FRANK LEDFORD DEAD
Frank Ledford, an old and respected citizen of Putnam County, died at his home near Elko, Saturday, Aug. 2. Mr. Ledford had been ill for sometime, and although death was not unexpected, it was nonetheless, a great shock to the community.
The funeral services were held at the home Sunday, with burial in the Ledford Cemetery. Mr. Ledford leaves to mourn his departure a wife and five children- two sons and three daughters; and a host of other friends and relatives.
OBITUARY
George Franklin Ledford was born Sept. 9, 1846, and departed this life Aug. 2, 1913, being at the time of his death 65 years, 10 months, and 23 days of age. He was united in marriage to Martha A. Garlock on Apr. 12, 1870. To this union were born six children, Mrs. Essie Jones of Unionville, Mrs. Anna Mulanix of Moberly, Mrs. Sarah Jane Martin, deceased, Mrs. Mattie Schuster, H.W. Ledford, and Lucian Ledford.
He was the youngest son of Capt. G.W.R. Ledford, whose family has now all passed away, except two of Mr. Ledford's sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Shaw and Mrs. E.A. Gillum.
Mr. Ledford was born on the farm on which he lived at the time of his death, and the crowd that was present at his funeral spoke far better than words could have done, of how much he was loved and respected. There was a crowd of 300 or 400 people present. His funeral was preached at the home and the body was laid to rest in the Ledford Cemetery near his home. He had been a member of the United Brethren Church since he was fifteen years of age. He said the day before he died that "everything was working out for the best" and asked that some songs be played for him a few hours before he died. He said he had nothing to fear in death. He also leaves twelve grandchildren and many other relatives to mourn his death. He had been sick nearly five years, being afflicted with diabetes. All was done for him that possibly could be done, but all in vein.
