Obituary
 
Stephen Arnold Douglas Pardunn was born April 4, 1863 in Farmington, 
Illinois.  He lived here until a young man, when he moved with his parents to 
Nebraska City, Nebraska.  From here he went to Iowa where he spent one year, 
and then went back to Illinois.  In 1890 he was married at Abbingdon to Miss 
Alice May Quinn of Landon Mills.  He lived here two years, and then moved near 
Kearney, Nebraska, where he made his home until 1908, when he came to 
Fruitland where he has resided since.  He united with the Evangelical church 
at Odessa, Nebraska in 1906 and took an active part in the same.  Upon coming 
to Fruitland he aided in the building of the Brethren, Baptist, and Methodist 
churches, as neither of the three were built at that time.  He had been a 
sufferer of rheumatism for 19 years and bore his suffering patiently, all the 
time hoping for some relief.  His last illness was of nine weeks duration, 
when he suffered intensely with the flu, bronchitis, pleurisy, inflammatory 
rheumatism, and all the time a very bad heart, which was the immediate cause 
of his death. He was a big hearted and kind man always wanting to help those 
who needed help in any way and was always working for others in spite of the 
ill health he had and was borely ablest to do his own work.  Only those who 
knew him best can realize the loss and sorrow that is caused by his going.  He 
passed quietly away while sleeping, on Monday morning, March 7, at 6:30.  He 
leaves to mourn his loss his wife and two daughters, Mrs. Gertrude Young and 
Mrs. Josephine Wheeler, (one son and one daughter preceding him in infancy) 
one granddaughter, Alice June Young; four sisters, Mrs. Delia Breen of 
Belgrade, Nebraska; Mrs. Julia Reeves of Fullerton, Nebraska, Mrs. Lina Cozard 
of Saliz, Iowa; and Mrs. Mary McCoy of Farmington, Ill., two brothers, David 
Pardunn of New Richmond, West Virginia and Isaac Pardunn of Gresham, Ore., 
besides a host of friends.  One sister passed away in Kansas five years ago.  
Funeral services were held from the home Friday afternoon at 2:30
conducted by Rev. C. M. Knight, and interment made in Riverside cemetery.
 
We are lonely here without you,
Yet we know you are at rest,
And we all shall hope to meet you, 
Over there where souls are blest.
 
Card of Thanks
We desire in this way to thank our many kind friends who assisted us in every 
way during the illness and at the death of our dear husband and father.  Also 
those who contributed the many beautiful flowers, and those who furnished the 
music.
