Services For Osby Dillard Held Tuesday

William Osby Dillard was born at Iuka, Arkansas on October 20, 1883. He was united in marriage to Miss Amie Seay of the Pleasant Grove community on September 13, 1904. To this union was born two children: James Luther Dillard, now living in Wenatchee, Wash., and Mrs. Irene Pearl McClelland of Kansas City, Mo.

Other than his widow and two children he is survived by a sister, Mrs. Mollie Russell of Calico Rock and six grandchildren--Mrs. Donaly Ducker of Calico Rock, Mrs. J. R. Knowles of Mountain Home, J. L. Dillard of Wenatchee, Wash., and Keith McClelland of Kansas City. He is also survived by seven great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by four brothers and one sister.

At an early age he joined the Spring Creek Methodist Church and later moved his membership to the Iuka Methodist Church where he was a trustee and church leader until his death. Many people stated that if it had not been for his Christian leadership the church might have not had the influence on the life of the community that it has had. He was a member of the school board for many years and up until his death. He was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge giving great leadership to both the lodge and the school board.

He will be remembered and loved both far and near, by people in high positions and by just the plain people who lived around him.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, June 26 at 3 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church at Pineville, Rev. Charles Casteel of Calico Rock officiated. Burial was made at Pineville Cemetery under the direction of the Hall Funeral Home.
