A. J. Eads Dies Sunday Morning At Age of 73
After a lingering illness A. J. Eads passed away at his home in this city Sunday evening at 7:15.
Andrew Jackson, son of Lewis and Pollyanna Eads was born at Bloomington, IN on July 26, 1860. He departed this life March 18, 1934 at his home in Oakland, being 73 years, 7 months and 21 days of age. When a young man about 18 years old, he came to Oakland, IL, working for several years as a farm hand. On Dec. 16, 1886 he was married to Lucinda Jane Curtis of Oakland. By this time he had saved enough money to purchase a farm and on this farm he and his wife started their home. Here all their lives have been lived with the exception of one year which they spent in Oakland seventeen years ago and the last two years which also have been spent in Oakland. He seemed to love every hill and tree on their little farm. No place has been home to Mr Eads except this farm and it was his greatest desire to move back to it.
It was here that his children were born and grew up, three boys and one girl, namely, Charles A. of Oakland, Willis R. of Milwaukee, Wis., Ernest H. of Oakland, and Mabel M. of Chicago. There are also nine grandchildren and one great grandchild. These with the wife are left to mourn the loss of husband, father and grandfather who has been a hard working man and an honorable and upright citizen. What better heritage could he leave his children? Mr Eads was converted about 23 years ago and united with the Fairview M. E. church to which he has been loyal. Mr Eads has been in poor health for several years and for the last seven weeks has been confined to his home and bed part of the time. last Friday he suffered a complete relapse and left us on Sunday eve. going to be with his Savior "who giveth his beloved sleep."
Funeral services were conducted from the Fairview church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Montague officiating. Pallbearers were John Dollar, James Dollar, Art Kincade, Wm. Kincade, Sterl Hanner, Chas. Swinford. Mrs Leta Hawkins was at the piano. The choir of the Fairview church sang. Flowers were in charge of Mrs Ida Dollar, Mrs Mamie Shives and Mrs Vera Swinford.
