DEATH CLAIMS ABNER EGGERS
Abner Eggers was born in Watauga County, North Carolina, May 27
1821 (to Hugh Eggers and Sarah "Sally" Smith) and died
April 27* 1910 (Greenup County Kentucky) being 88 years and 11
months old. He was united in marriage to Charlotte Hagerman 21
April 1839. Of this union three children were born. Hugh, died in
infancy. Isaac died in December 1863 while wearing the blue.
Landrine died Nov. 16, 1910.* (1909)Their mother, Charlotte, died
August 27 1845. On December 27, 1847, he was again united in
marriage to Lucinda J. Venable. Nine children were born of this
union of which three are dead. The surviving six are: Lewis B. of
Truitt, (Greenup Co.) Ky., Johile S. of Altomont, Mo., John A. of
Heyburn, Idaho, Jas. C. of Afton, Tenn, George W. of Peru,
Indiana and Mrs. Sarah Grayson of Mountain City, Tennessee. Mr.
Eggers united with the Baptist Church in 1876 and lived up the
Christian faith until death. He was a kind husband, a loving
father and a man that turned no one away. He was left by his
second wife, Lucinda Eggers, Nov. 24, 1902. After a year's
lonleyness (sic) at this old home in Johnson Co. Tenn., he
decided to visit his children in the West, making his first stop
with L.B. at Truitt, Ky., the second stop with Geo. W. at
Richmond, Ind. the next with Eliza Brendle, Zionsville, Ind., the
next at Manmouth, Ill., the next with J. S., Altomont, Mo., then
with N. C. Baird, Roseburg Oregon, then to Dillard, Oregon to
John A. Eggers, then to J. C. McCann, Grand Pass Oregon then to
Smith Dotson Portland Oregon, and then returning home made the
following stops: Altamont, Mo., Richmond, Ind, Greenup, Ky., then
to his old home. He sold his farm to his son, J. C. making his
home with him until he sold the home. He then made up his mind to
make his home with his son L.B. where he spent the last two years
of his life. Death was caused by a cancer which ate his nose off.
Our hearts are heavy and sore
We felt so lonely here today
Death has entered our home
And taken dear father away.
It was hard to drink the bitter cup
Though the good Lord knoweth best
It was hard to give our dear father up
When He called him home to rest.
It's hard to do without you father
But God claimed you for his own.
We could but bow our heads and say
Oh God thy will be done.
Oh why did we have to lose him,
Why it was we could not tell
How it makes us long to see him
In that land beyond the skies.
Dear father thou hast left us
And thy loss we deeply feel
But the God who has bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.
Never more on Earth we'll meet thee
Since thou art numbered with the dead,
But in heaven we hope to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.

From the "GREENUP REPUBLICAN"
KILLING IN GREENUP
Joe S. Eggers, for several years a constable of Greenup county
and at several primaries a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Representative, was shot with a pistol Thursday
morning near his home on Big White Oak by Tom Jones, a neighbor.
He died from the wound about an hour and a half after being
wounded.
Jones, the gun user, was trying to make his escape when
apprehended by the Sheriffs at Riverton. He had boarded the local
freight at some point between Fullerton and Greenup, the
officials having been 'tipped" of it, and when found he was
trying to conceal himself in a hopper coal car. He was arrested
without any trouble. He still possessed the pistol with which he
shot his victim. He claimed he was not trying to make a getaway
but was on his way to Ashland to see his sister about going on
his bond and intended to return and give himself up to the
officials.
The trouble which led to the tragedy was a dispute over a
division line between their lands, which each claimed included a
picnic ground. Jones claims Eggers was cutting wood on his land
when he rode up to him and ordered him to stop. He claims Eggers
jerked him off his horse and struck him with a stick when then he
shot him.
