Prominent lawyer Elmer Dean Langford dies

Mary Jo DentonHerald-Citizen Staff

COOKEVILLE -- Elmer Dean Langford, who practiced law in the Upper Cumberland for 50 years, oftenserving pro-bono, and who took an active role in church and community work, died yesterday. He was 73.

Langford suffered a heart attack at his home and died at Cookeville RegionalHospital, friends said. The funeral will be held Saturday, Feb. 23, at 11 a.m. atFirst Baptist Church of Cookeville. Visitation is Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. at

Hooper, Huddleston & Horner Funeral Home and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the church.

Langford was the "middle" of the Langford and Langford law firm, his father, the late Elmer AndrewLangford, being his partner in his early years of practice and his son, John E. Langford, being his currentpartner in the firm.

Langford was a 1952 graduate of Central High School, a 1956 graduate of Tennessee Tech, and a 1958graduate of Stetson College of Law. He married Marilyn Joy Davis in 1961, and together they brought upthree sons and two daughters.

It was 1958 when Langford began practicing law here with his father, and both enjoyed the task of problemsolving for their clients, many of whom became lifelong friends. Later, he practiced with the late DickMitchell, and in more recent years with his son, John.

Langford was always a member of the informal "Round Table" lunch club which met at various restaurantsover the years and which featured lively talk of current events and politics, always seasoned with humor.

Many at the round table were longtime Democrats, but occasionally a Republican (such as SterlingMcCanless) would join the group and always received a warm welcome along with a little partisan ribbing.

Langford and his father were active in the First Baptist Church, where the elder Langford taught the Men'sRadio Bible Class for over 50 years, with help from his son for about 20 of those years. Elmer DeanLangford also served as a deacon and a church trustee.

His other public service included more than 20 years on the Cookeville City Zoning Board of Appeals, aposition which could often require considerable courage to make difficult decisions.

Like his father before him, Langford was known for his courtly manners and gentle spirit.

He had many friends and will be greatly missed.

Judge Lansden’s death was due to complications arising from Bright’s disease, from while he had been asuffer for several years.

IN MEMORY OF C. P. LEWIS:

A very dear friend has gone and left us with more interest in heaven than ever before.

His wife preceeded him in death 33 years and he was married the second time to Tina Davis, June 5, 1901.One child was born to them, Henry Lewis, who still lives with his mother at the home place nearCookeville. Bro. Lewis leaves a wife and five children and a host of friends to mourn their loss.

Best of all Bro. Lewis professed Jesus Christ as his saviour in the year 1898 and lived a good warmChristian life to the end. Oh, he loved to read the Bible and talk with ministers and Christian friends sowell. He regretted to go and leave his two boys in sin, unprepared to meet him in heaven. He left a requestand expressed a great desire for his boys to be Christians. I continue to pray for them and ask all Christianfriends to join with me that they both may speedily come to the Lord.

(Pictured: Crawford Petway Lewis and his wife Laura (Quarles) Leiws)

Her dying testimony was as follows: She called her husband to herbedside and had a talk with him. She also had her children brought to herbedside, telling them to be good to each other. Turning she said: "Papa, Iwant you to turn a new leaf in life and be better and meet me in heaven."She said that she would know her friends in heaven. Looking at hermother she said: "I don't know what to say to you." Then her papa askedif she was suffering any pain. She said that she was not. Then her papaasked her if she was afraid to die. She said that she was young and wouldlike to live to rear her children but was not afraid to die. "I don't think Iwill die until morning, though I may and would not give much for so

short a time. She says that she supposed that they though that she was very hard-hearted as she could notshed a tear. She spoke calmly of death, not fearing to die--repeating that declaration several times. Afterthis she thanked her many friends and neighbors kindly for being so good to her in her sickness. Then shecommenced to sing that lovely song: "There is a land that is fairer than day." In her last moments she placeher arms around her papa's neck and hugged him, and gently passed away her soul, going to God who gaveit. Mrs. Laura Lewis was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Quarles of this place. She was an only child.She was kindhearted, pleasant and social, making friends wherever she went. She had not an enemy onearth, loving and dutiful, never giving her parents any trouble. A Short Tribute by Her Teacher. -- LauraLewis was ten years old when the writer came to Cookeville. She entered my school and continued astudent of mine for six years. Laura was a great favorite with her teachers. She was a gentle, kind, livingand dutiful student, always doing her school work well. Laura was a pretty girl and grew into lovelywomanhood, possessing rare charms of person and great modesty of demeanor. It is said that "Whom theGods love die young," and "Death loves a shining mark."

TO THE CITIZENS OF COOKEVILLE TENNESSEE: COOPER LOFTIS

I am a candidate for City Commissioner of Finance and Taxation. I am the first candidate to advocate aCity Council for Cookeville. I favor this because it is democratic. I propose to have an accurate surveymade by the Engineering Department of Tennessee Polytechnic Institure of Cookeville, Tennessee, andhave them divide the town into five or six councilmanic wards, and let the people living within the confinesof each of these wards vote for and elect their own member of the City Council. I advocate the passage andenactment into law at the coming session of the legislature a law that will give to Cookeville a

councilmanic form of government to be approved by the citizens of Cookeville in mass meeting held forthat purpose.

This is the only issue in this campaign. Any other issue sought to be injected will be done for the purposeof confusing and misleading the citizens of Cooekville. I am not a candidate of any special group, nor ahsanyone had me behind closed doors directing my campaign. Is there any place in Cookeville, Tennessee,for a group of power-drunk would-be dictators, whose only desire is to crucity the rights of its citizens andraid the treasury of the taxpapers? A vot for me means the sudden death of this sort of thing.

I have lived in Cookeville since 1906. What I have is here and I am expecting to spend the remainder ofmy days here. My record is an open book. I have made mistakes but it has always been my purpose to bepublic spirited and patriotic.

I volunteered in World War I and served 505 days overseas. I gave my only son and child that I had toWorld War II. He desired to do his best and did not want anyone to go in his stead. He was not a slacker,and gave his life in order that dictatorships might be erased from the face of the earth.

My opponent can answer for himself as to his patriotism and public service.

Do not be deceived in this campaign. Decide for yourselves whether or not you prefer a city council of thepeople A vote for me means just that thing. I stand for a better Cookeville, a Cookeville that will welcomeindustry and thrift; a Cookeville that will equalize taxers to all; a Cookeville that will always be ruled by amajority vote on all questions of public importance, including the location of a hospital and the expenditureof public funds; a Cookeville in which we can bring up our families in a moral and decent atmosphere.Your vote and influence will be deeply appreciated by me.

Mrs. Mackie passed away Monday evening, April 3, 2017, at her residence.

She was born Oct. 21, 1916, in White County, to the late William Stipes (Jake) and Eliza Hampton Ray.

She was the second daughter and the seventh of 11 children.

Mrs. Mackie’s mother died when she was 14 leaving behind Ruby and four younger siblings, with theyoungest being 20 months old. Mrs. Mackie was left with the daunting task of caring for herself and hersiblings in rural White County during the Depression without electricity or inside plumbing. She accepted

the responsibility with a positive ou tlook, always doing what wasnecessary, never complaining about the tough road she was to walk. Thispositive acceptance continued throughout her life with any challenge shewas faced with.

Mrs. Mackie’s first job outside her home was at the Sparta Shirt Factoryin her early 20s. She relished in the fact that she was earning money.Living her teenage years during the Depression, she was dedicated tosaving her money and spending prudently, another trait that remainedwith her throughout her life.

Mrs. Mackie met her husband Elbert Lee walking between home and church in the early 40s. They weremarried on April 4, 1942. This was right in the middle of WWII. When Elbert joined the Army, Mrs.Mackie followed him to his first assignments in Michigan. After Mr. Mackie’s deployment to Europe, shereturned to Michigan where she worked at the Willow Run plant in Ypsilanti, Mich., riveting a bracket onthe door of the B-24 Liberator bombers used during WWII. She fell into the category of those womenreferred to as “Rosie the Riveter.” She was heard to say this was the best job (meaning lucrative) she everhad.

Following WWII, she began her life’s work as wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister andaunt. She was fiercely protective and loyal to her family. As her siblings died, she continued to make suretheir children were okay. When it came to her immediate family she was a constant source of love andproviding for their needs.

Mrs. Mackie was an avid and successful gardener planting by the signs of the moon. Not only did she andher husband maintain a very productive garden but she preserved the produce of the garden throughout thesummer months via canning and freezing food for the winter. Mrs. Mackie’s faith in God was obvious inall her actions. She was a “child of God” and instilled in her children this same faith filled heart.Continuing into her last days she sang gospel songs and read her Bible or asked it to be read to her. Mrs.Mackie’s faith in God was the backbone of her life. She could be heard singing gospel songs as she happilywent about her daily work both as a child at her home and as an adult in her and Mr. Mackie’s home.Seeing that her children were raised in church was a priority.

She was a member of Eastwood Baptist Church. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death byher husband, Elbert Lee Mackie; seven brothers and six sisters-in-law, Casto and Jenny Ray, Dan and SulaRay, Will and Rowena Ray, Hill and Tommie Ray, Dempsey and Rosamond Ray, Erbie and Nell Ray, andBethel Ray; and three sisters and brothers-in-law, Almira and Luther Graham, Bonnie and Doyle Nash,Mildred and Beryl Malone.

She is survived by two daughters and son-in-law, Gail Smith of Cookeville, Karen Stamey and Eddie Jonesof Sparta; two sons and daughters-in-law, Richard and Linda Mackie of Sparta, Ray and Beverly Mackie ofCookeville; seven grandchildren, Chris Stamey of Florida, Candy Stamey Pearson of Nolansville, and Brett(Casey) Mackie of Johnson City, Tyler (Jessica) Mackie of Johnson City, Megan (Nathan) Mathis ofMeridianville, Ala.; Chad (Katey) Mackie of Cookeville, and Felicia Mackie of Sparta; sister-in-law,Bonnie Ray of Antioch; and 12 great-grandchildren.

Buisness Tycoon. Born James Howard Marshall, he is best remembered for his 1994marriage to Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith. He was 89 and wheelchair-bound, she was 26. At the time of his death he left no provisio n for Smith in hiswill, and his estate became the center of a nasty, highly-publicized legal battlebetween Smith and his son E. Pierce Marshall. He was a Yale Law School grauate,but became interested in the oil industry after studying laws designed to regulate thepractice of controlled production of oil and gas fields. He was recruited to work for

the Secretary of Interior in Washington. Marshall co-founded Great Northern Oil in 1952, later to becomeKoch Refining, and he founded Marshall Petroleum in 1984, a move that made him a successfulindependent oil man.

Model, Actress. Born Vickie Lynn Hogan, she first gained popularity as Playboy magazine's 1993Playmate of the Year. Her highly publicized marriage to oil business executive and billionaire J. HowardMarshall, who was 63 years her senior, resulted in tumultuous speculation that she married theoctogenarian merely for his money, which she denied. Following his death, she began a lengthy andongoing legal battle over a share of his estate. Smith's career and public image subsequently suffered as herweight gain and antics were reported in supermarket tabloids and in her reality television series, The AnnaNicole Show (2002-2004). Her son, Daniel Wayne Smith, passed away five months previous to Anna. (biocourtesy of: Wikipedia)

COOKEVILLE — On Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, David Mathis of Cookeville passed away. David wasborn to Bedford and Jewel Mathis at the family home in Rome, Tenn., on Sept. 20, 1939. He was baptizedat the age of 10 in Mills Creek, off Hwy. 70, along with his older brothers, John, Noble and Ray, byBrother Malcolm Rodgers.

Dave was highly respected and loved by his family and many friends for numerous reasons; his strong will,his ability to make his own way, his honesty, his straightforwardness and a way of bringing out the best inothers.

The love of fast cars and driving developed into his becoming a professional drag racer. His ability to workwith his hands entered him into the building trade, building homes and buildings, which are still standing

today. An extremely talented man, “Mathis,” as he was known by many, achieved many personal goalswhich he had set for himself. A true entrepreneur and successful businessman, a carpenter of mastercraftsman status, an artist in automotive design and mechanics, a talented athlete in professional autoracing, a family provider, a stern teacher and, most of all, a loving husband to Patricia of more than 50years.

If David did it, it was done right. He was a man’s man, a working man, a staunch believer of making hisown way through life. He lived his life as he believed he should. “I can do anything I set my mind to” hewould say, and proved that to others on many occasions. His life’s creed, “If it harms none, do what youwill.”

He instilled these qualities in those who were lucky enough to learn from his examples and from histeachings. His guidance, skills and fairness will be missed.

David’s confidence, determination and, most of all, the immense love for his family and friends will beremembered.

David Mathis lived a full life and leaves behind a legacy any man would be proud of. He is survived by hisbrothers, John, Noble and Ray; a sister, Vivian; his wife, Patricia; his children, Debbie, Richard andKenneth; his grandchildren, Matthew (whom he adopted); Amanda, Nicholas, Chance and Amy; and hisgreat-grandchildren, Draco, Elyjha, Somara, Jonathan and Ava.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bedford and Jewel; his sister, Marjanna; two sons, Larry andDavid; and a grandson, Derek.

MAXWELL-FARLEYBy Quimby DyerPutnam County Herald, Cookeville, TN: Thursday, 22 March 1923

The Upper Cumberland counties are counties that any boy should be proud to live in. The pure mountainatmosphere, the beautiful hills and valleys, the sparkling streams, and the charm of the trees, the flowers,the birds, create geniuses in many line, business and professional. The greatest fighter of the World war,Alvin C. York, lives in Fentress county. The governor Tennessee from 1919-21, A. H. Roberts, receivedhis inspiration as a lawyer, thinker and speaker in the hills of Overton county. The national chairman of thedemocratic party, Cordell Hull, was born and reared on the banks of the Cumberland, in Clay county, in therich bottoms of Jackson county, the president of the United States found John J. Gore, now federal judgefor Middle Tennessee.

Putnam county has the honor of producing two of the great business men of Tennessee, Gillem Maxwelland R. L. Farley. Both were born in Putnam county and have lived here practically all of their lives. Thesegentlemen formed a partnership in 1909 to engage in the timber business. From that time up to the presenttheir business has developed wonderfully. The spoke industry of Tennessee is under their control. The eggcase industry of the South is also under their management. They own and operate many saw mills inTennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi and are the owners of many thousands of acres of fine timber land ineach of these states. Their products are sold in practically every state in the Union, Canada, South Americaand in many European countries in far-off China and Japan.

Mr. Maxwell is a man that is not afraid to do things. This was shown in 1920 when Cookeville wassuffering for the want of business houses. No one would build on account of the inflated prices of laborand material then prevailing. Mr. Maxwell said, "The town must have the buildings. I will build themmyself." And he did. One building after another was erected, all modern and up-to-date. Today he isdecidedly the largest owner of business property in Cookeville.

A citizen of the first rank, public-spirited and open-hearted; always ready with his time and money to helpnot only his town but anyone in distress; a pleasant gentleman to be with and an all-round, first class man.He is president of the Gainesboro Telephone Co.; director in several banks and many other businessenterprises; a member of the City School Board and mayor of Cookeville for two terms, from 1917-21.

Mr. Farley has as much serve as his partner and is not afraid to back his judgment with his money. He wascashier of the Bank of Cookeville for many years, and through him more than any other man, this Uppercountry owes its gratitude. Seeing the possibilities of the timber industry he financed every legitimateenterprise to the limit. We today are gathering the fruits of these many industries finances in the beginningby him. Putnam county, on account of these activities, is one of the most progressive counties in the statetoday. Mr. Farley always greets you with a smile and pleasant word. A gentleman of the highest type;ready at all times to help Cookeville with his time and means. He is vice-president of the GainesboroTelephone Co.; member of the City School Board and has been for many years; also a director in severalbanks and corporations.

Cookeville and Putnam county should be and are proud of these two big public-spirited business men.

Note: Alvin Gillem Maxwell began his business life as a commercial traveler and there was no better onthe road. Entering business for himself, he made a success of every enterprise he attempted. Today heowns more real estate than any other individual in Cookeville, TN. He and Robert L. Farley own acontrolling interest in numerous spoke mills, veneering mills, flour mills, etc. Alvin G. Maxwell is aDemocrat and a member of the Church of Christ. Was a Colonel on the staff of Gov. Roberts. One of themost progressive and public spirited citizens of Putnam County, TN.

The friends of Mrs. Herbert May, nee Miss Mignon Brown, of Washington, D. C., who remember her asone of the most charming and beautiful girls that Cookeville has ever entertained, were shocked to lear ofher death from an operation in Washington, Friday evening, Jan. 28.

Mrs. May was the wife of Captain Herbert May of the U. S. Army, who is now stationed at Birmingham,AL, and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Josh Brown, formerly well known Cookeville residents, who nowlive in Washington. She was the niece of Mrs. Mary A. Staley and Mrs. Tina Yeargan, and had been awelcome visitor to Cookeville since her parents had left here in her early girlhood. Her sister, Miss DaisieBrown died many years ago, and she leaves beside her parents, husband and relatives, an only brother,Bailey Brown of Washington, to mourn her.

Capt. May had recently accepted as appointment in the army that would take him to the Hawaiian Islands,and Mrs. May was very enthusiastic over the prospect of work in new fields. She went to the hospital, as itwas thought, for a very simple operation, but which proved to be a very serious one, and of such lenghththat she could not rally from the operation which was performed Thursday, passing away on Fridayevening.

Her body was brought to Cookeville for the burial beside that of her sister and other relatives and a simplebut beautiful service was held at the Methodist church on Wednesday afternoon with Rev. A. P. Walkerofficiating. The honorary pallbearers were: Drs. J. F. Dyer, J. B. S. Martin, and H. C. Martin, John B.Dow, Jere Whitson, A. Alggod, H. Algood, and J. W. Richardson. The active pallbearers were, John J.Gore, Herbert Shanks, W. M. Shanks, C. N. Gracey, E. H. Boyd, Quimby Dyer, T. D. Ford, and Dr. C. P.Martin.

“Jesus Lover of My Soul,” “Rock of Ages,” and “Abide With me,” were beautifully rendered by the choirand organ, with Mr. Richmond at the organ. Exquisite flowers were the testimonial from friends of theloving rememberance in which Mrs. May – Minnie Brown-was held by her friends in Cookeville and othertowns, and the deepest sympathy of the entire community is extended to her bereaved husband, father,mother, and brother in this great sorrow, and especially to her husband, who will very soon go upon thejourney they had planned together – alone.

FAMILY FED UP WITH GRAVEYARD THEFTS


A message for the thief who is plaguing two certain graves in Cookeville City Cemetery: you are about tobe caught.

Why?

Because the family of those buried in the two graves you have continually victimized has arranged to keepa watch on those final resting places.

A Cookeville Police detective is also now investigating the cases you have generated.

It may be hard to believe, but some thieves stoop that low, and one Cookeville family says they have hadenough and plan to do something about it.

Some thief has been stealing flowers, ornaments, and whatever else he or she could find off the graves ofHouston and Stella McBroom.

And the graves are not in an isolated spot in the large cemetery; they are located right near Scott Street.

But in spite of the fact that anyone passing by might see what's happening there, the thefts have beenoccurring frequently for over a year now, family members say.

The McBrooms were the parents of Jeanette Smith of Cookeville, and she and her sisters say they are sickand tired of the thief who is always preying on their parents' graves.

"Last year, we put in a $600 solar light at their graves, and it was there only about four nights beforesomeone stole it," Smith said.

This year just before Mother's Day, she placed a $54 flower arrangement on her mother's grave.

She had it specially made, and it contained burgundy and pink roses with dewdrops on them.

By Monday morning, it was gone.

Another daughter, infuriated by all the thefts from her parents' graves, placed a small Teddy Bear figurinethere last week -- after writing on the bottom of it "Stolen from the grave of Stella McBroom."

Sure enough, the thief took that too.

The solar light stolen last year was clear crystal and was in the shape of a diamond. Inside it was the figureof an angel.

The light was attached to granite, and the whole thing was cemented down, Smith said.

"But they took a crowbar or something and got it loose," she said.

"And this has been going on for over a year now. They have stolen flowers, the light, figurines -- whateverwe put out there. I think it is a shame and a disgrace that you can't even decorate your parents' gravesbecause of a low-life thief of this kind."

This past Easter, the thief took the flowers the family members had placed on the McBrooms' graves.

And when the Mother's Day flowers were stolen earlier this week, the thief also took the time to rip open aMother's Day greeting card one daughter had placed with the flower arrangement.

Smith has reported the thefts to the cemetery caretaker and to the Cookeville Police Dept., and the familyhas also arranged to have the graves watched.

"It's not the monetary loss that makes us so mad," Smith said. "It's just the idea that somebody would dothis. I want everybody to know what's going on there."

She said Detective Sgt. David Gragg is investigating the cases.

Seldom in the history of this community have over people been so shocked by thesudden death of a highly esteemed resident as they were on Friday evening whenMrs. Minnie Avery McClain, wife of Dr. Walter S. McClain suffered a suddenfatal heart attack at their home.

The last day of her life was an especially busy one. In the afternoon she hadattended a meeting of the Dry Valley Women’s Club, and she suffered the heartattack shortly after returning to her home.

Aside from her connection with organized relief and charitable work, and federal social service activities,Mrs. McClain’s individual and personal assistance to and interest in the poor, friendless, destitute andunderprivileged will ever stand as a monument to her memory in this community.

A public service which, for many years, had enlisted her best efforts and enthusiastic leadership in ruralWomen’s Club Work in Putnam County, and to this most useful work she attested her devotion byrendering the last hours of service.

On the night preceding her death she had held in her home, a child welfare conference, attended byministers, teachers, and social workers, for the purpose of planning a busy year’s work in saving andserving underprivileged children of this county.

Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church of which the deceased had beena member for many years, by the pastor Rev. A. J. Morgan, assisted by the Rev. Robert W. Jones, pastor ofthe Presbyterian church. (The church was crowded to its capacity with friends of the deceased and herfamily. Many beautiful floral designs attested a community’s appreciation of one who had served it longand well.) Burial was in Cookeville cemetery.

Mrs. McClain is survived by her husband, Dr. Walter S. McClain, a son, Victor H. McClain, and agranddaughter, Ann McClain of Newark, New Jersey, and a sister, Mrs. John Wade of Lansing, Michigan.

Gilbert McGee’s Body Brought Home:

The body of Gilver McGee, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. McGee, who died in France in the Fall of 1918,arrived here last Saturday and was re-interred at the City Cemetery Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, in thepresence of a large concourse of people. The local chapter of the American Legion, assisted by Rev. A. P.Walker of the Methodist church, performed the last and rites of burial and the service was a veryimpressive one.

Gilbert McGee was a splendid young man, possessing those sterling qualities which have made the youngmanhood of America admired the world over. He died from the effects of pneumonia brought broughtabout by exposure during the awful campaign of 1918, and like thousands of his comrades in arms madethe supreme sacrifice for his country.

The body was examed at the request of the family and the identification was complete, which of course wasa source of great relief to his bereaved parents, who are now as sure that it is their son Gilbert who sleeps inthe newly made grave, as though he had died under their own loving care.

A. B. MCKAY HONORED BY BAXTER SEMINARY TERMED COUNTY’S MOST CHARITABLEINDIVIDUAL: (Editor’s Note: This honor which has come to A. B. McKay is timely recognition of aquality of service to man kind that is seldom equaled and never, surpassed. We are glad to have a smallpart in publishing this tribute to Mr. Mckay which has been prepared by some of his friends who haveknown of his charitable work through the years).

A man who has been termed by many people as Putnam County’s most charitable individual A. B. McKay,a Cookeville attorney, has been named by the Official Board of Baxter Seminary to its Honorary Board ofTrustees.

Even though he is a devout Baptist and Baxter Seminary is a school supported by the Methodist Church,McKay crosses all lines out when it somes to charity, and for more than 20 years he has helped worthyboys and girls at Baxter Seminary.

McKay’s work in helping the needy only starts with his aid to the Baxter Seminary students, since he isconstantly helping his fellowman, and is especially interested in those who are sick and afflicted. Poorchildren without shoes and clothes have often received aid from him, as he has either bought or helped tobuy hundred of pairs of shoes in recent years. Merchants around the Square in Cookeville say that he doesmore charity than any other one individual in Putnam County and has done so consistently during the 25years that he has lived in Cookeville.

“Uncle Mack” as he is known to the hundreds of small fry that he calls his own, passes out Silver Dollarsas his baby girfts and during the years untold numbers of babies, known as his grandchildren, have receivedhis Silver Dollars.

On being asked how many people he had helped in school and college, he stated that he had helped sixgraduate nurses, 5 practical nurses, 2 doctors with their MD degrees and two more working toward an MD,2 dentists, 3 lawyers, and about 25 school teachers and some 40 preachers. Also he has helped untoldnumbers of other school children. He will never give names of the people he helps out only says, “they aremy children and they know and remember me, which is about the proudest heritage a man can have”.

He is known to have worked with the Rev. John Brown in the building of 10 Missionary Baptist churchesand has helped with 9 churches of other denomination.

He helps us with the Big Brothers movement the year round, contributes to the support of the Boy Scoutsand all other charitable campaigns in Putnam County.

McKay has taken an active part in the dry movement in Putnam County and as a Justice of the Peace hasstood for the local option plan to dry up Putnam County so as to make it a better place to live.

No, he is not rich in dollars – a man who has given away so much cannot be rich in money, but he is rich inlove and happiness and has many others rich in the same.

His wife is the former Miss Lucy Whitson, the daughter of the late Judge and Mrs. H. D. Whitson ofCookeville.

Born In Jackson:

Robert Perry Morgan was born in Jackson county, near Merinda, and received his education there. He wasthe son of the Rev. and Mrs. Austin H. Morgan, his father being a Cumberland Presbyterian church pastor.

Mr. Morgan came to Cookeville in 1890, where he opened a produce house in West Cookeville, on what isnow Oak Street. His business has been conducted in the same building for 43 years, the only one in the citythat can boast such a distinction. Prior to his venture into the poultry business, Mr. Morgan operated amarket wagon between Gainesboro, Cookeville, and Nashville.

He was married to Miss Viola Davis, January 14, 1892, and to that union was born one son, HenryDawson, who survives. Other survivors are his widow, three brothers, Warren and Dillard Morgan, ofCookeville, Amos Morgan, of Cowan; three sisters, Mrs. Martha Goodpasture, and Mrs. Lee Ann Allen, ofAda, Okla., and Mrs. Matilda Whittaker of Gainesboro.

Came Before Railroad:

Mr. Morgan came to Cookeville before the railroad, and did much to advance this city and surroundingterritory to its present status. He has contributed largely to placing Cookeville as the largest poultryshipping center in the state, and one of the largest in the South. He was active in his business, and wasrecognized as an authority. He was not a man who sought the acclaim of the crowd, rather keeping himselfin the background and to his business. He had admirable traits of character that had endeared him to allwho knew him.

Friends from all parts of the nation have expressed their regrets at his passing, while those who could, havecome to be at his last rites.

Mr. Morgan was a member of the Knights of Pythias, and had membership in the Southern Poultry and EggShippers’ Association.

Samuel A. Morgan, aged 80, well known attorney and oldest member of the Cookeville Bar, diedWednesday morning at his home near this city. His death followed a stroke of paralysis which he suffered aweek ago. On the day before he was striken with paralysis, he returned from a visit with his son, BedfordMorgan, in Carthage, and then appeared to be as well as usual, but it had been apparent to his friends forthe past year that his health and strength were declining....For the past eight years he had served as UnitedStates Commissioner at this place. He was born and reared in Jackson County and belonged to a prominentfamily in that county.

His father, Daniel Morgan, was a pioneer Primitive Baptist preacher. An uncle, Rev Austin H Morgan, wasa well known Cumberland Presbyterian minister. In his youth, Samuel Morgan was admitted to theGainesboro bar. He practiced law in his native county for years, but when the new county of Pickett wasestablished about fifty years ago, he located in Byrdstown, where he continued in the practice for about 30years. About 20 years ago, he moved to Cookeville, where he has since resided.

For several years after moving to this place, he was associated in the practice of his nephew, Daniel HMorgan...; after the dissolution of this partnership, he practiced alone.

While all his brothers were Democrats and Confederate soldiers, he became a Republican and for 50 yearswas one of the leaders of the Republican Party in the Upper Cumberland section, being a prominent

member of his party's county, district and state conventions. He married Miss Margarette Lucetta Amonetteof Clay County. She died about a year ago.

Mrs. Morgan was a member of one of Clay county’s best families and was a splendid lady.

He is survived by seven grown children as follows: Bedford of Carthage, County Farm agent of SmithCounty; Benton M of San Antonio, Tx; Mrs. Laura Flowers, Bowie, Tx; Mrs. Susie Ledford and Mrs. S JBowers of Cordele, Ga; J M and George Morgan of Cookeville.

In the courtroom and in his intercourse with friends and the public, his manner was always quiet,considerate and kindly. His nature was without bitterness or hatred. He was a well-read and well-informedman and his kindliness of heart impressed all who came in contact with him.

He was a member of the Christian Church. Funeral services will be conducted at 2 o'clock this afternoon atthe Christian Church followed by burial in the family lot in the Cookeville cemetery.
