Baze Dies With Attack of Heart Trouble Was Good Man Cassville Democrat, Cassville, Barry Co., Missouri, January 23, 1915 A.P. Baze died at his home in this city, Jan. 20, 1915, of kidney trouble, aged 74 years, 10 months and 13 days. He was born in Tennessee and came with his parents to Barry County in 1848 and located in Cassville and resided here for many years. Mr. Baze worked on the brick yard where the brick was made at the ford of Flat Creek in the city limits on the Washburn Road, that were used to build the court house that was torn down a few years ago. When the Civil War came on, he enlisted in the Union Army and served in 1st Ark. Cavalry, Co., E, under Major Chas. Galloway and Capt. G.R. King, and served three years, and eight months in the Home Guards. He made a good soldier and was a splendid man. He married Margaret Hixon to whom were born ten children, seven of whom are living, who are: Mary Augst, Withrow, Wash., Cellie C. (B) Jackson, Monett (MO), Ella Pace, Wenatchee, Wash., H.L. Baze, J.T. Baze and P.S. Baze, all of Cassville. He had been a member of the Christian Church for many years and died in that faith. Rev. J.T. Brattin conducted funeral services at the Baptist Church in this city, Thursday at 4:00 p.m., after which the remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery, to await the reward of a well spent life. Peter Baze was a splendid man, citizen and neighbor, and enjoyed the respect and confidence of all his acquaintances. He was recognized by all the older citizens of Barry County, as being an honest man, on whom you could depend. His soldier comrades in Barry County, will be made sad to learn of his death. But he has attended the last roll call on earth, but will answer in Heaven, when "the roll is called over there." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Return to Online Data Index Return to Barry County © 1999 Susan Tortorelli All Rights Reserved
