FRANK EDWARDS. TH1lR FAITH
1R, DEAD n OKLAHOMA.
Children Have Han With Their
0raadparsah Near xsonlight fsr
Several Ysars-A Pathetic Letter.

Judge Flack Saturday received from
tie probate Judge Of Logan county,
Oklahoma, an inquiry about the two
sons Of Frank A. Edwards who died q
few days ago. Edwards lived alone
on bis claim east Of Guthrie but died
at . nsighbor's. Before dying be
gave . book to the neighbor saying
that in 1t were the names Of parties
who had adopted bis two boys and
that they were in Dickinson county.
The names are almost illegible but
appear to b Stanley Steel, Joel W.
Steel, Elizabeth Steel, Herbert Steel,
The boys are living with their
mothers parents, Mr.. and Mrs.. ]. W.
Steel, near Moonlight. They are
aged 10 and II years and have resid.
Cd with Mr.. and Mrs. Stssl for several
years., their father bringing thsm here
after their mothers death In Okla
homa.
The following dispatch tothe Wich.
10 Eagle gives the details Of the
fathers death:
GUTHRIE, o. T., March l.--Frank
Edwards, . homsstsadsr Of South
Cimarron township, died Wednesday
afternoon At bis farm home alone and
forgotten by relatives, but surrounded
BY kind nsighbors. He had been a
hard working farmer on bis claim fol
years, experiencing moreo Of the downs
than ups Of life. It is known that be
was widower and has two children
evidently in some portion Of Kansas
George Rush and other neighboI
farmers attended the last moments ol
Edwards and after bis death came i'm
mediately to Guthrie to make In
|quiries. They called up Probate
Judge G. W. Goodrich about .l(
o'clock at night and had special let
ters Of administration issued to MIR,
Rush. Judge Goodrich then assisted
them in securing casket. They
turned over to the Judge a small note
book that had been found In Edwards
pocket after bis death.
Yesterday noon, while examing the
notebook, Judge Goodrich discovered,
written in an almost illegible hand,
the last will Of the deceased. He told
pitiable story Of how be had been
censured by "her folks" because be
had not sent them money for bis two
boys. He told how be had "labored
in the torrid heat plowing and cut
ting corn with only gunny sack for
a shirt and no sleeves" His recitals
show . spirit Of honesty but almost
depressed by hard luck.
He asks that some one write 10
Abilene, Kansas, TO the probate Judge
regarding bis two sons. II both arc
living he Wills to them the north and
south "eighty acres" respectively.
His farmer friends report him 40
having been we'll educated. He had
asked that bis two sons bs adopted BY
bis relatives, and II not by them, then
by no one at oil. Through all bis
remarks there was . bitterness, born
Of discord, against "her folks"
Among his last requests WAS one
that two loads Of wood should be
given to iome doctor In Guthrie who
had attended him.
