His parents, Mordecai and Rebecca Pangle, had come to Fillmore county in the fall of 1870, and homesteaded the farm where the Charles Pangle’s now live. Here Will was born March 31, 1874, and made this his home until shortly before his marriage February 14, 1905, to Miss Blanche Yates. To this union were born two children, Ruth, Mrs. Augustus Woolheater, and Francis, both now living at Aurora, Col. Will’s education was received in District 12, where his brothers and sisters also attended. He vividly remembered the blizzard of January 12, 1888, when he and his brother Charles were at school. Mr. Pangle’s life spanned most of the progress of the country, from virgin prairie to what it is today. As a boy, he saw many Indians, who had their camps nearby; the covered wagons as they moved westward and the coming of the railroads, bringing civilization to the west. In his youth he helped fight prairie fires. He always enjoyed an exciting trip when he accompanied his father to the mill on the blue river to have wheat ground into flour. Will became a member of the Christian Church of Geneva many years ago, and remained a faithful member until his death. He served on the church board, and attended whenever his health permitted. About a year ago his health failed and he submitted to a major operation in September. This, however, failed to halt his illness, and he passed peacefully away March 15, 1955, having attained the age of 80 years, 11 months and 16 days. Besides his companion of 50 years, he is survived by his two children, a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mary Pangle, a son-in-law, Augustus Woolheater, and two granddaughters, Shirley and Sharon Pangle. There are also three brothers, Charles and Roscoe of Geneva, Ben of Crystal Lake, Ill., and one sister, Alice Stone of Portland, Ore., also numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, Mordecai, Ira, and bliss, and three sisters, Susan Johnston, Dora Strong and Josephine Bixby. Will was a loving and devoted husband and father, and delighted in his granddaughters. He was a good neighbor, always willing to help when needed. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Services were held at the Hrubesky-Farmer funeral home, Geneva, at 2 p. m. Friday, March 18. Harold Fox, student minister of the Geneva Christian church, gave the tribute. Mrs. Gerald Pickerell accompanied by Mrs. Willard H. Foster at the piano sang two favorite hymns, “Sweet Bye and Bye” and “Saved by Grace.” Burial was in the Geneva cemetery. Pallbearers were Joseph Bixby, John Bixby, Roger Pittard, Marion Ridpath, Marion Yates and Norman Yates. The Nebraska Signal 24 March 1955 page 9.
