Wagner could draw at any moment from

No change IN the fashions of the stage can ever

The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1883-11-08

Never was such gloom of sadness thrown
over this community as on Monday morn
ing, when it was announced that Ed F.
Eddings was dead Few could believe it at
first, but, alas! the angel of Death had
sealed his doom, and called him to the
other shore, where suffering is no longer
known.
He was born in Vancouver January 18th,
1856, and died Nov. 5th, 1883. On Mon
day morning he arose, feeling as we'll as
ever. He went to the office, and at about
s o'clock returned to his home as usual for
breakfast. He sat down and began playing
fast was announced. He arose to take his
place at the table, but it was the last time,
for he threw up his arms and fell back
corpse. He had suffered from heart
disease ever since he was quite young boy,
and this was the ultimate cause of his
DEATH Last Friday evening he received
the nomination for City Treasurer, but he
died on the morn of election
Ed. Eddings personally was one of the best
hearted, frankest and most liberal young
men that ever walked the streets of Van
couver. For number of years he occupied
the position of deputy postmaster in this
city, and always conducted his affairs dur
ing his entire official career with marked
ability and precision. He was courteous,
obligng, and always ready to extend a
favor; and above all, he was conscientious
No more will we hear his kindly greeting;
no longer will he enter our Office as he did
in days gone by; no longer will he be seen
on our streets; no longer will his pleasing
countenance be seen at the delivery window;
for the grim messenger of Death has called
him to that delivery window above where
all is peace and happiness. Ed. we will
miss you.
The funeral services were held on Tues
day afternoon at o'clock, at the family
residence, from whence the remains were
conveyed to their final resting place, under
the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, of
which he was an honored member, and fol-
lowed by large concourse of sorrowing
friends. The bereaved family and relatives
have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community in this their sad bereavement.
