Daughter of Willard Wilbur and Laura Amelia Wood Padgett. Died of complications of Typhoid Fever.
Death of Agnes Padgett
The Bright Little Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Padgett Passed Away Early This Morning
From Wednesday's Daily
Agnes Padgett, the fifteen-year-old daughter of Attorney and Mrs. Willard W. Padgett, who has lain critically ill for many weeks, passed peacefully away at 2:45 o'clock this morning at the Padgett residence, 1223 South Judson Street. Death was due to typhoid fever and subsequent complications. It was eight weeks ago tonight that little Agnes was taken sick. For a fortnight the inexorable reaper seemed hovering over the fevered and emaciated form, but the heroic fight to save the child's life never wavered, and hope for her recovery was never abandoned by the anxious ones who were at the bedside during the trial time of the child's suffering.
Fewer cases of child sickness challenged the wide attention attending this case. Scores of inquiries were registered daily to ascertain the status of the little one's condition. Yesterday a faint ray of hope was apparently manifest but it was perhaps the mistaking of the approach of death, for it was of short duration, and was succeeded by evidences of weakness, and the child lapsed into a semi-conscience state from which she never recovered. The early hours of last evening brought no change for the better and the family physician advised that the end could be expected at any time. The child had realized the extreme seriousness of her condition, but firmly believed that she would recover. A change for the worse produced drowsiness and falling asleep Agnes Padgett's spirit started on its eternal leave-taking.
There is something unusually sad about the death of this little girl, whose years were approaching the dawn of young womanhood. Her long sickness, with all its suffering, never shattered the Christian patience she so early in life developed. Probably the last time her friends saw her was in Convention Hall when the schools celebrated the closing of the term. Agnes was graduated with the Main Street students to the Central and in another term she would have entered the high school. She had specialized in elocution, displaying some inherent talents of this art. She gave a dramatic recital followed by a pantomime of "The Holy City," assisted by her classmates. Soon after this she fell sick and was never afterwards able to leave her home.
Agnes was a member of the First Methodist Church. From infancy she had attended the Sunday school there and participated in the juvenile undertakings of that church organization. The Sunday was never too rainy or inclement for her to remain away from Sabbath school. A child of deep and abiding piety, with a love of home and church, she proved a blessing to both and the lesson learned from the brief stay on earth of this one will be a treasured memory of all who came in contact with her life. She bore a faith through her long sickness that all would end well and the members of the home whose hearts are wrung with poignant grief over the death, find a healing for their grief in this same faith, for of such child faith is the kingdom of heaven.
Agnes Padgett was born in Fort Scott and knew no other environment than the Fort Scott home, church and schools. She was fifteen years old the eight day of the month. She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.W. Padgett. Fred Padgett, a student of the state university was called here several days ago and remained to the end.
The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from the Padgett home and will be in charge of Rec. E. M. Evans, of the First M E. Church. Burial will be made at Evergreen near the grave of the deceased's older brother, Raymond who was killed in Iola a few years ago.
The funeral of the late Agnes Padgett, who died early yesterday morning, was held this afternoon at 4 o'clock from the residence and was in charge of Rev. Evans. The services were quite largely attended and burial was made at Evergreen.
