I just posted the obituary of Joseph Anthony "Jaybird" LOGSDON who died here Saturday, 19 Aug 2006. Mr. Logsdon was born 10 Oct 1959 and was the son of the late Joseph Andrew and Hattie Pearl Gulley Logsdon. Something made Mr. Logsdon's funeral noteworthy here & happened Wednesday. As I was coming home from running errands Wed, I turned behind Hatcher and Saddler Funeral Home and saw a red horse-drawn wagon sitting at the back of the funeral home parking lot. A few hours later, this same wagon stopped in front of my house with the driver talking to my neighbor across the street, pulled by two beautiful palomino horses. I went outside to see the horses and nodded to the driver and his wife and they went on their way. Later, on my way to church, I noted the wagon across the street from Hatcher and Saddler and a horse trailer in which the horses had been loaded. I wondered why the wagon and horses were by Hatcher and Saddler and in last night's paper, received my answer. As reported in the Glasgow Daily Times, Joseph Logsdon never wanted to ride in a hearse. So family members came up with an alternate means to take his remains to the cemetery. His casket was loaded onto a horse-drawn wagon for the journey from Hatcher and Saddler to the Glasgow Municipal Cemetery. Mr. Logsdon loved horses and rode frequently with his son. So a friend of Mr. Logsdon's was called and agreed to bring his wagon to the funeral home. Ricky Cary and his wife Anita hitched up the horses by Hatcher and Saddler and led the procession to the cemetery. Also with the casket was Mr. Logsdon's riding saddle and cowboy hat. In the days of yore, this would have been a common occurence but in the year 2006, it was a touching tribute by a son for his father. The picture appeared on the front page of the Times last night, but is not shown on their on-line edition.
