William Scrivner - William, son of John and Emsy Scrivner, was born in Fulton County, Ill., April 6, 1852, and passed away at Maryville, Mo., Nov. 14, 1931, being 79 years, 5 months and 9 days of age. The early part of his life was spent with his parents on a farm in Illinois, coming overland to Iowa in 1870, where he was employed as a herdsman when the country was an open prairie. He was one of the first mail carriers, having a route from Hopkins to Shambaugh. Uncle Billy never enjoyed the privileges most of us have, not being able to walk, but always found something he could do. He was a merchant in Siam for a number of years, and while residing there was converted and joined the Methodist Church and was a regular attendant at Sunday school and Church services. About 23 years ago he sold the store in Siam and built a home in Hopkins, where he was weigh master as long as his health permitted. He leaves to mourn his going, two sisters, Mrs. Mary Kent of Boise City, Idaho and Mrs. [Emily] Josephine Jared of Bedford; a half-sister, Mrs. Minnie Saunders of Lorimor, Ia.; a half-brother, Jasper Scrivner, and a number of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church in Bedford, Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. M. R. Talley. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery.
