Note: (Research):posted by Dennis Deason on sun, 07 Nov 1999 William Austin Deason Dead (1902, Lowell, Arkansas) There has been nothing happened in this community of late that has given so much universal sorrow as the sudden death of William Austin Deason on last Tuesday. "Bud" Deason as he was commonly known to everybody, was taken ill Wednesday of last week, and after a day or two it was decided that his ailment was appendicitis, and that an operation of surgery would be necessary. Drs. Cargile, of Bentonville, and Ellis of Springdale, were called last Saturday afternoon. Mr. Deason was moved from his house to Hotel Lowell, where the operation it seemed with the assistance of Drs. Greene and Pickens, of this place, was sucessfully performed. The patient appeared to be doing well until late Monday night, when he began to sink and become unconscious and remained so until about 2:20 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, when the white winged messenger of death came and bore that spirit away to Him who gave it. Wm. Austin Deason was born in Benton County, four miles north of Rogers, Ark. on January 13, 1868, and was 34 years, 9 months, 29 days old. He moved to the vicinity of Lowell 14 years ago and joined the Lowell Missionary Baptist Church of which he was a consistent and beloved brother. He was a gentleman of high moral standing and had a host of friends who mourn his sudden and ill-fated demise. "Bud" Deason leaves a mother, several sister and two brothers to mourn his loss and family aid. We also learn he would have soon become a benedict had his life been spared, and his intended is entitled to a good share of sympathy. The remains were laid to rest on Wednesday, in the Pleasant Hill cemetary, near his birth place. Rev. A.J. Maxwell conducted the services at the cemetary.
