Eli C. Eaglesfield was born at Binghamton, N. Y., March 21, 1851, and passed away at the home of his son, Perl E. Eaglesfield in Joplin, Mo., January 17, 1925, at the age of 73 years, 9 months, and 26 days.
Mr. Eaglesfield was a trainer of race horses and was hurt internally while in a race last August, which was primarily the cause of his death, though paralysis hastened the end.
About five weeks ago his son, Perl, went to Springfield Ill., and brought his father to Joplin, where he was most tenderly cared for. His son, Ralph, and wife were also with him during these last anxious weeks.
Mr. Eaglesfield was the son of Susan Simmons and John George Eaglesfield. When about twenty-one years of age he was converted and joined the church.
In 1881 he was married to Celestia A. Newell, who died in Gentry, in February 1902. To this union were born 5 children: Mrs. E. R. Maxson of Milton, Wis.; Guy E. of Bisbee, Ariz.; E. Ralph of Timpas, Co.; Perl E. of Joplin, Mo.; and Mrs. Tacy Kerr of Milton, Wis. There are also left ten grandchildren.
Mr. Eaglesfield was a man of most excellent character and will be remembered and mourned by many friends. He came to Gentry in 1901, and lived here about fifteen years. Many friends remember how he had to be both father and mother to his children after the death of his wife, and they can also recall how nobly he fulfilled his mission.
The farewell service was held in the Seventh Day Baptist church in Gentry, Sunday afternoon, January 18. As pastor Severance was away on a missionary trip, Rev. Mr. Huges of the Congregational Church conducted the service, and the remains were laid to rest by the side of his wife in the Gentry cemetery.
