Putnam County Obituaries - Lewis Watson Huston
This obituary was probably published in the Unionville Republican of Putnam County, Missouri, date unknown; heading was cut off.
A Valued Citizen Gone to His Reward
Lewis Watson Huston, son of Thomas W. and Catherine Huston, was born in Monroeville, Ohio March 21, 1870 and died in Kirksville, Missouri November 15, 1913 at 7:30 p.m., having completed 43 years, 7 months and 24 days.
He united in marriage with Florence Virginia Clapper, daughter of Lewis A. and Mary E. Clapper, April 1890. Their union was blessed with five children, two of whom died in infancy. The living are as follows: Edward
Austin 17, Lewis Oglesby 13, and Clark Watson 4. Besides his wife and children he leaves to mourn his loss of his father Thomas W. Huston and three brothers as follows: John W. of Putnam County, James D. of Seattle,Wash., and C. C. Huston of Unionville, Mo. The funeral service was held from the Christian Church which the deceased had long been a faithful member. Rev. R.E.L. Prunty of California, Mo., former pastor and close friend of the family for years conducted the service, assisted by Rev. Harper of the
Methodist church. At the close of the service the body was taken to the family burying ground and in the presence of a large company of sorrowing relatives and friends, tenderly laid away in the windowless home of the dead.
A princely man has fallen and the community mourns his loss. Tried by all the standards by which we determine the real measure of a man, Lewis Huston easily stood the test. His domestic life was crowned with the love and confidence of wife and children, which his manly love and fatherly
affection so richly merited, and which his fidelity and ceaseless devotion so easily won. He loved himself last. His first and dearest concern was for his loved ones in his home. And in memory of his noble manhood his fidelity
and deathless devotion, he has left to his wife and children a heritage
"richer far then twenty seas, that all their sands were pearl, their rocks pure gold or their wasters purest nectar."
(the next paragraph, which is omitted, is a long oratory of tribute to the deceased)
The active pallbearers were as follows: Clint Patrick, Henry Haigler, George Miller, Stewart Hayward, Reason Culler and E.L. Misak. The honorary pallbearers were: Herrman Bernaker, Dr. C.H. Carryer, Dr. E.J. Geisinger,
Wesley Nolan, Saul Smith, W.W. Shelton, F.H. Wentworth, J.U. Brown, Elihu Haigler, John Means, J.V. Logan, William C. Clapper, Jett Clapper, Frank Huston, William Wymore, Cloe Tingley, John Parker, Neal Marshall, Stewart Haigler, Everett McCutchen, Nelson Franklin, Pearl Tattman,
Harrison Smith, Fred Elson, George Tate, Everett Staats, Charles Smith and H. Haynes.
He is gone from us but the memory of his splendid manhood will remain with us like the odor of rich perfume long after the vase is broken. I join the multitude in sympathy with the family in this time of bereavement.
