Obituary of William C. Baugh
William C. Baugh, an old gentleman well known in this community for the past thirty-three years, and highly respected by everybody, passed away last Monday evening, Jan. 20th, aged 75 years and 11 months. His death occurred at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wellington Jackson, on South Vine Street, where he had been making his home. Father Baugh had been feeble for a long while, but his final illness was only of one week duration - having been attacked by bilious fever and inflammation of the stomach on the Monday before his death. His two daughters, Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Harry Van Epps, were with their father constantly during his illness, but their tender care and loving ministry could not prolong the life of the aged father whom they loved so dearly.
Mr. Baugh was a native of Kentucky, having been born in that state in 1826, but the greater part of his early life was spent in Hendricks County, Indiana. In 1851 [sic-should be 1850], he was united in marriage to Miss Lucy Phillips. About thirty-three years ago they came to Jasper County, settling first in Richland Township, but for many years the family home was in this vicinity. His companion died on Aug. 5th, 1893. He leaves three daughters and one son: Susie, wife of J. Smith of Plattsmouth, Neb., Dicy, wife of Wellington Jackson, and Ada, wife of Harry Van Epps, both of this city; and Arthur A. E. Baugh, principal of the schools at Gold Hills, Nevada.
Father Baugh had been a member of the M. E. Church for many years, and has now gone to enjoy the reward for a long life of faithful work in the vineyard of the Master. The funeral services were held at the Jackson home yesterday at 1 o'clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. C. Willits. ~ The Newton Record, Thursday, January 23, 1902, Page 1, Column 6
