Read More	The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Lucas County, Iowa; Thursday, August 10, 1905 VIRGIL BARRON, son of MR. and MRS. J.T. BARRON of near Derby, was drowned in Kirksville, Mo., where he was attending the State Normal School, Saturday, August 5. In company with a number of Sunday School pupils, teachers and officers, he was enjoying a picnic at the lake. His teacher took his class in the lake to wade, bathe and swim. VIRGIL was wading and was in the height of his glory when he stepped into a hole eighteen feet deep and sank from sight. Onlookers were unable to save him. His body was raised by dynamite on Sunday morning and was brought to Derby Monday morning, accompanied by his sister MAGGIE, who was in school there, and a friend, G.H. JAMISON, sent by the Y.M.C.A. of which he was a member. His brother CLINT and MRS. FRED RIGGLE met them at Albia Sunday evening. Funeral services conducted by Rev. Orr Campbell of Indianola were held at the Eden Baptist Church Monday afternoon after which interment took place in the Murray Cemetery by the side of his little brother. The funeral was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and was pathetic beyond expression. The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful. One emblem was finished with purple and white ribbons, his class colors. VIRGIL TALMAGE BARRON was born in Kentucky and was 21 years, 9 months and 12 days old. He had resided near Derby with his parents for many years, and was a model young man, held in the highest regard by all who knew him. Of strict integrity, with an excellent character and a pleasant disposition he won the esteem of all with whom he came in contact, and his sad and sudden death brought sorrow to the hearts of his many friends. He is survived by his parents, one brother and three sisters, who are prostrated with grief and who have the sympathy of the entire community in their overwhelming affliction. KIT MCQUARY of Atlanta, Mo., a brother of MRS. BARRON, accompanied by his son, attended the last sad rites. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks to all who aided and sympathized with us during our darkest hour of bereavement, on account of the death by drowning of our son and brother, Virgil. -- JAS. T. BARRON and FAMILY. -------------- Note: Birth date calculated using death date and age.
