F.M. LADDF.M. Ladd Died Jan. 13
Heart Attack Fatal to Well Known Cobb ResidentMr F.M. Ladd, who died Saturday morning, January 13, 1940 leaves four stalwart sons to carry on his name besides a numerous company of relatives.
The sons are Driscoll Ladd, of Julien; Marvin Ladd, of Gracey; Royce Ladd, of Marion and Ray Ladd, of Texas. There are two lovely daughters, Mrs Cullen Jackson, of Gracey; and Mrs "Sonnie" Thomas, of Gracey vicinity.
This is retrospect to this sturdy old family. It was good to see so many of them rally around these stricken sons and daughters, and the grandchildren in their time of grief. Despite the inclemency of the weather the church was crowded to the doors, to do honor to this good citizen's passing and so sympathize with his children. They had special need, it was of even more grief to them, than the death of their father, who was freed from pain was their saintly mother who lay in a hospital bed, not able to be with her family to pay the last rites to a beloved companion and helpmate -- alone in her desperate sorrow.For Mrs Ladd, who has been a sufferer for years became suddenly worse, and was carried to Hopkinsville, this on Sunday before Mr Ladd's death on Saturday. A pathetic feature was that they were both sick, Mr Ladd had lain down beside his wife and was so lying when she was stricken. He had a heart attack soon after the ambulance took Mrs Ladd away. And so Cerulean mourns with this mean's stricken family, for a good citizen, whose life was spent in the environs of Cerulean, though at the time of his death he and his wife were living in Cobb, Ky. As we looked at the throng who had come through the bitter wind and cold to honor this man and his family there was the thought of Lincoln's famous saying -- Surely God must have loved the great common people. He made so many of them. For Mr Ladd would have told you he was one of them, that great mass of humanity that makes the bone and sinew of our land, liberty-loving, law abiding, God-fearing citizens, Good husbands, good fathers, true men. This describes our neighbor who has gone to rest. He too, was a member of Cerulean Methodist Church and Pastor Vance with constricted throat and suffused eyes gave broken words of comfort to the family and friends as one of them he said, a mourner for a yet closer tie, he told them.
After the funeral services, the remains were taken to the Lander grave yard, near Gracey for interment.
The pall bearers were the sons and sons in law. A large crowd from cerulean went on with the funeral party. We would not close this brief tribute without a special word of condolence to the good mother, whom we have known these many years. But no word of ours is needed to remind her of Him, who has promised to be the comforter of the widow and the fatherless. She has lived in the light of the Lord all the days of her life. It is she who will comfort the children who, even in her serious illness, will take up her cross and theirs -- with that unfaltering trust that is her most outstanding Christian Virtue, and her children will rise up and call her blessed. WE salute her. Cadiz Record Jan 1940
