Over the years I have collected many obituaries from many different resources.  I either received them from family members, emails, letters or websites.

25 Years Ago - May 17, 1962

Emory Hobart Highley, son of the late Louis and Irene Highley, was born Feb. 6, 1895, in Dent County and spent his entire life in Dent County until Jan. 1962 at which time he moved to St. Louis due to poor health. He departed this life on May 5, 1962 at Barnes Hospital. He was united in marriage to Daisy Gordon on Jan. 11, 1916 and to this union three children were born, two daughters and one son. An infant daughter, Beatrice, preceded him in death.

Emory was in business 44 years in Bunker. At one time he owned and operated the grocery, dry goods, furniture building material and hardware stores. He sold the grocery store to W. G. Camden and Bernice Gant in January 1951; Angus Highley and Leon Baker bought the hardware, furniture and building material in June of 1960, and A. R. Gant purchased the dry goods business in October 1961.

Most of my family members came from St. Francois County, Missouri.  Others came from Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia and Germany.  If you would like to contribute a photo, please email me at: rebecca@digginforroots.com.
