POWERS, 68, CLAIMED BY DEATH City Marshall Succumbs Here Saturday Morning After Months Illness William Harvey powers, aged 68 years, died at his home here at 9 o'clock Saturday morning, following an illness of a month. Death was due to a complication of infirmities following an infection in his left foot from a bunion several months ago. Two weeks ago, physicians amputated his limb in an effort to check the spread of the infection and for a few days he appeared to be improving, but for a week before his death little hopes were held for his recovery. Mr. Powers was born on May 19, 1863 near Joplin, Missouri and in his young days moved to the plains of Western Texas and new Mexico where he became a cattle man, growing up and spending his young manhood as a "cow-boy," later engaging in the stock business for himself in that country. He never tired of relating his experiences as a cow man in the 80's at which time was necessary to drive cattle hundreds of miles overland to market points as the cow country of the West had few railroads. He came to Arkansas in 1907 and engaged in the cattle and meat business here and has made his home here since. During his residence at Rison he served nearly eight years as city marshal of Rison in different terms and had been marshal for the past three years at the time of his death. He has also served as a member of the town council several terms. In January 1909 he was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Quinn Morgan, who survives him. Four years ago he suffered a severe attack of Typhoid fever and had never regained his normal strength and vigor. Mr. Powers was acquainted with practically every citizen of the county and had a large circle of friends in this section of the state. He left an enviable record as a peace office and was loyal to his official duties to the last. During his term as an officer he has figured in many man hunts and arrests of statewide importance. He was a member of the Rison Methodist Church and Culpepper Lodge F. & A.M. and also the I.O.O.F. while there was a lodge here. He had served as a member of the board of stewards of his church. In addition to his widow he is survived by three daughters, Misses Willie and Elizabeth Powers and Mrs. B.W. Thomasson all of Rison, two sons, Ari Powers of this city and Roy Powers of Pine Bluff; one sister Mrs. H.H. Thompson of Weiser, Idaho, and a stepson, Reeves Morgan of Longview, Texas. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church here Sunday afternoon by the Rev. A.W. Hamilton, his pastor and the Rev. B.F. Musser of Grady, a former pastor of the deceased. Burial was in the family lot at Greenwood cemetery in charge of the Masonic lodge. Pallbearers were: Honorary- I.E. Moore, J.L. Sadler, J.M. McMurtrey, J.B. Searcy, F.W. Culpepper, C.R.
