Waggy....An Old Pioneer, Passes Away Came into Broadwater section 44 years Ago; Lived here continuously. Was Man Who Did HIs Best In Weal OR Woe. [WAGGY's Photos] [A. D. Waggy FGR] Extract from Broadwater News 15 October 1936 Adam D. Waggy who, perhaps, has lived continuously in the Broadwater community longer than any other person, died in a hospital in Scottsbluff Sunday, October 11, at 9:45 A. M. Mr. Waggy had been ill for not quite a week, of pneumonia, and was taken to the hospital the day before he died. He was 75 years old. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon following service in Messiah Lutheran church at 2:30. The Rev. Werner Jesmen, paster of the church, conducted the service. Burial was in the Rose Hill Cemetery. The pallbearers were B. L. VanDruff, Oscar Lindquist, Zoma McMania, Harry Heath, T. A. Batterman, and Peter Riley. Cansday's of Bridgeport had charge of the funeral arrangements. Mr. Waggy was born on October 14, 1860, and if he had lived three more days would have reached his 76th year. He affiliated with the Baptist Church, at Sugar Grove, in his early years. He was married to Louise Jane Wilmoth in Deadwood, South Dakata, on June 15, 1883. Mrs. Waggy died in January 1931. When Mr. Waggy came here he homesteaded on Lee's Creek, about four miles north of Bradwater. Later, during the early kindaid days, he took an additional three-quarters section land on the north table seven and one-half miles northeast of Broadwater. Quite recently, Mr. Waggy sold this land to Dan J. Bowman, and then moved back to his home on Lee's Creek. He was making his home there when he died. Mr. Waggy did general farming and raised cattle throughout the years of his residence here. He was a man who suffered discouragements without losing his belief in the ability of the land here to repay farmers for the efforts they expended on it. And at times during his long residence here enjoyed a full measure of financial remuneration for his effort. He buffeted a dversity with fortitude and optimism. And always looked forward to better times and happier days. While slightly physically incapacitated, it is said of him by a neighbor, that he was unfailingly active and could "do the work of a horse." Those who knew him best say he was a good neighbor, helpful in times of need, and was a friend of everybody. There were eight children in the Waggy family. Three are dead. The surviving children are Jess, of Broadwater; Mrs. Theodore Gilchrist, Broadwater; Walter Oroville, Washington; Mrs. Myrl Schumaker of Scottsbluff; and Theodore of Broadwater. There are nine grandchildren, a sister, Mrs. Carrie B. Delong, lives in Lancaster, Ohio. The News offers its condolences to the Waggy family in the death of this kind, friendly, and sincere old man who departed from this life after having done the very best that he could in all his endeavors.
