Andrew Jackson Powell 1837 - 1928 Bates County, Missouri

Andrew Jackson Powell, on of Bates County's boldest citizens, died at his home in the east part of this city Saturday morning, March 31st, (1928), after an extended illness due to the infirmities of age.

     He was a native Missourian, having been born in Shelby County, 91 years ago.  In 1867 he came to Bates County and located on a farm in Lone Oak township, where he resided until a few years ago when he moved to this city, where he has since resided.  "Uncle Jack," as he was familiarly known to his friends, was a quiet unassuming gentleman and one of the last of those rugged pioneers who helped in the rebuilding of this community after it had been ravaged by years of border warfare.  He was a devoted, self-sacrificing husband and father and a good citizen whose passing will be mourned by a large circle of friends.  During the Civil War he served with the 7th Missouri Cavalry.

     He is survived by one son, Lee Edgar Powell, three daughters, Mrs. Lucetta P. Cobb, Mrs. Clara Stokes and Mrs. Alta Warren, all of this city.  His wife preceded him in death about six weeks.

     Funeral services were conducted from the home of his daughter, Mrs. Alta Warren, on Harrison Street, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. G. L. Chapman, of Altoona, Kansas, an old neighbor of his in Lone Oak township.
