CADDO COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE In and Around South Pioneer AGNES MARCELLA HOOD was born Feb. 1, 1859 near Carl, Ill., and died in Mt. Ida, Arkansas, Dec. 15, 1928, aged 69 years, 10 months and 14 days. She was married to J.F. ROGERS of Carmi in 1876 and to this union five children were born, the oldest dying in infancy. The survivors are MRS. DESSIE CAIN of Houston, Texas; ROBT. E. ROGERS of Fort Cobb, Okla.; ALBERTt C. ROGERS of Carnegie, Okla.; and J. FRANK ROGERS of Fort Cobb. Mr. Rogers died, and she struggled on alone many years. On Aug. 4, 1891, she was united in marriage to HIRAM R. HAYES at Stone Fork, Ill., and to this union two children were born, HARRY S. HAYES of Blue Jacket, Okla.; and MRS. LOLA M. RUST of Mt. Ida, Arkansas. Mr. Hayes preceded her in death in May of this year at Blue Jacket. Mrs. Hayes was converted at the age of 13 years, and lived a beautiful Christian life for 57 years, holding her membership in the Timber Hill Baptist church near Blue Jacket at the time of her death. She was a deep thinker, a consistent reader, a dear friend, and so thoroughly dependable it was a pleasure to be near her. Before going to Mt. Ida in October, she visited with her children and old time friends here, where the family moved from Texas some fifteen years ago. Funeral services were held from the Baptist church of Fort Cobb Friday afternoon, conducted by REV. GEO. WILSON of the local church, and of which church two of her sons are deacons. He was assisted by REV. R.K. McGREGOR of Carnegie. The casket was covered with beautiful flowers, a symbol of the life she lived. Interment was made in the Fort Cobb cemetery at her request. She also chose the songs and text, and had asked her son-in-law of Mt. Ida to conduct the funeral sermon, but since he cherished her as only a beloved son could cherish a mother, he was persuaded not to go on with the request, as the strain was considered too much. On her last visit she repeated these lines to the writer having learned them from her reader when a child in school: "A minute flies, a moment's gone; A moment flies, an hour is run.. The day is fled, the night is here-- Thus flies a week, a month, a year. A year, alas! how soon it is past. Who knows that this maybe my last? A few short years, how soon they're fled, And we are numbered with the dead. Time, like an ever flowing stream, Sweeps us away, our life is a dream-- An empty tale, a morning flower, Cut down and withered within an hour." The community extends heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing relatives, which includes the children, twenty-six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. =====================================================================
