Funeral Here Tuesday For Well Known Man at Church Church
Burial Was Here.
This community was shocked last Saturday morning when it became known that Arthur G. Ficklin had died suddenly at 6:30 a.m. from a heart attack.
Mr. Ficklin had risen from his bed to lower a window, which he succeeded in locking, and had attempted to return to his bed, and fell. Mrs. Ficklin was awaken by the fall, and immediately called Mr. Blacklock, but death in instantaneous.
Mr. Ficklin had been complaining for some time and a few months ago had gone with his brother, the late Charley Ficklin to Mayo's and went through the clinic at the same time with his brother, and the doctors there told him he had a weak heart and that he would have to be careful. But no one realized that Mr. Ficklin was as bad off as he was.
The following obituary was read at the services which were held at the Christian Church in King City, in charge of Rev. W.C. Whitehouse, assisted by Rev. Henry S. Ficklin, a brother of the deceased, of Owensville, Kentucky.
Arthur Graham Ficklin was born January 17, 1874, in Bath County, Kentucky, and passed away at his home in King City, March 29, 1943. He was the oldest child of Thomas and Mary Young Ficklin. At the age of nine he came with his parents to Missouri in the autumn of 1883, where they lived for a short time in Clinton County. The family moved to Gentry County, near King City, in 1885. The deceased had spent a large part of his life in and near King City, where he loved to live, and among whose citizens he counted many dear friends.
Mr. Ficklin attended the University of Missouri for four years and graduated in 1900. Following this he was Principal of the Brookfield High School for three years, and later an instructor in the Wentworth Military Academy at Lexington, Missouri Since 1907 he has been engaged in farming and gathering bluegrass seed, living in Daviess County for five years, and for the most of the time in Gentry County. Two years ago he moved to King City.
He was married to Miss Frances Alexander, daughter of the late Judge and Mrs. J.W. Alexander, at Gallatin, Missouri, October 31, 1907, who survives him. Mrs. Ficlin has two sisters still living: Mrs. Julia Genner and Miss Rowena Alexander, of Gallatin, and three brothers: George F. Alexander of Juneau, Alaska; Preston C. Alexander of Washington, D.C., and Lawrence Alexander of Gallatin.
The deceased has two sisters surviving, Mrs. J. Newton Darnell of Knob Noster, Missouri, and Mrs. F.M. McCroskey of Kansas City, Kansas, and one brother, Henry S. Ficklin, of Owensville, Kentucky. His father passed away in 1923 and his mother in 1924. A brother, James G. Ficklin, Jr., preceded him in death in 1922 and another brother, Charles L. Ficklin, departed this life only recently, on February 1st of this year.
He was baptized by Simpson Ely at King City fifty years ago. He has been an elder in the King City Christian church (sic) for the past twenty years, and has long been a teacher of a Bible class. The Bible was for him a way of life, and he had no doubts about its integrity. He loved the simple gospel story, and believed it was the answers to the desires and the needs of the human heart. He hated pretense and vain-glory and was a lover of the true and the beautiful and the good. The standards of morality which the Bible sets forth he considered the highest in the world. His merits were those which his Lord had put upon him. For the lessons of life and for comfort in death he looked to him who said: "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth on me though he die, yet shall he live; and whosover liveth and believeth on me shall never die."
The burial was in the King City cemetery (sic).
