A GOOD MAN GONE.

Charley Foetlsch, prominent far
mer, a respected citizen, a good man,
Is at his journeys end. He died of
lockjaw occasioned by an injury to
his thumb.
He was born In AItenberg, Saxony,
in 1885. When 2l years % age he
came TO America, settling at ST.
Louis. He came in perfect sympathy
with the institutions Of free govern
ment, and in the early days OF the
Civil War, with the rest of the loyal
Germans took an active part in saving
st. Louis anC Missouri for the Union.
He resided in S.. Louis until 1853
when he removed TO Leavenworth,
Kas., working here as stone cutter
and contractor, doing work on The
state peniteutiary. While in Leayen-
worth he married Mary Potts who
survives him, To this happy and for
tunate union seven children were
born.
In 1870 in company with his wife
he left Leavenworth for Neosho
county, settling on claim near Earl
ton. Like all the pioneers, he came
poor, but by ceaseless activity and
business sagacity he became one of
our most successful and prosperous
farmers. For time after settling IN
Neosho county he worked as a stone
cutter doing work on what is now the
Bailey and National Bank buildings.
But of later years he confined his
work exclusively to his farm, where
he expected to spend the evening OF
his life with the family he loved so
we'll, but Death beckoned and he ans
wered to the call.
In his death we have lost an ideal
citizen. Although born in foreign
land, his every hope was for the well
fare of the country Of his adoption.
His voice was always heard on the
side of liberty and justice. He was an
honest man In that he had fixed views
of right and wrong and before the tri-
hunal of his conscience he determined
his course where the ways divided, he
was public spirited man. Every
undertaking that was for the better
ment Of the community or the welfare
of the country enlisted his best and
strongest effort. lie was a chartible
man, always condemniDg idieness, yet
he had a warm place 10 his heart for
the poor and sorrowing.
The unfortunate foand no one more
ready TO give. none quicker to aid
than he. He was good father, a
kind husband and a true friend. What
more could be said? AS long as hon
esty, generosity and fearlessnnss are
respected, the name OF Charley Foe
tisch will be revered. Our hearts 60
