GHOLSON, Pleas - Pleas Gholson, one of Benton county's oldest and most respected citizens, died at the family home in Mason Valley early Monday morning at the age of about seventy-five years. Mr. Gholson has been in ill health for several months and his recovery was not looked for by his immediate relatives. He was laid to rest Tuesday afternoon in Barron cemetery. Owing to the high water and impassable roads, no funeral services could be held. Kerr & Callison, who had the funeral in charge, traveled about sixty miles over different roads before they could get near the Gholson home and were then compelled to get a wagon to haul the casket the last three miles.
