[Beginning of article missing] …Sarah Ann Tee, Sept. 9, 1841. Of this union nine
children were born, two of whom died many years ago. The children living are:
Israel, of Palco, Kansas, Mrs. Jane Thomas and Mrs.
Nancy Brown, of Hebron Neb., Mrs. Cynthia Deaton and Mrs. Sarah Woodhead of Barnard, Mo., Mrs Keziah Painter, of Flag Springs, and Clinton who lives on
the old homestead and with whom the deceased lived the last years of his
life. Besides his children, there are 20 grand-children, 61 great
grand-children, and 3 great great-grandchildren, making a total of 91 living
descendants, who with a host of friends and neighbors mourn his loss.
Uncle Ira, as he was familiarly called by his neighbors,
was a man of strong mind and character, an upright citizen and a good
neighbor. Coming to Missouri as
he did in an early day, he experienced many of the hardships of pioneer life.
He settled in Andrew County
in 1848 and in 1850 he entered the farm he still owned at his death.
Being a man of good education, he kept in touch with the
affairs of the world by constant reading, requiring no glasses to read
ordinary print, He had lived to see immense changes take place, indeed few
are the men within whose memory such marvelous changes have taken place as
have his. He could give many an interesting account of happenings of long ago
before the days of railroads, telegraph etc.
While still a young man he united with the Baptist
Church and remained a constant Christian
until his death.
Interment and funeral services were at Flag Springs.
