Tracy, I am sending this just in case you don't have them. Probably already do, but thought they might be of use, if you didn't. All I could find for the time being. Looks like William changed his spelling of his last name and Beda first name. Could have been transcribed that way also. Very hard to read the writing back then. I do have to admire the people that have the patience to do that work. Anyway, hope this helps.

Pansy Euphemia Powell Albers passed away Tuesday, October 24 at Manor Care Center in Springfield, Missouri. She was 92 years old. She was born December 9, 1907, at the family home near Talking Rocks Cavern in southern Stone County, and was the daughter of Laura Walker Powell and Ralph Waldo Emerson Powell. She married Arthur Albers on November 21, 1927. She is survived by her daughter and son in law, Dixie Albers Anderson and James Anderson of Springfield, her brother, Waldo Walker Powell of Stone County, grandchildren Ingrid Albers, Branson; Kirsten Albers, Madison, Wisconsin; James Anderson, Jr., Springfield; Dallas Albers, Jr., Mountain View, California; and April Becker, Springfield, as well as nine great-grandchildren, daughter-in-law Jo Stacey Albers of Branson. She was pre-deceased by her husband, Arthur Albers, her son, Dallas Albers, sisters Marjorie, Hazel, and Laura, and brother Merida. Her family explored and developed Fairy Cave, now Talking Rocks Cavern, and operated it until it was sold to Silver Dollar City in the early 1970's. Pansy gave her first cave tour at the age of 12 and continued as a guide until the cave was sold. Pansy's grandfather, Truman Powell, was the founder of the Stone County Oracle, a member of the Marble Cave Mining Company, and one of the first to throughly explore Marvel Cave. He was often believed to be the model for the Old Shepherd in the Harold Bell Wright novel Shepherd of the Hills. At 92, Pansy could remember many of the memorable characters of the Taney/Stone County border area: Pearl Spurlock, Levi Morrill, Lizzie McDaniel, and many of the lesser known folks in the region. She could describe descending into Marvel Cave on a ladder for a dance lit by torches, or traveling to Branson when Highway 76 was a gravel road. She could sing the old songs (badly, but her grandkids didn't care), tell great stories, and fish with the best of them. She believed Vicks Vaporub, Campopheniqe, and cider vinegar could cure most everything. She looked like a little Welsh fairy in polyester pants and tennis shoes. We will miss her a lot.

While my relationship is rather distant, I can sense from your personal description of the 2 boys & the service that you attended, that they were well respected young men in the area. As to the BILYEU family, I'm sure that you probably have more knowledge than I have, particularly with the more recent generations in the area. As to Elzy BILYEU, he is one of the individuals for whom I have copy of an undated newspaper obit which reads as follows: quote ELZY BILYEU Services for Elzy Bilyeu, 83, Walnut Shade, were (held) last Friday in Harris Chapel with the Rev. Paul Swadley officiating. Burial was in Schupbach Cemetery, Spokane. Mr. Bilyeu died last Tuesday in Lakeview Nursing Home, Forsyth, after a long illness. He was a retired mail carrier and farmer.

These young men was really loved by their community. Yes, he was family to me and so was Charles Cummings, which was buried the same day, but I didn't get to go to Charlie's but I am sure that a large turn out to his too.
