My grandfather, W.O. Bagby, and his sister, Kate (Bagby) Sorensen, relayed this story to me personally in the late 1970s. Section 9 In January, 1904, my grandfather, his brother, Homer Bagby, and two older boys, Tony and Claude Ghettis, were standing at the banks of Honey Creek needing to cross. It being after a January snow the water was up and running strong. My grandfather's uncle, Mort Bagby, came along on a horse and hoisted the 4 boys onto the horse. In mid-creek a log came down the creek and knocked the horse down. The Ghettis boys both drowned. Mort feeling bad that the boys had drowned, had them buried them on his farm property in an old cemetery. In the late 1970s we walked out there, I remember it was real muddy that day, so we didn't stay long and I think those were the only 2 stones in that cemetery then. But, I believe the original cemetery was named after an early settler in Time, Henry Kente. |
