PRESLEY, Joe - (from Hiwasse) Mr. Presley, an old time resident who lived some miles north of Hiwasse, died Friday morning and was buried in Gamble cemetery Saturday. His health had been failing for some time, having suffered a hemorrhage a month or two ago. A short time ago Mr. Presley stated that he had never asked for credit since he had a home of his own.

(from Centerton) We buried Uncle Joe Presley Saturday. He was born in Tenn. in 1837; went with his parents to Green Co., Mo. when a small boy; was married to Louisa Trentham in 1860 and moved to this county in 1868. He was the father of 10 children, seven of whom are living and six of them were present at the funeral. He lived in this vicinity a number of years but at the time of his death resided in Gordon Hollow. He bore the name of a quiet, peaceable man. He joined the Missionary Baptist church when young, lived in the faith of Christ the rest of his life and when near the end left the testimony that all was well.
