                     REV. WILLIAM D. POE FUNERAL RITES TODAY

Bloomfield Pastor Spent 40 Years Spreading Gospel Among Hill Folk.

Funeral services for Rev. William D. Poe, one of the remaining members of a
dwindling band of Methodist “circuit riding” ministers in Southeastern Missouri,
who died at his home in Bloomfield Sunday night [27 Jan 1935], will be held this
afternoon at the Bloomfield Methodist Church.

Rev. Mr. Poe was 71 years old. The son of Rev. James H. Poe, who before him rode
the trails of Southeastern Missouri as a traveling preacher, he engaged in the
circuit ministry virtually all of his life, devoting his efforts to “spreading the
gospel” among the hill folk during the last 40 years.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mollie Poe; three sons, Dr. Chester A. Poe and
Dr. Fielding A. Poe of St. Louis, and Dr. James A. Poe of Bloomfield; five
daughters, Mrs. Hazel Endresky of St. Louis, Mrs. Mabel Harris, Mrs. Lessie Kelly
and Mrs. Carrie Parmenter of Bloomfield, and Mrs, Beulah Schubert of Honolulu; a
brother, Dr. John D. Poe of St. Louis, and a sister, Miss Sarah E. Poe.

Funeral services will be held at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon, with burial in the
Pleasant Valley Cemetery at Bloomfield.
