Pleasant Cemetery. - Memories by Opal Anderson Pate - Aussie Edna, no wonder he went by Jack, he was about 5ft 3in white hair,blue eyes. Wore overalls, plaid shirts and straw hat, walked with a cane, he was the story teller of the family. He would come to grandma's and would sit in the rocking chair, next to the piano. As a kid we played in the family room, next to the living room. Uncle Jack would sit in the rocking chair and would trip us kids with his cane when we came out of the room. He was a fiery old cuss. He usually walked everywhere he went. We were down here for his funeral I can remember going to his house after the services, he was not much of a house keeper. I saw a pair of woman's high top shoes, black and laced up the front, I still kick myself for not getting them, they were great grandma Emmers. Census

Both were mothers of large families and were excellent Christian women possessing that simple but sterling character which so often characterized the mothers and the fathers of the early days when all of the hardships of the pioneer had to be met in the battle of life. For more than four fifths of a century these women had lived. They had experienced life as it was lived during three generations. They contributed their humble part to the noble but quiet work of molding a great nation from the little group of sparsely settled states of nearly ninety years ago. Mrs. Catron left six children living: Hiram who lives in Mexico, Mrs. Ibby Glass of Wyandotte, Okla., Burrell and Andy Catron and Mrs. Kate McNabb of near Cassville and Jasper Catron of Lawrence County. Mrs. Catron was at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ibby Glass, at Wyandotte when she died. Her body was shipped to its old home for burial. The funeral was held Friday at the Antioch Baptist Church and interment made in the cemetery there. Family Files

He had been very feeble for months and his passing away came as no surprise to those who knew his condition and advanced age. Peter Catron was one of the counties, oldest and most highly respected citizens and he will be greatly missed in the community. Obituary will appear next week. - November 10, 1910, Cassville Republican - Obituary: Peter Catron was born in Hancock County, Tennessee, May 10, 1828 and died Oct. 31, 1910. There he grew to manhood. With the true pioneer spirit he left his native state and went west and settled 43 years ago in Barry County, Missouri near Cassville. For the most of this time he lived on the same farm about two and one - fourth miles northwest of town. There he built a home and reared a large family and helped to shape the affairs for this county as they have been handed down to the present generation. Sixty years ago he was united in married to Anna England who has survived her husband. To this union were born six sons and two daughters all of who are living. They are Mrs. G. H. Glass of Wyandotte, Okla.; and Mrs. Walter McNabb, of Exeter; Hiram of Tampieo, Mexico; James and William of near Cassville, George of Eureka Springs, Ark.; Jasper and Andy also of near Cassville. Funeral services were held Monday Nov. 1, at Antioch Church conducted by Rev. Ed. Chappell. In the death of Mr. Catron, Barry County loses one of her best citizens, a man of simple stern and upright character, a man whose habits of life were exemplary and who believed in the cardinal virtues of honesty and strict attention to one's own affairs in every regard. In this passing away, another of our pioneers has answered the summons which so many have so recently answered in this county. - Dec. 15, 1910, Cassville Republican - The heirs of Peter Catron met at Cassville Tuesday and arranged the affairs of the Catron estate. Peter Catron left no will but had a considerable amount of property, principally land. All money was given the widow and the land was divided among the eight children in accordance with the wish of Mr. Catron before he died in deeds made to take effect after his death. The deeds thus being void, the eight children mutually agreed to each execute deeds in accordance with what they knew their father's will to be. They avoided any necessity of an administration on the estate and divided the estate with entire satisfaction to all. Online Obit

The sad accident occurred shortly after Mrs. Cottrell's trip to town to get some heart tablets for her husband and to do some shopping for the family. The medicine was in a package with other articles and was placed by Mrs. Cottrell after her arrival home upon a shelf. While she and her husband were out attending to the duties about the home older children of the family got the package from the shelf, opened it and in some way the medicine got in the hands of the little child and was soon found by the parents in a state of convulsions.

A. Freeze, a prominent teacher of this county and Emmett Freeze of the city, was accidentally killed while operating a wood saw near Ridgley Tuesday afternoon about 3 o'clock. Curtis and family lived in McDonald County near Simcoe. He had come over after a wood saw and was sawing for farmers along the way back home. At the time of the accident he was sawing wood for Joe Stamps near Ridgley. The saw was running and the work going along well, apparently, when the belt used on the rig flew off and stuck Curtis on the side of the head with such force as to kill him. He died almost instantly, living only a very few moments after being stuck. He was 22 years old and leaves a young wife and three small children, the youngest being only a few weeks old. He was a nephew of John, Sam and W. E. Hankins. The death is a very sad one indeed and has bought deepest grief to his family and friends in this and in McDonald County. - Cassville Republican, Dec. 2, 1915 - The Curtis Freeze funeral was held at the Antioch Baptist Church, Wednesday afternoon of last week, conducted by Rev. Chas. Vanzandt. Rev. Ed Chappel also made a short talk. Curtis was a consistent church member and held in the highest esteem by the whole community in which he had spent nearly all his life.
