Obituary

Edward Aaron, youngest child of w.
F. Chalfant, died at the family residence
at the corner of Fifth avenue and Neo-
sho street Sunday morning after an
illness of some days from summer COM
plant, aged 1 years. months and Is
days. The remains were taken TO Bur.
lingame for burial, prior to which
appropriate services Were held ut the
house by Rev. Dr. Cordley, of The Con.
| gregaiional church.
Ephemeral in its bloom, this tender
| flower had but unfolded its leaves to the
sunshine of two fleeting summers when
| the reaper whose name is Death
| pluckcd il from amid the
| thorns of earth and transplanted ii
in the fields of light. And so, the
fair prospect of the loving guardians OF
its fragrance and beauty IS desolGted
there is stiffness in the household that
was wont TO resound'with the prattle of q
| baby voice and the patter of infant feet
a tiny chair ar hearth and board is vacant
and hereafter little Eddie will only live
| on Garth in the hearts and memories OF
those who had learned to love him so
we'll. But there is another cherub in
heaven; another lamb has been gathered
to the arms and pillowed upon the bosom
of the loving Savior, and the sorrowing
parents and bereayed brothers and sis
ters of the little pilgram whose sojourn
on earth was SO brief have treasure be-
yond the reach of death and decay.

the delicious refreshments served for

The proprie,ors, aided by corps of
experienced servants, ministercd to The
wants Of their guests in the most ac-

ice cream and accompanying delieacies
was par excellence.
Shortly sitter 8 O'Clock the K. 7. band

the pleasure of the opening by
one of their exquisite open air con-
certs, which, in our judgment. was the
best they have given this season. Com
pliments and applause were showered
upon taem from all directions. and their
superb music drew forth many express
sions of surprise and delight from the
numerousstrangers attracted to the spot
by the enchanting strains which fioated
out on the clear night air.
The affair throughout was most thor

The community was surprised last
Manday to learn of the death0f Nicho-
las Lockerman, which took place at his
home ON the Cottonwood, about four
miles west of the city. He had been
about his work until Friday. he had a
violent attack of cholera morbus, which
resulted in inflammation Of the bowels.
which ended his life at six O'Clock sun
day evening. The doctor IN attendance
says lie came as near having an attack
of the genuine cholera as any person he
ever saw not to have it. His age was
=b,ut flfty-six years. He leaves q wife
and an adopted daughter. The funeral
took place this afternoon, and the re.
mains were laid TO their final rest in
MaplewoOd cemetery, Elder Lott, Of
the Christian church, officiating.
Mr.. Lockerman was . native Of
Montgomery county, Illinois, and came
10 Kansas at an early day, settling fir
ia Leayenworth county. he came to
this county in 1856, accompanied By his
aged mother. Both took claims on the
Cottonwood. and these were the nucleus
of the handsome fortune which Mr.. L
accumulated. He was one of the mosi
industrious and successful farmers II
Lyon county. In former years he be
ionged to the Christian church
but was moi, we believe. iden.
tilted with il for some years preyi
Gus 70 his death. A good many years
ago he married the daughter of Eli Da
Wis who thea lived in Pike township
who survives him.
