Saturday morning the friends of Mr. Fears and the people of the community were 
greatly shocked at his sudden death which occurred about 10 o’clock in the 
morning.   Apparently Mr. Fears was as vigorous and well as usual and after 
walking all over the farm he returned to his workshop, where he busied himself 
until he fell from the sudden stroke.  A servant ran to him and carried him into 
the house.  Drs. White and Elder were summoned, but neither had time to reach 
him before the end came.  Mr. Fears served till the close of the war of the 
sixties, and the South had never a more gallant soldier, Jefferson Davis a more 
devoted follower, nor the “Lost Cause” a more loyal supporter.  He boasted of 
being a rebel and never tired of telling his personal experiences with the 
Yankees.  Although Mr. Fears would have been seventy six years old in July, he 
was a supple and vigorous as a man many years his junior.  He is survived by his 
wife and two sons, Magruder Fears, a prominent grain inspector for the city of 
St. Louis, and Eugene Fears, a little boy twelve years of age.  Mr. Fears was Fears,
