Tombstone and photograph provided by a direct Descendant, Robin Joan Bagwell, of Lorenzo Dow Bagwell.
Raleigh Christian Advocate, 25 October 1876, Page 3.
Lorenza Dow Bagwell was born Aug. 4, 1814, and died at his residence in Alexander co, N.C.,Sept 10th 1876, aged 62 years and 25 days.
In 1838 he was happily married to Miss Agnes Elizabeth Morrison, and became the father of 7 children, 4 sons and 3 daughters, all of who are living, save one, who died a prisoner at Chicago, during the war. One son, Rev J T Bagwell, is a member of the N C Conference.
Bro Bagwell joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in the year 1840, and was a zealous and active member until removed by death to the Church triumphant. During the 36 years of his connection with the church he filled at different times the various offices namely, class-leader, S S Superintendent and steward. But whatever relation he sustained to the church, he was true to her interests. He loved the church and therefore cheerfully performed any duty assigned him. He was always ready to go anywhere to conduct prayer meetings, when he thought the Master's interests might be promoted.
During the writer's personal acquaintance with him he filled the office of steward, and no steward manifested more interest in the wellfare of his pastor. He often came to the parsonage to inquire after our wants, and to encourage us with his cheerful conversation but he will come to us no more. How sad to think he is gone! No more will we hear the sound of his foot steps at the door. No more hear his familiar voice. No more will his friendly smiles greet us. No, he is gone, but doubts never come. Our loss is his eternal gain. For nearly a week prior to his death he was unconscious: Consequently the only testimony which he left was his former life. But that is sufficient. He was a good man and is gone to his reward. It is hard to part with our earthly friends, but it is a matter of gratitude and praise when we can look up through our tears and say with confidence our beloved is in heaven. We sympathize deeply with the bereaved and afflicted family of our brother, May God bless and sustain them in the loss of one so near and dear, and may we all meet him in heaven!

Milas Nathaniel Bagwell married Margaret Farris Kelley in 1839 at Pike County, Arkansas.2 Milas Nathaniel Bagwell lived in 1840 in Pike County, Arkansas.3 From 1856 until 1876 BAGWELL was known as Robbinsville. Then the name was changed to honor Miles (sp) Bagwell who owned a tanyard with three vats and a blacksmith shop. Mr. Bagwell made the first Carey plow in the section.
This plow had a wooden moldboard made from ash. At one time Bagwell had two hotels, three barbershops, a drug store, two blacksmith shops, a grist mill, a post office and a bank. The railroad was built by convict labor in
1875-76.
Source: Gateway To Texas, History of Red River County, Martha Sue Stroud, 1997, page 269. The New Handbook of Texas Online: BAGWELL, TEXAS. "Bagwell is at the
intersection of Ranch roads 2120 and 2573, seven miles northwest of
Clarksville and six miles east of Detroit in western Red River County. It
was named for Milas Bagwell, who operated a tannery and blacksmith shop in the area, and was built on the Texas and Pacific Railway when it was
constructed through the county in 1875-76. The post office in Robbinsville, a small community 2 miles to the south, seems to have been moved to the new town of Bagwell in 1876. By 1884 Bagwell had cotton gins, a sawmill, a gristmill, a church, a district school, and a population of 200. The town was a railroad shipping point for lumber and shingles produced in town and cotton and cottonseed produced by area farmers. By 1914 the population had reached 300, and two small banks were in operation. The population was 400 in the late 1920s, 250 in the late 1930s and 350 in 1947. By 1961 U.S. Highway 82 had bypassed Bagwell, and the population of the town had begun to decline sharply. It was 195 in 1964, 95 in 1970, and 108 in 1980. In 1986 the town had four businesses. In 1990 the population was 150."

Source: Gateway To Texas, History of Red River County, Martha Sue Stroud, 1997, page 269. The New Handbook of Texas Online: BAGWELL, TEXAS. "Bagwell is at the
intersection of Ranch roads 2120 and 2573, seven miles northwest of
Clarksville and six miles east of Detroit in western Red River County. It
was named for Milas Bagwell, who operated a tannery and blacksmith shop in the area, and was built on the Texas and Pacific Railway when it was
constructed through the county in 1875-76. The post office in Robbinsville, a small community 2 miles to the south, seems to have been moved to the new town of Bagwell in 1876. By 1884 Bagwell had cotton gins, a sawmill, a gristmill, a church, a district school, and a population of 200. The town was a railroad shipping point for lumber and shingles produced in town and cotton and cottonseed produced by area farmers. By 1914 the population had reached 300, and two small banks were in operation. The population was 400 in the late 1920s, 250 in the late 1930s and 350 in 1947. By 1961 U.S. Highway 82 had bypassed Bagwell, and the population of the town had begun to decline sharply. It was 195 in 1964, 95 in 1970, and 108 in 1980. In 1986 the town had four businesses. In 1990 the population was 150."
