SERGEANT CSA
Company D 45th Tennessee Infantry
Civil War Confederate
March 6, 1842 - March 9, 1900
*Obituary
Rogers Democrat
Thursday, March 15, 1900
OAKLEY, D.A. - D.A. Oakley died at his home in this city on Tuesday afternoon at a few minutes past four o'clock. He had been ill for some time and his death had been almost daily expected for the past week. His death was caused by Bright's disease. The funeral services were held from the M.E. church, South on yesterday afternoon at half past one o'clock and were conducted by Rev. Martin. A large number of sorrowing friends were present to pay their last sad respects to the memory of the deceased. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Oakley's Chapel, three miles west of town. D.A. Oakley was born in Bedford Co., Tenn. on March 6, 1842, being thus only a few days past 58 years of age at the time of his death. He came to Benton county in 1868 and a year later he returned to Tennessee for his bride, Miss M.C. Brame, who accompanied him back to his Arkansas home. They were among the early settlers of this section of the county and endured all the privation and hardship of that time. The deceased leaves a wife and five children: Misses Anna and Lula Oakley and Messrs. W.B., O.A.P. and Edgar Oakley. Of his own brothers and sisters, seven are still living: Mrs. W.B. Horsley and Mrs. C.E. Smith; W.J. Oakley of Oakley's Chapel; T.H. Oakley of Gentry and B.F. and H.A. Oakley of this city. Mr. Oakley became a citizen of Rogers in 1883 and was for seventeen years actively engaged in various enterprises here. More recently he was a member of the Rogers Hardware Co. A year ago he retired from the hardware business and removed to his farm south of town. He was in poor health most of the time and the family came back to town late in the fall. His many years in business gave him a large circle of friends and acquaintances throughout this entire section and by all he has been esteemed as a man of high character and worth. His death will be sad news to all who knew him. Mr. Oakley was a democrat in politics though he never took any particularly active part in political affairs. He served several terms as one of the city councilmen.

On account of the serious illness of D.A. Oakley all of the children were called home Sunday. Miss Annie Oakley came down from Monett and Will and Edgar from Springfield. The latter came from the Frisco hospital where he had been for the week past on account of a broken foot, the result of an accident received while braking.
