Mr. Cobb was practically a lifelong resident of this county and had been successfully engaged in farming for a number of years.

The services at the home were in charge of the Reverend G.G. Graber of the Guthrie Baptist Church, who gave prayer, read a portion of scripture from the Book of Job and spoke touching and appropriately of Mr. Cobb's life and his contributions to the Kirkland Baptist Church of which he was a staunch supporter.

"Lovely Babe, how brief thy stay,
Short and hasty was thy day.
Ending soon the journey here,
Pain and grief no more to bear.
Hard it is from thee to part
For it rends the aching heart.
But an heir of glory's gone,
Let the will of God be done.
Pillowed on the Savior's breast,
Sweetly sleep and softly rest.
Soon the morning will restore
The buried babe we now deplore.



417    LEVI LYLE

From: Clarksville Leaf Chronicle

October 28,1928---With the statement, "I am going to shoot at a spot." Levi Lyle, 36 years of age, walked from a room in the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Tom Rye, in the Palmyra community, onto the back porch and fired a bullet from a 32-caliber pistol through his heart about 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Death was instantaneous.

His brother-in-law, Tom Rye, who was with Mrs. Rye, was sitting in the room which Lyle had just left, rushed to the porch and saw Mr. Lyle crumple to the floor. The muzzle of the revolver was placed so near the body when fired that the clothing was ignited.

Despondency over ill health is believed to have caused the suicide. Mr. Lyle had been in feeble health for a number of years. The Modern Woodmen of America, of which he was a member, six years ago sent him to Denver, Colorado for treatment for TB and 4 years later he was dismissed as cured. Recently his condition had again become serious.

Sheriff G.S. Abernathy and Coroner H.C. Walker were promptly notified of the tragedy and Coroner Walker conducted an inquest over the body. The verdict was that he had come to his death from a bullet fired by his own hands.

The jurors were Vernon Yarbrough, Clarence Jarman, Jim Holly, Frank Sills, Wilson Turberville, Calvin Rankhorn, Sheriff Abernathy and Coroner Walker.

The body was carried by the jurors from the brother-in-law's home to the home of his mother, Mrs. Laura Ellis Lyle of Palmyra community.

Funeral services at the Methodist Church. Burial at Greenwood Cemetery.

Mr. Lyle was the son of the late J.T. Lyle and Mrs. Laura Ellis Lyle of Palmyra.

Mr. Lyle was twice married. His first wife, Mrs. Hettie Yates Lyle of Clarksville died in 1921. Four children of the union survive: Frances 14, Catherine 12, Joseph Thomas 10, and Ruby Aileen 8. The latter child resides with relatives in Chicago.

Mr. Lyle is survived by his second wife, Mrs. Myra Rye Lyle; one brother E.H. Lyle of Muncie, Indiana; and two sisters, Mrs. Rye and Mrs. Pansy Holley of Palmyra.

From: Clarksville Weekly Chronicle

July 10,1886---An old man named William C. Hughes was knocked off the trestle and killed at Vernon Furnace by the southbound passenger train Wednesday night.

From: Daily Tobacco Leaf Chronicle

January 3,1895---Mr. William Elliott died at the home of Mr. Ed Pettus, in New Providence, yesterday afternoon at 4:00. He had been ill for some time and his death was not unexpected. The death of William Elliott removes from Montgomery County one of the best and noblest men who ever lived here. He was born in Virginia in February 1805, and would, therefore, have been ninety years old next month. He moved from Virginia to Vicksburg, Mississippi, and after living near that city for several years he came to Montgomery County and settled in District 3, about nine miles from this city. He has been a citizen of this county for 50 years, and has been a farmer all his life. He was a man of dignity and discretion. He improved his opportunities, held steadfastly to the right and filled his years with usefulness. His character was irreproachable. His record was spotless, and his life bore that character of sublimity which defies expression. He was the father of Thomas M. Elliott, Mrs. Ed Pettus, Mrs. Frank Buckner, Mrs. John Barker, and Mrs. Dr. Ross. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 4:00 from the Pettus residence in New Providence. Interment at the old Elliott burying ground, in District 3.

435    WILLIAM FRANK BUCKNER

From: Clarksville Leaf Chronicle

August 9,1913--Death this morning called from life William Frank Buckner, one of Clarksville most prominent and widely known citizens. While this death is a shock to his friends and family, it did not come altogether as a surprise, as it had been known that his health had not been good for some time. Until within the last few days he had been driving and was down town just a week ago. The end came at 2:10 this morning. Almost without warning he passed away, the immediate cause of his death being heart failure.

His long business career as an inspector and dealer in the Clarksville Tobacco market made him one of the most prominent citizens of this section and his death will be felt far beyond the family circle.

Mr. Buckner was born at Oak Grove, Christian County, Kentucky, June 15,1843, his parents being Frank W. and Sarah E. Gordon Buckner.

Mr. Buckner was educated at Bethel College, Russellville, Kentucky, and at Stewart College, Clarksville. He was a student in the latter institution when Sumpter was fired upon, and as soon as possible he became a member of the Second Kentucky Cavalry, as a private, but in1862 was promoted to Second Lieutenant, which place he held throughout the bloody contest. From 1865 to 1870 he followed farming, but in the latter year made Hopkinsville his home and engaged in the tobacco business as an inspector, until 1883, when he went back to farming. In 1885 he moved to New Providence and followed the tobacco business, but later that year came to Clarksville, where he afterwards became a member of the firm of Parish, Buckner and Co., tobacco Commission merchants, and this firm lasted one year when it dissolved, and Mr. Buckner was elected one of the inspectors of tobacco for Clarksville, and also became a member of the firm of Daniel & Buckner in the stable business. In October, 1887, he was again elected tobacco inspector. About four years ago he and Captain A.F. Smith engaged in the tobacco business here. In his death Clarksville loses one of its pioneer tobacconist and best business men.

He was a man of the highest typed integrity and honor, full of energy and enjoyed the full confidence of the public. In 1867 he married Miss Hattie E. Elliott, daughter of Col. William Henry Elliott, and four children are the fruits of their union. Elliott, Gordon W., Annie and Lewis Buckner. Mr. Buckner was a member of several fraternal orders and religiously was inclined to the Methodist Church, of which his wife is a member.

Reverend W.S. Taylor, of the Madison Street Methodist Church will hold the burial service. the interment will take place at the Elliott burial ground on the Hopkinsville Pike this afternoon at 5:00. The funeral party left the Buckner�s home on Franklin Street at 2:00.

442    WILLIAM R. TOLER

From: Clarksville Leaf Chronicle

March 15,1915--Mr. William R. Toler, a well known farmer of District 9, committed suicide Saturday by hanging himself with a strand of wire in his barn. Mr. Toler left home between seven and eight Saturday morning. Supposing that he was doing some work around the place his family never thought anything of his absence until the non hour passed. When he did not return at this time a search was instituted for him. A member of the family went to the barn which is about 1/4 mile from the house, but the barn doors were locked. Peering through a crack, Mr. Toler�s hat could be seen lying on the floor of the barn. Neighbors were called and a few minutes later Measrs Gibbs, Griffin and Blankenship gained access to the barn and found Mr. Toler�s body suspended by a wire from a callow beam. In his pocket was found a small vial half full of Carbolic acid, also a quantity of rough on rats. It is supposed that Mr. Toler climbed to the top of the barn on the pier poles, and attached the strand of No. 11 fence wire to the callow beam, took the carbolic acid and jumped. The wire was of such a length that the floor of the barn was cleared by about 12 feet.

It is thought that brooding over his ill health and financial straits was the cause of his suicide. He was not a member of any church and is survived by a wife and four children. The body was interred Sunday afternoon at Haynes Burying Ground.

He was buried Sunday at the old family burying ground in Robertson County beside his four infant sons. Appropriate burial services conducted by the Reverend David Lockert. Mr. Rosson leaves a wife and two children, the latter too tender in years to realize the loss of a parent.

Miss Atwood Rosson, who was visiting her uncle�s family two weeks ago, protracted her visit and was there during his illness, and on the evening of his death was herself attacked with violent congestion of the lungs.

From: Clarksville Semi-Weekly Tobacco Leaf

July 23,1889--Polk G. Johnson left for New York on Professional business this week to be absent two or three weeks.

July 30,1889--Sunday afternoon the city was startled by the deplorable announcement that Polk G. Johnson was dead. Mr. Johnson died in New York Sunday morning at an early hour. Early in the day, a telegram was received here announcing his serious illness. This however, did not gain general circulation and the city was unprepared for the unwelcome intelligence flashed over the wires later on that his noble spirit was at rest, his soul with the merciful Father who gave it.

It is not hyperbole to say that this announcement fell upon this people like a pall of sorrow, for there was not a heart in this community, friend or foe to Polk G. Johnson, who did not feel a pang of sorrow that he had passed away. To some the unutterable anguish that it caused is beyond the power of tongue to express or pen to picture. Even his enemies (if he had them) felt that one of nature�s noblemen, one who scorned the arts of the trickster, a noble, manly man, had passed away.

Capt. Johnson died at the Hollman House, New York, whither he went just one week before on important legal business. His remains have been shipped from New York and are expected to arrive on the 8:20 train this evening. His body will be met at Guthrie by sixteen members of Forbes Bivouac, appointed a guard of honor, and conveyed to the city. His funeral will take place at Trinity Church tomorrow morning at 10:00, his old pastor, Dr. P.A. Fitts, of Anniston, Alabama; and Dr. Pittis officiating. Burial at Greenwood Cemetery by Forbes Bivouac, which, by request of Mr. Johnson�s family, has taken charge of this last solemn ceremony.

Shelton, got into an altercation with a negro man, and n the course of the quarrel drew, or began to draw a pistol, either to shoot or frighten the negro. When scarcely out of his pocket the pistol went off accidentally, or was fired by him, and killed a youth, about 15 years old, named Green Prince who was sitting down in front of the parties. The pistol was loaded with four or five buck shot, one of which entered Green�s head, just over the right eye, and another struck a half-dollar in the negro�s pocket. The ball that struck young Prince entered his brain, and though he survived, in an insensible condition till he was conveyed home, yet he died less than one hour.

The ill-fated youth whose life was thus so suddenly taken, had a mother, grand-mother, and other relatives living here, and was well known in town, having been engaged for some months past in selling newspapers. He was a orderly, well-behaved, and very intelligent boy, and the announcement of his sudden and violent death was received, by all, with feelings of unmitigated sadness.

From: The Clarksville Jeffersonian

January 29,1851--Died on the 23, of consumption at the residence of his mother, in this city, Mr. George W. Hiter, in the 29th year of his age.

In the family circle he was a devoted and obedient son and a loving brother; n society, he was polished, graceful and regardful of the feeling of all whom he might be brought in contact; in his morals he was unexceptionable and his resignation on the hour of affliction was almost without a parallel within our knowledge. In addition to these wordly graces, he was a firm believer in the truths of Christianity, and in the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ for the atonement of the truly penitent, and he sometime since during his last illness, gowever, received the ordinance of Baptism, the sign and seal of the cross, and connected himself with the Methodist Church. He died in the confident hope that his sins had been forgiven and that he would rise again to the enjoyment of a blessed immortality. May he realize the full fruition of all his hopes.

Nor be so to sorrow given;
But pray that thou may�st meet him
In high and holy Heaven.

From: Clarksville Democrat

Dec.21,1883--Johnathan H. Mitchell was born in Wayne County, Tennessee, June 13,1825; and came to Clarksville 24 years ago, continuing a citizen until death. He professed Christianity when young, and joined the church. He was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church. He was a man who attended to his own business not wishing to trouble others. He was in good repute with his neighbors. He was a kind man in his family. Brother Mitchell was in feeble health for several years before his death; his feebleness gave opportunity for the excuse of the Christian virtues; them he doubtless exhibited in that circle where all are best known, the home circle. One of the family states �the morning he died we told him that his physicians said that he could not get well and asked him if it was alright and he said all is well, and we have not a doubt but that he is at rest.� His death occurred after much suffering, at 2:10 p.m., December 8,1883. So ends the circle of his mortal life prolonged into a brighter and better.

557    JOHN H. PROUDFIT

From: Clarksville Chronicle

September 3,1840---Died, on Sunday evening, the 30th, after an illness of five days, of Congestive Fever, John H. proud fit, of this place.

Seldom indeed, has our community experienced so severe a loss as in the decease of this worthy and esteemed fellow citizen. Though of retired, secluded habits, his character was known to the world through the medium of active and extensive business operations, having been for many years a prominent and successful tobacco dealer and manufacturer and is was known but to be approved. While he maintained the universal confidence and esteem of those who knew him but partially, he enjoyed no less the friendship and affection of his more intimate and familiar associates. He was just to a proverb, liberal and public spirited, and remarkable for his disinterested charity, and possessed with all a sterling independence of character, which was the crowning jewel of his virtues, and placed his name above cavil and reproach.

Enterprising, but prudent and sagacious in business, he had already, while vet in the midst of manhood, accumulated a considerable fortune. But alas, for the instability of our prospects he has been swept as with the breath of the destroyer from our midst, and from the enjoyment of his toil bought harvest.

We shall not attempt here a labored eulogy. The name of John H. Poudfit does not need it. He leaves behind him the best testimony of his worth - the regret of a whole community.
�Sacred be the good man�s memory!�

562    T.M. BLAND

From: Clarksville Semi-Weekly Tobacco Leaf

October 15,1889---The Memphis Avalanche of the 10 inst., published a letter which revealed the sad fact that the death of Dr. T.M. Bland, whose remains were interred in Greenwood Cemetery on the 10th was caused by suicide. The loss of his wife, formerly Miss Maggie Williams, of this city, and who was buried here a few weeks ago, so preyed upon his mind that he sought refuge in death. His family relations were pleasant and his surroundings in every respect comfortable.

He was last seen alive at 8:00 on Tuesday morning the 8th, when he went to his residence. He was missed for several hours, when his friends, becoming alarmed and fearing that perhaps he had carried his oft-repeated threats into execution, went in search of him. At 3:00 in the afternoon he was found stretched on his bed cold and stiff in death.

On his writing desk lay an envelope addressed, �To the ones who find my body.� inside was a letter full of pathos the outpourings of a broken heart. His troubles were greater than he could bear, and he had, as he confessed therein, sought that repose �where the weary are at rest.�

He requested that his body be brought to this city and buried beside his wife. He left his children well provided for, having accumulated a fair amount of property. He was reared in Memphis, and his sad death caused profound sorrow to his many friends in that city.

His is the first death of any connection of his family since that of his father in 1849.

565    D.A. BRIGHAM

From: Clarksville Semi-Weekly Tobacco Leaf

February 12,1889---The shock occasioned this community by the announcement fo the death of this estimable citizen was truly painful. He died early Sunday morning, at his home on 5th street. Encourging reports sent out from the sick chamber only a few hours previous reassured his friends, who were rejoiced at the prospect of his early restoration. The announcement later that he was no more only intensified the frief of these hopeful but anxious friends. His death is the first that is remembered to have occurred among the clergy of Clarksville, and he, of them all now residents here, seemed less likely to be called. Up to about a month ago he enjoyed robust health, and scarcely knew what it was to be sick. A brother of the deceased furnishes the following facts concerning him.

D.A. Brigham was born on February 15,1848, at the old homestead near Erin, on Wells Creek, and was the oldest of nine children, of whom four brothers and two sisters with an aged father are now living. His early life was spent near Erin, and in 1871 he determined to enter the ministry! He began his studies at once, and in 1872 entered the Cumberland University at Lebanon. After graduation he became the pastor of the church at Trenton, there he went to Union City, then to Dyersburg, where in 1878 he married Miss Ella Brackin, by whom he has five boys, three of whom are living. He came to Clarksville in November 1886 and found a small congregaton of about 50.

No man who ever lived in Clarksville, perhaps, commanded more fully the love and esteem of his felow citizens. His life was given to the service of the Master, and whenever duty called he responded. The good he has done will never be known save by Him who, bade him quit a world of sorrow and care for brighter realms beyond the stars.

Sunday afternoon at 3:30 the resident pastors attended the funeral service at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The Y.M.C.A. also attended in a body. The remains were in charge of the Masons and Knights Templar, of which the deceased was a beloved member. Long before the tinme appointed the church was packed to overflowing. Persons stood in the aisles and crowds thronged the pavements on Franklin & 3rd streets, who never gained access to the church at all.

The memorial service was very impressive. Col. Young, by request of the deceased, read the 23rd and part of the 24th psalms. Reverend H.L. Burney then led in prayer, after which the choir sang, �Safe in the arms of Jesus.� Reverend W.R. Peebles read a portion of scripture and then eulogized the deceased in glowing terms. After this the choir sang �Just as I am.� Reverend W.F. Smith read a portion of scripture. The choir sang, �Thy will be done.� after this the Knights Templer performed their beautiful and impressive funeral service.

The remains lay in state in the church all yesterday morning, where they were viewed by hundreds of sorrowing friends, when they were taken to Erin for interment, escorted by member of his church, friends and relatives.

The death of such a man, is a dad calamity to society and the church. The loss to his family is irreparable, and in theis their hour of sore trial they have the tender sympathy of the entire community. Many prayers will ascend to the throne of God in their behalf.

573    Negro Boy

From: Clarksville Jeffersonian

May 25,1853---Last evening about 7:00 a young lad named John Vauce, was returning from a hunting excursion, and with the intention of scaring a little negro boy about 8 years old who belonged to Mrs. Virginia L. Boyd, playfully pointed his gun towards him, and snapped it two or three times. It went off at the third trial, the charge entering the forehead of the negro, mutilating him horribly and killing him almost instantly. This is but one of the thousand accidents which result from the reckless handeling of weapons, and should be a warning to parents to prohibit the use of them by children. Youths in this neighborhood are allowed the too frequent use of fire-arms, and the wonder is that more accidents have not occurred.

From: Clarksville Chronicle

February 24,1846--Died, at the residence of Samuel Grant, in this county, on Monday morning about 7:00, the 16th, James Richard Grant, in the 27th year of his age.

He left his parents, brothers, sisters and many devoted friends to mourn his loss; but our bereavement is his eternal gain; for he died rejoicing in the hope of meeting his pious relatives and friends, where there will be neither weeping nor mourning.

His great desire was that the unprepared should prepare--and that the Christian would �press forward and secure the prize.�

He desired all to keep themselves unspotted from the �polutions of the world,� and while in health and soundness of mind, live in peace with all men, and seek the favor of God--not to put it off until the pains of the mortal system will mar the pleasures of reflection. His last moments were calm and serene--although his disease, (pulmonary consumption,) had worn him to a mere skeleton. For
�Jesus can make the dying bed,

Feel soft as downy pillows are;
While on his break I lean my head,

And breath my life out sweetly there.�

The devoted parents, and loving relations, feel greatly afflected, and bereaved in the loss of this unusually interesting, and sprightly child. He was the center around which the affections of the family clustered. His bright face, beaming eyes, and sweet disposition, called forth the love of all who knew him. But, sweet little Hiter, thou hast been taken from the cares and ill of this world, and transplanted in a clime more congenial to thy nature---thy freed and happy spirit is now basking in the realms of perpetual bliss; and ye, fond parents, dry your tears---suppress the rising sigh---for, remember, your child is not dead, but �sleepeth�.
