In the church at Rosebud he helped to build & in which his name stood first in the membership role, funeral services were held Tues. afternoon for Stephen M. ("Uncle Steve") Plant, 84-year-old Confederate veteran & well behaved citizen of the Rosebud community, who died there Monday morning. The services were conducted by Rev. Geoge Wiman & Rev. Hagar, pastor of the church.
Mr. Plant was born near Quitman, April 3, 1847, and his entire life was spent within a few miles of his birthplace. His parents moved when he was quite young to White Co., at the community & church afterwards called Plant's Chapel, in honor of his father. At the age of 17 he enlisted in the Confederate army & served the last year of the civil war under General Gates, surrendering in 1865 at Jacksonport, Ark. In 1866 he was married to Nancy Jane Smith, who died July 31, 1920. To them were born 9 children, of whom 8 survive. They are J. Zeno Plant & Mrs. S. M. Acker of Searcy, C. D., W. E. & J. P. Plant & Mrs. Allie Holt of Rosebud, Mrs. Nola Munn of McAlester, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Ada Linton, of Las Cruces, N. M. All the children were with him in his last illness except Mrs. Munn & Mrs. Linton. He is survived by 32 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren & 1 great-great-grandchild, also by one sister, Mrs. Josie Wilson. One of his neices is Mrs. Avery E. Moore of Enders, widow of the former state auditor.
Mr. Plant was noted as a zealous supporter of Christian religion & prohibition. When his sons were young he told them not to drink, curse of smoke until they saw or knew of him doing it. His greatest interest was in the Methodist church at Rosebud & during his last illness he worried into delirium over a fear that the church had been sold
