PUGH Deceased Had Been Resident Of Phillips County For Half Century The diminishing ranks of Phillips County's pioneers were lessened by one more this week with the passing of Mrs. Lavina Dorcas Pugh, funeral services for whom took place at the Baptist church on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Pugh died Saturday morning at 6:15 o'clock at her home five and one-half miles east of Holyoke, lacking only slightly more than a month of being 82 years of age. Cancer was the cause of her death. She had been in failing health for some time but had not been bedfast until the past few weeks. Mrs. Pugh was a resident east of Holyoke for half a century, coming here before the county of Phillips was organized, and previous to that she had homesteaded in Chase County, Nebraska, near Lamar. Her maiden name was Stevens. She was born November 26, 1855 at Corydon, Indiana and resided there for the first thirty years of her life. She enjoyed an enviable reputation as a singer when a young lady and was much sought after as an entertainer. She was an active member of the Presbyterian church there as well as here in later years. After the death of both her father and mother, she came westward settling at York, Nebraska for a short time before coming on to Chase County, Nebraska, where she homesteaded. She was married to William Edwin Pugh December 1, 1887, at Lamar, Nebraska, whereupon she and her husband moved to the latter's homestead east of Holyoke. Three years later, they moved westward to the present Pugh farm which adjoins the old homestead. One son, Frank Willard, was born to them. Mrs. Pugh was preceded in death by her husband on January 18, 1927, at Holyoke. She was the youngest and the only surviving member of a family of 15 children. Left to mourn her passing are her son, his wife and three children, many nieces and nephews and innumerable friends. That Mrs. Pugh held a place of affection and esteem in the hearts of a host of friends was attested to by the fact that more than 70 families called at her bedside during her final illness the past three weeks. Rev. J. G. Bell, pastor of the Presbyterian church, officiated at the funeral services which were held at the Baptist church in order to accommodate the crowd.
