1555	Virgil Eugene Link, loving husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed on peacefully on July 28, 2012, in La Marque, Texas. A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 1, at Roselawn Cemetery in Bethalto under the direction of Marks Mortuary, with Scott Levan officiating. Virgil was born on July 15, 1923, in Wood River, where he resided until moving to Texas in January of this year to be closer to his son, Dennis, and daughter-in-law, Jacki's family in the Texas City, Texas, area. He was preceded in death by his parents, Emma and Homer Link, wife, Doris Darr Link, and son, Ron Link. Survivors include his wife, Ada Goodman Link; her daughters, Penny Walker and children, Ryan and Kelly; Vickie Chestnut, husband, Don and their children, Brian Chestnut and Cheryl Watts; and son, Kevin Goodman, wife, Becky, and their children, Kristin Martin and Megan Pope. Also left to cherish Virgil's memories are brothers, Charles and wife, Eunice, of Phoenix, Ariz., and Lee of East Alton; son, Dennis Link and daughter-in-law, Jacki, and grandsons, Chad and wife, Mandy, Jerid and wife, Amy, and Joe and wife, Andrea, Scott, Todd and wife, Ali and Aaron Link; and granddaughter, Tara Link. Virgil also took great joy in times spent with his 14 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. Special thanks to the love, support and friendship from Jim and Berta Berger Darr, Mark, Antra, Gene, Janet, Sabreena and Lorre Berger from San Diego, Calif., Curtis and Karen Berger from Durango, Colo., Liz, Molly and Katie Keister from Chesapeake, Va., Susie Cotter and John and Blondie Godar from Alton, and Bill and Cathy Clark from Bethalto. Virgil shared many great memories of the time he spent as a teenager hauling ice with his Uncle Jim Buckner in Wood River. At the age of 22, in 1945, he worked on a special U.S. Army War Department task force, in the state of Washington, helping to create the atomic bomb that contributed to the end of World War II. Virgil hired in at Clark Oil in 1950 and retired in 1984 with 34 years of dedicated service. He proudly wore his retirement watch right up to the end of his life here on earth. Virgil was a very loyal, long-term member of the Wood River Moose Lodge, where friends and family would gather almost every Friday night for fish, fellowship and a good time for all. Virgil was also a lifetime St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan. He rarely missed a game listening to Harry Cary or Jack Buck on the radio or in later years watching the games with his wife, Ada, on TV. Virgil didn't hesitate to give the 2011 world champion Cardinal players and coaches some "constructive" advice on the best way to play America's favorite pastime. God recruited Virgil to watch over the Cardinals during this year's run back to the playoffs. Go Cardinals! Favorite memories of Virgil will be his kind heart, passion for family and friends and competitive, yet fun, nature when playing cards, pool, ping-pong, shuffle board, chess or any game. He taught us to play to win, learn from your loses and always put forth your best effort at home, work and play. We are truly blessed to have known Virgil as a father, grandfather and friend and are better people because of his love, guidance and caring attitude. He would want us to continue to love and support each other and cherish our time together until we meet again in eternal life. One of Virgil's passions was writing poems to family members and friends over the years. As a tribute to Grandpa Link and his poetic talents, his grandson, Jerid Link wrote the following poem. A Poet's Goodbye As I shed this mortal coil Farewell to all my friends Please keep me in your hearts Until we meet again. Please send my love to others Whose eyes this does not reach Take comfort in these words And the lessons that they teach May our love not be forgotten May it always be agreed To speak kindly of me often Goodbye, Good luck ... God Speed	Link, Virgil Eugene (I2952)

1560	Vivian Jack Denning died aboard the merchant navy vessel SS Port Hunter when it was attacked by a U Boat west of Madeira. At 01.47 hours on 12 July 1942 the Port Hunter (Master John Bentham Bradley), dispersed from convoy OS-33 at 11.00 hours on 11 July, was struck on the port side in #2 hold by one of two torpedoes from the German submarine U-582 about 370 miles west-southwest of Madeira. The ship had been missed by a first spread of two torpedoes at 01.15 hours. The torpedo ignited the cargo of ammunition and the vessel disappeared after several heavy detonations, which were seen as flashes at the horizon by other ships of the dispersed convoy. A lot of debris was blown into the air and hailed down on the nearby U-boat, forcing it to dive immediately. In the meantime, the ship listed heavily to port and sank within two minutes. The motor launch HMNZS ML-1090 was lost with the vessel. When the U-boat surfaced again after 20 minutes, only burning fuel oil and wreckage were spotted at the sinking position. At daylight, the Germans examined U-582 and discovered that the net deflector had been torn away when hit by a side plate of the steamer, which was found on deck together with parts of guns and ammunition and an anchor chain hanging over both sides. The falling debris had ruptured the deck at several places and opened leaks in a fuel tank, causing a trail of oil for a while. The master, 68 crew members, 14 gunners and five passengers were lost. Three crew members sleeping on deck had been blown into the water and clung to wreckage of the motor launch until they were picked up at about 08.30 hours by HMS Rother (K 224) (Cdr R.V.E. Case, DSC and Bar, RD, RNR) after being spotted by the British steam merchant City of Windsor from the same convoy.	Denning, Vivian Jack (I53869)

1562	W.K. RODWAY - On Wednesday, April 10, 1895 (Died 8 April 1895) we were call-ed upon to lay the mortal remains of our most highly esteemed friend, W. K. Rodway, in their final resting place. The brief services at his late home were con-ducted by the pastor of the Congregational church, Rev. N. L. Burton, assisted by some of his friends who sang appropriate selections. The scripture read was the 14th chapter of the Gospel by St. John, chosen for the occasion by Mr. Rodway himself after he was told by his physician that he could not recover. He said that chapter comforted him and he called the attention of his loved ones to it in hope that they would find comfort there in their coming bereavement. One looking upon the peaceful face in the casket and remembering the expressions of pain which so often were seen upon his face during the last days of the fear-ful malady which terminated his mortal life, could hardly refrain from thoughts like that expressed in the 3d verse of this chapter, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also." In the weary hours of his last sickness, the lessons taught him in childhood in his Christian home came clearly to his memory, and his acceptance of the salvation of the Gospel was clear and unquestioning. In my last conversation with him he told me that he had hoped to be permitted to enter the covenant of the church of Christ before be was called away, but that it did not seem to be God's will that he should. But said he, "I have the promise of Christ, and that is enough." His final moments were so peaceful that to those who watched beside him he seemed literally to fulfill the favorite expression of the early Christians and fall asleep. After a brief service at the house the Modern Woodmen and the members of the Masonic order, each of which he was a member, conducted his remains to the cemetery, whither he was followed by a large concourse of his grief stricken friends, and with the appropriate and impressive rituals of their orders laid him to his final rest. I esteem it a privilege to supplement the eminently just statement of last week with these words of appreciation, with the hope that they may tend to comfort , those most sorely bereaved by his early death.	Rodway, William Knibb (I585)

1587	WILLIAM MORGAN LASBURY, manufacturer During the recent World War there were many American business men, who though practically retired from active business duties, came again to the front at their Country's time of need, and who were important factors in many phases of the work necessary to carry on that great struggle to a successful close. One of these men was William Morgan Lasbury, of Broad Brook, and Enfield, Connecticut. He possessed capabilities of great value, which he used untiringly, thereby receiving well-deserved merit. The name of Lasbury is derived from Lasborough, a parish in County of Gloucester, England, a section long famed for its citizens. George Lasbury the father of our subject was a son of Benjamin Lasbury and Sarah Easbury. The latter lived and died in England, and after his death, his widow, Sarah, came to America, where she resided with her son, George, until her death, which occurred in the early seventies. George Lasbury, above mentioned, was born in England, October 25, 1819, and died in 1906 at Broad Brook, Connecticut. At an early age he left home and school to help his parents, as he was the oldest of a large family of children. He was employed in the woolen mills of Bradford, England, his native town, and by his industry worked up until he became overseer of fulling. He learned the trade of finishing. He married (first) in 1840, in England, Fannie Sylcox, and came to this country alone the following year. Speaking the same language, feeling the brotherhood in our Common ancestry, he became an American in the best sense of the word. His wife and son arrived in America a year and a half later, and they located at Webster, Massachusetts. Mr. Lasbury worked first in the mills of Lowell, Massachusetts, then later removed from there to Broad Brook, Connecticut, where he resided for about fifty years. By industry and economy he saved enough from his modest income to buy a farm in the southern part of Broad Brook. Enjoying the respect and confidence of the people of all the vicinity, he spent his last years on this place, and his memory is still honored by all who knew him. By his first wife, who died in 1852, there were the following children: Edward G., married ____ , Elizabeth, wife of Samuel Morgan, of New York; Emma, married Oscar Willey, of Broad Brook; Addie T., wife of Gilbert Nabel. Mr. Lasbury married (second) in 1854, Sarah Morgan and their children were Mattie M., resides in Redding, Massachusetts; William Morgan, the subject of our sketch; and George B. of Omaha, Nebraska. Mrs. Sarah (Morgan) Lasbury died in September, 1865. George Lasbury married (third) Mrs. Esther Allen., and their children are: Charles, who lives in Cleveland, Ohio; Ralph C. of further mention; James N.; and Harry L. The family have long been members of the Congregational church of Broad Brook. William Morgan Lasbury was born November 15, 1857, in Broad Brook, and attended the schools of that town, and the Eastman Business College of Poughkeepsie, New York. Subsequently he entered a country store as a clerk and after gaining sufficient experience, he purchased a store in Hartford, which he conducted for two years. He was then in the employ of the Belding Brothers Company, silk manufacturers, for three years as a bookkeeper. Returning to his native town, he secured a position with the Broad Brook Woolen Company and this marked the beginning of a career in the manufacturing business that has been one of marked success. He rose through various grades as his abilities increased and became paymaster, then assistant superintendent, and eventually superintendent. From Broad Brook, Mr. Lasbury went to the American Woolen Company of Boston, and there he was in charge of the Fitchburg Worsted and the Beoli Mills of that company, both located in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. He was later transferred to the Assacet Mills at Maynard, Massachusetts. At the latter place there were twenty- eight hundred employees, being the largest mill in the world. In 1914 Mr. Lasbury retired from the cares of business, and purchased a farm on Enfield Street, in the town of Enfield, having decided to take a complete rest. His health had suffered severely through the ardous cares of his work and for a year led a quiet, peaceful life on his farm. In 1915 he was urged to return to the American Woolen Company, and assumed charge of the Worsted Division of the eighteen mills, of thirty five thousand employees. Then came the outbreak of the war and the great work of preparation began. One of the most important items was the clothing of the soldiers, and second to that was the having in charge of the selecting of this material, a man of high integrity, broad experience, and with a natural love of country and honor. Such a man is Mr. Lasbury, who during the war held this responsibility, being a member of the Fabric War Committee, and performed the duties involved in a manner that has brought him material success and a position of honor. Mr. Lasbury is now retired, living on his beautiful farm. He married, September 27, 1880, Nellie P. Davenport, daughter of Henry A. and Pamelia (Landon) Davenport. Their children are: Alma Louise, born December 30, 1883 and Howard A., December 24,1885. The latter married Ann While, and resides in Brookline, Massachusetts; he is in the employ of the America Woolen Company of Boston. Mr. Lasbury is a Republican, and fraternally is a member of Oriental Lodge, No. 11, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. With his family he attends the Congregational church of Enfield.	Lasbury, William Morgan (I347)
1588	William Palmer was tired of being a doctor and spent more and more time running his own stables and gambling at various race courses. One day in 1850 he went to Chester Races. He was very friendly with a 49 year old man called Leonard Bladen who worked as a collector for Charrington Brewery. On that day Bladen won a lot of money at the races. Palmer was known to owe him money. After the Races Bladen wrote to his wife telling her that he was going to Rugeley for two to three days to collect what Palmer owed him and that, with his winnings and what Palmer owed him, he should come home with around ?1,000. he also added that he would be in Rugeley for a couple of days. Palmer, 'being a good loser' had promised Bladen 'some sport with the gun'. When Bladen went to Rugeley he continued on to Ashby in Leicestershire to see his brother Henry before returning to Rugeley. When he was back in Rugeley he was suddenly taken ill. Some time before when he was working he had had an accident where he was hit in the chest by a cart. He suffered internal injuries and had been ordered to rest but had in stead he had gone to the races. Whether he died as a result of these injuries or as a result of poisoning is not known. His death certificate states that he died on the 10th May 1850 at Market Street, Rugeley and describes him as a 45 year old Common Brewer. The cause of death is given as "Injury of the Hip Joint 5 or 6 months. Abscess in Pelvis 12 days. Certified" and confirms that William Palmer was present at the death. When he was first taken ill his wife was not sent for as she had not wanted him to go to the races in the first place. A friend of Bladen's, however, sent for his wife. When she arrived in Rugeley she found that he was in great pain and he did not recognise her. Later he died in agony in Palmer's house. his wife was surprised to find only ?15 in his possessions and that his betting books were missing. He was buried in St. Augustine's churchyard. In St. Augustine's Churchyard many gravestones have been placed against the churchyard wall bordering Station Road. Bladen's grave is the one hundredth grave from the gateway into the parish church. A damning newspaper report in The Illustrated Times said on February 2nd 1856 three months before Palmer's trial:- The year following Mrs. Thornton's1 death - some few years ago - a Mr. Bladen, a collector for Charrington's brewery, who dabbled sufficiently in turf transactions to make him a defaulter to his employers, came to Rugeley on a visit to William Palmer. It would seem, if public rumour be worthy of credit, that Palmer had borrowed ?400 from the sporting bagman, and it is possible that the hope of recovering this sum induced the unfortunate man to become the guest of his debtor. However this may be, he had no chance of taking it out of board and lodging. In less than a week he fell desperately sick and after William Palmer and his assistant and subsequent partner, Mr. Benjamin Thirlby, had exhausted their skill, old Dr. Bamford was called in to "prescribe a mixture". Nevertheless, the patient died . His wife arrived when he was already insensible, but in a few minutes she was hurried out of the room, and never again allowed to behold him - because decomposition had set in so rapidly! She was also disuaded from carrying the corpse to London, the expense of which William Palmer greatly exaggerated. Rumour goes on to say that the latter handed the widow a cheque for ?60, and some loose cash which he had found in the pockets of the deceased. On Mrs. Bladen expressing her surprise at the smallness of the amount, her husband having left London, as she believed, with ?200 in his pocket. Palmer replied that, since Bladen had been in Rugeley, he had been betting heavily, and had been unfortunate. Poor Mrs. Palmer was greatly agitated when she heard of Bladen's death, and exclaimed, "My poor mother died when on a visit here last year - and now this man. What will people say?" What will people say, indeed! Beyond these deaths , there were also other grounds for suspicion. Of five children, the offspring of their marriage, four died in infancy - last in January, 1854. Er, too, a few short months had gone by, it was destined to be the poor mother's turn. 1Mrs. Thornton was Palmer's Mother-in-law http://palmer.staffspasttrack.org.uk/?page_id=100 https://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/content/articles/2006/04/11/local_heroes_doctor_william_palmer_feature.shtml https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Palmer_(murderer)	Bladon, Leonard (I2430)

1590	WILLIAM TURNBULL, born in Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England the son of John and Elizabeth TURNBULL; husband of Grace WADE; father of Frank, Elizabeth and Mary TURNBULL. William's siblings include: Marmeduke TURNBULL, Thomas Walker TURNBULL, and Christopher TURNBULL, and Mary Turnbull LASBURY- WILLIAM TURNBULL Was born in the county of York, England, October 16, 1805. He is the third son of John and Elizabeth Turnbull, who were also natives of England. They had a family of three daughters and eight sons, all of whom reached mature age. Mr. Turnbull's vocation was that of flax manufacturer, which business his ancestors had followed for nearly two centuries before. His father was successful in business, and lived to be seventy-five years of age. His mother lived to be ninety. The subject of this sketch received a good, solid English mechanical education. He attended the best schools in the town in which he resided. After finishing his education, his business, while in England, was that of general superintendent of the manufacturing establishment of his father. In 1825 he took an active position among the working men of England in opposition to church and state; also the odious laws of primogeniture and class legislation, which was the cause of his leaving his native country. He came to the United States in the spring of 1830, landing in New York, from there proceeded to Maryland, locating near Baltimore, in which place he lived four years, still following the same vocation. In the spring of 1835 he left Maryland and went to live at Manayunk, near Philadelphia, being in the employ of Messrs. Garside & Co., who were engaged in the manufacture of flax threads, and in their interests he traveled extensively in all the manufacturing districts of the United States; also among the farmers, endeavoring to encourage them to grow the staple necessary to feed their manufactories. In 1836 Mr. Turnbull was married in Philadelphia to Grace Wade, daughter of Francis and Elizabeth Wade. They were also natives of England. Mr. and Mrs. Turnbull have two daughters and one son. In the fall of 1839 he came to Illinois, locating in Flint township, Pike county, where he has since been engaged in farming. Every thing of a business nature which he has taken hold of has seemed to turn to his advantage, until we now find him the owner of a fine farm of one thousand acres, much of it well improved, and under a good state of cultivation. Mr. Turnbull has enjoyed rare advantages in travel, having traveled over a greater portion of the continent of Europe, and gazed with delight and interest on the most important monuments and places of modern antiquity. He has also visited the principal places of note in the United States. His travels have not been lost, but he has garnered up in the rich store house of his mind much matter which is interesting when narrated in his quiet, though forcible style. He has the finest private library we have seen of any non-professional gentleman in the county, enriched with the choicest works of ancient and modern literature. In politics he took a very decided stand in the democratic party previous to the rebellion. Few men in Pike county had more influence in his party than did Mr. Turnbull. He was always a great admirer of Mr. Douglass, with whom he was well acquainted. He thought the policy of the latter was founded upon good democratic principles. On the breaking out of the war Mr. Turnbull resolved himself into a war democrat, and during the most troublesome times in Pike county he, with a few of the leading union men, worsted the bushwhackers and their allies. He is also a strong advocate of the free trade doctrine, believing that in that policy not only the west, but the people of the whole United States, will be benefitted. Mr. Turnbull is still residing on the same spot where he first settled, surrounded by an interesting family. Horseback riding is one of his favorite amusements. He is now enjoying excellent health, and can vault into the saddle with the same elasticity as in boyhood. Mr. Turnbull is a gentleman largely known in the county, and highly respected by his fellow citizens. http://genealogytrails.com/ill/pike/obitT.html	Turnbull, William (I3083)
