Death of John A. Logan.

John A. Logan, Of Avon township.
one Of the oldest residents Of Sumner
county, died very suddenly and in
very sad manner last Sunday. He
had gone to the barn to turn the
horses out Sunday morning and while
returning TO the house fell TO the
ground. His wife ran to him and
after much effort got him to his feet
and led him to the house, almost car
rying him. He was tenderly laid on
the bed and the only thing lac was
able to say was to ask that his boots
might be taken of. Mrs. Logan then
sent after her son, Doc. Logan. who
lived near, but before he got there his
father was dead.
He was IS years of age and came to
Kansas from Indiana twenty years
ago. He had been feeble for some time.
A few years ago a horse fell on him
and he was partially paralyzed. The
immediate cause of his death was
supposed to be heart disease. The
funeral was held Tuesday afternoon
at the residence and he was inferred
in Praire Lawn cemetery. Rev.
Wickham, Of Wellington, conducted
the services.

directly opposed to the teachings and
