OBITUARY
BRECKINRIDGE LOSES ANOTHER GOOD MAN
C. C. PILE Dies At His Home In Southern Part Of
County Last Week -- Leaves A Large Family
Well-Known
BURIED IN HOME GRAVEYARD

     C. C. PILE, one of the best-known citizens of the southeastern part of the 
county, peacefully breathed his last at his home at Mook on Tuesday, March 1, 
1910, after a nervous illness of a few weeks.
     The deceased was born May 10, 1841 near Buras (in Breckinridge County), 
and was one of the many substantial citizens born in that section of the county 
in those days, there being seven such sons in his Father's family, John, James 
M., and Isaac being the only ones now living.
     At the age of twenty-six, Mr. PILE was married to Bettie A. BRUNER, the 
daughter of Joel BRUNER, of Custer.  Ten children were born to them, eight of 
these together with the Mother, survive:
Joel H. PILE of Hardinsburg, Ky
Mrs. Mollie ALEXANDER of Custer, Ky
Gilbert PILE of Custer, Ky
Victor PILE of Liberty, Arizona
Wade PILE of Mook, Ky
Homer PILE of Mook, Ky
Ora PILE of Mook, Ky
Eliza PILE of Mook, Ky
     Mr. PILE was a successful farmer, producing the best and so caring for his 
soil that its fertility increased under his cultivation.  He was noted for his 
industry, preferring activity to quiet and knowing no rest except that which 
comes with sleep and the observance of the Sabbath.
     Kindness to neighbors, dispensing hospitality at his home, liberality in 
providing for his family, exerting his influence for higher living, studying 
his Bible, and encouraging others to learn, and obey its teachings, were 
cardinal features of his active life.  He was a man whom his section will miss 
one whose memory will remain, whose works are living testamony of an exalted 
manhood, whose good deeds are his greatest monument.
     After brief and fitting funeral exercises, conducted by his neighbors and 
co-laborers in good works, by the Reverend's A. A. Smiley and H. T. Basham, 
this being his request.
      His six sons, Joel, Gilbert, Wade, Homer, Victor, and Ora tenderly bore 
the remains to the family burying ground on the brow of the hill, near the home 
he had built, and in which he and his faithful wife had reared them, the Mecca 
to which they are always glad to return.
