The Cairo Messenger, Friday, August 2, 1918
Mr. Joseph Darsey of Darsey, Fla., just across the Florida line, passed away 
last Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock.  He had been sick for about ten 
days or two weeks with a bilious attack, which was the cause of his death.  The 
funeral was held at his home at three o'clock Monday afternoon, interment 
following in the family burying grounds about a mile from his home.  A large 
concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends attended the last sad rites.

"Uncle Joe," as he was known by his hundreds of friends was a member of the 
Baptist church and a member of the Masonic Lodge, they helping to conduct the 
last rites over the deceased brother.  Mr. Darsey was a very substantial farmer 
and was well liked by every one in whom he came in contact, both in a social 
and business way.  At the time of his death he was 81 years of age.  He is 
survived by several sons and daughters, besides numerous relatives and 
friends.  Several from Cairo attended the funeral services.
