Eight Sons of Bid Drennan Escort His Remains to The Grave.

Mansel Fieldon Drennan or "Bid" as he was familiarly known. He was born Oct 15, 1838 and died May 28, 1918, was 79 years, 7 months, and 13 days old. He was married to Jane Towery, Jan. 21, 1870. To this union was born two children, Corda and Idella, the latter dying in infancy and its mother following it to the grave in a few days. Corda married N.B. Fox and survives her father. He was married to Martha Ann Woolf, March 3, 1878. To this union was born ten children: Albert, Claude and Alva of Mo., Will, Ben, Virgil, Guy and Raymond, Zelpha, wife of Fate Orr and Mabel, wife of Victor Hillyard all of this county. They with his wife survive him. He professed faith in Christ in early manhood and never united with any church but was a Baptist in belief and lived a faithful Christian to the end. He had been afflicted for a number of years and during the intense suffering of his illness he prayed for the end to come that he might be relieved from his suffering.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. W.T. Oakley in the Sugar Grove Church, in the presence of a large congregation, the Pall bearers were Uncle Bid's own boys, Albert, Claud, Alva, Will, Ben, Virgil, Ray walked just in front of the remains, and Guy, just behind. The daughters-in-law placed the flowers on the grave.
Uncle Bid was a good man and he and his faithful wife has given to the world a splendid family of men and women. He was a faithful husband and loving father and a splendid neighbor. His word was as good as his hand and he instilled this principle into his children. His remains were laid to rest in the Sugar Grove Cemetery.
