II Is our unwecome duty 10 Announce the
death of W nj d. Beeier, Of this place. which
event occurred about 6 O'Clock OF M"Hdsy
morning last, after an illness Of a little over a
week, of Typhoid Pneumonia. He was in the
SD year of bis age:
Mr.. Beeler was Que Of the earliest settlers
In Kansas. We believe he was bOrn in Ohio
but was raised in Indiana. When young
man, he removed to Missouri. locating IN
Greene County. near Springfield, where he
married, and shortly after~ard came to Holt
County, being among the early settlers OF that
County. lie once held the Office Of Sheriff OF
Holt County.
Early in the Spring Of 1855, he came to
Iowa Point, in this County, where, in cobnec.
ton with C. M. and r. n. Williams. he %.
tsblished q store. under the firm Of w. D.
Bseler l. Co. They did a very heavy bust
ness, as Iowa Point was at that time the lead
ing business toxa 10 Northern Kansas; and
their store was regarded as Free State head
quarters for the north eastern part OF the Ter
ritory. In fact, there we're but few Free State
men besides themselves in the town, and dur
ing the troubles, their store VAS in constant
danger Of being destroyed. In the Fall OF
1858, they closed their business at Iowa Point,
and removed to White Cloud. though not en-
gaging in business as firm.
NJ. Bssler WAS a member OF the LeaveE-
worth Constitutional Cow eption, in 1858; was
elected Sheriff of this County, in 1861, and
served one term, when he returned to bis farm
near White Cloud. For the past three years,
he had bseu engaged in the saw milling bus
ness. IN tewn.
MIR. Beelcr vas regarded as one Of our most
driving, energetic, upright business nen-al-
ways at work, and always keeping his affairs
10 perfect shape, so that he at all times knew
just how be stood with the business world.
His loss will be severely felt by the community
We are told that Mr.. Beeler was never con-
fined to his bed single day BY sickness, until
taken down with his last illness. He had been
ailing for some days. with severe cold. but
kept hard ct work and business until Saturday
evening, the 5th, when he gave up, and vent
70 bed. A physician was called on Sunday
morning, but it was too late to arrest the dis
ease. He was deirious, and continued SO for
the greater part OF the time during his illness.
He grew steadily worse, until death ensued.
Mr.. Beeler leaves widow and six children.
His oldest son was killei by bushw haekers, in
Arkansas, during the war. By industry, en-
ergy, and economy. the deceased was enabled
to leave his family in good circumstances. In
addition to his other property, his life was in.
snred for 900 in the Life Association Of
America.
The funeral was set for Tuesday, but in
consequence Of the intensely cold and stormy
weather. was postponed until to-day, when
the remains we're buried on the farm Of the
deceased, two miles south OF town, with the
honors of Odd Fellowship. of which Order he
had been for many years a jealous and faithful
member. A large eoncourse of friends ant
citizens also testified, BY their presence. the
high esteem in which the deceased was held.
