Robert McEntire Breeden 1873-1907

A Brother has Passed Away

A model man in the person of R. M. Breeden is no more on earth; he passed away Sunday, September 29, 1907 at 4 o'clock.

Deceased was born in the southwest part of Maries County May 6, 1873. That place now seems to the writer a garden of Eden: 'How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood.' On this farm Robert lived until the 29th of March 1890 when he with his parents moved to the old home farm in the south part of Pulaski County.

He was a son of J. W. and Cordelia Rowden Breeden and a grandson of Robert Rowden deceased. The grandson being named for the grandfather and he carried with him the features and actions of his grandfather.

He made a profession of religion in the winter of 1897 while attending a protracted meeting which was conducted by Rev. Lacklider. He and two sisters Dollie and Livilla were attending school at that time at Dixon.

On September 18, 1898 he was married to Miss Etta Dye, daughter of Colonel Dye of Big Piney.

What can we say of brother Robert that would be justice, he was a good brother, an obedient son, a loving husband and father. A dutiful official and was serving his third term as surveyor of Pulaski County. His vacant seat will be noticed in the Sunday school and more especially in the home by his dear wife and sweet little baby who will never know a father's love.

Relatives, friends and associates, Rob has gone, the staff has dropped from his hand, his arm and heart has ceased to pulsate. The sparkling glean of cheerful eye has been forever dimmed, and his pure mind ceased to work and gone to bathe in the rays of a son that throws the light of life upon a better land. Let us all try to emulate the record he made, so when the last roll is called you can meet your God in peace and enjoy the dreams of a well spent life.

Seven of his brothers and sisters were present, Clint, Charlie, George, Roberta Skidmore, Dollie Haynes, Nina Cook and Eva Sullins of Cookville. Joseph of Colorado and Lavilla Singleton of Arkansas were the absent ones.

Service were held at the home by the Baptist minister at 2 o'clock p.m. after which the A.F.& A.M., and I.O.O.F. orders took charge. The crowd was estimated at 1,000. Interment in Big Piney cemetery at 4:00.

Ella (Bowman) Wilson (1874-1907)

“Gone Home”

Ella, daughter of Andrew and Adaline Bowman, first saw the light of day in Franklin county, Indiana, December 5, 1874.  When about twelve years of age her parents moved to Dixon, Mo., where she continued to reside until God called her away from “the life that now is.”

On April 11, 1895, about two miles north of Dixon, in Maries county, she was united in marriage to Simon Wilson.  To this union were born four children:  Fay, 12 years of age; Pansy, 10 years of age; Floyd, eight years old, and Raymond, who is six years old.

Mrs. Wilson and her two little girls, Fay and Pansy, were converted during a revival conducted by Dr. Standard last winter in Dixon, and she, with her two little daughters, immediately united with the M.E. Church.  She lived a consistent Christian life, and took great interest in having the children regularly in the Sunday School.  She was an affectionate wife and a loving-hearted mother; a good Christian woman, who will be sadly missed at home as the days come and go, and missed by a large number of friends in Dixon and the country surrounding.

Mrs. Wilson was sick about two weeks, and during that time suffered great physical agony.  At 6:55 on Friday, Dec 27.  She passed from Earth to the “Glory World”.  A short time before she passed away a beautiful smile overspread her pale face as if the curtain had been lifted and she had a vision of rapturous scenes of the Glorified City.  She was conscious to the last and tried to speak, but her physical strength was not sufficient for the effort.  Before she went away she told her sorrowing husband that she was going away, and asked him to go with her.

Mrs. Wilson leaves her husband and four children, her invalid mother, two sisters, Mrs. Wooley of Newburg and Miss Addie Bowman of Dixon, and two brothers, George and Omer, both of Dixon, to mourn her loss.

The funeral was conducted by the writer at the M.E. Church in Dixon on Saturday January 28 (sic), at 1:30 p.m. after which the mortal body was taken to Fox Crossing cemetery for interment.  Together with a large number of friends we extend our sympathy to the bereaved family in their great sorrow,

Gustavus A. Schneider (1850-1907)

The subject of this brief sketch, Gustavus A. Schneider, was born in Faos, Cole county, Missouri, July 25, 1850, and departed this life in Dixon, Missouri, at 11:20 p.m. Wednesday, December 25, 1907, aged 57 years and 5 months. 

Bro. Schneider came to Dixon in 1871, and on Feb. 7, 1875, was united in marriage to Mary J. Baker, near Dixon.  To this union were born two sons and three daughters, all of whom survive and live in Dixon, save, Mrs. Roach, who resides in Rolla.

About 13 years ago Bro. Schneider identified himself with the Methodist Episcopal Church in Dixon, of which church he remained a consistent member till God called him home.
He was also a member of the I. O. O. F.; of the Masonic Fraternity and the Modern Woodman of America.

For about two years Bro. Schneider had been in bad health, but most of that time was able to get around and look after his business.  On Saturday night, December 21, he was taken suddenly ill, between 10 and 11 o’clock.  He was stricken with paralysis and lingered till nearly midnight of the following Wednesday, when he set sail for the Better Country.  He leaves a sorrowing wife, five children, four brothers and three sisters to mourn his loss.

The funeral service was conducted by the writer at the family residence on Friday at 2:00 p.m., after which all that was mortal of Gustavus A. Schneider was laid to rest in the cemetery near Dixon. 

Bro. Schneider was a plain, unassuming man, quiet in his disposition, a loving husband, an affectionate father, a warm-hearted brother, a good citizen, and a Christian gentleman, and will be sadly missed by the good people of Dixon and vicinity.

The writer would join the entire community in expressions of heartfelt sympathy for the bereaved family and all the sorrowing relatives.
