Delphos Carrier, April 29, 1887
Hamilton G. Bagnall was born in Coshocton County, Ohio March 10, 1856 and died in Delphos, Kansas, April 21st, 1887, age 31 years, 1 mo. and 11 days. He removed with his parents to Wisconsin when two years of age and lived there until 1876, the family removing in that year to Minneapolis, Kansas. Since that time he has lived in this county with the exception of one year when he was absent on the Pacific coast, returning to Kansas in Jan, 1886. He was married to Mrs. Emma Smith Dec 26, 1880. Two children, both of whom are now deceased, were born as the issue of this marriage, one dying at the age of twenty months, the other, Virginia Lillie, dying this month, and was buried in the same grave with its father. Mr. Bagnall had been in the employ of Leideigh & Havens as manager of the Kansas Lumber Co. for eight years, building up their large business in this place. He was thoroughly trusted by his employers and enjoyed their confidence as perhaps no other man did. He was a member of the Masonic Order, the Odd Fellows and the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He leaves a father and mother and two children, and who are devoted Christians and members of the M.E. Church; two sisters and one brother. His sickness was not of long duration but painful during its continuance. He enjoyed during his sickness the most untiring devotion and attention of his wife, his employer and his numerous friends, and all that medical skill could do was done to turn aside the shaft of death, but with no avail. The Messenger comes and we must obey the call. There is no discharge in this war. Although the death of H.G. Bagnall had been expected for some days, yet when it was announced last Friday at 8:30 that he was dead there fell a gloom over our little city, such as it had, perhaps, never before known. Mr. Bagnall was a citizen whom everybody in the wide circle of his acquaintance respected. Besides the care of the Kansas Lumberyard, which received his special attention, he was burdened with the great desire to advance the highest interest of the city of Delphos and to provide for and protect the interest of his family. By his careful foresight, his widow will be the recipient of a comfortable competence from two life insurance policies. No man whose body has ever gone down to the tomb from our quiet little city will be missed more than our esteemed fellow citizen, H.G. Bagnall.
Elder Lockwood, of Salina, assisted by Rev. J. Ingram, of this city, conducted the funeral services at the Opera Hall last Tuesday. His remains with that of his little daughter were followed to the Delphos Cemetery by the mourning relatives in one of the largest processions ever witnessed in this city on a similar occasion. Acting on a request made by Mr. Bagnall before his death, the body of his little son Wellie, who died about two years ago was exhumed and the father, son and daughter were buried side by side in the same grave.
