Services for W.D. Bellomy, a pioneer Young County resident who died at his home in the Proffitt community were officiated by Rev. M.F. Richardson, Rev. E.M. Agee, and Rev. J.A. Bell. The Masonic Lodge of Newcastle conducted the rites of their fraternity. Mr. Bellomy brought his family to Young County in 1878 and settled in the Tonk Valley community.
