W. Boon, one of Barry County's pioneer citizens who had helped to shape the county's history one half century ago, died at the home of Ad Miller, south of Cassville, Tuesday, Jan 23. He was born in Virginia, June 17, 1830, making him 81 years 7 months, and 6 days old. He came to this county about 1856 and located on what is now the Elmer Shore farm north of Cassville. He lived there for many years and made a success with his farm. He soon became interested in public affairs and in 1862 he was elected to represent this county in the state legislature. He was elected to the legislature again in 1866. Later he served as a county surveyor and made, as he had done in the legislature, an excellent official. Older citizens who knew him during those days state that he made this county one of the best officials it ever had. He lived southeast of Cassville for several years. This farm he sold a few years ago and since this time, having no family or relatives in this part of the county, he has lived with Ad Miller's. Ad has looked after the old man as though he was a near relative, which was a most commendable act on his part. J. W. Boon was a man of the type of the sturdy old Virginian, strictly honest and upright in everything, eccentric in his way, but an excellent citizen. His body was buried Wednesday at the Oak Hill Cemetery in Cassville. - Jeffrey W.

For days while the manly struggle for life was being fought and is physician was constantly at his bedside, his host of friends were ever hopeful each day that the next would bring the change for the better. A number of hemorrhages readily took the strength of youth and he quietly passed into that sleep which knows no waking. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the tabernacle in Cassville, conducted by Rev. C. F. Siler of Anderson and Rev. L. R. Lamb of this city. The large concourse of people present was a strong testimonial of the high esteem in which the family is held. Few larger crowds have ever attended a funeral service in Cassville. Prof. J. E. Thomas and his excellent choir beautifully assisted in the services. The pall bearers were young men of the Baptist Church: Dr. E. L. Blankenship, F. A. Meadow, James Mitchell, Evan Shore, Horace Stacey and Julian Van Hook. Oren Brattin was born March 12, 1895 on the farm which was his home when he died. He had lived in the community all his life.

Brattin, one of the best known Baptist ministers in Southwest Missouri, who died December 2, were held Sunday, December 6, at the Community building in Cassville. An immense crowd of people attended the services. Elders Siler, J. A. Curtis, Oscar Higgins and Charles Vanzandt conducted the impressive services. The Barry county Baptist ministers attended the funeral in a body. Masonic honors were given at the grave. Floral offerings were beautiful and profuse.

Loren Lauderdale, Purdy; Rev. Verdayne Dodson, Cassville and Rev. Al Bennett, Purdy. James Tilman Brattin, son of John W. and Matilda Brattin, was born March 12, 1859 near Fayetteville, Ark. When he was about two years old his parents moved to Barry county and settled near the present location of the Cassville grade school where they resided during the Civil war. Here he grew to manhood and with the exception of five years lived in Barry county the rest of his life, all but a few years were spent in Cassville. On April 10, 1883, he was married to Minnie L. Sills, daughter of the late Rev. J. C. Sills, a pioneer Baptist minister of Barry county. To this union six children were born, four of whom preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Minnie Brattin, one daughter, Mrs. Calvin Henderson of Cassville, one son Morris W. Brattin of Pontiac, Mich, seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren. He was converted December 23, 1885. During the same meeting his wife also was converted and they both united with the Cassville Baptist church and were baptized by Rev. J. C. Sills. Immediately after his conversion he began active Christian work, and in just a few years began preaching. He preached his first sermon at Antioch Baptist church September 1, 1889, and before the end of the year had preached 31 sermons. He was ordained to the ministry in April 1892 by Antioch church. This church he was serving as pastor at the time of his death. In the Barry County Association he has served as pastor of the following churches: New Site, New Hope, Calvary, Corinth, Shell Knob, Golden, Exeter, Purdy, Washburn, Wheaton, Jenkins, Arnhart. In other associations he held pastorate at Verona, Clear Creek, Ebenezer, Mt. Olivet, Kings Point, Round Grove, Mt. Olive, Carterville, Seneca, Racine, Prosperity, and was pastor at Grove, Okla., for two years. In addition to his years of pastoral service, he served Barry County association as missionary for four years. Rev. Brattin was honored by Barry County association in being selected moderator 34 times, the first time being in 1901. The only exceptions were in 1927 and 1928, when he was in Grove, Okla. This position he filled with credit to himself and to the association. His home church, Cassville Baptist church, called him as pastor three times. Few men who have given themselves so unstintedly to the ministry, have enjoyed better health. November 1, 1936 he filled his appointment with the church at Golden where he was pastor. Rev. Brattin had always kept an accurate record of his work, but at the present time these are not available. However, it is known that he married 480 couples, had witnessed thousands of conversions, had baptized thousands of persons, and had conducted more than a thousand funerals. He contracted a severe cold during the recent illness and at the death of his brother, the late L. D. Brattin, who passed away October 24, 1936. Soon after returning from Golden he was stricken with the illness which took him to the hospital. He was recovering from the operation in a fine way when pneumonia seized him, and only a few hours could his weakened body withstand the attack. From the Freeman hospital, he departed this life and its toils, December 2, 1936, to go to his heavenly home and its glories. He leaves a great host of true friends, many of whom he led to Christ and had baptized and comforted in times of sorrow and encouraged with his strong Bible sermons. Of him can it be truly said, "He was mighty in the scripture." - Another Photo - Photo of James - Photo of James, 1936 - Photo of James, son Morris, and granddaughter. | Obit C.

G. Brown, old time and beloved citizen of this community, passed away following a short illness and pneumonia. This excellent citizen suffered a paralytic stoke a few months ago from which he never fully recovered. Mr. Brown was one of the county's oldest citizens, being 98 years, seven months, and 18 days old at the time of his passing. This excellent character was born near Raleigh, North Carolina. He moved with his parents to Tennessee when a young man, where he was united in marriage to Miss Keturh Ann Templeton, on November 9, 1858, his splendid wife preceding him in death nine years ago. In the year 1874, he and family moved to Barry County, first locating in Capps Creek township, After residing there a few years, he moved to a farm on Shoal Creek, near the Swindle College. It was after a few years residence in that community, that he moved to Cassville and engaged in the mercantile business with the old well know firm of King, Bayless and Padgett, which was successfully operated for many years. Later on, he and his son, Lee acquired this noted store which they continued to operate for many years, being one of the oldest establishments of it kind in this part of the state. A few years ago, they disposed of the store, this splendid character retiring from business and making his home with his splendid son, Luther Brown and family of near Cassville, his son, Lee and family left for Salinas, California, where he has since been in similar business. Four children were born to the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who are Luther of Cassville, Lee of California, and Mrs. Shade Wallen of Vinita, Ok., all of whom survive, and son Robert of St. Joe, MO who preceded his father in death a few years ago. In addition to these children, he leaves twelve grand-children, of which are: Roy Brown of Springfield, Preston of Monett, Leonard at home, and two sons of Robert Brown deceased. He also leaves three great-grand-children and one great-great-great grandson, all of whom were present at the funeral. There were five generations of this splendid family at the services. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Presbyterian church in Cassville, conducted by Rev. E.W. Love of Joplin, who ably pictured this excellent character and eulogized him for the honorable, clean and upright life which he had lived. The church was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends of this good man who came to pay their last love and respect. Interment was made in the Oak Hill cemetery, beside his good wife, under the direction of Koon Funeral Service. A quartet composed of Mr. B. D. Wilks, Mrs. Glen Pearl, Clinton Blythe and J. W. Hisey furnished beautiful music at the services. Many beautiful floral emblems were received from near and distant friends of the deceased and his family. L. G. Brown was man in whom every one had explicit confidence. His word was his bond and his every act was to do right. He was a man who always attended strictly to his own affairs and was truthful sincere, honest and progressive. He had many friends who loved him sincerely. In his closing days, as well as in past years, this kind of character was given every care possible from the hands of those in whose home he lived. The Democrat joins the many friends of the bereaved family in extending sympathy in their sad hour of bereavement. - May 19, 1898, Cassville Republican - L. G.
