MILDREN 'LOIS' CROSSON BACHER 05 Apr 1923 - 12 Apr 2011 |
M. Lois Bacher, longtime resident of Ridgeway Apartments in Mountain View, died Tuesday, April 12, at the Mountain View Health Care facility. She was 88. A memorial is planned for a later time. Yarber Mortuary in Mountain View has been of great assistance. Mildren Lois Crosson was born in Geary, Oklahoma, to Earl L. and Mildren Tyree Crosson on April 5, l923. She attended Ponca City High School where she played the bass violin in the school orchestra. After graduating with the class of '41, she married Rossie E. Bacher of Uncas, Oklahoma, on November 21, 1942, in the First Christian Church in Ponca City. This union produced us-her daughters Lynn and Kay. We were privileged to live in an area which is now part of the Ozark Scenic Riverways National Park. A part of her will always remain in that beautiful spot now known as Bacher's landing. She was a homemaker, working occasionally outside her home at Mountain View Elementary School and St. Francis Hospital. For a time, she did machine quilting in her home. She was a voracious reader and prodigious crocheter. Family and friends will remember her by the works of art disguised as baby blankets, doilies, and tablecloths which she generously distributed to all. We'll also remember her strong will, her sometimes sharp tongue, and her lively interest in politics and world events. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Rossie; her brothers Lex and his wife Annys, Loren, Larry, Don and his sweet Betty. Her daughters Lynn Thompson and husband Dale of Bellvue, Missouri, and Kay Lawson and husband Barry of Winona, Missouri; her brother Leon and his wife Mary of Arcadia, OK; and grandchildren Mark (Sherrie) Thompson, Peace Valley; Amanda Lawson, Florida; Kristopher Lawson, Anchorage, Alaska; and lots of nieces and nephews survive her. Her life was long and happy. Though she suffered from cancer in her early 50's, she survived and thrived for over thirty years. She enjoyed her family, her friends and her independence until just a few weeks before her death. Her final days were eased by the loving staff at Mountain View Health Center and by caregivers of Hospice Compasses. We would encourage you to donate to those fine institutions.

Community Church by the Rev. Vincent W. Bucher. He and Melba made their
home at Columbia, MO where Darel was a Junior at University of Missouri
School of Agriculture. In 1956, they moved to Summersville, MO where

arguing. Darel was overjoyed to find that another neighbor, Gale Huffman
provided him with his second-most loved hobby, attending auctions, where
he and his friend, Bob North looked for bargains. Neighbor Pat Emott
hurried over one cold night to rescue Darel when one of his projects
left him imprisoned among big hay bales in the barn. In remembering each
of these good friends, Darel would always say, "If I had looked all over
Phelps County, I couldn't have found better friends and neighbors. We
have been so blessed." Darel is survived by his wife, Melba of the home;

Two smiling blind eyes are sleeping, a voice we loved is still. The one who did so much for us is resting on the hill. It broke our hearts to lose you, Dad, but you did not go alone...For part of us went with you the day God called you home. We mourn for you in silence, we often speak your name, but all we have are memories and a picture in a frame. Though absent, you are always near, still loved....still missed....still very, dear.

In Loving Memory of DON BARKLEY - 8 Oct 1928 - 31 Jul 1982 - 'On what would have been your 80th Birthday' - You live on in your grandson's smile, Your brother's humor, In the memories of those you left behind. You live on at the site of the sale barn and the truckload of cattle driving by. You live on in the sound of a hammer driving nails and the sledge hammer pounding fence posts into the earth. You live on in re-runs on TV of Old West Shootouts and Mickey Spillane detective stories; of your voice singing Elvis and Hank Williams songs, and when we remember your love of dancing. You live on when we see the auction notices posted on the window at the cafes and farm stores, and the pick-up truck pulling a trailer of livestock. You live on in our hearts, Dad. We love you and we miss you. 'Beside me once more, in peaceful silence, softer than a feather, cast adrift upon the breeze, In memories, your spirit, immortal, returns.' ~ Family of Don Barkley. ~ The Current Wave.

NORA E. HARDER BARKLEY BARNETT 06 Nov 1874 - 20 Jun 1908 |
Nora E. Harder Barkley Barnett - Wife of R. L. Barnett and daughter of Judge Harder, yielded up her life on the 20th inst., and has gone to join the innumerable host beyond the tomb. Deceased was born in Shannon County Nov. 6, 1874, and her age at the time of passing to the better world was 34 years, 7 months and 14 days. At an early age she was joined in wedlock to Mr. John Barclay, who preceded her to the spirit world some years since. In time she married again. This time Robt. L. Barnett, whose wife she was at the time of her death. In 1893, she united with the Christian Church, lived a consistent life and held faithful to the last. For several years and the time of her death she was sorely afflicted with lung trouble, and her death was not a surprise to anyone, although she died suddenly. On the morning of the Winona picnic, she came in with her parents and was on the ground the better part of the day, and in the afternoon grew suddenly worse and passed into eternity almost in the twinkling of an eye. Mrs. Barnett was an estimable lady, kind, social, affectionate and affable. Her course through life made her many friends and added to this a pure Christian character, eminently fitted her for a life of happiness beyond the grave. It is true she died young; at an age when life seems bright and anticipation runs high, but maybe for all that it is best. Better to enter into the duties of a higher life while in youth than to feebly drag out a life of old age here. To mourn her loss, she leaves a father, mother, sisters and brothers, a husband and four children. On Sunday her remains were interred in the family burial ground with fitting ceremonies amid a large gathering of friends and relatives. In addition to the above, Judge Harder sent the following: On the day of the picnic, I took my daughter up to Mr. Rich's for rest and dinner; a distance of three hundred yards from the grounds. In the afternoon when we got in the buggy to return, the straps had not been fastened or came loose and the buggy ran against the team and the team ran away breaking the dash board, but soon stopped. Doubtless the exertion in trying to hold her seat in the buggy caused the trouble, but she said she did not know she was hurt. She began coughing and soon the blood gushed from her mouth and nose. She took those near her by the hand and said, 'goodbye,' and passed over to the other side. Funeral services conducted by Bros. Hahn and Despain, and the remains were turned over to the relatives for interment. She was laid to rest in the new cemetery [Pine Lawn Cemetery ] at Winona. The Current Wave, June 25, 1908. |

Interment was in Pine Lawn Cemetery under the direction of the Duncan Funeral Home of Winona. - LAURA FRANCES SMITH PETTY BLAND - Daughter of George and Martha Ellen (BROOKS) SMITH. She was born on January 7, 1911 and was the second child of seven. She was born in the Irish Wilderness of Oregon Co MO. She was a small woman but head strong. She met Pearl Wallace PETTY and on 24 Dec 1929 in Eminence MO they were married. They lived on his farm 5 miles south of Winona MO. Grandma was a very devoted Pentecostal preacher. She read her Bible every day and played gospel songs on her old piano. She quilted, made gardens and canned food, and worked hard around the farm. Her favorite hobby was sewing. She could take measurements of any person, then cut a pattern by those measurements and make clothes. She would take old clothes and cut them up to make quilt scraps. From those she made patchwork quilts to keep us warm in winter. On September 18, 1930, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter, Anna Frances. Anna was born premature, and had no fingernails or eyelashes. She was a very tiny baby. She had very blonde hair when a small child. On June 16, 1936 her second child was born, a son, Wilfred Eugene PETTY. He was a big, healthy infant who had no problems whatsoever. He too was blonde when he was a youngster. Pearl became sick, and on May 17, 1961 he passed away, leaving Laura to fend for herself. She sold the farm and moved into town and rented a small house. She went to work for a local clothing store. Later on, her grand daughter, Anita Seybold, helped her get a job at the Winona Public School lunchroom where she worked for years, from which she finally retired. When she was close to 60 years old Laura married her second husband, Herbert BLAND. He taught her to drive a car and bought her one. She finally got her first drivers license! She was really happy not to be alone and loved Herbert very much. It was a short lived happiness, as he became ill a few years later and he too passed on. In 1980 Laura’s granddaughter, Anita, and husband Roger CAMPBELL, opened a cafe in Piedmont MO, where they lived. Laura went to work for them as a cook and was the happiest she had been since Herbert had died. She loved making pizza for the local teens, who loved her cooking, and would order pizza almost daily. They knew her as 'Grandma' and would come into the cafe and yell 'Hey, Grandma, I want another of those delicious pizza's you make'. She would smile real big and make one up. She loved working there and never once wanted to go home to Winona to even check on her home. The cafe did not work out and because of the slow times it had to be closed. Laura then went back home to Winona, but for years she talked of how much fun she had working there. Laura suffered a stroke and her health began to decline. She slowly got worse, and one day in June, 1989, she was discovered walking outside alone in the wee hours of the morning. Her son, Wilfred 'Gene' drove from Maysville MO and took her home with him. A few days later she laid down on his couch to take a nap and never woke up. “I was very close to my grandmother. She raised me most of my life so she was more of a mother to me. I missed her terribly and still do. She was a very unique person and I treasure all the wonderful memories I have of her. I wish others had known her as well as I did”. Written by her grand daughter, Anita Campbell. |

He wanted to provide for his family and others that were less fortunate. Throughout his years in the community, Lee was part of the Forest Fire Fighting Crew, VFW and assisted in other community functions in Winona, MO and Lake Villa, IL. He had always assisted the less fortunate and provided for individuals in need. In September of 2001, Lee became an ordained minister after his years of teaching in Sunday school. He established men’s fellowship in 2006 for the unity of the Church and the glory of God. Lee wanted to improve awareness of the true goal that is to save the lost souls for God. He held numerous services and ministered to the needs of others. The work he started will blossom as God leads. Lee never lost his sense of humor nor his ability to quote numerous Bible scriptures. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. Funeral services were held Thursday, January 13, 2011 at the Duncan Funeral Chapel in Winona, MO with Rev. Leslie Buckner officiating.

DONALD V.
'DON' BROADFOOT 13 Oct 1925 - 20 Jan 1986 |
Donald V. Broadfoot was born October 13, 1925 at Timber, Missouri, the second son of Lewis and Stella Williams Broadfoot. He passed away January 20, 1986 at St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, at the age of 60 years. As a small boy, Donald began his education at the Sutton's Creek School and finished at the Eminence High School where he received a G.E.D. after his service with the Armed Forces ended in 1946. He served with the 86th Mountain Infantry Division in the Po Valley in Italy, where he specialized as a heavy mortar crewman and sharpshooter. On January 14, 1956 he was united in marriage to Jewell Smith at Mountain. Home, Arkansas and shortly after moved to the Delaware community to make their home with their two daughters, Carole Broadfoot Holland and Cheryl Means Randolph. Donald leaves to mourn his passing his wife, Jewell, of the home; two daughters and sons-in-law, Carole and Larry Holland, and Cheryl and Walter Randolph; his mother, Stella Broadfoot; three grandchildren, Kristin, Richard, and Stephen, whom he loved dearly; two nephews, Lou and James Broadfoot; a niece, Doris Ann Warren; other great nieces and nephews; and a host of cousins, relatives and friends. Donald was self-employed as a farmer, having spent his entire life in a job that he thoroughly enjoyed. He rededicated his life to the Lord and was baptized into the family of Christ at the West Eminence Christian Church several years ago. Donald enjoyed tilling the soil and watching things grow. Man-made monuments held no allure, but he loved to look on the wonders of God's creation, the beautiful hills, valleys and streams and the ever-changing seasons of the Ozarks. He was an avid sportsman and enjoyed pitting his skills against the wild animals that abound in our area. Life certainly won't be the same without Donald as he touched the lives of many people, as he loved to exchange thoughts and ideas with others and enjoyed nothing more than being surrounded by a group of friends and relatives. Although Donald won't walk these hills again and work with the land he loved so well, the evidence is here of the many hours he spent improving the farm he loved and as we see the wind riffling the crops on the land he tended so carefully, who knows but what God in His infinite wisdom and love is allowing Donald to pass lightly over it once again. Funeral services were held Thursday, Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. in the Duncan Funeral Chapel at Eminence with Bro. Rodney Brown and Herald DeWeese officiating. Burial was in the New Eminence Cemetery under the direction of the Duncan Funeral Home of Eminence. |

Upon discharge from the Army, he returned to the Summersville area where he married his high school sweetheart, Beulah Ethel Smith Bryant, on March 23, 1947. He was the parts manager of the Chevrolet garage in Summersville for several years, but his real passion and love was to own and operate a family farm. He and Beulah realized their dream, a farm on K highway where they raised their three children: Shirley, Betty and Steve. It was a favorite hangout for the six grandchildren: Jamie, Jennifer, Peter, Luke, Joe and Seth. The kids and grandkids loved being a part of the many different things that George was involved in through the years; dairy farming, cutting timber, owning and operating the Summersville Sale Barn, and driving the big cattle truck up and down the highway. The grandchildren have many memories of riding with 'Ba' in the long black truck or learning to drive on the farm in his old blue pickup. As the great-grandchildren, Tyler, Adrianna, Ethan, Jourdain, Alexander, Connor, Joey and Bryant, began arriving, George and Beulah moved back into town and a new generation began making memories in the brick house on the corner of 5th and Main Street in Summersville. Many of those memories involved seeing 'Ba' on his lawn mower as he moved around the community. George is survived by his wife, Beulah, of the home; daughter, Shirley and husband, Gary Whiteis, of Springfield; daughter, Betty Benham, of Montgomery, IL; and son, Steve and wife, Christy Bryant, of Salem; grandchildren, great-grandchildren, brother, sisters, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.

Two died in infancy and another, a daughter, at the age of 24. She was left a widow in 1888 and in 1890 was married to S.S. Butner, who was at the time the father of three small children. She reared these children and five were born into the family. These all survive except one which died in infancy, and a step-daughter. She was again widowed in 1915. She was reared in a Christian home and at the early age of fourteen was baptized into Christ and remained faithful through the years. She was always ready to do good in time of need. She was often heard to remark that she considered her Christian parents her greatest blessing in life. Her one greatest concern was to attend worship on Lord’s Day. That she might be able to do this, in her late years, she left her home and the association of her children, moved to Mountain View among strangers where there is a Church of Christ. She has been in failing health for some time but suffered very little and only from infirmities of old age. While the day was yet new, on August 2, 1941, at the home of a daughter her spirit very calmly and peacefully left its abode of clay and took its flight into the great beyond. Funeral services were conducted at the Church of Christ Sunday in Mountain View, Mo., under the direction of Burns & Sons of Willow Springs, Mo. Bro. Huston Ferrel paid a very high tribute, to her Christian character and her service to mankind, spoke very ably and earnestly on the way of life eternal to those of us who remain. Her body was placed to rest in the Mt. Zion Cemetery near Winona, Mo., to await the resurrection. – Blessed are they who die in the Lord. The bereaved by her departure are her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, one sister, and a host of other relatives and friends. -One who knew and loved her.
