U.G. BIXLER DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME AT EDGE OF CITY
FELT END NEAR AND CAME TO CITY THURSDAY TO SETTLE BUSINESS
AFFAIRS.
WAS RETIRED FARMER AND REAL ESTATE MAN
Funeral Services Will be Held Sunday at 2:3O p. m. at
First Methodist Church.
Friday's Daily.
Grant Bixler, retired farmer and real estate man, died
suddenly at 11:20 o'clock Thursday night at his home at the edge of the city on
the Portersville road. Ailments of the
stomach and heart caused his death, taking a man widely known and universally
liked throughout the county. He had been
in failing health for several years, although he looked to be enjoying health.
Feeling that the end was approaching for him, Mr. Bixler
came to Washington Thursday afternoon and settled up his business affairs;
Thursday night after he had gone to bed, he began feeling worse and as he came
down stairs he told his wife that he would "get down but he would never go
upstairs again."
Mrs. Bixler tried to dispel his belief that death was near
but was unsuccessful.
A doctor was called but death preceded his arrival. His death was a great shock to his relatives
and many friends. Death was caused by
valvular heart trouble.
Ulysses Grant Bixler was born April 2, 1861 near Haysville
in Dubois county and moved to Daviess county in 1893, purchasing a farm in
Washington township where he engaged in farming for a number of years.
Owing to failing health he gave up active farming a few
years ago and engaged in the real estate business in Washington. About a year ago
his health caused him to retire from this business also.
Although retired from active farm life, Mr. Bixler never
gave up his interest in agriculture and was regarded as one of the best known
farmers in the county.
He was married December 5, 1880 to Alice M. Waller, to
which union three children were born-Ray Bixler, of Chicago; Ralph Bixler and
Miss Lucile Bixler, of Washington. These three children, with the widow and one
brother, W. F. Bixler, of Iola, Kas., survive him. Mr. Bixler was a member of the
First M. E. church of Washington, and also a member of the Odd Fellows lodge.
In politics he was a staunch republican. He was regarded as one of Washington's
substantial and upright citizens.
Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock at the Methodist church with interment following in Oak Grove cemetery. Courtesy of Cathy Clark

Mrs. John Blagrave
died at her home in Alford Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

White. She was born in Martin County,
October 13, 1868 and departed this life in the afternoon of Friday, January 4,
1946. She was 78 years, 2 months and 22 days old at the date of death.
She was one of a family of eleven children, five of whom
are living. On September 1, 1889, she
was united in marriage to John T. Blagrave, also a native of Martin
County. To this union two children were

her membership in that church, remaining a faithful member, until God called
her home. During her long illness, her
never-ending patience and fortitude in suffering, never left her. She always had a smile for everyone, who came
to visit her. Beside being a kind and living wife and devoted mother, she was a
wonderful neighbor and friends. Past

sorrows or care; Where day is eternal, beyond death's dark sea, My mother is
waiting in Heaven for me. Funeral service were held Sunday morning at 10:30

Obituary
Chester William Watson
Chester William, infant son of Fred A. and Sarah E.
Watson, was born August 30, 1905, departed this brief life July 2, 1907 aged 1
year, 10 months and 2 days. His illness
was of almost two weeks duration and the last day or two was characterized by
intense suffering. During his illness he
would call for his papa and mamma very frequently. He endeared himself to his parents in so many
different ways, but especially in meeting his father as he would return from
his days work, at the gate or out along the path. He leaves in addition to father and mother,
one sister named Daisy Maude, to mourn his departure to the realms of bliss
above. The home and little casket was
strewn with the most beautiful flowers, and the funeral was one of the most
impressive ever witnessed at that of a child in this vicinity, as Chester was
known by many and his winning manner and bright wit endeared him not only to
his parents but to all with whom he came in contact. Funeral services were held Wednesday
afternoon at 3 p.m. at M. E. church with Rev. Sisson officiating. Interment followed in IOOF cemetery. The
family have the sincere sympathy of the entire community. Courtesy of Cathy Clark

June 14, 1935
Margery A. Conrad, daughter of David and Julia Wineinger
Milburn was born May 15, 1845 and departed this life June 5, 1935, aged 90
years and 27 days. She was the eldest of a family of nine children, of which
only two are yet living. At an early age she united with the Methodist
Episcopal Church at Hillham and later changed her membership to the United Brethren
Church at the same place.
Many years later, there being no United Brethren congregation near her home,
she placed her membership with the Christian Church of Cuzco, in which she remained until the end.
On October 23, 1870, she was united in marriage to Harrison Conrad. To this
union was born one child, Nina Alexander. The husband preceded her in death
more than sixty years ago. She worked hard to rear the little daughter. She was
patriotic, and during the Civil War she helped her mother make a living while
her father was in the army. During the World War she knitted more garments than
any person of this place for the soldier boys. She was one of the few who could
relate experiences of hearing the wolves howl in the woods and other incidents
of pioneer days.
