MRS. C. S. HAGGARD DIES OF PARALYSIS
Plano Star Courier, October 7, 1921
At 9 o’clock last night, just as the last type forms of the Star-Courier were going to press, the sad news of the death of Mrs. C. S. Haggard, generally spoken of with affection as “Grandma” Haggard, was conveyed from her country home to relatives and friends in Plano.
She was attacked with paralysis at 5:30 in the afternoon and passed away at 9 o’clock last night.
Mrs. Haggard had been an invalid since a fall in which a limb was broken a year or two ago.
Funeral arrangements had not been made last night.
Mr. and Mrs. Haggard were among the oldest living residents of the Plano community, the deceased being eighty two years of age. They are probably the best known couple in the community, and have for many years been loved and honored as the first citizens of the community and as models for all who knew them to imitate.
MRS. HAGGARD WAS A PIONEER SETTLER

(McKinney Examiner)
After a residence of more than sixty years near Plano and having lived to celebrate her sixty second wedding anniversary, Mrs. C. S. Haggard of Plano died at the family home two miles west of Plano at 9 p.m. Thursday, October 8. Mrs. Haggard was 84 years of age and was a native of Kentucky. She and her husband had resided in the Plano community for sixty odd years. They were married at Plano September 1, 1859 by Elder J. S. Muse of McKinney. She and her husband who survives were among the best citizens of the county and liberal supporters of the church and school interests of the state and county in which they lived.
The funeral Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. in the beautiful Christian church of Plano, of which the deceased was a member, was largely attended. The church was filled to its capacity. Rev. E. W. Martin, her pastor, presided. Rev. C. S. Weaver, pastor of the First Christian church, delivered the prayer message and Rev. R. C. Horn preached the funeral sermon. Grandsons of the deceased were active pallbearers, and a goodly number of prominent life-long friends were honorary pallbearers. The floral offerings were many and rare in richness and colorings, Many friends from far and near attended. After the church service the long funeral procession moved to Bethany cemetery where the remains were lovingly and tenderly laid to rest.
The Examiner editors feel keenly the sorrow of the passing of this dear friend. We knew her for many years; her life, together with that of her husband, has truly been a benediction and a blessing to all who knew them as friends. In the casket of memory the brightest pearl will be placed for Aunt Kate Haggard.
The wilderness of flowers placed above the little mound at Bethany represent the affection of human hearts in the garden of which other flowers will bloom and blossom with the passing years. Aunt Kate was so thoughtful of her friends. We have in our possession a number of letters so full of cheerful words so characteristic of her long life of Christian service. Again we say we shall miss her, but the aroma of her sweet life will linger long since the vase is broken.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Haggard is survived by the following children: John Haggard, Walter Haggard, Mrs. J. W. Shepard, Mrs. J. S. Aldridge, Mrs. N. E. Bishop, Mrs. Emma Bishop, all of Plano and Mrs. G. A. Ray, of Pettus.
