(By K.L. Haga)
	Mrs. Essie Loven Bagby, wife of Wesley M. Bagby of Linville died at her 
home Saturday evening at 7:40 P.M.  She was the daughter of the late Ed S. 
Loven and Mrs. Myrtle Loven.   She was 35 years of age and spent her childhood 
and young womanhood at her home in Linville.
	She joined the Presbyterian church when she was 12 years old and was a 
faithful and worthy member.  She attended Lees’s McRae Institute, Flora 
McDonald and Davenport Colleges.  After her marriage she became a member of the 
Southern Methodist church and was a great help in the church work with her 
husband.  During the six years resident in Savannah, Ga., where her husband was 
Boy Scout Executive she was the efficient secretary of a large Sunday school 
class of ladies.  She manifested great interest in young peoples work and 
revealed great faithfulness and patience in her work among them.  She was a 
devoted and God-fearing mother.  Her home was a home where prayer was held 
daily and her children were taught to pray and attend Sunday School. 
	Surviving are her husband and 3 children, Sibyl, Wesley and Edwin, her 
mother, Mrs. Ed. S. Loven, a brother, J.A. Loven, a sister Joyce, all of 
Linville and a sister Mrs. Hope Loven Pitman of Canton, O.
	The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian Church in Linville 
with Rev. D. W. Haga fo the Methodist Church and Rev. K.L. Haga of the 
Montezuma Baptist church in charge.  Burial took place in the Montezuma 
cemetery wit Ronald Hughes in charge.  
	The church auditorium would not seat the large crowd present and the 
floral offerings were profuse.
	Her favorite poem was read in the church as follows:
	Present and evening star
	----one clear call for me
	And may there be moaning of the bar 
	When I put out to sea.
	
	But such a tide as moving seems asleep
	---- full for sound or foam
	-----that which draws form out the boundless deep
	Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bells
	 And after that the dark 
	And may there be no sadness of farewell
	When  I  embark.

	What though from out our bourne of time and place
	The flood may bear me far,
	I hope to see my Pilot face to face
	When I have crossed the bar.
