accompany the regular army on a mission into Mexico in a pursuit of Villa, a famed Mexican bandit, who had been raiding the bornder towns for many years, Bernie hearing the call volunteered and joined the Missouri National Guards and spent several months doing border duty. He enlisted in April 1916 and was discharged July 1917. He came home and spent a few day with his parents and then entered the aviation corps and participated in the World War. He was sent overseas with the aviation and spent fourteen months on the battle fields of France. Following the Armistice he returned to the states and was discharged at Camp Funston, Kansas.
While in the service young Loggains contracted tuberculosis and he was sent to New Mexico and Arizona for his health and at times he showed steady improvement, but during the past year his condition grew gradually worse until his untimely death last week.
Active Legionnaire
After the war was over and the boys began to come back home, the American Legion had just surviced its first year of existence - the legion was formerly organized in St. Louis, and then Sallisaw applied for a charter. Bernie Loggains was in the caucus that perfected plans for the local legion post and is a charter member. He is the second charter member of the post to pass away.
In September 1921, he was united in marriage to Miss Helen Purcell of Prescott, Arizona, and during their life together one child was born, but later died.
Funeral services were held at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.C. Loggains, on Tueday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. Belcher, pastor of Methodist church officiating, being asisted in the services by Rev. F.W. Havey. One of the largest processions in Sallisaw's history made up a cortege to the City cemetery were Bernie was buried. Many beautiful floral offerings were placed on the grave, which was a silent from many to one whom many loved. The service at the grave was conducted by members of Carnie Welch post of American Legion.
The pallbearers were members of the American Legion and former associates of young Loggains, there were: Bert Cotton, Arch Peters, , Ernest Springgs, Tom Delaney, Earl Byrd, Horace Ivey, B. Green; the color guards were: Don Goff, Oscar Noble and Levi Adair.
Bernie Loggains was a member of the Elk Lodge of Phoenix, Arizona.
