| Text | Life departed from Francis Marion Lassiter at his home 4 miles south of Cassville, Wednesday, May 20, 1908, of Bright's disease, age 63 years. He was born in Tennessee, and came to Missouri with his parents, when a small child, his father locating at Jolly; later they moved to Barry County, near Osa. He married but a few years back, his wife died and he again married. He is survived by his last wife, and a daughter, Mrs. Peco Houston of near Marionville, who attended her father several days before his death. He resided many years in the Osa neighborhood and from there moved to his last home. He was an old soldier of the war of the sixties, and a member of the Church of God. His remains were conveyed Thursday, to the Wise Cemetery near Osa, and there laid to rest, beside loved ones, gone before. Rev. Williams conducted funeral services at the grave. Mr. Lassiter enjoyed the respect, confidence of his acquaintances, and we judge he will receive the wages for a just and well spent life. |
