P. Y. Irvine

On last Friday, week ago, Mr. P. Y. Irvine was in Marshall, and did us the honor to call in at our sanctum. Mr. Irvine is one of the early settlers of Saline county, and heartily approves of our suggestions respecting a social gathering of the old pioneers. Of a friendly, generous, and even jolly nature, his eyes kindle with animation at the mention of old times, and in review of our history of long ago, the old gentleman moves quickly, steps with increased firmness, and is not only made to appear so, but unquestionably feels to some degree the energizing and fiery ardor of his youthful impulses. He has been, we suppose, all his life a most moral and temperate man, and therefore has a clear unclouded intellect, with his faculty of recollecting events good now as it has ever been.

He perhaps knows as much of the early history of Saline county, and can relate it as fluently as any other old pioneer of the county. He feels in his heart the most profound fraternal affection for all of our early settlers, who like himself, are on the "declining slope of life," and begin now with solemn concern and reverential awe to contemplate their passage beyond that line which separates the spirt from the visible world. But Mr Ervine, though among the earliest settlers, is yet greatly the junior in age of many of our early pioneers. He came to Missouri, it is true, a long time ago; but then he was quite a young man when he first set his foot upon Saline county soil. At a time when all the country between the few settlements in here on the river and the high point on the Tebo was a trackless wilderness, save by wild game, he was wont to get together a few companions, put provisions in their saddle pockets to last them three or four days, and ride over there to see the girls. It was a long ways to go on business purely of that character; but this was only one of the many inconveniences incident to the lives of those who were the advance guard to the populous thong that have since come on with all the arts of civilization, and squatted all over the face of this fertile and favored region like the innumerable hosts of Israel upon the plains of the promised land.

Rockingham Register, February 8, 1879¹⁰²¹⁵

P. Y. Ervine, Esq., of Saline county, Missouri, died at the residence of his brother, Milton Ervine, Esq., on Sunday last. He and Mrs. Ervine came to Virginia to visit their friends, and while here he was taken sick and died. He was a gentleman of excellent character, intelligent, honest and kind. He left this county near forty years ago, to make his home in Missouri. That State was at that time almost a wilderness, but he went to work, and by his energy and industry secured for himself a fine estate. He was highly esteemed by all who knew of his sterling worth, and the announcement of his death will be received with sorrow by a host of warm-hearted friends in both Virginia and Missouri.

DIED

IRVINE — At her residence in this city on Monday morning about seven o'clock, Mrs. P. Y. Irvine, aged about 75 years. The funeral was preached Tuesday at the residence by Rev. Dr. Sharp and the burial took place at Mt. Carmel. The deceased was a worthy christian lady and the widow of the late Philip Y. Irvine, one of Saline's old settlers and a citizen held in the highest respect and esteem. He died some year ago. They reared a large family of children several of whom have figured prominently in this city and county. Rev. Mel Irvine, now of Warrensburg, but for several years the pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and a leading divine of this city, Mr. Jas. H. Irvine who has just finished a term as County Assessor, and Mr. A. T. Irvine, formerly a prominent business man of this city, but now located at Ravana, Kansas, are of the number. The other sons are Will, Ed and Hugh, of this city, and Arthur, of Memphis. Mr. Jas. H. Irvine was visiting relatives in Syracuse, Kansas, at the time and did not reach here until Monday evening. The sorrow felt for the the loss of the mother will be tampered by the knowledge in the minds of her children that she lived a useful and christian life and passed away in the fullness of years to reap the reward of a faithful pilgrimage on earth.
