FINAL TRIBUTE H. V. EAGLESON
"Dad," Colored Political Leader, Preacher and Barber, is Laid To Rest in Rose Hill Cemetery
Practically every colored man, woman and child in Bloomington and many of his white friends attended the funeral of Rev. H. V. Eagleson this afternoon and rode behind the body to the grave at Rose Hill cemetery. The services were held at the 6th street church where Dad had been a leading member for years and where he had often preached .
Rev. Washington had charge of the services and the talk he made and the singing were impressive. After the services at the church a long line of automobiles moved out to the cemetery and Dad's body was consigned to the grave. There was much real mourning among the colored people for Dad was a friend to every one of them, and many a white man recalled one or many kindnesses with that particular pull at the heart strings the presence of death always brings.
The palbearers were William Matthews, Jr., Thomas Chandler, Will Ray, Commodore Terril, James Jackson and Pleas Evans.
