| Victims on one of the worst crossings in Maries
County. Shocked by the saddest tragedy ever to strike in their homes and neighborhood, hundreds of friends and neighbors in the Summerfield and Buck Elk communities laid aside their farm work in the busiest season of the year for farm folks and gathered at Pilot Knob Baptist Church, there Monday afternoon to pay their last respects to life long residents of the community, Louis Pearon,65, his wife Aurelia age 63, and their son Ferd, 31, victims of and automobile-train accident. They saw for the first time three caskets.......the flag of the United States laid across one........carrying the broken bodies of the three members of the family, placed across the front of their church, just below the altar. The choir sang "Sweet By and By" and "Home Over There" followed by the words of the Pstor Rev. Lloyd Johnson of Jefferson City, Mo. Ours is a world of Tragedy Ours is a world of tragedy he said tragedies come because of the fragelities of the human body. AS he spoke a wind storm blew through the church and windows had to be lowered . The accompanying heavy rain sent those outside the church to parked automobiles for shelter. The preacher could sympathize with the heavy burdened hearts of the survivors-he, too had lost his Mother suddenly in an automobile tragedy about a year ago. There was hardly a person there who was not related to some member of the family either by blood or marriage. After the choir sang "In that Beautiful land" the three caskets were borne from the church to the new graveyard addition and laid side by side...first, the son, then the Mother, and the Father-.......and all were lowered together, into one triple size grave. The seriousness of the occasion laid deeply on the hearts of everyone. All wanted to say something or do something to help but there was so little anyone could do. Full Military Honors The O.W.L. Memorial Post, Veterans of Foreigh Wars of Belle had officiated at the grave. Taps were sounded, and the flag had been lifted from the sons casket, folded together, and presented to the widow by Chaplain M.E. Neal, who closed the ceremony by offering a prayer to Almighty God. Louis Pearon, his wife Aurelia and their son were all killed in a train /auto accident when a Rock Island freight train hit their car near Summerfield, MO at a railway crossing. Newspaper article appeared in the Belle Banner newspaper July 31, 1947 page 1. Mrs Aurelia Pearon, the son, Ferd, and husband Louis Pearon , who died of injuries sustained last Saturday when a Rock Island freight train struck their car near Summerfield. The photograph was made when the son came home on furlough about two years ago. |
