HAGOOD DIED THIS MORNING -------As Old and Well Known Resident of Nevada -- Funeral to be Sunday Afternoon -------Death came to C.C. Hagood, an old resident of this city, at three o'clock this morning, at his home, 427 South Cedar street. Mr. Hagood was a few weeks past 89 years of age and death was largely due to the infinities of age. Charles C. Hagood, was a native Missourian, born at La Grange, October 3, 1835. He was married in that city May 29, 1860, to Miss Sarah E. Snell of Paris, Mo. To them were born four children, Emmett, Edwin and Misses Mary and Julia Hagood, three of whom are now living, one son, Edwin, passed away in childhood. Mrs. Hagood died a number of years ago and afterwards Mr. Hagood was married to Miss Nettie Shepperd of Marshall, who passed away a short time ago. To this union were born three children, Hampton, Georgia and Leon, the two latter are surviving, but Hampton passed away fourteen years ago. Mr. Hagood came to Nevada in 1880 and engaged in the dry goods business and for many years was actively identified with the business intrests of the city. He was a man of many fine qualities, polished in manner, always happy and optimistic with a sense of humor that made him most entertaining and companionable, and the passing of the years brought no changes in his character for he never grew old. He was honest and upright in all his relationships with his fellowmen and he was sincere and courageous in his convictions. Mr. Hagood's friends are numbered by scores and the news of his passing will bring sadness to the hearts of many. The funeral services will not be held until Sunday afternoon, awaiting the arrival of his two sons, Emmett of Seligman, Mo., and Leon of Glendale, California. The three daughters, Misses Mary, Julia and Georgia Hagood, live at the home address (Date written under this obituary: November 26th, 1924) ----------------------------A SAD VISIT Emmett C. Hagood, of near Seligman, received a sad summons last week from Nevada to come at once that his father was dead at the age of 89 years, a splendid ripe old age. His name was Charles C. Hagood and had long resided in that city, where he was held in high estimation by all of his acquaintances. He was a member of the Christian Church and had been for many years and an Odd Fellow. Emmett Hagood returned Monday from this sad trip full of thoughts of the love he bore for his splendid father. Emmett should follow and emulate the splendid life that his father lived ---------------------------- A SISTER-IN-LAW OF C.C. HAGOOD IS DEAD C.C.

Death came after a sickness of several months. The illness was Bright's disease, and the malady, which refused hope to the sufferer, was met with patient endurance and steadfast courage which few men have possessed in a higher degree. Hampton Hagood from boyhood was an earnest and untiring worker. His life was one of purpose, and it is probable that it was shortened by his devotion to his work. He was never obtrusive, no mad was ever freer from offensive self-assertion, but in his ideas of right he was immovable. To really know the man it was necessary to be very close to him. He did not like blazonry, and in his frequent labors for others shrank from the glare of publicity. "In every good cause," said an intimate friend, "you could count on Hamp for double work just as long as he believed himself in the back-ground. His right hand was always most effective when his left was ignorant of what its fellow was doing." While Hamp was yet a boy, his employer said to the writer: "I never saw a better quality of nerve than that boy has. When he thinks he is right, he would not give and inch of the road to Death itself." When a man dies it is customary to say that his life made the world better. Sometimes it is true and sometimes false but in this case no one who knew the man will question the truth of the statement. He made friends and loved them and they loved him. The call of suffering was, to him, and undeniable demand for his service and all men were hid neighbors because they were men. He was far more than the later definition of gentleman. He was a gentle man, sympathetic, self-denying, quietly forceful, and in all things modes. He was the sold wood of which veneer is made. Had he lived until the 22nd of the this month he would have been 37 years of age, having been born in Springfield Mo., November 22, 1876. He was a member of the Masonic lodge and was an Elk, having been one of the first members of the Nevada lodge. He leaves a father and mother Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Hagood of this city; and three sisters, Misses Mary, Julia and Georgia, besides hosts of friends who mourn his loss. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at three o'clock from the family residence on South Cedar Street. Rev. Shook having charge of the services. The funeral will be in charge of the Masonic lodge. Troop "A" will act as a mounted military escort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Miss Julia Hagood ? - ?

J.A. Stout, pastor of the Christian church. Musical numbers were given by Miss Steen, who sang very beautifully two songs, "Tired" and "No Night," both favorites of Miss Hagood, and Miss Naomi Sparlin, of Cottey furnished piano accompaniments. Burial was in Deepwood beside her father, Mr. Charles C. Hagood, who passed away a year ago last Thanksgiving. Pallbearers were Judge H.M. Poage, J.H. Jackson, Wooddy Swearinggen, R.E. Jorden, C.H. Prewitt and J.M. Palmer. Miss Julia Hagood was born in Marshall Mo., but moved with her parents when but a child to Springfield, and soon thereafter came to Nevada where they have since resided. The mother passed away many years ago, also a brother Hampton Hagood, and surviving are her brother Emmett Hagood of Seligman, Mo., and a sister, Miss Mary Hagood, and a half sister Miss Georgia Hagood, both of Nevada, and a half brother Lon Hagood of Los Angeles California, and four nieces and two nephews. Miss Hagood had been in failing health since last summer, but continued her duties at the H.C. Moore Dry Goods Store, where she had been saleswoman for a number of years, until her condition became much worse a few months ago. Treatment was then taken in Kansas City under specialists, also at Mayo Bros., Rochester, Minn., but all that medical skill and loving hands could do were unavailing and the end came Saturday morning in the Lakeside hospital Kansas City. Miss Hagood had a whole host of friends throughout the city, numbering among them many of her patrons, and to all her passing is felt as a personal bereavement. Her sunny smile, cordial manner and sparkling humor endeared her to all with whom she was associated and her life was a splendid example of loyalty and gentleness. She manifested during the long weary weeks of illness a marvelous courage and bore her sufferings with a sweetness and patience that made an indelible mark on the memory of her family and friends. The brother, Mr. Emmett Hagood of Seligman, came to attend the funeral but the other brother, Mr. Lon Hagood, was unable to be here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MRS. E.C. HAGOOD, SELIGMAN LADY, HAS SERIOUS ATTACK The many friends of Mrs. E.C. Hagood, wife of Emmett Hagood, prominent farmer and live stick dealer of near Washburn, will be sorry to hear that she suffered a serious attack of Kidney trouble Tuesday and has been almost at the point of death ever since. For a time Wednesday, it was thought she would pass on at any time but she took a slight turn for the better that evening and it is said some hopes entertained for her recovery. She is one of the county's best citizens and has many friends who will hope for her recovery.
