Farm Boy, 13, Strangled By Rope While PlayingMonte Carol Perdew, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Perdew, accidentally strangled himself Sunday evening while at his farm home two miles southwest of Bedford.
According to his parents, the boy, wearing a cowboy holster and toy gun, had been playing with a rope around a short limb of a tree in the farmyard while helping his mother with the evening chores.
Mrs. Perdew said she missed him for about 15 minutes, and when she went to look for him she found his body, tangled in the rope, hanging from a tree. His feet were only a few inches from the ground.
Monte's father was helping a neighbor put up hay at the time of the accident.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Gravity Christian church, with burial in the Gravity cemetery. Rev. F. H. Cowles of the Bedford Baptist church officiated.
Born in Gravity April 3, 1938, Monte moved near Bedford five years ago with his parents. He attended Daugherty school where he completed seventh grade this spring.
He is survived by his parents; his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Perdew and Mrs. Jane Huss of Gravity; a great grandfather, Harper Brown of Gravity; four uncles, Calvin Huss of Lyons, Col., Charles Huss and Robert Perdew of Gravity, Leonard Perdew of Lenox; two aunts, Vada McColm of Bedford and Mildred Moore of Gravity.

He enjoyed working on cars, especially Chevelles and had a passion for his Harley-Davidson that he put together from scratch. His family was his number one priority and he enjoyed spending time with them. Stub enjoyed life and was always up for a good time . . . always wanting to be where the action was! Stub also enjoyed fishing with his children . . .and if there was a pond they wanted to fish . . he would find a way to get to the pond. He also loved to go coyote hunting and using his CB with his handle being "Captain Zig-Zag".
Left to cherish Stub's memory are his wife Jan Perdew of Conway; two sons, Todd Perdew and wife Toni of Bedford; Monte Perdew and wife Christina of Charlotte, North Carolina; two daughters, Ashley Perdew of Conway and Krystal Perdew of Creston; two brothers, Terry Perdew and friend Lolinda Campbell of Creston; and Dennis Perdew and friend Juanita Heimke of Conway; two sisters, Norma Finnell and husband Walter of Conway; and Zonette Beemer and Hank Erickson of Conway; a sister-in-law, Jeanette Perdew of Conway; and a special niece, Melanie Ruby and husband Doug of Diagonal, who took great care of Stub during the last several years; along with many other family members and friends.
Preceding Stub in death are his parents Leonard and Marie Perdew and a brother, Otis Perdew.
Stub will be missed for his fun-loving nature by his family and friends.

Dennis (Denny) Lester Perdew was born on July 9, 1947, in Creston, Iowa to son of Leonard Charles Perdew and Marie Evelyn (Jackson) Perdew. He graduated from Clearfield High School with the Class of 1965. He entered into the United States Army in 1966 where he served for two years. In the few years that followed, he married Lurae Straight on June 11, 1971. From this union was born their daughter Ivy Dawn Perdew (Mueller).
In his younger years Denny worked road construction as a heavy equipment operator. Using the skills that he learned working road construction, he started his own business. At the start of the business his two older brothers Odie and Stub Perdew worked alongside him for over a decade. Perdew Construction has been in operation for over 35 years moving dirt for agricultural improvements.
His most enjoyed moments in life were running the yellow bulldozer and moving dirt from sun up to sun down. When people think of Denny Perdew, I believe they’ll think of him as an honest hard working man, and an excellent provider for his family.
Left to cherish Denny’s memories are his daughter Ivy Perdew Mueller and husband Mark Mueller and grandson Noah Mueller of Grandview, Missouri; one brother, Terry Perdew and friend Lolinda Campbell of Creston; two sisters, Norma Finnell and husband Walter of Conway; and Zonette Beemer and friend Hank Erickson of Conway; a sister-in-law, Jeanette Perdew of Conway and friend Ray; a dear friend, Juanita Heimke of Creston and many nieces and nephews.
Preceding Denny in death are his parents, Leonard and Marie Perdew; two brothers, Odie Perdew and Stub Perdew; and a brother-in-law, Dale Beemer.
He will truly be missed by many new and old friends, family and the community he served.Family Members
