Obituary: Pioneer Dies Suddenly - John HAGAMAN Answers the Last Call
Early Saturday Morning. John Justin HAGAMAN, one of the pioneers
of Macoupin county died suddenly at his home on First South street this
city, at 6:30 Saturday morning. He had been affected with pleurisy for
the past two months but was not confined to his home. He had been examined
by two or three physicians. While he did not have much strength, yet he
went about town as usual. Friday afternoon he was about town as usual,
and retired at night early, as he was not feeling so well. About 9 o'clock
he woke up with a severe spell of coughing, which it appears produced a
hemorrhage. A physician was called and stopped it. He went to sleep and
rested well till 6 o'clock this morning. When he awoke he asked his wife
to start the furnace. While she was in the basement her sister Mrs. Kate
CAIN heard him breathing heavily and found him unconscious. A physician
was sent for but it was too late. He passed away at 6:30. The deceased
was born at Salt Lake, Bath County, Kentucky, January 16, 1835. He came
to Illinois when but sixteen years of age. He worked on the farm for pioneers
in the Chesterfield vicinity and by hard work secured enough means to purchase
a farm, the present HAGAMAN homestead in Western Mound. He resided
on this farm most of his active life. Eight years ago he gave up farming
and for the past six years has resided in his property in Carlinville.
The first wife of deceased was a Mrs. HUBBARD who did not live but
a short time. He was afterwards married to Miss Jane READER, daughter
of the late Pascal READER. To this union several children were born,
two of whom are still living, John Justin HAGAMAN of Bird and George
HAGAMAN of Reader. About twelve years ago, his second wife died.
Sometime before moving to Carlinville he was married to Miss Annie FLANAGAN,
daughter of the late Martin FLANAGAN of Hagaman, who survives him.
The funeral of John HAGAMAN was held Monday morning at Shiloh Baptist
church. The remains accompanied by a large concourse of relatives and friends
left the home in Carlinville at 8 o'clock. The funeral sermon was delivered
by Rev. D. P. DEADRICK, lifelong friend of the deceased who had
been closely associated with the deceased and his family. He preached an
able sermon. All the old neighbors were present to pay their last sad tribute
of respect. The church was not large enough to seat all who attended the
services. The remains were borne to the cemetery on the old Reader homestead
where they were laid to rest near the monument of the late Paschel READER.
The pallbearers were Elmo ETTER, Wm. SURMAN, T. Z. GLEASON,
Aaron LOVELESS, Douglas HOLMES and C. J. LUMPKIN.
In addition to his wife and children he left ten grandchildren, namely
Russel, Callie, Omer, Paul, Ivan and John HAGAMAN of Bird; Mrs.
Viola PARKER of Granite City; James and Truman MCCLAIN of
Polk and Lindle HAGAMAN of St. Louis; two great-grandchildren, Miles
and Dale PARKER of Granite City. Besides his descendants he left

Obituary: Died at his home in Bunker Hill, Ill. on Saturday, Jan.
26, 1901, at 11:30, Stephen F. HALE, aged 77 years, 10 months and
8 days. The funeral services will be held at his late residence on Wednesday,
Jan. 30, at 2 o'clock p.m. under the auspices of Bunker Hill lodge, No
151, A.F. & A.M., Rev. E. FRAME, pastor of the Congregational
Church, officiating. Dr. HALE was born March 18, 1823, near Farmington,
MO. After finishing school he read medicine with Dr. SCOTT at Potosi,
MO., and completed his studies at the old McDowell College, St. Louis.
After finishing his medical course he enlisted and experienced active service
in the Mexican War under General PRICE. At the close of the war
he returned to Missouri and located at Warsaw and engaged in the practice
of medicine. He was then 25 years of age. During the "gold fever excitement"
in California he crossed the plains in the fall of '49 and returned to
Missouri via Panama and Boston. He again crossed the plains and was fairly
successful. In due time he returned to Missouri. On the 5th of February,
1852, he united in marriage with Miss Eliza P. HILL, daughter of
Dr. HILL of Warsaw, Mo., where he located and practiced medicine
until the breaking out of the Civil war. He enlisted in the early sixties.
He was in Gen. PRICE's division and took an active part in a number
of important engagements, the most notable being Wilson's Creek where he
was almost mortally wounded. He was paroled in St. Louis and in the spring
of '64 moved to Woodburn, Ill., with his family where he followed his profession
until the winter of '65. He moved to Bunker Hill and opened a drug store
and continued actively in business until the fall of '74, when on threat
of impaired health he disposed of his drug store. In 1878 he started a
private bank, under the name of the HALE Bank. This business did
not seem congenial to him and he soon abandoned it. In 1877 he purchased
a lumber yard of Capt. H. M. PEDAN, at that time the only one here. In
1880 an oposition yard was purchased by F. W. CROSS & Co., which was
purchased by Dr. HALE in 1882, and in 1884 he disposed of his lumber
interests to Andrew CRANDALL, and retired from active commercial
life. Since then, though his health has not been very good, he has occupied
his time in looking after his large and varied real estate interests. In
financial affairs the Doctor was highly successful, due in a large measure
to his indomitable persistance and frugality, coupled with the fact that
he was naturally a man of excellent judgement. He was courteous to all,
exact and scrupulously honest in his dealings. In matters of local enterprise
he could always be depended upon to do his part--in fact was for Bunker
Hill's interest at all times and under all circumstances. In him the deserving
poor ever had a faithful and sympathizing friend. The Doctor never identified
himself with any church. He was a consistent member of the Bunker Hill
lodge No. 151, A.F. & A.M. In politics, he was a Jeffersonian Democrat,
and firmly believed that the perpetuity of civil and religious liberty
in this country solely depended upon the success of his party's principals.
His widow, Mrs. Eliza P. HALE and the following children survive
him: Jas. B. HALE, Centerview, Mo.; Gustavus A. HALE, Chattanooga,
Tenn.; Thomas HALE of this city; Mrs. Mamie C. REINHARDT,
Roberts, Ill.; Samuel B. HALE, Carlyle, Ill.; Mrs. Nellie DAVIS,

Was reported killed in action on the battlefield of France, July 28, 1918.
Making his stay here 24 years, 9 months and 10 days. Allen's school life
began in the public schools at Shipman, Ill., where he went until his parents
moved to Grove, Hilyard Township, where he finished the eighth years work
at the age of 14 years. He attended the Bunker Hill Military Academy four
years from 1910 to 1914, graduating with highest honors. He remained at

until he answered his country's call enlisting October 16th, 1917, in the
33rd. Div. 108th U.S. Engineers and went to Camp Logan Houston, Texas.
He sailed for France in May 1918. Allen was of a quiet, kind and sympathetic
disposition, always ready and willing to help his fellowmen, which was
the means of his making many friends wherever he went. He never forgot
home and loved ones and many cheerful, helpful letters were written from
his work while in Chicago to his loved ones at home, and when at home on
a short vacation he always found time to call upon his near friends. Since
his enlistment his letters home were full of patriotism and for what a
noble cause the boys were fighting for. The last letter received by one
of his aunts said he never expected to see home again. Allen did not get
a furlough since going to camp, but sailed for France without bidding his
loved ones goodbye. Anyone so brave is now in the home where good-bye's
are never spoken. Allen was from a devoted family and is survived by is
parents, one grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth HALLIDAW (HALLIDAY)
and the following sisters and brothers: Edith, Gladys, Morris and Johnnie,
one sister having passed away in infancy. Besides other Halliday and the
following sisters ends the life of one of our solider boys. May it be said

and gave our life for a noble cause." A friend. Our dear one thou
hast left us, Gone to brighter realms above. And we know that thou art
happy, In our dear Redeemer's love. Still we cannot help but miss thee
And we would that thou had stayed, But God's will be done, not ours And
in Him our trust is laid. Our dear boy we'll ne'er forget thee Nor thy
noble earnest way Always thinking first of others Even to thy latest day.
We will fight the cause of freedom, Working harder in this strife, Till
we rid the world of tyrants For which cause thou gave thy life. H.H.

Obituary: Mrs. Julia BLAKE BEACH HAMILTON died May 11, 1899,
at the home of her son-in- law Mr. F.O. HOBART. Her illness was
heart disease, and was very brief. Her remains were taken to Woodburn,
Illinois, by her step-son Mr. W.H. HAMILTON for burial. Mrs. Julia
BLAKE BEACH HAMILTON was the daughter of Rev. Robert BLAKE,
a minister of the Congregational church. It was during her 14th year that
her father with his family settling at Woodburn, Illinois, organized the
Congregational church at this place. From here, she was sent to finish
her education at the Ladies Seminary at Jacksonville, Illinois, after which
she taught school and her marriage to A.W. BEACH in 1838. Six children
were born to them, five of whom preceded their mother to the better land;
only one, a son, Mr. James Alford BEACH, of Chicago, survives to
mourn her death. In December, 1852, she was married to Mr. William HAMILTON,
in this new relationship, assuming the care of six step-children. By the
death of her husband in 1868, she became a widow for the second time and
with two children of this marriage, Mrs. F.O. (Carrie) HOBART and
Austin Zeno HAMILTON of Chicago. She came to Florence, Kansas, in
May, 1878, where she has since resided. She was a member of the Presbyterian
church of Florence. She was always in her place in the sanctuary when her
health would permit, and her earnest face was a help and inspiration to her pastor.
Her religious life dated back to her early childhood. She has
spoken of searching questions put to her by her father when she a child
desired to unite herself with the church, and satisfied himself she understood
what it was to be a child of God. For many years, our dear mother has lived
her simple, beautiful life among us, surrounded by those she loved, her
children and grandchildren; and now that we shall see her face no more,
we are asking the question, How can se live without her? Only yesterday,
she was moving about among us, feeling brighter and happier than usual,
so busy for others- - - - waiting upon her sick daughter, talking cheerfully
about plans for the morrow, and later, when other duties are done going
into her beloved garden and dropping in flower seeds that, blooming, by
and by, will be a fresh reminder of the one that so loved the flowers.
We can never forget that last evening meal with her, and the enjoyment
she took in it. Then doing her little chores for the night, reading her
scripture and retiring - -only to be awakened soon after midnight, with
a new, strange feeling as she herself expressed it, and which she recognized
as the call of the Master, and after bidding goodbye to the loved ones
about her, she gently sank to "sleep in Jesus".
